Witchcraft

Why did you move Sinatra's Witchcraft? It's certainly the primary topic for Witchcraft (song). I admire all you other hard work, btw :) Gareth E Kegg (talk) 20:05, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If a page needs a disambiguator it should be totally unambiguous per WP:PDAB. As there are other articles about songs called "Witchcraft" I moved it to an unambiguous title. Thanks. Tassedethe (talk) 20:09, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think that page is itself ambiguous. Do you not take any external validation into account like internal links or Google hits? Your recent move of "That's All" showed a similar lack of foresight. So many jazz standards have albums and songs named after them, that is why they should serve as the primary topic. They shouldn't be ranked alongside non notable songs as equal. The recent discussion on "The Best Is Yet to Come" could provide a guide [1] Gareth E Kegg (talk) 22:16, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The Genesis song That's All (Genesis song) is hardly non-notable. In fact it is gets more hits than the "standard", ~9000 versus ~5100 over the last 3 months. Just because something is named after another thing doesn't make the first thing the primary topic. Compare Boston and Boston, Lincolnshire. Tassedethe (talk) 22:26, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to be a nag. What was your rationale for moving "Come Fly with Me?" Best wishes. Gareth E Kegg (talk) 18:05, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Very much like the other moves. We have two articles on songs Come Fly with Me (song) and Come Fly with Me (Foxy Brown song). Disambiguating with just (song) isn't enough, it is still ambiguous. It's obvious that the first is much more notable so in line with the move of Thriller (album) to Thriller (Michael Jackson album) I haven't redirected Come Fly with Me (song) back to Come Fly with Me but left it redirecting to Come Fly with Me (1957 song). Unlike the song "Witchcraft" I think there might be a case for moving the song to Come Fly with Me as it could be regarded as the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.

Yeah the article itself is confused about whether it's a song (single) or EP. I'd say 3 songs isn't an EP. Tassedethe (talk) 15:13, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Insert name here" novel

I see you have moved countless articles about books to "Title ("insert last name of author here" novel). I haven't encounted this form of article naming before, and in none of the instances I've got on my watch list is there any competing articles with similarly named novels which could be confused by the current existing one. To cut a long story short, are you sure this spate of renamings which includes the authors name was necessary? --Saddhiyama (talk) 00:08, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

All the page moves of articles ending (novel) to (Author1 novel) have occurred as there is another article ending (Author2 novel) (sometimes (year novel)). If you have an example where this is not the case please let me know. Tassedethe (talk) 00:18, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Questioning edits to Larry Miller

I'm not quite sure of the logic behind the changes in [/w/index.php?title=Larry_Miller&diff=567160102&oldid=567101589 this revision].

There are three:

  1. Adding the final comma in "Larry H. Miller (1944–2009), American businessman, owner of the Utah Jazz, 1985–2009". Er... I don't think that comma should be there. Since it's an abbreviation of "owner of the Utah Jazz from 1985–2009", which doesn't take a comma, I think it's more readable without.
  2. Changing "Laurence "Larry" Miller (guitarist)" to "Larry Miller (guitarist)". This reverted my change to the former, which I thought was more informative without being overly verbose. I'm willing to be enlightened; can you explain why one form is preferred?
  3. Changing a hyphen to a dash in a comment. Yup, that's an improvement. I was lazy in the comment.

71.41.210.146 (talk) 12:23, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

1. I like the comma, it clarifies that the entity is the "Utah Jazz" not the "Utah Jazz 1985–2009", cf BSC Kickers 1900 etc. However I'm not going to demand it remain. 2. The MOS (WP:MOSDAB#Piping and redirects) clearly states, "...piping or redirects should not be used in disambiguation pages". There are some exceptions but this wasn't one of them. 3. Great! Thanks for your comments. Happy editing. Tassedethe (talk) 13:02, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
1. Huh. To me, the comma makes it part of the list, as in
  • American businessman
  • owner of the Utah Jazz
  • 1985–2009
which is hard to understand. If you like the comma, maybe change the preceding one to a semicolon? I'm tempted to put it in parentheses, but I worry about the similarity to birth/death years.
2. Um, if I want to get legalistic, it also says "Articles only listing persons with a certain given name or surname, known as anthroponymy articles, are not disambiguation pages, and this Manual of Style does not apply to them."
However, I don't want to get legalistic, I want to follow the spirit. The section you quoted says, in full,

Subject to certain exceptions as listed below, piping or redirects should not be used in disambiguation pages. This is to make it clear to the reader which article is being suggested, so that the reader remains in control of the choice of article. For example, in the Moment disambiguation page, with the entry for Moment (physics), " (physics)" should be visible to the reader. In many cases, what would be hidden by a pipe is exactly what the user would need in order to find the intended article.

