Hello, Thanks for improving the open encyclopedia article, but this edit went wrong. Could you fix it, as you intended your edit? -- Avoinlähde ( talk) 09:36, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello!
Thank you for your infobox edit. I see you returned Harvard Divinity, MIT, and UCSC to Paul Lee's infobox... I am wondering if I made a mistake then in changing Lee's "short description" to American philosopher, whereas a previous editor set him as American professor? He holds his PhD in Philosophy from Harvard Divinity School and taught at MIT for three years post-doc and UCSC for seven years on tenure track before he was denied tenure... I made the change to him as Philosopher because that seemed more apt to grab the parts of his bio that were prior to his professorship, where he gained some repute as a TA to Tillich in the psychedelic review events at that took place at Harvard, and then after he is denied tenure by UCSC, his nonprofit activism in environmental policy and homelessness advocacy for the rest of his career, as well as now his spot as chair for the Romero Institute.
Sorry for long windedness, thanks again, Garrett.stephens ( talk) 04:18, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
|workplaces=
to philosopher, where it is |institutions=
(or something like that - it's hard to remember all the variations). Anyway, I have no knowledge of this person or how best to classify him. Philosopher seems fine to me for the short description. As far as which infobox to use, it doesn't matter unless there are some fields in one that are important to use that are not available in the other. Right now, it is only using fields that exists in both (although by a slightly different name). There are some fields in the philosopher infobox like |school_tradition=
that are unique to philosophers, so if you wanted to use one of those fields you would need to use that infobox.

Hello, sorry to bother you again--for the Marcel Aymé article I have a number of citations that lead to works that are searchable and checkout-able on the Internet Archive. For the citations I tried to put in links that led to the exact page of the reference on the IA, and this seemed to work initially, but now it just links to the book itself, usually just the front cover (this is whether I'm logged in or not at IA). I used the automatic citation feature for these, would it be better to do it, I guess, manually? (Does any of this make any sense?) Hérisson Ford ( talk) 01:42, 8 April 2022 (UTC)Hérisson Ford
Hello, MB:
Since you are much more active on Wikipedia than I, let me pose a question that I have not been able to get answered.
If a company changes their name, i.e. Callaway Gardens is now Callaway Resort & Gardens, should the wikipedia article
be moved to the new name, or just stated in the original article and a redirect created for the new name? Ditto for
Gulf Coast Toyota Distributors --> Gulf Coast Toyota. Thanks.

Hi! I'm Ed6767, the original creator of RedWarn, now one of the most popular tools on the English Wikipedia that's been used by over 1,000 Wikimedians to make over 300,000 edits since mid-2020 that's been praised for its user friendliness and ease of use, but criticised for its limited functionality. I'm leaving this message as I think it may be of interest here - I left the RedWarn project in November to develop Teyora, my successor to RedWarn (alongside Chlod's UltraViolet). It's a new in development web app that uses some of the latest web technologies to create a highly extendable all in one editing tool with a focus on administration, counter vandalism and general patrolling - not to mention, it'll work on every Wikimedia project without any prior configuration and can be used by any user with at least auto-confirmed rights*. Now, I'm ready to give the Wikimedia community a first look at what I've been doing over the past six months and what to expect going forward.
You can check out the 20 minute first look at the in development version on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzlpnzXdLP4.
There's lots more to expect too! Why not read the full details page at meta:Teyora and leave any feedback, comments or wishes at meta:Talk:Teyora (please leave any correspondence there to keep discussion centralised). If you're interested, you can leave your signature

Hi MB, I just received the following from Sphilbrick:
Recent edit reversion In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.
I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.
I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick (Talk) 13:23, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

Hey there (pun intended), there is need for an architectural term article on Hay hood, currently a redlink. I haven't done the general internet search to identify good sources with historical sweep perspective. [ This short page at state of PA] is just the first hit i encounter where the term is defined. I wonder if its invention can be isolated. There is a photo in the barn article. There are now just four inbound links that I recently added, and there is Category:Barns with hay hoods with just three members. However a hay hood is a distinctive and interesting architectural feature, and I know I have seen many NRHP-listed barns with at least one. The term should be used in some hundreds of articles. I suppose they are not distributed evenly as percentage of barns that exist in each U.S. state, say, because of climate and agriculture differing. I think it was you who wrote very intelligently (where? in article about some other type of barn? some kind of dairy barn in the Midwest?) about hay baling (which protects hay even when bale is outside) eventually replacing use of most barns that had stored loose hay?
Almost a year ago I started Draft:Hay hood and collected a few photos including from Canada, Germany, and Nederland. I would be very happy if you chose to take on the task of creating a decent article on this term. Either developing from that draft or creating anew. I would contribute some effort too, like perhaps to browse through all the Category:Barns on the National Register of Historic Places to identify many more examples. And to do internet searching. Either way, again, i'm glad you're on board and hope you are well. -- Doncram ( talk) 05:06, 12 April 2022 (UTC) P.S. By the way I've been editing less frequently than i did for a long time, for reasons of bad internet access and other life stuff.

Another architectural term: catslide gable, which i've seen plenty of, but never gad a term for. Comes up at Draft:Henry K. and Mary E. Shaffer House, an "English-Norman" style house. Usage by History Colorado puts the term in air-quotes; it seems informal and maybe there is a different formal term. Looks related to many porte-cocheres, too, to me.

I was genuily surprised when I saw you revert my with the wording: "unexplained/not discussed". Because i did EXPLAIN my edit right in the edit summary and according to BOLD I don't have to discuss my edits on the talk page every time I make them. African Americans, just like White Americans or Asian Americans are just racial-demographic groups in the USA. But nowhere are there any reliable sources that tread all these groups of American people as "ethnic groups" or "nationality" in a similar way to "Chinese", "Germans" or "Russians".

