Hudba Praha moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Hudba Praha, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. I did this rather than removing the uncited material in the article, which I felt would be more disruptive. When you have the required sourcing (and every assertion needs a source), and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Emilis Vėlyvis notability

Dear David Revirvlkodlaku,

I have been contributing to Wikipedia for almost 16 years. Recently I wrote Emilis Vėlyvis article. An American, New York-born editor onel5969 has questioned Emilis' notability. In response, I have added content referenced by three independent, reliable non-English media sources, delfi.lt, Lithuanian TV3 and Lietuvos rytas. In addition, a new section "Selected awards and nominations" has been introduced.

I therefore deem the Velyvis' notability criteria has been satisfied.

I have informed onel5969 on his talk page and have requested to remove the "notability" tag. onel5969 is not eager to follow through. I myself can not remove the notability tag due to possible conflict of interest because I have started the article about Emilis.

Can you please remove the notability tag?

Thank you for your help and attention, Tomas Ttk371 (talk) 06:09, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Tomas, I can look into the matter, but first, I have two questions to ask you:

1. Why is it important to you that the notability tag be removed?
2. Why come to me about this?

Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 06:12, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

David, thank you for your prompt reply.

1. To answer your first question, I admit confusion (smile). Editor Onel5969 originally might have had good reasons to request to improve the article, so I did improve. I do not attend to editing Wikipedia on very frequent basis. The notability tag may lead to article deletion in my absence. I hope this thus answers your question, even if partially.

2. I have asked you because a) your page welcomes those seeking help b) you have written or contributed to articles about European cinematography c) you have kindly thanked me for a minor edit of The Good Plumber.

Verily yours,

Tomas Ttk371 (talk) 06:33, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

David,

I further ask you to help. I have asked editor Onel5969 Can you please outline a roadmap to facilitate the notability of Emilis Vėlyvis solved?. Onel5969 has requested to stop posting to my talk page. How to close the matter of Emilis Vėlyvis notability now?

It feels like a stalemate. Please advise, is there an appeal process in Wikipedia - if it's time to consider an appeal?

Thank you for your help and attention,

Verily yours, Tomas Ttk371 (talk) 12:22, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

You fail to mention that I asked you to stop posting on my talk page due to your incivility. I've let you know that you need at least 3 in-depth sources from independent, reliable, secondary sources to show notability. I've let you know that foreign language sources are perfectly fine. I've let you know that interviews, as primary sources, do not go towards notability. That's the road map. And my apologies to Revirvlkodlaku that you got dragged into this. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:26, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

I respectfully ask David to make his own judgement on civility of my communication. I consider my communication polite and respectful.

Verily yours, Tomas Ttk371 (talk) 12:38, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

@Onel5969, it's possible that you and I have a different idea about what constitutes civility, but after reading the exchange you've had with Ttk371 on your talk page, my conclusion is that there is no lack of civility on their part. Ttk371 approached you with the utmost degree of courtesy, as they have demonstrated on my own talk page, and your response was rather curt, even dismissive. Yes, you have outlined the steps this user should take in order to meet your criteria, but you made no effort to be nice about it (not that you are obligated to do so).

@Ttk371, I'm not going to remove the notability tag from the Emilis Vėlyvis page, as I don't want to get embroiled in another dispute, but I would advise you to follow the steps outlined by Onel5969 on their talk page. This should hopefully resolve the issue. If not, my next step, in your place, would be to seek a third opinion through the appropriate 3O channel. Hope this helps :)

Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 14:15, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you very much, David! I completely understand and support your decision to not remove the notability tag.

1. Can you please guide me into 3O ("third opinion") process? What page to start it on?

2. Do you happen to know if an instrument similar to "change of venue" in the United States courts of law, or "removal of judge" in Lithuanian courts of law exists whereby an editor is removed from deciding on tagging a page like Emilis Velyvis and another rather neutral editor is assigned instead?

I feel indebted.

Verily yours,

Tomas (or Tom in English-speaking countries; he/him) Ttk371 (talk) 14:42, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

@Tom, here is a link to the 3O process: WP:Dispute resolution requests/Third opinion. I don't know the answer to your second question, unfortunately, as I've never looked into that myself. Sorry to disappoint. By the way, we also use Tomas, or Thomas, in English-speaking countries ;) Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 15:01, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Good morning David, may I please invite you to share your insight in Talk:Emilis_Vėlyvis#Silver_Crane_award_effect_on_notability?

This discussion may solve the notability question not for Emilis Velyvis alone, but for many or all awardees of this prestigious Lithuanian filmmaking industry award. A discussion on the subject article talk page is also a precursor for initiating the third opinion request.

Thank you kindly, Tom (I prefer Tom solely because Tomas is often mispronounced in Spanish-culture-rich United States. My full name is rather pronounced as Thomas (smile) ) (talk) 16:56, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Tom, I've piped up on the Emilis Velyvis page, although I admit that I haven't done any proper research into the criteria for WP notability. I'll keep an eye on the discussion for the time being though. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 04:44, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Mockrát děkuji David! Coincidental to your interest in Czech culture I am proud to remember interviewing Vaclav Havel on August 9, 1989 at his summer home near Mlade Buky where he was deported by police - that's three months before the Velvet Revolution. I was a very young journalism student at the time. Tom Ttk371 (talk) 08:39, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

@Ttk371 Nemáš zač! Wow, that's quite the claim to fame! I was only nine years old in 1989, probably shortly before moving from Montreal to Prague. Was Havel a pleasant man to speak to? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 15:11, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

I'd be glad to share the experience of that day but Wikipedia is not the best place to do so :) You can also find me on FB forward slash tchadaravicius :)

We (Havel, my photographer and myself) were at a picnic table outside. I was asking questions in English, Havel was answering in Czech. There was a bottle of vodka on the table. He offered us a shot and had some himself. All lasted about one hour.

Finding his hut in the spruce-covered hills was another adventurous story. I spoke German with local farmers who had guided us to Havel's home.

Tomaš :) Ttk371 (talk) 16:20, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

@Ttk371 Holy, what an adventure! I always assumed Havel could speak fluent English, for some reason, though I'm not sure why. I've sent you a fb request, thanks for being so friendly! Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 17:34, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

He said, he could speak English, but "we are in Czechia, I will be responding in Czech." Ttk371 (talk) 18:17, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Today, Sunday, December 4th I have posted a question, Wikipedia_talk:Notability#Does_winning_a_national_industry_filmmaking_award_satisfy_notability_criteria? on the Wikipedia:Notability project page.

Yours, Tom Ttk371 (talk) 01:57, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

I have initiated a 3O (third opinion) request at Wikipedia:Third_opinion#Active_disagreements. Such request requires notification of discussion participants.

January 2023

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Miso Film, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Here and elsewhere, you are actively making articles worse for no good reason at all. Please stop. Fram (talk) 15:27, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Please explain why the edit was not constructive. I reverted the addition of unreferenced content. This is standard practice. Stop hounding me, you appear to be engaged in a personal vendetta, and this will not be tolerated. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 15:31, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

The previous content wasn't sourced either, all you did was WP:BITEing an editor and removing actually sourceable content. It is very unclear why you opposed the addition of a review from a professional magazine as an external link to Ane Brun, your edit summary was rather cryptic. Fram (talk) 15:37, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

The fact that the previous content wasn't sourced either isn't relevant and shouldn't prevent me from removing further unreferenced content. Your line of reasoning suggests that if a page contains one line of unreferenced content, I should be free to add an entire paragraph of unreferenced content, or even more, which is absurd.

