Avalon

edit

There is no need for a hatnote pointing from Avalon (American band) to the disambiguation page, because no-one looking for a different meaning of "Avalon" is going to arrive at the band's page by mistake. I hope that clarifies it for you. Happy editing!

Hi @PamD:, Aah, so that's what it is about. Thank you very much for taking the time to clarify this. What you say is true of course. I just thought that having the link to the disamb. page makes it easier to get to said disamb. page, whatever the reader's path to that band's page may have been and whatever his/her motivations may be. i.e. I, and likely other people, like to get curious about other things that bear the same name as what I currently work on, whenever I land on a disamb. page. So once I got a glance at the side topic, the link makes it easier to get back to the disamb. page. This is all the truer when the name is used by a lot of entities - such as Avalon, as it happens. I find that easing up pages manipulations encourages curiosity. But this is really not something worth even thinking about twice let alone fight over. I just wanted to know if I was missing some link or something else. Thanks again. Pueblopassingby (talk) 18:11, 14 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation

edit

Please revert your edits adding hatnotes to disambiguated pages per WP:NAMB. James (talk/contribs) 17:47, 14 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

No. I do not believe that removing them is judicious. They help finding homonym articles, like all the theatres called "Avalon". Besides, that WP:NAMB page you cite states that " this guideline doesn't prescribe one way or the other ". The fact that you say " Please " does not obliterate the fact that you are trying to pass as a rule a guideline that is not "set in iron", so I wouldn't call that polite but more like a missed attempt at manipulation.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Mike Tyson, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Don McRae. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Kyzyltuz / Kyzyltu

edit

Thank you for your good-faith edit of Kyzyltuz (Akkuly District) lake, but the pictures added were of the Kyzyltuz (Zhelezin District) group of lakes far to the north. Also the uranium mine is near Kyzyltu village, in Aktobe Region, not in Pavlodar Region. Xufanc (talk)

Hi Xufanc, damn. I'll take your word for it. Sorry, and thanks. Was trying to give a bit more texture here on the mysterious and fascinating phenomenon of soda lakes, plumping up the list of lakes (and the annex pages) in that article (so far in personal sandbox only). Hard to follow when most sources are in unknown (by me) language, let alone unknown alphabet. Area is badly known too, at least by "Occidentals". Will try for even more circumpstection, but thanks for keeping an eye on future edits of mine on that regard. (Am doing a pause at the moment, letting the chemistry data sink in before I can put them in better order. Might take a while, my specialty is prehistory and I'm hardly better at chemistry than i am at north Asian geography...)
Good continuation to you. Pueblo89 (talk) 11:53, 29 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Attempts at clarification

(reminder: both Aktobe Region and Pavlodar Region are in Kazakhstan)
According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (World Distribution of Uranium Deposits (UDEPO) with Uranium Deposit Classification, 2009, p. 79)
the uranium deposit nearby Kyzyltuz is (in a "Sandstone–Roll Front" type of deposit) in Kazakhstan (south of Kyrgyzstan).
So it would be neither in Aktobe Region nor in Pavlodar Region (both in Kyrgyzstan).
Googlemaps has two Kyzyltuz in Kazakhstan:

Speedy deletion nomination of Veronica Rudge Green Prize in Urban Design

Answer here: Talk:Veronica Rudge Green Prize in Urban Design. Pueblo89 (talk) 01:14, 18 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Summary of the so-called copyright infringing:
-> as per seen on the Veronica Rudge Green Prize in Urban Design's talk page, this consisted in:
"recognizes exemplary", changed for "acknowledges remarquable"
"on the occasion of", changed for "to mark"
and "Harvard University’s 350th anniversary", changed for "the 350th anniversary of Harvard University" - hesitantly thus changed for reason explained in that article's talk page, and half-jokingly because calling that one "copyright infringing" is seriously dumb - but hey, i did use copy-paste for that one too, so let it be noted too.
-> In my answer to Diannaa's calling i also noted a number of expressions / groups of words for which I indicated that I did not find another way for saying what they mean. These were (at this moment these still are):
"urban design projects"
"more than one building or an open space"
" quality of urban life", and
"a humane".
For each of those I wrote: "Do you see another way for saying that? I don't."
Diannaa did not respond to that either. Just removed the call on copyright in the article's page, so we can assume that s/he was satisfied with the changing of those two short expressions. Pueblo89 (talk) 13:30, 22 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello @Diannaa:,
I don't understand what's going on with this one. Looking at Seoraksan National Park, that article's revision history:
1)
-> your edit 11:30, 22 October 2024 removes 178 bytes/characters from the article, with edit summary: "remove copyright content copied from https://doi.org/10.1007/s12371-018-0332-x = not compatibly licensed".
-> my edit 08:52, 21 October 2024, 824 bytes/characters, is striked off so I assume that 824 bytes/characters have been removed/erased although i may be wrong there, i don't know for sure, it's just what it looks like.
824 bytes, that's about 10 lines in a Word doc. What I know for sure is that:
there is not one single chance that I'd have ever copied 10 lines, as a whole block or as significant separate bits, and plonked them in an article straight-up-no change.
2)
You removed something I took from that sentence in the source:
"Annual precipitation is around 1200–1400 mm but a significant part of it comes as heavy summer rains with daily totals of the order of several hundred millimeters, and occasionally, Seoraksan is hit by a typhoon, with hourly intensities above 100 mm."
One other thing I am 100% sure of, is that i absolutely did not copy-pasted that whole sentence. So what is it exactly that you find was copyvio in it?
3)
That sentence is only 250 bytes. I can't see what else - if anything - you've removed because it's striked off/blocked in 'revision history'; the "Difference between versions" only says "You cannot view this diff because one or both of the revisions have been removed from the public archives. Details can be found in the deletion log for this page" - which does not give any of the content removed.
How am i supposed to learn from my mistakes if you don't allow me to know exactly what it is that you think of as copyvio??? Please do bring out what I wrote that you erased and let us compare the source and what I took from it. Thank you.
Pueblo89 (talk) 16:24, 22 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
The net amount of my edit was a decrease of 178 bytes. I removed "but most of it comes as heavy summer rains that may total several hundred millimeters in one day, and the occasional typhoon can bring over 100 mm in just one hour" and replaced it with "with most of the rain occuring in the summer." -- Diannaa (talk) 18:38, 22 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
I also removed from your citation the field |type= article published as open access on 15 October 2018. The article is free to read, but is not compatibly licensed. I have to go out now and will be back later today sometime -- -- Diannaa (talk) 18:52, 22 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Here is the side by side comparison: Source says:

Annual precipitation is around 1200–1400 mm but a significant part of it comes as heavy summer rains with daily totals of the order of several hundred millimeters, and occasionally, Seoraksan is hit by a typhoon, with hourly intensities above 100 mm.

Your addition says:

The annual precipitation is about 1,000 mm (39 inches) in Inner Soraksan and 1,300 mm (51 inches) in Outer Soraksan, but most of it comes as heavy summer rains that may total several hundred millimeters in one day, and the occasional typhoon can bring over 100 mm in just one hour.

Identical portions are in Bold. So you've got the same content in exactly the same order with only slightly different wording. That's a copyright violation.-- -- Diannaa (talk) 00:22, 23 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
