My editing
tips.
I suspect the small Volcán Telica Rota Natural Reserve article was LLM-generated and would be interested to hear what you think; I'm sure you've got a keener eye for it.
Perhaps more unusual was today's attempt to win an argument by posting four versions of a "Discussion on Demography and Demographics" that I strongly suspect was LLM-generated on Talk:Rochdale plus a couple more copies on another editor's talk. It's in a very formal style for that editor, and has a reference to an encyclopedia that I can't locate. I'm not asking for you to get involved – there are several editors there – but maybe you'll find it interesting and/or worthy of Wikipedia talk:Using neural network language models on Wikipedia/List of uses of ChatGPT at Wikipedia.

Hello, Mathglot. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Fundamental laws of the Kingdom of France".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 22:37, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I believe you are acting in a disruptive way by trying to push your own idea about the actuaria-related terminology. The main problem is you don't appear to read any of the sources provided to you, either in the article or on the talkpage. Rather, you constantly add new sources and interpret them as you see fit, even when it's obvious that they don't agree with you. You also seem to simply ignore already-provided arguments, in other words WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT.

Hey!
New topic (just so we are not mixing with the others) :)
So, I want to start article on Lusatian Serbs (or Sorbs) in the early Middle Ages however, I see that on this article, there is a part that talks about this time particularly with the main article that has nothing to do with what I am about to write which is connected to this article.
Now, I need some assistance in regards to how to sort this and which way will be proper way of linking these historic articles.
Maybe @ Sadko can help as well.

and so on at the top level; with no text, *just* the headers. In each H2 (top-level) section, start to break it down with some H3 subsection headers; this will define your thinking about how to organize the article. Check if there are any
WP:TERTIARY sources that cover this topic, like Encyclopedia Britannica, or whatever the major Serbian encyclopedia is (see
this list); if you find a good article on the topic, you can imitate their section organization if it seems like a good one, or you can get an idea how subtopics might be arranged in your draft, just based on how much space the encyclopedia devotes to each subtopic, even if they don't use subheaders at all. I will get back to you later today, but I advise you not to translate anything just yet (especially not the lead). Please add your proposed section organization to your sandbox.Боки, Thanks, that gives us a starting point. As you will probably get better feedback about this question elsewhere, I've replied to you at the WikiProject. Thanks, Mathglot ( talk) 23:15, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi,
Another question (sorry to bother you but we seem to have a really good "help sections" on here so I figured I will ask you)
So, I've been working on expanding English version of (yet another) acting legend that has passed away, Nebojša Glogovac. I have been working on it whenever I have a chance basically translating Serbian article (that has been voted as featured article) and I have received some feedback back in October 2022 but I have never received clear response on my questions after initially I was advised what I need to do.
Can you, please, look into this article (and talk page) whenever you have a chance and let me know if this was just one of those "cops that caught me passing through red light" examples that you and I talked earlier or is this something that I need to fix for real?
I am thinking of finishing this article and see if English community is going to vote it as good article since it is pretty good in Serbian with lots of references and lots of info about Nebojša Glogovac.
Thanks(again) for your assistance.

Hi, in Investigating judge (France) you use multiple instances of {{sfn|Encyclopædia Britannica|2002}} however nowhere do you define the source. This places the article into Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors. If you could fix this that would be great. There is guidance at Category:Harv and Sfn template errors#Resolving errors.

User:Elinruby/sandbox contains two of many section of a translated article on the black market in France in World War II. Amazingly, the original has a LOT of references, although because of the intricate way they are set up I will need to either move them one by one or translate the entire article. Which I am not against, but will take time. Elinruby ( talk) 16:46, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

Most recently for excellent work with the idiosyncratic referencing impeding the translation of Black market in wartime France, but also for teaching me the excerpt template, and unbelievably excellent follow-though with the many spinoffs of Operation Car Wash and the civil law legal system derived from the Napoleonic Code, not to mention keeping the creation of Liberation of France organized, on track and within scope |

