Aryanization in Slovakia

15:54, 4 January 2019‎ Buidhe talk contribs‎  112 bytes +112‎  ←Redirected page to The Holocaust in Slovakia#Aryanization

What do you think about the creation of a separate article? This section is among the largest in The Holocaust in Slovakia. Lembit Staan (talk) 20:10, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Lembit Staan, There's certainly a lot more to say about the topic in reliable sources, although you'd have to go digging (Kamenec's book goes into the most detail but isn't easy to find). However, I wouldn't advise splitting out without an expansion as I already pared down the section in the main article as much as I thought would benefit it. (t · c) buidhe 20:17, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Tornado Over Kansas FAC

Hello Buidhe, reviewer Gog the Mild recently warned me on the Tornado Over Kansas FAC nomination page that the nomination could be archived in the next day or two if no new attention is taken. Since you've already helped me in the page's image review, I was wondering whether you would be willing to help drop a review for the article to keep the nomination going?

DYK for Amna Suraka

On 18 June 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Amna Suraka, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Amna Suraka, "the world's most depressing museum", includes a hall of broken mirrors (pictured) with a shard for each victim of the Anfal genocide? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Amna Suraka. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Amna Suraka), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

An article needing some attention: Gestapo–NKVD conferences

As a long-term lurker of Wikipedia editions in various languages, I have noticed you are a prolific editor in the topics of antisemitism, World War II and persecutions. I similarly noticed you've also edited this article: Gestapo–NKVD conferences, that admittedly has sparked my interest a while ago. I've commented on several issues related to this article (Talk:Gestapo–NKVD_conferences#This_article_is_deficient,_based_on_unfounded_rumours), but unfortunately I didn't really gather that much feedback.

I was informed today that users with fewer than 500 edits are subjected to some restrictions, so I just wanted to make clear that I personally wanted to nominate said article for deletion but I am prohibited from doing so. I did however raise the issue and advocate for deletion on Russian Wikipedia a few hours ago (it's pretty obvious these poor quasi-hoax articles on various language editions all derive from the 2007 version of the English language Wikipedia). Cheers and happy editing and any comments on how to deal with the issue here or cross-wiki would be appreciated. Potugin (talk) 03:15, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

Potugin, I'm sorry you've run into editing restriction. I don't have time to look into this issue at the moment, but my advice would be to use the template {{edit extended-protected}} on the talk page. State that you'd like to nominate the article for deletion and give the rationale. If it's not protected, I would just go ahead and nominate for deletion directly, I don't see why this would fall under the topic area that is supposed to need it.

WP:BADNAC at Talk:Vesta (mythology)

Hi, I'd like you to please revert your non-admin closure at Talk:Vesta (mythology). With 10 "supports" and 5 "opposes", it's not a "no consensus" situation, and even if it is, an admin should be the one to weigh the opinions rather than a typical user given that it's clearly controversial. If it is not reverted, I will of course send it to Move Review. Thank you._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 00:18, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

LGBT-free zone

The sources show simple fact that there are no LGBT-free zones in Poland. Please tell me, why do you want to keep false article?--Cautious (talk) 20:59, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Step one is always: do you have sources for that claim? Can you prove that the article is incorrect by showing reliable sources? The Banner talk 21:16, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Of course. Source are already there TRZEBIESZOW, Poland (Reuters) - An activist has begun photographing members of Poland’s LGBT community next to a fake “LGBT-free zone” sign outside towns that passed motions rejecting what they call “LGBT ideology” or defending traditional family values. --Cautious (talk) 22:11, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Nice claim, but we need proof. So, come with independent, reliable sources that really prove your claim. The Banner talk 23:42, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Done. Anything shall I focus? Word fake remains. --Cautious (talk) 09:44, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Yes, on the content. I suggest particularly on: Miroslaw Szekalis, the mayor of Trzebieszow, where a motion to reject “LGBT ideology” was passed last year, defended the town’s decision. “Neither I, nor any of the council members ... have a reason to be ashamed,” he told Reuters. While the motions are largely symbolic, they can be intimidating for members of the LGBT community. Municipalities and regions that have rejected LGBT “ideology” cover nearly a third of the country..

Revolution of Dignity

I would like to request that you revert your move at Revolution of Dignity. In the first place, the title had been stable from November of last year. Therefore, WP:BRD applies. While I would like to revert your move per WP:BRD, you used the page mover tool in a way that has rendered this impossible (please see Wikipedia:Page mover#Conduct expectations). Please revert your move and file an RM request. RGloucester — ☎ 15:33, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

RGloucester, The move was originally moved by you, undiscussed. Shortly afterward, it was contested on the talk page. That would be the correct occasion to move the page back, as it was disputed, and open a formal RM. Since the move was disputed and consensus was never established for it, it can't be considered the stable version.

