A belated welcome!

Sorry for the belated welcome, but the cookies are still warm!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Zchrykng. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! MPS1992 (talk) 20:03, 2 September 2016 (UTC)


RE:ANI

Indeed. It appeared as if users were ignoring the Breakdown (judging from two of the comments from the three users that replied so far), an integral part of my explanation of what occurred from my point of view. To be safe, I added an Underlined note stating exactly where the Breakdown ends and begins, which serves a similar role to the Collapse Box. DarkKnight2149 22:26, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank you

I just want to thank you for starting this report in WP:AN/3, that IP has been a pain in my rear for quite a while. He's also doing the same in Bessborough Reservoir, Playa del Rey, Los Angeles, Ramon Nomar, Playa Vista, Los Angeles (where the IP is edit-warring with multiple editors). As you can tell, this is one troublesome IP. (N0n3up (talk) 11:35, 3 May 2018 (UTC)) Update, he just got blocked for 48 hours. (N0n3up (talk) 12:07, 3 May 2018 (UTC))

Speedy deletion declined: Christian Academy (Honolulu)

Hello Zchrykng, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Christian Academy (Honolulu), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7 explicitly excludes educational institutions. If you are interested in learning more about how speedy deletion works, I have compiled a list of helpful pages at User:SoWhy/SDA. You can of course also contact me if you have questions. Thank you. SoWhy 07:47, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

@SoWhy: That makes sense, thanks! Sorry I missed that exclusion. I will just go the PROD route, if that seems like the best way. {{u|zchrykng}} {T|C} 12:44, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Heinz Wolfgang Herzfeld

Hi Zchrykng, you put an A7 on a brand new article of mine. I had barely started it. Next time check with the filing editor how many articles they have created. The article was brand new. Your likely to get blocked if you keep making stupid mistakes like this again. scope_creep (talk) 06:16, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

@Scope creep: nothing personal, but if I see something that is noncompliant with wikipedia policy I am going to tag it. Main space isn't for early non-compliant drafts that will eventually become compliant. That is what user space is for. If this was in your user space, I would be happy to help expand it when I have more time. {{u|zchrykng}} {T|C} 14:45, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Evolver Music Inc.

Hello Zchrykng. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Evolver Music Inc., a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Having been founded by a notable person indicates importance/significance (WP:CCSI#CORP, WP:CCSI#ORG). Thank you. SoWhy 11:58, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

@SoWhy: No problem, I wasn't the original tagger, just restored it when the editor who created the page removed it. {{u|zchrykng}} {T|C} 14:31, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
Right you are. I'll leave a message with the original tagger as well. Regards SoWhy 14:59, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

I think I removed most of the non neutral content and added citations. Can you tell me if its safe to remove the tabs. If not can you be specific on what you mean by non neutral. Notthesteps (talk) 22:44, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

@Notthesteps: I removed most of the tags and did a little cleanup on spacing. Leaving the advert tag for now because of my reading of WP:PLUG, but someone with more experience than me should review it. {{u|zchrykng}} {T|C} 00:36, 8 May 2018 (UTC)


Don't undo my edits

If you undo my valid sourced edits again or I will be forced to submit a ban user report. Psychedelia (talk) 18:43, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

@Psychedelia: I would recommend you actually follow WP:BRD rather than edit warring. You are more than welcome to take the question of if YouTube qualifies as an WP:RS in this case to the talk page. Also, I wouldn't care if you were an admin, if I see an edit that I think violates policy (especially BLP) I am going to revert it. {{u|zchrykng}} {T|C} 18:54, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
@Zchrykng: I am following the source guidelines. You're the one that likes to constantly moderate other peoples work on subjects you know nothing of. It's a constant trait upon reviewing your history here on Wikipedia. None of my edits violate the policy as they are clearly videos of the person in question and there is no editing of their words to change their message. It's one of the highest rated sources for such information. As I said, if you undo my edit of a verified source again you will be reported for vandalism (which there are many cases of you doing this in your contribs which I'd be glad to stack onto the report). Also I don't think OneAmerica would be happy to learn what you do during business hours. :) Psychedelia (talk) 18:59, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
@Psychedelia: if you make another comment like that -- and I mean especially the last sentence -- you are very likely to be blocked from editing. Please do not do anything like that ever again on this wiki. MPS1992 (talk) 19:06, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
@MPS1992: Have you heard of a thing called free speech? Thanks for trying to bully me into being silent but that doesn't work. If you bully me again I will be forced to report you for harassment. Psychedelia (talk) 19:09, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
Yes I have heard of freedom of speech. Where I live -- the United Kingdom -- there are numerous sensible limitations on it, which appropriately restrict the rights of some few offensive north Americans (and others) to offend and upset people. Meanwhile, this wiki, and the nonprofit organization which hosts it, has its own rules regarding harassment. You will need to follow them if you wish to continue editing here. Feel free to report me to anyone you like. MPS1992 (talk) 19:17, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
@Psychedelia: if you think you have a case (I don't think you do, but that is beside the point) you are welcome to bring your concerns to AN/I. I would caution you about potential boomerangs though. {{u|zchrykng}} {T|C} 19:21, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Intellectual Dark Web

