First off, I just want to say sorry if this is not a appropiate place but I have been wondering. Wikipedia legit hosts everything from list of Intel processors to Intel Brand CPU List - Xeon Series CPU List - Whatever architecture based Xeon CPU list all in sepearte pages with legit price listings but when it comes to some sensor list. It becomes "advertisement catalogue unencyclopedic" even though it still uses "primary secondary reviews".
I just want to know how come there are such giant double standards or how some random people can come and happily delete peoples hard work when it comes to "saving kilobytes of web space" or just some rules or whatever they believe and simply making fun of wall of text I wont read it or simply idc I won't respond to arguments etc. Is there really a way to fix this? 78.163.105.147 ( talk) 13:23, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

The Core Contest—Wikipedia's most exciting contest—will take place this year from April 15 to May 31. The goal: to improve vital or other core articles, with a focus on those in the worst state of disrepair. Editing can be done individually, but in the past groups have also successfully competed. There is £300 of prize money divided among editors who provide the "best additive encyclopedic value". Signups are open now. Cheers from the judges, Femke, Casliber, Aza24.
If you wish to start or stop receiving news about The Core Contest, please add or remove yourself from the delivery list.
(I think I don't have to link to the article.) You called me a hardliner in the discussion, and yes I am: a hardliner for compromise. It was suggested almost 10 years ago. I am also a hardliner for respectful behavior. As I don't want to blow up the discussion:
The MoS of the English Wikipedia (different from the Italian and the German) excludes much of a person's life data from the lead, just requesting years of birth and death. The MoS seems to rely on an infobox for the details: days, months, places, age at death. Four lines, and one for why we have an article on the subject (be it by occupation, or by a list of works) is all I want in a biography, but also no less. When that compromise was installed for Beethoven (by the arb who had written the infoboxes arbcase), I hoped it would end the war conflict. How many more RfCs will we need? ... every one not only taking our time, but also deteriorating editor relationa. - I missed the last two for Mozart, intentionally so, but now hope once more it will be last one. --

Hi Johnbod, the problem is not that "Gothique classique" is a french word. The problem is that the French phasing distinguishes four phases, whereas the terms Early-, High- and Late Gothic divide the style in three phases only. Also the criteria used by French scholars differ from the criteria used by scholars from abroad. Therefore attempts to translate the french terms into Early-, High- or Late Gothic create chaos.-- Ulamm ( talk) 18:51, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
Dear Johnbod, I agree entirely with what you say above. This war over the periods is getting a bit tiresome. Since this is the English-language Wikipedia, I think we should give priority to the most common English terms for the periods, with approximate dates. We could also mention the French periods that correspond to them, with those dates. A bit long and redundant but it might settle the edit war. What do you think? SiefkinDR ( talk) 13:08, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi Johnbod. Thank you for all your stellar recent work on Florentine Renaissance artists! I take it you must have a fair bit of literature on the Pollaiuolo brothers to hand at the moment. How do they refer to the painting we have at the article title The Archangel Raphael and Tobias? I'm wondering whether the best thing to call the article is The Archangel Raphael and Tobias (Pollaiuolo) or Tobias and the Angel (Pollaiuolo); the current article title I think should be a redirect to Tobias and the Angel.

Taken by this image I found today, I thought maybe I might add a section about Dürer to the artistic canons article. For my sins, I don't know much about the northern European renaissance so thought best to research further. I see that you were a major contributor to the
Albrecht Dürer article, so I would welcome your advice. If I have understood correctly from the Four books section of the article, he seems to have rejected the idea of an idealistic archetype – that it should guide but not rule. (I added a quotation from CoomaraswamyEdit at
Body proportions#Measurements a while back, which expresses this idea rather well.) If you agree with that assessment, then I'll drop it but if you think there may be something more, then
Talk:Artistic canons of body proportions#Albrecht Dürer: to be added? would be a better place to discuss. Or indeed you might decide that it would be quicker to write it than explain it!

Hi John, wondering if you could help with something. I'm trying to take a dedicated crack at rewriting the arts article (see User:Aza24/The arts although its very rough and not representative at the moment), and moving it away from being simply an outline summarizing different art forms.
It seems like most reference works give "the arts" as always being visual, literary, performing etc., while "art" is usually just visual, but sometimes all of them. I feel like I'm beginning to explain this properly in my definition section. However, I'm looking at the art and Classificatory disputes about art articles, and they seem to discuss all of the arts quite a bit. Is there a way to avoid not treading into their territory?

