Hello. I am Wikipedia editor Chynapras. I requested for Rollback right few days back but a bot told that my request was an “Automated comment”. Now I don’t know what is a Automated comment. If you don’t mind, could you please nominate me for Rollback right as I think I am an experienced enough editor for this right and I am also fighting vandalism lately. If you want, you can also tell me how can I request properly. But if you don’t want to nominate me for the right or don’t want to tell me how can I request properly, it’s all right but just let me know. Thank you. Chynapras ( talk) 11:46, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Just as a heads-up, the demonym bit of
Module:CountryAdjectiveDemonym used by {{
GetCountryNameFromAdjective}} doesn't seem to work. So for instance {{GetCountryNameFromAdjective|Philippine}}
and {{GetCountryNameFromAdjective|Martiniquan}}
work, but {{GetCountryNameFromAdjective|Filipino}}
and {{GetCountryNameFromAdjective|Martiniquais}}
don't. The Filipino one is annoying as it's widely used as an adjective.
Le Deluge (

{{
GetCountryNameFromAdjective|Filipino}}
shouldn't work, because Filipino is a demonym, not an adjective. I thought that the category system was fairly clean in that respect. Can you give me examples of categories that are causing trouble? --

@ MB: This is probably the tenth thread I've seen on the short description layout issue. At this point, the #1 impact on volunteer time the issue is having is likely that we just keep on reporting and discussing it over and over without it actually fixing it. No one can be expected to use a beta version of software (that goes contrary to its definition), so the top focus should be updating the stable release version of AWB. I'm not sure why no one working on AWB has done that yet; it's been months. {{u| Sdkb}} talk 23:14, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi, sorry to bother you, yours was the first account that came to mind in terms of categories. I came across some clear overcategorisation while looking through water polo players, so began this discussion at CfD for it. I definitely think the current level used for that sport: 'gender+nationality+position' is too much. I was also pushing for the deletion of a level up i.e 'nationality+position', but the creator of all of these has quite rightly pointed to the equivalents for ice hockey which have existed for well over a decade. I haven't checked every major sport but I was aware that football/soccer did not have such a level and have since confirmed that baseball and basketball don't either. So which is correct, this isn't really something specific to any one sport so I'm not sure why different rules seem to be being applied? Do you have any opinion on this, or are you aware of any recent discussion / consensus you could point me towards, I would imagine sports-related stuff like this gets brought up fairly often due to the level of interest? Thanks for any input you can give, please reply on whatever page you like and I'll link to any other relevant ones. Crowsus ( talk) 10:52, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

The tool typically used for this is User:Nardog/CatChangesViewer, however it doesn't work for this category specifically because this is a container category formerly populated by other categories which were deleted as empty, and the original emptying of those subcategories occurred (per the history of Wikipedia:Database reports/Empty categories) on April 20, which is more than 30 days ago and therefore outside the range of that tool.

Ok, so we disagree on our approaches to this issue and I'm sorry to intrude your talk page. I wanted to take the opportunity to apologise for any boorish behaviour, and for anything that might be misconstrued. I hope you believe that all I have here is the project in mind: my focus is on making it a better place. I wholeheartedly, sincerely and without reservation apologise if anything I've said or done has deflected from that aim, especially if it has been upsetting or disruptive to you. Life is short, and my time here is is all about making the things I love better, and I'm sorry if I've messed up with interpreting your own way of doing exactly what I'm doing. We want the best here for the project, both of us. I'm sorry, once again, to go against your request for me not post here, but I felt one last chance was worth the risk. I may not be here long enough to make amends, but I hope in the short term my apology will go some way to saying sorry. The Rambling Man ( Stay alert! Control the virus!

Hello, I noticed that you have several of your talk page archives under full protection. It is blocking maintenance edits. I became aware of it when I saw that my bot, which is doing a task of fixing html tag errors, is skipping the pages.

