Lovely Easter

Lovely Easter |
happy Easter! an unusually early and dreary (weather-wise) holiday, and the Orthodox celebrate it over a month after the West does... although next year they will be on the same day. a good omen for 2025, perhaps ... sawyer * he/they * talk 00:39, 1 April 2024 (UTC) |
- And a lovely Easter to you, Sawyer-mcdonell! If memory serves, the last time there was an Easter alignment between Rome and the Eastern Orthodox was 2014 (I only remember because there was a service commemorating the victims of the Ludlow Massacre that year). I am hopeful for graces in the year to come! ~ Pbritti (talk) 01:40, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

U.S. states & landlocked status
Hello, I noticed that you reverted my edits regarding the landlocked status of Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico in their respective articles. Thanks for assuming good faith and acknowledging relevance, but mentioning the landlocked status is important for geography. I’d like to say that the other state articles I edited to include the landlocked status in the lead still have those edits, meaning they were relevant and appropriate. As these states are indeed landlocked, I request that you reconsider your reverts. If you have any questions feel free to ask, thanks! DirtySocks357(WreckItRalph) (talk) 00:26, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- @DirtySocks357(WreckItRalph): Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! I appreciate your very polite reply. The best course of action here is to consider the importance of reference to the states' landlocked status in the lead. Since Wikipedia relies on other sources, we generally turn to other encyclopedias for examples of what information is crucial for inclusion. For example, Britannica has an article on Colorado. Their article, including the geography section, neglects mention of the state's landlocked status. This is a strong indication that reference to the landlocked status of the state is not encyclopedically relevant. Regardless of relevance, references are necessary, per Wikipedia's verifiability policy. Your edits did not include references, so reversion was highly likely. If you have outstanding questions or points you'd like to add, please feel more than welcome to place them here on my talk page. Again, welcome to Wikipedia! ~ Pbritti (talk) 00:51, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, and it’s true that relevancy is important. Otherwise, many articles would contain information which a reader would not find useful! I actually do have some points I’d like to share. First, You don’t need to cite that the sky is blue. Although there are disagreements regarding the application of non-essays and guidelines, this particular one is very useful, reminding me that I don’t need sources for such information. Also, Wikipedia can be different. Yes, we most definetly seek other sources of information, but the great thing about Wikipedia is that any relevant information can and should be shared. Here, landlocked states need their status so that readers understand the impact geography has on the economy of the states. Consistency is another thing; it would only be appropriate if a balance of geographic status is spread throughout each article. Thank you for being very helpful to my case, and please reach out! DirtySocks357(WreckItRalph) (talk) 13:38, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- @DirtySocks357(WreckItRalph): Thank you for continuing your kind disagreement. Since you seem fairly committed to a reasoned defense of these additions and appear to understand all the relevant policies and guidelines involved, I'll encourage you to restore the "landlocked" bit and see if any other editors disagree. I am of the opinion you will become a very strong editor. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 13:53, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

I added the politician's criminal history. Two citations were added - one from the arresting police department's own website (Chicago Police Department), and another from a major NY newspaper which also references the arrest. The primary source, the Chicago Police Department's own website is enough of a source. Drdas007 (talk) 13:50, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Drdas007: Wikipedia has strict policies about what sources may be used on to reference information on biographies of living persons. These rules are even stricter when it pertains to possibly criminal information. Arrest records from police departments are considered primary sources and thus insufficient for introducing information (though they could be used to amplify information if used appropriately). The newspaper you reference is explicitly not a reliable source, per this consensus. ~ Pbritti (talk) 13:56, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- The police department's arrest record is a primary source
- A primary source is one "that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge."
- No interpretation was made. A simple stating of fact with a primary source.
- Thank you for the information on the NY Post. I will refrain from using that newspaper in the future, ESPECIALLY as a primary source! That link was very helpful. Drdas007 (talk) 14:05, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Drdas007: Arrest records are not permitted per WP:BLPPRIMARY. You must self-revert and seek a new reference if you wish to include that information. ~ Pbritti (talk) 14:08, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- I do not see where it states "arrest records are not permitted". Drdas007 (talk) 14:09, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Request on 05:18:50, 7 April 2024 for assistance on AfC submission by TaiXuan91
The reasons for rejection are ridiculous. GNU Moe is a software. I quoted GNU Moe's official website in reference. There are detailed software documents and source code download addresses on its official website. I don't know what is more reliable source than the official website for a software.
TaiXuan91 (talk) 05:18, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
- @TaiXuan91: Wikipedia requires reliable sources for determining both the notability and factuality of a subject. In this case, a source like an official website could be used to amplify information from other sources. However, as an official website is not an independent source, it is not as reliable or ideal. Additionally, notability is (generally) not established without independent sourcing. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 05:40, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

