We Can't Stop

Hi ShelfSkewed, its me, Plbds. I edited the page based on the portuguese version of it. The positions "We cant stop" reached in Brazi are being showed differently in both pages. Thats it, I was just trying to be true to the numbers of the portuguese page, and trying to help wikipedia with more information. Sorry if I did something wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Plbds (talk • contribs) 20:11, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Plbds: If you make a change like that to referenced material, you should provide a reliable source to replace the existing source. Since both articles claim that the information is based on a reference, it could just as easily be the case that it is the Portuguese article that is wrong.—ShelfSkewed Talk 20:23, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Plbds: I now think you are right. I looked at the histories of the songs you edited and found a pattern of Brazil chart positions changed without explanation 5 to 7 years ago. I have brought this to the attention of WikiProject Songs at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Songs#Brazil charts.—ShelfSkewed Talk 22:31, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Move request not reflecting

Hey I have added a move request on Modi Talk page but it's not reflecting on the article. Can you fix that, King?

AppuSunkad: All of that is handled by a bot, and I think it has already been done, although it can sometimes take 30 minutes or more until all the notices are in place.—ShelfSkewed Talk 16:10, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Black Cat (2007 film)

The article Black Cat (2007 film) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non notable film, appears to fail WP:NFILM as nothing of substance was found in a WP:BEFORE that could help support notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Userbox

Hi, I just visited your page after your contribution at Polonia Warsaw. I saw this userbox there:

Although this user enjoys collecting and counting things, this user also believes that users' edit counts do not necessarily reflect on the value of their contributions to Wikipedia.

And I really like it. I'd love to put it on my user page too instead of my current one that leads to my stats, but I feel like I'd be claiming ownership of it and I don't wanna do that. If you have the time, could you do a separate page for this userbox like the others? Only if it's not too much trouble, of course. --Samotny Wędrowiec (talk) 15:34, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

@Samotny Wędrowiec: Well, I just took the code from User:Will Pittenger/User Boxes/Edit Count Usefulness and added my own preamble to it, so I also can't claim complete authorship. As far as I'm concerned, you can feel free to take it and do whatever like with it. Cheers!—ShelfSkewed Talk 15:59, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

Oh, ok, nice! Thanks a lot. --Samotny Wędrowiec (talk) 16:20, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

Correcting wikilinks

Hello and thank you for your good work in improving wikilinks. You may be interested in WikiProject Bluelink patrol, where some of us co-ordinate similar work. Perhaps we can learn a few tricks from each other and ensure that we're concentrating on different areas rather than duplicating effort. For example, link targets I watch are listed in User:Certes/Backlinks, with a daily report in /Report. (Looks like I've duplicated only Arsenal from your Primary topics with bad incoming links.) Thanks again, Certes (talk) 14:40, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

@Certes:Thanks for the heads up. I was aware the project existed but hadn't looked into it. I will now, though.—ShelfSkewed Talk 16:59, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Welcome to WP:BPAT

Welcome to WP:BPAT! Can you help with the ambiguous links to college football seasons currently at DPwL? Such links keep cropping up, and I never know what to do with them. It's one of those areas where if you know you know, and if you don't know you don't know where to look. I think the links I listed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject American football#Ambiguous links to college football seasons have all now been resolved, but only after a reposting at Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation pages with links#College football. Best, Narky Blert (talk) 01:51, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

I'll take a look and see what I can do. I already see the issue with 1965 Quantico Marines Devil Dogs football team—unaffiliated independents who played mostly university division opponents but also played other unaffiliated schools.—ShelfSkewed Talk 02:26, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Here I Stand: A Life of Martin Luther

Hello, ShelfSkewed. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Here I Stand: A Life of Martin Luther, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 23:01, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Wp:namb

In this instance, whatever the point of the guideline is, for some people the two negatives cancel each other out, leading to the exact same meaning as if they weren't there. But for others, that may not be case, making the current version unnecessarily confusing, and the double-negatives basically superfluous. How does the affirmative version have any impact on the what the guideline is trying to say, as you see it, as opposed to your preferred version with the double-negatives? - wolf 22:48, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Obviously, article titles that are ambiguous require a hatnote, so simply repeating that is not helpful in this context. The guideline is about article titles that are not ambiguous, and whether and when they ought to be hatnoted. —ShelfSkewed Talk 23:38, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Here I Stand: A Life of Martin Luther

Hello, ShelfSkewed. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Here I Stand: A Life of Martin Luther".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:55, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

Help with DAB?

