Hello! I'm relatively new to editing here (know how to basic edit, more familiar with the magic words over on FANDOM's platform). On the Charlie Dimmock article, I've added a link to a Wayback Machine article as the website it is from technically no longer exists (redirects to something else). Is there a way to mark the "original" as a dead link? Thanks. EmmerdaleFan1972 ( talk) 10:11, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

or if this parameter is not set, & the original URL appears second. Generally it can be assumed that the user will click on the first link. If for "fun & giggles" or by mistake one clicks on the original link, one quickly learns the convention when one fails to retrieve the target page.|url-status=dead
. When the URL is still live, but pre-emptively archived, then set |url-status=live
; this changes the display order, with the title retaining the original link and the archive linked at the end. When the original URL has been usurped for the purposes of spam, advertising, or is otherwise unsuitable, setting |url-status=unfit
or |url-status=usurped
suppresses display of the original URL (but |url=
and |archive-url=
are still required).|url-status=live
. I would recommend this in particular for links at television or radio stations, because they often seem to change their website structures, so that the original URL will change to something else or disappear altogether.|url-status=dead
rather than to depend on the default.|url-status=unfit
or |url-status=usurped
values. I have seen them cause errors. I believe that |url-status=dead
suffices for all situations when the original URL is unavailable.January 15, 6pm: Wikimedia NYC celebrates 20 years of Wikipedia | |
---|---|
Wikipedia Day is always a big day for Wikimedia NYC. While we cannot meet in person, we still have something special planned. We will begin the event with the debut of a new video celebrating our community. This will be followed by a panel discussion with some of the people you'll see in the video talking about Wikipedia's 20th anniversary, Wikimedia New York City, and the amazing work they do on Wikimedia projects. The event will be broadcast live via YouTube. Feel free to ask questions for the panel through the chat! We will also have some NYC wiki trivia you can participate in, with confectionery prizes.

