I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, Vagabond nanoda

Thank you for creating Shenandoah Harmony.

User:Doomsdayer520, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

Thank you for your new article on "Shenandoah Harmony". Note that other editors have called for more evidence of notability. The article currently has some robust sources but they tend to be about people associated with the Shenandoah Harmony project, or similar books, but not necessarily about this book itself. For pointers, follow the links in the notice at the top of the article.

To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Doomsdayer520}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ .

{{Re|Doomsdayer520}}Thanks for your review; I agree with your comments. I regularly check to see if anything has been published recently. Shenandoah Harmony is part of a grass-roots tradition that's under the radar screen. (1) The significance (if not notability) is that there are many parts of Americana that are alive today because of that book. Two songs written by Justin Morgan grieving over his wife, once again being sung and felt, not by choirs, but in living rooms and on people's porches. The world of minor key tunes, before the advent of modern major key fascism, has been brought back to life. I guess my attitude is one of twiddling my thumbs, waiting for a scholar to notice that. It has republished the work of Ananias Davisson which is notable, so perhaps the article should be merged with that page until some scholar notices. (2) Another source of notability (if only a scholar would notice), is that living traditions renew themselves (a) by new creations and (b) by rediscovering their roots (the young generation skips over the heads of the parents and learns from the grandparents). In this case, there are about 80 new compositions. And the tradition of Sacred Harp (1844) singing, widespread with many scholarly works, has been skipped over by Shenandoah Harmony, which is reviving music from 1816. This is a cogent argument, but I need to wait for a scholar to say it. In the meantime, people in Germany and England are singing this music. Maybe I've painted myself into a corner. Did I prepend the code correctly? Vagabond nanoda (talk) 22:15, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

Some baklava for you!

Hi I’ve just reviewed Armand de Foucauld de Pontbriand. Thanks for creating this article. Is it partly based on a translation ofthe fr.wiki article? Mccapra (talk) 09:07, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for reminding me: I added a Source section. Vagabond nanoda (talk) 03:32, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Ok great. You’ll see that I’ve added a translation template to the talk page. You should use this any time you translate from another wiki, adding the language code and original article name as appropriate. Now that the template is on, you don’t need the sources section in the article itself, so I’ve taken it out. Happy editing! Mccapra (talk) 03:40, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Vagabond nanoda, and welcome to Wikipedia. I edit here too, under the username Vexations, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Artistic scandal, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form.

Bournillon cave

Hello

just a word to point out that Bournillon Cave is not a creation but a translation of Grotte de Bournillon, article created on June 7, 2017 on wikipédia.fr. On wikipédia.fr it is specified that the article is a translation, apparently not on Wikipedia.en. You must provide copyright attribution in the edit summary accompanying your translation by providing an interlanguage link to the source of your translation. A model attribution edit summary Content in this edit is translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at fr:Grotte de Bournillon; see its history for attribution. You should also add the template

to the talk page. Good luck with that.--Biboc (talk) 14:35, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

A summary of site policies and guidelines you may find useful

• Please sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~, found next to the 1 key), and please do not alter other's comments.
• "Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is.
• We do not publish original thought nor original research. We merely summarize reliable sources without elaboration or interpretation.
• Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards. User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided. Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
• Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources. This usually means that secular academia is given prominence over any individual sect's doctrines, though those doctrines may be discussed in an appropriate section that clearly labels those beliefs for what they are.

Reformulated:

• "Truth" is not the only criteria for inclusion, verifiability is also required.
• Always cite a source for any new information. When adding this information to articles, use <ref>reference tags like this</ref>, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
• We do not publish original thought nor original research. We're not a blog, we're not here to promote any ideology.
• A subject is considered notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
• Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards. User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided. Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
• Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources. Real scholarship actually does not say what understanding of the world is "true," but only with what there is evidence for. In the case of science, this evidence must ultimately start with physical evidence. In the case of religion, this means only reporting what has been written and not taking any stance on doctrine.
• Material must be proportionate to what is found in the source cited. If a source makes a small claim and presents two larger counter claims, the material it supports should present one claim and two counter claims instead of presenting the one claim as extremely large while excluding or downplaying the counter claims.
• We do not give equal validity to topics which reject and are rejected by mainstream academia. For example, our article on Earth does not pretend it is flat, hollow, and/or the center of the universe.

Also, not a policy or guideline, but something important to understand the above policies and guidelines: Wikipedia operates off of objective information, which is information that multiple persons can examine and agree upon. It does not include subjective information, which only an individual can know from an "inner" or personal experience. Most religious beliefs fall under subjective information. Wikipedia may document objective statements about notable subjective claims (i.e. "Christians believe Jesus is divine"), but it does not pretend that subjective statements are objective, and will expose false statements masquerading as subjective beliefs (cf. Indigo children).

You may also want to read User:Ian.thomson/ChristianityAndNPOV. We at Wikipedia are highbrow (snobby), heavily biased for the academia.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. All we do here is cite, summarize, and paraphrase professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources, without addition, nor commentary. We're not a directory, nor a forum, nor a place for you to "spread the word".

If you are here to promote pseudoscience, extremism, fundamentalism or conspiracy theories, we're not interested in what you have to say. Tgeorgescu (talk) 22 August 2020 08:43:12 (UTC)

References

• HI Vagabond nanoda, DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED BY @Tgeorgescu:'s lengthy epistles that he uses as a scare tactic. Your edits at The Exodus article were great, and you correctly cited the Spanish, French, German, Russian Wikipedias as reliable precedents. You also gave a fine example of WP:BEBOLD. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. IZAK (talk) 05:27, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

@IZAK: You should know that I am not the only Wikipedian who discussed that with you. Much of the above was written by Ian.thomson. If WP:RULES weren't on my side, I could have never prevailed in Wikipedia. I'm much too minoritarian for that: internationalist, Romanian, immigrant to the Netherlands, Einsteinian-Spinozist as religion, etc. Tgeorgescu (talk) 06:15, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Since I've been summoned: everyone's wrong, get over it. Vagabond nanoda's post at Talk:Exodus fails WP:No original research, is potentially based on outdated source (and is definitely citing Wikipedia articles, which is not how this site works), and seems to confuse different types of creation myths (which, granted, our articles don't do an adequate job of explaining). Tgeorgescu is wrong to come so readily armed for the prospect that VN might be pushing some sort of fundamentalist POV (even if he admits the possibility that that might not be the case), since VN did not complain about the very word "myth" (just what kind of myth we should call it). IZAK is wrong for assuming that any form of Wikipedias can be cited as precedent, and rather seems to be holding a grudge against Tgeorgescu that would be tricky to work with WP:AGF. Now I'm off to finish cooking dinner. Ian.thomson (talk) 09:36, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Hirayama Seisai moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Hirayama Seisai, 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.