I don't want to make a big deal out of your driveby comment, so I won't. Expanding on what I said on that talk page, I just think that we shouldn't be bound by the lack of a future source (which, I agree, will inevitably be written); that being said, we already have a really good source, and masses of BBC, Telegraph, Times and Guardian references: easily enough to make a well-written, rock-solid article. When Truss publishes her memoirs, I'll update the article, incorporating in the new sources. If I neglect to do so, I'd be happy to let it undergo FAR. Still, there's a lot of work to still be done, and this is all hypothetical for now. Cheers, Tim O'Doherty ( talk) 19:40, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi! I noticed you reverted my edit ( [8]) to Belles Heures of Jean de France, Duc de Berry with the edit summary "rvt worse". I was adding a short description that didn't exist locally (the Wikidata description "overridden" belongs to Wikidata and isn't a short description). Did you prefer the Wikidata description over the version I added? In hindsight, I would agree that "illuminated manuscript book of hours" or "illuminated book of hours" would be a better description of the work than "illuminated Christian prayer book", although WP:SDDATES suggests that the more specific date of 1409 would be better than "early 15th-century".

First off, I just want to say sorry if this is not a appropiate place but I have been wondering. Wikipedia legit hosts everything from list of Intel processors to Intel Brand CPU List - Xeon Series CPU List - Whatever architecture based Xeon CPU list all in sepearte pages with legit price listings but when it comes to some sensor list. It becomes "advertisement catalogue unencyclopedic" even though it still uses "primary secondary reviews".
I just want to know how come there are such giant double standards or how some random people can come and happily delete peoples hard work when it comes to "saving kilobytes of web space" or just some rules or whatever they believe and simply making fun of wall of text I wont read it or simply idc I won't respond to arguments etc. Is there really a way to fix this? 78.163.105.147 ( talk) 13:23, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

The Core Contest—Wikipedia's most exciting contest—will take place this year from April 15 to May 31. The goal: to improve vital or other core articles, with a focus on those in the worst state of disrepair. Editing can be done individually, but in the past groups have also successfully competed. There is £300 of prize money divided among editors who provide the "best additive encyclopedic value". Signups are open now. Cheers from the judges, Femke, Casliber, Aza24.
If you wish to start or stop receiving news about The Core Contest, please add or remove yourself from the delivery list.
(I think I don't have to link to the article.) You called me a hardliner in the discussion, and yes I am: a hardliner for compromise. It was suggested almost 10 years ago. I am also a hardliner for respectful behavior. As I don't want to blow up the discussion:
The MoS of the English Wikipedia (different from the Italian and the German) excludes much of a person's life data from the lead, just requesting years of birth and death. The MoS seems to rely on an infobox for the details: days, months, places, age at death. Four lines, and one for why we have an article on the subject (be it by occupation, or by a list of works) is all I want in a biography, but also no less. When that compromise was installed for Beethoven (by the arb who had written the infoboxes arbcase), I hoped it would end the war conflict. How many more RfCs will we need? ... every one not only taking our time, but also deteriorating editor relationa. - I missed the last two for Mozart, intentionally so, but now hope once more it will be last one. --

Hi Johnbod, the problem is not that "Gothique classique" is a french word. The problem is that the French phasing distinguishes four phases, whereas the terms Early-, High- and Late Gothic divide the style in three phases only. Also the criteria used by French scholars differ from the criteria used by scholars from abroad. Therefore attempts to translate the french terms into Early-, High- or Late Gothic create chaos.-- Ulamm ( talk) 18:51, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
Dear Johnbod, I agree entirely with what you say above. This war over the periods is getting a bit tiresome. Since this is the English-language Wikipedia, I think we should give priority to the most common English terms for the periods, with approximate dates. We could also mention the French periods that correspond to them, with those dates. A bit long and redundant but it might settle the edit war. What do you think? SiefkinDR ( talk) 13:08, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
don’t you think High Gothic would make more sense than Classique? it’s the standard term used in English language textbooks. Or do you think there should be separate articles on Classique and High Gothic? SiefkinDR ( talk) 14:55, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi Johnbod. Thank you for all your stellar recent work on Florentine Renaissance artists! I take it you must have a fair bit of literature on the Pollaiuolo brothers to hand at the moment. How do they refer to the painting we have at the article title The Archangel Raphael and Tobias? I'm wondering whether the best thing to call the article is The Archangel Raphael and Tobias (Pollaiuolo) or Tobias and the Angel (Pollaiuolo); the current article title I think should be a redirect to Tobias and the Angel. I'd especially like to know what Alison Wright's monograph calls the painting. All the best, Ham II ( talk) 11:58, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
If by "POV" you mean that I regularly argue that Wikipedia should depend far less on non-specialist sources like journalists then I suppose guilty as charged. But when a statement about the existence of a secular political cult is being sourced to a complete non-expert for one and a man with a long and documented history of lying about Iran specifically on the other I'd say that it's not a violation of WP:NPOV to say that these aren't WP:RS for this wild claim. I've started a discussion at talk. I didn't want my slight annoyance over your edit summary to be an issue at article talk so I thought it'd be appropriate to ping you here.

