Hello, I'm Mr.weedle. I noticed that in this edit to Amazon (company), you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mr.weedle (talk) 16:19, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The removal was explained, and I did use an edit summary. I think this was a mistake, as I don't think this rollback matches the WP:ROLLBACKUSE criteria. DFlhb (talk) 16:25, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I do see that my removal of "self-driving car" in the categories was mistaken; I hadn't seen Zoox. I think my other edits stand. DFlhb (talk) 18:21, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I just realized I forgot to notify you, and I don't know if automated edits to talk pages automatically subscribe you to replies. So here we go: User:Mr.weedle DFlhb (talk) 19:30, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand why you duplicated the history of the Mac 128k from the Macintosh page to that page. As a general rule, information should only be in one place on WP; other places should link to it. Now, it may well be the case that the information should be divided differently between the two pages, but literal duplication is never a good idea -- what if someone improves one copy but not the other, for example? --Macrakis (talk) 17:49, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I was about to remove the passage from the Macintosh article, where it doesn't belong (WP:DUE), and replace it with a WP:SUMMARY of everything I moved to Mac 128k. I was just in the process of writing that summary. Is it ok by you if I revert back? DFlhb (talk) 17:54, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Makes sense to me! --Macrakis (talk) 19:57, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Cool; done. DFlhb (talk) 20:07, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting your assistance on iPhone article

Hi, your work on the Macintosh article has been really amazing so far, and it has really been cleaned up and updated well! I have been trying to clean up the iPhone article for a while now, and I had separated a super lengthy "Hardware" section into its own article, iPhone hardware, which is also equally outdated. That article could even be cleaned up, shortened, and transferred back to the main iPhone article. Could I request your assistance in cleaning up these articles, as much as you can. Even a little bit of help is super appreciated, thank you in advance! Theknine2 (talk) 11:05, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi friend; I'd be happy to help with those; I likely won't have much time the rest of this week, but I'll start with a few sections, and take a deeper look at it when I have time. DFlhb (talk) 11:19, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much! Do take as much time as you need. Theknine2 (talk) 11:40, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Possible copyright issue

your edit Triggered a report in CopyPatrol, the tool used to identify potential copyright violations. The text does appear to be copied from .com/blog/mac-os-x-installer this site. However, your edit summary says "(merged Installer)". That might mean you are merging text from an existing Wikipedia article something that is not typically detected by Copy Patrol.

I do have a couple of issues.

I don't see an article called "installer", although searching for that article brings me to Installation (computer programs). My cursory glance didn't identify the text in that article.

If you are merging tax from one article into another one that's permitted, but we do have some rules on how that should be done. Please note the best practices wording as outlined at Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia?

If you were doing a merge using an existing Wikipedia article could you follow the guidelines on how to properly attribute it. (Let me know if you need more help on how to do that.) If the information did not come from an existing Wikipedia article and came from .com/blog/mac-os-x-installer this site, it looks to me like it's a copyright issue and should be reverted. S Philbrick(Talk) 13:20, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!
I merged Installer (macOS) into List_of_macOS_components#Installer. You're right that I should be more specific in attributing it in edit summaries, and usually I am. I incorrectly thought that article merges didn't require attribution, only duplication of content; I stand corrected, and I'll do that for the remaining merges.
Looking at Installer (macOS), it seems that the Wikipedia content predates the site you linked, so I don't believe there's a copyvio issue. DFlhb (talk) 13:26, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!

Thanks to your suggestions, the article is now complete. You can now check it out at Early iPhone Processors. SMBMovieFan (talk) 16:56, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just gave it a read. Nicely done! DFlhb (talk) 19:03, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I've made a few edits, feel free to review them or make further improvements. I've mostly replaced a few sources with better ones, and clarified the wording and added some detail.
And one comment: do make sure you stick to reliable sources as much as possible; TweakTown isn't used much on Wikipedia, and YouTube links should usually be avoided too. The good thing about Apple is that there's tons of commonly-seen-as-reliable blogs and news sites that cover most things.
Other than that, since I'm assuming this is your first article, nice job! DFlhb (talk) 19:39, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the Syrian Civil War and ISIL. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose discretionary sanctions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Good day Tamzin! Noted; thanks very much.
BTW, what do you think of changing the wording of {{DS/alert}} from You have shown interest in the Syrian Civil War and ISIL (I'm interested in neither; I just edited a BLP that had an NPOV notice) to You have made an edit to a page related to the Syrian Civil War and ISIL? I'm not suggesting you're solely in charge of that wording, naturally, just interested in your thoughts. DFlhb (talk) 14:24, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request for closure of RSN RfC of The Daily Dot

This is a courtesy note to notify you that the discussion Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#RFC_(The_Daily_Dot) has been closed following your request at WP:RFCLOSE. I've updated RSP and the NPP source guide accordingly. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 04:42, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus can change