In order to be successful a move request would have to 1) explain why WP:POVTITLE doesn't apply, 2) delineate a specific scope according to reliable sources that doesn't overlap too much with other articles, and 3) show why your proposed name meets WP:CRITERIA better than alternative names. (t · c) buidhe 03:20, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

It was not truly disputed, for it were 1) it would've been moved back 2) requested to be moved at RM/TR or 3) an RM would've been opened. More importantly, the article remained stable long after that section was opened. Having been stable is itself a form of consensus. I once again ask that you revert your move in line with Wikipedia:Page mover#Conduct expectations. It is unacceptable to use the page mover right in such a manner, and more importantly, you have no standing to determine what would make an RM 'successful' (you are not a neutral party in what is now a 'dispute'). I suggest you remember your station, revert your move, and open an RM. RGloucester — ☎ 04:19, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Reverting undiscussed moves is acceptable regardless of the means used to do so. The fact that Heptor did not move the page or file at a certain venue, which they perhaps don't even know exists, does not negate the fact that they challenged the move. Nor does it imply that you had any consensus to take that action. I strongly suggest you file a RM to determine which page title has consensus. In the meantime, the stable title is 2014 Ukrainian revolution, which the article had for years without any challenge. (t · c) buidhe 04:27, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

This is not correct. Undiscussed moves are not inherently any less valid than discussed moves. Consensus can be established through editing. Indeed, if someone had immediately reverted the move, then one could say that you would be correct. This is not what happened. You are the one that has made the undiscussed move, away from the stable title of more than half a year, using the page mover tool to gain an upper hand in a dispute. Again, I suggest you consider your position. I would also suggest that you not speak on behalf of Heptor, an editor of an unsavoury type of that I reckon you'd rather not be associated with. RGloucester — ☎ 04:30, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

It's acceptable to use pagemover tools to revert undiscussed moves, something that comes up enough that it has a dedicated section on RM/TR. If it's acceptable to list something there and have someone else move it, logically it is acceptable to perform this move directly. Being at a certain title for some months does not inherently mean it is the stable title. Stable means it has consensus (or at least WP:Silence) and for this title, it never did.

I don't know anything about this editor but the key point is you are supposed to discuss controversial moves rather than make them unilaterally. Any undiscussed move may be reverted. (t · c) buidhe 04:39, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Yes, exactly. Your undiscussed move should be reverted, but unfortunately, your use of the page mover tool has made this impossible for me to carry out. Again, see Wikipedia:Page mover#Conduct expectations. Please revert your move now, and file an RM. RGloucester — ☎ 04:42, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

• User Buidhe, can you please explain why you continue to spread misinformation? Who exactly do you think you are? If you want to change the longstanding title of an article, and someone else objects, the correct thing to do is file an RM. For reasons I cannot understand, you are acting as if you have some kind of authority. You do not. And yet, you stand in the way of every normal procedure for requesting a revert to your malicious move. I kindly suggest you stop before this escalates any further. RGloucester — ☎ 13:10, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Image-related question

Hello. Apologies for this random message. I have a question about the following image (File:Foxybrowndior.jpg). Does everything seem okay with it and would it be appropriate to use in an article? I am uncertain as it is a promotional image of the artist and I have not really seen promotional images like this in WikiMedia commons. I am curious about this as I would like to have a FA about a song by this individual on the front page. That article is currently this image (File:Foxy brown-03-mika.jpg) and the one linked above is just more visually interesting in my opinion. However, I wanted to get a more well-informed opinion about this prior to do any substitutions. I am likely over-thinking this, but any insight would be greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful rest of your week! Aoba47 (talk) 02:11, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I don't have Buidhe's depth of expertise here, but what you want to do for a press photo like that is to confirm it's actually released under said license. A good way to do this is to get in contact with the copyright holders and ask them to send a license release to c:COM:OTRS. As it stands, images like this are often just uploaded by unconnected people who don't understand image copyright (the CC-BY-SA 4.0 license specifically can be suggestive of this, as it's the default license in the Commons upload wizard and a lot of people just assume "oh, that must be the way images on the internet are copyrighted" if they don't know anything about the topic.) Vaticidalprophet 02:37, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Aoba47, Nominated for deletion on Commons. Reverse image search with Google shows that the image has been floating around the internet for years, which increases the likelihood that the uploader is someone other than the actual copyright holder. I would also agree with what Vaticidalprophet said. (t · c) buidhe 03:13, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

• Thank you both for the responses. I am not good at images and I have had my own issues at the WikiMedia Commons area. I have seen this image before so I was quite surprised to see it on here. I will probably stay out of the deletion discussion as it is probably best to keep that discussion to editors who are more familiar with image policy, etc. Thank you again for the feedback! Aoba47 (talk) 16:33, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Dachau Report, once more...