Hello. I believe my edits were genuinely improving Wikipedia. I have an account, do you want me to log in and make the edits? It seems users love to revert my edits when I’m not logged in. 2603:9001:E01:5E62:A54C:DD0F:826C:DF69 ( talk) 03:36, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
I see an attempt at pretty overt nastiness in these edits. [6] [7] Not just that I'm doing this or that wrong but straight up "I'm gonna start messing with you"-shit.
I invited you to comment on my talkpage regarding the first comment. I'm offering it again in an attempt to de-escalate whatever it is you think is going on. Peter Isotalo 17:53, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
Did you know that Wagner was rather keen (later in life) to avoid the term "Opera" for his creations? "Handlung" (action), "Bühnenfestspiel" (stage festival play), "Bühnenweihfestspiel". "compositions" is nicely neutral ;) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:44, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
Taken by this image I found today, I thought maybe I might add a section about Dürer to the artistic canons article. For my sins, I don't know much about the northern European renaissance so thought best to research further. I see that you were a major contributor to the
Albrecht Dürer article, so I would welcome your advice. If I have understood correctly from the Four books section of the article, he seems to have rejected the idea of an idealistic archetype – that it should guide but not rule. (I added a quotation from CoomaraswamyEdit at
Body proportions#Measurements a while back, which expresses this idea rather well.) If you agree with that assessment, then I'll drop it but if you think there may be something more, then
Talk:Artistic canons of body proportions#Albrecht Dürer: to be added? would be a better place to discuss. Or indeed you might decide that it would be quicker to write it than explain it!

Hi John, wondering if you could help with something. I'm trying to take a dedicated crack at rewriting the arts article (see User:Aza24/The arts although its very rough and not representative at the moment), and moving it away from being simply an outline summarizing different art forms.
It seems like most reference works give "the arts" as always being visual, literary, performing etc., while "art" is usually just visual, but sometimes all of them. I feel like I'm beginning to explain this properly in my definition section. However, I'm looking at the art and Classificatory disputes about art articles, and they seem to discuss all of the arts quite a bit. Is there a way to avoid not treading into their territory?

Category:German chronicles has been nominated for renaming. A discussion is taking place to decide whether this proposal complies with the categorization guidelines. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the categories for discussion page. Thank you.

There is a new requested move discussion in progress for the Charles III article. Since you participated in the previous discussion, I thought you might like to know about this one. Cheers. Rreagan007 ( talk) 06:51, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
On 28 July 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Coronation of the Virgin (Pollaiuolo), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the six saints in the Coronation of the Virgin (pictured) by Piero del Pollaiuolo are "poised between ecstasy and migraine"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Coronation of the Virgin (Pollaiuolo). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Coronation of the Virgin (Pollaiuolo)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Since you recently participated in the Charles III requested move discussion, I thought you might like to know that there are two other discussions currently going on about other British monarch article titles here and here. Cheers. Rreagan007 ( talk) 22:27, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

I don't want to make a big deal out of your driveby comment, so I won't. Expanding on what I said on that talk page, I just think that we shouldn't be bound by the lack of a future source (which, I agree, will inevitably be written); that being said, we already have a really good source, and masses of BBC, Telegraph, Times and Guardian references: easily enough to make a well-written, rock-solid article. When Truss publishes her memoirs, I'll update the article, incorporating in the new sources. If I neglect to do so, I'd be happy to let it undergo FAR. Still, there's a lot of work to still be done, and this is all hypothetical for now. Cheers, Tim O'Doherty ( talk) 19:40, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi! I noticed you reverted my edit ( [8]) to Belles Heures of Jean de France, Duc de Berry with the edit summary "rvt worse". I was adding a short description that didn't exist locally (the Wikidata description "overridden" belongs to Wikidata and isn't a short description). Did you prefer the Wikidata description over the version I added? In hindsight, I would agree that "illuminated manuscript book of hours" or "illuminated book of hours" would be a better description of the work than "illuminated Christian prayer book", although WP:SDDATES suggests that the more specific date of 1409 would be better than "early 15th-century". Thank you! Liu1126 ( talk) 20:07, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