As for the Ane Brun article, I pointed out that as per WP:External links#Minimize_the_number_of_links, the link was unnecessary. Once again, please keep your activity and criticism constructive; at the moment, you appear to be on a personal vendetta. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 15:43, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

No, you didn't point that out: if you had, I could have corrected you immediately. That section is about official links (official websites, twitter accounts, instagram, ...), and has nothing to do with other, independent external links as in this case. Fram (talk) 16:32, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

WP:External links#Links_normally_to_be_avoided please read carefully, and then stop bothering me. This unfriendly conversation is not a good use of my time (and hopefully, yours either). Unless you have something constructive to add, I will no longer be engaging. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 17:04, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Tense of Guertel-case

Hi, I notice you did a lot of grammar editing on Gürtel_case. But the elephant in the room is that the entire article is in the present tense. Isn't this a long-since finished case, a case that should now be in the past tense? I'd have changed it, but I didn't want to tread on your toes, and thought you might know more about it than I do. Elemimele (talk) 17:05, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Elemimele, thanks for pointing this out, as I hadn't thought of it. Thank you also for being considerate of my toes :) There is a tag at the top of the page, suggesting that it should be updated. Would you be willing to do this? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 02:47, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

I could do the tense; I don't know anything about the subject (I was just looking at recent changes when I found it the first time), but tense is just language. I'll have a look, it might be tomorrow before I get to it. Best wishes! Elemimele (talk) 06:55, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Hotel Alcron

Hi, I see you reverted my edit on the page for the Alcron Hotel Prague. You changed "Pre-WWII guests included" back to "Pre-WWII guests have included." That is grammatically incorrect in English, that's why I changed it. In English, you would only say "guests have included" if something is still ongoing. Because we're talking about a period that has ended - the Pre-WWII period - the correct English wording is "guests included." Jamesluckard (talk) 22:01, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Jamesluckard, you are corrected, that was my mistake. I didn't notice the "Pre-WWII" part. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 00:35, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

@Jamesluckard, I'm surprised to note that you haven't seen fit to acknowledge my retreat and admission of error on this topic in any manner. If you with to maintain good relations with other editors, and in order to encourage good behaviour, it's important that you reinforce it when it occurs, and the best way to do that is not to ignore when someone has made a concession to you. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 21:20, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

I apologize, but I'm not sure what you mean. Is there a format to post recognition for something like this. I promise, it wasn't an intentional oversight, but I've been editing pages here for many years and haven't heard of this before. Happy to do so if you can explain how I should though. No offense intended. :) Jamesluckard (talk) 06:38, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

@Jamesluckard, it isn't as complicated as you make it sound. If you've been editing Wikipedia for years, surely you must be aware of the "thank" feature. You also had the option to respond to my last comment, using the words of your choice. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 15:21, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

I've never heard of a "thank" feature on Wikipedia, I promise you. Nobody has ever mentioned it to me and I've never seen it. However, if you would explain to me how it works, I'd be more than happy to do that. None of this has been meant as a slight to you, I promise. I am genuinely grateful that you acknowledged that my grammatical fix was correct. I would have stated that earlier, but in all honesty, I've just never been asked before to say anything like that in all my years here, so I didn't imagine there was a need to. But I do, indeed, gratefully acknowledge that you retreated and admitted your error, as you stated. Jamesluckard (talk) 22:58, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

I just realized you mean the thing where you get notifications that people "thanked" you for an edit. I don't know how I would do that for a comment you made in "talk" though. In all honesty, I've never paid much attention to those "thanks." If that's a mistake, I apologize. Jamesluckard (talk) 23:01, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

When I go to your user page, I see a "heart" icon, with some options, but none of those options include "thanks." How do I do that? Jamesluckard (talk) 23:02, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

I found a page explaining "thanks." It looks like it's a special program that needs to be downloaded. I've never done so, which is why I don't have an icon for it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Notifications/Thanks The process to install the "thanks" program seems a bit complicated. Is this the only way to do it? I truly didn't mean to make you feel slighted, but I'm being honest when I say nobody has ever mentioned this to me before. Jamesluckard (talk) 23:05, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

I read the page explaining how to download and install "Thanks" and I genuinely can't follow it. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Thanks I apologize. I'm being honest. I'm just not a computer whiz and it seems very complicated. Is there a simple way to install it? Jamesluckard (talk) 23:08, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

@Jamesluckard, I'm baffled by what you're telling me. In fact, I'm struggling not to think that you're trolling me. It appears that you've been editing Wikipedia for just as long as I have, and you've never once noticed that there is an option to thank an editor for every single edit they make? I just looked up the Thanks page, and it doesn't seem like it's anything you have to install—it's a default part of the English Wikipedia. I also don't know what you mean by "heart icon" on my user page.

Either way, no harm, no foul. I do have a question for you though: why is your user name redlinked instead of being clickable, like other users? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 23:33, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

I promise you, I'm not trolling you. I use my real name as my username here. I have absolutely nothing to hide. I think my username is red because I've never bothered to create a biography page for myself here. I just like to read articles and make edits. Did you check the links I posted above? "Thanks" appears to be an app you have to add onto Wikpiedia. It doesn't appear to be there automatically. I'm on a PC, maybe it's different on a Mac. This page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Thanks describes "Thanks" as an extension that must be download, and includes a Download section. That's the part that I'm totally confused by. It doesn't look like a normal program that you just download and open. I do see now on "History" for each page that there's an option to "Thank" a user for an edit. I've never noticed that before and never done it. However I still am not sure how I would have "thanked" you for the comment you left here. I only see "reply" as an potion next to each of our comments. I don't see "Thanks" as an option. Or did you mean you had hoped I would have pressed "Thanks" next to your incorrect reversion of my original edit? I can go do that now. I'm sorry I didn't realize that was a thing people expected. As I said, nobody has ever mentioned it to me before. Jamesluckard (talk) 23:45, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

I just hit "thanks" next to the last edit you made on the Alcron Hotel page, the one we discussed and I undid. I hope that's helpful. Sorry, I've just never been through anything like this before. As I said, I use my real name as my username here. You're more than welcome to friend me on Facebook or something, so you can see I'm not an anoymous troll. Jamesluckard (talk) 23:47, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Oh, and the heart icon is along the top. The options are READ, EDIT, VIEW HISTORY, then a picture of a heart, then a star, then MORE, then SEARCH WIKIPEDIA. I've never used the heart. I'm not sure what it does. Jamesluckard (talk) 23:50, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Not the very top line, sorry, the line below it. The very top line has your username, then a bell, a box, and a bunch of other options. I meant the one below it. Jamesluckard (talk) 23:51, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

I like to edit pages on hotels and movies. How about you? Looking at your history, your interests seem to range pretty widely, which is cool! Jamesluckard (talk) 23:53, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

@Jamesluckard, I see the source of confusion now (and I no longer think you are a troll). While there may be an extension with a separate "thank-you" function, what I'm talking about is built into the enwiki software, and as you've yourself discovered, it's there to be found on each page's history. That's actually the key here, and perhaps why you didn't notice it before—you didn't see the "thank" feature on the talk page, because you have to go to the page's history to see it. I didn't think of that earlier, because I'm always looking at edit histories (for pages on my watchlist), so I see the feature all the time. No, I didn't mean you should thank me for my incorrect reversion :) I see a James Luckard in Los Angeles who likes Love Actually. Is that you? As for the heart and star you mention, I don't see those, likely because you and I are looking at Wikipedia using a different skin. Did you download the latest skin update? I'm still using the old one, so I don't see the heart or star icons. Well, I edit articles on a range of topics, mainly because, like you, I'll read something and if it contains errors, I just can't leave them there. My main interest is music though, so most of the new articles I've created are on that topic. It's nice to meet you, by the way, James; I'm David Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 01:59, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Yep, that's me! And yep, that's why I hadn't noticed the "thank" feature before, I rarely visit the "History" page for articles and hadn't looked at the layout closely. I had noticed a few times that people had "Thanked" me, it showed up on the bell icon next to my name, and I wondered how they did it, but I never got curious enough to investigate. At least now I know. :) What are skins? I'm not familiar with that. Is that like different layouts you can choose? I've seen that on some chat forums I visit. I would assume I'm just using whatever the "default" skin is here, I don't remember ever changing any settings. I've always been fascinated by hotels, and I started noticing a few years back how woefully incomplete many pages on famous/historic hotels were. They would have dates that I knew were incorrect for their opening, or they would neglect to mention multiple name changes. One hotel's page misleadingly seemed to suggest that the structure was the original historic structure, when it was, in fact, a modern replica. I started correcting these and then I started creating pages for hotels I liked that felt noteworthy and had no pages. I just looked at my own contribution history and discovered I've been here for 18 years! Yikes! I had no idea it had been that long, time sure does fly! When I started, sources were not required at all, it's been interesting to see how things have evolved. I work hard to find as many sources as possible now. Luckily, with the number of newspapers and books that have been digitized, that's usually pretty easy. It's nice to meet you too! I'm glad we got everything cleared up. I totally understand why you thought I was a troll at first. It's sad that there are so many people out there who have nothing better to do with their time but cause trouble, but I'm just here to update pages on hotels and movies, mostly. :) Jamesluckard (talk) 04:51, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

How did you come to be following the page for the Alcron Hotel? I hope to see it someday. I missed seeing it the one time I was in Prague, in 2001. I actually created the page here for it, a number of years ago. Jamesluckard (talk) 04:53, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

@Jamesluckard, it's as you said, a "skin" is a page layout/interface. Wikipedia periodically updates the default skin, and I know a new one was just released a day or two ago, although if I'm not mistaken, it has been available for some time now, as many non-English wikis use a different skin from the one I'm still on.

