redirects

Most of that paragraph explains why you wouldn't categorize redirects, and it's all sound. My opinion: The purpose of the categories is not to get a complete list of things. The purpose of categories is to categorize articles. And there is no article on Market Blandings; if there were it would be in that category. So unless the category demands that redirects be directed to it, I think such categorizations should all be removed. Your mileage may vary.--Mike Selinker 23:37, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

re:vandalism

thanks for catching that for me. Ironically I've noticed similar half vandalism reverts in the past by others and pointed it out to the editors in question, so I'm annoyed I've fallen for it myself. I'll attempt to be more vigilant in future. --Krsont 18:39, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

No problem. That was the only instance I had ever found of such a comment, and I'm just obsessive-compulsive about spelling & punctuation. If you revert that change, I wholly agree with you. Cheers, Her Pegship (tis herself) 03:45, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Re: Template:Nocaps

The simplest way to keep this template is to find a legitimate use for it. Once there's a transclusion of it, it's ineligible for WP:DOT. If it's not possible to find a legitimate use for the template, then it probably should be deleted. By the way, a similar template, Template:blink, had the exact same arguments for keep as this one and it was deleted through WP:TFD. Cheers. --MZMcBride 05:06, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Template:Infobox record label/doc

Regarding this, having comments inline with the templates example means the user has to select all of the comments one by one and delete them when they are going to use the template on an article. This inconvenience is why none of the other music templates (see for example Template:Infobox Album#Code, Template:Infobox Single#Code, Template:Infobox Song#Code and Template:Infobox musical artist#Code) use such comments. Other than that, it's redundant and confusing to have two sets of instructions, especially when they are subtly different. I also made some other whitespace changes (other than fixing the BR trick, which I assumed was an oversight) to bring this template more in line with the other templates. --PEJL 14:28, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Well we still have the problem of having two sets of subtly different instructions. I also don't think "qualified" and "concise" are appropriate terms to describe the two examples. Both URLs are qualified. --PEJL 16:02, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Regarding reversions[1] made on September 28 2007 to P. G. Wodehouse

You have been temporarily blocked for violation of the three-revert rule. Please feel free to return after the block expires, but also please make an effort to discuss your changes further in the future.

The duration of the block is 24 hours. Nishkid64 (talk) 22:32, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Komusou (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

PMAnderson did a 3RR first, I unwisely followed him. PMAnderson reported me by hiding his first revert, I provided a log showing his own 3RR. If I am blocked, then the other party should be too. It has not been explained why the other party could 3RR before me and get away with it: even if there is a fault in my own report, I should at least be explained what it is, so as to understand this 3RR. Judges' decisions are always justified with their rationales. 3RR report and counter-report are both here.

Decline reason:

No reason for unblocking provided. — jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 14:51, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

{{unreferenced}}

{{Unreferenced}} should be used only on articles that have no sources (references or external links). The {{Refimprove}} template is appropriate for articles with some sources but not enough. {{Unreferencedsect}} , {{Primarysources}}, or {{Citations}} may also work well for your purposes. Thanks--BirgitteSB 17:12, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

It just a general note since I have already changed the article. But here is the diff. I am just spreading a little information since the Oct 2007 category is manageable to look through right now with only two days of edits, it not meant to offend you. The backlog is on June 2006, and I don't think we will ever make any headway with 83,256 articles in the master category without a little bit of an education campaign.

I will have to look into the archive. I am not very technical and I can't figure out to do it without screwing up the history. Until last month I had just left the page as it was naturally. But I will watch here if you have a reply to not inconvenience you.

