I saw this and got curious. WP:DWIP is currently in use 48 times. WP:POINT is in use 26409 times (550 times more frequently). I fail to see the point of DWIP anyway. It's not an appropriate acronym; that would be WP:DNDWTIAP, or WP:DDWIP maybe, but who would even use those? Obviously WP:POINT is the one with traction. Maybe we should delete WP:DWIP as confusing at first pass? I had to look it up, as did you. We can save others the effort. What do you think? -- Hammersoft ( talk) 17:52, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

[2]The issue raised on the Talking Page of KKK is an issue of definition of terms being used in regards to ' Far-right' vs. ' Alt-right' in the USA. Many people see and embrace a very conservative form of politics and consider groups like the Tea Party movement to be 'far-right' but would shy away from calling them 'alt-right'. The problem is that in the USA, the term 'far-right' generally has more of a political overtone where as the 'alt-right' has more of a street protest connotation. Yes, the terms and even the movements are mixed up and overlap without clear lines, but the editor might have had a point to consider at the end of the day. C. W.

Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention. I considered this a minor change for the longest time – clearly, I have not given it enough thought, and I'm glad to be reminded that I still have a lot to learn about this site. In the future, I will definitely seek consensus before making a similar change, and I suspect I'll have to revisit a good number of my old edits after this. As for this particular edit, I think I'll put off a discussion until I have the time to read through the previous discussions about reference order and reevaluate the sources in the article (although from what I've read so far, I'm not sure I will ever start a discussion, since I suspect I'll agree with your judgement in any case). Thanks again, and I hope you have a good rest of your week! Best, Me, Myself & I (☮) ( talk) 04:55, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
I saw you made an intervening edit while I was cleaning up some broken refs - it was a minor edit, but I am working with a 1RR restriction (it may have been lifted but I would have to check) - anyway, if you don't have any objections ok I am going to keep editing the article...I'm not sure it counts as multiple reverts anyway as long as it could have been one continuous edit, but I don't feel like having an argument about that with a sanctioning admin Seraphim System ( talk) 01:11, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
I can't believe we don't have an article on this - I must just be looking in the wrong place. The context to this is a Genesis concert filmed there in 1981, where the New York Times said "the group's rare club appearance Saturday at the Savoy had the aura of a major rock event". [1] So, where's the article? I don't believe a major gig would have taken place at a venue we don't cover.

Breaking up a long quote this way preserves all the essential information of the quote, but also improves readability. Unfortunately, the editing atmosphere on the article is so hostile that even minor good faith attempts to improve the prose quality of the article are turning into content disputes, assuming bad faith about editors motives for editing the article, personalizing disputes, etc. Seraphim System ( talk) 01:48, 17 April 2018 (UTC)"According to Douglas Niewyk, denial may be distinguished from legitimate historical revisionism which seeks to improve "aspects of the story for which evidence is incongruous or absent".

You wrote "That might be a valid argument for 'off-brand' publishers, but no one's going to evaluate the reliability of the Yale University Press or Random House by consulting our articles on those publishers, nor should they have to."
I take your point and certainly you and I are completely familiar with such publishers. But I write with the interests of English language readers worldwide, which includes young readers in South Africa, India, Jamaica, Japan and China. And so on. I concede that only a tiny percentage of readers will click those links, but anyone who does will learn a little bit about a major publishing house, which I consider a good thing. Not a big deal, but I am posting my thoughts here, since the issue is a distraction from the main point at ANI. Take care. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 02:15, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Upon visiting this dab page, I noticed the two entries under header "Film" — Naughty But Nice (1927 film) and Naughty But Nice (1939 film) — both with uppercase "B".
However, the main title headers of those articles depict one uppercase "B" — Naughty But Nice (1927 film) and one lowercase "b" — Naughty but Nice (1939 film). In view of your 2014 comments on this subject both at Talk:Naughty But Nice (1927 film) and at Talk:Naughty but Nice (1939 film), I would like to consult with you regarding remedying this inconsistency since all the other dab page entries depict a lowercase "b" in "but".
Do you still hold the same feeling regarding this topic as you did in 2014 and would you have any objections to the 1927 film's "But" being moved to "but"? Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 02:06, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
@ Roman Spinner: Thanks for waiting. Yes, I do still agree with the position I took in 2014, and the evidence I presented then is still valid, so I would indeed object to the 1927 film's title being changed to a small "b". Although that would be consistent with the Wikipedia MOS, it is not the title of the film as listed by those reliable and authoritative sources I provided.