I had no idea that references were ever not required on Wikipedia! Those must have been the Wild West days 😅😅😅

I'm actually half Czech, and I lived in Prague for three years as a child. I was recently in a Czech restaurant here in Edmonton, where I reside, and they had an item on the menu with the name Alcron, so I had to find out what that was all about. As it turns out, they make their chicken in the "Alcron" style, as I think there's an eponymous restaurant in the hotel, right?

I sent you a fb friend request, by the way; I'm David Tonner Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 06:02, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Pertaining to changes made by ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ

Hi Revirvlkodlaku, saw you reverted changes by ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ, do you happened to know where could this issues be raised on? As ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ didn't just made those changes to Extraordinary Attorney Woo and Glitch but to more than thousands other articles as well, and now those unreverted ones has misleading subheader in their Infobox where other params (like Developed by, Director, Writers, Starring, etc) not under Infobox Korean name is displayed as if it's grouped under Korean name which is incorrect and misleading. I had tried to reverted their edits as much as possible but looks to be an impossible task. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 16:45, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Paper9oll, I didn't realize the scope of this issue, and thousands of similarly misedited articles is certainly a big deal. What I would do first is try to communicate with the editor, by leaving a message on their talk page. If this fails, I would likely turn to one of the noticeboards, such as WP:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. I don't have time to do anything about it now, but do keep me updated, and I'll be happy to assist you if you still need help in a few hours. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 17:19, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

@Revirvlkodlaku I had just raise the issue at their talk page (for your reference), however also noting that another editor had previously raise the same issues previously on 11 January 2023 on their talk page also, their response is to be me personally rather fierce and seemingly uncooperative with intention to push ahead regardless. Also posted on here on WP:Templates for discussion/Holding cell to see if there would be other editors that would help out or not. Thanks! — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 17:43, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

This change has been done in far more pages by multiple users slowly over the years. A few may have disliked the changes, others have sent me thank notifications for them, they aren't "misedited". Rest assured I have no intention of pushing ahead, I have better things to spend my time on. Thanks. ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ (talk) 19:56, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

@ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ, I'm perplexed by your attitude on this subject. User:Paper9oll politely explained the issue your edits were causing, and asked you to pause until it was resolved. You chose to take a combative stance and dig in your heels, as if the fact that your edits were creating a problem with the visual presentation of thousands of infoboxes was irrelevant. I admit that I'm not familiar with the topic being discussed, and which has, supposedly, swallowed countless hours of yours and many other editors' time, but that seems somewhat beside the point if your actions are actually creating a problem on Wikipedia. I can understand how this whole situation would be frustrating for you, but please keep in mind that any pushback you get on the subject has nothing to do with you, so please don't take it personally. Additionally, I think it would be correct on your part to undo the edits until the issue can be resolved, rather than leaving a trail of broken infoboxes behind. Thank you. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 22:54, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

I have received multiple thanks for the same edits you are calling broken, clearly some people think they are an improvement. What you are calling an issue, some others consider it as a feature. I have got objections and I have stopped. I am not going to revert them only for those who like it to re-revert it back. Anyway I withdraw all of my edits pertaining to Infobox name module, feel free revert anything you are comfortable taking responsibility for (it appears Paper9oll has already done that), I don't care at this point. ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ (talk) 02:53, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

The nation of Québec

Hi there, hope everything is going ok for you

If I were to prove you that Québec is, actually, a nation, something as strong and as binding as a constitution amendment explicitely stating so, black on white, added according to legislation in place, and whom the lack of acknowledgement would be a clear unneutral stance as strong as denying a distinct nation's existence, would you let me put back my edit? Many thanks.

Important post-scriptum : a country/state and a nation are not the same thing, they're different concepts and words for a reason, even if many people do the easy mistake of not realizing it, which I don't blame you for, I did the same mistake years ago. The two however, when combined, form the nation-state, which is were the confusion come from. I mean, just reading the definition of nation, Québécois already fit and you should let me do that in accordance with Wikipedia neutrality, as denying a recognized nation's existence and having them written as another is clearly not neutral or innocent, but I'm willing to go a step further with what I proposed, what do you say? 166.62.226.25 (talk) 05:38, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, the first thing I'll need you to do is to tell me what article you're referring to. I make large and small edits to dozens of pages every single day, so if you don't mention the page you're referring to, how am I supposed to remember?

Second, as far as I know, Quebec is a province of Canada. I'm not sure what definition of "nation" you're using, and I'm curious to find out, but I can't guarantee that I will revert myself based on that. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 05:55, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi there again. The article in question is Gilles Vigneault first and foremost. Sorry for not having it pointed out earlier. Secondly, I was talking about the one of the very wikipedia page of nation I linked. Does it satisfy your requirements for the basis of such a revert or do I need another one? A nation can also at the same time be a state (where it becomes a nation-state, a nation and a state, I say Québec is also the former even if it is not explicitely named "the nation of Québec"), a province or any other form of governance or absence thereof, hence the stateless nations (Québécois are right there on this page with an academic source to back it up), while still being a nation. A nation is not a nationality but a more inclusive form of ethnicity, based on a shared sense of identity, culture, language and institutions/distinct legal status on a specific territory. 166.62.226.25 (talk) 06:23, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

I see what you mean now, and yes, the distinction makes sense, but I still don't see why nation should supersede country in a short description. As far as I know, not only is it conventional to mention a person's country of origin in the s.d., but as most people are not aware of/don't care about the distinction between nation and country that we are discussing here, and additionally, as many people are not aware of what Quebec is, for the purposes of the s.d., I think describing Vigneault as Canadian (which he is, in fact) is preferable. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 15:19, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Nation absolutely should supersede country because the very purpose of that adjective in the short description is to give the viewer an accurate cultural context that could help understand the person involved as well as giving proper credit to the nation responsible for the creation or to which the person belong to. Right now, it is giving credit to another nation, the canadian one, and it's unfair but also present the inaccurate view that the cultural context is the same as in Winnipeg, which is deceiptful to say the least. Also, it is violating Wikipedia's neutrality by saying to Québécois "You are not allowed to exist and be recognized as such even if the canadian constitution recognize you as distinct from Canadians" and taking an explicitely federalist position when Wikipedia should not take positions (existing is neutral, Québécois of all political stances call themselves as such, telling you don't exist and are in fact another nation is not). Canada is the nation-state of Canadians, with their own language, culture and sense of identity, yet there are other minority nations within it such as the First Nations and Québec, which, despite being constitutionally recognized as nations, are absorbed into another even if it is questionnable due to history and is just unfair. You say people don't care or don't know, yet why is it this way to begin with when other Wikipedias recognize it? Could it be because it is just not shown to begin with that people are not aware of this distinction, creating a self-fullfulling prophecy? Is it fair, socioculturally-accurate, neutral and not offensive or taking position if I where to say Sitting Bull is American? That Tibetans are Chinese? That Gandhi is British? That Ukrainians are Russians? If Wikipedia existed in the 30s, would it be fair, neutral, socioculturally accurate to say Koreans are Japanese because technically it would be "true"?

And not only that, but on the national poet of the Québécois on top of that! One who fought all his life for Québécois to exist, thrive and be recognized as not Canadians but a distinct nation, just being called against all his own views "Canadian", is that neutral and not taking a position for you? I really fail to see why so much opposition. Why not have it supersede. The convention says that Adam Smith is Scottish, why can't Gilles Vigneault be Québécois? Just like sub-categories, sub-nations are there for a reason, it's the same logic. I'm not stating anything that is false and is, in fact more accurate and neutral that was was before in my edit, I can even give a source explicitely describing him like that if it's what it takes. Minority nations care. I'm not asking for much, just for the right to exist, for the national poet of an entire distinct nation to finally be credited to the right people. They don't know what Québec is? Let them hover the short description and they'll find out. 166.62.226.25 (talk) 23:21, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

@166.62.226.25 I think you are reading far more into this than is required, and in addition, I suspect you are personally invested in this topic to such a degree that your perspective is not neutral. It has not been my experience on Wikipedia that a nation would supersede country when speaking of a person's origin. There is no deceit intended here; again, I think you are choosing to ascribe much more to my motives than is warranted.

Your use of Adam Smith for comparison is inaccurate, since Scotland is actually a separate country within the British union; this is not the way federalism in Canada works.

Anyway, I have a feeling that no matter what I say, you will continue to insist on the correctness of your position, which is totally fair. I, on the other hand, am not convinced by your arguments, at least with respect to an article's short description, so if you feel so strongly about it, I suggest you seek a third opinion. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 23:56, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Can I at least give you this :

90Q.1.Quebecers form a nation.

2. 90Q.2.French shall be the only official language of Quebec. It is also the common language of the Quebec nation.