This is problematic in two ways. First, that thread was never an RfC. Perhaps you meant to comment in the Carroll thread. And your comment will cause the thread to be retained quite a bit longer that it would be otherwise. Suggest you remove. ― Mandruss ☎ 20:25, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi! I was sad to add the UPE tag to Edward Forman, but it came from an Upwork job that was very clearly to edit that article. I was actually a bit upset to see it, given the work that people like you did to help with the article and how it was quite negative about that help. But the only editor involed was Sabih omar - it had nothing to do with your work on the article, which not only involved good edits, but was very supportive of a new editor. - Bilby ( talk) 12:36, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi Mathglot, me and Lynn both appreciate your work on the article. Lynn had a draft created, but she misunderstood the process of creating a Wikipedia article and was confused as to how to communicate that to you. When she asked for my help in Upwork, I agreed to modify her draft to make it suitable for Wikipedia. But I also misunderstood the etiquette, rules and consequences of paid edit in Wikipedia and just started replacing the article with my version. Now that we have full disclosure, I have started adding suggestions to improve/enhance the article in the talk page. Since you invested a lot of time and effort on this article, it would be only appropriate that you review my suggestions and update the article as you see fit. I would appreciate that a lot.

I let it do its reference translation thing on something I have going in a sandbox where I am valiantly trying to master the grouped sfn stuff that seems to be in vogue on French wikipedia these days. It did indeed save me from manually fixing dozens of reference errors I had going on at the time, but I have suggestions in the french->english area for how to make it cooler:
Since I know you like links: User:Elinruby/National pastime: it's for the Maquis Lecoz redlink in the black market article, but bonus, is also itself a good article over there, plus a good case study for my project to reduce the oversimplification of World War II narratives. Possibly more than DUE for English, but there is a lot of that going on in my life right now. A couple of questions while we are here -- if you don't know the answers or can't easily find them, no worries, I can always try the help desk or dig/experiment some more.
As always, for all you do, thank you. I keep finding your name reassuringly in the history of various French civil law article. Elinruby ( talk) 22:43, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
|plume=oui
affixes the pen icon, and it's to distinguish between a general source and a "Further reading"-type source. Fr-wiki's verifiability and sourcing is much weaker than ours, and not only do they not insist on inline citations with page numbers and let you just dump the name of a book source in the "Bibliographie", they also don't generally support a "Further reading" section, so that sources that would go in "Further reading" in en-wiki, just get dumped into the "Bibliographie", along with all the sources they actually *did* use to write the article with. So, how do you tell which ones are actual sources that back the content (supposedly), and which ones are just random, other cool stuff to read for viwers? Voilà—the plume icon identifies the books that are sources. So, we don't have to keep them in our articles, but you can use them to push off all the books that *don't* have a plume to our "Further reading" section. For an example of this in use, see
fr:Épave_de_Mahdia#Bibliographie.|last=
|first=

Hello, Mathglot. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Jurisdictional dualism in France".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. ✗ plicit 14:06, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
Hello Mathglot. May i suggest you revisit your reversion. You say Undid revision 1176837055 by LindsayH (talk) Unexplained removal of sourced content
, but i removed no information merely, as my summary clearly stated, moved some to a better location in the article. We now have, again, an article with two sentences about the variety of cheeses in the middle of a section about its history instead of in the section about the variety of cheeses. Please undo your edit, thanks. Happy days, ~

