Re: Wikitrasfer from Japanese to English

Hello, I've done it. In the future, could you please not create empty pages as placeholders before an import? It'd be easier for me if you didn't, because then I could import the edits straight onto a new page, rather than manually reverting to the translated version. Graham87 13:17, 8 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

OK I won't do that in the future. Wasn't sure about wether the page had to be created before the transfer. Thank you su much. Earlyspatz (talk) 13:24, 8 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Re: wikitransfer from english to german wp

edit

Hello, I can't do that because you need to be an admin to be able to import pages, and I don't have that userright on the German Wikipedia. The correct place to request an importation there would be Importwünsche, which also has an equivalent English page, Requests for page importation (which I monitor).

Proposed deletion of The Second Floor

The article The Second Floor has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

no indication of notability

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Wikipedia for Peace Madrid - World Pride

Hi Earlyspatz!

I am interested in the event at Madrid, but I do not know exactly how it works. Should I do other thing than sign? Because I even do not know if I have to be selected previously to be a confirmed participant. And after that, what is the process to follow?

Thanks a lot. DaddyCell (talk) 07:45, 14 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hello @DaddyCell:, a lot of people are coming to Madrid. If you want to be there, you need to be accepted before. We have a budget for accommodation and food but it is limited so we can't accept too many participants. By now I think we are almost 15 and we wanted to accept 15 participants overall. I can't tell where you are from. If you don't live so far away from Madrid your chapters might reimburse the travel costs. You can also write me an email with further information about you.

You are of course aside from that invited to participate remotely.

Thanks for the information. I am Spanish. Where can I apply? And, where can I write you for further information?

Hello @DaddyCell:,, you can write me an e-mail. The tool is under the section "tools" on the left of the wikipedia page: "Email this user" when you are on my user page. And then you can write me an email with mroe information. Also Ruben Ojeda was in contact with different people interested from Spain. He knows the Spanish community better than I do.

That is very true. I feel like that was not an attempt to make Wikipedia better but a personal attack on me maybe because I applied for a scholarship to attend Wikimania in South Africa or because of other users not liking projects on refugees. One of those two options. So I was kind of upset about that. But I changed the article and it is still standing and fine like that. So, cool.

Proposed deletion of The Finders (group)

edit
 

The article The Finders (group) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:FRINGE topics. The "Finders" claims are just a specific instance of the Satanic ritual abuse panic of the 80s and 90s. The overwhelming majority of this material comes from an FBI report, which is itself mostly a WP:PRIMARY collection of un-vetted or discredited claims about occult child abuse. The only non-primary sources contain only passing mentions of the Finders cult, and none of them really deserve any credence.

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.

Fringe articles

edit

Hi there, I've noticed several of your recently created articles appear to give undue weight to fringe theories about child sexual abuse cults. While Wikipedia covers conspiracy theories and fringe ideas, we try to cover them the same way that reliable sources cover them. Reliable sources generally indicate that claims of ritual child sexual abuse are baseless. The talk page for Satanic ritual abuse contains an "FAQ" section at the top of the page which includes links to sources and prior discussions which establish a firm consensus among experts and editors that these claims are not credible, and should not be treated as credible.

I've already nominated a couple of these articles for deletion, but please don't take this as a discouragement from future editing! It's great that you want to add more coverage of sexual abuse and trafficking issues, but I'm asking you to be more careful going forward. If you're unsure about something, you may want to open a discussion at WP:AFC before creating an article. You're also welcome to ask me questions on my talk page or in this thread. Thanks!

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you twice removed maintenance templates from Marc Dutroux.[1][2] One of these was for the clunky text, the other was for fringe theories. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If you had read one of the sources you used in your edits, you would have seen that stated that the information you were using was a fringe theory. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Alègre and OCCK

Hello, I just wanted to let you know I have begun copy-editing and cleaning up the Alègre and OCCK articles and I will try to finish doing that tomorrow, before I take a break from Wikipedia until Thursday. It will probably take a while for me to completely finish improving the articles as the OCCK article is particularly long and needs more sources and I have yet to fully go through the Microsoft documents and drafts you emailed me. Happy New Year in advance! Linguist111my talk page 22:03, 29 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hey, yeah I have not yet gathered a lot of material on Alègre and OCCK. After gathering the material it will also need to be structured and filtered for reliable sources. Most material that is structured and solid is on the Dutroux case. But I think this can be used as a blueprint to go through other articles of people similar to Dutroux like Alègre. Thank you so much for your help. I think I'll focus on Alègre first and then I'll go over OCCK. That will take at least 2 weeks until its at a stage where it can be incorporated into the existing article, I think.

Custom signature fix needed

edit

Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error, specifically formatting tags that are in the wrong order.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
  1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
  2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
  3. Remove anything in the Signature: text box.
  4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
  1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
  2. Change the signature as shown below, or make other edits to make the signature appear how you want it to appear.
  3. Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature.

Current signature:
'''[[User:Woman on a mission|<span style="text-shadow:0em 0em 1em #00FFFF;"><span style="color:#000000;">Woman on a mission</span></span>]][[User talk:Woman on a mission|👶🏼👦🏼👧🏼🙅🏼🕵🏼‍♀️👩‍💻]]

Requesting your attention @ a discussion

edit

Hi, I happen to come across a 3rd opinion request by (student) editor @ WP:3O regarding ongoing discussion @ Talk:Poverty industrial complex#Recent reverted edits, which in part, seems, relates to article scope and WP:DUE.

Student editors usually do not pursue disputed topics much longer. Since you seem to have created the article Poverty industrial complex, you may want to review disputed changes and share your inputs as and when time permits you.

Pl. note your inputs won't count as third opinion since you have already contributed in the article.

This is for your information and update.