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 Intellectual Dark Web, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Administrators' newsletter – July 2018

News and updates for administrators from the past month (June 2018).

Administrator changes

added Pbsouthwood • TheSandDoctor
readded Gogo Dodo
removed Andrevan • Doug • EVula • KaisaL • Tony Fox • WilyD

Bureaucrat changes

removed Andrevan • EVula

Guideline and policy news

  • An RfC about the deletion of drafts closed with a consensus to change the wording of WP:NMFD. Specifically, a draft that has been repeatedly resubmitted and declined at AfC without any substantial improvement may be deleted at MfD if consensus determines that it is unlikely to ever meet the requirements for mainspace and it otherwise meets one of the reasons for deletion outlined in the deletion policy.
  • A request for comment closed with a consensus that the {{promising draft}} template cannot be used to indefinitely prevent a WP:G13 speedy deletion nomination.

Technical news

  • Starting on July 9, the WMF Security team, Trust & Safety, and the broader technical community will be seeking input on an upcoming change that will restrict editing of site-wide JavaScript and CSS to a new technical administrators user group. Bureaucrats and stewards will be able to grant this right per a community-defined process. The intention is to reduce the number of accounts who can edit frontend code to those who actually need to, which in turn lessens the risk of malicious code being added that compromises the security and privacy of everyone who accesses Wikipedia. For more information, please review the FAQ.
  • Syntax highlighting has been graduated from a Beta feature on the English Wikipedia. To enable this feature, click the highlighter icon () in your editing toolbar (or under the hamburger menu in the 2017 wikitext editor). This feature can help prevent you from making mistakes when editing complex templates.
  • IP-based cookie blocks should be deployed to English Wikipedia in July (previously scheduled for June). This will cause the block of a logged-out user to be reloaded if they change IPs. This means in most cases, you may no longer need to do /64 range blocks on residential IPv6 addresses in order to effectively block the end user. It will also help combat abuse from IP hoppers in general. For the time being, it only affects users of the desktop interface.

Miscellaneous

  • Currently around 20% of admins have enabled two-factor authentication, up from 17% a year ago. If you haven't already enabled it, please consider doing so. Regardless if you use 2FA, please practice appropriate account security by ensuring your password is secure and unique to Wikimedia.

Administrators' newsletter – August 2018

News and updates for administrators from the past month (July 2018).

Administrator changes

added Sro23
readded KaisaL • Ymblanter

Guideline and policy news

  • After a discussion at Meta, a new user group called "interface administrators" (formerly "technical administrator") has been created. Come the end of August, interface admins will be the only users able to edit site-wide JavaScript and CSS pages like MediaWiki:Common.js and MediaWiki:Common.css, or edit other user's personal JavaScript and CSS. The intention is to improve security and privacy by reducing the number of accounts which could be used to compromise the site or another user's account through malicious code. The new user group can be assigned and revoked by bureaucrats. Discussion is ongoing to establish details for implementing the group on the English Wikipedia.
  • Following a request for comment, the WP:SISTER style guideline now states that in the mainspace, interwiki links to Wikinews should only be made as per the external links guideline. This generally means that within the body of an article, you should not link to Wikinews about a particular event that is only a part of the larger topic. Wikinews links in "external links" sections can be used where helpful, but not automatically if an equivalent article from a reliable news outlet could be linked in the same manner.