Based on your comments at Hulk576's Talk page, I decided to take a look at the Jehovah's Witnesses article on the Simple English Wikipedia. Somewhat neglected, the article had fallen victim to a fairly non-neutral treatment. I've attempted a copyedit of that article. I suspect a backlash. Are there different admins on the other Wiki if necessary?-- Jeffro77 ( talk) 09:01, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi Mathglot. There a bug with reflib in Glossary of French criminal law, and I can't work out what's wrong. If you look in the Works cited section one of the entries is "Template:Reflib/French criminal law". It comes between "Elliott, Catherine (2001)" and "Garé, Thierry; Ginestet, Catherine (September 2022)", so it's should be the output from "Elliott-Jeanpierre-Vernon-2006". I've checked Template:Reflib/French criminal law and the setup in the article and can't see anything wrong, but the cite won't display correctly. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆ transmissions∆ ° co-ords° 14:18, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
ActivelyDisinterested, Okay, I found something: a duplicate sfn whitelist param (dropped here). That seems to be in the same area you pinpointed above; so did that fix it? The problem for me is, I don't know what symptom you noticed, so I can't tell if it's gone away now. Also, what the heck is a flaff? M-W thinks it's "a flutter" or "gust", but if so, I still don't get it in the context of the edit summary. Curious minds want to know... Mathglot ( talk) 18:39, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
As a result of this discussion, I've made a change to Template:Reflib, which now detects duplicate parameters, and generates an error message instead of passing them through to the article. This will stop future problems in the case where a user inadvertently includes the same section name twice in one transclusion of the template. Of course, this wouldn't have stopped the case you discovered with two separate transclusions, but it's a start.
I've also upgraded the template doc to specifically address this issue; please have a look at the second paragraph at {{ Reflib#Technical notes}}, and feel free to edit it if it needs further clarification. I haven't looked at reproducing the bug using duplicate section transclusion yet, and I may not get to it right away; the upgrades to the template should prevent most future problem cases, and the /doc upgrade should provide the user with an explanation of the more tricky, undetectable case, as well as the solution for it. This whole discussion and investigation has resulted in the template (and /doc) becoming more robust, and that's a win. Thanks once again. Mathglot ( talk) 08:48, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello Mathglot,
I’m reaching out as part of a Cornell University academic study investigating the potential for user-facing tools to help improve discussion quality within Wikipedia discussion spaces (such as talk pages, noticeboards, etc.). We chose to reach out to you because you have been highly active on various discussion pages.
The study centers around a prototype tool, ConvoWizard, which is designed to warn Wikipedia editors when a discussion they are replying to is getting tense and at risk of derailing into personal attacks or incivility. More information about ConvoWizard and the study can be found at our research project page on meta-wiki.
If this sounds like it might be interesting to you, you can use this link to sign up and install ConvoWizard. Of course, if you are not interested, feel free to ignore this message.
If you have any questions or thoughts about the study, our team is happy to discuss! You may direct such comments to me or to my collaborator, Cristian_at_CornellNLP.
Thank you for your consideration.

Hi Mathglot, a few years ago you suggested that instead of a redirect for 'gay lifestyle' and 'homosexual lifestyle', it might be preferable to create an article on this term. I was wondering about doing so as I have quite a few sources covering the topic. I'm not sure if you still agree, so wanted to consult you first.
You wrote I have no objection to its being expanded it into an article, but I'm not sure whether that would appear to be a content fork of "Homosexual agenda". One alternative would be to explain the evolution of the term "Homosexual lifestyle", and add that as a new section to the article "Homosexual agenda". The only solution that makes no sense to me, would be to leave it as it is, pointing to LGBT culture. "Homosexual lifestyle" is a pejorative term used by those opposed to LGBT rights; it should not redirect to LGBT culture. For how the term got that way from its humble beginnings as a neutral term used in academia and elsewhere, see #History of the term, below.
If you still think this is suitable, would it be better to draft name such as article 'gay lifestyle' or 'homosexual lifestyle'? Zenomonoz ( talk) 03:12, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

I really want the early and mid sections of these articles to change, for example, in the article 2000s in fashion, the sections Early 2000s (2000-2002) are changed to Early 2000s (2000-2003) and Mid 2000s (2003-2006) to Mid 2000s (2004-2006).