Hi, so I don't think there's anything wrong with being honest and including "eugenicist" in her bio. This is a site to teach people and anyone who doesn't scroll down to the eugenics section, might not be aware of her history in the subject. If you look at any politicians or doctors who have dabbled in this area, they're regularly branded "white supremacists" however while that title could be applied to her too, I thought that might be a bit harsh and used the more restrained term of "eugenicist." This really shouldn't be a problem for someone who legitimately believed in eugenics LetMeSeeYourBones ( talk) 17:25, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
Hello! I just wanted to thank you very much for reaching out to me with such helpful information that I really needed... Have a wonderful day and Stay Awesome
Sincerely AnestisM. Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷 Anestis99 ( talk) 22:45, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
Hello Peaceray,
This is Scott B Love. Thank you for your comment on my Climate Change suggestion. Is this the best to respond? I hope so. Anyway, my suggestion seems to have been erased with no comment that I can find. I went back to the Climate Change (talk) section and saw no mention of it. Can you find the reason what I wrote was deleted without a comment on why it was deleted?
What I wrote was the following. I idea is to describe an "ideal mathematically average" world citizen and how their CO2 emissions must decrease to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C. I think we do not understand that to limit human caused global warming to 1.5 degrees C we must not emit more than 14.4 pounds of CO2 per person per day (that is about what the green plants of the world take up for each of us), and we all must not emit any other greenhouse gases in order to end human cause global warming. So, what I suggested for the Climate Change (talk) section was the following:
The United Nations Environmental Programme Gap Report says world CO2 emissions must decrease 7.6% a year every year from 2020 to 2030 in order to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C.
https://wedocs.unep.org/bitstream/handle/20.500.11822/30797/EGR2019.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y
What does this mean to the average world citizen?
We can take the 2019 world CO2 emissions of 36.8 billion metric tonnes and divide it by 7.6 billion people to find out how many tonnes of CO2 the average world citizen emitted in 2019. We can multiply those tonnes of CO2 by 2205 pounds per tonne, and divide by 365 days per year to find out the average world citizen emitted about 29.3 pounds of CO2 per person per day in 2019. Decreasing 29.3 pounds of CO2 per person per day by 7.6% every year between 2020 and 2030 shows the average world citizen must emit just 12.3 pounds of CO2 per person per day in 2030. To limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C the average world citizen must decrease their CO2 emissions from 29.3 pounds of CO2 per person per day in 2019 to 12.3 pounds of CO2 per person per day in 2030.
Everyone can find out how many pounds of CO2 they emitted last year by filling out a carbon calculator like the Cool California Carbon Calculator.
https://coolcalifornia.arb.ca.gov/calculator-households-individuals
They can multiply the tonnes of CO2 they emitted last year by 2205 pounds per tonne, and divide by 365 days per year to find out their average “pounds of CO2 emitted per person per day” last year.
In 2030 they can do this and find out if them are emitting just 12.3 pounds of CO2 per person per day. If the world has learned to take significant amounts of CO2 out of the atmosphere, then people will be able to emit more than 12.3 pounds of CO2 per person per day.
In 2030 climate scientists can calculate how many pounds of CO2 per day the average world citizen can emit and not contribute to global warming and climate change.
In 2018 the average Californian emitted about 82 pounds of CO2 per day (California Air Resources Board data). According to the following website, it takes about 10 pounds of CO2 equivalents per day to provide food for the average vegetarian in America, and 20 pounds of CO2 to provide food for a meat loving American each day.
http://shrinkthatfootprint.com/food-carbon-footprint-diet
(The website says it takes 3.3 tonnes of CO2 per year to provide food for a meat loving American. Multiplying by 2205 pounds per tonne, and dividing by 365 days per year gives 20 pounds of CO2 per day to provide food for a meat loving American.
The website says it takes 1.7 tonnes of CO2 to provide food for a vegetarian in America. Multiplying by 2205 pounds per tonne, and dividing by 365 days per years shows it takes 10 pounds of CO2 per day to provide food for a vegetarian in America.) Thus, after the average American buys their food for the day, they are emitting more CO2 than the green plants of the earth sequester on their behalf.
When Californians spend $100, that $100 is associated with emitting 37 pounds of CO2 into the atmosphere. (We can divide California’s per capita CO2 emissions by California’s per capita GDP and find the average $100 spent in California is associated with putting about 37 pounds of CO2 into the atmosphere.)
Also, there are the CO2 emissions of government services. In 2008 MIT Professor Timothy Gutowski estimated that local, state and federal government services in the United States emitted about 8.5 tonnes of CO2 for every American citizen. Multiplying 8.5 tonnes by 2205 pounds per tonne and dividing by 365 days per year shows that government services emitted about 51 pounds of CO2 per American per day in 2008.
When we emit more than 14.4 pounds of CO2 per person per day, we are contributing to global warming and climate change. When we emit more than 14.4 pounds of CO2 per day, we are contributing to the melting of the Himalayan glaciers, and threatening the water supply of 1.5 billion people, including the people of Pakistan and India. The people of Pakistan and India rely on water from the Himalayan glaciers in the form of the Indus River. As global warming continues, the Indus River will get smaller, and India and Pakistan may have nuclear war over water. A nuclear war between India and Pakistan would cause about 1 degree C of global cooling and threaten the lives of 2 billion people. In thinking about global warming and climate change we should take all nuclear weapons off of hair trigger alert and negotiate the end of all nuclear weapons. The IPCC should include nuclear disarmament talks as part of addressing climate change. It is extremely unlikely Americans will decrease their CO2 emissions from about 100 pounds of CO2 per person per day to 12.3 pounds of CO2 per person per day between 2020 and 2030.
In 2030 what can world citizens do to end global warming and limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C? It is easiest to talk about this by thinking about what Jesus the scientist was trying to do. Jesus believed the Curses of Deuteronomy were the result of sin. Jesus believed sin began when Adam and Eve ate an apple grown in a garden. Gardens are places where food is grown for people. To stop sin, Jesus recommended to live according to "lay not your treasures up on earth where rot and (the fungus) rust doth corrupt and thieves break in an steal." To stop sin, Jesus recommended not growing food in gardens and storing it where it will rot and thieves will want to steal it. Jesus was recommending living as hunter gatherers like the Khoisan hunter gatherers of Africa. Jesus was implying agriculture was a mistake, much like U.C.L.A Professor Jared Diamond has written agriculture was the worst mistake in the history of the human race.
https://www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/the-worst-mistake-in-the-history-of-the-human-race
To help people live as hunter gatherers, Jesus lay down his life for his sheep. By suffering a very painful death by crucifixion, Jesus hoped others would lay down their lives for his sheep in less painful ways (like falling on their sword, like Brutus fell on his sword.) Today we might have Physician Assisted Acts of Altruism which would help us reach a population where there would be no human cause global warming and no human caused climate change and no worsening of the Curses of Deuteronomy.
How many people must lay down their lives for the sheep of Jesus so that there would be no human caused global warming and no human caused climate change? (How many people must lay down their lives for the sheep of Jesus so there would be no worsening of the Curses of Deuteronomy?)
The following website (Figure 1) says the earth sequesters about half of world CO2 emissions.
https://phys.org/news/2012-08-earth-absorbing-carbon-dioxide-emissions.html
Half of world CO2 emissions of 36.2 billion metric tonnes of CO2 comes to about 18.1 billion metric tonnes.