If you are mad actually about the tag, don't worry I am not going to edit war over it or anything if you change it back. I don't mean to offend you, but everyone takes these things differently and you can't please everyone. Otherwise I hope you have a nice day--BirgitteSB 18:44, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Re: Bot en:User:AlleborgoBot suspended for breaking templates

Hi. My bot has no bug. The problem affect every bot in the world which uses pywikipedia framework. This problem is very well known by the developer team but still has no solution. Anyway, the method that everyone uses till now is: never run the bot over templates. I've always done that, but, recently I've run a particular script with the option "-namespace:0" (to run only on pages in namespace 0) but that options work only in the replace.py script and not in interwiki.py script. Probably those last two lines are obscure for you, so, don't warry: the problem there will not be again. Bye. --Alleborgo 18:20, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

(This refers to an Italian bot being suspended [2] and a bug report on it.Wikipedia [3])

The last two lines are indeed a bit esoteric to me, but as long as you know what you're doing that's OK ;-) Finding a workaround so as to interwikify at least the easy templates would be useful, though. — Komusou ^talk @ 18:37, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I see it now that I compare the two boxes, they're very similar. I don't want to sound ungrateful, and thanks for the notice, but I don't think that alt-hookers (oy!) should get a box saying they nominated the article: writing an article is hard work, nominating one is prolly hard too (since it means reading and evaluating a lot of new articles in order to find a DYK-worthy one), but doing an alt hook is comparatively just quick fun.

I'm in email contact with him now. Although I haven't broached the subject, I just have a feeling he may not be as supportive of his country developing nuclear weapons now as he was then - while the subject's will should never override neutral, sourced article content, I do not want him featured on the main page for his connection to this proposal when we can probably find something better.

Hello, I was away, hence the delay:

• Another hook? Sure, what about: "He is very fond of jazz, especially Nuke Ellington" — kidding! kidding! ;-)
• Seriously, note that my alt hook was careful to have "in 1987", which was true and factual, whichever position he could have had nowadays. Also, from his article, the "Black Bomb" thing was clearly the money shot, hook-wise. (Besides, that was also the basis for your own hook.)
• With respect to my re-nominating an article you had withdrawn, I don't think there was a lack of courtesy: Wikipedia is not censored, and our first courtesy should be to readers, i.e. bringing interesting facts leading to good articles.

{{lowercase}}

I see you added the {{lowercase}} template to badge of shame. Is this recommended for all pages whose titles are not proper nouns? Dhaluza 00:28, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, it's from July 2007 and not in the MOS:

• Theoretically, yes, it's like on Wiktionary since some years: common nouns are supposed to have the page title lowercase to reflect their nature, and to allow linking via a direct copy-paste – see also rationales at {{Lowercase}}.
• In practice, I have seen people who seem to believe that the Wikipedia developers have programmed the new DISPLAYTITLE magic word (wrapped by Lowercase) solely for the purpose of enforcing eBay and iPod's trademarks on Wikipedia, and as a result they delete the template.

I suppose that to have peace would require to find back the archives of the old discussions that led to requesting DISPLAYTITLE from the developers, plus the Bugzilla entry where developers commented about it, and to work more instructions into one of the MOS page... Sigh. — Komusou ^talk @ 20:20, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Orange snow

Followup-to: Talk:2007 Siberian orange snow#Siberia controversy

I would like to point out that it is generally considered very rude to utilize generic newbie-oriented templates when bringing something to the attention of established editors. Regarding the edit in question, an average reader may, of course, not know the precise location of Omsk Oblast, but considering that the article is titled "2007 Siberian orange snow" and that "Omsk Oblast" is a blue link which can be followed to get more information, specifying "Siberia" in the lead is indeed redundant. What's more, if you take time to actually read the Siberia article, you will see that the definition of this general area is too vague and broad to be of much help to an average reader.

I will appreciate it if you kindly reverted your most recent edit, but, of course, I am not going to waste any more of my time on this if you choose not to do so, as the issue is rather minor. Best,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 18:45, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Komusou, regarding this, perhaps you would you care to explain us your interpretation of WP:OBVIOUS in more details? I am particularly interested to hear your opinion as to how it is not obvious that "2007 Siberian orange snow" fell, well, in Siberia. Also, location-wise, if you believe that identifying an area by federal subject is insufficient, how would you propose to clarify locations of, say, Nalchik, Tolyatti, or Petrozavodsk? Somehow I sincerely doubt that saying that "Nalchik is located in Kabardino-Balkaria, Southern Federal District", "Tambov is located in Samara Oblast, Volga Federal District", and "Petrozavodsk is located in Karelia, Northwestern Federal District" is going to clarify much for an average reader who, according to your interpretation of the guideline, is incapable of following a link to an article about a federal subject in order to find out just where in Russia it is located anyway.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 20:57, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Some answers:

