Q: John, is it possible to have the warnings removed from the "Synthetic phonics" page. I have cleaned it up, added references and added three countries for the "global outlook", so it should meet standards now. I will, however, add New Zealand and Canada very soon. I am just concerned that searchers will not accept this page as credible even though I am confident that it is factual.
A: There is a Wikilink to the essay giving advice about cleanup tags is at the top of Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup. That essay discusses several aspects of the practice of tagging pages for problems, constructive tagging, removing tags, disputes and over-tagging. One of my pet peeves is "drive-by tagging." "Adding and removing tags for non-obvious problems without discussion is not helpful. It can be disruptive and is derided as "drive-by tagging" when done by editors who are not involved in the article's development." I would include adding or removing tags without making an entry on the talk page.
By my definition the tags on Synthetic phonics are "drive-by" tags. However, removing them without comment is "drive-by" taggging also.
If you have made a good faith effort to fix the problems described in the cleanup tags and briefly state your reasoning on the talk page, it may not be the end of the conversation. But, it is a good beginning! — John Harvey, Wizened Web Wizard Wannabe, Talk to me! 15:29, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello! I noticed this edit, where you replaced a direct quote with an interpretation. This is covered by our policy regarding no original research, which states that Wikipedia editors should not attempt to make an interpretation that is not directly supported by reliable sources. For example, your replacement of the term "calls for" with "appears to recommend" alters the meaning of the phrase: "appears to recommend" is a personal interpretation that additionally softens the impact of the phrase. The source used in this case is a primary source, which are particularly susceptible to this kind of problem. It would be best if the claims made in this paragraph were attributed to a reliable secondary source, so that there is no question of personal interpretation.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Draft:Best Evidence Encyclopedia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://bestevidence.org/aboutBEE.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
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 "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 deleted 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. — Diannaa ( talk) 13:12, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because
I'm prepared in principle to restore as a draft, but you need to make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources, otherwise you'll be wasting your time. You must also reply to the COI request above. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:07, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi, John. I'm John too, and I decided when I was about 12 that I'd never name my son that. I was quite tired of looking to see who wasn't talking to me by that time. Ironically my only son is 8 now, and 52 years after I turned 12, John isn't nearly as common. Anyway....I've never used a custom signature and frankly fail to see any purpose for them, but if I recall correctly, one of the restrictions is it can't be disruptive or confusing. As we have an apparantly retired, but once quite active editor John, I'd think your signature would be considered minimally confusing, if not disruptive. You may wish to modify your signature somehow, such as adding an initial. Thanks, and happy editing. John from Idegon ( talk) 04:47, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello. You sort of reverted my edit to phonics, so I thought I would ask for clarification. I will write some more on the talk page, and I would be grateful for responses. I see "phonics" as a rather curious business: one meaning is something like the mapping from written symbols to speech, which sounds like linguistics, but in practice evidence suggests that the field of linguistics really does not talk about "phonics". The second meaning is from the field of education, meaning an approach to teaching (English) reading involving systematic teaching of how spoken words are built of consonants and vowels, and so on, as opposed to the other "method" of teaching called "whole language" or "look and say", which eschews any sort of systematic explanation in the belief (not obviously supported by evidence) that children do not need such explanation. This is all very vague, so in some sense you could say that "phonics" could be used to teach the reading of any language, if there is any element of systematic explanation. So I do not see any principled way to limit this to languages "using an alphabet". Why not a language with a syllabic writing system such as Japanese, or even a non-phonological writing such as Chinese, insofar as there are systematic pronunciation hints built into many characters. At the same time, in practice, 99.99% of references to "phonics" are about teaching English. Your (restored?) cite for Russian merely says that the policy is to spend time explaining how Russian words are built from consonants and vowels, with nothing specifically resembling "phonics". The Arabic text is a proposal for helping Arabic speakers with learning difficulties to "decode"(?) the Arabic alphabet, and the authors merely assert that "phonics" could help, but disarmingly say that their proposal needs testing in the field. Both references are rather tenuous, it seems to me. Imaginatorium ( talk) 18:57, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Draft:Best Evidence Encyclopedia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://bestevidence.org/aboutBEE.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
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 "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 deleted 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. — Diannaa ( talk) 13:12, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because
I'm prepared in principle to restore as a draft, but you need to make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources, otherwise you'll be wasting your time. You must also reply to the COI request above. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:07, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
As I mentioned, I agree with your decision, so I will add relevant information to other articles. I have no COI relationships with any of these organizations or, for that matter, any educational organization. John ( talk)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Phonics, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Phonogram ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi, John. I'm John too, and I decided when I was about 12 that I'd never name my son that. I was quite tired of looking to see who wasn't talking to me by that time. Ironically my only son is 8 now, and 52 years after I turned 12, John isn't nearly as common. Anyway....I've never used a custom signature and frankly fail to see any purpose for them, but if I recall correctly, one of the restrictions is it can't be disruptive or confusing. As we have an apparantly retired, but once quite active editor John, I'd think your signature would be considered minimally confusing, if not disruptive. You may wish to modify your signature somehow, such as adding an initial. Thanks, and happy editing. John from Idegon ( talk) 04:47, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from
Reading education in the United States into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere,
Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an
edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and
linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{
copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also.

Hello. You sort of reverted my edit to phonics, so I thought I would ask for clarification. I will write some more on the talk page, and I would be grateful for responses. I see "phonics" as a rather curious business: one meaning is something like the mapping from written symbols to speech, which sounds like linguistics, but in practice evidence suggests that the field of linguistics really does not talk about "phonics". The second meaning is from the field of education, meaning an approach to teaching (English) reading involving systematic teaching of how spoken words are built of consonants and vowels, and so on, as opposed to the other "method" of teaching called "whole language" or "look and say", which eschews any sort of systematic explanation in the belief (not obviously supported by evidence) that children do not need such explanation. This is all very vague, so in some sense you could say that "phonics" could be used to teach the reading of any language, if there is any element of systematic explanation. So I do not see any principled way to limit this to languages "using an alphabet". Why not a language with a syllabic writing system such as Japanese, or even a non-phonological writing such as Chinese, insofar as there are systematic pronunciation hints built into many characters. At the same time, in practice, 99.99% of references to "phonics" are about teaching English. Your (restored?) cite for Russian merely says that the policy is to spend time explaining how Russian words are built from consonants and vowels, with nothing specifically resembling "phonics". The Arabic text is a proposal for helping Arabic speakers with learning difficulties to "decode"(?) the Arabic alphabet, and the authors merely assert that "phonics" could help, but disarmingly say that their proposal needs testing in the field. Both references are rather tenuous, it seems to me. Imaginatorium ( talk) 18:57, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
Thanks again. As you can see, I have included analytic phonics in /info/en/?search=Phonics#Analytic_phonics_and_analogy_phonics. You might also want to look at the article on Reading that contains material on phonics. John NH ( talk) 00:00, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