Added by article 45 of the 1982 Constitution Act to the constitution of Canada. Québec is not just another province anymore. Would that mean that if Scotland suddenly became a "province", we'd have to change all their articles to be "british"?? Where's the logic here? All I see are double-standards based on the way they are named, not the way they are, and it's not fair. I don't give intention on you or anything, it's not about you, don't worry, but the implications of the way articles are phrased right now that I think people fail to realize the very questionable consequences of what they imply toward minority nations and how it is anything but neutral and thus anything but in accordance to the very values that Wikipedia is supposed to follow, it has absolutely nothing to do with how I think. Deceiptful for the viewer reading these. Asking for equality in the representation of all minority nations recognized as such by the highest of legal instances, country or no country (what is a country supposed to be now anyway), suddenly isn't neutral now? Nations do supersede countries in other wikipedias, like the one in french for instance. So it's the proof that there's something there and, more importantly, that conventions do change, I was hoping it'd be the first step in it being the case in english as well. Here it feels anyone I talk to just want to preserve the sacrosanct status quo at all costs regardless without fully tackling my arguments or refuse to talk to me to begin with. I can't help but feel a bit disappointed, you revert my edit stating "Quebec is not a nation", I proved it to you, you recognized it, yet nothing changes in the end. Anyway, if I red you correctly, if I were to convince someone else the truth that Québec is a recognized nation, black on white, would I be able to have my edit back? Also, André Quitich.

Take care in all cases. 166.62.226.25 (talk) 01:54, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

@166.62.226.25 this seems to be a largely political question, as relates to Quebec's status within Canada, and I really don't think that's the most relevant point when it comes to the short description. As Quebec is still an integral part of Canada, Vigneault is a Canadian citizen, and therefore, I see no reason why it shouldn't state that he is Canadian in the short description. If he wasn't Canadian, on the other hand, then I would agree with you.

I don't think it's the case that other editors want to preserve a sacrosanct status quo–I think you judge too harshly, as you are focused on an issue that others simply don't consider extremely relevant in this context.

When I wrote that Quebec is not a nation, I was using the words "nation" and "country" interchangeably, so not in the definition you are using.

If you seek out a third opinion on Wikipedia, and whoever pitches in sides with you, then yes, you can certainly have your version back. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 02:32, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

The film's Telugu title is Veedevadu and the Tamil title is Yaar Ivan?. Since V is before Y, Telugu should be listed first. DareshMohan (talk) 09:12, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi @DareshMohan, I encourage you to start conversations with a greeting—this puts people at ease, makes you seem less combative, and is conducive to a friendly discussion.

I'm not sure your point is valid. Is there a rule somewhere on Wikipedia that supports your reasoning? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 15:13, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Sorry. I just remember that if two films are released on the same date, the one that comes first alphabetically is listed first. DareshMohan (talk) 21:00, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Can you show me where you saw that? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 00:51, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

Can't seem to find it -- it should be at WP:ACTOR#Filmography tables. Where can I ask this question -- if two films are released on the same date what is the protocol? DareshMohan (talk) 03:12, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

@DareshMohan, have you tried asking at the Teahouse? WP:Teahouse/About

Sorry for my tone earlier. I asked at Wikipedia:Teahouse#Language. The person there said that "put the primary language first". The title Veedevadu is Telugu and this review proves that Telugu is predominant by saying that the Tamil version is "dubbed". DareshMohan (talk) 11:00, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

@DareshMohan, that sounds good. Thanks for the acknowledgment and for verifying this. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 15:27, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Emanuela Orlandi

Please explain why you removed a completely accurate and fully cited contribution I made, claiming it was poorly sourced. (description of how the family tried to report the disappearance to the police and spent the night looking for Emanuela). Family members of the missing girl have made exactly the same comments several times on Italian TV. This is a widespread problem with Wikipedia, I know eminent scientists who have had Wikipedia contributions removed by "editors" who knew very little about the subject. DH987 (talk) 17:18, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

@DH987 First things first, I'll let you know that I don't appreciate the tone with which you've approached me. The very least that I expect of another editor is a basic greeting. Second, by using quotation marks, you call into question my credibility as an editor. I haven't harmed you in any way, so you have no reason to be disrespectful and combative towards me.

Your anecdote about eminent scientists is not relevant here if your intention is to demonstrate that I was mistaken in reverting your edit.

I checked the revert you are referring to, and it is possible I overlooked the second reference you used. The first one appears to be a book, but there is no way for a reader to reference the claim you make, that is why I called it poorly sourced. You are welcome to replace the second one, as long as it accurately supports your edit. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 22:52, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Apologies if I seemed too direct. The point is that I feel people should limit their editorial work to subjects with which they are familiar. I would also regard it as impolite to remove other people's work when it adds to the story. I could also add the recent Netflix documentary as another source which describes the events of that day.. DH987 (talk) 00:14, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

@DH987 Thank you for acknowledging. Unfortunately, given that Wikipedia editors are volunteers who come from all walks of life, if everyone limited their editorial work to subjects they are familiar with, I suspect the encyclopedia would be in far worse shape than it is now. As things stand, mistakes are made occasionally, but usually, they are easy to fix; all it takes is dialogue.

The point is not that your work was removed despite adding to the story; it was removed because it wasn't deemed credible.

I don't think a documentary film is considered to be a reliable source on Wikipedia. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 01:17, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I couldn't disagree more. Wikipedia would be in a much better shape if people only edited areas they knew about and didn't treat the website as a hobby. You say my contribution was removed because it was not "deemed credible". "Deemed credible" by whom? By you? Anyone who has followed this story (a large part of the population of Italy) would know that what I wrote was true. The documentary film has interviews with the brother, sister and cousin of Emanuela who describe what happened on the day of her disappearance. In what way is your opinion more credible than theirs? Is anyone's account more credible than theirs? I myself have seen accurate, but poorly referenced work on Wikipedia and instead of deleting it found a citation to add to it. I would not delete something if I didn't know whether it was true or not. If you think a source can be found, but you do not wish to supply one yourself, you can add the template {{fact}} ({{cn}} will also work) after the statement, which will add [citation needed]. This will encourage someone, often the editor who initially added the statement, to add a citation for the information. Documentary films are regarded as acceptable references by Wikipedia if (as in this case) they include accounts given by reliable witnesses (the family members).

Re the comment I made before about scientists. This is the real weakness of Wikipedia - To give a real example; an eminent scientist with important research, numerous publications etc. makes a contribution on his area of expertise in order to improve Wikipedia - an editor (with only basic knowledge of the subject matter) removes it - This happens repeatedly. The scientist thinks "Is it worth the bother?" and stops contributing to Wikipedia. I won't repeat the term he used to refer to over zealous editors, but I hope you get the drift.

My reference to the book was also correct, but incomplete (no page number) - the page could however easily be found by anyone who has the book, DH987 (talk) 21:14, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

@DH987 People with real expertise are statistically rare, so if only that rare group of people ever contributed to Wikipedia, there wouldn't be much content on the platform. Sure, it isn't perfect, but it's still the best encyclopedia that has ever existed, despite the occasional glitch, such as what we are currently experiencing.

Wikipedia has standards according to which a documentary film is not deemed to be a reliable source of information, as far as I know. You don't have to agree with this (I do) but that standard was established over countless hours of discussion, so it must stand for something. Besides, I'm sure you realize that documentaries are seldom entirely truthful or reliable.

As for adding a citation instead of deleting content, you are a better editor than I am for doing that. No editor is under the obligation of sourcing references for unsourced or improperly sourced content, and that's generally the approach I take. It's not the way I wish to invest my time, but again, if that's what you wish to do, more power to you.

I'm aware of the cn tag, I use it quite frequently, but I would argue that reverting or deleting someone's improperly added content is just as much encouragement to do better next time.