Sent by MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) on behalf of Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for Creation at 21:53, 7 July 2021 (UTC). If you do not wish to recieve future notification, please remove your name from the mailing list.
Regarding your message "restore spaces before cite parameters to improve usability. @ User:Uses x, please stop removing them". The Wikipedia:VisualEditor (an official tool developed by the Wikimedia Foundation) automatically removes the spaces in cite parameters when anything is done with the citation, including moving them. I'm not going to put the work in to scrub through the source to re-add them when that happens as it literally doesn't even matter.
Also, I'm not sure why you're adding archive links to literally every citation, as I've found that to be the greatest determent to usability (I've run into issues with it myself), while providing no benefit. NoMore404 (run by the Internet Archive) automatically archives a version of each page within 24 hours so adding the links isn't saving the information for the future, and when if the links go dead the Internet Archive Bot automatically adds the archive link and marks the link as dead. By adding them to every single citation, it just massively increases the page size making loading and rendering slower, it adds a bunch of useless information to go through in source mode, and it makes it harder for tools to go through the citations as they have twice the amount of links to deal with.
Regards, Uses x ( leave me a message) 17:40, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
VisualEditor still has many bugs and missing features. It seems that unnecessarily mangling the formatting is one of its bugs.
design decision. Do you have any evidence of that claim? And if so, do you have any evidence that there is community consensus for the tool to do that?
Hey. I ran into this in passing. You added {{Cleanup bare URLs|date=May 2021}}, but I didn't see any bare urls on that page. Error? Noting that I removed the tag prior to seeing that yours was the last edit (i.e. thinking someone had since fixed the issues). Regards, El_C 16:56, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
>http

Regarding your opposition to my removal of citations which back-up information referenced in the other article, in order to prevent WP:OVERCITE; I removed one opinion piece that makes a passing mention of the relevant text while the other article gives a comprehensive overview of the information, and another which has three mere relevant sentences stating that the party is "expected to select" the candidate while the other citation is a comprehensive overview of when she was selected.
This information is again backed up in near every article, and so it only needs a single citation. I was the person who wrote those pieces of text, I know what citations apply.
As you're making simple thing a problem I'll go ahead and make a talk page comment to resolve this.

Your recent editing history at 2021 Dublin Bay South by-election shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

BHG, as I noted to Uses x, one thing that comes to mind would have been for the contested cites to be WP:HIDDEN.

I guess it doesn't matter now, though, as the mark seems to have been missed for that to serve as a possible compromise. El_C 02:02, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

For the benefit of anyone who was wondering what this was all about, the TLDR is: unwell editor @ Aussie Article Writer (formerly @ Chris.sherlock), who has created lots of wild drama, made a very poorly-structured request to have his one-way IBANs with me and @ DuncanHill upgraded to 2-way, on the grounds that we had been making nasty false statements about him last year. However, one of the arbs pointed out that the statements were actually true, and someone else noted that it was last year ... so it went nowhere.
Here is the Arbitration request, with all discussion before it was removed.

