My comment about Mayor of Leicester did not mean that a person who became mayor was NN, just that his holding that office did not make him notable. Bolckow is notable for other reasons - as a very important ironmaster and as an MP. A 19th-century mayor who may have had a role more like a leader of the council. Certainly there have been councillors who had achieved notable things and are hence notable, but the run-of-the-mill local councillor is generally not notable unless for other reasons. This is the WP consensus see WP:POLITICIAN. List articles can be useful, but commonly as a means of identifying articles that are needed - the occasional redlink in a list of blue-linked people. We also encourage them rather than categories for lists of performers; lists of award winners; and otehr cases where a category is considered to be a case of overcategorisation.

I'm probably giving you the impression that I am opposed to a merge or deletion of Ret Prof.'s article, but that is not true. My concern is that the discussion is trending toward what is probably the right decision (deletion) but for all the wrong reasons. An article on a hypothetical Hebrew gospel should have nothing to do with the article on the greek Gospel of the Hebrews. The right discussion to be having is a proposal to merge into the umbrella article that you wrote on the Hebrew Gospel hypothesis. Therefore, I propose that we end this misdirected discussion now and move the merge tags to that article. Ignocrates ( talk) 17:07, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Sound advice, and I intend to follow it. (Actually, when CC gave me the advice earlier, I already intend to stop reverting Tales of Moonlight and Rain at least in the meantime, as one more would have been a 3RR-violation.)
Anyway, regarding the DVD covers: it's an interesting point you raise, but I have very little experience uploading images to Wikipedia. If I recall correctly, one of my uploads from 2005 or so got deleted on the grounds of being a 2D photograph of a NEAR-2D stone carving from ancient Scandinavia of dubious copyright status. (I admit I found it on Google, but my interpretation was that since the image itself obviously is in the public domain, then some guy's photograph must also be.) My point being that I am terrified of copyright issues on Wikipedia, and the technicalities of adding images to articles (unless I am translating an article from scratch from ja.wiki, and the Japanese article already had an established rationale for all the images) are confusing to me. So I really amn't sure about how to implement your advice. Additionally, regarding AfD and RM: I'll think about it. (^_~) elvenscout742 ( talk) 04:02, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Chieko Baisho Utagari CD.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy.

File:Chieko Baisho Utagari CD.jpg. 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.

Surpreende-me o facto de um outro utilizador defender um administrador da Wikipedia, isso só demonstra a falta de caracter do administrador que injustamente me bloqueou mesmo que eu tenha contribuído durante mais de 7/8 anos na Wikipedia. Todos erramos, é certo, mas eu nunca tive nenhuma intenção nefasta nesta comunidade, enquanto ele sim. Ele teve uma finalidade: a de me afectar, de me prejudicar, mesmo sabendo que eu sou um utilizador com vários anos de contribuições, que nunca gerou problemas e sempre teve como prioridade a de melhorar a Wikipedia. Apesar disso eu nunca fui reconhecido pela comunidade, apenas uma vez: autopatrolled rights. Eu nunca efectuei um pedido de reconhecimento, o que faço agora é um pedido para que não me afectem, porque eu não quero afectar a Wikipedia. Qualquer resposta que seja feita na minha página.

Hey man. Things have been escalated by Msoamu, Shabiha and Hassanfarooqi during the last six hours or so. I am now clearly being accused of belonging to a "terrorist organization," in addition to still constantly being ascribed to ideologies (namely Salafism and Wahhabism) which I have expressly said I don't agree with and fear personal/professional repercussions should my IP address ever be tied to such accusations. The timing of all these accusations really leads me to believe that this is not only coordinated among them, but specifically in reaction to my personal concerns. I would really like something done about this as soon as possible, whatever it is. I don't want to feel that I am putting myself at risk simply by logging in to Wikipedia. Some of the info is at WP:ANI. As a disclosure, I am also posting this appeal to other respected editors who were involved - I feel this is a time-sensitive issue and want to increase the chances of someone intervening as soon as possible.

The move discussion at Talk:Theater District, New York was closed without alerting editors at the relevant Wikiprojects to join in. It has long been the consensus at WP:THEATRE and WP:MUSICALS to spell the word "theatre", in part because theatre professionals prefer this spelling throughout the English-speaking world, and because this spelling is not wrong anywhere, while "theater" is wrong in many places,such as the UK. BTW, I am an American from New York City. Note that nearly all of the Broadway theatres are called "X Theatre".

You don't need to add interwiki links to articles anymore as Wikidata is no handling them. It is easy to add an entry in Wikidata. Goto the Wikidata main page, click "Create a new item" on the left sidebar, then click "check link". If you are creating a new English article, then add the Vietnamese article first. The program will check if it already has been added to Wikidata.
You should start using the {{ lang-vi}} and {{ lang}} templates. Use lang-vi first as it puts a wikilink to Vietnamese language. Afterwords, use the lang template. Main reason is screen readers for the blind. See an example here. Bgwhite ( talk) 06:40, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for
your recent post to my talk page; I am here to say I appreciate the gesture.
I acknowledge that we probably disagree on a range of issues, but I would not like that to stand between us as human beings. I admit I have been frustrated with some of your comments, and that some of my responses to you have been pretty testy: But I apologize if they have been hurtful or upsetting; that was not my intention. Also, (on reflection) I may not have been sufficiently aware of any cultural differences we might have regarding the threshold between abruptness and rudeness, and I apologize for the times when I have crossed that threshold.
If I can explain the background for some of my opinions (if it helps at all) I find myself increasingly frustrated by the divergence between what our guidelines say on language, style, format, etc and what seem to be growing trends in those things in practice. I don’t actually have a strong preference either way; if it was resolved that we use an idiosyncratic WP style to encompass international preferences, and the guidelines were changed to reflect that, I could live with it. But until they change. I feel it is bad form (underhand, even) to foist such a style on the project; if we are to have guidelines, I feel it is all our interests to actually follow them. And I am disturbed by the bad feeling that the resultant disagreements have created (and to continue to create) but hav eno idea what to do about them.
Anyway, thank you again, and (for my part) my apologies once again.

I am sorry I cannot help you, since I do not have any basic knowledge about Nôm characters. To be frankly, according to some information I have, it is extremely difficult to learn Nôm characters, even harder to learn Hán characters, and somebody claims that people have to master the Hán before learning the Nôm (ironically, isn't it ?).
I believe you may ask Meotrangden ( talk · contribs) on vi.wikipedia. His knowledge about many different languages may helps. Михаил Александрович Шолохов ( thảo luận) 13:22, ngày 13 tháng 3 năm 2013 (UTC)
Any text in Chữ Nôm, unless we're talking about a few individual glyphs or very short passages, has to encompass chữ Nho (Hán). Truyện Kiều, or as a matter of fact any of the truyện Nôm (Phan Trần, Nhị độ mai, Thạch Sanh...) although written in Nôm, also includes a large number of chữ Nho since Vietnamese has incorporated a substantial of Sino-derived vocabulary. If we're speaking purely about linguistics/syntax then you're correct it is a Nôm text. If we consider the morphemic elements then it is Hán-Nôm. Taking the 1st lục-bát couplet that start the tale as an example, you will see:
So even this Nôm text, chữ Nho cannot be excluded as morphemes. However if we read the entire couplet, syntactically it is purely Vietnamese (ie Nôm) because non-Vietnamese speakers, even if they are extremely well-versed in classical Chinese cannot understand it at all! Not a single iota! I hope all of this makes sense w/o adding to the confusion. If you want a simplistic answer, then yes, Truyện Kiều is a Nôm text. Duyet-pho ( talk) 06:22, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

First of all, I wonder do you have any Vietnamese blood in you? Like 1 Viet parent or grandparent or something? Why do you have such an immense interest in Vietnam? Have you been to Vietnam? If not then, one day if you ever come to Vietnam in the summer at Ho Chi Minh city (I currently live in a different country than Vietnam but I do come back every summer to visit), I will make sure to invite you to my house and show you around. Anyway I remember there was a big argument about whether or not Vietnamese words need accent. I can show you a great example how missing an accent can lead to great confusing. You can initiate the discussion again and I hope all the names should have the accents on. That's the sign with respect to write someone name correctly in their native language. Most Vietnamese would agree with me.
OK, let say the word "ma" with no accent. With accents, it can be 5 different words that have very distinct meanings. ma, má, mạ, mả, mà and mã, this one doesn't mean anything if it stands alone. So if there is no accent then how can you ever separate all those words into different articles? The no accent word is useful when it became a disambiguation page then from there you can look for the correct word with correspond accent. Regard! Pendragon5 ( talk) 22:10, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Hey man, I'm pretty sure I found a clear candidate for AfD while Wikisurfing this morning. I stumbled upon YaNabi.com and cut out a lot of material which has been unsourced for about four years. Other stuff was sourced with the actual website itself though improperly, and then there was a citation for the BBC because the site's comments were mentioned in one sentence; the citation was for a blanket copy paste from the BBC article. The only remaining source is Alexa, which I didn't remove because I'm not sure if it's RS or not.
I noticed the tags said that the article's creator may be close to the subject, so I checked the history and found it was created by User:Shabiha, whom you might remember from the previous "drama." I'm not sure how to handle this, but it seems like a clear issue of WP:ADVERT; I ran a search and all I could find on this site were quotes from Wordpress blogs. Given that the author also uploaded the picture from one of the websites youth meetings, I have the strong feeling that this is just an attempt at promoting the site; it seems to have no notability, and if you check the talk page you'll see that others were bringing that up about three years ago. Should I go ahead with it, or could you go ahead and nominate it, or is there another way to handle this? MezzoMezzo ( talk) 14:42, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
Regarding the red links, Salem el'Allan appears to be Salem Al-Allan who doesn't appear to be much reported on in English aside from this. Al-'Amiri might refer to Abdul Aziz al-Amiri but he was Sudani, not Bahraini. I couldn't find anything on Ahmad Bou Tabanja, which is a really common name - every third male person in Bahrain is named Ahmed. For al-Amiri by the way, there isn't much other than Youtube videos and some stuff on forums. Hs name is also really, really common so if you search in English I don't think you'll ever find what you need. At least in the case of the first and third person, though, they seem to be real and were famous at least in the region. What else did you need to know about them specifically?