Continuing discussion on that edit, I was just looking to see if there was a paragraph I could drop as "don't need to know right now, as long as it's covered later", and that seemed to me to fit the bill.

I randomly ran across you being unnecessarily threatening (a while back) to another editor, over something as trivial as dashes. That seemed out of character. But more to the point, what you said here is incorrect, in being overbroad and misunderstanding the nature of what the early disputes were about.
We are definitely supposed to normalize to EITHER spaced en dash OR unspaced em dash in the same article. (For this use of dashes, that is; there are uses of en dashes for which em dashes are never substituted, as in constructions like "Dunning–Kruger effect").
What's discouraged per MOS:RETAIN, etc., is taking an article that uses spaced en dashes consistently and converting it to use unspaced em dashes, or vice versa, just to assert a preference. What's encouraged is fixing inconsistent usage in the same article (on any MoS matters).
It's also perfectly fine to convert unnecessary HTML character entity codes to Unicode dash characters, though that kind of edit is trivial enough that people may complain if you make it without also doing something more substantive like at least fixing a grammar error or a typo, because it triggered their watchlist over something that doesn't make any visual difference in the article, something that isn't really broken.
But the edit you reverted rather hostilely was perfectly legitimate; the HTML→Unicode cleanup trivia was also accompanied by a dash consistency edit that's encouraged not discouraged. Please reserve your dash complaints for people going around converting all spaced en dashes to unspaced em dashes or vice versa for no reason.

I'm not able to post on WP:ANI (it is currently protected), but have made some comments on the talk page for the International Art Museum of America article.

If I recall correctly this IBAN (which is way too highly structured and subjective) says that the thread must be directly about BR. So for example at my recent weekend visit to AE, I thought there was a violation where BR was mentioned, even though there was no essential reason for him to be mentioned at all. In my opinion the only way IBAN or TBAN restrictions are workable is when they are very broad, bright-line rules. In this case, I thought it was the wrong remedy from the start, because the problem was not specific to BR. SPECIFICO talk 22:39, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Not taking a position on anything, but for my own benefit, will you help me get this straight in my head? So, an editor can be filed against at AE (which for some reason I thought was sorta the 2nd highest court) and also be filed against at AN/I while AE is in session, despite there having been a 1st AN/I case that directed the problem to AE? Is that not like WP:forumshopping? I'm not understanding the reason for having 2 cases going on at the same time (not to mention the fact he's blocked but with TP access). The problem is behavior, and the purpose of both noticeboards (or any admin action) is to stop disruption, correct?

It's clear that "independent" should not be capitalized in a sentence (except if it's the first word), as is the usage in Independent politician, because it is a common noun and not a proper noun, like Republican.

You said "If a polity blocks a site". No political entity has blocked the site. The owner of the site themselves decided to make the website inaccessible to European users.
The site owners fear they'll be liable for a fine under the

I appreciate the advice but as someone who has suffered admin abuse and an unjust block forever staining my log, I have little sympathy for those who abuse their power in a clearly unwarranted and ignorant ways. It is entirely too difficult to remove a bit from an admin once they've gotten it. I've seen three cases, none of them resulted in removal. Quite frankly, it's the same way I feel about police violence. If I were an admin and I saw another admin acting that way, I would be ripping them a new one because they make my job that much harder. Granted it doesn't have the real life consequences, but it's still important. Did I go too far? Possibly. But I really was laughing out of disbelief after learning that, in addition to the bad block, in addition to editing against consensus, he also violated his very clear topic ban.