A thank you and a question
First and foremost, thank you so much for the exceptionally kind barnstar you left on my page; it's my first one and it really means a lot you took the time to give me one!
Next, I have a question about the changes you make from Roman Catholic to Catholic. I'm an Eastern Catholic so I share your frustration with the conflation of the two, but on Fr. Loew's page, I thought "Roman" would be most appropriate. In general, I've considered anything shared by the universal church as "Catholic" (in simplex), but people and anything particular to the sui iuris churches as not necessitating the change (e.g., Roman Catholics believe in transubstantiation vs. Joe Smith is a Roman Catholic). This is completely from my head, but since you're the only other person I've seen try to correct it, do you have a convention or rule of thumb that you use on pages? I'd like to be helpful in this regard and you seem like an editor who knows what he's doing, so I thought I might pick your brain. ThaesOfereode (talk) 12:22, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- @ThaesOfereode: Generally speaking, Roman is only used on Wikipedia to disambiguate in contexts when Catholic could reasonably be misinterpreted as referring to Independent Catholic, Liberal Catholic, Old Catholic, or Anglo-Catholic. Otherwise, it's a term that lends itself to conflation ("do they mean the Catholic Church as a whole or just the Latin Church). Great article, again! Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 15:12, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the explanation; I'll keep it in mind when I'm poking around pages. Happy editing and thanks again! ThaesOfereode (talk) 12:16, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

FTN policy violations
You said on the WikiProject Catholicism talk page that a lot of WP:FTN regulars are violating policy. I am not well-versed on policy when it comes to religion, but I am when it comes to politics and medicine. I agree with you that many of them are violating policies. Massacre of the Innocents was a fairly easy one though (WP:OR). Could you give me some more examples so that I can form coherent arguments should I ever have to give my opinion on this? Scorpions1325 (talk) 00:24, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- Massacre of the Innocents is the flashpoint I'm most familiar with, but there was a lot of headhunting associated with Latter-Day Saints articles recently following the BYU E-I-R fiasco. When I was doing some editing in scriptural articles, I cited a CUP book that I ended up making an article for. Citing it to describe an academically acceptable but marginal opinion (it's a toned-down version of the Mythological Jesus argument) resulted in accusations of promoting fringe theories. I haven't kept a running list, but if you're interested in more details, I can send you some stuff via the email feature. ~ Pbritti (talk) 01:51, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:
- Proposals 2 and 9b (phase II discussion): Add a reminder of civility norms at RfA and Require links for claims of specific policy violations
- Proposal 3b (in trial): Make the first two days discussion-only
- Proposal 13 (in trial): Admin elections
- Proposal 14 (implemented): Suffrage requirements
- Proposals 16 and 16c (phase II discussion): Allow the community to initiate recall RfAs and Community recall process based on dewiki
- Proposal 17 (phase II discussion): Have named Admins/crats to monitor infractions
- Proposal 24 (phase II discussion): Provide better mentoring for becoming an admin and the RfA process
- Proposal 25 (implemented): Require nominees to be extended confirmed
See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
Triple barnstar for you!
Triple Barnstar | |
Thank you for your attentiveness, diligence, patience and sacrificing time for this verbose article instead of for your own GAN. The Catholic Barnstar, for the faith. The Special Barnstar, for your special attention to a little-studied field. The Barnstar of Diligence, for your indispensable efforts in leading the article all the way to GA status. Uriel1022 (talk) 18:50, 6 May 2024 (UTC) |
- @Uriel1022: Thank you! And thank you again for making what was a more drawn-out process than I intended something that I ended up actually enjoying. You're a good editor and and a kind person. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:32, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
Assistance on Aquilegia sibirica
No idea if it would jog your elbow, but would it be helpful for your GA work on Aquilegia sibirica for me to make a table for the taxonomic synonyms with dates like I did for Tetraneuris acaulis? Obviously it would be simpler one since no subspecies or varieties for the article you're working on. Or anything else you'd care to have some assistance with. I'm pretty excellent at finding interesting references in archive.org and at finding good CC0 or CC-BY photos. I don't know if it interferes with going for GA, but I'd view it as being in a supporting role. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 03:15, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- @MtBotany: This would be absolutely appreciated! It would be a benefit to the GA process (and, even if weren't, it would be good for the article and Wikipedia more generally). Anything I can do to assist you in this effort, let me know! Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:20, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

I am here to beg you to come back and review either or both the High or Late Middle Ages sections of H of C. Airshipjungleman had said he would help, but he did the early MA section then bailed. He said the organization was confusing, but could not further explain, so I am now confused. If you are unable, can you think of someone else who might be willing? These sections have not been reviewed since being redone. Please help! Jenhawk777 (talk) 19:05, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Jenhawk777: Expect a review of both sections tomorrow UTC! I'll gladly help! ~ Pbritti (talk) 21:28, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Bless you! Thank you. Jenhawk777 (talk) 03:00, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for excellent cooperation on A. Sibirica
You know what I'd like to do one day? Try to bring the article on the genus Aquilegia to GA status as well. Let me know if you'd be interested, maybe we could make a collective effort in strengthening it. For the time being I'm busy with some other stuff, like writing about obscure book-collecting French admirals, but if you're interested we could perhaps make an attempt later. Kind regards, Yakikaki (talk) 14:18, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of Aquilegia sibirica
The article Aquilegia sibirica you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Aquilegia sibirica for comments about the article, and Talk:Aquilegia sibirica/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article is eligible to appear in the "Did you know" section of the Main Page, you can nominate it within the next seven days.