His other main appearances seem to be in tabloid/gossip columns as a faddish 'guru' to various Bollywood stars. To your point, I would suggest that most main Indian news outlets meet relevant BLP criteria (in particular, both The Hindu and The Statesman are heavyweight publications that began publishing over 100 years ago). If any action had been taken regarding any particular article, they would have published apologies/retractions etc. There is no indication in their archives of any such action.

Thank you for coming in as a 3rd editor into this article Kalki Bhagavan. Regarding the edit on death of 2 inmates. I had marked this edit [ [9]] as WP:BLPPRIMARY WP:BLPREMOVE and removed it. Noticed you undid my edit
The issues with the original entry are: The editor MathewTStone failed to include key information that police record mention that the 2 people had died due to traffic accident. The editor MatheTStone only mention that "In 2010, two inmates of Kalki Bhagavan's ashram were found dead in suspicious circumstances, and local villagers staged an agitation" . Based on the editor MathewTStone track record, it seems the intent was only to attack and cause harm to the subject of this article. Also, "Asian Tribune" is an online newspaper and only aggregated this story. There are no primary source for this article.

in reply to
Hi there,
Thanks for the heads-up. My position on this hasn't really changed: I think that WP:SET is a unilateral attempt to introduce systemic bias into Wikipedia. By hiding behind algorithmic results, it purports to deliver objectivity, while encoding the designer's own biases in the code which is used. The constant references to Lech Walesa and Facundo Arguello (however spelled) show that it is a vehicle for the continuing culture-wars of the anti-diacritics mob. LittleBenW has on several occasions declined to engage in any discussion which allows for the possibility that his preferred search terms introduce systemic bias. I regard his addition of this POV-pushing template into WP:IRS as (yet another) violation of his topic ban on diacritics.
And for absolute clarity: I still consider that it is insane to claim that a source in a subject's native language (written or approved by the subject, often) is intrinsically less reliable than one written in the language of this Wikipedia, and of LittleBenW. If the Icelandic PM does not spell her own patronymic with two 'd's, nor should we. LittleBenW's absurd crusade seeks to institutionalise the reverse position.
I don't know what should be done; I feel like I've spent long enough at WP:ANI on this topic already, but if another case is opened there, I'm happy to weigh in. Please let me know your thoughts on this subject.
Many thanks,

Greetings. I'm going to tag the Gospel of the Ebionites article for a second peer review in about a week. I have the names of a few editors with the technical expertise to prepare articles for FAC. Unfortunately, no one I contacted knows any reviewers with the necessary technical skills and also a familiarity with the religion category. Can you come up with a short list of independent editors we might contact to evaluate the content?

Hey man, I could use some advice regarding Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hindu Taliban (3rd nomination). The nominator along with some who support the deletion and some who oppose it are now getting into some back and forth exchanges on the discussion with those who hold an opposing view. Now, one of the commenters dropped an F-bomb casually. I don't really care about the outcome, I voted for keep but I won't lose sleep if it's deleted, but what concerns me is that I can see this discussion becoming unfruitful and uncivil really fast. Considering that this is the article's third nomination - the first two basically ended with keep because those arguing for deletion had some funny business going on and then no consensus for similar bickering - I worry that there might not be a consensus again, which not only would mean everyone wasted their time but it could go to a fourth nomination (which could still boil down into an argument rather than discussion). What do you think ought to be done? Is there a way I can request an admin to try and moderate and tone down the discussion a bit? The back and forth arguing especially seems likely to lead to a no consensus ending again. MezzoMezzo ( talk) 11:37, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

According to this disambiguation page, there is an Arabic article for the father ( here) which is oddly not included as a link on his English page. There does not appear to be an Arabic article for the son, per the red link on the disambig page.

I would like to hear your opinion if you also support that within a couple of days an article about a famous bodybuilding legend turned out into an article about a ... I do not even have words. All the previous contributions were deleted, not only those from me, and new ones are presented so misleading that people who know Mr Robinson and his life and achievements will never believe this is an article about him. Thak you. RRWM ( talk) 00:00, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
Dear [In ictu Oculi], I would like to apply for your help concerning Robinson's article once again:
1) Users Brocach and BarrelProof have recently deleted the REMI-Award for Robinson's DVD Built and inserted wrong information about his book -
deletion of REMI after humiliating editing
humiliation attempt on REMI
- can these people really make decisions that an official prize that even also has a page on Wiki that this living person was awarded is not worth mentioning in wikipedia?
- can they make parallel humiliating comments about every entrance from person's biography, that are visible for all the readers of the article?
I mean, REMI was not a small award, it is given to films, and BUILT is just a DVD, but special, like a TV film - on one side. But even if it is about small achievements of Robinson from school, is it allowed to parallel write humiliating comments? Who is allowed to decide what is importrant in the biography of living person?
2) my latest contribution to Robinson`s article was also deleted, see
my contribuition about creation of Robinson's memoirs deleted by BarrelProof
- Are materials from autobiographies/ memoirs and blog/ articles of living persons allowed to be used for wiki-article?
- do you also find, the citation of the review on Robinson's book from nomination committee of Writers' Digest has pure "promotional character"?
3) Comments of editors Brocach and now BarrelProof not only on Robinson's Talk page but also in summary lines to their "contributions"
- is it allowed that the editors of the article permanently publicly insult and try to humiliate the living person, the subject of the article?
- are they allowed to continue to work on the article?
All their discussions are publically open in internet, and they act as official representatives of Wikipedia. Since I am new here, I do not know, if here is any observing institution helping to avoid that wikipedia articles look like ground school kids dirty chat and do not directly descriminate and insult people, at least those that are the subject of the wiki-article?
4) could it be a kind of sabotage from Robinson's haters to force the managers of Robinson to apply to close the article?
Is it possible to avoid it?
5) What should I do with the direct insult towards my wiki-user from Brocach that the BarrelProof tried to hide by irreversible removal, see this
direct insult
I hope very much, you will be able to bring some clearance in this subject, since I can see you are a very experienced wikipedian, with many contributions to very many biographies and always correct actions on Robinson`s article.
Thank you very much

You're so clever. Since my talk page is blocked, you would write down message in the talk page of the article that I usually edit to get my attention. That source says that some burial customs had existed in Vietnam since 3200 to 3700 BC. It emerged amid the time of the Hung Vuong so I bet we should add some details about it to the Hong Bang Dynasty article, by adding a sub-section naming "Burial customs". Furthermore, if you had time, I would like you to create article about Tây Vu Vương, a descendant of An Duong Vuong who led a fail uprising in 111 BC against the Han invasion (I had given some sources in the timeline article, also you can find more details in the book "The Birth of Vietnam").

Thanks for the responses on Shuswap, Lillooet and Thompson, Tshilqot'in is even more compelling. It also relates to an older April 23 CfD, still unclosed, at Category:Chilcotin (region), which should either become Category:Chilcotin (like Category:Cariboo or Category:Okanagan which are for other similarly-named BC regions, vs what would happen if the main-article "rule" for category names were applied to Category:Tsilhqot'in... Category:People from the Chilcotin people is not a happy outcome especially if there was (and I think there is) Category:People from the Chilcotin or Category:People from the Chilcotin region. It's not just indigenous authenticity that's behind the practicality of the endonyms and why they were chosen, it was to make the distinction in the first place between the common meaning of the region vs the common meaning of the people. "Chilcotin" means "people of the red ochre river" and so "Chilcotin people" is redundant (with all Athapaskan names, the "-tin" ending or its cognates means "people" just as the -emc/-mc/-mx and others mean "people" in the various Salishan languages. -tin is the same as Dene in meaning.

Thank you for your support and response concerning my Chromatics article. I'm new here, as you see. I would be grateful if you wanted to look over the article I'm preparing; it's in my sandbox at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rdb112/sandbox. I do have several questions you may be able to help with.
I'm not sure if I should be writing to you by posting on YOUR talk page, or by editing your comments on mine. But I'm going to try sending this via your page first.
As a writer, I'm used to finishing an article before publication, but it appears that's not the way it's done here. For example, I have some pictures which I'd like to add to the Chromatics article, but it seems I'm not allowed to upload those until the article is created. I can do that; it's just an observation.
Of the article titles suggested by those who responded, I like Chromatics_(graphics) the best so far. Anyone who's looking for that company will know that they were not a general-purpose computer manufacturer, but a graphics computer manufacturer. But I don't see how to specify a title for the article. Is this done in the editor with markup tags, or is there a step in publishing the article during which I choose the title?
I may be able to locate a few more references, but I'd be interested to know if you feel this article is complete enough for publication. That would allow me to move forward with the pictures, and possibly the renaming/disambiguation tasks of the name Chromatics. Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello IIO. I am not soliciting you to vote in the move at Talk:Bazjaš monastery#Move?, but didn't I hear you say you speak one of the local languages? This move discussion was sitting in the backlog, and I thought I might close it. There is almost a tie between supporters and opponents. An oppose argument that may carry special weight (in my mind) is that of No Such User. In the local language, people might not be saying 'Studenica Monastery' but 'the monastery at Studenica'. In the latter case we probably don't want to capitalize monastery. That is, it may not considered a proper name in the local language. It may be known officially as the "Monastery of St. X" and just happens to be in Studenica. Can you see any such distinction? The link he cites for Studenica in the local language is this one.

