I am having a 'discussion' on the [Persecution of Christians] talk page concerning whether or not Open Doors can be considered a reliable source. I cited WP's policy on biased sources and reliability and it seems to me it passes that standard. I gave an in text qualification, but this guy says it has to have a third party verification to use it. I can't find that requirement anywhere, is that correct? He is calling it a self-published source, and I guess it is in a way. I have found most of what Open Doors says in other sources, so I can probably satisfy his requirement, but he says never use a source that is an advocate, and I don't think there are any human rights organizations that aren't advocates. Even the State department Commission and Council practice advocacy. Is this a WP standard I need to know? Jenhawk777 ( talk) 20:13, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Hey,
I was just wondering why you decided to revert my edits on Tom Brier's page. Yes there was barely anything on it that point, but right after that edit was made, I went in and wrote literally like 4 more sections. Now I'm really really frustrated and upset because I put in all that effort for it to go to nothing because it conflicted with the edit you decided to make. Why did you think it was appropriate to revert that initial edit so quickly? Thomasgilbertie ( talk) 22:11, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
Okay thanks for the clarification! I and another user are working on a draft right now so hopefully, it'll get approved after that. In regards to the edit conflict, it already erased my progress so I'm back at square one essentially, so going on the help page at this page is not necessary. But thanks for the help anyways!

I am making an article called, 'List of Kuruluş: Osman characters ( Draft:List of Kuruluş: Osman characters)', and, I don't know how to cite it, I can't use primary sources (I think), like from the actual TV program itself, but I can't find any other sources anywhere. Can you help? I am specifically asking you because you've watched the show (I think, you seem to make a lot of edits on Ottoman-related articles), and you're good at citing stuff.

I hate to put you on the spot but I am in real need. I put Biblical criticism up for FA review a month ago. It is its second time being nominated. I failed to complete the process the first time because of leaving WP so suddenly, and now it is getting little response. I am putting out a call to everyone I know because the coordinator has said if it doesn't get more interest he will archive it. It needs a source review - someone willing to randomly check sources to be sure they actually say what the text says. There are too many for anyone to do alone, but doing any at all, even just one, would be deeply appreciated. Post it here. If it fails again I'm afraid that will be the end of it. Please help if you can. Jenhawk777 ( talk) 19:29, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
I'm just an IP gnome who browses the wiki while bored at work, and BLP/referencing stuff confuses me, so I thought I'd mention this to you. Back in June you did a clean-up of unreferenced additions to the Kristin Dattilo page, and at the beginning of this month another IP came along and added some of the personal stuff back. I think it needs to be removed, but again, BLP and referencing confuse me, and as an IP it might just look like I'm vandalizing stuff. Can you give the page a look?

Hey, remember when you recommended that I find a reference for a scholar, when they don't have a WP page to link to, that would tell us something about why we should care what they say? You used that who? template and then explained that was why. I started doing this mostly using their university pages thinking those were published by the university, but I have now been told those qualify as self-published sources - they apparently write their own pages and the university just accepts what they say! I was told attribution is only necessary for quotes, and to just red link scholars w/o pages here. I thought I would pass that on in hopes you would pass it on as well.

I think you didn't even bother to read the article from the Guardian that I have added as a reference. Professor Saul Frampton writes after citing plenty of sentences copied from John Florio's works into Shakespeare's plays (editing in the First Folio) writes: "We cannot tell for certain whether the words were written by John Florio or by William Shakespeare" suggesting Florio as the editor in chief of the First Folio (the first collection of Shakespeare plays ever published).

Hello,
The Editing team has scheduled a major update to mw:Extension:DiscussionTools (the new Reply tool) for next week's deployment train. Since you invoke the feature from a script ( I do, too), you're probably going to see that update next week, before it's officially released in the mw:Beta Feature system. The new update will use a similar system for starting a ==New discussion==. As before, full-page wikitext editing will not be affected. There is more information on the project page at mw:Talk pages project/New discussion.
You don't have to do anything about this; I just didn't want you to be surprised. If you encounter problems next week, please ping me or leave a note on the talk page for the project. Thanks, Whatamidoing (WMF) ( talk) 22:11, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

User:Gråbergs Gråa Sång Back in December you engaged with my brother Dave about the article on Frederick S. Jaffe. In the course of that, you pointed us to a few search results ([ 5], [ 6])that were truly valuable. We discovered archival records that we didn't know existed, including our father's response to the same criticisms that we're trying to address today. Those sources strengthen our draft text.
You also suggested that we try WP:APPNOTEing a few places to get others' opinions. It's taken me months to wrap my head around that suggestion, but I'm finally beginning to move on it. I'm not sure how to phrase the request, but I'm in contact with several library contacts who can help. So, once again, a belated thank you! Rickjaffe ( talk) 06:27, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