We can take the 18.1 billion metric tonnes of CO2 sequestered by the green plants of the world, and divide it by a state or country's per capita CO2 emissions to find out how many people can live on earth without increasing atmospheric CO2. California’s per capita CO2 emissions were 9.26 metric tonnes of CO2 in 2016. If everyone in the world emitted 9.26 metric tonnes of CO2 per year, 1.95 billion people could live on earth without contributing to global warming. That would represent a 74% decrease in the world’s population. If California’s population decreased 74%, California’s population would need to decrease from 39.25 million people to 7.31 million people to live sustainably on earth without raising atmospheric CO2.
The following Table uses 18.1 billion metric tonnes of CO2 sequestered (taken up) by the green plants of the world to calculate how many people would need to lay down their life for the sheep of Jesus to stop raising atmospheric CO2. Who are the sheep of Jesus? The sheep of Jesus are those who live as Jesus suggested, and live according to "lay not your treasures up on earth where rot and (the fungus) rust doth corrupt and thieves break in an steal." The sheep of Jesus are those who live as hunter gatherers like the Khoisan hunter gatherers of Africa.
State or Country population The number of people who (millions of people) must lay down their lives for the sheep of Jesus. .......................................(in millions of people) Australia 24.13 22 Bhutan 0.7 0 California 39.25 32 China 1379 1070 India 1324 123 Pakistan 193.2 0 (-177) United Kingdom 65.65 50 United States 327 293
How might this information best be taught? Health care organizations could offer computer counseling services. Artifical Intelligence computers like IBM Watson could engage citizens, offering them encouragement and teaching them Albert Einstein's new way of thinking.
Albert Einstein wrote “We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive“.
“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
What helps us widen our circles of compassion for all life? Does it help to realize life is a (science based) miracle? We might define a (science based) miracle as an event of extremely small probability. Life is a (science based) miracle.
If there is more than one universe, it would take 10^10^10^7 other universes for there to be a universe like ours that can support life.
(If life is so precious, how could the world have 13,500 nuclear weapons worldwide ready to destroy all of life?)
We can define acts of (science based) love as “acts which sustain life, acts which enhance life, and/or acts which make life possible.”
We can “be still and know that I am (science based) love.”
What acts of (science based) love can I experience when I am still?
When I am still, I can feel my heart beat. Every beat of my heart is an act of (science based) love, for every beat of my heart sustains my life and makes my life possible.
When I am still, I can feel my chest rise, and air coming into my lungs. Every breath is an act of love. Every breath helps sustain my life and make my life possible.
When I am still, I can move my fingers, and every move of my fingers can be an act of love for my fingers can help feed me and sustain my life.
When I am still, I can think how to find food. Finding food is an act of love, for food sustains my life and makes my life possible.
When I am still, I can feel the beat of my heart. Every beat of my heart is an act of love, sustaining my life.
When I am still, I can feel the beat of my heart within my hands. Every beat of my heart sustains the life of my hands and every cell in my body.
I can imagine my heart saying the cells of my mind “Our love which art in heaven”
(We can define a (science based) heaven as a place where all the parts of your body (science based) love themselves as they (science based) love all the other parts of your body. When you heart beats, it is performing acts of (science based) love for all the cells of your heart, keeping them healthy. When your heart beats, it is performing acts of (science based) love for all the cells of your body, keeping them alive. All the cells of your body (science based) love your heart, performing their acts of (science based) love that sustain the life of your heart.
Realizing your body is a (science based) heaven gives us a new appreciation of your body.
All the organs of your body and all the cells of your body are performing acts of (science based) love that sustain their life, and sustain the life of every other organ and cell in your body.
The meditation continues "(science based) Hallowed be thy Name"
Something that is Holy is something that sustains life. The name “holy” and “hallowed” enhance life, and so thinking them and saying them are acts of (science based) love.
Thy Kingdom come
(What is the Kingdom of (science based) Love? We might imagine your consciousness is the King or Queen of all your cells. Your conscious mind is able to think about each of your cells, and perform acts of (science based) Love to sustain the life of each cell and all your cells. Within being aware it has happened, your conscious mind is the King or Queen of a (science based) heaven consisting of 27 trillion cells. We can meditate on this, and imagine how the Kingdom of (science based) Love within your body mind be spread so that all the world of people becomes a Kingdom of (science based) love, like the Kingdom of (science based) Love within your body.
We can think "May the Kingdom of (science based) Love within my body be realized by my mind. May the Kingdom of (science based) love within my body give me peace, knowing all the parts of my body will do the best they can to (science based) love all the other parts of my body.)"
Thy will be done
(May will of (science based) love be done throughout my body. What is the will of (science based) love? The will of (science based) love is to perform acts which sustain life, or enhance life, or perform acts which make life possible.)
on earth
(May the (science based) love within my body help the rest of the world perform acts of (science based) love throughout society here on earth.)
as it is in (my science based) heaven.
(As it is in the (science based heaven within my body.)
Give us this day our daily bread
(May the (science based) love in my mind be successful at finding food and providing food to my heart and all the parts of my body. May the (science based) love within all the plants that I eat be successful at growing and providing my body with food.) May the (science based) love within all the animals and living things that I eat be successful at helping them sustain their lives.
And forgive us our trespasses
(May the (science based) love within my mind forgive me for not treating others as well as I would like. May the (science based) love within the minds of others forgive me for not treating them as well as they would like. People may think I did not treat them very well. I will have trouble forgiving others for not treating me as well as I would like. They will have trouble forgiving me for not treating them as well as they would like. We all need this prayer to help forgive ourselves and others for not treating everyone as well as we would like. ) As we forgive those who trespass against us
(May I forgive others for not treating me as well as I would like.)
Lead us not into temptation
(May my thoughts be guided by the (science based) love within my mind so that I am not tempted to mistreat others.)
But deliver us from evil
(May the (science based) love within my mind be successful at avoiding evil thoughts and evil deeds of others..)
For thine is the Kingdom ((of science based) love. My mind constructs a world that is my Kingdom. With effort, I can make my world and my Kingdom a Kingdom of (science based) Love.)
and the power (the (science based) love of every cell in my body produces the power that gives me thoughts.))
and the glory ((the (science based) love within my body produces whatever glory I might recognize.) Glory is defined as "magnificence or great beauty.” This meditation on (science based) love can help us recognize whatever magnificence or beauty we might recognize. How do the 37 trillion cells of our body form a thought magnificent or beautiful. How do the cells of our eye perceive a picture that is magnificent or beautiful? These are mysteries we take for granted. This meditation might remind us of this great mystery.)
Without all these comments the meditation on the Love within us and around us simpler.
“Our love which art in heaven Hallowed be thy Name Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread And forgive us our trespasses As we forgive those who trespass against us Lead us not into temptation But deliver us from evil For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever.