Hi in ictu oculi. :) I see that you've been tagging a load of talk pages with WikiProject banners. Thanks for your hard work - I can see that it's a pretty thankless task. I noticed that some of the project tags that you tried to add don't actually exist, though, like the Winter sports project here, and WikiProject Presbyterianism here. These end up listed in Wikipedia:Database reports/Broken WikiProject templates, so although I don't want to take anything away from the work you're doing, if you get the names wrong it does create cleanup work for others. How are you tagging these - is it all manual, or are you using some kind of automation? It strikes me that these errors could be reduced or eliminated through some scripting magic.

you need some template coding knowledge, and although most templates like this would be simple, it could be complicated if the target template is a big one like {{
WikiProject United States}}
. It might be a good idea to leave a message on the project talk page for those cases. Also, a trick I often use is typing "Template:WikiProject Topic area" into the Wikipedia search bar, which only comes up with templates or template redirects that exist on the project. Try it and see if it works for you. —

is probably not worth the cost of maintaining it. You would need to add parameters for all of the WikiProject Australia task forces, and update the template every time the main WP Australia template added a new task force or changed a parameter. A simple redirect won't have any of these problems, although it will look a bit strange to have to type {{

"reverting a redlink editors repeated deletion of sourced content isn't a sin, it's a minor barnstar"
I'd like to add that to my collection of Wiki-wisdom, if you don't mind. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 02:29, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
hello. What gives exactly? It's that IP address that is "near 3RR" and reverted a good and accurate edit FIRST. And actually you're wrong anyway. It's NOT "3RR" at all...because the revert was OVER A WEEK AGO. Nothing at all "within 24 hours". But aside from that, why side with him at all anyway? It doesn't matter that the article name is "Mosaic Covenant". That's not the point. What is the point is that "Mosaic Law Covenant" is ALSO standard and correct way of saying it. Stop violating WP policy by undoing VALID AND CORRECT MODIFICATIONS AND EDITS. You will be reverted right now, sir...because you did wrong in what you did. You stated something that isn't even true...cuz in this case, there's NO "3RR" issue. Check the dates more carefully. Also, again, the actual issue is that correct and valid modifications are NOT to be reverted by anyone, at all. "Mosaic Law Covenant" is accurate and standard too. So why undo that? You offered no real reason. You were out of line in what you did. Gabby Merger ( talk) 00:36, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi In ictu oculi. I have, despite your (entirely valid) point on the talkpage, deleted Nara Lokesh; after reading through it, it struck me as pretty unsalvagable. You're right that an article on the subject is necessary, but frankly, it needs to be written from scratch by someone who doesn't have a soapbox to stand on; I wondered whether you might be willing to create it? If you want to do so, I'd be happy to provide the references from the deleted page to facilitate the process. Cheers, Yunshui 雲 水 10:52, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Someone posted recently at WP:AN requesting an uninvolved admin to close Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Partially disambiguated titles. I looked at this and it seems confusing. Do you have any time to answer questions about the issue? Thanks, EdJohnston ( talk) 02:32, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for notifying me of this discussion, Ed. We believed that the proposed guideline had seven-editor consensus and not solely two or three as In ictu oculi suggests above. The purpose of this guideline is to prevent there being articles with titles that employ parenthetical disambiguators that do not serve the purpose of disambiguation (ie. even with the parenthetical disambiguator, the title can refer to multiple articles). The "common-sense exceptions" are exactly the cases this guideline is intended to address. Already, most articles that employ parenthetical disambiguation disambiguate fully (ie. the disambiguators serve their purpose). It is only in the cases where one of the articles is much more popular than the others that partially disambiguated titles tend to be used in practice, such as in the case of Tommy (film) and Tommy (1931 film) or Exodus (band) and Exodus (Polish band); the 1975 film and the American band are more popular than the 1931 film and the Polish band. In this way, editors have unofficially adopted the concept of a "second-tier" primary target as "common-sense exceptions" to the already generally accepted idea that disambiguators should disambiguate. The purpose of this guideline is to get rid of these "second-tier" primary targets (ie. move Tommy (film) to Tommy (1975 film) and move Exodus (band) to Exodus (American band). Please note that the less-absolute suggestion that In ictu oculi suggests would not not be worth making into a guideline because it would never be usable; it is only in cases where one instance of a thing is really popular that anyone advocates a "second-tier" primary target, and that is exactly the case to which In ictu oculi suggests that the guideline should not apply.

Last time, I already insist that I would prefer to leave my talk page to be permanently blocked and only admin can edit. Yes, my removal of warning is wrong, that means the IP who used multiples addresses to avoid 3RR rule is also wrong, that means some racist users who only target Vietnamese diacritics but not European ones are also wrong, that means some users who moved pages counter Rm results are worse than me, that means the users who massive moved pages without discussions are also worse than me.

Thanks for replying to
this.
My only aim here was to
neutralize the term, and I’m mindful that the
perfect is the enemy of the good. I’m aware the terms I’ve chosen may not be academically sound, but for a dab page to work, the terms have to be somewhat related, so the article titles themselves won’t do. And I looked for at least three of them so TWODABS wouldn’t be an issue. If the current terms are no good at all, and you know of any others that would fit the bill then I’m open to suggestion; but are you OK in principle with the change of use?

Please see most recent comments at the [Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2013_May_3#Sto:lo_categories|Sto:lo CfR]], which remains unresolved now six weeks since it began. And note the other two unresolved CfRs from the same date, and that I moved Nuxalk with an accent to Nuxalk people to try to resolve that CfR to Category:Nuxalk from the accented version, though I would prefer it simply be at Nuxalk, and that all the "FOO people" ("[endonym] people") speedies should all be reverted not just because undicussed, but also because they are culturally inappropriate; some were anglicized, like Secwepemc/Shuswap people, but I did not propose RMs on them...e.g. Dakelh is now Carrier people, again by a speedy without RM....and guess by who? That category, for now, is still Category:Dakelh and Category:Dakelh people is for "People who are Dakelh" and has, so far, not been speeedied to match the un-RMd-but-speedied main article title....as has been the case with the also unresolved Skwxwu7mesh/ Squamish people CfR, though that one was indeed RMd...but the choice of the endonyms, as explained before, goes back to the creation of these articles by informed authors, not by people running amuck with a a guideline in their hand and changing things willy-nilly without regard to the facts on the ground, or why those names were the way they were. Somebody needs a spanking......and the endonym-named articles and templates should be, as Obi Wan in at least one of the CfRs or RMs now closed, "locked" or with a special template noting they should not be changed again. I'm the "informed" editor on these subjects, alongside a few others from BC, and interloping by people who only know their guidelines and what the common terms are for THEM, is a big problem; I've had no "bites" on my attempts to start a guideline discussion about these matters, and am kinda exhausted about it all......and know my writing energies and information/knowledge are maybe spent elsewhere; and I know others feel the same way, and dread the inevitable MOS-type debates towards those guidelines; informed editors are fewer and fewer in number......it seems clear why. I don't want to be an admin and obviously don't have the fake-humble tongue needed to get approval, but is there any way I myself can jump past redirects caused by such speedies and fix these matters without having to go to war in a CfR or RM to get what is correct and viable, without having to explain things over and over again to 5-20 different people? And then hope for a wise admin capable of wading past the verbiage and "getting the point" and doing the right thing? Seems like a bulk RM is needed, to, to fix the "FOO people" changes which someone - Obi Wan - said "we" use....who is "we"??? Certainly not me.... Skookum1 ( talk) 18:42, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I have been busy away from wikipedia for a while, I think about a month and a half, developing a list of those reference sources which have been regarded by the American Library Association as the best reference sources of the year, among other things, in preparation for maybe starting some sort of effort to draft guidelines for religion, politics, philosophy, and other sorts of "beliefs"/"ideas". I have noticed that the article above is currently being considered for FA status. I haven't specifically checked it against those sources which have been regarded as the best reference sources by the ALA, sources like the Anchor Bible Dictionary, but I do have some concerns regarding the matter. One, I note that the Anchor Bible Dictionary in its article on the Gospel of the Ebionites specifically indicates that the tense of the extant quotations is not consistent, and that source states that there may well be some reason, on that basis, to question whether the document as it survives is actually one document, rather than one stand-alone source. I was wondering why you, who are at least one of the more reliable and reasonable editors on matters of early Christianity/Christian Bible, seem not to have been very heavily involved in this matter. John Carter ( talk) 19:14, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Per policy, we should not be including Chinese characters in our article titles.

I did read [21] and I don't buy it either. For some parts, it mention that we use some similar spelling such as those in media articles. This logical idea is NOT worthy enough. Because according to that logic, it is also applicable to many other Latin-alphabet languages. Such as the case here, you can see it, the sources EXCLUSIVELY spell it as "Moraca" and NOT "Morača" such as in Wikipedia. You should mention this on your comments against future diacritic removals. Now we see clear and clear. Except for anglicized words, we write other words without diacritics because that is convenience in typing. But here on Wikipedia we generally keep diacritics for non-anglicized words. Our stance will not change. ༆ ( talk) 00:38, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

I was earlier onboard with having a translation in the title, but @ Mythsearcher: makes a good point, which is that many of these modern meanings may be more accidents of language than origin stories.