Administrators' newsletter – September 2018

News and updates for administrators from the past month (August 2018).

Administrator changes

added None
removed Asterion • Crisco 1492 • KF • Kudpung • Liz • Randykitty • Spartaz
renamed Optimist on the run → Voice of Clam

Interface administrator changes

added Amorymeltzer • Mr. Stradivarius • MusikAnimal • MSGJ • TheDJ • Xaosflux

Guideline and policy news

  • Following a "stop-gap" discussion, six users have temporarily been made interface administrators while discussion is ongoing for a more permanent process for assigning the permission. Interface administrators are now the only editors allowed to edit sitewide CSS and JavaScript pages, as well as CSS/JS pages in another user's userspace. Previously, all administrators had this ability. The right can be granted and revoked by bureaucrats.

Technical news

  • Because of a data centre test you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for up to an hour on 12 September and 10 October. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. The time when you can't edit might be shorter than an hour.
  • Some abuse filter variables have changed. They are now easier to understand for non-experts. The old variables will still work but filter editors are encouraged to replace them with the new ones. You can find the list of changed variables on mediawiki.org. They have a note which says Deprecated. Use ... instead. An example is article_text which is now page_title.
  • Abuse filters can now use how old a page is. The variable is page_age.

Arbitration

  • The Arbitration Committee has resolved to perform a round of Checkuser and Oversight appointments. The usernames of all applicants will be shared with the Functionaries team, and they will be requested to assist in the vetting process. The deadline to submit an application is 23:59 UTC, 12 September, and the candidates that move forward will be published on-wiki for community comments on 18 September.

I am getting some more info to add on for citations this week for the Institute of Lutheran Theology page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JimMcG89 (talk • contribs) 23:35, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

@JimMcG89: no worries. The article looked pretty good, just needs citations, figured bumping it to draft was better than letting someone tag it for deletion because it didn't have any references. {{u|zchrykng}} {T|C} 23:38, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

Declined twice.

Declined twice.
Hello. zchrykng.

I feel like you keep declining my edits even though they are as accurate as possible. Jane Williamson-Roberts was an amazing author who wrote about Samuel de Champlain and I put her down as my reference. Although, she has written atleast 2 books about Samuel de Champlain, you decline my tiny change to article. Samuel de Champlain's middle name is 'Hunterry' (derived from german and late latin). I'm still unsure why you decline my changes.

I hope to be approved because that is a huge part of Samuel's background. Sincerely, Nosli Wretnuh. Nosli Wretnuh (talk) 03:19, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

@Nosli Wretnuh: you also added "Hunterry" to Hirola. And you didn't actually add any citations or references to the article, you just put something in your edit summary. I have done some searching and have found zero evidence that you aren't just intentionally vandalizing the article. Please stop. {{u|zchrykng}} {T|C} 03:37, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Zchrykng!! You may want to have a look at this discussion : Talk:Lion#The newly classified subspecies, so to get an idea on the recent history of the dispute.

Palmer Middle School

Hi. School notability is not very well defined in policy and guidelines, but quite well defined in practice. See WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. High schools are notable almost certainly, with minimal required sourcing much closer to WP:PLACE than WP:ORG. Lower schools are virtually never notable and must meet WP:ORG. In practice, the vast majority of lower schools that are notable are notable for reasons other than being a school. (Examples would be being located in a building that in itself is notable such as an architectural award winner or being on the NRHP).

A practice endorsed both in policy (ATD) and in school article guidelines and particularly appropriate for NPP is to simply BOLDly blank and redirect the article to the local school district for a public school, or to the education section of the appropriate settlement article for private schools or if as in this case a school district article doesn't exist. It saves a ton of adminstrative hocus pocus and editor time. If you get push back and your redirect is reverted, then go to AfD. When you boldly redirect a school article like that, please apply the {{r from school}} template to it, which will automatically list it in the proper categories. Thanks. John from Idegon (talk) 04:58, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

@John from Idegon: Thanks for the tips! {{u|zchrykng}} {T|C} 05:20, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
Hey, sorry...I just noticed I had some facts twisted between this lower school deletion and another one on my plate. This one should be a redirect to the school district....my bad. I'm going to boldly close the AfD. Since it ended up at AN due to weirdness and no fault of yours, it's been voted on heavily enough IMO that consensus is indicated. John from Idegon (talk) 06:03, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

Thanks again

Thanks for your answer& help :)

Template Removal

Assuming you actually read the revision log, I clearly gave reasons for the removal of the templates in question. You are welcome to dispute the removals, however, your reverting the edit without stating a reason why will be regarded as an intentional destructive act, and will be reverted per Wikipedia policy on vandalism.