Does Wiki have a policy about "Further reading" sections? If you look around, you can see that many articles have "Further reading" sections. For example, here, here, and here. Sometimes there is also a "Sources" section with book titles, as for example here. Without putting a book title under a heading of some kind, it gets lost in the article. No one can find it. Would you object to putting Mike Welding's Alt-Right book under the heading "Sources"? Chisme ( talk) 16:53, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

I saw this and got curious. WP:DWIP is currently in use 48 times. WP:POINT is in use 26409 times (550 times more frequently). I fail to see the point of DWIP anyway. It's not an appropriate acronym; that would be WP:DNDWTIAP, or WP:DDWIP maybe, but who would even use those? Obviously WP:POINT is the one with traction. Maybe we should delete WP:DWIP as confusing at first pass? I had to look it up, as did you. We can save others the effort. What do you think? -- Hammersoft ( talk) 17:52, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

[2]The issue raised on the Talking Page of KKK is an issue of definition of terms being used in regards to ' Far-right' vs. ' Alt-right' in the USA. Many people see and embrace a very conservative form of politics and consider groups like the Tea Party movement to be 'far-right' but would shy away from calling them 'alt-right'. The problem is that in the USA, the term 'far-right' generally has more of a political overtone where as the 'alt-right' has more of a street protest connotation. Yes, the terms and even the movements are mixed up and overlap without clear lines, but the editor might have had a point to consider at the end of the day. C. W.

Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention. I considered this a minor change for the longest time – clearly, I have not given it enough thought, and I'm glad to be reminded that I still have a lot to learn about this site. In the future, I will definitely seek consensus before making a similar change, and I suspect I'll have to revisit a good number of my old edits after this. As for this particular edit, I think I'll put off a discussion until I have the time to read through the previous discussions about reference order and reevaluate the sources in the article (although from what I've read so far, I'm not sure I will ever start a discussion, since I suspect I'll agree with your judgement in any case).

I saw you made an intervening edit while I was cleaning up some broken refs - it was a minor edit, but I am working with a 1RR restriction (it may have been lifted but I would have to check) - anyway, if you don't have any objections ok I am going to keep editing the article...I'm not sure it counts as multiple reverts anyway as long as it could have been one continuous edit, but I don't feel like having an argument about that with a sanctioning admin Seraphim System ( talk) 01:11, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Breaking up a long quote this way preserves all the essential information of the quote, but also improves readability. Unfortunately, the editing atmosphere on the article is so hostile that even minor good faith attempts to improve the prose quality of the article are turning into content disputes, assuming bad faith about editors motives for editing the article, personalizing disputes, etc. Seraphim System ( talk) 01:48, 17 April 2018 (UTC)"According to Douglas Niewyk, denial may be distinguished from legitimate historical revisionism which seeks to improve "aspects of the story for which evidence is incongruous or absent".

You wrote "That might be a valid argument for 'off-brand' publishers, but no one's going to evaluate the reliability of the Yale University Press or Random House by consulting our articles on those publishers, nor should they have to."
I take your point and certainly you and I are completely familiar with such publishers. But I write with the interests of English language readers worldwide, which includes young readers in South Africa, India, Jamaica, Japan and China. And so on. I concede that only a tiny percentage of readers will click those links, but anyone who does will learn a little bit about a major publishing house, which I consider a good thing.

Upon visiting this dab page, I noticed the two entries under header "Film" — Naughty But Nice (1927 film) and Naughty But Nice (1939 film) — both with uppercase "B".
However, the main title headers of those articles depict one uppercase "B" — Naughty But Nice (1927 film) and one lowercase "b" — Naughty but Nice (1939 film). In view of your 2014 comments on this subject both at Talk:Naughty But Nice (1927 film) and at Talk:Naughty but Nice (1939 film), I would like to consult with you regarding remedying this inconsistency since all the other dab page entries depict a lowercase "b" in "but".
Do you still hold the same feeling regarding this topic as you did in 2014 and would you have any objections to the 1927 film's "But" being moved to "but"? Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 02:06, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
@ Roman Spinner: Thanks for waiting. Yes, I do still agree with the position I took in 2014, and the evidence I presented then is still valid, so I would indeed object to the 1927 film's title being changed to a small "b". Although that would be consistent with the Wikipedia MOS, it is not the title of the film as listed by those reliable and authoritative sources I provided.