I answered your question at Draft talk:Christine Muschik. But as general advice: 1) The rules for academics are different. You/re not trying to show substantial 3rd party reliable published sources, not press releases or blogs or postings or mere notices , you're trying to show "Influence in their field". Papers with high citations show an influence in their field. It's the very definition of what academic influence is: that people cite your work. As a rule of thumb, in biomed we want two or more papers over 100. it only works in science. In the humanities,we want 2 books from university or other academic presses, with 3rd party book reviews. 2) For GNG, it's not quantity of references that matter See WP:THREE, the best explanation I know of for what the GNG means in practice; you may have seen it cited at AfDs--it's a very short, but very influential essay.

Hi, Peaceray. First, I wanted to start by saying that I am relatively new to this platform. In the Church of England article, you have undone my correction with respect to the classification and orientation of the Anglican Church. As far as I knew, the classification within the Protestant movement of the Anglican Church is correct. I would like to know if something was wrong to fix it or to know if it was right as it was, if it was necessary to post sources or references, I am relatively new to this but all contributed in good faith. Thanks for your attention!— Preceding unsigned comment added by Albertogomez17 ( talk • contribs) 21:37, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
First the Church of England states in the creed and its foundational documents that it is still part of the Catholic Church so it does not agree that it has separated from the Catholic Church, it was separated from that part of the Catholic Church which is controlled from Rome.
In the first half of the 17th century, the Church of England and its associated Church of Ireland were presented by some Anglican divines as comprising a distinct Christian tradition, with theologies, structures, and forms of worship representing a different kind of middle way, or via media, between Protestantism and Catholicism – a perspective that came to be highly influential in later theories of Anglican identity and expressed in the description of Anglicanism as "Catholic and Reformed".[1]
The religious settlement that eventually emerged in the reign of Elizabeth gave the Church of England the distinctive identity that it still has today. It resulted in a Church that consciously retained a large amount of continuity with the Church of the Patristic and Medieval periods in terms of its use of the catholic creeds, its pattern of ministry, its buildings and aspects of its liturgy, but which also embodied Protestant insights in its theology and in the overall shape of its liturgical practice. The way that this is often expressed is by saying that the Church of England is both 'catholic and reformed.' [1]