Going back to your scientist anecdote, as I said last time, that's all that is—anecdote. I mean no offense to you, but I'm not aware of this being a significant problem. Perhaps if it becomes one, policies will be put in place to stem the exodus of eminent scientists who are discouraged from contributing to Wikipedia. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 03:48, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

I see you have been in contact with another (Italian) contributor and, I believe have restored some material you had edited out. If so that is positive. Re the comment that documentaries are not regarded by Wikipedia as reliable, I'm afraid you are in error; please refer to Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Let me put a simple direct question to you. If your 15 year old daughter or sister disappeared one day and you never saw her again (heaven forbid!) - don't you think that you yourself and your family members would be reliable sources of information about what happened immediately after you realised she was missing? If you were interviewed for a documentary, wouldn't that documentary become a much more reliable source because they were interviewing you and your family rather than random members of the public? To hear your very words and see the look of sincerity in your eyes is surely more reliable than to read a brief written account in a newspaper. DH987 (talk) 19:57, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

@DH987 I don't mean to be contrarian, but as you may or may not be aware, eyewitness testimony is possibly the least reliable kind of testimony, so as compelling as your suggested scenario is, I don't think that Emanuela's family are by definition more reliable sources than an investigative journalist, for example. I'm not saying they're not, either, but my point is that you can't rely on what people tell you based on what they remember. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 02:39, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but you are not being entirely reasonable The details I gave of what happened that night were basic events which are easily remembered. This is not at all the same as eyewitness reports of an accident or a crime, where it is indeed likely that some details will be inaccurate. This is a different situation. A family who remember what happened on the night their sister/cousin/daughter disappeared may not remember all the details of what happened before they realised she was missing, but they will certainly remember the outline of what they did after they became aware. They are the most reliable sources available for what happened that night, because apart from the presumed kidnappers and accomplices, they were the only people directly involved at that point. The family are more concerned than anybody else to report things accurately, as they really desperately want to know what happened to Emanuela and why. Unlike others they have no sordid ulterior motives (protecting reputations, cruelty, notoriety, money - or whatever has motivated other actors in this story) I will check when I have time and make sure the material I added (or equivalent) is in place with appropriate citations. If it is edited out again I suppose I can either ask an admin to intervene or give up on it. DH987 (talk) 21:40, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

@DH987 I'm happy to continue having this conversation with you, and ideally, to find a compromise, but not if you're going to cast aspersions on me. I try my best to be as reasonable as possible. I'm not perfect, and neither are you. You could have said everything you just said in your last comment without calling me unreasonable. Can you try to avoid doing that in the future? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 01:37, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

Dear Revirvlkodlaku,

I'm the user who in this days added informations to the Disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi article. With all the respect and collaboration, I really do not understand why you deleted many informations accompained by certified sources. I really do not understand which is the criterion. Those are not low-relevance informations. They are key-role informations about the whole Orlandi case.

For the "Cardinal Poletti part" the source is even the Italian Minister of Interior. What do you want more?

For the "Emanuela 's friend testimony about sex scandal theory" we could say that the source is the Netflix serie itself (the first to publish that interview), but I added also a newspaper which reported the new. What's more? You left the Father Amorth part, which is a less reliable source (maybe it's just an Amorth's personal fantasy) and could be a mere Amorth's speculation, but you deleted a certified key testimony of the whole case (Emanuela's best friend)? What is the criterion?

You targeted the informations I added as "low-relevance". Maybe you do not have a whole view of the tragic Orlandi case. The informations I reported are far away from beign low-relevance. They are parts of fundamental elements, without which maybe the case would have been dropped years ago.

I can understand that this is a sensitive subject. The Orlandi case is such complex that in 40 years we had so many other speculations, elements and tracks and we can't add them all. I can understand that. Many of them have been proven false or not reliables. I think I know how Wikipedia works. I have been collaborating with it for a while now. I know we have to be very carefull on what we write. For example, I would never add Marco Accetti's trail (who claimed to be the kidnapper of Emanuela) because he is considered not very reliable (althought he was very very important in the investigations) and now it would be low relevance. But the few informations I added (De Pedis' favor to Cardinal Poletti part, Emanuela's friend testimony and the recent audio published last December) are some of the few elements considered to be very important and credibles. And I accompanied them with reliable sources (major newspapers). Again, I do not understand the criterion of "This one yes, this one no".

The lack of these fundamental informations does not allow to have a clear view of the Orlandi case, which is very very important. Especially now.

Best regards and thank you

Giovanni

Hi Giovanni, I can see why my deletions would be frustrating to you. I'm not very familiar with the topic itself, so my edits on it are not personal, nor is the subject matter sensitive to me. All I've tried to do is to clean up the article and keep it free from unhelpful edits. I'm not entirely sure which of my reverts or deletions you are referring to (it would be helpful if you provided diffs), and as far as I know, I wasn't the first editor to delete the section about the sex scandal theory resurfacing. After it was first removed, under the basis that it was not referenced with reliable sources (I believe citations were from the Sun, which is a tabloid), I merely made sure to keep the same content off the page, as some unregistered user(s) insisted on re-adding it—perhaps that was you? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 20:48, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for reply. Yes, it was me all the times (althought I see right now I am not the only one to edit Orlandi's article in these days, the reference is to the user who write before me in this Talk about the same matter). I thought that despite I am not registered on Wikipedia, the "User number" would be still the same and so it was easy to see that it was always the same person. Maybe I was wrong. I am still unregistered on Wikipedia, but I edit on it often. In all these years I have learned to respect and follow the policies as best I can.

Anyway.

Yes, I saw that the first time you deleted my "sex scandal theory resurfacing" was because the reference I added was from a tabloid (so not a very riable source). My mistake. I later re-integrated the paragraph, but this time with a reference that was already present on the article from Newsweek (note [8], What Happened to Emanuela Orlandi?". Newsweek. 21 October 2022. Retrieved 24 October 2022). The others informations you deleted I was referencing to were the one I added in this version [[1]]. Sorry for my rough link. I don't know if there is an ordinary way to insert the link of the revisions. I hope you can find it.

The versions I added and that you deleted in that version were very important elements of the case, and I added them with articles from important newspapers.

If you will not able to see the revert/deletions page with the rude link I sent, I could re-integrated the informations in the article and then you could examine them. Tell me how do you prefer to do.

Thanks again for your disponibility

Giovanni 2.36.99.140 (talk) 21:22, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

@2.36.99.140 Giovanni, while it is true that your user number demonstrates consistent authorship, I do encourage you to become a registered user, as this not only makes it easier for others to communicate with you, but in my opinion, gives you more credibility on this platform.

The second and subsequent times the "sex scandal theory resurfacing" content was added, I didn't check if the reference had been improved, so that is on me.

The diff you've provided is good enough, thank you. I think the reason I removed that content was because I didn't consider it sufficiently important and additionally, since I was already biased against an unregistered user who insisted on reinserting content I had removed more than once, my willingness to peruse it more closely was limited. It seems to me that one could write endlessly on this topic and include any number of details, but not all of them will be equally relevant, and surely, not all detail needs to be mentioned on a Wikipedia page, would you agree? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 22:30, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

@Revirvlkodlaku Well, yes, of course I agree. Especially on topics such as this, we have to carefully choose what to publish and what can be omitted. As I said, the Orlandi case created so many informations,

alleged clues, speculations, false tracks and so on, that moving inside this case is very difficult. I agree with you that sometimes, writing too much in the name of transparency and completeness, can lead to the opposite effect. It can be confusing and thus, not only not helpful, but even harmful. Nevertheless I do believe that the informations I added are very very important. Just consider that two of those elements (Emanuela's friend testimony and the audio) are very probably the reason why Italian and (for the firts time in forty years) Vatican authorities decided to re-open investigations. So, I do believe these information are worth to be added.

So, it's ok for you if in the next hours I'm gonna reinsert these informations (De Pedis'favor to Cardinal Poletti, Emanuela's friend testimony and the audio with the proper sources) in the article? It would be very important. Let me know. If you agree, I will write in the Edit summary "Reinsert by Giovanni", so you will know they will be my modifications and not someone else's. In the next days I will also consider to become a registered user, in order to avoid to repeat this inconvenience again. Thansk for the advice on the matter.

While I'm at it, I would like to ask your opinion on the idea of insert some images in the Emanuela Orlandi's article. I do believe that the proper one would be the missing poster of Emanuela (just search on internet, it's very famous), which since her disappearance has become the symbol of this whole case. In the days after she desappeared, Rome was literally covered with that type of poster. It was everywhere. Maybe it could be added in the infobox. I thought it might be a good idea. Let me know.

Thanks again

Giovanni 2.36.99.140 (talk) 00:22, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

@2.36.99.140 Giovanni, it sounds like we are mostly on the same page, which is always gratifying. I'm glad we were able to get to this place through dialogue 🙂

Yes, please go ahead and make the additions; I appreciate the thorough explanation on your part.

As for images, I think that's a great idea. The important thing is to make sure that you have all the necessary permissions to add any image to Wikimedia, but once that is satisfied, I definitely agree that the article could benefit from more visual and familiar aspects of the case. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 02:21, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

@Revirvlkodlaku I just now reinserted the informations with proper sources, writing "Reinsert by Giovanni" in the Edit summary, so you will see it was me.

Thank you very much for your disposability and collaboration. I appriciate that.

Glad we agree. As I said, I have been in the "Wikipedia world" for a while now, so I perfectly know that often you have to deal with so many people who claims to have the right to write "whatever they want" on anything, ignoring source policies and so on, and then they ask you why but without basic resepct, almost attacking you. For this reason, I say thank you for your editor work (that also takes away time from you personal life). It's a very difficult role. Especially in and Encyclopedia that anyone in the entire World can edit. Your work is fundamental. Thank you for that.

