Orville Peck's bibliography

edit

Dear Yngvadottir : we keep running into the same problem. I want to explain some wikipedia policies: 1) you should discuss the proposed changes on the Article Talk page, pinging the editors who have been involved. 2) you MUST cite a specific wiki-policy, that the article violates, such as WP:COPYVIO. I noticed, that you have not been citing specific policies in your other deletions. 3) as I explained to your earlier, there is NO PREFERRED REFERENCE FORMAT in wikipedia today:Please read this carefully: https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources . 4) if you do not like the list of references in the article about Orville Peck, you can suggest splitting the list into a separate bibliographic article. Please take a look at a bibliographic article, that I participated in: https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/John_Mearsheimer_bibliography . This article is linked to the main article: https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/John_Mearsheimer . If you want to split a separate bibliographic article about Orville Peck, you should open a request for discussion. 5) I am sorry, that I have to explain you all these policies, that you violated, despite your numerous contributions to Wiki, but I hope, that you will be a more productive editor after your learn the proper procedures. Thank you for understanding and please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions. Respectfully, Walter Tau.

@Walter Tau: The discussion belongs on the article talk page, where I gave a fuller explanation than in my edit summary. (I note you have reverted at the article, but haven't yet edited the talk page section). However, check WP:BRD and WP:ONUS: you have been bold, and been reverted. The onus is on you to discuss, not on me or anyone else who disagrees with your addition to the article. (By the way, you're not signing, so the ping template won't work. Your ping syntax was wrong anyway, but pinging also requires a signature at the time the comment is left.) Yngvadottir (talk) 03:24, 11 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Yngvadottir: Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, you did not address all 4 of the issued, that I raised.

6) you misunderstand, what BOLD mean on wikipedia. It refers to specific facts. Our disagreement on Orvill Peck article is about formatting not facts. Formatting should be discussed on the talk page first. Also, unless you found vandalism or copyright violation, you should discuss your proposed deletion on the article talk page first. 6) Wikipedia:ONUS =Verifiability. What is not verifiable about Bibliography List for Orville Peck. Please answer this question, do NOT skip it. 7) I keep forgetting how the signature works here. Sorry about that.

Talk page. We have a disagreement about how to edit this article, Orville Peck. (BTW you know you can do a numbered list by typing # in front of each item, and the software makes the numbers?) Yngvadottir (talk) 03:42, 11 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Cerium4B: Both you and the IP are at 3 reverts, which means the IP is wrong that you are violating 3RR, but you are both edit warring and in danger of being blocked and/or the article being locked (protected) by an admin. I have no idea who's right or whether you are both partially right. I suggest you ask about PSC and the use of the honorific parameter at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Bangladesh and then walk away and let other members of the WikiProject sort it out. It's not worth getting blocked over. For what it's worth, that's my advice. Yngvadottir (talk) 07:37, 13 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

An excellent and accurate voter guide. Superb preamble too. Makes me wish I had written one this year after all but I'm trying to make a soft return to WP. Shame your guide was a little late because the vast majority of voters have already made up their minds and are poised over their keyboards just waiting for the polling station to open its door. Generally over 50% of the votes are cast within the first couple of hours. (1)[(2) Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 18:47, 19 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you!
I wasn't aware of that; I tend to leave voting to the last minute myself. And I had no idea you'd created those graphs. Yngvadottir (talk) 20:57, 19 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