The Citation Barnstar |
Thank you for your kind help and very clear instruction throughout this very complex process. Of note, I appreciate you vetting additional sources I did not even know about to secure additional support for my article. Barrychoward ( talk) 15:07, 1 March 2021 (UTC) |
Greetings Gråbergs Gråa Sång. Hope you are well. Would you mind taking a look at my current work on the HSC page? I have read through the Wiki guide links you sent regarding notability and verifiablity. It seems like I've cleared out the fluff, and have gone heavy on relevant citations. I will admit that there are not a huge amount of 'secondary' sources that are unrelated to the sector that reference HSC....but the corpus of what is there, is hopefully indicative of a real an viable entity deserving its place on wikipedia. As I've examined other, smaller organizations throughout wiki, many are younger, less established and less "notable" than HSC (subjective analysis of course...but pretty clear in many cases), and somehow they were approved. Many do not have nearly the citations that are in my article (even if the HSC site citations were completely removed), and I do see that many, many organizations cite their own website pages in their article...though of course, always with some other sources justifying their presence otherwise...which I think is the case with HSC. I appreciate any further advice you can give, or if I am ready for a possible publication review. Barrychoward ( talk) 17:17, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
Gråbergs Gråa Sång this in extremely helpful, and gives me perspective on the evolution of scrutiny, as well as how to balance the citations. "spying Martians" is an excellent metaphor for the approach, and I do see my own fluff in there. I'll keep honing it and incorporate your suggestions. Really appreciate the time you took to give me some updated analysis! Barrychoward ( talk) 15:16, 8 March 2021 (UTC) I chopped the first paragraph down to the bare bones description of what is included in the body of the article. Reduced the number of citations, removing anything that was referenced in minor way, or by a lineage society, or with HSC's own website (except for 2 later in the body). Added a governance section because it was removed from the opening paragraph, but is a factual element of the entity. Further reduced anything in the body seemed "advertisement" or self serving. For some reason it will not let me publish the changes and I keep getting an error message "Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server (HTTP 404)" Not sure what's going on. Barrychoward ( talk) 02:20, 9 March 2021 (UTC) NVM, I had to relog in and copy and paste my changes. Feel free to review when you have time. Thanks so much.

Hi... Thank you sincerely for helping me get started a bit over a week ago. And since no good deed goes unpunished, I'm hoping I might ask for additional advice? You made a couple edits in my first article and that was very encouraging...so I've been doing simple stuff with growing confidence. (And some, not so confident.) Anyway, basic article is a work-in-progress in my "sandbox" and I've got more images to upload. And I have raw text for a sidebar "highlights of career" block (but don't know how to create?) There must be directions on how to build the sidebar? And second question: Is is bad form to upload a poor quality image as a place-holder for a higher-quality image that will replace it before "publication?" (Or should I just wait for the good pix?)

In spite of your clear directions... I'm not doing something (anything?) right... Trying to submit my draft 1st article to the "review process"... I started the but...

Hi,
After ten years on Wikipedia, tonight was the first night that I was scolded in an edit summary. You may be frustrated that I'm struggling a bit today - and you've been on the ball, which I have appreciated. I had to look up and was very confused about the right things to do for both the {{ connected contributor}} and the edit warring situation. I have a brain injury and unrelated fogginess that makes things much harder than they used to be. When I get confused, I keep trying to double- and triple-check, but I sometimes miss things, like a cut and paste that wasn't completed. I used to be super sharp. Any way. I am a bit sad by that. I absolutely get, though, that it's not good to have an error with the wrong user name. Totally got that.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 08:22, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Arthur stands and swears that this will not stand, he'll take it to court! Ginny agrees! The next day, Arthur is found dead in the garden. The famous Wikipedia Murder is never solved because the detective started researching poisons, ended up clicking on a link about the Borgias and went down a rabbit hole of Italian political history for the rest of the afternoon.I of course copied it in order to quote it directly, first checking its source and verifying its accuracy with two additional sources, noting the level of controversy and disagreement amongst scholars on the topic. Indeed. The murder remains unsolved. I do, however, think I will begin an article on those who have been hit in the head with a rock - (or perhaps a crystal) - who deserved it. It seems the research could be endless. I am adoring you all! Ta ta for now! Jenhawk777 ( talk) 04:36, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Our edits conflicted when responding to a request at the Teahouse - apologies for that. My concern is however about the editor who posed the question. They deleted the thread almost as soon as we had replied. Their story about a "school assignment" seems to be totally at odds with their editing history. They start here] with a comprehsnive expandion of an article about a Vietnamese film Director including the use of sophisticated reference formatting. All their edits are about this director and his films. and although I am prepared to AGF, this is looking very much like paid editing by a very experienced editor, either block evading or simply creating a burner user-name for this particular job. I would welcome your views on what you would deduce from this editing hisroy. Many thanks Velella Velella Talk 13:56, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