They're arguing against using piping to abbreviate the link name. The persistent theme is against surprising the reader or concealing information. I don't think expanding it is a problem. If you look at the WP:MOSDAB#Where_piping_may_be_appropriate section, you'll see a number of examples on the general theme of "render more accurately than the article title", which is what I was trying to do. I agree none of the examples apply to what I was doing, but I think it's in the same spirit. Do you disagree?
71.41.210.146 (talk) 13:42, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, piping is allowed for certain reasons, expanding isn't one of them. Hiding or expanding gives a false impression to the reader. Plus, this isn't anthroponymy page as it doesn't list people with a certain given name or surname. Larry (given name) with Larry Miller, Larry Smith etc. is an anthroponymy page.

Policy for changing "from" Upper Case to lower case

The sources that I've seen referring to the book The Last Train From Hiroshima show the word "From" in Upper Case. See this source in The New York Times and this one in The Washington Post for examples. Can you refer me to any policy that requires that the word "from" in a title be in lower case or provide what evidence you used to determine that the title of the article should be changed? If there is a policy requiring this change, can I strongly suggest that you reference it specifically in the edit summary of your moves? Alansohn (talk) 20:18, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

September 2013

Hello I noticed that you had added a category to my article Marc Y Chenevert. I have been targeted by another editor that first didnt like how the copyright on my photos of the article was verified. I addressed that and they have been corrected and then he added a do not move banner to them for a watermark. Once that was all corrected he has now moved on to my article and has decided that I have some connection with the subject and when I addressed that he then added a number or tags and decided that if there were no discussion on the subject that that he would nominate the article for deletion. I think this would be a terrible loss as the subject person is very notable. Would you mind to join in on this discussion and see what you think about the issues that he LGA has brought up? Thanks so much. Mmb777e (talk) 12:56, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Incomplete matches

   Sorry for my out-of-date insistence that putting them under "See also" sufficed, and thanks for managing to bring me up to date flame-lessly. I had been annoyed by (but grudgingly tolerated) what i think i recall as all-titles-beginning links under "See also", and perhaps i just missed the transition to the actually effective "intitle" searches which (with the aid of redirects-to-section or -anchor) i can see provide a far better solution to the "persistent boils" in the See-also sections. Cheers.

BLP PROD removed

What is the procedure when a BLP PROD was removed (again) without providing sources, but it was not noticed for several months after the BLP PROD would had processed the deleteion? [3] ?-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 16:15, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not exactly sure but I think if you found such an article then you could add BLP PROD and the 10 day count would restart. I don't think it qualifies for any sort of speedy deletion. In this case it was a valid removal, AFAIK IMDB is an acceptable source for these purposes (i.e it is not Facebook/Twitter etc). However it's certainly not good enough for AfD.

Question

Hello. I have a question about tennis. For example infobox of this article. What's mean of 32S / 24Q / 16D  ? It s mean of 32seeds / 24Qualification /16 ? . Sorry for my bad english. Can you help me? Beyazmavi (talk) 18:47, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry I don't know much about tennis and I do not know the meaning of 32S / 24Q / 16D. Perhaps if you ask at WikiProject Tennis or at the reference desk someone there is more likely to know the answer. Good luck. Tassedethe (talk) 18:53, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation pages

Hi Tassedthe,

As I understand it, if there are two people with the same name, the more famous person takes precedence for the main name article. I tried to do this with Christopher Shannon for the fashion designer but for some reason - I don't remember what it was - trying to make the page wouldn't take. Almost the hits on Wikipedia that linked to Christopher Shannon were in reference to the current designer, while the main page was for the aviator, who was only linked from two subject-specific pages and was unlikely to be linked to from many other articles. For some reason, all I could do was turn the page into a redirect to the main C Shannon article. Anyway, it strikes me that rather than a disambiguation page for two people, the page Christopher Shannon would be better off with the fashion designer's page transferred over to it, and a hatnote for the aviator article. The only reasoning I've seen for a disambiguation page with only two entries is if both entries are equally famous or equally likely to be search terms, which I don't think applies in this instance. However, rather than undo your dab page, I thought I'd check with you first to see if the rules had changed or there was a compelling reason for a two-entry dab in this instance.