Hey, in regard to Majorana (disambiguation) I was about to remove the fermion's entry for being a WP:PTM, but that would mean forcing people to take further steps to find the page they're likely looking for (I don't actually know what the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Majorana" is). -- Aislinncostello (talk) 19:40, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Two possibilities: 1) Leave it as it is; the Majorana fermion article refers to the particles as just "Majoranas" at least twice, so it could be considered a legitimately ambiguous use. 2) Move the entry to the See also section, so users who land on the dab page could still navigate to the article without the extra step. (There is no primary topic for Majorana, BTW. If there were one, the dab page would use the title with (disambiguation).) Hope this helps! —ShelfSkewed Talk 21:33, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Clan Maclean

Re your recent edit - I think that the Macleans lost the lands of Urquhart, not just the castle, as your edit infers. Shipsview (talk) 12:45, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

@Shipsview:As I noted in my edit summary, my edit was based on the source cited for the paragraph— https://clanchattan.org.uk/clan-maclean/ — which refers specifically to Urquhart Castle. If this is misleading, please correct it. But Urquhart leads to a disambiguation page, so you will need to decide which specific article/redlink fits the context. Cheers!--—ShelfSkewed Talk 13:44, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Amrit Singh

Sure, but are they notable enough to be included in a dab page? Generally, we avoid mentioning the names of children in an article if there is no reason to do so. Adding it to a dab page is a tad excessive. --RegentsPark (comment) 20:51, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

@RegentsPark: Yes, in general I agree that a mere mention of a notable person's child's name doesn't merit a dab page entry. But the Manmohan Singh article includes a referenced biographical sentence about Amrit, and a Google search showed me that her public political activities are covered by the media to the extent that she may well have an article in the future. Also, the dab page only had one entry; a second entry gives that page a reason to exist.—ShelfSkewed Talk 04:29, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

No worries. I googled her and, yes, there is some notability. --RegentsPark (comment) 16:50, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

Why Bangladesh Football Federation logo is removing from Bangladesh national football team???

Hello!

Since a year, many of us Wikipedians trying to add logo of Bangladesh football federation.svg on Bangladesh national football team & Bangladesh women's national football team. But everytime someone is deleting showing the reason: It was removed in accordance with the non-free content policy, with which you are obligated to comply.

My question is If we can't use that public domain logo how Argentina, India, Brazil and other national football teams are using their respective federation logo?

Also, this exact same picture is currently using on Bengali Wikipedia Bangladesh national football team pages including under 17, under 20, under 23 and the national teams (both men and women). See here: Men's National & Women's National

Please help by adding the logo and add some sort of file protection so that others don't delete this again!

At the end, it represents Bangladesh to the world with pride!— Preceding unsigned comment added by HridoyKundu (talk • contribs) 07:27, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with the copyright issues here, so I don't feel comfortable getting involved. Perhaps you should discuss this with the editor(s) who removed the logo. Or bring this up at Wikipedia talk:Copyright problems.—ShelfSkewed Talk 12:40, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Please clarify why my edit was reverted

Hi, I'm TypoEater. You reverted my edit on Lamb, but your edit summary contained jargon that I could not understand. Please clarify what you meant with simpler terms. I understand that you had reason to revert my edit, I just want to understand what you meant by "we don't pipe links on dabbed pages" so I can make better edits in the future. TypoEater (talk) 15:18, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

@TypoEater: All of this is explained in the Manual of Style for disambiguation pages, a section of which I linked to in my edit summary, but the relevant information here is: Disambiguation ("dab") pages (one of which Lamb is), although they are in the article space, are not articles. Dab pages are navigation pages with their own manual of style. One of the general rules for dab pages is that an entry should display the actual link—the article title—for the article being linked to rather than hiding the title behind a pipe, as you did with [[Lamb and mutton|Lamb]]. There are other considerations and exceptions, but unless there is a very good reason to do otherwise, the entry should show the actual name of the ambiguous term being linked to. —ShelfSkewed Talk 16:29, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, I didn't know. TypoEater (talk) 16:58, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Thank You!