Further on American Civil War books in addition to my comments on my talk page in response to your comment. You may (or perhaps may not) be aware that there is an article Bibliography of the American Civil War, which I did not call to mind when I wrote my comments. That bibliography has many sub-categories. Some are in addition to or possibly a little different from the ones in my lists. The Wikipedia page was started by Professor User:Rjensen in 2007 and has been added to by many users, including me now that I recall, over the years. Professor Jensen, long retired apparently, is still a prolific contributor to Wikipedia, including to bibliographies. There are several "main articles" for some of the topics, such as unit histories in addition to the books listed in the generic main article. The "main articles" on additional topics are also listed at the end of the Bibliography of the American Civil War article in "Bibliography subsections." As near as I can tell, all of the entries in the main article are in Chicago Manual of Style, not Wikipedia CS1 and CS2. I also see that many entries do not have ISBNs. The following categories are listed at the end of the article as well: Historiography of the American Civil War, American Civil War books, Bibliographies of the American Civil War, and there are six other "main articles" listed under that category. I did not try to check for the styles, or duplication which would be even harder to check. I would be surprised if any of these articles are in a style other than straight Chicago Manual of Style.
I can't be sure every one of my books are listed in the main bibliography article, much less in the sub articles, but certainly the main bibliography includes many additional books so I think few if any of mine are omitted. My full list is 152,574 bytes; the Wikipedia bibliography is 207,656 bytes. The six other "main articles" would only add to that. So there are definitely quite a few citations to American Civil War books available in Wikipedia articles above the number of books in my lists.
There is also a category Category:Bibliographies of wars and conflicts which may interest you if you have not seen it. I didn't know it existed until I saw that it was removed from the Bibliography of the American Civil War article for some reason. Now that American Civil War bibliography is omitted from the wars and conflicts categories, a user must to go through a couple of other categories, including Category:Bibliographies of United States military history to get to the American Civil War books bibliography if looking at categories rather than names of articles is their method of searching. I wonder whether this change may lose some searchers since they might not get past the wars and conflicts bibliography when looking for the more specific civil war books lists. That wouldn't apply to a direct search for a bibliography on some topic, of course.
The early user whom I mentioned is User:Hlj. He has a page User:Hlj/CWbibliography. This includes citations to books that he does not own. The introduction states that the list was updated through 2010 but in fact I see additions through 2018 in the edit history. I am sure this list also contains some books that I do not own. I can't be sure, of course, whether he added all of his books to the Wikipedia bibliography but I know he made additions to that page over the years. So I would not be surprised if he added them all. I am not sure whether I added all of mine over the years but I also have made a number of additions to that article over the years. I will add some that I have picked up in the past year or so in the near future if they are not on the lists already. As with the other bibliographies, the entries on Hlj's lists are in straight Chicago Manual of Style format. Interestingly, given my comment, I see an edit summary in Hlj's edit history: "add some books, restore original format (this is a personal user page and I don't appreciate other folks editing it--thanks."
So there are a number of sources for books on the topic of American Civil War, mostly in complete citation, but some missing ISBNs in the Wikipedia general Bibliography of the American Civil War. There are also more sub-categories for the books in that article than the ones I have used in my lists. As near as I can tell, none of the entries are in Wikipedia styles for citations. There may or may not be duplication in the topics.
If you go ahead with the project, these additional Wikipedia pages may not just be useful but should include everything that you or a searcher might need. I now see the additional books would create an even more massive task to avoid any unwanted duplication in a reflib (though I think some duplication might be appropriate) and perhaps more importantly to convert the citations to one of the Wikipedia styles if that is necessary or desirable - which I assume it probably is. Perhaps with these Wikipedia bibliography articles available, all of the information in a reflib is already in Wikipedia and indeed in Wikipedia articles apart from my library and Hljs. Some note about that could be left somewhere in connection with reflibs and the existence of the citation information for these books would be more widely or easily available. There would need to be the caveat that the style used in these lists is permissible but they are in straight Chicago Manual of Style format, not in a "Wikipedia style." Also, ISBNs will need to be added for some entries. They are easily found in WorldCat without needing to look at the books themselves. Donner60 ( talk) 02:04, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
The general category, which I forgot to add to the comments above, is Category:Bibliographies of wars and conflicts. Donner60 ( talk) 01:35, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

I'm running into a problem with finding sources for Russian and eastern European figures. I did some work on the articles for Pavel Blonsky and Lev Kassil. They both were influential in their times and respective fields, but there's basically zero reputable sources on them in English.
I was wondering, how would you recommend finding sources? Is there a way to ask Russian speaking editors to help flesh out these articles by translating direct from the Russian? Thanks! MunsterManicotti5092 ( talk) 22:17, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