You cite that in the Trump talk page. But it's been less than 3 weeks since the last time the Abraham Accords was rejected. That's not what Consensus can change is about. In case you didn't know that, I'm pointing it out here. That discussion should not be repeated. Frankly, that editor is fresh off a long insistent repetitious thread on another topic. One might just as well say consensus can change overnight. On everything. We'd never get any work done around here. Happy editing. SPECIFICO talk 20:07, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I thought the last discussion was in July? It may be a little early to discuss again, but that doesn't seem egregious. If it was indeed 3 weeks ago then I agree. DFlhb (talk) 20:21, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your reply. There are other articles for which it is clearly relevant, although the parts of it relating to Trump do not appear to describe it as a particularly significant accomplishment of him. SPECIFICO talk 20:51, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think you're fine. The last discussion on this was in fact in July, not 3 weeks ago; I'm not sure where that number came from. And that last discussion wasn't even closed officially in any capacity, so opening up that discussion again because you think a change should be made is fine. It's how Wikipedia works - boldly make changes, get reverted, discuss. PhotogenicScientist (talk) 21:35, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Apology

Hello, I apologize for my comment and want to clarify that I have not been tracking your edits. When reading your first response, I remembered you from our discussions at Talk:Andrew Tate, particularly that your comments were regularly on the longer side. While writing a response, I skimmed through your edit history to find an example. It goes without saying that this is quite a deplorable thing to do, and I realized this minutes after posting the comment. I appreciate the retraction. Sorry again and happy editing. Throast {{ping}} me! (talk | contribs) 20:07, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your kind words, and I'm myself sincerely sorry for how long my numerous comments were at the Tate talk page; that was my very first Wikipedia content "dispute" (I don't like that word much), and I don't think I went about it the right way. Similarly with the Cernovich talk page, I should have anticipated likely counterarguments and made my initial survey of sources more comprehensive (hatted of course), which would have allowed me to keep replies concise. Happy editing likewise. DFlhb (talk) 20:42, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"comparing WP:RS to election deniers"

how did I do that? soibangla (talk) 23:42, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User:Soibangla: Likely a misunderstanding: it seems you thought that when I said reliable sources define it as limiting an account's reach, that I meant Weiss; but I did mean WP:RS (who would be more objective than a former head of product whose company is being criticized). We can discuss any specifics on that talk page, but I'm simply wondering if this revert was merely intended to support the quote's inclusion, or if you also think it doesn't belong in Reactions? DFlhb (talk) 23:50, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Soibangla ping didn't work; just trying again in case you don't have the "Discussion tools" notifications beta enabled. DFlhb (talk) 23:54, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't compare WP:RS to election deniers soibangla (talk) 23:57, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Soibangla You compared "a journalist" to them, which I misunderstood as referring to the reliable sources I mentioned, rather than to Weiss, who I didn't bring up. I see this issue as a simple misunderstanding (on my side too), nothing more. DFlhb (talk) 00:12, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Andrew Tate article

Thank you for pointing out that MEMRI is not widely considered to be a reliable source, this was not something that I had previously been aware of. I've since found a more reliable source. In future, I'll make sure to consult this list: Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources Jono1011 (talk) 10:27, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Do also consider whether this constitutes due weight: I researched the comment, and it came from a 2018 video where he explicitly proclaimed he was an atheist, and criticized both Christians and Muslims as being either "an absolute hypocrite [by] ignoring your own book, or [a] fanatic psychopath"; a far more mainstream sentiment than what the edit suggested. I strongly doubt that any attempts to link this to his recent conversion (or to ISIS) would be either due or appropriate in his BLP; the article seemed more like sensationalism to me. DFlhb (talk) 10:44, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, it's helpful to see that these comments were made in 2018. If this content were to be included (and I can see a case for why it should not be included) I think it should be made clear that the comments were made in 2018. I also think it would be good to include a fuller quote. I've recently added this topic for discussion on Tate's talk page. Jono1011 (talk) 11:19, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, do you mind providing a source re: the video appearing in 2018, and at a time when Tate proclaimed he was an atheist. I've been struggling to track one down. Jono1011 (talk) 11:26, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy. It might help the RFC closer, if ya put your chosen option, at the top of your 'survey' entry. GoodDay (talk) 01:48, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I made my views on all options explicit. The RFC is enough of a mess that it's now better to be comprehensive than concise. DFlhb (talk) 06:26, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In that regard, there are still many participants in the discussion who have expressed views but have not recorded them as !votes in the Survey section. Whoever closes this is going to have a difficult task, but it's not our practice to weigh unrecorded !votes as if they expressed a defined preference for one of the alternatives. GoodDay, since you have taken the initiative to ping some of the participants, you would do WP as service by pinging the balance of participants over the past discussion, regardless of page section header.

Location

Yes, because the county (surrounding, which is called Ilfov) is large. Pipera is basically part of Bucharest, and belongs to a town which is suburbs. Moreover Pipera-Floreasca is alongside the Calea Victoriei, Magheru Bld and the Calea Dorobantilor, very expensive. It's where the new business center is being developed, full of office buildings. It's not the same to live in West Bronx, NYC or in Lower Manhattan. Well, he's not downtown but still. In a new area. .karellian-24 (talk) 20:03, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Topic Ban

Dear DFlhb,

I am currently topic-banned from “gender-related disputes” in culture wars, not sex-based/sexual violence. Thank you for reverting it though as I can see that you may have easily thought this.

