Thank you!

Thank you so much. I promise not to make a habit of making such requests except in such rare occasions and subjects of preeminent distinction.

Food desert

I undid your undo on the Food desert page -- I had typed in the wrong wikilink the reference is now on. That is corrected to Food choice of older adults.

I didn't see the 2nd part of your comment before I did this or I would have wrote you first: "driving habits are a relevant factor." I partly addressed this on the article's Talk page previously.

The reference cited concerns the nutritional habits of widows, not the driving habits of women and minorities in food deserts. Since the reference does not support the claim, the claim is unsupported and therefore merits deletion.Skingski (talk) 01:01, 10 July 2017 (UTC)(talk)[reply]

Hi Skingski Thanks for getting back to me about it. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 06:16, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In reference to your undo (Not redundant. The "Transportation" section does not discuss rural distances), information on distance is presented earlier in the page in a section entitled "Distance" -- Food_desert#Distance. In fact, the sentence I deleted is inaccurate: the Distance section enumerates two not one numbers for urban and rural desert distances. Since the definition of distance was already introduced, it is redundant information and should be deleted.Skingski (talk) 14:41, 24 July 2017 (UTC)(talk)[reply]

The specific deletion you have made (I fooled myself on which one it was) -- as I said, we already establish distances as a difference between rural and urban deserts. The bottom sentence does not really say anything and the references are not concerned with this topic. Transportation issues are discussed in context of rural deserts in the next section Food_desert#Transportation_barriers_to_food_access. I am torn on how to deal with this section -- I kind of want to have subsections in Transportation barriers for urban and rural/suburban/frontier; but it kind of feels like we should keep the current separate Rural food desert section and if so, move rural transportation there?Skingski (talk) 14:51, 24 July 2017 (UTC)(talk)[reply]
Hi Skingski, I think splitting the transportation issue between urban and rural makes sense. The issues are different; in urban settings issues such as bus routes are prevalent, wheras in rural areas distance is the main problem. Perhaps we should get another opinion or two, ask at WikiProject Food. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 16:48, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Cool, Dodger67. So to be clear, my idea is either:
1). Consolidate transportation info on rural food deserts into a new subsection of "Transportation barriers to food access." -- It sounds like you prefer this option?
OR
2). Have ""Transportation barriers to food access" appear before "Rural food deserts"; then move info specific to rural desert transportation into "Rural food deserts"
So you think this edit decision is important enough to warrant a post on Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Food_and_drink?
Thank you for keeping an eye on the article! It gets depressing fixing what started out as a giant unreadable mess IMHO by myself.Skingski (talk) 19:07, 24 July 2017 (UTC)(talk)[reply]
Skingski Yes I think that's the right question to put to the project. My main concern is to get rid of the repetition. I'm off to bed soon, it's getting late at this end. Hopefully there will be a clear consensus by the time I get back in the morning. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 19:51, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Dodger67. Did you see the feedback on the article by Bluerasberry? I am undertaking to follow his suggestions with a new page or two. Let me know Skingski (talk) 15:14, 26 July 2017 (UTC)(talk)[reply]
Hi, Dodger67. I moved nation-specific info to a new page as suggested on WikiProject Food -- Food deserts by country. Everything looks rough right now, but I think things have a better chance to look great. There is so much opinion in the articles which can be weeded out. Let me know what you think should go or stay. Bluerasberry and you have differing opinions on the transpo/rural desert issue. I'll see what I can do with it. Thanks again!Skingski (talk) 00:48, 28 July 2017 (UTC)(talk)[reply]
Hi, Dodger67. Thanks for the review. As for a lead, currently I'm roughly following Prostitution_by_country as a template for this page. If you can suggest another page like this, I would be very grateful! Obviously, I have a lot of work to do on this page... Skingski (talk) 18:30, 28 July 2017 (UTC)(talk)[reply]

Reflist 2

Hi Dodger, need to add Reflist 2 to this page . If its not on this page the link to the SADF Army history reflist doesn't pull through. Please help. Kind regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caracal Rooikat (talk • contribs) 10:18, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Caracal Rooikat I don't understand what you mean. All {{reflist|2}} does is to arrange the references into two columns, but this is deprecated in favour of ratherspecifying the column width (usually 30em) and allowing each reader's screen size to determine how many columns appear. AFAIK there is no way to make reflist carry references over from a different page. A page can also only have one reflist template, extra ones are simply ignored. Exactly which pages are you talking about? Please post links to them. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 15:19, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Question regarding MEDRS

Hello Dodger67, as you may remember, your were kind enough to provide help with [the Local SEO page]. Though this time I am contacting you regarding an entirely different topic: I also occasionally work on the [near death experiences page] and some of my edits were rejected [[2]] because the source I used, "The Handbook of Near-Death Experiences: Thirty Years of Investigation", was deemed non-MEDRS. Now, in the MEDRS policy they clearly state that "academic and professional books written by experts in the relevant fields and from respected publishers" can be used. The above Handbook is from a respected Academic publisher [[3]] I believe, since it is both academic and educational. Also, the authors are some of the best known names in the field of near death experiences: Bruce Greyson, for instance, is either author or co-author on more than 27 publications mostly related to Near Death Experienes (NDEs) in Pubmed. So where is the problem according to you? (did not get an answer from the talk page [[4]] ). Any help and advise is greatly appreciated - best Josezetabal (talk) 19:04, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Josezetabal I am by no means a specialist on this topic. We do however have a venue for evaluating sources, the Reliable sources noticeboard, discuss the topic there. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 06:58, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Aprilalsup, the sources you've listed above are not much use, they are all "coming attractions" announcements and adverts, or in one case a "casting call" in a trade magazine. What you really need are reviews by independent professional critics after the show premiered, published in mainstream media such as newspapers or magazines that have a more than local distribution.