He is calling it a self-published source, and I guess it is in a way. I have found most of what Open Doors says in other sources, so I can probably satisfy his requirement, but he says never use a source that is an advocate, and I don't think there are any human rights organizations that aren't advocates. Even the State department Commission and Council practice advocacy. Is this a WP standard I need to know? Jenhawk777 ( talk) 20:13, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Hey,
I was just wondering why you decided to revert my edits on Tom Brier's page. Yes there was barely anything on it that point, but right after that edit was made, I went in and wrote literally like 4 more sections. Now I'm really really frustrated and upset because I put in all that effort for it to go to nothing because it conflicted with the edit you decided to make. Why did you think it was appropriate to revert that initial edit so quickly? Thomasgilbertie ( talk) 22:11, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
Okay thanks for the clarification! I and another user are working on a draft right now so hopefully, it'll get approved after that. In regards to the edit conflict, it already erased my progress so I'm back at square one essentially, so going on the help page at this page is not necessary. But thanks for the help anyways!

I hate to put you on the spot but I am in real need. I put Biblical criticism up for FA review a month ago. It is its second time being nominated. I failed to complete the process the first time because of leaving WP so suddenly, and now it is getting little response. I am putting out a call to everyone I know because the coordinator has said if it doesn't get more interest he will archive it. It needs a source review - someone willing to randomly check sources to be sure they actually say what the text says. There are too many for anyone to do alone, but doing any at all, even just one, would be deeply appreciated. Post it here. If it fails again I'm afraid that will be the end of it. Please help if you can. Jenhawk777 ( talk) 19:29, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
I'm just an IP gnome who browses the wiki while bored at work, and BLP/referencing stuff confuses me, so I thought I'd mention this to you. Back in June you did a clean-up of unreferenced additions to the Kristin Dattilo page, and at the beginning of this month another IP came along and added some of the personal stuff back. I think it needs to be removed, but again, BLP and referencing confuse me, and as an IP it might just look like I'm vandalizing stuff. Can you give the page a look?

Hey, remember when you recommended that I find a reference for a scholar, when they don't have a WP page to link to, that would tell us something about why we should care what they say? You used that who? template and then explained that was why. I started doing this mostly using their university pages thinking those were published by the university, but I have now been told those qualify as self-published sources - they apparently write their own pages and the university just accepts what they say! I was told attribution is only necessary for quotes, and to just red link scholars w/o pages here. I thought I would pass that on in hopes you would pass it on as well.

Professor Saul Frampton writes after citing plenty of sentences copied from John Florio's works into Shakespeare's plays (editing in the First Folio) writes: "We cannot tell for certain whether the words were written by John Florio or by William Shakespeare" suggesting Florio as the editor in chief of the First Folio (the first collection of Shakespeare plays ever published).

Hello,
The Editing team has scheduled a major update to mw:Extension:DiscussionTools (the new Reply tool) for next week's deployment train. Since you invoke the feature from a script ( I do, too), you're probably going to see that update next week, before it's officially released in the mw:Beta Feature system. The new update will use a similar system for starting a ==New discussion==. As before, full-page wikitext editing will not be affected. There is more information on the project page at mw:Talk pages project/New discussion.
You don't have to do anything about this; I just didn't want you to be surprised. If you encounter problems next week, please ping me or leave a note on the talk page for the project. Thanks, Whatamidoing (WMF) ( talk) 22:11, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

