Judgement call

Hi!

Do you think there should be a page for the term "Crimmigration"? It has its own sub section on the US immigration page, but I'm not sure when something is big enough to spin off into its own article. Looking for some insight and you've been doing this for a while. Thoughts? Rjkdavin (talk) 01:51, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Rjkdavin: Not sure why you're asking me, or what page you're talking about, but in my opinion no, there's likely not enough to warrant its own article. It might be worth an entry at wiktionary however. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 01:55, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Since when is WOS not selective?

You asked that here. The answer is simple: since "inclusion in WoS" in this case only means that it is included in ESCI (which even contains some predatory journals)... --Randykitty (talk) 10:34, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Randykitty: [1] Seems you're right. It's in the Philosopher's Index though, but I don't know how selective that is. Feel free to AFD. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 09:11, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That index isn't very selective either, far as I can tell. I'll take it to AfD, but PROD would have saved time. --Randykitty (talk) 09:29, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that's my bad entirely. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 09:33, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciation

Thank you for your help on the humour article for the next Signpost. Ya didn't have to do it but you did. I have to warn you that there weas criticism of my work in three different venues: Wikipedia facebook page, libraries group in a another forum and in my latest ANI appearance. I hope you are up-to-it. I should have told you before now but you look like a person who is able to 'keep' she-he-they, gender-less and under control.

Vasodilatory shock

Dear Sir or Madam, I think the body of https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health-topics/cardiogenic-shock is in the public domain. What do you think about? --It's gonna be awesome!✎Talk♬ 17:32, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm of no real opinion here. I put the copy violation blank to prevent deletion and allow investigation. If there's no copyright violation, remove it. You can also ask on the talk page of the article. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 18:24, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply. User:Doc James has done it. Regards. --It's gonna be awesome!✎Talk♬ 07:34, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Anchors

Re this, for some odd reason anchors are case sensitive. I didn't want to break any existing incoming links, which is why I added another anchor to match the case of the section header rather than just change the one that's there. See Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee#Edit request for the background to this edit. It shouldn't be necessary to check the source of the page in order to find the correct name/case of the anchor. Bradv🍁 19:58, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Bradv: See the note at the top of WP:BOTDICT. Every anchor starts with a capital. I suppose that could be changed, but if so, it'd have to be changed across the board.Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:02, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't see that note before, but that's an even stranger decision than the one to make anchors case sensitive in the first place. Why would we agree to make anchors uppercase and section titles lowercase? Bradv🍁 20:05, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't really call it a conscious decision. It's just a choice that was made, but have both uppercase/lowercase would improve usuabilty, so I'll try to add the lowercase anchors by the end of the day or so. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:54, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that will help prevent this confusion going forward. Bradv🍁 00:56, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Anchors in the underlying HTML are case sensitive, so at the browser level it isn't a choice made by Wikipedia. A template could, say, automatically generate an all-lowercase version of an anchor in addition to one with the same casing as the original input parameter. I'm not sure it would be a good idea to change the existing anchor template to do that, though; I would be more inclined to introduce this behaviour in a new template. isaacl (talk) 02:58, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Signpost

Please retract or redact your PA and disingenuous comment and get your facts right - or stay out of the argument. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 20:44, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What exactly is the personal attack here? That you (i.e. The Signpost and its editors) fucked up? Because you fucked up. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 20:46, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kudpung. It's been a long time since we last met in person, but as long term contributors, I'm sure you remember we have similar views on many things. If you object to Headbomb's overly frank description, it may help for you to contribute to the MfD from a procedural perspective. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 22:40, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fæ, I have always been a strong supporter of your work and ideals, in particular considering everything you have gone through and still remained stoically on Wikipedia. Headbomb's current attempts to misinform us and his personal attacks are beyond the pale. Until he retracts his comments I will have nothing to do with the MfD. I am not responsible for the publication of The Signpost and haven't been for some time. As an admin , I am not allowed to defend myself beyond the warning below. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 23:03, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You are one of the two Co-Editors-in-Chief of the Signpost and you have actively and knowingly participated in the publishing of this piece. Which means the editorial responsability of publishing that piece of garbage is on you (and Bri). Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 23:12, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Continue with these lies, garbage, and PA - someone will block you sooner or later.. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:00, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There are no lies or PA in what I wrote. Take me to ANI, see what happens. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 10:01, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop attacking other editors. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 23:05, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yay, more threats over vague allegations of bullshit claims of personal attacks! Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 23:06, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Screenshot preservation

Hi, I don't know how reliable gyazo.com is, but just in case: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/file/upload/ is pretty easy to use and ensures we preserve screenshots about our tools, bug reports etc. Nemo 08:51, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Nemo bis: Gyazo is a right-click --> automatically uploads things with the address and all and takes place in like 2 seconds. Using manual file upload like that is at least a minute long process. And quite likely longer to remember how to even get to the phabricator upload form, plus login, plus finding where in the world my screenshot went, plus cropping.