Many thanks and no worries,

Scientelensia Scientelensia (talk) 20:57, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Scientelensia,
I remember seeing, on the article's talk page, sanctions notices for both the BLP and the "gender-related disputes" areas. But I can't find the latter anymore; either it got deleted, or I'm misremembering. Might be worth asking an admin, honestly? (For your sake, that is; so that you get it in writing that it's fine). Best, DFlhb (talk) 21:03, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Good plan. Scientelensia (talk) 21:03, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects

Hi DFlhb,

I noticed your edit on Rogue. Please note that redirects are WP:NOTBROKEN, there's no need to change it. I won't revert your edit, since we don't need another revision without any actual changes, but in the future, you know you can just leave them as they are. Kind regards, and happy editing. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 13:02, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I'm aware of NOTBROKEN; the reason behind skipping these redirects is that when I check the {{annual readership}} for Mac (computer), it's roughly 20% lower than Macintosh; the drop occured abruptly after the article move. When I type "Mac" in the search box, Mac (computer) used to not even show up; now it's the 10th suggested result. I'm hoping that directly linking to the article will bump it up in the list. I don't believe this is an {{R with possibilities}}, so it seems fine to replace. Do let me know whether you agree or disagree with this reasoning. Best, DFlhb (talk) 13:14, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's not that I disagree, but why would you like to see its position be bumped up? Or are you saying that "Mac" is a better shorthand for the line of computers instead of Macintosh? soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 15:40, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm saying that when people typed "Mac", the correct page now ranks much lower than it used to, before the Oct '22 move. The search algorithm doesn't take into account redirects, and since everything linked to Macintosh, after the move, Mac (computer) incorrectly had no weight in the search rankings. DFlhb (talk) 15:48, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, now I see your point. Makes sense! soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 16:16, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: History of the Macintosh

Hello DFlhb, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of History of the Macintosh, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Substantial content added by other users; G7 does not apply. I also don't understand the expanded rationale. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:21, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your second edit was what I should have done. I also didn't know that an article entirely copied from another page, with no substantial edits by others afterwards, was ineligible for G7. Thanks DFlhb (talk) 16:40, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

proposal to revise text on writing code

Please see Wikipedia talk:Large language models#writing code for my comments regarding revising the text on LLMs writing code. isaacl (talk) 16:52, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the link, I had missed that. I'll take a look. DFlhb (talk) 16:54, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Brainstorming

I just recently found a website (https://elicit.org) that allows you to search a lot of research papers that unlike Google Scholar can answer your queries directly. For example, if you type in "What is the impact of creatine on cognition?", it would spits out a very short summary from the paper's abstract. I think you might found the website useful.

Looks very useful. I'll check it out, thanks! DFlhb (talk) 16:31, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

vital articles

Thank you for improving the quality of vital articles such as Land and Coffee and Technology, for going for GA for Mac (computer), for adding images such as File:Apple Rhapsody screenshot.png, for "groundbreaking infoboxes" on a "clean & nice" user page , - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Your GA nomination of Jeff Robbin

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Jeff Robbin 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 ChristieBot, on behalf of David Eppstein -- David Eppstein (talk) 07:41, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Jeff Robbin

The article Jeff Robbin you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Jeff Robbin for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

Hello DFlhb,

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence. Please add your evidence by April 04, 2023, which is when the first evidence phase closes. Submitted evidence will be summarized by Arbitrators and Clerks at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence/Summary. Owing to the summary style, editors are encouraged to submit evidence in small chunks sooner rather than more complete evidence later.

Details about the summary page, the two phases of evidence, a timeline and other answers to frequently asked questions can be found at the case's FAQ page.

For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.

For the Arbitration Committee,

WP:ANI

Thanks for the helpful information and good editing, I wanted to say that I saw that you had compiled a list of complaints regarding PoliticalPoint, and AEagleLionThing pointed out that you may want to open up a new section for them. I do not know what is necessary but it definitely seems like they were throwing wild accusations at me and mass pinging other editors to join in on their side, which does not sound like something beneficial to the Wiki. If you think they undertook rule violating behaviors then I suggest you warn them or report them to ANI if you have already done so previously. Bill Williams 22:50, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks and likewise. See Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#User:PoliticalPoint; I hadn't planned on submitting anything, but since both you and Dronebogus have suggested sanctions may be appropriate, I'll just present my diffs and let the community decide. DFlhb (talk) 00:17, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thank you for contributing to the indictment of Donald Trump article and sharing your opinion on the sources, DFIhb. Even though I would prefer the former prosecutor's opinion to be retained, this seems the best what can we get. Also, it is great to see someone who loves to read FT. You have a taste for newspapers ;) . Thanks again and best wishes. 95.12.127.137 (talk) 19:21, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