I suspect the small Volcán Telica Rota Natural Reserve article was LLM-generated and would be interested to hear what you think; I'm sure you've got a keener eye for it.
Perhaps more unusual was today's attempt to win an argument by posting four versions of a "Discussion on Demography and Demographics" that I strongly suspect was LLM-generated on Talk:Rochdale plus a couple more copies on another editor's talk. It's in a very formal style for that editor, and has a reference to an encyclopedia that I can't locate. I'm not asking for you to get involved – there are several editors there – but maybe you'll find it interesting and/or worthy of Wikipedia talk:Using neural network language models on Wikipedia/List of uses of ChatGPT at Wikipedia.

Hello, Mathglot. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Fundamental laws of the Kingdom of France".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 22:37, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I believe you are acting in a disruptive way by trying to push your own idea about the actuaria-related terminology. The main problem is you don't appear to read any of the sources provided to you, either in the article or on the talkpage. Rather, you constantly add new sources and interpret them as you see fit, even when it's obvious that they don't agree with you. You also seem to simply ignore already-provided arguments, in other words WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT.

Hey!
New topic (just so we are not mixing with the others) :)
So, I want to start article on Lusatian Serbs (or Sorbs) in the early Middle Ages however, I see that on this article, there is a part that talks about this time particularly with the main article that has nothing to do with what I am about to write which is connected to this article.
Now, I need some assistance in regards to how to sort this and which way will be proper way of linking these historic articles.
Maybe @ Sadko can help as well.

and so on at the top level; with no text, *just* the headers. In each H2 (top-level) section, start to break it down with some H3 subsection headers; this will define your thinking about how to organize the article. Check if there are any
WP:TERTIARY sources that cover this topic, like Encyclopedia Britannica, or whatever the major Serbian encyclopedia is (see
this list); if you find a good article on the topic, you can imitate their section organization if it seems like a good one, or you can get an idea how subtopics might be arranged in your draft, just based on how much space the encyclopedia devotes to each subtopic, even if they don't use subheaders at all. I will get back to you later today, but I advise you not to translate anything just yet (especially not the lead). Please add your proposed section organization to your sandbox.Боки, Thanks, that gives us a starting point. As you will probably get better feedback about this question elsewhere, I've replied to you at the WikiProject. Thanks, Mathglot ( talk) 23:15, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi,
Another question (sorry to bother you but we seem to have a really good "help sections" on here so I figured I will ask you)
So, I've been working on expanding English version of (yet another) acting legend that has passed away, Nebojša Glogovac. I have been working on it whenever I have a chance basically translating Serbian article (that has been voted as featured article) and I have received some feedback back in October 2022 but I have never received clear response on my questions after initially I was advised what I need to do.
Can you, please, look into this article (and talk page) whenever you have a chance and let me know if this was just one of those "cops that caught me passing through red light" examples that you and I talked earlier or is this something that I need to fix for real?
I am thinking of finishing this article and see if English community is going to vote it as good article since it is pretty good in Serbian with lots of references and lots of info about Nebojša Glogovac.
Thanks(again) for your assistance.

Hi, in Investigating judge (France) you use multiple instances of {{sfn|Encyclopædia Britannica|2002}} however nowhere do you define the source.

User:Elinruby/sandbox contains two of many section of a translated article on the black market in France in World War II.

Most recently for excellent work with the idiosyncratic referencing impeding the translation of Black market in wartime France, but also for teaching me the excerpt template, and unbelievably excellent follow-though with the many spinoffs of Operation Car Wash and the civil law legal system derived from the Napoleonic Code, not to mention keeping the creation of Liberation of France organized, on track and within scope |

