"Tracklist"

"Tracklist" is the incorrect header for the track list. It's "Track listing". This is per the album style guide, located here: WP:MOSALBUM --Jennica✿ / ^talk 04:10, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

Stop

Please stop with the edits on Whitmer's page. First off, the edits seem political and looking at your editing history it appears the only one you haven't edited in the Michigan Dem primary is El-Sayed. More than that, you've listed twice about something irrelevant. You randomly listing a fundraiser on her personal page as the only other thing listed in her gubernatorial run is suspicious editing. The page will be locked if you keep persisting in this edit. --Criticalthinker (talk) 04:35, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

@Criticalthinker: Please do not threaten me. I could just as easily accuse you of Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for whitewashing the article, but I will assume good faith just like you should. Could we at least mention the relation to BCBSM? It seems suspicious that you would want to remove this sourced information, so let's at least work on an agreement. Just leave the info about her father, not the funding she received.--WMrapids (talk) 04:55, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

I had absolutely no problem of you listing her father's work in the beginning part of the article. It's relevant background information. But your then mention of BCBS in the section no one has been editing shows bad faith and political bias as do you other edits in this race. I'm not sure who you are trying to fool. You added back the BCBS stuff at the end. If you think this is relevant information, than it can go in an appropriate "controversy" section or something on the main gubernatorial race page. Biographical pages aren't for listing random fundraisers and day-to-day or month-to-month occurences, and I think you know that. --Criticalthinker (talk) 05:09, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

@Criticalthinker: Well, can you add the details about her father? I did not see a reason to create a "controversy" section surrounding her funding. I have only just begun editing such articles and can add more to balance POV if needed. Thanks again for the quick response. --WMrapids (talk) 05:20, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Why can't you do it? You're the one who originally added the information and thus you have the proper citations and sourcing for it. --Criticalthinker (talk) 05:31, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

@Criticalthinker: Did not want to have it seem like edit warring.--WMrapids (talk) 05:42, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Spanish citation tags

Hi, could you kindly translate citations when you copy them over from other projects? Stuff like this is just plain unacceptable. Thanks. AngryHarpy‍^talk 07:30, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

@AngryHarpy: Of course! Didn't notice that the citations weren't translating properly. I apologize.--WMrapids (talk) 07:45, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Personally, ever since I noticed that reFill still puts deprecated |deadurl= tags in articles due to its creator having effectively abandoned it, I've learned to always double-check with those pesky tools. Sorry if I came across a little harshly! AngryHarpy‍^talk 08:14, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Anarchism

Hi WMrapids,

I saw your work on articles related to anarchism and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to watch our noticeboard for Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, which is a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!

And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider expanding a stub, adopting a cleanup category, or participating in one of our current formal discussions.

Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 23:09, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

• Hendrik Meijer (businessman) was absolutely fascinating—had no idea of his history! Thanks for writing it. Also, if you haven't already considered it, this would be a great candidate for WP:DYK. czar 23:09, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

@Czar: I thought it was interesting as well and was necessary to include. The article needs some expansion still, but overall Hendrik deserved his own page instead of a redirect. Thanks for the invite as well!--WMrapids (talk) 04:55, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Institute of Peruvian Studies moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Institute of Peruvian Studies, 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. 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.

Killing of Patrick Lyoya

Quote:

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Killing of Patrick Lyoya. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use your sandbox. In your edit here, you incorrectly add that the officer shot Lyoya "[a]fter losing control of the taser". This was not found in any of the included sources and is borderline vandalism. Please be careful with further edits on controversial articles.--WMrapids (talk) 21:10, 20 April 2022 (UTC)}}

WMrapids, I have tried to engage you on the talk page in an effort to bring a more Wikipedia:Neutral point of view to the above article and to encourage you to stay focused on the incident at hand and not make the article about "social justice".

I backed away when you engaged in WP:EDITWARING as you repeatedly reverted my edits and the edits of others. At the time of your posting above, you edits made up 85% of the article content.

When the investigative reports come out (and I'll wait for that),

we will know if your claim was correct: the officer is seen pushing Lyoya face-down with his knee and then shooting Lyoya in the back of the head

or if my claim my was correct After losing control of the taser, the officer draws his service weapon which discharges as the two are scuffling.