I've been pondering about what to do at the Nguyễn Dynasty RM, but it brought another question to mind that I thought I'd ask you about. In the Nguyễn article, it says that "Nguyễn" is the 7th most popular surname in Australia, 54th in France, 57th in the U.S., etc. Of course, in each of those countries, it's rendered "Nguyen", which is why we have articles such as Dat Nguyen. So my question for you is, what impact should the popularity of this surname in countries without Vietnamese diacritics have on how we render it on WP? Wouldn't it be more accurate to use the version of a word that's actually used in that place? Compare how the French WP handles this. It uses both Nguyễn and Nguyen, depending on context. Wouldn't it be more accurate to state that "Nguyen" is the 7th most popular surname in Australia? Just curious what you think... Dohn joe ( talk) 04:28, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

A few questions came up on the article talk page and in FAR about material you contributed to the Gospel of the Ebionites article. I am trying to preserve this content and I could use your help as follows:
The term Gospel of the Ebionites is a scholarly convention in use at least as early as the French priest Richard Simon (1689); [1] however no surviving document of the early church mentions a gospel by that name. [2]
1. Do you have a reliable secondary source that mentions Richard Simon and his first use of the term Gospel of the Ebionites? The reviewers are asking for that reference to supplement Simon as a source.
Epiphanius complains that the Ebionites have falsified the text by substituting the word "cake" (egkris ἐγκρίς) [n 1] for "locust" (akris ἀκρίς, in Matthew 3:4).
2. Why did you use Pape instead of a more modern source? The reviewers are questioning the age of the source. I would like to keep Pape in there, but I need to explain why Pape matters in a note or else add a modern secondary source that mentions Pape.
Thanks in advance for pitching in to help out. Btw, the FAR page is open if you care to leave a comment. Ignocrates ( talk) 20:43, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
I can address the first objection by simply rearranging the sentences as follows:
The term Gospel of the Ebionites is a scholarly convention; no surviving document of the early church mentions a gospel by that name. [2] However, it was in use at least as early as the French priest Richard Simon (1689); [1]
1. The reviewer was objecting to mixing the use of Gospel of the Ebionites as a scholarly convention (which he apparently read as an unsourced statement) and its use by Richard Simon. Rearranging the sentences fixes that ambiguity.
2. I'm going to substitute a modern source for Pape like Cameron or Ehrman, since you are ok with making that change.
I think that about covers it. Thanks again. Ignocrates ( talk) 02:32, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure that the consensus reached could be extended in any meaningful way to the example you give for a few reasons - a) obviously the question wasn't asked, b) you could conceivably be losing information (what the diacritics are) and c) I think it would likely depend on what the person themselves wanted to be known as. Having read this RfC and some of the previous discussion I think the consensus would be that we should have both the title of the article and the name used in the article being the spelling used by the person. In the case where that includes diacritics then obviously the RfC would apply and in the case where it didn't I thikn a and b come into play and I currently have no idea of what the consensus would be. All that said that is my best guess of what consensus is and I don't think from this RfC, or what I've read elsewhere, that there's a clear enough consensus to be acted on. As a personal opinion I think having the title different to what's used in the lead as in your Eric Lanlard example and I remember some discussion about this before but really can't remember where or what the outcome was.

As the creator and one of the main contributors to the list articles of pilots awarded licences in the early days of aviation, I would be interested to know why you have classified them as "Start class". Given the closed nature of such lists, the fact that there are entries for all of the pilots and short biographical details for most of them, not to mention the time and effort of several editors involved in locating, collating and tabulating the data, I feel that 'start' is incorrect. Don't get me wrong - I'm not annoyed, just genuinely interested in the reasons for this classification. Thanks. -- TraceyR ( talk) 06:30, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi. You ask is Winterthur Hauptbahnhof the only Swiss Hauptbahnhof affected by the 121 undiscussed moves?. I believe so. We successfully defended Zurich Hauptbahnhof against rename a while ago, and there are no other Swiss railway station articles named * Hauptbahnhof, * Central Station, * main station or similar. I think the Swiss were just more sparing in the use of Hauptbahnhof than the Germans or the Austrians, so there was less opportunity for this mess to arise there. -- chris_j_wood ( talk) 14:32, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Belinda Cabo Verde.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Tbhotch. ™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 23:26, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Như Quỳnh (actress) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Thanks very much for yours at my User talk. To answer your questions, the belligerence and the point of view (make the No Gun Ri Massacre go away) are similar, but there's a decided difference in their interests, judging from their User pages etc., and Kauffner, as I recall, was more literate than the hamhanded Weldneck. The problem, as essentially a neophyte at Wikipedia, is to know how to blow the whistle on Weldneck, now that he has stooped to outright fabrications -- by adding nonexistent words to documentary sources -- and to wholesale deletion of well-sourced facts that disturb his point of view. Any suggestions? Thanks. Charles J. Hanley 11:55, 15 October 2013 (UTC) Cjhanley ( talk • contribs)
Thanks for yours at my Talk page. Would you suggest that I post that appeal at that NPOV board? And-or ask one of those POV specialists you mentioned directly, via his Talk page, to intervene?

Thank you for uploading File:Zheng Jun Naked.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 ( talk) 16:55, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

I appreciate what you're doing with the song articles tonight. Drink It Down for instance is an signal improvement over whatever was there before, from a musicological and encyclopedic standpoint.
As a practical matter, Wikipedians will not go for moving (say) BlatherPop (song) to BlatherPop (Mickey Moron and the Cretins song) and so forthy unless and until there's another article for a song with the same name already existing. I think people should be a bit flexible about that, but they're not. So in cases like the One Drop (song) deal I suppose it's necessary to create the other article first, even if it's a one-sentence placeholder for the time being. I fixed up the situation there though.
It gets kind of random. If Drink It Down (L'Arc-en-Ciel song) had already existed as a redirect (as was the case with One Drop (KAT-TUN song)), then I suppose you would have to name your article One Drop (drinking song) or One Drop (folk song) or something, then requested (at WP:RMT) an uncontested move of the existing Drink It Down (which would have been about the L'Arc-en-Ciel song) over to Drink It Down (L'Arc-en-Ciel song). Then you'd have to recreate the article Drink It Down as a redirect to both songs. (Or, if you wanted to try, make that case that your "Drink It Down" is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for that phrase so that One Drop (drinking song) should be move to Drink It Down. But you probably wouldn't win that argument.)

Hi. I have looked over two of your articles today, and I supported you in an AfD.

You have been around Wikipedia for several years, and it is annoying when experienced editors ignore Wikipedia style requirements. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 18:22, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
In ictu, this is sage advice. I've been meaning to say the same thing about dab pages you create or add to - you simply work on too many for them not to be formatted properly according to
MOS:DAB. I don't mean to chastise, but taking just a moment to format the pages correctly as you work saves time and energy for people who come along afterward.
For instance, this has a number of style problems. Per the MOS, the standing primary topic is bolded and goes above the other entries; there should only be one blue link on any line; and albums and long works are distinguished by italics, while songs and short works are distinguished by quote marks. The piping/redirecting style guidelines are nuanced, but only the actual album/song titles get italics/quote marks, not the disambiguation. So for instance, the song is formatted as [[Suck It and See (song)|"Suck It and See" (song)]]. If something needs to be linked in the description rather than the list, as with the Grim Reaper song, it can be piped normally. See my edits here and let me know if you have any questions.-- Cúchullain t/ c 15:38, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
Ssilvers, if someone comes to my talk page telling me to do something - add ISBNs - because the guideline says so and then the guideline doesn't say so then the question whether the guideline is wrong is legitimate. As regards linking to Google Books I have explained before that access problems outside America and deprecation of Google Books stock make a link of less value than an actual hardwired citation of the relevant sentence. Otherwise WP:CITE is a not a very well presented guideline, parts are illegible. But I think keeping discussion of this on Wikipedia_talk:Citing_sources#How_to_cite_quotations_for_verifiability is better than on my Talk page In ictu oculi ( talk) 00:22, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

My comment about Mayor of Leicester did not mean that a person who became mayor was NN, just that his holding that office did not make him notable. Bolckow is notable for other reasons - as a very important ironmaster and as an MP. A 19th-century mayor who may have had a role more like a leader of the council. Certainly there have been councillors who had achieved notable things and are hence notable, but the run-of-the-mill local councillor is generally not notable unless for other reasons. This is the WP consensus see WP:POLITICIAN. List articles can be useful, but commonly as a means of identifying articles that are needed - the occasional redlink in a list of blue-linked people. We also encourage them rather than categories for lists of performers; lists of award winners; and otehr cases where a category is considered to be a case of overcategorisation.