Thanks for helping me on the Lichtenstein Football Championship page by replacing Football with Association football. It was my first time editing so a rookie error! Since I haven't managed how to add sources/references yet I wondered if you could possibly add the sources I used for me, (they are on a discussion page on the page itself). Thanks in advance ^_^ WikiHmmmm... (talk) 06:12, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

@WikiHmmmm...: I'm going to suggest learning to do referencing yourself, which really isn't too difficult and mostly involves some copying and pasting. All the information you need can be found at Wikipedia:Citing sources. I suggest starting with basic inline citations and using the templates {{cite book}}, {{cite web}}, and {{cite journal}}. The way I taught myself to do it was by finding a well referenced article (for instance, the daily featured article on the Main Page) and looking at the markup. Happy editing! —ShelfSkewed Talk 06:57, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks I managed to work it out, and even managed to find a few more sources! WikiHmmmm... (talk) 08:03, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Breaking wikilinks

I shouldn't need to remind you to check your edits, but your edits at List of television channels in Pakistan both broke wikilinks - Arjayay (talk) 19:14, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

@Arjayay: Per the entry at Minimax (disambiguation), the European Minimax (TV channel) is not the channel in Pakistan. Perhaps you would prefer to unlink or remove those entries from the page, but they shouldn't link to the wrong article. —ShelfSkewed Talk 19:24, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for providing the references to sort out which Big River it was. The Parks Victoria page for it was blank. I had seen the first one you linked, but it didn't clearly say where, without having to consult with maps for the genericly named creeks with it, or the little used term "County of Wonnangatta" (Counties are not commonly known). The second one was very clear by mentioning Lake Eildon. -- ThylacineHunter (talk) 03:02, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

No problem. I had jumped the gun on a disambiguation in another article you have an interest in, so it wasn't unreasonable to ask for confirmation on this one. Cheers! —ShelfSkewed Talk 03:08, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

Theta function

Now I corrected the word parent partition and I replaced it by the word over partition. I did not notice that this word did appear at this position. The word Over partition sequence is the only right word what I see of course straight away. I beg your Pardon. Now I corrected it. (talk) 11:42, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

@Reformbenediktiner: You have misunderstood what needs to be changed. The actual link—the portion of [[partition function|over partition sequence]] to the left of the bar—still goes to the disambiguation page partition function and not to a particular article. Which article should be linked to? Partition function (number theory)? Partition function (mathematics)? One of the others listed? That's what needs to be fixed.—ShelfSkewed Talk 13:09, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

I made it! It must be the link to the page Partition function (number theory)! Reformbenediktiner (talk) 22:14, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

I need your assistance and knowledge on something please.

Hi User:ShelfSkewed Thank you for the very helpful contributions towards one article I created of an up and coming notable musician B Major (South African musician).

I have a quick question to ask , I'm hoping you can assist me as someone who has more wisdom of the encyclopedia than I do.

I just wanted to know by you how and when does articles including future articles I create show up on search engines such as google, bing, yahoo?

could you please help me get this one B Major (South African musician) done? Or explain how to go about it? please it would mean a lot for future topics I'm busy with.

Kind regards. Frankymulls (talk) 15:36, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

As far as I know, there is nothing you can do to influence when a search engine will index a new article or reflect changes to an older one. But in my experience, Google, at least, seems to pick up Wikipedia changes very quickly—usually within a few hours, or even faster. —ShelfSkewed Talk 16:22, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

User:ShelfSkewed That is understandable yes perhaps it will be indexed in a few days.

if you could also please help me understand how will I know when my work has been marked as reviewed on the encyclopedia?

I'm still learning my way around the things which are abit complicated.. so please forgive me all my silly questions, I haven't found any articles explaining when ones work has been reviewed. So I'm just curious to know if I'm at least on the right path?

In my contributions page I can only see how many people viewed my edits. Frankymulls (talk) 19:25, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

No need to worry about asking questions. Wikipedia is indeed a big, complicated, confusing monster, and every editor has questions from time to time. I don't really know much about the review process. I do know that you can request feedback on your articles at Wikipedia:Peer review. Perhaps you can find better-informed advice there. Cheers! —ShelfSkewed Talk 19:38, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

A quick question about disambiguation and indexing.

Hey there! User:ShelfSkewed, Hope this message find you well .. I was just wondering if you could perhaps help me understand or make light of something I just discovered a few minutes ago about 1 of the articles i created a while back. As someone who has been on wikipedia for over 17 years I'm hoping you could help me understand the confusion better, and hoping it will apply to my new book related articles too, While I'm being on and off Wikipedia because of my studies I thought I'd take sometime to improve some articles and thought I'd check if it could be found on google and it does show up in search engines because the articles has been reviewed but I had just discovered after returning that when I search the topic on google the wikipedia introductions doesnt link to the respective knowledge panel of the celebritiy

So my question basically is how do I link my created articles to the celebrities knowledge panels on google, If that is possible it would be nice to know how as I would like my encyclopedic contributions to be more discoverable outside wikipedia.

