Disambiguation link notification for September 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Dawa Dem, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bhutanese. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 07:40, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

access to book

Do you have digital or physical access to C. T. Dorji's book "100 Prominent People of Modern Bhutan"? I imagine it would be very useful in creation of many Bhutanese biographies. If yes, would it be possible to email portions of the book? Regards, TryKid ^{[dubious – discuss]} 11:53, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@TryKid:: Unfortunately, I don't. I only saw a web preview of the book. Lots of pages were skipped, but as luck would have it, two out of three pages on Dawa Dem were in the preview. This is where I saw it: https://www.exoticindiaart.com/book/details/100-prominent-people-of-modern-bhutan-NAM619/. The free web preview contains only bits of Jigme Singye Wangchuck, Dawa Dem, Dr. Dechen Tsering, Rinzin Ongdra Wangchuck, Jey Yeshey Singye and Je Yonton Tharchhin. Dechen Pem and the current Druk Gyalpo are the only ones with complete entries freely visible.

Oops, forgot to sign off... Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI ^{converse | fings wot i hav dun} 12:32, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@TryKid:: Btw, can you read the Tibetan alphabet? Then you can copy-paste Dawa Dem's name from the BBS obituary to use in the infobox. Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI ^{converse | fings wot i hav dun} 12:57, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I somehow missed to reply to this, sorry about that. And sadly I can't read write Tibetan either. And while copy pasting doesn't really require any language skills, checking the BBS obituary, I couldn't find her name written in Dzongkha? Sorry for this delay and regards, TryKid ^{[dubious – discuss]} 01:05, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

BBS has a full Dzongkha version of the page. That's why I asked if you could read Tibetan. And thanks for the 'star. Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI ^{converse | fings wot i hav dun} 02:30, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I applaud your superior source finding skills. This is the second time I'm checking the BBS page and I still can't find the link to Dzongkha version from the English version page. But yeah, isolating her name from that page shouldn't be too hard, I'll try to post it today. Regards, TryKid ^{[dubious – discuss]} 02:47, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see the Dzongkha bit. Where did you get it from? I've found this: འདི་ཡང་ instead. The Wiki article on Ashi also gives the Dzongkha version of Dasho, which is དྲག་ཤོས. In the BBS page, my version འདི་ཡང་ is found right after the word དྲག་ཤོས. Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI ^{converse | fings wot i hav dun} 03:32, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, no, sorry, I think you're right. Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI ^{converse | fings wot i hav dun} 03:43, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

After what happened with the Scots Wikipedia, I understand that that I shouldn't be writing languages I have zero understanding of with scripts I have zero understanding of. The spelling I pasted was given to me by another Bhutanese friend familiar with Dzongkha, so it shouldn't have any errors. Only prominent Wikipedia user, that I know of, with Dzongkha understanding is CFynn, currently inactive/not very active. But there are probably many Tibetan users available, so try to cross check with them. Regards, TryKid ^{[dubious – discuss]} 04:07, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Arati Saha Google Doodle.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Arati Saha Google Doodle.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement of https://www.google.com/doodles/arati-sahas-80th-birthday. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Wikiacc (¶) 23:30, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please go ahead with the deletion. I realised the file was copyrighted only after I uploaded it. It was a mistake and I'll ensure it never happens again. Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI ^{converse | fings wot i hav dun} 00:22, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Restore my updation.

http://www.keralaculture.org/malayalam-language/547 This is my source. I changed the origin and etymology of malaylam which is written wrong. Please restore my updation. Realknowledgesharer90 (talk) 08:13, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please see my message on your talk page. Regards, Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI ^{converse | fings wot i hav dun} 08:24, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the rv, that was my dumb! I was actually looking for the copyright violation by that editor, and mistook your last revert for another edit by them. –Austronesier (talk) 08:30, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

All cool, no harm done. Cheers, Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI ^{converse | fings wot i hav dun} 08:52, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Editor's Barnstar
	You're quite productive, writing the Dawa Dem article. I'm so lazy that I could barely finish one sentence and two citations in 5 months while you've already nominated it for DYK. Very grateful for your hard work. Keep it up. TryKid ^{[dubious – discuss]} 01:10, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DYK nomination of Keiji Nishioka

Hello! Your submission of Keiji Nishioka at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Yoninah (talk) 19:29, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: I'm extremely sorry, I saw your message here but I subsequently forgot all about it. I see TryKid has solved the issue. Thanks for the promotion, and again, sorry for the delay. Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI ^{converse | fings wot i hav dun} 15:09, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Dawa Dem

On 9 October 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Dawa Dem, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Dawa Dem was the first woman to join the Bhutanese civil service and to become a member of the Royal Advisory Council? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Dawa Dem. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Dawa Dem), 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.