Ser Amantio di Nicolao and myself worked hard years back to standardise it to Populated places in... by country and province because not all settlements in a given area are villages and may be small hamlets or towns. I would still argue that all settlements on wikipedia should be categorised as Populated places by area. Only the larger settlements categorize as "Cities and towns". † Encyclopædius 11:01, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
change the category names; I populated sub-categories.
OK. Why do we need a village category by district as well as Category:Populated places in Akdeniz District? Sometimes big categories are useful, as with American films. I would be tempted to propose moving the villages into by province rather than district too.. There was a problem with calling small hamlets ""villages", and towns "villages", so there was consensus to simply categorize all settlements as "Populated places" by area and only have categories for more notable settements on towns and cities. I know in many places now people have gone and created village categories again, this site is too big to monitor everything!† Encyclopædius 12:28, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
@ Ser Amantio di Nicolao: 376 categories for Turkish villages?? Category:Villages in Turkey. That's a nightmare for navigation. Can we perhaos just do it by province?† Encyclopædius 12:34, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
376 categories for Turkish villagesis
a nightmare for navigation,when
I'm not going to lose any sleep over this BHG! I personally prefer larger categories where I can find more articles in one place than having to sift through hundreds of categories. Navigation templates are the ones which are useful for navigating more specialised topics and areas. Oh well! † Encyclopædius 12:48, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello. I am Wikipedia editor Chynapras. I requested for Rollback right few days back but a bot told that my request was an “Automated comment”. Now I don’t know what is a Automated comment. If you don’t mind, could you please nominate me for Rollback right as I think I am an experienced enough editor for this right and I am also fighting vandalism lately. If you want, you can also tell me how can I request properly. But if you don’t want to nominate me for the right or don’t want to tell me how can I request properly, it’s all right but just let me know. Thank you. Chynapras ( talk) 11:46, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Just as a heads-up, the demonym bit of
Module:CountryAdjectiveDemonym used by {{
GetCountryNameFromAdjective}} doesn't seem to work. So for instance {{GetCountryNameFromAdjective|Philippine}}
and {{GetCountryNameFromAdjective|Martiniquan}}
work, but {{GetCountryNameFromAdjective|Filipino}}
and {{GetCountryNameFromAdjective|Martiniquais}}
don't. The Filipino one is annoying as it's widely used as an adjective.
Le Deluge (

{{
GetCountryNameFromAdjective|Filipino}}
shouldn't work, because Filipino is a demonym, not an adjective. I thought that the category system was fairly clean in that respect. Can you give me examples of categories that are causing trouble? --

@ MB: This is probably the tenth thread I've seen on the short description layout issue. At this point, the #1 impact on volunteer time the issue is having is likely that we just keep on reporting and discussing it over and over without it actually fixing it. No one can be expected to use a beta version of software (that goes contrary to its definition), so the top focus should be updating the stable release version of AWB. I'm not sure why no one working on AWB has done that yet; it's been months. {{u| Sdkb}} talk 23:14, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi, sorry to bother you, yours was the first account that came to mind in terms of categories. I came across some clear overcategorisation while looking through water polo players, so began this discussion at CfD for it. I definitely think the current level used for that sport: 'gender+nationality+position' is too much. I was also pushing for the deletion of a level up i.e 'nationality+position', but the creator of all of these has quite rightly pointed to the equivalents for ice hockey which have existed for well over a decade. I haven't checked every major sport but I was aware that football/soccer did not have such a level and have since confirmed that baseball and basketball don't either. So which is correct, this isn't really something specific to any one sport so I'm not sure why different rules seem to be being applied? Do you have any opinion on this, or are you aware of any recent discussion / consensus you could point me towards, I would imagine sports-related stuff like this gets brought up fairly often due to the level of interest? Thanks for any input you can give, please reply on whatever page you like and I'll link to any other relevant ones. Crowsus ( talk) 10:52, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Ok, so we disagree on our approaches to this issue and I'm sorry to intrude your talk page. I wanted to take the opportunity to apologise for any boorish behaviour, and for anything that might be misconstrued. I hope you believe that all I have here is the project in mind: my focus is on making it a better place. I wholeheartedly, sincerely and without reservation apologise if anything I've said or done has deflected from that aim, especially if it has been upsetting or disruptive to you. Life is short, and my time here is is all about making the things I love better, and I'm sorry if I've messed up with interpreting your own way of doing exactly what I'm doing. We want the best here for the project, both of us. I'm sorry, once again, to go against your request for me not post here, but I felt one last chance was worth the risk. I may not be here long enough to make amends, but I hope in the short term my apology will go some way to saying sorry. The Rambling Man ( Stay alert! Control the virus!