I know we spoke about something similar to this not to long ago I also just discovered there's a article which shares the same name as an article on Wikipedia which dominated the first page on google, so I had to disambiguate the one I made with (South African musician). I'm talking about these two B major & the one I created B Major (South African musician), Also Doc Shebeleza (South African musician) and Doc Shebeleza basically the same issue.

If its possible to fix this please let me know or point me in the right direction please. Frankymulls (talk) 07:17, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

I honestly have no idea how search-engine indexing works. I would think that the place to ask this is Google. —ShelfSkewed Talk 13:14, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Hey! No problem, I got it sorted.✅ Thank you for the help. Let me know if you can see it too please? just verify that it completely worked? Try searching "B Major SA" on google search without quotes and let me know if it's linked to the panel from your side? Might be different results if we're in different region's but I'm still figuring out the other article/s search terms.

Looking at it from a researching or student perspective,it should be easily discoverable. And I'm just trying to learn more about search terms and indexing and disambiguation for easily readibility and finding..

Thank you! Frankymulls (talk) 15:59, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Yes, popped right up. Cheers! —ShelfSkewed Talk 16:03, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Darshan (Kannada actor)

The page titled Darshan (actor) was fine since it was primary topic per page views. DareshMohan (talk) 04:16, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Under most circumstances, primary topic is only applicable to plain terms with no parenthetical disambiguation. In general there is no "primary topic" for an article title that has already been disambiguated—that is, for a topic that already has a parenthetical qualifier. Once a title has been disambiguated, it can and should be disambiguated completely to distinguish it from other uses. —ShelfSkewed Talk 04:29, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Susan King

Hey there! I just wanted to reach out to learn more, regarding the Susan King removal. I have seen other disambiguation pages with items w/o articles. Usually in broader scope, such as those sectioned off into "film, music, education", etc. where there might be 1-2 film, or a couple of notable people that don't have a page on such a vast disambiguation. I just wanted to know what made those acceptable versus a smaller disambiguation page like hers.

I thought it would have been noteworthy, if only due to the fact that she and the other Susan King are 2 Susan Kings who are both journalists that could be easily confused for one another. So then perhaps, based on this example I saw, would the only qualification be if I were to include this 2nd Susan King on the Los Angeles Times page's employee list or within its article, and then "blue link" Los Angeles Times:

Susan King, former Los Angeles Times entertainment reporter

Would that be an acceptable inclusion on the page? And still, by no means making it permissible to link the page as an author link to the Angela Lansbury citation, mind you. That's not what I'm attempting to do either! But just here to learn. So I'll follow your page and look forward to a response. Thanks. --Cinemaniac⁸⁶_{Dane_Cook_Hater_Extraordinaire} 14:39, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Disambiguation pages are navigation pages, so every entry should have a blue link for users to follow for relevant information, and the solution you propose would be absolutely fine per MOS:DABMENTION. Of course, I recommend that you provide reference along with the name in whichever article you choose. Cheers! —ShelfSkewed Talk 15:20, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Gotcha, so avoid any linkless entries (or red links that'll never get an entry, I read), because it's clutter. Good to know, so if I see any linked to nothing, make sure to navigate it somewhere.

And I've used several sources from her, so I'll do my best to see if I can find some biographical profiles about her journalism history from the papers. If not enough for its own stub, at least for inclusion within the LA Times article somewhere.

Thanks for the insight! --Cinemaniac⁸⁶_{Dane_Cook_Hater_Extraordinaire} 18:25, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Explanation

Here, while reorganizing the subsection of art and media, you omitted the song by Chinese Man. Was there a reason for this? DS (talk) 05:52, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

The song isn't mentioned in their article. —ShelfSkewed Talk 05:55, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

A definition

Is 'shelf skew' really that bad? If so, I must have some notoriety in the bookiverse. Arlo James Barnes 21:00, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

It was certainly in common use among the collectors and dealers I used to hang out with online years ago. Skew in general is considered a serious flaw in condition, and it can happen on the shelf or because of other improper storage. In poorly packed boxes or in high piles, the books at the bottom are likely to skew. —ShelfSkewed Talk 21:25, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