Greetings...

Regarding my addition to your Wikipedia article on the song "Waltzing Matilda" and your kind email about it:

What kind of "citation" were you looking for? I really didn't have any "source" for my addition, apart from having watched the movie in question itself (On the Beach, 1959) several times and having been struck by the poignancy of the use of the song at that critical moment in the film. Should you have never seen the film (based on the novel by Nevil Shute and set in and around Melbourne, Australia), do give it a look, as I think it is a significant use of the song... perhaps you would prefer to write such an addition yourself, which I quite understand.

Anyhow: many thanks and all best regards, J.P. Marmaro, Spring Hill, Florida, USA — Preceding unsigned comment added by JP Marmaro (talk • contribs) 19:47, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

JP Marmaro, everything in wikipedia has to follow WP:RS, WP:OR, and WP:V. I'm sure what you added is 100% true, but we don't make edits based on personal subjective feelings/opinions. I hope that helps. :) {{u|zchrykng}} {T|C} 19:51, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

Waltzing Matilda in On the Beach

Hi again

Thanks for the technical advice. Here are some references:

A video clip of the scene from On the Beach:

https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=waltzing+matilda+on+the+beach&&view=detail&mid=9F999DE5063F998BB6F69F999DE5063F998BB6F6&&FORM=VRDGAR

from Wikipedia's own article on the film:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Beach_(1959_film)

Frank Chacksfield's orchestral performance of the love theme from On the Beach was released as a single in 1960, reaching #47 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song "Waltzing Matilda" became popular everywhere, as a result of the film, with many folk singers recording their own versions, including Harry Belafonte, Jimmie Rodgers (who had recorded two different versions of the song), and Tim Morgan. The Seekers, who are from Australia, recorded this song several times.

from https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053137/reviews --

The primary power of this great movie to me is how well it conveys the idea that for us, on this beach, love and tender kindness are all that matter in the end, and the end is always near. The sheer kindness that Ava and Gregory's characters express for each other is surely the key element of their triumphant relationship.

The moment in which their relationship most completely triumphs, of course, occurs at the Narbethong Hotel. "On The Beach" achieves a cinematic moment of genius when the chorus singing "Waltzing Matilda" changes from a rowdy crowd of drunks to a magnificently harmonious group of fine male voices. As the sheer beauty of the music overwhelms us, it also overwhelms our characters, and we all unite together in a sublime moment of awareness that true love and kindness give us our only victory over imminent death. "You'll never take me alive," says the ghost.

The way Gregory Peck's character shifts from fumbling with the fire to turning toward Ava as the music inspires transcendence, and the way Ava smiles at him, make this scene unforgettably great.''

From the TCM site:

http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/17688/On-the-Beach/articles.html

The basic formula for On the Beach proved successful enough for Kramer to repeat it again for two more acclaimed films, Inherit the Wind (1960) and Judgment at Nuremberg 91961), using a cast of stars to deliver a message many viewers weren't quite prepared to accept. It also generated worldwide awareness and popularity for its theme song, "Waltzing Matilda," an Australian standard adapted by composer Ernest Gold to increasingly chilling effect until its final haunting refrain in the unforgettable, desolate final scene.

Finally, a clip from the finale of the movie, again using the song:

https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=waltzing+matilda+on+the+beach&view=detail&mid=CD4FA736A09C645BE0DECD4FA736A09C645BE0DE&FORM=VIRE — Preceding unsigned comment added by JP Marmaro (talk • contribs) 09:23, 20 October 2018 (UTC)


I wonder, is that sufficient support? You can see why I felt any article on the song should include mention of its use in the film.

Thanks again and best regards, J P Marmaro

NPR Newsletter No.14 21 October 2018

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months.

Hello Zchrykng, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

Backlog

As of 21 October 2018, there are 3650 unreviewed articles and the backlog now stretches back 51 days.