As for images, if I am not wrog, once I am registered on Wikipedia I should be able to add them. Isn't it?

Thanks again for you time

Giovanni 2.36.99.140 (talk) 08:17, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for acknowledging my input on Wikipedia. The work we all put into this monumental endeavour is tireless and seldom goes recognized, and I think it's important, in the very least, that the community be recognizant to its members, and for us to express this to each other once in a while :)

I'm not too sure what is required for adding images, as I haven't tried doing so myself, but I do believe it should be relatively easy for you to do as a registered user. All the best! Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 14:14, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello,

Some changes I made today to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Howard_Redekopp&direction=next&oldid=1138509649 were reverted by a script of yours. Presumably these changes were due to number styles, but they don't appear to have made changes to numbers. The changes removed links I had added.

If there is a style problem with the links I added, please help me understand. Thank you. Bartsch Labs (talk) 05:36, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Bartsch Labs, the links you are referring to were not removed by the script, I removed them manually.

Thanks for your help copyediting this page. In case you weren't aware, I just wanted to let you know that the term 'series' is preferred for runs of episodes of television shows in Britain (rather than 'season'), and per the MOS should be changed back to series.

Autorickshaw

Hi there - I noted that you re-added the stub tag to Autorickshaw (band), which is fine, but you should also change the assessment on the article's talk page as well. PKT(alk) 15:47, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi PK, thanks for pointing that out. Out of curiosity, why did you remove the stub tag from the article? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 16:15, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

I think the article is close enough to 'start'. It's got an infobox and a fair amount of referencing. But it is rather short on content, so it's a really close call between start class and stub class. PKT(alk) 19:41, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

@PK I don't disagree with you, actually. What would be the cutoff for you in terms of labelling this a stub? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 00:00, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello again Revirvlkodlaku - you know what, it's a classic grey area. There's no 'cutoff point'. I guess I'd put it this way: the article is short, and therefore a stub at this time. If somebody adds more info about the band, it might be enough to tip it into class=start. I'd also add that it's really good to see that somebody added references the way they did. I've seen many articles that are longer but unreferenced, so I left them as stubs. Regards, PKT(alk) 00:41, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

I fail to see how Mishra being genderqueer and polyamorous are low relevance 1^infy (talk) 16:05, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello @1^infy, let's first establish a framework for communicating on Wikipedia. In most human interactions, courtesy is key, and Wikipedia is no different. I would appreciate it if you could approach this conversation with a basic amount of politeness. I am more than happy to engage in a dialogue with you on this topic, but the way to do that is not by reverting back after you have been reverted. On Wikipedia, the rule is Bold, Revert, Discuss. You made a bold edit, I reverted it, and the next step for you is to discuss it. Not on my talk page, however, on the article talk page. I disagree with your edit, so I'm going to remove the content you added, but please, let's discuss it in a civil manner. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 17:09, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Apologies, I have made a topic on the wiki page for White Town, I'm new to editing on here 1^infy (talk) 17:18, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

@1^infy, that's fine, I can see you're quite new, so no harm done. I'll take a look at the discussion in a few hours, thanks. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 17:28, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Debustrol moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Debustrol, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:16, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Requesting assistance

Hello friend,

I hope you're doing well! I wanted to inquire if you would be open to supporting me in an effort to improve the Direct Relief article. I am looking into trying to include more information and potentially restructuring portions of this article and I think your expertise in proofreading and expanding it could be helpful! And of course, always open to any comments/suggestions. :) RealPharmer3 (talk) 14:54, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi @RealPharmer3, long time no speak! How's the Sadhguru page looking these days?

Sure, I'll be happy to take a look at Direct Relief. For the time being, I'll restrict my input to proofreading the page, and we can discuss things further once that's done, ok? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 00:02, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Amazing! Sounds good to me!! Looking forward to it. And as far as the Sadhguru article goes - I've been keeping an eye on it from time to time, but I haven't been actively editing there. RealPharmer3 (talk) 05:02, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

About the revert on the Rain

Hi friend,

Just asking why did you revert my edit? We didn't see Lea's mom's body, so we can't assume she's dead. HiGuys69420 (talk) 03:21, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi @HiGuys69420, I don't recall the details of the show very well, but it doesn't seem like an important qualification, that's why I removed it. If her mother is no longer part of the story after being exposed to the rain, it would stand to reason that she died, no? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 04:25, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

ok u make a good point thank you for replying HiGuys69420 (talk) 13:56, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

In addition, we don't know if she's gonna suddenly appear in the next season, so we should leave her as dead unless she suddenly appears. HiGuys69420 (talk) 21:47, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

@HiGuys69420, lol, I can't tell if you're joking or not. There's no next season...Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 22:01, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

@HiGuys69420, haha, it's not a zombie show. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 05:19, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

ye i know and now i know that if a character's body isn't shown, they're presumed dead UNLESS the show is over, by which point they're dead for sure. HiGuys69420 (talk) 04:22, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

@HiGuys69420, here, again, I'm not sure if you're joking. I don't think there is any rule that presumes a character is dead if their body isn't shown...Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 04:25, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

deleting source history

Hello. I have been fixing up the Wiki for Alberto Rigoni and noticed you modified a lot of the text and deleted a bunch of sources. Any reason why? What counts for reliable sources? I have been trying to fix these issues. I see nothing wrong with some of these source pages that I have been adding.

Thanks 159.196.97.13 (talk) 10:37, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for bringing my attention to this. I had overlooked the references you included in your edits, and these appeared of low quality to me, so I reverted wholesale. I have gone ahead and re-added the references. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 14:16, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

References

Please be certain to add references to all the restored content at Tři sestry (Czech band). This is very important for all the names of persons in the article (see WP:BLP). There is no need to add a reference to each entry if a note at the top of the section will source many entries. Others may need an individual reference for the name. I'm certain you would not want anyone to add any name to the article, this is why references are so important. Do not feel rushed, but it should be done within a reasonably short period of time or show steady progress towards completion.

Luna and Sophie

This "nonsense" is a version of SOKO Potsdam with English subtitles. Did you bother to look it up before reverting? Assambrew (talk) 17:56, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Assambrew, apologies for the aggressive comment in my edit summary, that was unnecessary. I also acknowledge that you are a relatively new user, so perhaps that explains the edit you made.

You cannot simply add content to an article without providing a reference. It is not my responsibility to look up whatever is added to the over 2,500 articles on my watchlist; rather, the onus is on you to make sure the edit is referenced and sufficiently summarized. If you do neither, be prepared to have your edits reverted. When that happens, don't take it as a personal slight, but learn from it. Cheers. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 19:17, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Actually I've been an editor for 15 years or so, only 3 years under this handle. I thought my edit was a useful addition, but agree it was lazy of me not to include a reference. I'm still feeling lazy, so will leave it alone. Anyway thanks for the feedback. Cheers.. Assambrew (talk) 00:54, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Tribes of Europa usage of World War II uprising and genocide memorial

Hi, I just noticed your intervention into my original edit related to German sci-fi television series Tribes of Europa usage of the Monument to the uprising of the people of Kordun and Banija. While I would like to thank you for your interest in the topic and commitment to NPOV description my strong impression is that most probably unintentionally you have removed some of the central issues in the controversy related to the wider practice of devastation of antifascist monuments in Croatia, decontextualization of the memory to the Genocide of Serbs in the Independent State of Croatia & Yugoslav Partisan uprising (the fact that nothing of that is visible in the show despite of their usage of that location) and for-profit appropriation of such a location. Also, currently inserted last sentence notes only some potentially positive interventions in the memorial, but does not at all mention the fact that some negative show-related interventions remained in place after they left. To avoid any non-productive edit disagreements and my request for further feedback from the community I wanted to assume only your best intentions. I therefore ask you to take another look at your edit and to reinsert some aspects which I consider absolutely central to the whole controversy (you may learn more in the English language article used as a reference). I also believe that there was nothing really non-NPOV in calling the whole discussion a controversy since it was that exactly. Best regards.--MirkoS18 (talk) 18:24, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