If there are videos recording an incident in an article, we certainly have a practical obligation to consider challenges to content that are obviously inconstant with the video.Wiki-psyc (talk) 17:07, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

The edit warring [WP:EDITWAR] has been going on for weeks now. I have put together a case to present to the Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring with myself and others. I really don't want a confrontation with you (or anyone), we are upposed to be brothers writing fair and balanced articles. So I will ask, one last time, to please stop edit warring. Wiki-psyc (talk) 22:21, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

@Wiki-psyc: I have been trying to work with you, but with your addition of false information and your copyright violation edits, it has made it difficult. My last edit had even tried to make it neutral while incorporating what you intended to place. Not sure if you are recognizing that your edits have been troublesome, but I am trying to keep a highly controversial article neutral and accurate.--WMrapids (talk) 00:51, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

Your changes to my edits on the article for the “2022-2023 Peruvian political protests”

Hello, I was wondering why you reverted the vast majority of my edits on 1/21/23? I am especially confused by the tonal and phrasal changes I made having all been reverted, did I make a mistake with them? Thank you. TheStarOfTheNorth006 (talk) 16:12, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

@TheStarOfTheNorth006: Yeah, there were some errors made. Also, a lot of "specify" tags present in areas that were already pretty concise. Are there any major changes that you think need to be included? I can try to help you with those concerns.--WMrapids (talk) 16:42, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

I thought my specify tags were appropriate? “Mining guilds” is a vague plural term that should at least have a sub-list of known participants. And I marked the charge of “severe injury” because it isn’t clear what that means in the context of local law. And shouldn’t “Riot” be crosslinked in the infobox section for “methods”? I was just overall puzzled by many of your reversions, partially because you didn’t write a very comprehensive edit summary. Thank you for responding so quickly. TheStarOfTheNorth006 (talk) 18:49, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

@TheStarOfTheNorth006: I removed the mining guilds since it could not be specified. Also updated the methods in the infobox. The severe injury wording is just how it is presented in the source and an explanation of a local law would probably be to cumbersome for readers. Any other concerns?--WMrapids (talk) 19:59, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Oumar Dia (disambiguation)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Oumar Dia (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
• disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
• is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Plan Verde into Alberto Fujimori. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 11:36, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Again, on 2022 Peruvian political crisis — Diannaa (talk) 21:03, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

@Diannaa: I apologize and I think I know which edit it was (forgot that it was copied since I provided different sources). If you look at my history, you can see that I have been attributing when necessary. Thanks for the reminder :)--WMrapids (talk) 00:43, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Excuse me for interfering

I have to tell you that I am not a puppet of anyone, this article simply appeared to me when I was looking for random articles with the Wikipedia function. Since I am someone from Peru, I was interested in the topic. Sorry for assuming things hastily. I only took a look at the edition history and saw that two users had contributed to the paragraph, and since your arguments did not convince me, I assumed that an edition war was going to start and that is why I tried to stop it. If the "reversal" seriously bothered you, I can delete the paragraph and you two discuss this. I have to say that I knew you from other articles about Peru where in general your reversals have bothered me, for his part I already knew the user Armando for more than a month and in general he is good at arguing, so I hastily gave him the reason.

I'm sorry I did that, I'm going to finish the paragraph right now. Alfredo18elguapo (talk) 21:26, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

I say that he also did not know that he had been blocked in Spanish, if so he would not have reversed it. Alfredo18elguapo (talk) 22:11, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

@Alfredo18elguapo: How would you know that another user did not know they were blocked on Spanish Wikipedia?--WMrapids (talk) 22:18, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

I just read it in Armando AZ's blocking discussion, I also answered there Alfredo18elguapo (talk) 22:22, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Fujimorist propaganda moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Fujimorist propaganda, 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. 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.

About Peruvian political crisis (2017–present)

Hey, Im ejrms. I've seen your edits on that aforementioned page. Could you maybe help me rewrite the article so it fits proper date format and also update it as well. I feel like the article needs some serious improvements and I can't really do it all by myself. Maybe you could help? Ejrms (talk) 01:25, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

@Ejrms: I made some edits to the template you created. Overall, a pretty good template. I have been looking at reviewing the article since it is so large. Thanks for reaching out! WMrapids (talk) 06:22, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Do you want something done about this editor's usename?