Community Wishlist Proposal
Project updates
  • ORES predictions are now built-in to the feed. These automatically predict the class of an article as well as whether it may be spam, vandalism, or an attack page, and can be filtered by these criteria now allowing reviewers to better target articles that they prefer to review.
  • There are now tools being tested to automatically detect copyright violations in the feed. This detector may not be accurate all the time, though, so it shouldn't be relied on 100% and will only start working on new revisions to pages, not older pages in the backlog.
New scripts

Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 20:49, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

You're bizarrely obsessed

with preventing mildly POV additions to an article that is already, by necessity, overflowing with POV expressions about an opera star. Why haven't you deleted every single adjective and adverb from the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.147.61.36 (talk)

Don't have the time or inclination to fix the article, but I can keep it from getting worse. It only ended up on my watchlist from recent changes patrolling. You are more than welcome to make actual improvements to the article. zchrykng (talk) 22:22, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

I did. You deleted them arbitrarily based on some fantastical "non-neutral POV" mirage inside your own mind. Cite for me even one WP page for a famous singer that is "non-neutral POV". Please, go ahead and find a single entry for any singer ever that lives up to your fantasy.

Hi Zchrykng - thanks, first time contributor so sorry to cause problems - I've now commented on Praxidicae's talk page.

There is a issue with a small private consultant using this LPM page to mis-represent their position in the market (and Praxidicae had deleted their original content) - the content that I've provided is independently verifiable from multiple sources which are included.

I do have an industry voice on this area, so it's not me just shooting from the hip with opinions - but apologies if this has created the wrong impression.Pdombkins (talk) 04:46, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Pdombkins, thanks for being receptive to correction about how things work on Wikipedia! (You might be surprised how rare that is, but I digress)
Let's keep the discussion on Praxidicae's talk page for now, just to make everyone's lives easier. Just a heads up, I will be adding another template to your page with lines to Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines and how disclosures need to be handled. zchrykng (talk) 04:50, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
thanks Zchrykng; I'm hoping that we can get a degree of wider industry contribution to this page from the major top-tier law firms and large in-house teams, and have been reaching-out to make this happen. I thought my edits were useful, hopefully we can reach consensus. Pdombkins (talk) 04:56, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
@Pdombkins: I'm sure that at least some of the information can be added back in, just need to discuss it first. And you want to put those four tildes (~) at the end of your post, not the beginning (WP:TALKPAGE and WP:SIGNATURE might be helpful) zchrykng (talk) 05:09, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
Zchrykng- a quick follow-up: I do work for a large law firm where I am Head of Legal Project Management, and had included links to a number of LPM initiatives from competitors (as well as my own employer). Is this ok, and what is the correct procedure for me to disclose this? Pdombkins (talk) 05:00, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
@Pdombkins: The information I put on your talk page should have a link about how to disclose. As for which links are appropriate, lets discuss that on Praxidicae's talk page. zchrykng (talk) 05:09, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Zchrykng - as you'll see on Praxidicae's talk page, the existing contributor and I have resolved things amicably offline, and hope that we can move forward. Appreciate you holding my hand on this, I'll read the guides #noob Pdombkins (talk) 07:34, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

  • Reference Previews will become a default feature on some wikis on 17 March. They will share a setting with Page Previews. If you prefer the Reference Tooltips or Navigation-Popups gadget you can keep using them. If so Reference Previews won't be shown. [19][20]
  • New JavaScript-based functions will not work in Internet Explorer 11. This is because Internet Explorer is an old browser that doesn't work with how JavaScript is written today. Everything that works in Internet Explorer 11 today will continue working in Internet Explorer for now. You can read more.

Not a problem. "Professional footballer" is an assertion of notability (even if the individual is not actually notable), so is not eligible. Let me know if you have any more questions. GiantSnowman 15:24, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello, about whether S4 is the least model companion of IPC...

Hi,

What do you think of this https://math.stackexchange.com/a/1465533/590921

Isn't that saying that Chagrov proved that S3 is actually the least model companion of IPC?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.91.149.167 (talk) 16:24, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

I have no opinion on the quality of that link, but the article itself is not the place for discussion. Please comment on the article talk page instead. zchrykng (talk) 16:28, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
