Animal Farm

Hi, you have reverted my edit, although the added sentence and the source are about Soviet poets and did not have to imply Animal Farm. That Orwell 'skilfully imitated' sounds as 'the mirror accurately reflected', and not as an exaggeration. You could have deleted 'skilfully', though. And which animal wore Mrs Jones's dress? Doctor Gregory (talk) 00:40, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

If it doesn't imply Animal Farm, then why include it on the article for Animal Farm? Per WP:OR we can't say "there is a connection with these poets" if reliable sources don't say that. Also the word skillfully wasn't the only issue. Saying countless Soviet poets willingly or unwillingly did so is an unsourced statement in multiple ways, as is saying that Orwell skilfully imitated their style and language. Was he trying to imitate their style and language? Skillfully or not that's WP:OR if we don't have a reliable source that says this. Skillfully I take particular issue with though because it's puffery and not neutral wording. As for the animal that wore the dress I had to look at my copy of the book but it says ...Napoleon himself appearing in a black coat, ratcatcher breeches, and leather leggings, while his favourite sow appeared in the watered silk dress which Mrs. Jones had been used to wearing on Sundays. I did not see the part about the sow which was further down, and I don't take issue with that part of the edit. - Aoidh (talk) 01:10, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

1) I included the sentence and the source about poets because the paragraph is about Minimus, the poet pig. 2) Daniel Weissbort in the quoted book clearly states: "... genuine creative artists were forced into silence, while doctrinaire Socialist Realist writers or time-servers ... were prepared to subordinate their art ... to social directives, to glorify ... and ultimately to panegyrize Stalin..." (p. 14), i.e. "willingly". Anna Akhmatova, a "genuine creative artist", "trying to secure" her imprisoned son release, "published a cycle of overtly propagandistic poems praising Stalin and the Soviet regime", i.e. "unwillingly". (Wells, David. Anna Akhmatova: her poetry, 1996, p. 21.). 3) Orwell's book reflects events in the Soviet Union and he did imitate Soviet poets' style and language: cf. the lyrics of these songs of the Stalin years with Minimus's poem "Comrade Napoleon" in your copy of the book. 4) You were quick to undo my edits as if they were WP:VANDAL and, of course, "did not see the part about the sow" along with the point as a whole. Doctor Gregory (talk) 09:35, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

The comparison is still WP:OR, and the statements within the edit also still unsourced. Your edit was problematic, and therefore your edit was reverted. I don't need more than a couple of minutes to figure that out, and I didn't accuse you of vandalism nor did I treat the edit as such. Your edit would have been reverted, sow or not, because of the problems with it. I only mentioned the sow part because you brought it up so I wanted to point out that if you reinserted that specific part, I would have no issue with it, but the rest of it remains problematic and should not be reintroduced into the article. - Aoidh (talk) 09:42, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

I have brought the sources and explanations here in this talk and can include them as Explanatory notes in the article. And not to use the word skilfully if it causes a subjective interpretation. Doctor Gregory (talk) 10:55, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

It is still WP:OR, even with these sources. The article cannot make conclusions or comparisons that reliable sources themselves don't make. You're comparing a poem with the text of the novel and concluding that they are similar and that one imitates the other. That conclusion is WP:OR. Per WP:SYNTH: Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any source. You would need a source that explicitly says what you're wanting to include, and those sources just don't. - Aoidh (talk) 11:13, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Yet it is not a conclusion, but an observation. Animal Farm represents the USSR, Minimus represents Soviet artists, his poems represent theirs. What is wrong with this statement? When you have the habit of constantly finding faults with everything, you become overly critical and jump to conclusions. Still, you could have inserted a {{Citation needed}} tag, and not undo the edit whatsoever. Does one have to find a source of every single sentence in Wikipedia and if not, to revert them all? You have not convinced me with the templates you hang up and I don't agree that your decision must be final, although I am not going to take any further actions. I wanted to improve the article, but you decided that worse is better. Doctor Gregory (talk) 12:41, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