• The article is supposed to be self-sufficient, and its MediaWiki page header isn't part of it. That's why the article title is usually namechecked in bold at the start of the lead. Similarly, an article's main redirects are usually added in bold in the lead, even though the page header says "Redirected from redirectname".
  • "Omsk Oblast" is self-sufficient enough (and I am saying this based on the fact that yours is the first complaint regarding this I've heard in three years I've been with Wikipedia). Of course, there will always be people who have no idea where it is, but it does not mean that every subnational entity of every country that happens to be mentioned in the lead of some article must be clarified to the point of absurdity. For example, there are many English-speaking people who would have no idea where Wisconsin is located. It does not mean that every time Wisconsin is mentioned in the lead we should refer to it as "Wisconsin, Midwest, United States". This is not what "self-sufficient" means at all. Lines must be drawn somewhere, and in case of Russia, it is drawn on the level of federal subjects in 99% of cases.
• The WP:LEAD too is supposed to by a standalone summary of the article, not counting the title. One of the projects of Wikipedia is to make a concise CD-ROM with only the leads of the articles.
  • Pretty much the same as above. The CD-ROM version will retain the links, so a reader will always be able to check just where Omsk Oblast is. Plus, even if you see this as a problem, it would still be a problem with the examples I outlined above (with Nalchik, Tolyatti, and Petrozavodsk)—those need a lot more clarification that simply specifying the federal district, as there would not be a convenient lazy term such as "Siberia" available. Over-clarification in those cases, however, would be against WP:LEAD, as the lead must also be consise.
• Articles are supposed to be reasonably independant, readers are not supposed to have to click on every blue word just to get the most basic facts (where/when/what is the word). That's why it's common to write something such as "...during the Third Crusade (1189–1192)..." because the reader shouldn't have to click just to know when this fact happens in the biography he is reading.
  • Again, how is adding a federal district solves this problem for Nalchik, Tolyatti, and Petrozavodsk? You'll need a lot more than an additional clause to specify their locations.
• Wikipedia is intended to be mirrored on tons of other sites, that do not necessarily display the page header, or not as prominently, or do it only way up in the browser's titlebar. The content of the article is the wikisource, not the page header.
  • That is not our problem; that is the problem of the sites that mirror Wikipedia.
• Many people print or download articles for later reading and don't have hyperlinks available. Many people copy-paste parts of an article to email to friends or post on their blog, and our prose should be reasonably self-sufficient. Many people consult Wikipedia on handheld devices with small bandwith and don't have the luxury of clicking and loading everything for every word.
  • As someone who regularly peruses Wikipedia on a handheld device, I assure you there are many more problems with this means of access than a simple hesitation to follow an extra link. The title of the article, however, shows without any problems both in print and on a handheld device. As for copypasting parts of articles, it is impossible to make sure that any random part of any article is self-sufficient and unambigous. All in all, a very weak argument.
• Many people won't notice the title or won't make the link or may even see the title and think that "Siberian orange snow" means a snow coming from Siberia but fallen out of Siberia in that Omsk Oblast place. Wikipedia isn't elitist and is also for kids, senior folks, and plain dumb people.
  • Again, a line must be drawn somewhere. Just because dumb people read Wikipedia does not mean that we have to dumb down our content to their level. I see "Omsk Oblast, Siberia" as nothing more as dumbing down, because "Siberia", according to some definitions, covers pretty much most of the territory of Russia. "Siberian Federal District" is more specific and accurate, but the approach is flawed due to the reasons I outlined in above responses.
• (Actually even Omsk Oblast is an ultra-lame name for the English-speaking wiki, it should be "Omsk State" (as most English documents on .ru sites) or "Omsk Province" or at least "the state of Omsk Oblast". Most reader will think there the snow has fallen in a town named "Omsk Oblast", and why shouldn't they think that? They have no reason to know what an oblast is, and not even a reason to click the link. WP:OBVIOUS is about these things, too.)
  • Omsk Oblast is not a state, it's a federal subject (constituent member of the Federation) with a status of an oblast. A republic would be a rough equivalent of a state, if you insist on dumbing down the terminology. If you are proposing that we should abolish serious terminology in favor of laymen terms and English terms used by Russian (!) websites, you very much disappoint me as an editor. "Oblast", "krai", "okrug" are the terms used in the English-language research papers on the subject of Russian subdivisions. Saying a "state of Omsk Oblast" is just as ignorant as calling an assignment statement "a math equation". Terminology is terminology is terminology. We are writing an encyclopedia here, not a "Compendum of Simplified, Dumbed-Down, and Occasionally Inaccurate (but Only for the Sake of Simplicity!) Facts for Dumb People".
• And last but not least, the district is not for all Russian articles but only this one, because this article needs to namecheck "Siberia" somehow. All articles in the Reference section are about the "Siberian snow", too, that's the common name in the English-speaking world. The article's lead has to namecheck Siberia. Since you and your friend deleted it twice, I had to use the clumsier district instead.
  • Goudzovski is not my friend; he is a fellow editor who made a decision to revert your edit on his own. "Siberia" is just too vague of a term to be of much help; you might as well just use "Russia". There is no need to overexplain every unfamiliar term (such as oblast) to readers; that's why we have links in the first place. The article is about a phenomenon (orange snow), not about where Omsk Oblast is located in relation to the rest of Russia. It is titled "Siberian" orange snow, the precise location is given (Omsk Oblast) and clarified even further (near Kazakhstan). That, in addition to availability of links (Omsk Oblast, Tomsk Oblast, Tyumen Oblast, Kazakhstan, Russia), is more than sufficient for a reader to get an idea of the location without us having to resort to vague but "familiar" terms such as "Siberia".—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 22:29, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