I'm probably giving you the impression that I am opposed to a merge or deletion of Ret Prof.'s article, but that is not true. My concern is that the discussion is trending toward what is probably the right decision (deletion) but for all the wrong reasons. An article on a hypothetical Hebrew gospel should have nothing to do with the article on the greek Gospel of the Hebrews. The right discussion to be having is a proposal to merge into the umbrella article that you wrote on the Hebrew Gospel hypothesis. Therefore, I propose that we end this misdirected discussion now and move the merge tags to that article. Ignocrates ( talk) 17:07, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Sound advice, and I intend to follow it. (Actually, when CC gave me the advice earlier, I already intend to stop reverting Tales of Moonlight and Rain at least in the meantime, as one more would have been a 3RR-violation.)
Anyway, regarding the DVD covers: it's an interesting point you raise, but I have very little experience uploading images to Wikipedia. If I recall correctly, one of my uploads from 2005 or so got deleted on the grounds of being a 2D photograph of a NEAR-2D stone carving from ancient Scandinavia of dubious copyright status. (I admit I found it on Google, but my interpretation was that since the image itself obviously is in the public domain, then some guy's photograph must also be.) My point being that I am terrified of copyright issues on Wikipedia, and the technicalities of adding images to articles (unless I am translating an article from scratch from ja.wiki, and the Japanese article already had an established rationale for all the images) are confusing to me. So I really amn't sure about how to implement your advice. Additionally, regarding AfD and RM: I'll think about it. (^_~) elvenscout742 ( talk) 04:02, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Chieko Baisho Utagari CD.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy.

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

Hi. Recently on Roza Bal you claimed that Elaine Pagels was not a mainstream scholar. I'm curious what you meant by this statement. She's about as mainstream as one can get, so perhaps you meant to say something else entirely or you are using the term "mainstream" in a way that differs from common usage.

Hello IIO.
I wonder if I can I ask you to perform a requested move? I am the original proposer, and therefore I shouldn't do it myself, according to the instructions for closing RMs. There is currently a huge backlog, so I don't expect it to be done in a long time if I don't ask anyone.
There has not been much discussion, but the two that have bothered to comment have supported the move. You can see for yourself at Talk:2008–09 Speed Skating World Cup/100 m Men.
If you perform the move, I will relieve you of the cleanup work required, when you notify me.
Thanks

I took a quick look and I think you hit gold dust with Müller translating it into German in 1894. Also the "b" to "y" change by duplication of a dot was very interesting.

It is clear now that I am not as acquainted as I should be with deletion policy. There is a pressing matter, however. An editor who is a frequent associate of Msoamu has created an article which is designed solely to insult and denigrate certain religious beliefs. Because there is no way it could be edited or altered to ever be neutral (or even notable), I didn't see any resort other than AfD. The article is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sunni Sufis and Salafi Jihadism. Your comments on how I have carried out the process would be appreciated. Deletion policy, along with policies regarding photographs of article subjects, are both things which I need to learn more about. MezzoMezzo ( talk) 05:39, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Surpreende-me o facto de um outro utilizador defender um administrador da Wikipedia, isso só demonstra a falta de caracter do administrador que injustamente me bloqueou mesmo que eu tenha contribuído durante mais de 7/8 anos na Wikipedia. Todos erramos, é certo, mas eu nunca tive nenhuma intenção nefasta nesta comunidade, enquanto ele sim. Ele teve uma finalidade: a de me afectar, de me prejudicar, mesmo sabendo que eu sou um utilizador com vários anos de contribuições, que nunca gerou problemas e sempre teve como prioridade a de melhorar a Wikipedia. Apesar disso eu nunca fui reconhecido pela comunidade, apenas uma vez: autopatrolled rights.

Hey man. Things have been escalated by Msoamu, Shabiha and Hassanfarooqi during the last six hours or so. I am now clearly being accused of belonging to a "terrorist organization," in addition to still constantly being ascribed to ideologies (namely Salafism and Wahhabism) which I have expressly said I don't agree with and fear personal/professional repercussions should my IP address ever be tied to such accusations. The timing of all these accusations really leads me to believe that this is not only coordinated among them, but specifically in reaction to my personal concerns. I would really like something done about this as soon as possible, whatever it is. I don't want to feel that I am putting myself at risk simply by logging in to Wikipedia. Some of the info is at WP:ANI.

The move discussion at Talk:Theater District, New York was closed without alerting editors at the relevant Wikiprojects to join in. It has long been the consensus at WP:THEATRE and WP:MUSICALS to spell the word "theatre", in part because theatre professionals prefer this spelling throughout the English-speaking world, and because this spelling is not wrong anywhere, while "theater" is wrong in many places,such as the UK. BTW, I am an American from New York City. Note that nearly all of the Broadway theatres are called "X Theatre".

You don't need to add interwiki links to articles anymore as Wikidata is no handling them. It is easy to add an entry in Wikidata. Goto the Wikidata main page, click "Create a new item" on the left sidebar, then click "check link". If you are creating a new English article, then add the Vietnamese article first. The program will check if it already has been added to Wikidata.
You should start using the {{ lang-vi}} and {{ lang}} templates. Use lang-vi first as it puts a wikilink to Vietnamese language. Afterwords, use the lang template. Main reason is screen readers for the blind. See an example here. Bgwhite ( talk) 06:40, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for
your recent post to my talk page; I am here to say I appreciate the gesture.
I acknowledge that we probably disagree on a range of issues, but I would not like that to stand between us as human beings. I admit I have been frustrated with some of your comments, and that some of my responses to you have been pretty testy: But I apologize if they have been hurtful or upsetting; that was not my intention. Also, (on reflection) I may not have been sufficiently aware of any cultural differences we might have regarding the threshold between abruptness and rudeness, and I apologize for the times when I have crossed that threshold.
If I can explain the background for some of my opinions (if it helps at all) I find myself increasingly frustrated by the divergence between what our guidelines say on language, style, format, etc and what seem to be growing trends in those things in practice. I don’t actually have a strong preference either way; if it was resolved that we use an idiosyncratic WP style to encompass international preferences, and the guidelines were changed to reflect that, I could live with it. But until they change. I feel it is bad form (underhand, even) to foist such a style on the project; if we are to have guidelines, I feel it is all our interests to actually follow them. And I am disturbed by the bad feeling that the resultant disagreements have created (and to continue to create) but hav eno idea what to do about them.
Anyway, thank you again, and (for my part) my apologies once again.

I am sorry I cannot help you, since I do not have any basic knowledge about Nôm characters. To be frankly, according to some information I have, it is extremely difficult to learn Nôm characters, even harder to learn Hán characters, and somebody claims that people have to master the Hán before learning the Nôm (ironically, isn't it ?).

Any text in Chữ Nôm, unless we're talking about a few individual glyphs or very short passages, has to encompass chữ Nho (Hán). Truyện Kiều, or as a matter of fact any of the truyện Nôm (Phan Trần, Nhị độ mai, Thạch Sanh...) although written in Nôm, also includes a large number of chữ Nho since Vietnamese has incorporated a substantial of Sino-derived vocabulary. If we're speaking purely about linguistics/syntax then you're correct it is a Nôm text. If we consider the morphemic elements then it is Hán-Nôm. Taking the 1st lục-bát couplet that start the tale as an example, you will see:
So even this Nôm text, chữ Nho cannot be excluded as morphemes. However if we read the entire couplet, syntactically it is purely Vietnamese (ie Nôm) because non-Vietnamese speakers, even if they are extremely well-versed in classical Chinese cannot understand it at all! Not a single iota! I hope all of this makes sense w/o adding to the confusion. If you want a simplistic answer, then yes, Truyện Kiều is a Nôm text. Duyet-pho ( talk) 06:22, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

First of all, I wonder do you have any Vietnamese blood in you? Like 1 Viet parent or grandparent or something? Why do you have such an immense interest in Vietnam? Have you been to Vietnam? If not then, one day if you ever come to Vietnam in the summer at Ho Chi Minh city (I currently live in a different country than Vietnam but I do come back every summer to visit), I will make sure to invite you to my house and show you around. Anyway I remember there was a big argument about whether or not Vietnamese words need accent. I can show you a great example how missing an accent can lead to great confusing. You can initiate the discussion again and I hope all the names should have the accents on. That's the sign with respect to write someone name correctly in their native language. Most Vietnamese would agree with me.
OK, let say the word "ma" with no accent. With accents, it can be 5 different words that have very distinct meanings. ma, má, mạ, mả, mà and mã, this one doesn't mean anything if it stands alone. So if there is no accent then how can you ever separate all those words into different articles? The no accent word is useful when it became a disambiguation page then from there you can look for the correct word with correspond accent. Regard! Pendragon5 ( talk) 22:10, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Hey man, I'm pretty sure I found a clear candidate for AfD while Wikisurfing this morning. I stumbled upon YaNabi.com and cut out a lot of material which has been unsourced for about four years. Other stuff was sourced with the actual website itself though improperly, and then there was a citation for the BBC because the site's comments were mentioned in one sentence; the citation was for a blanket copy paste from the BBC article. The only remaining source is Alexa, which I didn't remove because I'm not sure if it's RS or not.
I noticed the tags said that the article's creator may be close to the subject, so I checked the history and found it was created by User:Shabiha, whom you might remember from the previous "drama." I'm not sure how to handle this, but it seems like a clear issue of WP:ADVERT; I ran a search and all I could find on this site were quotes from Wordpress blogs. Given that the author also uploaded the picture from one of the websites youth meetings, I have the strong feeling that this is just an attempt at promoting the site; it seems to have no notability, and if you check the talk page you'll see that others were bringing that up about three years ago. Should I go ahead with it, or could you go ahead and nominate it, or is there another way to handle this? MezzoMezzo ( talk) 14:42, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
Regarding the red links, Salem el'Allan appears to be Salem Al-Allan who doesn't appear to be much reported on in English aside from this. Al-'Amiri might refer to Abdul Aziz al-Amiri but he was Sudani, not Bahraini. I couldn't find anything on Ahmad Bou Tabanja, which is a really common name - every third male person in Bahrain is named Ahmed. For al-Amiri by the way, there isn't much other than Youtube videos and some stuff on forums. Hs name is also really, really common so if you search in English I don't think you'll ever find what you need. At least in the case of the first and third person, though, they seem to be real and were famous at least in the region. What else did you need to know about them specifically?