One more thing, it may also be justified to name the people who criticized the show as the current version with the word SOME, gives me almost some undertone that there will always be someone who will complain. One of the main critics was Bojana Videkanić from the University of Waterloo (here is her English version text) and it was also criticized in major Croatian newspaper such as Jutarnji list, Večernji list and Serb magazine Novosti (Croatia) among others.--MirkoS18 (talk) 18:35, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi @MirkoS18, thanks for bringing this to my attention instead of reverting, and thank you also for acknowledging my good intentions. I sympathize with your motive, but my concern is that the controversial aspects of the usage of this memorial are quite subjective, and certainly, their meaning and symbolism is purely subjective, especially with respect to World War II, genocide, etc. Due to the subjective nature of the objections to the use—or perhaps misuse, as you would have it—of this memorial for filming a production that in no way honours the purpose of this memorial, and given the fact that the article, as everything else on Wikipedia, is intended to be presented in an encyclopedic manner, I don't think this type of opinion-based analysis is appropriate. I suppose you could present the opinions as being strictly those of the reference authors, but I'm not sure how representative those would be of any actual controversy and how much relevance this therefore bears on the topic of the article. Essentially, what I'm trying to say is that I think this is a storm in a teacup, whereas you seem to be suggesting it's much more than that, and ultimately, that's a subject that should be thoroughly discussed on the talk page. Let me know your thoughts. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 21:25, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Yes, I am suggesting exactly that based on the fact that it was addressed in the leading mainstream media in the country were the shooting took place, sometimes with very strong titles (for example in Večernji list reference, which is particularly interesting to me considering that the newspaper in question is generally considered to be conservative). In the interest of NPOV we should definitely present it as the opinions of those of the reference authors (not as washed down "some (marginal) people complaining (for the complaint sake)" and who knows why.), we should then present it honestly. If there was the answer it should be presented as well, as much as I can see they focused on the fact that they got permission. I certainly can understand how subjective it can be. I for example certainly have some sort of physical reaction of repulsion, but that would certainly not make for a good encyclopaedic content. On the other hand, it would hardly be a storm in a teacup, this sounding almost orientalist and given only because the location is not close enough (imagine some comparable closer places). But subjective part will remain subjective and we should not advocate for the opposing sides. People will look into this article not only to learn about the content of the series but also to learn about the social reaction to it. This controversy is one of the major reactions which should be addressed in a better way than it is right now. Until recently our readers would not learn anything about it from the corresponding Wikipedia page. You felt my initial contribution required intervention as it went to far in one direction. I think that you went to far in the opposite direction so I would really appreciate if you can try to do some more balanced re-evaluation which will ensure strong NPOV but will not try to minimize the reaction and present it without any specific details.--MirkoS18 (talk) 22:14, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Also, if we can't reach some easy agreement directly here there is of course no trouble in asking someone else to share their insight by moving it to the talk page and inviting people from the relevant projects.--MirkoS18 (talk) 23:02, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

@MirkoS18, fair enough, I acknowledge that if, as you say, the issue received significant media attention (the references you originally provided don't suggest this), then it would justify a more balanced account. Since you are the one who took the initiative to introduce this aspect to the article, perhaps you could try to refine the perspective presented so that it is more balanced.

I will add that I already suggested we discuss this on the article talk page rather than on my user page, and I wouldn't be opposed to shifting this conversation there to get additional opinions on the topic. Cheers. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 00:55, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Emanuela Orlandi redux

Dear Revirvlkodlaku,

I'm Giovanni, the same user that a few months ago (January 2023) wrote to you to talk about some edits I made back then on Emanuela Orlandi's article. I don't know if you remember. You can find our conversation on this talk page in the section "Emanuela Orlandi".

Anyway, I write to you now because a few hours ago I added new elements to the page involving very important aspects of the Orlandi case (Turkesh, the role of the Vatican and Tommaso Nelli's book report). I see now that you removed them and you said to "discuss on talk page if you believe this is an error". Well, I believe that the elements I added were (are) very important and I can assure you the sources are major Italian newspapers. The articles I mentioned are from the same major newspapers already used for other sources in the article. They were not tabloids or dubious sites. So, I honestly believe those elemnts have to be added to the page. The only thing I leave to uou to handle it's the grammar form. Maybe you noticed that my English is not perfect ;-) So it would be better if you check the grammar form of my adds.

Let me know if you agree. Thank you very much.

Best regards

Giovanni

Hi Giovanni, thanks for reaching out. Yes, I do remember you. It would be helpful if you registered as a WP user, as this would make communication easier, and it would help me (and other users) recognize the source of your edits.

Cosmo Sheldrake and the difference between eps and albums.

Hey Revirvlkodlaku

I was wondering what the difference between an album and EP is. I put the new Cosmo Sheldrake release under albums because when I searched it up this was the top result saying EP's are 4-6 songs and have a runtime of 15-22 mins(but can be up to 30 minutes) and an album has 7-29 tracks and has a run time of roughly 35-60 mins. Wild Wet World is considered an album by my streaming service (youtube music) which does differentiate between albums and EP's. Just asking you so I don't misscatagorize an a release again Clypeus13 (talk) 15:28, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Clypeus13, thanks for reaching out. According to Apple Music, Wild Wet World is only 21 minutes long, which would make it an EP. Hope that helps :) Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 15:56, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Icelandic name categories

Hi Revi, My understanding is that Icelandic names should have the first name in Icelandic categories, for example Category:Male actors from Reykjavík should be sorted on the first name:

• I amended Þröstur Leó Gunnarsson to so that they should be under T (not G)

For Category:Icelandic male television actors the first names should be in ordered.

• I amended Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, do that they should appear under H (not B)

Am I doing something wrong? Thanks GrahamHardy (talk) 17:00, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi GrahamHardy, thanks for the explanation. I've never encountered this in any context, and it seemed redundant to me, as the end result is the same, that's why I reverted you. What was the reason you found for adding piped Icelandic names to categories this way? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 03:53, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

I am confused! Looking at Þröstur Leó Gunnarsson, he is in Category:Icelandic male television actors. Before 30th April he had 'DEFAULTSORT:Gunnarsson, Throstur Leo' without any sort changes, so he was in the category and was sorted under G. So on 30th April I added Throstur Leo Gunnarsson, that made him appear in the category, sorted under T. So I did not amend the DEFAULTSORT, I just changed the sort on Icelandic categories. The changes I made is not redundant as all Icelandic names categories should be sorted under their given name, not their paternal name, so I changed his category from G to T for all his Icelandic categories. Please see WP:NAMESORT for an explanation. GrahamHardy (talk) 08:17, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

GrahamHardy, are you talking about DEFAULTSORT or piped categories? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 10:43, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

I have not changed the DEFAULTSORT, I have only changed Icelandic piped categories (I think!) GrahamHardy (talk) 11:12, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

GrahamHardy, you did change DEFAULTSORT here: [2], but I'm more interested in the piped category edits you've been making. Could you point me to where in the MOS it indicates that this should be done? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 13:12, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

I think that everything should be in WP:NAMESORT, just look for Icelandic names... GrahamHardy (talk) 15:33, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Cut-and-paste move

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Alive N Kickin' a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 16:28, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Cost overrun

Hi. At Jordan Mechner, you decided to remove the internal link to cost overrun. Which, going by your edit summary, you see as a "general fix". My guess is that you think it's too basic terminology to link to. Is it though? What if the reader wants to read more about budget overruns. Isn't the whole point of internal links to allow the reader to continue reading about a subject they're interested in. I was, and I had to look up cost overrun manually. --2001:1C06:19CA:D600:3060:85B9:F93C:5305 (talk) 16:46, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, it's not so much that I think "cost overrun" is too basic—although there's that, too. Rather, it's the fact that one can't link everything that a reader might want to look up. Generally, linking is restricted to topics considered less than familiar or self-explanatory, but of course, there's always a degree of discretion involved. Obviously, it wasn't difficult for you to look up cost overruns manually, so I don't think it's that big of a deal. Cheers!Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 02:57, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

You welcome @Revirvlkodlaku, plus I'm glad I could help Binchigo (talk) 10:51, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Binchigo, what's this related to? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 13:47, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Please contextualize, so people don't have to wonder why you're messaging them randomly 😉 Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 13:56, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Got it😂😂. Well, I'm somewhat new to how the site works, so it's safe to say I'm still finding my way around. I guess I just got a useful tip on how not to go about giving comment(s)🤓🤓 Binchigo (talk) 14:08, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Haha, no worries at all. I appreciate the fact that you took the time to write me a note 🙂 Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 14:41, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

@Helmut von Zeche, listen bud, you need to change your attitude. You can't go around posting abusive comments on other editors' pages just because you are dissatisfied that your sloppy edits got reverted.

Reverting my addition to Josh Joplin's discography

In addition to it being the name of the first single from the album, Figure Drawing is the name of the upcoming full length album by Josh Joplin and Among the Oak and Ash. I'm literally holding it in my hand. He sold it at his show last week in Atlanta, though it's not being widely released for a couple more months. It has 11 tracks on it. Josh himself mentions it in this podcast recorded before the show: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3YmRuCBOMRCCBFlPGa2rOz?si=eea281664ae742ff He also talks about the three songs released so far being the singles from the upcoming album on his facebook page. As such, I am putting the edit back. I was going to add a page for it, but I hadn't gotten around to it yet. -GamblinMonkey (talk) 19:44, 18 July 2023 (UTC)-GamblinMonkey (talk) 02:34, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello @GamblinMonkey. First some housekeeping: If you're going to post on my talk page, please be courteous; I'm sure a polite greeting wouldn't hurt. Additionally, this isn't a matter for a user talk page; if you disagree with my revert, you should start a thread on the article talk page—and not reinsert the same material I already removed once.