You can call it an observation instead of a conclusion but semantics will not change the issue at hand. You cannot present an observation like that without a reliable source; that is still WP:OR no matter what you call it. While I do believe you wanted to improve the article, your edit had serious issues. Removing those issues is hardly deciding "that worse is better". If anything it's the opposite, as removing WP:OR is an improvement to the article. I also don't even begin to know what you're talking about when you said You have not convinced me with the templates you hang up as I have never put any templates on your talk page, the article talk page, or the article itself as far as I can recall and certainly have not today. You came to my talk page for an explanation and I have provided it; I am not trying to convince you of anything. - Aoidh (talk) 13:09, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello. I have decided to resume the talk because the paragraph about the poetic pig needs clarification. If it is not Mayakovsky who represents Minimus and his poems, then who? My edit gives the answer. Templates that do not convince are WP:OR and WP:SYNTH because the issue is neither the former nor the latter, cf. WP:UCS and WP:SYNNOT. Source 1 reads that Soviet writers "were prepared to subordinate their art ... to glorify ... and ultimately to panegyrize Stalin", source 2 states that a certain Soviet poet was forced to do this, therefore the phrase "Soviet poets willingly or unwillingly praised Stalin" is verifiable. To remove the words "skilfully" and "imitated", it may be stated in the paragraph: "The style and language of Minimus's poem 'Comrade Napoleon' resembles Soviet poets' countless eulogies". Doctor Gregory (talk) 19:01, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

The issue remains the same. It doesn’t matter that your edit gives the answer if it’s not reliably sourced, which your edit wasn’t. You cannot draw conclusions that the sources themselves do not say, and those sources you cited do not support the content you added to the article. - Aoidh (talk) 19:20, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Please read my suggested edit and let me know which portion of it is not reliably sourced and if the passage itself violates any Wikipedia rule so that it should be immediately reverted. Yes, it is not a direct quote from just one source, but it should not be such, as long as it is a summary of the information from reliable sources (What SYNTH is not). So, please, open the links and read them also.
... Mayakovsky neither wrote anthems nor praised Stalin in his poems. Still, other Soviet poets did, willingly or unwillingly, and the style and language of Minimus's poem "Comrade Napoleon" resembles their countless eulogies. Doctor Gregory (talk) 22:01, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

References

The comparison is the problem. You cannot compare the poems and go "see they're similar!" that is WP:OR, and the rest of it is irrelevant. You need a source that says this; you cannot make the comparison yourself. You cannot say that the poem resembles anything, unless a reliable source is cited that says exactly that. - Aoidh (talk) 22:52, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Agree to disagree

We can’t seem to resolve our differences so a review is requested There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. ExchangeFORD (talk) 15:05, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Being taken to AN/I for pointing out that sources are trivial mentions and don't show notability is probably a first (certainly is for me), but I've responded there. - Aoidh (talk) 15:35, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted

Hi Aoidh, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed' and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned prolific creators of articles where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 19:29, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

And, have you considered requesting to become an administrator? Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 19:36, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

@Arbitrarily0: Thank you very much for the autopatrolled right. Regarding administrative tools, I have considered it but the RfA process itself is very daunting so it's not something I've approached so far. - Aoidh (talk) 20:58, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

I suspect you'd get through well enough. A first look through your contributions suggests to me that you are a strong candidate. Let me know if ever you want a nomination. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 01:15, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

@Arbitrarily0: I just spent the last hour or so reading the various RfA pages and user essays and such. Let me think on it for a little while and I'll get back to you about it, if that's alright. - Aoidh (talk) 02:55, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Absolutely. No hurry. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 14:08, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

I have sent you an email about this. - Aoidh (talk) 17:41, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

@Theleekycauldron: Thank you, but that is unfortunate that it was this article and not Leafpad above (weird that I got two DYK hooks run at once). I spent all day researching because of concerns raised at Talk:Jieba just to find out that the 300 year part of the DYK hook was wrong. I'm going to take this as a lesson learned and be much more mindful of the quality of the sources that I rely on. - Aoidh (talk) 06:50, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Hey, it happens to everyone. And usually, it's a lot easier to spot than an error that takes hours of obsessive searching to root out. Forehead-slappingly easier. There are... risks to involving yourself in the less-accessible content that is a non-recent non-U.S. non-pop-culture topic; it is generally more difficult and time consuming to find out what the truth is in those spheres. I think you do a great job of it, I've thought so ever since I read your article on the 6th Military Police Group :) I hope you keep this incident in your head for next time – and I hope there are lots of next times for you, where you get to try things out and learn and grow from your experiences.

