Pepper

Hi !

I agree with your comment on the pepper-disambiguation.

The problem I ran into when trying to fix it is that it appears to me as if *most* of the pages linking to "pepper" really mean pepper as in the group of spices. Which means that:

Linking to black_pepper is wrong. Linking to the disambiguation is however also not correct, it is clear they mean "pepper (spice)" and not for example, "pepper (music)". I wrote about it on the talk-page for pepper.

What do you think about my idea: Write a new page "pepper (spice)" which talks about the group of spices commonly refered to as pepper (or peppers), and include links to the various types of peppers, such as black_pepper and chili_pepper.

Good ? Bad ? Wanna help ?

Nehru Institute of Mountaineering is a highly renowned mountaineering institute in India as well as in Asia. Yet there is very little information available about the courses they conduct. My endeavour was to attempt to capture this information thereby making it a fairly reliable source of information for both national and international students planning to do the course here. I believe the article provides a lot of detail which is otherwise not available either on wikipedia or externally. What I have covered is from my personal experience at the institute recently. Hence the request to maintain this information on wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kausis (talk • contribs)

WP:ACCIM rule #6

Replacing "to the right" with "adjacent" as you did here is not really an improvement. On Wikipedia mobile viewed on a mobile device the image will typically appear above the relevant text (that is in this particular case; depending on where the image wikitext has been inserted, in other cases it could be below). It is not even immediately above, so adjacent is still wrong, possibly even more confusing. For people using screenreaders it is entirely meaningless to use any kind of positional term. SpinningSpark 16:07, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

I appreciate that, but I disagree. I see no scenario where "adjacent" is worse than "left" or "right". The word "adjacent" encompasses "above" and "below", even when not immediately so. If I come across a page where it looks like "adjacent" will actually add confusion, I won't use it, but I have yet to see a page where that is the case. —swpb^T 17:27, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

explain please

At the compact article you said "pointless and harmless" without any elaboration. You also said BRD, and I have started the thread. Please elaborate your views there. Thanks. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 20:53, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

No fault, no shame. I sent one to myself, also. Let's try to be less personalized at the article talk please? Thanks. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 21:46, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

No relevance either. Learn to understand that it's 100% acceptable for me to denigrate your writing without it being a comment on you personally. You're not going to get sympathy for a "conduct" complaint based on anything I've said to you. —swpb^T 14:04, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Abbreviations on Disambig pages

Question: For a disambig article such as FA, it's my understanding that (based on WP:DABABBREV) an editor would only put abbreviations that commonly used and are in the target article (JFK or UK for example). I'm a bit new to the Disambiguation Project and I'm working through the November 2016 list. Am I on the right track here? ThanksDig Deeper (talk) 23:35, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

That's generally right, with the caveat of common sense (as in everything else). Commonly used abbreviations should appear in the target article, but if they don't, it may be worth digging deeper before removing them from the dab. Thanks for working on the backlog and for being concerned about doing it right, and welcome to the project!! —swpb^T 14:07, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me. I rather do things right than create more work for someone else. I don't mind doing some digging, and puns are always welcome! 😊Dig Deeper (talk) 04:13, 23 November 2016 (UTC) Dig Deeper (talk) 04:13, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

New Page Review - newsletter

Hello Swpb,

Breaking the back of the backlog

We now have 828 New Page Reviewers! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog. Now it's time for action.

Mid July to 01 Oct 2016

If each reviewer does only 10 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
Let's get that over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.

Second set of eyes

Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work. Read about it at the new Monitoring the system section in the tutorial.
