2019 US Banknote Contest

	US Banknote Contest
	November-December 2019
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here

Unknown edit

Hello, I received a message from you (see below) regarding an edit to 'boat' - I did not make this edit and have never edited this page. Thanks

Hello, I'm Wikipelli. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to Boat, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Damon Runyon's short story "Dancing Dan's Christmas" is a fun read if you have the time. Right from the start it extols the virtues of the hot Tom and Jerry This hot Tom and Jerry is an old-time drink that is once used by one and all in this country to celebrate Christmas with, and in fact it is once so popular that many people think Christmas is invented only to furnish an excuse for hot Tom and Jerry, although of course this is by no means true. No matter what concoction is your favorite to imbibe during this festive season I would like to toast you with it and to thank you for all your work here at the 'pedia this past year.

Patti McKinnel of Logan School.

Just because I have corrected the record to include negative information about the schools founder does not make the information "non-neutral." It is factual in the same way that calling hitler an antisemite is factual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.173.249.196 (talk) 23:22, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

First, it's non-neutral because it is a subjective opinion - your opinion, the opinion of many, it doesn't matter. It's not verifiable. Second, it is not cited in your edit. If you have a reliable source that you can cite to verify your claim, then you need to add it. Otherwise, it is subjective editing and will be removed.Wikipelli ^Talk 23:25, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

You are a remarkable editor in many ways. You would be a good administrator, in my opinion, and appear to be well qualified. You personify an administrator without tools and have gained my support already!

Have you ever considered becoming an administrator? Not only are you an editor of over a decade, but on your user page, you mention having worked as an educator for over three decades. This experience qualifies you very well for administratorship. Anerisys (talk) 12:05, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Edits

Hello Wikipelli. I'm Gay. Dont laugh thats my name. I Believe in the right to think my own thoughts so I appreciate YOur interest in my writig. I find most people Are Not advance enough to Understand what I am getting at but I feel u are different with your inciteful view into my think. Ya see what im saying? 11 yrs ago I was fortunate enough to find myself at the edfe of a croswalk when the bus came and caught it immediately and my old Mentor was abroad thinking t hat it was just a crazy coicidence. but I knew it was more. When the bus hit meI saw a sign that the Time was over for me and I would now never be the same. I took up my Cross to Amsterdam as Christ suffered his. Unbeleavable things have happen to me sincethen, a drunk man stumbled by and left a book that changed my life, it was Poems of Roger Siccarett, and thereby I fFound my original look at life. I have now since discover the way to advnance all knowledge by deriving in syllogism from any word any other information that can be imagined. For instance a definition of "apple" is .the round fruit of a tree of the rose family, which typically has thin red or green skin and crisp flesh. and so from this we can deduce the exietence of trees, roses, flowers, biologicL relatons, skin, pattern Recognition, and then from so on each of those things you can deduce all form of life, Sun must exist if their are trees, etc, if u only have advanced enough compuntational iexcigitation.

Revision of an edit.

Why'd you change my addition? Dboi$lim (talk) 16:00, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi, Dboi$lim. I reverted your edit mostly because it appears to be an opinion rather than a verifiable fact. You added, "Yasuke may as well be described as a superhero, for the time period. A bad ass, hella strong superhero." Using words such as "may as well be" and referring to someone as a 'bad ass' can really only be regarded as opinion. Please stick to referenced, verifiable facts rather than your personal thoughts about the subject. Thanks for the question. If that doesn't clear it up, please let me know.

Edits in Naalayira Divya Prabandham

Hi. One of the edits that you reverted a while ago in the article Naalayira Divya Prabandham by User:Chronikhiles appears okay to me, especially those other than the Tamil verse and its translations (if at all you consider removing the verse and the translation). For instance, the translation "Four Thousand Divine Hymns" is more precise and the spelling "Nammalvar" is the standard one (as in the article Nammalvar). The spelling "Nammaazhvaar", etc. are non-standard variants (perhaps a transliterated version found in sites such as "www.ramanuja.org"). Would you consider giving it a second glance? Thanks. Rasnaboy (talk) 13:46, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

I did a quick revert on the edit because it appeared to me to be opinion and, perhaps, OR... I reverted MY edit because I have to remember that I'm not out to revert 'bad' edits per se, just focus on vandalism. (I'm not always good about that) If that makes sense. I'm not saying the edit was a good one, but I reflected and decided that I felt it was a good faith edit.