If you'd like, you can ask WT:DYK to air some kind of correction on your behalf. I hope this hasn't gotten you down too much – after all, I'm excited to see what else you can create. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 07:16, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Aoidh,

I don't believe I need to start with an indent here. Sorry if I should have. This message is regarding the like a résumé tag that you placed on the above article for David E. Olson.

Please advise and thank you in advance for your time.HHA LTP (talk) 19:27, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

@HHA LTP: I've removed the tag from the article, since it is much improved in that aspect (though still not perfect, as I noted in the edit summary). I did remove a sentence in the lede for reasons I expanded upon in a talk page discussion that I started on the article's talk page, if you'd like to discuss that there. - Aoidh (talk) 19:50, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

That's fine, when reliable sources verify the information it can be added, but until then it doesn't belong there. Just to be clear, you personally are not and cannot be used as a reliable source, especially for a claim like that. That is WP:OR; we must be able to verify that the content is reliable. You saying you have authority or knowledge in this matter doesn't make for reliability, as anyone can claim anything; we need published reliable sources to verify what is being said on an article, especially for a biography of a living person. - Aoidh (talk) 04:18, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Removing Michael Knote and Have A Gay Day from the wiki for Jamey Rodemeyer.

Up until a few edits ago Have A Gay Day has been a part of the Jamey Rodemeyer wiki page. Michael Knote started the memorial social media for Jamey and also started the non-profit organization Have A Gay Day and their social media in his memory. The sourcing was on that original edit made almost 10 years ago but when I re-edited it adding it back the sourcing was gone. As far as the edit to the website, if you search Have A Gay Day and Jamey Rodemeyer a host of news stories come up to verify this over the years. Also news articles showing that Have A Gay Day has also received funding from the Born This Way Foundation and Lady Gaga. I am including a few of these articles as reference.

I've commented about this on your talk page, but I do think this is a conversation better had at the article's talk page since it's addressing points that others have made; my main concern (and the reason I reverted the edit) was the fact that the text inserted was an exact copy-paste from a website. - Aoidh (talk) 06:02, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

It is not gibberish, it is actually ROT13. The Wikipedia article tells you how to decode it. Look on the first image. That is how you decode/encode it. 2001:8003:B1B8:BF00:DC70:AC4A:4821:E057 (talk) 09:08, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

I suspected it might be, but it's still gibberish to someone reading the article's talk page. The article's talk page is not an appropriate place to put coded messages, no matter whether they can be decoded or not. The talk page's purpose is to discuss changes to the article, in plain English. - Aoidh (talk) 09:11, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Message in English (I can’t remember the first bit, but it was about making a ROT13-encoded Wikipedia.)

This wiki will contain everything English Wikipedia has. From rules, bot policies, articles to editors and community. I hope this project is successful. DO NOT TRACK ME.

I followed the rules

Now you know what the last part is, please do not block me 2001:8003:B1B8:BF00:DC70:AC4A:4821:E057 (talk) 09:17, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

The content of the encoded message doesn't matter, it does not belong on the article's talk page which is why it was removed. Making a ROT13-encoded Wikipedia has nothing to do with the article on ROT13 itself, especially when it's not being communicated in English. - Aoidh (talk) 09:26, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Ok. I only started editing and being part of the community of editors since yesterday. 2001:8003:B1B8:BF00:DC70:AC4A:4821:E057 (talk) 09:33, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

It's all good, that's just not what talk pages are used for, they're for discussing changes to the article and ways to improve the article. - Aoidh (talk) 09:36, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Ok, on other talk pages I have talked about helping the article because the articles I talked on are 1. Hoaxes or 2. Vandalised/Outdated 2001:8003:B1B8:BF00:DC70:AC4A:4821:E057 (talk) 09:42, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
