Justice League

I just wanted you to know that the information you wanted to insert was removed from the lead. First, the lead summarizes and shouldn't be a house for unique information not present elsewhere in the article. Second, the article wasn't identifying it as a "bomb" in the sense that you were using it when you linked to that page. It was using the term as a symbolic reference for the film not performing better, not that it didn't make money. They kind of go out of their way to point out that if it was any other franchise, it would be considered a success, but because it's Justice League it's considered a "bomb" simply because it didn't make a billion dollars. They weren't actually comparing direct costs to revenue ratios and we shouldn't be presenting the information as if they were.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 21:13, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi, User:Bignole, In modern times, the phrase 'box office bomb' is used liberally for any film that does not make what is expected, see "The Mummy", "Blade Runner 2049," "King Arthur", and "Justice League." -- Wilner (Speak to me) 21:17, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

The very page you link to says that it's more than just simply not making back what it costs. Again, the issue not about whether it lost money, the issue is two-fold: The lead is not the place to introduce unique information that isn't present in the rest of the article, and Forbes was talking about how Justice League compares to other franchises and because of its hype is considered a bomb, not because of actual money lost. That's my point, they go out of their way to point out how it's made as much as many other films that cost similar, but it is not living up to reputation. You cannot insert that into the lead for sensationalism when there isn't context to explain what Forbes is saying.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 21:20, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi there, User:Bignole. The fact is that Justice League is a box office bomb, and this is well reported as a simple Google search indicates. In 2017, the term has been used liberally for films that grossed more than their budgets but did not perform as expected. See Blade Runner 2049, King Arthur, The Mummy (2017 film), and Justice League. Here are many sources calling it a box office bomb, and the term 'box office flop', which links to the same wiki article:

1.The Atlantic calls it a 'flop.'

2.Uproxx calls it a 'bomb.'

3.Screenrant calls it a 'box office bomb disaster.'

4. [1] Forbes does, as sourced before, and no it's not a "joke" as you claim: "Justice League is somewhat unique unto itself in terms of being able to make so much and still be considered a bomb."

5. Vulture calls it a 'flop.'

6. Business Insider calls it a 'flop.'

7. Observer calls it a 'flop.'

8. toofab calls it a 'flop.

9. Express calls it a 'flop.'

etc.

I notice you frequent your time on articles pertaining to DC products. Do you happen to work for DC or Warner Brothers? Perhaps you should take a break from editing DC related articles as you are letting personal interests get in the way of the mission of Wikipedia. It's quite a conflict of interest and goes against the rules of Wikipedia. See: WP:COI. -- Wilner (Speak to me) 21:42, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

First, don't presume to know me based on what I edit. It's unprofessional and uncouth to accuse me of having a COI because you think I work for something I don't simply based on my edits. I have also edited tons of Horror related articles, do you assume I work for those companies as well? Please don't try to distract the discussion with baseless accusations.

Second, you clearly keep missing my point. I never said the film was or was not a bomb. What I said was that (and I'll try to make this clearer for you):

1) The lead is for summarizing an article NOT for inserting unique information not present elsewhere. Please see WP:LEAD

2) The way Forbes is talking, you're presenting the information without context and Forbes is clearly talking about the film in relation to its performance and other franchises, not simply the Xs and Os of budgets. Yes, it has failed to make its money back. Not disputing that, nor disputing the actual label of "bomb". I'm telling you that you are misattributing what Forbes is saying by trying to make it seem as though they are specifically talking about cost and revenue. It's much more than that and you can see that from reading the whole and not title grabbing.