Regarding your message "restore spaces before cite parameters to improve usability. @ User:Uses x, please stop removing them". The Wikipedia:VisualEditor (an official tool developed by the Wikimedia Foundation) automatically removes the spaces in cite parameters when anything is done with the citation, including moving them. I'm not going to put the work in to scrub through the source to re-add them when that happens as it literally doesn't even matter.
Also, I'm not sure why you're adding archive links to literally every citation, as I've found that to be the greatest determent to usability (I've run into issues with it myself), while providing no benefit. NoMore404 (run by the Internet Archive) automatically archives a version of each page within 24 hours so adding the links isn't saving the information for the future, and when if the links go dead the Internet Archive Bot automatically adds the archive link and marks the link as dead. By adding them to every single citation, it just massively increases the page size making loading and rendering slower, it adds a bunch of useless information to go through in source mode, and it makes it harder for tools to go through the citations as they have twice the amount of links to deal with.

VisualEditor still has many bugs and missing features. It seems that unnecessarily mangling the formatting is one of its bugs.

Regarding your opposition to my removal of citations which back-up information referenced in the other article, in order to prevent WP:OVERCITE; I removed one opinion piece that makes a passing mention of the relevant text while the other article gives a comprehensive overview of the information, and another which has three mere relevant sentences stating that the party is "expected to select" the candidate while the other citation is a comprehensive overview of when she was selected.
This information is again backed up in near every article, and so it only needs a single citation. I was the person who wrote those pieces of text, I know what citations apply.

Your recent editing history at 2021 Dublin Bay South by-election shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

For the benefit of anyone who was wondering what this was all about, the TLDR is: unwell editor @ Aussie Article Writer (formerly @ Chris.sherlock), who has created lots of wild drama, made a very poorly-structured request to have his one-way IBANs with me and @ DuncanHill upgraded to 2-way, on the grounds that we had been making nasty false statements about him last year.

Why have you changed the category names to "Villages" in for Turkey? Ser Amantio di Nicolao and myself worked hard years back to standardise it to Populated places in... by country and province because not all settlements in a given area are villages and may be small hamlets or towns. I would still argue that all settlements on wikipedia should be categorised as Populated places by area. Only the larger settlements categorize as "Cities and towns". † Encyclopædius 11:01, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
change the category names; I populated sub-categories.
OK. Why do we need a village category by district as well as Category:Populated places in Akdeniz District? Sometimes big categories are useful, as with American films. I would be tempted to propose moving the villages into by province rather than district too.. There was a problem with calling small hamlets ""villages", and towns "villages", so there was consensus to simply categorize all settlements as "Populated places" by area and only have categories for more notable settements on towns and cities. I know in many places now people have gone and created village categories again, this site is too big to monitor everything!† Encyclopædius 12:28, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
@ Ser Amantio di Nicolao: 376 categories for Turkish villages?? Category:Villages in Turkey. That's a nightmare for navigation. Can we perhaos just do it by province?† Encyclopædius 12:34, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
376 categories for Turkish villagesis
a nightmare for navigation,when
I'm not going to lose any sleep over this BHG! I personally prefer larger categories where I can find more articles in one place than having to sift through hundreds of categories. Navigation templates are the ones which are useful for navigating more specialised topics and areas. Oh well! † Encyclopædius 12:48, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
I was just checking this User:BrownHairedGirl/Articles with bare links and found that it lists Abdul Haq Dehlavi on it. Hoping to work on it in a few days, and atleast bringing it to DYK level. See my recent work, Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind, which I extensively improved and nominated for GA. I hope it is approved. I'd like to hear your suggestions if you can suggest anything. The review generally takes long, and I hope I can fix the issues as soon as possible. Thank you. ─ The Aafī on Mobile (talk) 19:45, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
Category:Films directed by T. Guru Prasad has been nominated for deletion. A discussion is taking place to decide whether this proposal complies with the categorization guidelines. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the categories for discussion page. Thank you.

I noticed a while ago that you and a couple other users were putting together a draft RfA for yourself, and I was planning to support it once it came to fruition. Nothing ever came of it. Did you just decide not to run? WaltCip-( talk) 14:25, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