Disability in ancient Rome

This article is almost entirely about Rome, not about the empire. Rathfelder (talk) 09:52, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rathfelder Even so, it still is not about the modern country of Italy. I think a new category "Disability in antiquity" is probably the best solution. It can also contain articles about disability in other old cultures. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 10:07, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I can't see any guidelines about the interface between geography and history, when the same place has been in several countries over time, and practice varies widely. History of disability would be a more useful category - that is notably missing.Rathfelder (talk) 10:14, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Rathfelder Very good idea! Category:History of disability could be subdivided later if needed. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 12:04, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Roger! Thank you for your very fast review and thank you very much for your invitation to Teahouse. It is great for a beginner like me, to have support like this. Wish you a beautiful day. JP1308 (talk) 10:04, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]


Hello Roger! Thank you very much for your incredible support! I learned a lot from you and I am looking forward to do my next article. I wish you a beautiful day.

Draft:John Maalouf

Hello, Dodger67. You recently commented on my Draftpage: John Maalouf. (My username is Ryanmardini24). You commented that you have "blanked" the talk page. What does that mean? Further, does that indicate that my submission is still in review? As always, I truly appreciate your help, efforts, and advice! All the Best, Ryan.

Ryanmardini24 (talk) 12:01, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ryanmardini24 Please do not undo the blanking of Draft talk:John Maalouf, it is not the correct place for the draft. The actual draft is at Draft:John Maalouf, that is the only page that should contain the draft, work on it there, do not make any more copies anywhere else. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 12:11, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dodger67, my apologies. As you can tell, I am relatively new to this and do not know how to go about navigating where to input the content. For any inconvenience I may have caused, I apologize. Is the new content (the one that is currently in the Draft: John Maalouf in the correct place for submission? Again, sorry and thank you. Ryanmardini24 (talk) 12:14, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ryanmardini24 I have restored the review material, please leave it in place, it will be cleaned up if the draft gets accepted into mainspace. Are you sure you removed the version you meant to? The one you removed was longer than the one you kept. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 12:23, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dodger67: Thank you for your note. Yes, I have included the one I intend to keep. The longer version was not accepted (or so I think) so I made it more concise and to the point, hopefully allowing it to be accepted into the mainspace. Ryanmardini24 (talk) 13:17, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ryanmardini24 actually you need to expand it quite a bit. It's a biography so it should say something abput the subject's birth, childhood, education, career, and personal/family life. It currently reads like an "executive profile" that one would find on a company website, but he was obviously not born a partner of the firm. Most importantly you need to show that he is a notable person by citing articles in mainstream media that discuss him in significant detail. The current content of the draft actually shows that the firm might possibly be notable, rather than himself. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 13:32, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting an info box

Mountain dog (disambiguation) ‎

I contested the deletion. And you unila±erally and summarily deleted it. By what procedure was that? I assume this was an oversight on your part. Please correct it. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:06, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]], I did see your post. I checked for any incoming links from other mainspace pages, there were none, thus it isn't actually disambigating anything, so I went ahead with the deletion. If my reasoning is faulty please let me know how I've gone wrong and I'd be happy to undelete. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 17:22, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
For what it's worth, I agree the deletion was valid, because per WP:TWODABS it's not necessary to have a dab page for two entries. Primefac (talk) 17:20, 22 July 2017 (UTC) (talk page stalker)[reply]
Trying again to ping User:7&6=thirteen, somehow the template is not working Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 17:24, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's the = in the {{u}}, so you'd have to do {{u|1=7&6=thirteen}}. Primefac (talk) 17:51, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Not a big issue. I imagine that is as close to a "consensus" we will get on a page that is buried so deep. I simply thought it was a signpost for readers; navigation here is problematical at best. No worries. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 20:20, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

23:47:46, 25 July 2017 review of submission by Waihekedon


I am not a relative nor do I have any financial or ulterior reason for persisting with this task. I am interested in the history of this person who has a terminal illness. Hence it is certainly not an advertisement. That said, I definitely 'get' what you are saying.

Third party references to verify her life and contributions are used frequently and a few more have been added

She was very active from her 20's as a woman leading from the 'front' in international protests - not very popular with many governments of course. Now we realise in the South Pacific that the residuals of nuclear testing still remain. Rainbow Warriors are considered quite heroic here.

I'm not sure how to re-write this because it is so interwoven with the politics and social fabric of the 1970's Should I remove all of the material under Life and Career?

Many thanks for what must be a very difficult and time consuming task as a volunteer. As a consolation Susi certainly stepped-up in her prime too.

I'm very grateful to both of you! Don

I will stop editing it, so that you may make the changes you find appropriate, as I believe you wouldn't want to see your edits removed because someone is editing over you, correct?