Hey, could you please protect 2003 Midwest monkeypox outbreak and hide the revision history that I just reverted? It contained highly offensive material. I am sorry for not being able to do this, I do not know how to, but I wanted it removed ASAP because this is not okay at all. It's so sad that such vile people exist DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 23:40, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks.. Unfortunately, I can't protect pages myself, but the IP has been reported. The editor is apparently jumping around IP addresses to vandalize. Wikipelli ^Talk 23:46, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

hey thanks for the page

I actually wrote the book called Memetic Warfare. So for there to be a page called Memetic warfare seems to take my spot on wikipedia. Can you at least note inside this page that i am the auther of the book and that it is on amazon? only seems fair. I've read about 8 books on memetics and speak to Dr susan Blackmore and Daniel C Dennett about them. Gunnarmitchell (talk) 23:06, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

(by talk reader) @Gunnarmitchell: It does not matter to us what you did or didn't write. You don't have a spot on Wikipedia. Even if you were an expert, we do not allow original research. Per WP:V, you must provide citations to support content added and the content added can only summarize what the published source says. Usually even a lazy author would bother to cite their own books. Perhaps Wikipedia is not the website for you. Chris Troutman (talk) 23:17, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

so you think you are better at memetic warfare than I? Gunnarmitchell (talk) 23:19, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

That's not what Chris Troutman said at all. You wrote "a" book called Memetic Warfare. You are welcome to start a page about your book (though, it's not recommended that authors create pages about their own books).

The fact that you called your book, Memetic Warfare, indicates that it exists as a concept and, thus, has a wikipedia page describing the phenomenon. You don't have rights to the concept of Memetic Warfare. Please read up on editing rules and guidelines before getting into trouble again. Ask if you need help! Wikipelli ^Talk 23:43, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for reverting the vandalism made by that IP address on the Johnson city page. I had just seen it but it looks like you beat me to the punch :).

I have looked into it and it seems like that IP address is a school's.

Thanks for the heads-up, Lavalizard101. I've put an apology on DarkMatterMan4500's talk page. Wikipelli ^Talk 20:10, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

I don't see any conflict of interesting the aforementioned edits only a clarification that emphasizes a neutral standpoint that doesn't show bias. You must be mistaken. 2601:681:8800:7110:F420:162:F2A5:E108 (talk) 23:42, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

I agree. Immediately after reverting your edit and placing a warning on your page, I changed back to your edit on the page. The 'warning' on your talk page was supposed to be changed to a standard "Welcome" message. I don't know why it became a Conflict of Interest Message. Good edit on your part. Sorry for the mistake. I'll change that now.  :) Wikipelli ^Talk 23:48, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi

Please don't revert good faith edits just because bold, or made by a non-logging editor. Our acceptance of non-logging editors dates back to the founding of WP, as does our commitment to allowing bold edits. If there are specific problems with good faith edits, attend to them—but do not just remove them all, good with the bad. We do not move things forward by doing that, even though it is often easiest. Cheers. A former prof. 2601:246:C700:14C:D59A:9D2C:7036:7F76 (talk) 00:26, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

STOP HARASSING ME

Previous message

Hi. I wasn't finished editing. I teach health...public too. Student informed me this page had no mention. I would hardly call what I wrote as not constructive or vandalism. Noticed you didn't add on your own fix. Strange, but your quick action reveals plenty. Just so you know you can make whoopee using jelly ;) 65.95.5.150 (talk) 00:51, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

First, this is NOT the account that made the edit that I reverted. I don't know why, but you're commenting on something between me and another editor.

Second, the edit in question constituted medical advice rather than factual information. Additionally, there was no source cited for the warning.

Please consult WP Help before attempting to edit to add medical information or warnings. Wikipelli ^Talk 14:39, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

You reverted a change, how should I do the change

Hi, Please let me know how I can put this information/query into the article. Dr.gregory.retzlaff (talk) 17:51, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi... Well, it's a case of putting 'non-information' into the article. If the reason for the cover photo was known, then the reason could be added (along with a source for the information). You're simply saying that "It is currently unknown why a poor emaciated black boy is the album cover photo.". First, is that true? Is it established that there is no-one at all that knows why that's the photo? I would guess that someone knows. Second, someone might just as easily put, "It is currently unknown why the colors of the cover are sepia rather than true colors" or, "It is currently unknown why the specific font was used for the title on the cover". Just my opinion, but the list of things we don't know could go on and on. I think for an encyclopedia, we need to find the information and include it rather than listing the things we don't know. Cheers! Wikipelli ^Talk 17:57, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