No Personal Attacks

Komusou, I admonished Southern Texas for his personal attack and "internationals". I'm going to do the same with you. Your response to him was not very civil.Balloonman (talk) 23:09, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

All right, but could you please point to me which word or sentence wasn't civil enough? I don't mean to contest or argue, I'd just like to understand what not to say again and why. I looked back at my comments and am unsure what's the rub vs. what's okay: is it the crack with smiley? Or the quoted "international users"? — Komusou ^talk @ 16:03, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that is the quote that I am pointing to... I know that you are responding to a personal attack, but sarcasm is not the appropriate response. If I hadn't already intervened with STX, then your response could have resulted in a flame war.Balloonman (talk) 16:14, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Er, sorry for being thick, but I still don't know if you meant (1) the fake DYK with smiley, (2) the "international users", (3) both, or (4) the whole comment? — Komusou ^talk @ 16:25, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

The whole comment: DYK ...that "international" is a put-down in Texas, USA? ;-) The other stuff that went on I didn't really have any concerns about. But here you are making a personal attack and attacking the entire state of Texas.Balloonman (talk) 19:12, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Ah, yes. I thought it humorous in context, but I see your point. Thanks. — Komusou ^talk @ 13:49, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

NP I probably wouldn't have said anything if I hadn't already admonished STX for his incivility, but since I had, I felt that I had to warn both sides.Balloonman (talk) 14:54, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Just as a note, I wasn't "a side", since it was an argument between STX and a DYK admin – I had butted in precisely to provide a "3rd opinion" from an uninvolved fellow nominator.

The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Policies about non-sovereign sub-nationalities

Hello.

I've joined up just to ask you a question:

What was the result of the question you asked entitled "Policies about non-sovereign sub-nationalities?" in 2007?

I have just wondered the same thing myself, and so went looking for the answer in the FAQ, the archives, the help desk, etc. I found your question, and a link to an admin discussion area, but I could not find the answer.

I notice that the nationality in biographies still says British or English, and I'm thinking it doesn't feel right. Is there no rigid policy?

Proposed deletion of List of minor Mulliner characters

The article List of minor Mulliner characters has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Completely unsourced. WP:BEFORE shows no reliable third-party sources to establish notability for this topic. Almost all entries are simply a name and a profession. They have all been tagged for expansion since 2008 and safe to say that expansion isn't coming.

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 page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