His other main appearances seem to be in tabloid/gossip columns as a faddish 'guru' to various Bollywood stars. To your point, I would suggest that most main Indian news outlets meet relevant BLP criteria (in particular, both The Hindu and The Statesman are heavyweight publications that began publishing over 100 years ago). If any action had been taken regarding any particular article, they would have published apologies/retractions etc. There is no indication in their archives of any such action.

Thank you for coming in as a 3rd editor into this article Kalki Bhagavan. Regarding the edit on death of 2 inmates. I had marked this edit [ [9]] as WP:BLPPRIMARY WP:BLPREMOVE and removed it. Noticed you undid my edit
The issues with the original entry are: The editor MathewTStone failed to include key information that police record mention that the 2 people had died due to traffic accident. The editor MatheTStone only mention that "In 2010, two inmates of Kalki Bhagavan's ashram were found dead in suspicious circumstances, and local villagers staged an agitation" . Based on the editor MathewTStone track record, it seems the intent was only to attack and cause harm to the subject of this article. Also, "Asian Tribune" is an online newspaper and only aggregated this story. There are no primary source for this article.

Hello. I've seen that did you put some references to the article that I published about the Lalo Rios actor. The references listed appear to have more information about this actor that the that I've been able to get in internet (he emigrated with his parents to the two years ...). I think it might be interesting to incorporate new information in the article, in order to give a better insight into his biography. More information you do can provide if you want.

An IP nominated Faraaz Kazi for deletion, but the template links to the deletion discussion for some Bauhaus song. Not making this up. As an aside I actually feel Kazi is notable given some sources, if barely making it past the mark. But I'm not sure how to engage in discussion because I didn't nominate it and I suspect that the IP who did might not know how to do so properly. How should I approach this?

Hi there,
Thanks for the heads-up. My position on this hasn't really changed: I think that WP:SET is a unilateral attempt to introduce systemic bias into Wikipedia. By hiding behind algorithmic results, it purports to deliver objectivity, while encoding the designer's own biases in the code which is used. The constant references to Lech Walesa and Facundo Arguello (however spelled) show that it is a vehicle for the continuing culture-wars of the anti-diacritics mob. LittleBenW has on several occasions declined to engage in any discussion which allows for the possibility that his preferred search terms introduce systemic bias. I regard his addition of this POV-pushing template into WP:IRS as (yet another) violation of his topic ban on diacritics.
And for absolute clarity: I still consider that it is insane to claim that a source in a subject's native language (written or approved by the subject, often) is intrinsically less reliable than one written in the language of this Wikipedia, and of LittleBenW. If the Icelandic PM does not spell her own patronymic with two 'd's, nor should we. LittleBenW's absurd crusade seeks to institutionalise the reverse position.
I don't know what should be done; I feel like I've spent long enough at WP:ANI on this topic already, but if another case is opened there, I'm happy to weigh in. Please let me know your thoughts on this subject.
Many thanks,

Greetings. I'm going to tag the Gospel of the Ebionites article for a second peer review in about a week. I have the names of a few editors with the technical expertise to prepare articles for FAC. Unfortunately, no one I contacted knows any reviewers with the necessary technical skills and also a familiarity with the religion category. Can you come up with a short list of independent editors we might contact to evaluate the content? They should be outside the usual circle of editors we run into because this is supposed to be an external review. Of course, once the tag is placed anyone can participate.

Hey man, I could use some advice regarding Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hindu Taliban (3rd nomination). The nominator along with some who support the deletion and some who oppose it are now getting into some back and forth exchanges on the discussion with those who hold an opposing view. Now, one of the commenters dropped an F-bomb casually. I don't really care about the outcome, I voted for keep but I won't lose sleep if it's deleted, but what concerns me is that I can see this discussion becoming unfruitful and uncivil really fast. Considering that this is the article's third nomination - the first two basically ended with keep because those arguing for deletion had some funny business going on and then no consensus for similar bickering - I worry that there might not be a consensus again, which not only would mean everyone wasted their time but it could go to a fourth nomination (which could still boil down into an argument rather than discussion). What do you think ought to be done? Is there a way I can request an admin to try and moderate and tone down the discussion a bit? The back and forth arguing especially seems likely to lead to a no consensus ending again. MezzoMezzo ( talk) 11:37, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

I would like to hear your opinion if you also support that within a couple of days an article about a famous bodybuilding legend turned out into an article about a ... I do not even have words. All the previous contributions were deleted, not only those from me, and new ones are presented so misleading that people who know Mr Robinson and his life and achievements will never believe this is an article about him. Thak you. RRWM ( talk) 00:00, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
Dear [In ictu Oculi], I would like to apply for your help concerning Robinson's article once again:
1) Users Brocach and BarrelProof have recently deleted the REMI-Award for Robinson's DVD Built and inserted wrong information about his book -
deletion of REMI after humiliating editing
humiliation attempt on REMI
- can these people really make decisions that an official prize that even also has a page on Wiki that this living person was awarded is not worth mentioning in wikipedia?
- can they make parallel humiliating comments about every entrance from person's biography, that are visible for all the readers of the article?
I mean, REMI was not a small award, it is given to films, and BUILT is just a DVD, but special, like a TV film - on one side. But even if it is about small achievements of Robinson from school, is it allowed to parallel write humiliating comments? Who is allowed to decide what is importrant in the biography of living person?
2) my latest contribution to Robinson`s article was also deleted, see
my contribuition about creation of Robinson's memoirs deleted by BarrelProof
- Are materials from autobiographies/ memoirs and blog/ articles of living persons allowed to be used for wiki-article?
- do you also find, the citation of the review on Robinson's book from nomination committee of Writers' Digest has pure "promotional character"?
3) Comments of editors Brocach and now BarrelProof not only on Robinson's Talk page but also in summary lines to their "contributions"
- is it allowed that the editors of the article permanently publicly insult and try to humiliate the living person, the subject of the article?
- are they allowed to continue to work on the article?
All their discussions are publically open in internet, and they act as official representatives of Wikipedia. Since I am new here, I do not know, if here is any observing institution helping to avoid that wikipedia articles look like ground school kids dirty chat and do not directly descriminate and insult people, at least those that are the subject of the wiki-article?
4) could it be a kind of sabotage from Robinson's haters to force the managers of Robinson to apply to close the article?
Is it possible to avoid it?
5) What should I do with the direct insult towards my wiki-user from Brocach that the BarrelProof tried to hide by irreversible removal, see this
direct insult
I hope very much, you will be able to bring some clearance in this subject, since I can see you are a very experienced wikipedian, with many contributions to very many biographies and always correct actions on Robinson`s article.
Thank you very much

Thanks for the responses on Shuswap, Lillooet and Thompson, Tshilqot'in is even more compelling. It also relates to an older April 23 CfD, still unclosed, at Category:Chilcotin (region), which should either become Category:Chilcotin (like Category:Cariboo or Category:Okanagan which are for other similarly-named BC regions, vs what would happen if the main-article "rule" for category names were applied to Category:Tsilhqot'in... Category:People from the Chilcotin people is not a happy outcome especially if there was (and I think there is) Category:People from the Chilcotin or Category:People from the Chilcotin region. It's not just indigenous authenticity that's behind the practicality of the endonyms and why they were chosen, it was to make the distinction in the first place between the common meaning of the region vs the common meaning of the people. "Chilcotin" means "people of the red ochre river" and so "Chilcotin people" is redundant (with all Athapaskan names, the "-tin" ending or its cognates means "people" just as the -emc/-mc/-mx and others mean "people" in the various Salishan languages. -tin is the same as Dene in meaning.

Thank you for your support and response concerning my Chromatics article. I'm new here, as you see. I would be grateful if you wanted to look over the article I'm preparing; it's in my sandbox at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rdb112/sandbox. I do have several questions you may be able to help with.
I'm not sure if I should be writing to you by posting on YOUR talk page, or by editing your comments on mine. But I'm going to try sending this via your page first.
As a writer, I'm used to finishing an article before publication, but it appears that's not the way it's done here. For example, I have some pictures which I'd like to add to the Chromatics article, but it seems I'm not allowed to upload those until the article is created. I can do that; it's just an observation.
Of the article titles suggested by those who responded, I like Chromatics_(graphics) the best so far. Anyone who's looking for that company will know that they were not a general-purpose computer manufacturer, but a graphics computer manufacturer. But I don't see how to specify a title for the article. Is this done in the editor with markup tags, or is there a step in publishing the article during which I choose the title?
I may be able to locate a few more references, but I'd be interested to know if you feel this article is complete enough for publication. That would allow me to move forward with the pictures, and possibly the renaming/disambiguation tasks of the name Chromatics. Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello IIO. I am not soliciting you to vote in the move at Talk:Bazjaš monastery#Move?, but didn't I hear you say you speak one of the local languages? This move discussion was sitting in the backlog, and I thought I might close it. There is almost a tie between supporters and opponents. An oppose argument that may carry special weight (in my mind) is that of No Such User. In the local language, people might not be saying 'Studenica Monastery' but 'the monastery at Studenica'. In the latter case we probably don't want to capitalize monastery. That is, it may not considered a proper name in the local language. It may be known officially as the "Monastery of St. X" and just happens to be in Studenica. Can you see any such distinction? The link he cites for Studenica in the local language is this one. Thanks, EdJohnston ( talk) 20:18, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi in ictu oculi. :) I see that you've been tagging a load of talk pages with WikiProject banners. Thanks for your hard work - I can see that it's a pretty thankless task. I noticed that some of the project tags that you tried to add don't actually exist, though, like the Winter sports project here, and WikiProject Presbyterianism here. These end up listed in Wikipedia:Database reports/Broken WikiProject templates, so although I don't want to take anything away from the work you're doing, if you get the names wrong it does create cleanup work for others. How are you tagging these - is it all manual, or are you using some kind of automation? It strikes me that these errors could be reduced or eliminated through some scripting magic.