I randomly ran across you being unnecessarily threatening (a while back) to another editor, over something as trivial as dashes. That seemed out of character. But more to the point, what you said here is incorrect, in being overbroad and misunderstanding the nature of what the early disputes were about.
We are definitely supposed to normalize to EITHER spaced en dash OR unspaced em dash in the same article. (For this use of dashes, that is; there are uses of en dashes for which em dashes are never substituted, as in constructions like "Dunning–Kruger effect").
What's discouraged per MOS:RETAIN, etc., is taking an article that uses spaced en dashes consistently and converting it to use unspaced em dashes, or vice versa, just to assert a preference. What's encouraged is fixing inconsistent usage in the same article (on any MoS matters).
It's also perfectly fine to convert unnecessary HTML character entity codes to Unicode dash characters, though that kind of edit is trivial enough that people may complain if you make it without also doing something more substantive like at least fixing a grammar error or a typo, because it triggered their watchlist over something that doesn't make any visual difference in the article, something that isn't really broken.
But the edit you reverted rather hostilely was perfectly legitimate; the HTML→Unicode cleanup trivia was also accompanied by a dash consistency edit that's encouraged not discouraged. Please reserve your dash complaints for people going around converting all spaced en dashes to unspaced em dashes or vice versa for no reason.

I'm not able to post on WP:ANI (it is currently protected), but have made some comments on the talk page for the International Art Museum of America article.

If I recall correctly this IBAN (which is way too highly structured and subjective) says that the thread must be directly about BR. So for example at my recent weekend visit to AE, I thought there was a violation where BR was mentioned, even though there was no essential reason for him to be mentioned at all. In my opinion the only way IBAN or TBAN restrictions are workable is when they are very broad, bright-line rules. In this case, I thought it was the wrong remedy from the start, because the problem was not specific to BR. SPECIFICO talk 22:39, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Not taking a position on anything, but for my own benefit, will you help me get this straight in my head? So, an editor can be filed against at AE (which for some reason I thought was sorta the 2nd highest court) and also be filed against at AN/I while AE is in session, despite there having been a 1st AN/I case that directed the problem to AE? Is that not like WP:forumshopping? I'm not understanding the reason for having 2 cases going on at the same time (not to mention the fact he's blocked but with TP access). The problem is behavior, and the purpose of both noticeboards (or any admin action) is to stop disruption, correct?

It's clear that "independent" should not be capitalized in a sentence (except if it's the first word), as is the usage in Independent politician, because it is a common noun and not a proper noun, like Republican.

The site owners fear they'll be liable for a fine under the

I appreciate the advice but as someone who has suffered admin abuse and an unjust block forever staining my log, I have little sympathy for those who abuse their power in a clearly unwarranted and ignorant ways. It is entirely too difficult to remove a bit from an admin once they've gotten it. I've seen three cases, none of them resulted in removal. Quite frankly, it's the same way I feel about police violence. If I were an admin and I saw another admin acting that way, I would be ripping them a new one because they make my job that much harder. Granted it doesn't have the real life consequences, but it's still important. Did I go too far? Possibly. But I really was laughing out of disbelief after learning that, in addition to the bad block, in addition to editing against consensus, he also violated his very clear topic ban.

Hi Beyond My Ken,
The Anti-Harassment Tools team built the Interaction Timeline to make it easier to understand how two people interact and converse across multiple pages on a wiki. The tool shows a chronological list of edits made by two users, only on pages where they have both made edits within the provided time range. Our goals are to assist users to make well informed decisions in incidents of user misconduct and to keep on-wiki discussions civil and focused on evidence.

Does Wiki have a policy about "Further reading" sections? If you look around, you can see that many articles have "Further reading" sections. For example, here, here, and here. Sometimes there is also a "Sources" section with book titles, as for example here. Without putting a book title under a heading of some kind, it gets lost in the article. No one can find it. Would you object to putting Mike Welding's Alt-Right book under the heading "Sources"? Chisme ( talk) 16:53, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
