;<big>Undid revisions on Jose Roberto Antonio page</big> |
|||
Hi Brianhe, |
|||
I don't understand why you undid all of my revisions. I took out several inaccurate statements by OceanFlynn (#1-2) and other inaccurate statements that are out of context when compared to the article that was by ManilaTimes |
|||
1 - Jose Roberto Antonio is not a special envoy to the US by President Duterte, his dad is (Jose E.B. Antonio) |
|||
2 - the statement “He is a board director of Operation Smile Philippines which was unveiled in 2012 by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump” – that’s new and it sounds odd. The Trumps didn’t unveil Operation Smile Philippines. |
|||
3 - As for the part that says the article “characterized Antonio's personal spending on vanity projects and relatively modest philanthropic spending as indicative of inequality in the Philippines where the average family income in 2013 was $4,988” this is inaccurate if you read the original article by ManilaTimes and the use of the line “the average family income in 2013 was $4,988”. It seems to be a mishandling of the article. |
|||
This is what the original line says in context: |
|||
One could sense a slight hint of disgust over such display of wealth in the Vanity Fair article, pointing out that the $15 million cost of the Antonio’s house “is in somewhat stark contrast to the average annual Filipino-family income of $4,988.” |
|||
4 - I do not understand what the original poster of the above is trying to portray, if he wants to say that Jose Roberto Antonio spends more on himself unlike other tycoons who fund schools (as the article points out) then he should rephrase his statement and use the ManilaTimes article properly. |

The fact was ... that the members of alt-country supergroup case/lang/veirs have collectively made more than 30 studio albums? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Case/lang/veirs), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. Bell Pottinger redraftHi Brianhe, I've had one or two discussions on the talk page of Bell Pottinger over the last year or so. The whole article is quite sprawling and there are quite a few things out of date. As I've posted on the talk page, I've prepared a shorter redraft (see here), which updates a few things and which I hope is an appropriate length and appropriately balanced. Would you mind taking a look when you have a moment? Note my COI - I work for Bell Pottinger. Many thanks. Jthomlinson1 (talk) 13:14, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Ducati ST series - merger.Now that Ducati ST series is well established, perhaps it is time that the proposed merger with the ST2, ST3 & ST4 pages should proceed.

Not all editors are familiar with outlines. It also lets them know how many outlines there are, and directs them to the entire set at Portal:Contents/Outlines, so they can see the scope of the operation. Note that there is an effort underway to improve all outlines, according to the established standard, and create new ones, but it has nothing to do with that notice. Motorcycles is one of the best outlines. It's missing some annotations, but nothing to be worried about. If you'd like to see what's going on with outlines, see Wikipedia:Community portal#Outlines. And check out the draft namespace, starting at "Outline of". Cheers, The Transhumanist 01:33, 30 August 2016 (UTC) Who's this?[1].

Relative wealth, paid editing@Doc James: You said that paid editors using Fiverr and such can "become relatively wealthy" by circumventing our ToS and working through socks, etc. I think this is a valid point and made me consider something I have been pondering lately. By the standards of many North Americans, working through Fiverr is not really lucrative and I think many Wikipedians see this as a low-grade threat because they would not do it for that level of compensation. However for many people in the world, it is indeed as you say relatively well compensated. So as more of the world acquires access to the Internet, higher levels of English education, and tools such as Fiverr that serve as conduits to wealthy individuals or organizations in the Global North, the impact on this project becomes greater. Hence the recent proliferation of COIN/SPI investigations pointing towards actors in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Uganda, Nigeria, the Phillipines, etc. (Interestingly, the Indian SPIs are often relatively locally-oriented, that is, Indian actors for Indian subjects, most significantly companies and film. Maybe this reflects the greater industrialization and locally available wealth of India?) What this means for the long-term health of ENWP and for the people attracted to the business of undeclared paid editing, I don't know yet. Talking to WWB recently made me consider this issue more broadly; maybe there is an ethical opportunity for each side that hasn't been sussed out yet. - Brianhe (talk) 19:24, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
Just something to check onA sock from this paid COI ring that I blocked has just submitted an unblock request after over a year (last SPI is also over a year old). I'm guessing the ring may be active again, so you or someone else may want to take a look for new activity. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 05:49, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

I was trying to help, please know that. And I did explain in great detail my changes on that talk page, but after you reverted my change I deleted that message. Perhaps I was too bold with this. Nobody else had jumped on the needed improvements, and since I'd chirped so much to keep it I felt obligated to help. All that aside, please consider your reversion, it has degraded the work terribly. I implore you to reconsider, or produce something better yourself. Your reversion is no where near the improvement I'd made, I'm quite confident. Anyway, good luck with it, I'm going to step back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by J. M.

Image Sizing for Suzuki GSX-R1000Hey Brianhe! Is there any way to appropriately resize the image for the page Suzuki GSX-R1000, as per the motorcycle infobox (specifically the photo of the 2001 K1), or at least increase the length of the lead material? The page looks a bit odd as it currently stands, because the lead in text is so short. I did a preview with resizing, which definitely looks better, but I'm not sure how desirable it would be to decrease the image size, just to get an aesthetically pleasing effect. Larger is definitely better and more encyclopedic. Unfortunately, the only other way I can see to fix it would be to pull in material from the body and incorporate it into the lead. --FuzzyGopher (talk) 00:21, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

CabinetI had gone to the Michael Flynn article and found that citation which had been there for over four months. I only checked to see if the URL was still viable. I've seen Yahoo cited regularly in WP articles. Certainly the Annenberg Center is vastly superior as a source. I would not normally use Yahoo as a source, though they do exercise editorial control, but I wasn't writing a dissertation, merely checking existing content to make sure it was not a dead URL and that the source contained the relevant info. I don't know what you're accusing me of, since "refactoring" doesn't seems to apply remotely to anything I did. I know about as much about computer code as I know about Tungusic. I provided a RSS for Palin's AGW denialism but an IP editor removed it: Global warming denialist.Palin: Global Warming Just "Snake Oil", CBS News, February 9, 2010. Retrieved 12 November 2016. It does however, seem germane to note that a prospective Energy Secretary takes that position. Her scientific credentials also include her believing that the world is less than 7,000 years old and men literally walked with dinosaurs, though those notions are substantially less relevant to the position. Lastly, I've been editing Wikipedia for over 10 years and the only other editor that has ever once taken issue with my USER name was tossed for sockpuppetry years ago. You have far more experience with Wikipedia than I. You don't have to mention my USER name to imply that by characterizing it as "provocative," that I'm not editing in Good Faith. I would think that removal of your comment and an apology by you would be in order. Activist (talk) 10:50, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