{{

equal {{

you need some template coding knowledge, and although most templates like this would be simple, it could be complicated if the target template is a big one like {{
WikiProject United States}}
. It might be a good idea to leave a message on the project talk page for those cases. Also, a trick I often use is typing "Template:WikiProject Topic area" into the Wikipedia search bar, which only comes up with templates or template redirects that exist on the project. Try it and see if it works for you. —

, and I can see that the benefits of a template that made {{

equal {{

is probably not worth the cost of maintaining it. You would need to add parameters for all of the WikiProject Australia task forces, and update the template every time the main WP Australia template added a new task force or changed a parameter. A simple redirect won't have any of these problems, although it will look a bit strange to have to type {{

. Nevertheless, it might prove useful, so I have
created that one too. —

"reverting a redlink editors repeated deletion of sourced content isn't a sin, it's a minor barnstar"
I'd like to add that to my collection of Wiki-wisdom, if you don't mind. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 02:29, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
hello. What gives exactly? It's that IP address that is "near 3RR" and reverted a good and accurate edit FIRST. And actually you're wrong anyway. It's NOT "3RR" at all...because the revert was OVER A WEEK AGO. Nothing at all "within 24 hours". But aside from that, why side with him at all anyway? It doesn't matter that the article name is "Mosaic Covenant". That's not the point. What is the point is that "Mosaic Law Covenant" is ALSO standard and correct way of saying it. Stop violating WP policy by undoing VALID AND CORRECT MODIFICATIONS AND EDITS. You will be reverted right now, sir...because you did wrong in what you did. You stated something that isn't even true...cuz in this case, there's NO "3RR" issue. Check the dates more carefully. Also, again, the actual issue is that correct and valid modifications are NOT to be reverted by anyone, at all. "Mosaic Law Covenant" is accurate and standard too. So why undo that? You offered no real reason. You were out of line in what you did. Gabby Merger ( talk) 00:36, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi In ictu oculi. I have, despite your (entirely valid) point on the talkpage, deleted Nara Lokesh; after reading through it, it struck me as pretty unsalvagable. You're right that an article on the subject is necessary, but frankly, it needs to be written from scratch by someone who doesn't have a soapbox to stand on; I wondered whether you might be willing to create it? If you want to do so, I'd be happy to provide the references from the deleted page to facilitate the process. Cheers, Yunshui 雲 水 10:52, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Someone posted recently at WP:AN requesting an uninvolved admin to close Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Partially disambiguated titles. I looked at this and it seems confusing. Do you have any time to answer questions about the issue? Thanks, EdJohnston ( talk) 02:32, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for notifying me of this discussion, Ed. We believed that the proposed guideline had seven-editor consensus and not solely two or three as In ictu oculi suggests above. The purpose of this guideline is to prevent there being articles with titles that employ parenthetical disambiguators that do not serve the purpose of disambiguation (ie. even with the parenthetical disambiguator, the title can refer to multiple articles). The "common-sense exceptions" are exactly the cases this guideline is intended to address. Already, most articles that employ parenthetical disambiguation disambiguate fully (ie. the disambiguators serve their purpose). It is only in the cases where one of the articles is much more popular than the others that partially disambiguated titles tend to be used in practice, such as in the case of Tommy (film) and Tommy (1931 film) or Exodus (band) and Exodus (Polish band); the 1975 film and the American band are more popular than the 1931 film and the Polish band. In this way, editors have unofficially adopted the concept of a "second-tier" primary target as "common-sense exceptions" to the already generally accepted idea that disambiguators should disambiguate. The purpose of this guideline is to get rid of these "second-tier" primary targets (ie. move Tommy (film) to Tommy (1975 film) and move Exodus (band) to Exodus (American band). Please note that the less-absolute suggestion that In ictu oculi suggests would not not be worth making into a guideline because it would never be usable; it is only in cases where one instance of a thing is really popular that anyone advocates a "second-tier" primary target, and that is exactly the case to which In ictu oculi suggests that the guideline should not apply.

Last time, I already insist that I would prefer to leave my talk page to be permanently blocked and only admin can edit. Yes, my removal of warning is wrong, that means the IP who used multiples addresses to avoid 3RR rule is also wrong, that means some racist users who only target Vietnamese diacritics but not European ones are also wrong, that means some users who moved pages counter Rm results are worse than me, that means the users who massive moved pages without discussions are also worse than me.

Thanks for replying to
this.
My only aim here was to
neutralize the term, and I’m mindful that the
perfect is the enemy of the good. I’m aware the terms I’ve chosen may not be academically sound, but for a dab page to work, the terms have to be somewhat related, so the article titles themselves won’t do. And I looked for at least three of them so TWODABS wouldn’t be an issue. If the current terms are no good at all, and you know of any others that would fit the bill then I’m open to suggestion; but are you OK in principle with the change of use?

Please see most recent comments at the [Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2013_May_3#Sto:lo_categories|Sto:lo CfR]], which remains unresolved now six weeks since it began. And note the other two unresolved CfRs from the same date, and that I moved Nuxalk with an accent to Nuxalk people to try to resolve that CfR to Category:Nuxalk from the accented version, though I would prefer it simply be at Nuxalk, and that all the "FOO people" ("[endonym] people") speedies should all be reverted not just because undicussed, but also because they are culturally inappropriate; some were anglicized, like Secwepemc/Shuswap people, but I did not propose RMs on them...e.g. Dakelh is now Carrier people, again by a speedy without RM....and guess by who? That category, for now, is still Category:Dakelh and Category:Dakelh people is for "People who are Dakelh" and has, so far, not been speeedied to match the un-RMd-but-speedied main article title....as has been the case with the also unresolved Skwxwu7mesh/ Squamish people CfR, though that one was indeed RMd...but the choice of the endonyms, as explained before, goes back to the creation of these articles by informed authors, not by people running amuck with a a guideline in their hand and changing things willy-nilly without regard to the facts on the ground, or why those names were the way they were. Somebody needs a spanking......and the endonym-named articles and templates should be, as Obi Wan in at least one of the CfRs or RMs now closed, "locked" or with a special template noting they should not be changed again. I'm the "informed" editor on these subjects, alongside a few others from BC, and interloping by people who only know their guidelines and what the common terms are for THEM, is a big problem; I've had no "bites" on my attempts to start a guideline discussion about these matters, and am kinda exhausted about it all......and know my writing energies and information/knowledge are maybe spent elsewhere; and I know others feel the same way, and dread the inevitable MOS-type debates towards those guidelines; informed editors are fewer and fewer in number......it seems clear why. I don't want to be an admin and obviously don't have the fake-humble tongue needed to get approval, but is there any way I myself can jump past redirects caused by such speedies and fix these matters without having to go to war in a CfR or RM to get what is correct and viable, without having to explain things over and over again to 5-20 different people? And then hope for a wise admin capable of wading past the verbiage and "getting the point" and doing the right thing? Seems like a bulk RM is needed, to, to fix the "FOO people" changes which someone - Obi Wan - said "we" use....who is "we"??? Certainly not me.... Skookum1 ( talk) 18:42, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I have been busy away from wikipedia for a while, I think about a month and a half, developing a list of those reference sources which have been regarded by the American Library Association as the best reference sources of the year, among other things, in preparation for maybe starting some sort of effort to draft guidelines for religion, politics, philosophy, and other sorts of "beliefs"/"ideas". I have noticed that the article above is currently being considered for FA status. I haven't specifically checked it against those sources which have been regarded as the best reference sources by the ALA, sources like the Anchor Bible Dictionary, but I do have some concerns regarding the matter. One, I note that the Anchor Bible Dictionary in its article on the Gospel of the Ebionites specifically indicates that the tense of the extant quotations is not consistent, and that source states that there may well be some reason, on that basis, to question whether the document as it survives is actually one document, rather than one stand-alone source. I was wondering why you, who are at least one of the more reliable and reasonable editors on matters of early Christianity/Christian Bible, seem not to have been very heavily involved in this matter.

Per policy, we should not be including Chinese characters in our article titles.

