Charlotte Kretschmann[edit]

On Charlotte Kretschmann, you have insisted on keeping the "notability" tag for her article, and cite the AfD pages for Pearl Berg and Elizabeth Francis as reasons for doing so. This is despite the fact that simply being the oldest person in Germany is not the reason justified in general, or even for the edit you reverted of mine, for having her page.

WP:BIO gives clear criteria on whether a person is considered notable or not.

  • If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

There are entire articles about Kretschmann spanning multiple years from The Local, Der Spiegel, Bild, and others that show in-depth coverage of her longevity.

  • Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject.

There is only one primary source in the entire article, and it is a link to her Instagram photo diary, and is only in supplement to 9 secondary in-line citations throughout the rest of the article. I fail to see what argument you have for questioning her notability for Wikipedia. EytanMelech (talk) 20:27, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

" and cite the AfD pages for Pearl Berg and Elizabeth Francis as reasons for doing so". WRONG! I did not mention them at all. There has been a long history of longevity fans creating articles on people who are notable only for being old. Except for most (NOT all) world's oldest person/man/woman articles, the majority of those articles were subsequently deleted for numerous reasons based on policy including WP:NOPAGE, WP:PERMASTUB, WP:BIO1E, WP:OTHERSTUFF, WP:TOOSOON.

Lists of state leaders by age[edit]

Hello, there.

I was wondering if you would agree to give your personal opinion on my arguments for editing the page. To be honest, I was kind of expecting to hear counterarguments from you as you are the one who raised an objection by asking for consensus.

Thanks in advance. Cordially.--Johnn Francis (talk) 05:19, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not vandalism[edit]

Hi there. Browsing through the edit history of a rather chaotic page I noticed this revert: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hari_Hari&diff=prev&oldid=1128245079 Believe it or not, the edit you reverted wasn't vandalism... Williams' dictionary does actually give the meaning "Paphirus largillierti and Dosinia subrosea, bivalve molluscs" - i.e. clams - to harihari, hahari. It's almost certainly not where the Post Office got the name from, though (at the time Harihari was named, the Post Office were busy reverse engineering names in te reo Māori for post offices).

Hmm. It does seem I bit harsh. Perhaps it's because the same edit was done previously by an IP (without explanation) and using the same source as already used in the paragraph would have been such an obvious conflict that it would have been highly unlikely that whoever used the source originally would have failed to mention "clam" as a translation rather than "ambulance", especially when is actually more likely. Apparently not unlikely after all! DerbyCountyinNZ (Talk Contribs) 04:35, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Quite understandable. That page is a bit of a train wreck... I tried to tidy it up a bit yesterday and left a short talk page note but it really needs a Wet Coast expert to give it a thorough going-over. Daveosaurus (talk) 19:13, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Central Burma[edit]

You have placed a cleanup tag on this articla, with the edit summary that thae article is full of Full of "WP:EDITORIAL and/or WP:COPYVIO". Please indicate where there is copyright violation (and wich source is plagiarized) and editorialising. HLGallon (talk) 10:37, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea if there is copyvio or not as most of it is so poorly written from an encyclopedic perspective. It is full of WP:EDITORIAL. If none of it is a copyvio then it needs to be rewritten in the proper encyclopedic tone. DerbyCountyinNZ (Talk Contribs) 10:42, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