Hi Buidhe, I got the impression that you have a talent to reduce complex issues/subjects to the understandable core (deletion as in "emphasis unusual for a military report" is not an option in the present case, though ;-). I ran into an issue while finalizing the article after User Yeeno's copy editing. The matter is broadly laid out here on his talk page. If you have time, I would appreciate if you could take part in that process. Maybe the solution is quite simple, I had in mind a new order of the sentences in the paragraphs in question, which might strongly improve understandability.

Easier way to see a page's move history?

Hello Buidhe. I asked this question at Wikipedia:Help desk but got no response, so I thought I'd ask you since you're active at WP:RM and have probably run into the same problem.

I've been using the move log tool, but it's cumbersome because you have to enter the former name of the page rather than the current name (so you have to dig through the page's history to find its original name), and it only shows one entry at a time. Is there anywhere I can see an article's entire move history in one place?

Let me know if you have any advice. Rublov (talk) 16:24, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Rublov, Unless the page is really popular you can easily see the move history by looking at the edit history of the talk page, ctrl-f "move" if necessary. (t · c) buidhe 16:26, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

The Holocaust in Greece

Hello:

I have just started the copy edit of The Holocaust in Greece you requested from the GOCE. A quick question. Is there a reason why the Background section uses bullet points? The text is actually in paragraphs, not the fragments normally associated with bullet points. I would convert these to paragraph form, myself. Twofingered Typist (talk) 13:39, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

The Holocaust in Greece

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article The Holocaust in Greece has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

I finished my c/e before you read the note above. As you have perhaps guessed, I would suggest you convert these "points" as they are into paragraphs. Best of luck with the FAC when you get to it.

Regards,

Twofingered Typist (talk) 19:16, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Twofingered Typist, Thanks so much for the copyedit! The reason I used bullet points is because of what it says in MOS:PARA: "Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheading; in such circumstances, it may be preferable to use bullet points instead." I think the background section would be too long if it were just paragraphs, but each of the bullet points is too short for its own section. (t · c) buidhe 19:22, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Okay, we'll agree to disagree. I believe three of the four "bullet points" are actually paragraphs. It'll be interesting to see what the FAC reviewer thinks. Cheers, Twofingered Typist (talk) 19:30, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Palestinian enclaves GAN

Hello Buidhe, I'm looking at reviewing the article, and wanted to check if review was still ok to do, given the active arbitration remedies described on the talk page. If I go for reviewing the article, do I just review it as normal? Regards, Amitchell125 (talk) 10:01, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Amitchell125, the arbitration remedies mostly apply if you physically edit the article. Making suggestions for nontrivial edits on the GAN page (which a reviewer should be doing anyway) wouldn't breach any sanction. It goes without saying that such a topic needs an especially careful evaluation if it is fairly representing all relevant points of view. Good luck. (t · c) buidhe 10:46, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Peer review on history topic

Hi Buidhe,

I'm currently looking to improve Presidential cabinets of the Weimar Republic for a potential FA candidacy. Knowing that you've done a lot of work on history topics relating to the interwar period and the Third Reich, I was wondering whether you could have look at the article and maybe give me some pointers as to how it could be improved on the peer review page I started. My only other FA was an unrelated biography and I thought it might be wise to ask someone with relevant experience. Of course, I'd be happy to help with any review projects you need help with.

GA review review?

Hi there! I noticed that you're on the Mentor list at Wikipedia:Good article help and was wondering if you could take a look at my first GA review, which I completed at Talk:GTA_West_Corridor/GA1, to make sure I'm doing things right. Thanks so much! — Mcguy15 (talk, contribs) 16:27, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Mcguy15, It looks like a solid and thorough GA review to me. (t · c) buidhe 00:00, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

July 2021

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Audrey Truschke. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. TrangaBellam (talk) 05:21, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

DYK for 1942 Eleftherias Square roundup

On 11 July 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 1942 Eleftherias Square roundup, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that 9,000 Greek Jews were targeted by the 1942 Eleftherias Square roundup (pictured), and those who collapsed were attacked by dogs? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/1942 Eleftherias Square roundup. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, 1942 Eleftherias Square roundup), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.