Question
- @Pbritti
- (The below message was previously on the other page.)
- Hello,
- I am not necessarily disagreeing with you about the "point of view," but what specifically in what I wrote violated the neutrality rule? I thought that the additional information balanced the seemingly implied message that the SBC is in serious decline by showing that it may be (this is of course, my own opinion) "trimming the fat," so to speak, considering the increased participation and addition of entirely new members. I think that the added information allows readers to form their own conclusion based on the data; be it one of overall growth, decline or balance, depending on their own interpretation of same.
- Additionally, I always try to include the disclosure because of the issue with my "username." It had originally mentioned a connection to a rabbit breeders organization that I happen to be a member of, whose page I had edited. I was told that this seemed as if I was representing said organization and was advised to disclose any connection in the future. I am glad to know that that I may do so on my own "user page." Often the disclosure takes a significant amount of space in the small "edit summary" boxes. Thank you for directing me to the example. I do not at present have a page to place one as I have not yet created a "user page," but I will have to give it a try. Thank you again,
- TanRabbitry (talk) 05:31, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry for the late response, @TanRabbitry: it looks like you tried discussing this further on your talk page–I'm terribly sorry! Thanks for starting discussion here, and perhaps the article talk page will be the better venue in the future. Addressing your comments by paragraph:
- There's the implication that the SBC is somehow "on the mend", so to speak, with how the material is presented in your preferred phrasing. I'm inclined to agree with the other editor who edited that passage in terms of phrasing, but I am willing to accept your version if you're insistent. It is reliably sourced, after all.
- Yeah, disclosures are a difficult thing to get right and you've made a commendable effort at being very forthcoming about your own persuasions and affiliations. I encourage you to review WP:COI if you have the time. If you need any help setting up a user page, I'd love to help!
- Thanks for being an amazingly patient editor and, again, apologies for not replying earlier! ~ Pbritti (talk) 19:21, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Pbritti
- Not at all! I didn't expect an immediate response, I just wanted to make sure that you saw it. Thank you for answering so many questions. I haven't looked at that section in a few days. I'll review it again. Maybe there is a better possible phrasing between the two previously utilized. Thank you,
- TanRabbitry (talk) 21:39, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
- @TanRabbitry: I noticed that you didn't know what "ce" means in an edit summary. It almost always means "copy edit" and refers to generally minor grammatical, spelling, or terminology changes. There are some additional pieces of technical jargon that may pop up in edit summaries you'll see. I recommend glossing over this glossary of Wikipedia terms to get acquainted with a few. ~ Pbritti (talk) 14:08, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Pbritti O.K. Thank you. I had seen the term before, but I thought it referred to something else. TanRabbitry (talk) 21:43, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Comment about the ANI
Thank you for filing your recent ANI. I think the other editor was over the line but I was generally content that they were told they had crossed it. That they continued to cross the line after the warning was clearly an issue. I did want to point out that in their request to lift the sanction they are claiming you didn't notify them. Per [1] that appears to be incorrect. Happy editing! Springee (talk) 02:58, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

- I just added a newer image of Mar Raphael. The image doesn't even have an owner. It is used by everyone in our archdiocese. What wrong with you. I added the name of the bishop in Syriac according to the tradition of our church. You deleted that, WHY KnowledgeHunter6788 (talk) 17:16, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Because the image, unless released into the public domain, does have an owner. Please do not curse on my talk page. ~ Pbritti (talk) 17:19, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
KnowledgeHunter6788 (talk) 17:27, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- It has been released to the public, and also i have fixed the previous copyright issues. KnowledgeHunter6788 (talk) 17:29, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Also the new image features the proper regalia of the major archbishop. The other image was taken when he was the auxiliary bishop of Thrissur. KnowledgeHunter6788 (talk) 17:31, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- @KnowledgeHunter6788: What evidence do you have that it was released into the public domain? ~ Pbritti (talk) 17:33, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Photo taken by Father Nelson MCBS, you can check out it in his website. KnowledgeHunter6788 (talk) 17:34, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- @KnowledgeHunter6788: That means he owns the image. If he owns the image's copyright, you need him to release it into the public domain or under a Creative Commons license for it to be uploaded here. ~ Pbritti (talk) 17:36, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, I will tell him. If i upload the image again, there will not be any copyright issues. The point here is the current image on the page has no significance now. I don't understand why you are so upset in the upload of the new image with proper regalia, which is used by everyone here including news. The new image i uploaded was of current significance. KnowledgeHunter6788 (talk) 17:49, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- The new image is on commons. KnowledgeHunter6788 (talk) 18:00, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

- Namichu myre ninne🙏🏼, enthelum kaanikk ninte ammaykk sthreedhanam kittiya vakayalle Wikipedia. Please just try to upload proper images or allow someone to upload proper images instead of putting incorrect image because of technicality, better images of the archbishop is available, search and please upload it yourself.