As for the point you are making—while I believe what you're saying, that is insufficient for an encyclopedia. I see no mention of this album anywhere online, so as far as I or anyone who hasn't it seen it with their own eyes is concerned, it doesn't exist. You've been on Wikipedia long enough to know that you need to support content with references, not claims of holding something in your hands. I don't mean to sound harsh, but you haven't gone about this the right away, which is irritating. Please do not reinsert the same content in the article until you can support it with a solid reference. Thanks. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 02:39, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't know what the best way to talk to another person was on here. I rarely edit wikipedia, and interactions like this are part of that reason. I added information on the talk page of the article. I'll stop bothering you. You can edit it back or leave it. I don't really care anymore. Have a nice day. -GamblinMonkey (talk) 03:02, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

You have a strange attitude, @GamblinMonkey. You start off really confident, and when you're asked to be a little more circumspect about your editing style, you throw your hands up and walk away. Why not try the middle route? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 03:06, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Your ANI request

hi Revi, please see my response to you at ANI. Additional suggestion; open up talk page discussions rather than continuing the revert. Once you do that, the other editor may collaborate more proactively. Thank you, Lourdes 08:32, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Rarities (The Presidents of the United States of America album)

I'm still not convinced that Rarities is notable. The AllMusic entry just confirms that it exists (no review or anything), and Discogs is unreliable as its content is user-submitted. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 02:09, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

@What did I screw up now?, that's fair, but I think the band's notability itself lends their material renown, wouldn't you say? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 03:15, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

Text Font Issue, in Stewart Brand Article

Hello Revirvlkodlaku. I know you are good with proofreading, line-editing, etc. There's a problem in the Stewart Brand article, in the CoEvoution Quarterly section. As will be noticed in the current iteration of the article, the following text is all in italics, and should not be: "Brand never better revealed his opinions and reason for hope than when he ran, in CoEvolution Quarterly #4, a transcription of technology historian Lewis Mumford's talk "The Next Transformation of Man", in which he stated that "man has still within him sufficient resources to alter the direction of modern civilization, for we then need no longer regard man as the passive victim of his own irreversible technological development."

Only the magazine title (CoEvolution Quarterly) should be italicized. But I've not been able to figure out how to correct this. Might you want to have a go at the problem?Joel Russ (talk) 23:36, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

@Joel Russ, it's fixed 😀 Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 02:54, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

Be cognizant of black hat tactics

Hello @Revirvlkodlaku You recently undid edits asserting they were sloppy and single-issue and personally motivated. You did not address any of the edits made, specifically one well sourced edit related to wrongly ascribing a quote to a person.

If a user on here goes to a biography and mischaracterizes a quote by a figure, that would be libelous. In this case, you need to take time to review the edits. For this specific issue with the quote, you need to go back and listen to the video if you take what you're doing seriously.

If you do further research you will see that there are a set of characters targeted in an ongoing influence campaign and counter-influence campaign.

I will move on to the others mentioned in these articles; however, this article stood out due to the sheer level of unprofessional and targeted edits such as the "Trojan Horse" quote.

The article has been clearly ransacked by black hat tactics by actors who think they're retaliating for the Subject's perceived role in assisting a black-hat effort by Alp Services.

Happy to discuss further, but I am urging you to research the edits before making broad, sweeping missives about the nature of the edits and their intention. Nerkersh (talk) 06:14, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

@Nerkersh you were correct to start a talk page discussion on the topic. However, reverting back after an editor has undone your edit constitutes edit warring, and that is not permitted on Wikipedia. I will monitor the talk page discussion and intercede when I feel necessary, but in the meantime, if you revert back again, I will report your behaviour as a case of disruptive editing. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 13:52, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

@RevirvlkodlakuOK. Thank you. What does this make of my edits? I reverted back because you summarily dismissed my edits without any review. The reason for the substantive edits is because this page appears to have already been ransacked.

At minimum, we need to discuss the Trojan Horse quote. After watching the hearing, do you still assess that the characterization made in the Wikipedia article is something consistent with the reality of what was said during the hearing?

Let's tackle this one first and move on to the rest. While keeping in mind, this page and potentially others are at the center of an influence campaign. Actor A who may have an interest in doing this to this page has as a grievance that Alp Services used black hat tactics to damage their reputation. So, in retaliation, it appears either Actor A or parties sympathetic with Actor A have retaliated with their own black hat tactics.

Regards Nerkersh (talk) 20:02, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

@RevirvlkodlakuI should clarify, the "black hat" tactics referenced is an allegation that Alp Services manipulated Wikipedia by editing the pages of their targets to intentionally mischaracterize or exaggerate allegations against them in a biased fashion. Thus, how Wikipedia articles are edited and how information is characterized is at the center of this. It means setting a precedent that that individuals involved in this such as Alp Services or Mr. Nada/potentially the Qataris who "hacked and leaked" Alp which does its own "hack and leak" can influence the general public by being first to edit Wikipedia articles of their targets and using citations that suit them. It sets a dangerous precedent if Wikipedia does not either monitor, do independent review, or close pages of individuals who are named as targets in influence campaigns. Nerkersh (talk) 20:06, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

@@Nerkersh, I have moved this discussion to the talk page it pertains to. Please take up the matter there, as I will be deleting this thread shortly. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 03:31, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Apostrophe Protection Society

Hello, I made a small edit to the Apostrophe Protection Society entry yesterday that you've since reverted. The changes were to make the introductory paragraph more relevant and up to date by noting the current chairman of the Apostrophe Protection Society (myself) and moving the reference to its founder to a new second paragraph to keep the legacy information separate from the current information. You've commented that there needs to be a reference source to justify this. If you refer to the APS home page you will see that I have been the chairman of the APS since early 2022, so I trust this is sufficient confirmation. Are you able to revert to my edited version, or do I need to re-submit?

Many thanks, Bob McCalden Chairman, Apostrophe Protection Society Apostrophe Bob (talk) 09:37, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Apostrophe Bob, this discussion belongs on the article talk page, not my user page, so I will move it there accordingly. In the future, please be sure to keep article-related discussions in their respective place. User talk pages should primarily be used for disputes between users and other personal matters. Cheers! Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 14:06, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

September 2023

Hi Revirvlkodlaku! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of an article several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Your persistent edit warring on Karl Deisseroth is incorrect per WP:BLP. Zenomonoz (talk) 07:57, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

@Zenomonoz, I'll point out that you are the one who started the edit war, not me. After I reverted you the first time, you should have started a talk page discussion (Bold–Revert–Discuss), but instead, you reverted back (Bold–Revert–Revert?), so please make sure not to point the finger at me when you are equally culpable.

I'm happy to have a discussion about this topic with you, but only if you avoid making false accusations. I will go ahead and respond to the talk page discussion you have started at Talk:Karl Deisseroth. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 14:04, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Agree, but to be clear, removing content that violates BLP editing policy is exempt from the definition of edit warring. Zenomonoz (talk) 21:32, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Penny Ford reverts

Thank you for the attaboy on Penny Ford. In the future, consider the possibility that the way you handle reverting might be encouraging the sorts of reactions that you find so displeasing. It's okay to revert, but its so much better to accompany that revert with a talk page section explaining your reasoning for the revert. Since it wasn't clearly vandalism in either place, providing more detail encourages good outcomes and collaboration. Simply reverting over and over encourages folk to respond negatively. I get that you're a Deletionist; I used to be one myself, back in the day. It gets lonely when you pit yourself against everyone else who seems to 'keep adding crap and cruft.' It took a while, but I eventually found it to be a hollow pursuit and an astonishing waste of my time (for which I was not getting paid for, I might add). So, I eventually landed onto the comfortable middle ground of Constructionism. If I see something that looks hinky, I don't just remove it; I check the source. If the source is hinky, I try to find a better source. If I can't, then the statement supported by it is gone, and I explain in detail why its gone - article discussion page explain, not the edit summary.

The edit summary is the Middle Finger of Wikipedia editing. More flame wars have started over some knucklehead acting like they are the smartest person in the room, and being quippy in the edit summary - completely unaware that they look like absolute tools when they do so. I am not saying you were intentionally doing that, but it is certainly how it came across.

That's why I am glad you sent a thank you; it indicates that you, too, may someday leave Deletionism behind and find a better way to edit in Wikipedia. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 04:54, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