User:Gråbergs Gråa Sång Back in December you engaged with my brother Dave about the article on Frederick S. Jaffe. In the course of that, you pointed us to a few search results ([ 5], [ 6])that were truly valuable. We discovered archival records that we didn't know existed, including our father's response to the same criticisms that we're trying to address today. Those sources strengthen our draft text.
You also suggested that we try WP:APPNOTEing a few places to get others' opinions. It's taken me months to wrap my head around that suggestion, but I'm finally beginning to move on it. I'm not sure how to phrase the request, but I'm in contact with several library contacts who can help. So, once again, a belated thank you! Rickjaffe ( talk) 06:27, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind help and very clear instruction throughout this very complex process. Of note, I appreciate you vetting additional sources I did not even know about to secure additional support for my article. Barrychoward ( talk) 15:07, 1 March 2021 (UTC) |
Greetings Gråbergs Gråa Sång. Hope you are well. Would you mind taking a look at my current work on the HSC page? I have read through the Wiki guide links you sent regarding notability and verifiablity. It seems like I've cleared out the fluff, and have gone heavy on relevant citations. I will admit that there are not a huge amount of 'secondary' sources that are unrelated to the sector that reference HSC....but the corpus of what is there, is hopefully indicative of a real an viable entity deserving its place on wikipedia. As I've examined other, smaller organizations throughout wiki, many are younger, less established and less "notable" than HSC (subjective analysis of course...but pretty clear in many cases), and somehow they were approved. Many do not have nearly the citations that are in my article (even if the HSC site citations were completely removed), and I do see that many, many organizations cite their own website pages in their article...though of course, always with some other sources justifying their presence otherwise...which I think is the case with HSC. I appreciate any further advice you can give, or if I am ready for a possible publication review. Barrychoward ( talk) 17:17, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
Gråbergs Gråa Sång this in extremely helpful, and gives me perspective on the evolution of scrutiny, as well as how to balance the citations. "spying Martians" is an excellent metaphor for the approach, and I do see my own fluff in there. I'll keep honing it and incorporate your suggestions. Really appreciate the time you took to give me some updated analysis! Barrychoward ( talk) 15:16, 8 March 2021 (UTC) I chopped the first paragraph down to the bare bones description of what is included in the body of the article. Reduced the number of citations, removing anything that was referenced in minor way, or by a lineage society, or with HSC's own website (except for 2 later in the body). Added a governance section because it was removed from the opening paragraph, but is a factual element of the entity. Further reduced anything in the body seemed "advertisement" or self serving. For some reason it will not let me publish the changes and I keep getting an error message "Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server (HTTP 404)" Not sure what's going on. Barrychoward ( talk) 02:20, 9 March 2021 (UTC) NVM, I had to relog in and copy and paste my changes. Feel free to review when you have time. Thanks so much.

Hi... Thank you sincerely for helping me get started a bit over a week ago. And since no good deed goes unpunished, I'm hoping I might ask for additional advice? You made a couple edits in my first article and that was very encouraging...so I've been doing simple stuff with growing confidence. (And some, not so confident.) Anyway, basic article is a work-in-progress in my "sandbox" and I've got more images to upload. And I have raw text for a sidebar "highlights of career" block (but don't know how to create?) There must be directions on how to build the sidebar? And second question: Is is bad form to upload a poor quality image as a place-holder for a higher-quality image that will replace it before "publication?" (Or should I just wait for the good pix?)

Hi,
After ten years on Wikipedia, tonight was the first night that I was scolded in an edit summary. You may be frustrated that I'm struggling a bit today - and you've been on the ball, which I have appreciated. I had to look up and was very confused about the right things to do for both the {{ connected contributor}} and the edit warring situation. I have a brain injury and unrelated fogginess that makes things much harder than they used to be. When I get confused, I keep trying to double- and triple-check, but I sometimes miss things, like a cut and paste that wasn't completed. I used to be super sharp. Any way. I am a bit sad by that. I absolutely get, though, that it's not good to have an error with the wrong user name. Totally got that.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 08:22, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Arthur stands and swears that this will not stand, he'll take it to court! Ginny agrees! The next day, Arthur is found dead in the garden. The famous Wikipedia Murder is never solved because the detective started researching poisons, ended up clicking on a link about the Borgias and went down a rabbit hole of Italian political history for the rest of the afternoon.I of course copied it in order to quote it directly, first checking its source and verifying its accuracy with two additional sources, noting the level of controversy and disagreement amongst scholars on the topic. Indeed. The murder remains unsolved. I do, however, think I will begin an article on those who have been hit in the head with a rock - (or perhaps a crystal) - who deserved it.

Our edits conflicted when responding to a request at the Teahouse - apologies for that. My concern is however about the editor who posed the question. They deleted the thread almost as soon as we had replied. Their story about a "school assignment" seems to be totally at odds with their editing history. They start here] with a comprehsnive expandion of an article about a Vietnamese film Director including the use of sophisticated reference formatting. All their edits are about this director and his films. and although I am prepared to AGF, this is looking very much like paid editing by a very experienced editor, either block evading or simply creating a burner user-name for this particular job. I would welcome your views on what you would deduce from this editing hisroy. Many thanks Velella Velella Talk 13:56, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