This is problematic in two ways. First, that thread was never an RfC. Perhaps you meant to comment in the Carroll thread. And your comment will cause the thread to be retained quite a bit longer that it would be otherwise. Suggest you remove. ― Mandruss ☎ 20:25, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi! I was sad to add the UPE tag to Edward Forman, but it came from an Upwork job that was very clearly to edit that article. I was actually a bit upset to see it, given the work that people like you did to help with the article and how it was quite negative about that help. But the only editor involed was Sabih omar - it had nothing to do with your work on the article, which not only involved good edits, but was very supportive of a new editor. - Bilby ( talk) 12:36, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi Mathglot, me and Lynn both appreciate your work on the article. Lynn had a draft created, but she misunderstood the process of creating a Wikipedia article and was confused as to how to communicate that to you. When she asked for my help in Upwork, I agreed to modify her draft to make it suitable for Wikipedia. But I also misunderstood the etiquette, rules and consequences of paid edit in Wikipedia and just started replacing the article with my version. Now that we have full disclosure, I have started adding suggestions to improve/enhance the article in the talk page. Since you invested a lot of time and effort on this article, it would be only appropriate that you review my suggestions and update the article as you see fit. I would appreciate that a lot.

I let it do its reference translation thing on something I have going in a sandbox where I am valiantly trying to master the grouped sfn stuff that seems to be in vogue on French wikipedia these days. It did indeed save me from manually fixing dozens of reference errors I had going on at the time, but I have suggestions in the french->english area for how to make it cooler:
Since I know you like links: User:Elinruby/National pastime: it's for the Maquis Lecoz redlink in the black market article, but bonus, is also itself a good article over there, plus a good case study for my project to reduce the oversimplification of World War II narratives. Possibly more than DUE for English, but there is a lot of that going on in my life right now. A couple of questions while we are here -- if you don't know the answers or can't easily find them, no worries, I can always try the help desk or dig/experiment some more.
As always, for all you do, thank you. I keep finding your name reassuringly in the history of various French civil law article. Elinruby ( talk) 22:43, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
|plume=oui
affixes the pen icon, and it's to distinguish between a general source and a "Further reading"-type source. Fr-wiki's verifiability and sourcing is much weaker than ours, and not only do they not insist on inline citations with page numbers and let you just dump the name of a book source in the "Bibliographie", they also don't generally support a "Further reading" section, so that sources that would go in "Further reading" in en-wiki, just get dumped into the "Bibliographie", along with all the sources they actually *did* use to write the article with. So, how do you tell which ones are actual sources that back the content (supposedly), and which ones are just random, other cool stuff to read for viwers? Voilà—the plume icon identifies the books that are sources. So, we don't have to keep them in our articles, but you can use them to push off all the books that *don't* have a plume to our "Further reading" section. For an example of this in use, see
fr:Épave_de_Mahdia#Bibliographie.|last=

Hello, Mathglot. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Jurisdictional dualism in France".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. ✗ plicit 14:06, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
Hello Mathglot. May i suggest you revisit your reversion. You say Undid revision 1176837055 by LindsayH (talk) Unexplained removal of sourced content
, but i removed no information merely, as my summary clearly stated, moved some to a better location in the article. We now have, again, an article with two sentences about the variety of cheeses in the middle of a section about its history instead of in the section about the variety of cheeses. Please undo your edit, thanks. Happy days, ~

Based on your comments at Hulk576's Talk page, I decided to take a look at the Jehovah's Witnesses article on the Simple English Wikipedia. Somewhat neglected, the article had fallen victim to a fairly non-neutral treatment. I've attempted a copyedit of that article. I suspect a backlash.