Hello MB,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.
Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.
In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 807 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 855 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.
This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.
If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}}
on their talk page.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself
here.

Your message has gone out to the 836 users on the mailing list. Some of them might be admins or former admins who added themselves or were already reviewers before the passed RFA, while others may have had their rights rescinded, or are simply just curious users; removal from the list is not automatic, it has to be done manually by someone who is sufficiently interested in NPP coordination tasks. Naturally, I no longer do it.
Respecting your wishes, I haven't changed it back, but the backlog (according to the graph) has grown in just 9 weeks, not six months, and that level has not been seen since I created the user right for qualified reviewers and the work stabilised in the following months to a backlog of only 700 - so it can be done. If you are really interested, an article in The Signpost on the background is here. (I initiated The Marshall Plan, a play on the name of a post WWII rebuilding scheme for Europe which I remember well as a young child). I worked intensively with WMF developer Marshal Miller whose collaboration with the community was at an unprecedented and unusually high level for the WMF.

I think it was you who wrote very intelligently (where? in article about some other type of barn? some kind of dairy barn in the Midwest?) about hay baling (which protects hay even when bale is outside) eventually replacing use of most barns that had stored loose hay?
Almost a year ago I started Draft:Hay hood and collected a few photos including from Canada, Germany, and Nederland. I would be very happy if you chose to take on the task of creating a decent article on this term. Either developing from that draft or creating anew. I would contribute some effort too, like perhaps to browse through all the Category:Barns on the National Register of Historic Places to identify many more examples. And to do internet searching. Either way, again, i'm glad you're on board and hope you are well. -- Doncram ( talk) 05:06, 12 April 2022 (UTC) P.S. By the way I've been editing less frequently than i did for a long time, for reasons of bad internet access and other life stuff.
Thank you for your edits to the Red-Haired Shanks article. Currently a user proposed it is an article for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Red-Haired_Shanks. Feel free to make your opinion known. -- Plumber ( talk) 20:42, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
On 2 May 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Chinese Cultural Center, Phoenix, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Phoenix's Chinese Cultural Center (pictured) was remodeled into an ordinary office building over the objections of preservationists and community groups? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Chinese Cultural Center, Phoenix. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Chinese Cultural Center, Phoenix), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

Hey. Just giving you this as a courtesy message, as I'm not sure if you saw the result at WP:CR before the bot archived it. After reviewing the discussion, after reading the IP closer's reply, I believe I identified a consensus. Sideswipe9th ( talk) 14:13, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
Hey, do you think you can do some copy-edits on the Norfolk and Western 611 page? I think it need some of its grammar and punctuation corrected. Trains13 ( talk) 23:56, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
Another architectural term: catslide gable, which i've seen plenty of, but never gad a term for. Comes up at Draft:Henry K. and Mary E. Shaffer House, an "English-Norman" style house. Usage by History Colorado puts the term in air-quotes; it seems informal and maybe there is a different formal term. Looks related to many porte-cocheres, too, to me.

I was genuily surprised when I saw you revert my with the wording: "unexplained/not discussed". Because i did EXPLAIN my edit right in the edit summary and according to BOLD I don't have to discuss my edits on the talk page every time I make them. African Americans, just like White Americans or Asian Americans are just racial-demographic groups in the USA. But nowhere are there any reliable sources that tread all these groups of American people as "ethnic groups" or "nationality" in a similar way to "Chinese", "Germans" or "Russians".

I appreciate you looking in on this. Unfortunately I am not a London based arty type so this has been a bit of a copy edit thing. I started on it because the guy (briefly) went to the same school as I did, some time after me. Many thanks. Ed1964 ( talk) 23:18, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi. Are you actually intending publishing this any time soon? If so, may I offer some very minor suggestions for the text? BTW, I am also a MMS if you need anything doing. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 01:12, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
Hello MB,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.
Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.
In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 807 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 855 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.
This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.
If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}}
on their talk page.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself
here.

Your message has gone out to the 836 users on the mailing list. Some of them might be admins or former admins who added themselves or were already reviewers before the passed RFA, while others may have had their rights rescinded, or are simply just curious users; removal from the list is not automatic, it has to be done manually by someone who is sufficiently interested in NPP coordination tasks. Naturally, I no longer do it.
Respecting your wishes, I haven't changed it back, but the backlog (according to the graph) has grown in just 9 weeks, not six months, and that level has not been seen since I created the user right for qualified reviewers and the work stabilised in the following months to a backlog of only 700 - so it can be done. If you are really interested, an article in The Signpost on the background is here. (I initiated The Marshall Plan, a play on the name of a post WWII rebuilding scheme for Europe which I remember well as a young child). I worked intensively with WMF developer Marshal Miller whose collaboration with the community was at an unprecedented and unusually high level for the WMF.

Hi! Could you please explain why you reverted the Communications Engineering page? I'm fairly new on Wikipedia so I make mistakes, but I would like to not repeat them so a motivation why my edit was reverted would be appreciated. SakurabaJun ( talk) 03:58, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Is there some reason under which Mitter curtain is marked for copy editing? What's wrong with the wording in the article: is it not suitable for Wikipedia? Can you please clarify? Angela Kate Maureen Pears 10:06, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing out that Jewish mysticism is certainly not a major religion. I appreciate the distinction. Since your reversion also restored links to Buddhism and Taoism, does that mean that neither of those is a major religion? Eddie Blick ( talk) 20:35, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
Hello. Do you know if there is a definition of "hotel developer" for use in the hotel infobox ? In the Hotel Saratoga article, an editor insist on putting Coral Capital as developer, which is not true. -- Beardo ( talk) 07:38, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