Your GA nomination of Dawa Dem

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Dawa Dem you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Jon698 -- Jon698 (talk) 16:02, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The wait icon on second criteria is for the overall verifiability, not copyvio/plagiarism. As Jon698 explains at the GA review page, the dates aren't cited in the infobox. Either the dates should be added in the main prose or just repeat the citations in the infobox. I would suggest the former. And of course the first one is self explanatory: expand the lead. Regards, TryKid ^{[dubious – discuss]} 06:04, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Keiji Nishioka

On 17 October 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Keiji Nishioka, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Keiji Nishioka, a Japanese botanist, was the first foreigner to receive the Bhutanese honorific Dasho? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Keiji Nishioka. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Keiji Nishioka), 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.

Your GA nomination of Dawa Dem

The article Dawa Dem you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Dawa Dem for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Jon698 -- Jon698 (talk) 01:02, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations on your first GA! I hope you keep contributing great things to Wikipedia in the coming days too. Regards, TryKid ^{[dubious – discuss]} 01:55, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not odd

Hi, Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI,

In this edit at French language, you said you thought it was "odd" that France wasn't linked; but actually, that's per the style guide; see MOS:OVERLINK. It's not a big deal, and it's fine to leave it that way now, but I thought you might like to know about the "#What generally should not be linked" section of the Style guide on links. Cheers, Mathglot (talk) 10:00, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your source. I am still learning, this will help. Regards, Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI ^{converse | fings wot i hav dun} 03:49, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Elements of Art

Hello i just got this message in my Notifs:

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Elements of art. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Specifically, changing American spellings to British, and vice versa, where such a change is not required according to the Manual, is strictly disallowed.

1. I did not deliberately edit this page in a 'unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand' way. Color is unusual as Colour is the correct spelling of this word. How is this this strictly disallowed when all i was trying to do was fix a spelling mistake on this page! Who gets to say the 'American English' is more right then the way it should be spelt?!? ChuckyDooDaa (talk) 04:39, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@ChuckyDooDaa: Hello! I did not actually mean to say that your edit was unusual or difficult to understand - the message I posted is a stock warning that is posted by a bot I use while reverting inappropriate edits.
Coming to the actual issue of spelling, Wikipedia's Manual of Style prohibits the changing of British spelling to American and vice-versa in situations like this, as dictated in the section MOS:RETAIN. You are correct in that there is no form of English 'more correct' than another; therefore, in these cases, whatever existing style is there must be retained as the MOS requires. I myself have no personal interest in ensuring the retention of American spelling, being as I am a user of British spelling myself. Kind regards, Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI ^{converse | fings wot i hav dun} 11:58, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI Thanks, sorry if that came out rude i was just kinda annoyed. I did some googling and a fair few pages say that America is the only country to primarily spell it 'color', and the rest of the English speaking world 'Colour'. Shouldnt this mean the majority of the spelling should be shown on Wikipedia, which is used all across the world, so it suits more people then just Americans? Thanks. ChuckyDooDaa (talk) 23:34, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@ChuckyDooDaa: It is true that US and Canada are unique in their spelling among English-speaking countries, but it is American English that is the dominant form of English globally, that is, including non-English speaking countries (save for India, maybe). This is an important point, as many non-English speakers also refer to the English Wikipedia, as it is the most reliable among all Wikipedias. Additionally, even among the Anglophone countries, Canada and the US account for a large proportion of the populace. I hope this answers your questions. Kind regards, Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI ^{converse | fings wot i hav dun} 06:01, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI Thanks that makes sense i guess, i hope in the future i will be able to help Wikipedia in more productive ways. Regards, ChuckyDooDaa — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChuckyDooDaa (talk • contribs) 04:07, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@ChuckyDooDaa: That's the spirit I wish everybody who makes edits here had! The bureaucracy and rules here might be frustrating to beginners, but as one stays on in the editing sphere, one realises just how important they are to preserve Wiki as an enyclopaedia. Unfortunately, as an unavoidable casualty, too many beginners are scared off by these rules; I am happy that you are not one of them. Happy editing! Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI ^{converse | fings wot i hav dun} 14:30, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI Another idea, Im guessing your not the head of Wikipedia, but i was thinking they should have seperate languages like: English(American) English(British) in the possible languages? Its hard to explain i hope you get what i mean. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChuckyDooDaa (talk • contribs) 22:13, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