Hi Mathglot. There a bug with reflib in Glossary of French criminal law, and I can't work out what's wrong. If you look in the Works cited section one of the entries is "Template:Reflib/French criminal law". It comes between "Elliott, Catherine (2001)" and "Garé, Thierry; Ginestet, Catherine (September 2022)", so it's should be the output from "Elliott-Jeanpierre-Vernon-2006". I've checked Template:Reflib/French criminal law and the setup in the article and can't see anything wrong, but the cite won't display correctly. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆ transmissions∆ ° co-ords° 14:18, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
ActivelyDisinterested, Okay, I found something: a duplicate sfn whitelist param (dropped here). That seems to be in the same area you pinpointed above; so did that fix it? The problem for me is, I don't know what symptom you noticed, so I can't tell if it's gone away now. Also, what the heck is a flaff? M-W thinks it's "a flutter" or "gust", but if so, I still don't get it in the context of the edit summary. Curious minds want to know... Mathglot ( talk) 18:39, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
As a result of this discussion, I've made a change to Template:Reflib, which now detects duplicate parameters, and generates an error message instead of passing them through to the article. This will stop future problems in the case where a user inadvertently includes the same section name twice in one transclusion of the template. Of course, this wouldn't have stopped the case you discovered with two separate transclusions, but it's a start.
I've also upgraded the template doc to specifically address this issue; please have a look at the second paragraph at {{ Reflib#Technical notes}}, and feel free to edit it if it needs further clarification. I haven't looked at reproducing the bug using duplicate section transclusion yet, and I may not get to it right away; the upgrades to the template should prevent most future problem cases, and the /doc upgrade should provide the user with an explanation of the more tricky, undetectable case, as well as the solution for it. This whole discussion and investigation has resulted in the template (and /doc) becoming more robust, and that's a win. Thanks once again. Mathglot ( talk) 08:48, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello Mathglot,
I’m reaching out as part of a Cornell University academic study investigating the potential for user-facing tools to help improve discussion quality within Wikipedia discussion spaces (such as talk pages, noticeboards, etc.). We chose to reach out to you because you have been highly active on various discussion pages.
The study centers around a prototype tool, ConvoWizard, which is designed to warn Wikipedia editors when a discussion they are replying to is getting tense and at risk of derailing into personal attacks or incivility. More information about ConvoWizard and the study can be found at our research project page on meta-wiki.
If this sounds like it might be interesting to you, you can use this link to sign up and install ConvoWizard. Of course, if you are not interested, feel free to ignore this message.
If you have any questions or thoughts about the study, our team is happy to discuss! You may direct such comments to me or to my collaborator, Cristian_at_CornellNLP.
Thank you for your consideration.

Hi Mathglot, a few years ago you suggested that instead of a redirect for 'gay lifestyle' and 'homosexual lifestyle', it might be preferable to create an article on this term. I was wondering about doing so as I have quite a few sources covering the topic. I'm not sure if you still agree, so wanted to consult you first.
You wrote I have no objection to its being expanded it into an article, but I'm not sure whether that would appear to be a content fork of "Homosexual agenda". One alternative would be to explain the evolution of the term "Homosexual lifestyle", and add that as a new section to the article "Homosexual agenda". The only solution that makes no sense to me, would be to leave it as it is, pointing to LGBT culture. "Homosexual lifestyle" is a pejorative term used by those opposed to LGBT rights; it should not redirect to LGBT culture. For how the term got that way from its humble beginnings as a neutral term used in academia and elsewhere, see #History of the term, below.
If you still think this is suitable, would it be better to draft name such as article 'gay lifestyle' or 'homosexual lifestyle'? Zenomonoz ( talk) 03:12, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

I really want the early and mid sections of these articles to change, for example, in the article 2000s in fashion, the sections Early 2000s (2000-2002) are changed to Early 2000s (2000-2003) and Mid 2000s (2003-2006) to Mid 2000s (2004-2006).

