Nomination attempt

If you wish to make a nomination to ITNC, please post it directly to the appropriate section of the ITNC page, and not the current events portal, so it displays properly. Thanks 331dot (talk) 10:09, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Dear 331dot, doing this for the first time, and I do not find any place to post other than this "Suggestions" on Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates, the instructions I read appear to me to tell me to post exactly there. Would you be kind enough to link the page I would rather be supposed to post at? -- 2A1ZA (talk) 10:22, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

You are posting on the correct page, but (I believe) using the incorrect edit link, which puts your edit on the Current Events portal template instead of on the ITNC page. Click the "edit" next to the date itself and not the one in the collapsed current events section.

FYI links to other Wikipedia pages should simply be put in double brackets like this [[Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates]]. The whole web address is not necessary. 331dot (talk) 10:26, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, I think it worked. The particular way of linking here was just meant to underline. -- 2A1ZA (talk) 11:04, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

close paraphrasing

'when asked who is most responsible for the depreciation of the lira, only 36 percent of respondents said it was the AKP " - is coming a bit close to a close paraphrase from this source [1]. It is usually not recommended for everything to be in the same order that it is in the source, especially where it was possible to reword it without changing the meaning of the content. In this case, I've reworded this as "During a July 2018 survey, 36 percent of survey respondents said the AKP government was "most responsible" for the depreciation of the Turkish lira". By itself, it's not a big deal, but since there was a most significant verbatim copy of creative language in the same paragraph from another source, I thought I should mention it. (Thanks for fixing the previous one).Seraphim System ^(talk) 15:42, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

I rephrased some of the content but a large amount of content in the article was directly copied and pasted, so even the removal took a lot of time. I've already asked Diannaa to take a look at it and won't be making any edits to the article until I hear back regarding the revdel because I don't want to make the cleanup more difficult right now. Seraphim System ^(talk) 19:29, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

Your rephrasing is fine with me. What is not fine with me is deleting sentences instead of rephrasing them, so I restored and rephrased sentences you deleted. By the way, I think it would be more helpful to have this discussion on the article talk page. -- 2A1ZA (talk) 19:42, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

Dear Diannaa, I made three comments on some RfA today, 1, 2, 3, you might or might not want to read them. -- 2A1ZA (talk) 19:53, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