For what it's worth, here is your answer. It took me one search on google - about 90 seconds. Wikipelli ^Talk 18:00, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Kara Swisher

Hello Why are direct quotes from transcripts of interviews with the source person not considered sufficient source material? Desktopkiwi (talk) 00:05, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

You did not cite the source of the new information in the edit you made Wikipelli ^Talk 00:13, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

So it was the change in the headline that made you withdraw all my other well-sourced edits within the text? I concur that that the changed headline and adding of height to the Infobux were a stretch encyclopedia-wise, but I found it to be in the gist of Swisher. I am a wiki newbie and have possibly been using the edit and publish tool too incessantly, apologies. But surely not all of the added material should be withdrawn? Desktopkiwi (talk) 00:18, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

The only information that I reverted (withdrew) was the headline change and the place of birth that you added. Another editor before me reverted several other edits. My only concern was the 1 edit you made that I cited above. I'm sure it appears that I took out more than I did, but if you click on 'History' for the article, you'll see that wasn't the case. I notice that you have already left a message on the other editor's talk page. Please bear in mind that, when you're editing a Biography of a Living Person, greater care is expected to cite all sources of information. If you have other questions, please don't hesitate to let me know! Cheers! Wikipelli ^Talk 00:25, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Ok, I see that now. Had I provided the source already listed in the article for the quote, https://www.fastcompany.com/4008853/recodes-kara-swisher-really-wants-to-run-for-mayor-im-the-liberal-lesbian-donald-trump-of-san-francisco-2, would the changed headlines be deemed appropriate for A Biography of a Living Person? Desktopkiwi (talk) 00:31, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Yes.. that would work. The only caveat I would make is on the reliability of the source cited there. I'm not familiar with that outlet. That could be challenged. Wikipelli ^Talk 00:37, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Ok, so I go in an make those edits to the current article and source it with the FastCompany-article, it would ok? Desktopkiwi (talk) 00:45, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

I'll put it to you this way... I have no issues with it. I have no interest or ownership of the article about this person. My only issue was with an unsourced addition that you made. I know that the edit was a good faith edit and I appreciate the dialogue and the efforts to correct it.

Now, again, having said that, remember that I'm not the be-all-and-end-all. There might be other editors who challenge the source and/or the info. I haven't spent the time to check all info and sources on that article. Yours came up so I contacted you on it.

You're really on the right track. Read over the linked stuff I gave you on BLPs and reliable sources and you'll get a good start.

Once again, let me know if you have any other questions! I don't know everything but I'm more than happy to help out in any way I can! Wikipelli ^Talk 00:51, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Moreover, for the current edition of the article, where in source 12 and 13 do you find information backing the statement?

Please comment on this RfC

I support that "vs" replace "vs." and "v" in boxing match titles.

However, to get consensus on this issue, I've opened an RfC on the issue.

Please comment and offer your opinions on it.

Wikipedia is getting worse

Some problems are glaring. Obvious lengthy puff pieces from comics and writers. Major gaps in art and literature of the 20th century (No Stu Horn or any of his circle?). Unchallenged PR from companies.

Some issues are less obvious perhaps. An ongoing, seemingly worsening bias in favor of white male cis western writers and artists and scholars. A lack of any critique of powerful institutions self image unless there has been a recognized "controversy." A definite center right slant in any page on economics, social history. A tight erasure of and bias against newer points of view in certain topics such as the historicity or lack thereof of jesus. I don't think these are deliberate failings or that there is any person to blame. It is more about a lack of concerted in certain areas, and a historic lack of diversity in contributors and editors. What can be done? 2601:401:500:37A0:E5AF:72C8:306C:242 (talk) 00:55, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Well, I guess to answer, What can be done?, I'd say get busy!  :). I don't know who Stu Horn is or what circle he is in, but if you believe he's noteworthy, get busy creating an article. Check out the Help page on writing your first article and contribute!

Similarly, if you believe that all viewpoints are not represented or all facts are not being presented, you are encouraged to edit articles that you believe are lacking to include that information. Remember to be civil and productive and utilize the article's talk page to discuss changes.

The misconception is that there are just a handful of editors that make all the articles and others who critique them. This project is for YOU to contribute! If you need help at any time, please feel free to contact me. Wikipelli ^Talk 23:41, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