Further on American Civil War books in addition to my comments on my talk page in response to your comment. You may (or perhaps may not) be aware that there is an article Bibliography of the American Civil War, which I did not call to mind when I wrote my comments. That bibliography has many sub-categories. Some are in addition to or possibly a little different from the ones in my lists. The Wikipedia page was started by Professor User:Rjensen in 2007 and has been added to by many users, including me now that I recall, over the years. Professor Jensen, long retired apparently, is still a prolific contributor to Wikipedia, including to bibliographies. There are several "main articles" for some of the topics, such as unit histories in addition to the books listed in the generic main article. The "main articles" on additional topics are also listed at the end of the Bibliography of the American Civil War article in "Bibliography subsections." As near as I can tell, all of the entries in the main article are in Chicago Manual of Style, not Wikipedia CS1 and CS2. I also see that many entries do not have ISBNs. The following categories are listed at the end of the article as well: Historiography of the American Civil War, American Civil War books, Bibliographies of the American Civil War, and there are six other "main articles" listed under that category. I did not try to check for the styles, or duplication which would be even harder to check. I would be surprised if any of these articles are in a style other than straight Chicago Manual of Style.
I can't be sure every one of my books are listed in the main bibliography article, much less in the sub articles, but certainly the main bibliography includes many additional books so I think few if any of mine are omitted. My full list is 152,574 bytes; the Wikipedia bibliography is 207,656 bytes. The six other "main articles" would only add to that. So there are definitely quite a few citations to American Civil War books available in Wikipedia articles above the number of books in my lists.
There is also a category Category:Bibliographies of wars and conflicts which may interest you if you have not seen it. I didn't know it existed until I saw that it was removed from the Bibliography of the American Civil War article for some reason. Now that American Civil War bibliography is omitted from the wars and conflicts categories, a user must to go through a couple of other categories, including Category:Bibliographies of United States military history to get to the American Civil War books bibliography if looking at categories rather than names of articles is their method of searching. I wonder whether this change may lose some searchers since they might not get past the wars and conflicts bibliography when looking for the more specific civil war books lists. That wouldn't apply to a direct search for a bibliography on some topic, of course.
The early user whom I mentioned is User:Hlj. He has a page User:Hlj/CWbibliography. This includes citations to books that he does not own. The introduction states that the list was updated through 2010 but in fact I see additions through 2018 in the edit history. I am sure this list also contains some books that I do not own. I can't be sure, of course, whether he added all of his books to the Wikipedia bibliography but I know he made additions to that page over the years. So I would not be surprised if he added them all. I am not sure whether I added all of mine over the years but I also have made a number of additions to that article over the years. I will add some that I have picked up in the past year or so in the near future if they are not on the lists already. As with the other bibliographies, the entries on Hlj's lists are in straight Chicago Manual of Style format. Interestingly, given my comment, I see an edit summary in Hlj's edit history: "add some books, restore original format (this is a personal user page and I don't appreciate other folks editing it--thanks."
So there are a number of sources for books on the topic of American Civil War, mostly in complete citation, but some missing ISBNs in the Wikipedia general Bibliography of the American Civil War. There are also more sub-categories for the books in that article than the ones I have used in my lists. As near as I can tell, none of the entries are in Wikipedia styles for citations. There may or may not be duplication in the topics.
If you go ahead with the project, these additional Wikipedia pages may not just be useful but should include everything that you or a searcher might need. I now see the additional books would create an even more massive task to avoid any unwanted duplication in a reflib (though I think some duplication might be appropriate) and perhaps more importantly to convert the citations to one of the Wikipedia styles if that is necessary or desirable - which I assume it probably is. Perhaps with these Wikipedia bibliography articles available, all of the information in a reflib is already in Wikipedia and indeed in Wikipedia articles apart from my library and Hljs. Some note about that could be left somewhere in connection with reflibs and the existence of the citation information for these books would be more widely or easily available. There would need to be the caveat that the style used in these lists is permissible but they are in straight Chicago Manual of Style format, not in a "Wikipedia style." Also, ISBNs will need to be added for some entries. They are easily found in WorldCat without needing to look at the books themselves. Donner60 ( talk) 02:04, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
The general category, which I forgot to add to the comments above, is Category:Bibliographies of wars and conflicts. Donner60 ( talk) 01:35, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

"If you continue to use yourself and primary sources over over reliable third-party sources to support claims you make that make no sense, it will be considered disruptive editing!"
If not, then I'm very sorry, I know I'm very impertinent bothering you for nonsense like this, but I just wanted to know. Oli ( talk) 06:19, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

Just wanted to thank you for the welcome message! I did actually have a small question if that's okay.
I'm running into a problem with finding sources for Russian and eastern European figures. I did some work on the articles for Pavel Blonsky and Lev Kassil. They both were influential in their times and respective fields, but there's basically zero reputable sources on them in English.
I was wondering, how would you recommend finding sources? Is there a way to ask Russian speaking editors to help flesh out these articles by translating direct from the Russian? Thanks! MunsterManicotti5092 ( talk) 22:17, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