In conclusion, what you should surmise from this is that you need to develop the box office section more to reflect what you're trying to add instead of simply taking the shortcut approach and throwing it in the lead (where it doesn't belong, because the lead is for summarizing).  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 22:18, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Very well, per this discussion, I will add that information via the sources i have amalgamated into the box office section, and then after I will reinsert it into the lede, as it is very notable, and currently isn't mentioned at all on the article, which i find sinister. -- Wilner (Speak to me) 22:22, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Shoot, I'm sorry User:NeilN ! I didn't know you already removed it. I assumed something went wrong with my editing. I was in the process of removing it when that happened. No malicious intent! I've also messaged that user on their talk page letting them know it goes against WP:BLP and WP:RS.-- Wilner (Speak to me) 04:22, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

It was actually EEng who removed it. Do you want to undo your edit? --NeilN ^{talk to me} 04:24, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Oh, whoops. I see that now. I don't think I can at this point because i've made a few more edits attempting to add past information, with good sources, such as Newsweek. -- Wilner (Speak to me) 04:37, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Explanation

The reason why I think this is better suited as a category is because it only has one column, and your reason might not apply because the template could be added to other articles. ToThAc (talk) 02:38, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Germanic languages

Hello. There is a dialect continuum from the Low Franconian to the Central Franconian and High Franconian languages via Limburgish. Limburgish was already affected by the High German consonant shift and is already transitional between Low Franconian and Ripuarian. Also, Low German has more Ingvaeonic (North Sea Germanic) features than Low Franconian. TheCarlos1975 (talk) 07:22, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

English people article

But therefore wouldn't my addition hold true since ethnicity falls under association ("otherwise associated with England")? I only add this because the article implies that English people are only considered so if they are born in England; "native to", (native referring to ones place of birth and nothing else). What would you define as an English person and the difference between ethnic and nationality in this case? Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope to hear your response. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.249.70.183 (talk) 22:24, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Why did you delete my posting to your talk page? I explained earlier I am updating a category. You have decided not to discuss and have only threatened me with being a vandal and that I will blocked. Sir or Madam please stop interfering in my editing with such blatant disregard. I explained earlier the category prisoners and detainees of the us government is for current prisoners and detainees only. I have offered as proof the fact that Charles Manson and Al Capone are both excluded for obvious reasons though both served considerable time in US prison.

The fact remains I am not a vandal and will not debate the issue with me. You removed my posting to your talk page and have continued to revert all my edits for the category in question. I do believe to remove talk page discussions on any talk page is a violation of Wikipedia policy and is in fact vandalism itself.

1. Vandalism is the removal of content, which you are doing. READ WP:VANDALISM. (I already stated that above.)

2. Wikipedia policy specifically states that users can do whatever they want to their talk pages. I can delete whatever I want. Also, you're complaining about me removing your post after I had re-added it, anyway. R9tgokunks ✡ 03:54, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Content changes as the time changes. Please explain why the two individuals I cited are not included in the category? It is because they no longer fit the category. Perhaps, you should wait for a real answer rather than resorting to edit warring and vandalism. Thank youWell please reread the General talk page. Please use some sense man!

This IP is going through almost every article and removing the same category. R9tgokunks ✡ 03:43, 19 February 2018 (UTC) @R9tgokunks: As well they might; as they have explained on your Talk page, the category should not remain on the page of everyone who at one time was a federal prisoner indefinitely.

Hello

Hello. In the Low Saxon-speaking regions of the Netherlands, Low German is referred to as Low Saxon only, and in the West Low German-speaking regions of Germany, Low German is referred to as either Low German or Low Saxon. Also in English, Low German is referred to as either Low German or Low Saxon. Only in the East Low German-speaking regions, Low German is referred to as Low German only. You might want to have a look at the version as of 14:58, 11 November 2017 before someone classified Dutch and Afrikaans as "Netherlandic". Also, it is strange that there is, since 18:51, 7 December 2017, a category "Standard variants" for the Low Franconian languages, when there are other standardized Germanic languages as well. And the West Low German dialects have more in common with the Anglo-Frisian languages than the East Low German dialects. Also, Dutch and Afrikaans are West Low Franconian.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

• tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
• adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
• updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
• creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Removal of any mention of newspapers.com

I am astonished you have repeatedly removed edits by different editors of any mention to one of ancestry's biggest products newspapers.com. Newspapers.com is used as a reference in many wikipedia articles and it would be helpful to know something about the website (which is also in partnership with wikipedia). I understand you're not liking self references. But press releases identified as such announcing the product are o.k. You have also removed third party references. You should always assume good faith rather than nuking. You can tag the entry but nuking the entire section is not the way to go on such a major product.
