Against linking to "wikidata" page instead of foreign-language Wiki page

edit

Edits from 26 January 2017 changed links to foreign-language Wiki pages into links to www.wikidata.org pages (example: Noi Podgorny, Revision as of 22:59, 26 January 2017). This is very technical and, in my opinion, counterproductive. The vast majority of the users, for whom we work, want quick info and don't "study Wikology". If a link sends a user to a foreign-language Wiki page, a one-step, quite familiar function (right-side click on "Translate to English") allows access to a LOT of info, be it poorly translated. The technical Wikidata pages now linked to are far, far less informative. I couldn't find any quick link on them taking you back to the foreign-language Wiki page, either. So the user gets less, in a dry, uninviting and (to me also) unfamiliar page, which looks like some tool for nerds, not at all like a user-friendly ENCYCLOPEDIA page. I invite you to please think it over, and if you agree - revert those edits. Please always keep in mind that the common WP user, user-friendliness, and encyclopedic quality is all that matters.

Yes, you are right as written on User talk:Marsupium#Your "wikification" does not serve the user! Now I have suppressed the rendering of Wikidata links. Cheers, --Marsupium (talk) 17:23, 27 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

It’s been four years since an entry here, but a heads up that I’m trying to bring clarity and unity of style to the page. I agree with the above observations. In the process, most links are poor. The Russian side keeps giving me “Not secure,” so I’m going to rid the page as much as possible and try to find better references. This is taking a while but turning out nicely. I know it’s just a list, but there’s no point to it if it’s crowded. Most names have links to pages from which text was copied verbatim. Some patience is required. Any issues with my progress so far, please respond. Thanks! Brightkingdom (talk) 01:49, 26 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hello Brightkingdom, thanks for working on this list. Just one question crossed my mind while browsing your edits: Why have you removed templates like {{lang-hr}}? Non-English language content should be marked with lang= HTML attributes and styled according to MOS:FOREIGNITALIC. Is there any reason not to do so in this list? Otherwise I'd propose to use the templates again following the MOS recommendations. Thanks for any reply, --Marsupium (talk) 09:50, 30 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Jakob Gartner missing

edit

I gave up editing in Wikipedia (english version) (most of my articles deemed of low importance). But maybe someone adds Jakob Gartner.--Wanfried-Dublin (talk) 14:36, 5 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Is there any primary source or link confirming Jewish ancestry or that he was Jewish? There doesn’t seem to be a reference on this site or anywhere online for that matter confirming this. Loomis and Harmon are not explicitly Jewish names either, and they can be of British/Germanic origin. 2600:1700:DAE0:1AA0:FC68:ED43:8A14:1B24 (talk) 22:48, 7 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

I couldn't find a confirming source in a quick online search either. So I've removed him in this list for now as an unreferenced inclusion. Best, --Marsupium (talk) 11:54, 13 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