Category renaming

Hi- could you point to the policy that justifies the renaming of "John Smith albums" to "John Smith (singer) albums"? It looks ugly and unnecessary to me, but if there is a guideline/policy which proscribes it, I'm happy to let it drop. J Milburn (talk) 15:00, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well I've had a look round and I can't find it specifically written down. Convention has been to match Category titles to Article titles, and this has lead to it becoming a Speedy criteria: D. A rename to facilitate concordance between a particular category's name and a related article's name. The rename discussion for Tool is typical of the consensus. Tassedethe (talk) 15:19, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If I may weigh in... criterion C2.B, which includes "disambiguation fixes from an unqualified name", is most relevant, in my opinion. -- Black Falcon (talk) 22:45, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

question about category removal

Hi, I saw that you removed Category:Denis Diderot and Category:Encyclopedism from Urena lobata. Presuming it wasn't because of perceived irrelevance, as could be imagined, I'm hoping you can tell me why you removed them (and inquisitive "why?" rather than a defensive "why!"). I can't say I have much experience with categories beyond the basics and those two seem quit appropriate for the page. Is it because they're redlinks? Because they were one-item categories? Thanks. --— Rhododendrites talk |  23:15, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your question. The first thing is that they are redlinks i.e. those categories have not been created. Secondly the category system is meant to group articles together with a common theme. In general this means that usually there must be several articles on a subject before a category is necessary. (One item categories can be created if they fall within a established scheme e.g. Category:22 births.) For people it's rare for them to have an entire category to themselves. E.g. there is Category:William Shakespeare but not Category:Daniel Defoe, although there is Category:Works by Daniel Defoe. So for Denis Diderot there is Category:Novels by Denis Diderot and Category:Plays by Denis Diderot. Even if there was Category:Denis Diderot I don't think it would be appropriate to categorize the plant in that way. Diderot wrote about the plant but that is the extent of the connection. For comparison, you wouldn't categorize Elsinore or Verona with Category:William Shakespeare although obviously they have a strong connection to the work of Shakespeare. I hope that's clear. Tassedethe (talk) 23:35, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I guess my inclination is to err on the side of more categories. I.e. I wouldn't object to Verona being included in the Shakespeare category so long as it didn't necessitate removal from more directly related categories. If the category became cluttered I'd probably just fork a "Shakespearean geography," "cities in shakespeare," or some better worded but similar idea. I guess so long as it's relevant, not redundant, and not purely rhetorical (like including Scientology in Category:Hogwash) then I don't have a big problem with it. But that's speaking out of ignorance of category policies.
The reason I included the Diderot category to begin with isn't just because he wrote about it, which he barely did. It's an article in the Encyclopedie that's kind of a non-article. It's a commentary about the production of encyclopedias and their audience (directly). Certainly not a novel or play, and not really fit for a Category:Works by Denis Diderot either (another example whose absence boggles my mind). As such Encyclopedism seems an appropriate category, too (perhaps more so). But you're saying it's no good to just add something to a category? That someone categorizing an article also has to create the category page and ensure there are other pages with the same category (otherwise don't add it)? --— Rhododendrites talk |  23:54, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Certainly the role of categories is debatable - and your view of more categories is perfectly reasonable (and I think shared by many others). Although as an aside Category:Places associated with William Shakespeare was created but deleted after a discussion.
It's actually fairly easy to create a new category (much easier than articles), all it needs is the addition of a category of its own. E.g Category:Encyclopedism probably would have Category:Encyclopedias. As with all things Wikipedia there no need to add more articles, but single article categories are more likely to get merged or deleted. You can add redlink categories, again it's Wikipedia, nobody has to follow through with category creation and population. I won't remove ones that I think seem reasonable or I know fit in with an existing scheme, but as you found I did disagree with the two you added. (It was only the fact they were red that drew me to them.) Tassedethe (talk) 00:20, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ok thanks. I've readded the encyclopedism cat, created that category page, and added a couple other pages to it. Hopefully that should do the trick. --— Rhododendrites talk |  07:59, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Move request on Thomas Keightley (historian)

You are encouraged to participate in the discussion underway at Talk:Thomas Keightley (historian) to rename Thomas Keightley (historian)→Thomas Keightley. As the editor responsible for moving the name the other way around in the first place, I would like to hear your rationale for doing so. Since your reverted my actions recently to stopgap fix this, I assume you have some reason for wanting to keep this label. However, as far as I can determine, WP:PRIMARYTOPIC appear to be easily met, and I do not seriously believe anyone who has actually .

I have given my own rationale for wanting this move, and it is not anything personal, to undermine what you do, etc. I have laid out the reasons in full on the article talk page, but for one, "Thomas Keightley (historian)" would seem to be a misleading label to many nowadays who recognize him as mythology/folklore writer primarily. As another practical reason, which is self-evident if you put yourself in the shoe of people whose are mainly concentrating on writing the substance of the article, is that they can do without the extra distraction of having to seek out or type out this extraneous "(historian)" when they add a link to this author.--Kiyoweap (talk) 13:57, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wow Two People Now

I thought one was enough, but apparently two people can't do some simple research.

How about before deleting content, you do some research first. Research which would have taken about 10 seconds. Jinx is in fact a champion in the popular MOBA Game League of Legends.

As evidenced by this:

Do your research next time. I've heard that people on Wikipedia delete content without doing any research. Now I see that I'm right. It took me longer to type up the information, then look at the websites.