I can't read Hebrew, but based Google Translate it looks like that is a search engine result for dance lessons given by an instructor named Feldman. If you read Hebrew, maybe you could copy the sources from the Hebrew-language page into the English page? Happy editing, Cnilep ( talk) 05:44, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
I did read [21] and I don't buy it either. For some parts, it mention that we use some similar spelling such as those in media articles. This logical idea is NOT worthy enough. Because according to that logic, it is also applicable to many other Latin-alphabet languages. Such as the case here, you can see it, the sources EXCLUSIVELY spell it as "Moraca" and NOT "Morača" such as in Wikipedia. You should mention this on your comments against future diacritic removals. Now we see clear and clear. Except for anglicized words, we write other words without diacritics because that is convenience in typing. But here on Wikipedia we generally keep diacritics for non-anglicized words. Our stance will not change. ༆ ( talk) 00:38, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

I was earlier onboard with having a translation in the title, but @ Mythsearcher: makes a good point, which is that many of these modern meanings may be more accidents of language than origin stories. Teasing that out can be done in article, but placing in the title gives it an air of authority which is in some cases misplaced.-- Obi-Wan Kenobi ( talk) 06:24, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

I've been pondering about what to do at the Nguyễn Dynasty RM, but it brought another question to mind that I thought I'd ask you about. In the Nguyễn article, it says that "Nguyễn" is the 7th most popular surname in Australia, 54th in France, 57th in the U.S., etc. Of course, in each of those countries, it's rendered "Nguyen", which is why we have articles such as Dat Nguyen. So my question for you is, what impact should the popularity of this surname in countries without Vietnamese diacritics have on how we render it on WP? Wouldn't it be more accurate to use the version of a word that's actually used in that place? Compare how the French WP handles this. It uses both Nguyễn and Nguyen, depending on context. Wouldn't it be more accurate to state that "Nguyen" is the 7th most popular surname in Australia? Just curious what you think... Dohn joe ( talk) 04:28, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

A few questions came up on the article talk page and in FAR about material you contributed to the Gospel of the Ebionites article. I am trying to preserve this content and I could use your help as follows:
The term Gospel of the Ebionites is a scholarly convention in use at least as early as the French priest Richard Simon (1689); [1] however no surviving document of the early church mentions a gospel by that name. [2]
1. Do you have a reliable secondary source that mentions Richard Simon and his first use of the term Gospel of the Ebionites? The reviewers are asking for that reference to supplement Simon as a source.
Epiphanius complains that the Ebionites have falsified the text by substituting the word "cake" (egkris ἐγκρίς) [n 1] for "locust" (akris ἀκρίς, in Matthew 3:4).
2. Why did you use Pape instead of a more modern source? The reviewers are questioning the age of the source. I would like to keep Pape in there, but I need to explain why Pape matters in a note or else add a modern secondary source that mentions Pape.
Thanks in advance for pitching in to help out. Btw, the FAR page is open if you care to leave a comment. Ignocrates ( talk) 20:43, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
I can address the first objection by simply rearranging the sentences as follows:
The term Gospel of the Ebionites is a scholarly convention; no surviving document of the early church mentions a gospel by that name. [2] However, it was in use at least as early as the French priest Richard Simon (1689); [1]
1. The reviewer was objecting to mixing the use of Gospel of the Ebionites as a scholarly convention (which he apparently read as an unsourced statement) and its use by Richard Simon. Rearranging the sentences fixes that ambiguity.
2. I'm going to substitute a modern source for Pape like Cameron or Ehrman, since you are ok with making that change.
I think that about covers it. Thanks again. Ignocrates ( talk) 02:32, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure that the consensus reached could be extended in any meaningful way to the example you give for a few reasons - a) obviously the question wasn't asked, b) you could conceivably be losing information (what the diacritics are) and c) I think it would likely depend on what the person themselves wanted to be known as. Having read this RfC and some of the previous discussion I think the consensus would be that we should have both the title of the article and the name used in the article being the spelling used by the person. In the case where that includes diacritics then obviously the RfC would apply and in the case where it didn't I thikn a and b come into play and I currently have no idea of what the consensus would be. All that said that is my best guess of what consensus is and I don't think from this RfC, or what I've read elsewhere, that there's a clear enough consensus to be acted on. As a personal opinion I think having the title different to what's used in the lead as in your Eric Lanlard example and I remember some discussion about this before but really can't remember where or what the outcome was.

As the creator and one of the main contributors to the list articles of pilots awarded licences in the early days of aviation, I would be interested to know why you have classified them as "Start class". Given the closed nature of such lists, the fact that there are entries for all of the pilots and short biographical details for most of them, not to mention the time and effort of several editors involved in locating, collating and tabulating the data, I feel that 'start' is incorrect.

You requested merger of the two although they are certainly two different individuals. One is born in 1978 the other in 1948. One is a singer, the other a television personality. So merger request not valid. In any case, I have responded in the discussion section you indicated.

A tag has been placed on Black Bob (horse) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a specific animal, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. ...William 10:46, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

In ictu oculi, hi! My article on the Holy Incense was rejected on grounds that it sounded more like an essay than an encyclopedia article.

Thanks for uploading File:Belinda Cabo Verde.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy.

Thanks very much for yours at my User talk. To answer your questions, the belligerence and the point of view (make the No Gun Ri Massacre go away) are similar, but there's a decided difference in their interests, judging from their User pages etc., and Kauffner, as I recall, was more literate than the hamhanded Weldneck. The problem, as essentially a neophyte at Wikipedia, is to know how to blow the whistle on Weldneck, now that he has stooped to outright fabrications -- by adding nonexistent words to documentary sources -- and to wholesale deletion of well-sourced facts that disturb his point of view. Any suggestions? Thanks. Charles J. Hanley 11:55, 15 October 2013 (UTC) Cjhanley ( talk • contribs)
Thanks for yours at my Talk page. Would you suggest that I post that appeal at that NPOV board? And-or ask one of those POV specialists you mentioned directly, via his Talk page, to intervene?

Thanks for creating Raising of the widow of Zarephath's son. I note that the title is formally ambiguous, though maybe it wouldn't confuse anybody.

Thank you for uploading File:Zheng Jun Naked.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 ( talk) 16:55, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Polyphème (opera), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Acis and Galatea ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

None of the last 25 protection log entries for WP:AN, dating back to October 2011, involve full edit protection; the only thing that requires admin rights is moving the page. Nyttend ( talk) 14:32, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
Hello IIO, I notice that "Deal with the Devil (song)" was moved to "Deal with the Devil (Onyx song)", even though New York music ensemble Onyx has never produced a notable song by this name. I think that "Deal with the Devil (2013 Pop Evil song)" [or a truncated version thereof] would be a much better title for the article. What are your thoughts on this? -- Jax 0677 ( talk) 04:58, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
I appreciate what you're doing with the song articles tonight. Drink It Down for instance is an signal improvement over whatever was there before, from a musicological and encyclopedic standpoint.
As a practical matter, Wikipedians will not go for moving (say) BlatherPop (song) to BlatherPop (Mickey Moron and the Cretins song) and so forthy unless and until there's another article for a song with the same name already existing. I think people should be a bit flexible about that, but they're not. So in cases like the One Drop (song) deal I suppose it's necessary to create the other article first, even if it's a one-sentence placeholder for the time being. I fixed up the situation there though.
It gets kind of random. If Drink It Down (L'Arc-en-Ciel song) had already existed as a redirect (as was the case with One Drop (KAT-TUN song)), then I suppose you would have to name your article One Drop (drinking song) or One Drop (folk song) or something, then requested (at WP:RMT) an uncontested move of the existing Drink It Down (which would have been about the L'Arc-en-Ciel song) over to Drink It Down (L'Arc-en-Ciel song). Then you'd have to recreate the article Drink It Down as a redirect to both songs. (Or, if you wanted to try, make that case that your "Drink It Down" is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for that phrase so that One Drop (drinking song) should be move to Drink It Down. But you probably wouldn't win that argument.)

Popular music: Italicize album titles, but use quotation marks for song titles: “One Way Ticket,” a single from Blue, was a hit more than a decade ago. Classical music: Italicize titles of operas, oratorios, motets, tone poems, and program-oriented works (that is, works that tell a story): Carmen Vivaldi's Four Seasons Use quotation marks for songs from operas.
There are 2 written versions of the Norwegian language. In the one, Nynorsk, the name of the country is Noreg (or Kongeriket Noreg). In the other, Bokmål, the name is Norge (or Kongeriket Norge). Kongeriket ~ The Monarchy.
There is a third language(s) Samisk. It/they may also have names for Norway? -- Hordaland ( talk) 12:01, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi. I have looked over two of your articles today, and I supported you in an AfD. I think that you would make it easier for other editors to support what you are doing if you carefully reviewed WP:MOS and WP:CITE. You have been around Wikipedia for several years, and it is annoying when experienced editors ignore Wikipedia style requirements. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 18:22, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
In ictu, this is sage advice. I've been meaning to say the same thing about dab pages you create or add to - you simply work on too many for them not to be formatted properly according to
MOS:DAB. I don't mean to chastise, but taking just a moment to format the pages correctly as you work saves time and energy for people who come along afterward.
For instance, this has a number of style problems. Per the MOS, the standing primary topic is bolded and goes above the other entries; there should only be one blue link on any line; and albums and long works are distinguished by italics, while songs and short works are distinguished by quote marks. The piping/redirecting style guidelines are nuanced, but only the actual album/song titles get italics/quote marks, not the disambiguation. So for instance, the song is formatted as [[Suck It and See (song)|"Suck It and See" (song)]]. If something needs to be linked in the description rather than the list, as with the Grim Reaper song, it can be piped normally. See my edits here and let me know if you have any questions.-- Cúchullain t/ c 15:38, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
Ssilvers, if someone comes to my talk page telling me to do something - add ISBNs - because the guideline says so and then the guideline doesn't say so then the question whether the guideline is wrong is legitimate. As regards linking to Google Books I have explained before that access problems outside America and deprecation of Google Books stock make a link of less value than an actual hardwired citation of the relevant sentence. Otherwise WP:CITE is a not a very well presented guideline, parts are illegible. But I think keeping discussion of this on Wikipedia_talk:Citing_sources#How_to_cite_quotations_for_verifiability is better than on my Talk page In ictu oculi ( talk) 00:22, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

![]() | On 12 December 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Bessie Jones (Welsh singer), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Welsh singer Bessie Jones was the first to record Noël Coward's earliest stage lyric, "Peter Pan", from the revue Tails Up!? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bessie Jones (Welsh singer). You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