Hi, You reverted an edit of the Australian rules football article to remove a template questioning by whom the sport was "officially" known by a name. The referenced source is a publication by the Australian Football League Limited, an incorporated company, a private association with no official authority. The company (formerly named the Victorian Football League Limited - see asic.gov.au) is no longer a league of clubs as it is not controlled by its original member clubs, has an independent board (commission) and operates of its own volition following court rulings indicating it did not have a fiduciary relationship to the clubs. The South Melbourne "Swans" and Fitzroy "Lions" football clubs were bankrupted by indebtment to the company which took over and now owns some teams, retains veto control of others and has licenced or franchised new teams to owners. The company is unrepresentative of and unaccountable to the many Australian Football clubs and the huge Australian Football community. As a rapacious monopolistic company trying to control Australian Football, of course the AFL will pretend it has some "official" authority. Please do not lend credibility to the AFL's disinformation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.64.64.135 ( talk • contribs) 16:00, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
What makes it "official"? Only the ignorant call it AFL.
The Official Home of AFL. Putting aside your contest of the veracity of that statement, you might consider the template was inappropriate, as there was a statement & a citation that clearly supported it.
officially known asto
also calledmakes sense in this context. However, your questioning of the veracity & role of afl.com.au would be much better be directed to Talk:Australian rules football where editors more familiar with Australian rules football can better evaluate & discuss your argument. After all, I am a Yank who rarely follows sports, let alone those in Australia. I can only gauge edits by their summaries & the appropriates of template placing. IMHO, as I already stated, this edit was inappropriate because it appeared to be biased based on the edit summary & because there was a citation that seemed to support it.

I reverted those edits on Python anyway because it was already in the citations and I don't the point of calling out a specific ranking in a specific survey. It's just the opinions of Stack Overflow users who hear about and answer surveys, not software developers in general anyway. Akeosnhaoe ( talk) 14:54, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
The lead should stand on its own as a concise overview of the article's topicthat should
summarize the most important points. Details are best left for the body of the article. To pull a detail from the twenty-something table of the third of five citations hardly strikes me as part of concise summary. It puts us rather deep in the brush of the jungle when we are striving for a 10,000 feet (3,000 m) view, don't you think?
Python consistently ranks as one of the most popular programming languagessuffices. Peaceray ( talk) 16:22, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your help reverting the CFD templates from category pages per the nomination at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2021 May 16#Empty expert subject categories.
For info, this would otherwise have been handled by a bot, as programmed by Lee Vilenski here [8] (albeit the syntax needed a slight change).
The bot would also have added {{ Old CfD}} to the talk pages. However, I think it won't do that now that the CFD templates have already been removed from the category pages. I've added it manually at Category talk:Wikipedia articles needing expert attention. Feel free to paste that onto the talk pages of some of the other categories if you think it might be noticed for future reference. – Fayenatic London 20:26, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

I am quite confident in asserting that the nicknames of the Hawaiian Islands is just that, Islands. For instance, the main local newspaper in Kaua'i is The Garden Island, the term "isle" is only something that exists on the internet from what I have seen. However, this is hard to source as most online publications beyond Hawaii erroneously use the word "isle". Weather this is a mistranslation from the original Hawaiian I can not say. However, what I know beyond doubt and anyone who has lived in these islands can tell you is that the phrase "Isle" is never said here. We don't say "The Big Isle" for Hawaii Island do we? — Preceding unsigned comment added by KingDario ( talk • contribs) 13:57 30 May 2021 (UTC)
anyone who has lived in these islands can tell you is that the phrase "Isle" is never said here.contradicts my experience of living for nearly 14 years on "The Gathering Place", working as a part-time reference librarian at HPU (which hosted the Hawaiʻi Pacific special collection, BTW), & seeing those Isle nicknames splashed all over tourist literature. I will take these Hawaiʻi sources over your undocumented assertions.
The unprecedented surge of COVID-19 cases on the mainland and the rise in community spread on Kaua‘i are of significant concern for the Garden Isle.— Gov.

María Teresa Sesé looks interesting ... but Wikidata says that according to the National Library of Portugal she died in 2019. All 3 articles on her have this in their infoboxes but not in their text, so I think it's pretty unlikely. I don't know what we need to do about dodgy info in Wikidata, but if you have any Wikidata geeks among your centenarian-focussed fellow-editors they might like to take it up.

While I can understand that IMDB is user generated source, I do not understand how my addition to the In Popular culture section is not allowed, but others such as: The 2019 film Ad Astra uses the "6EQUJ5" signal as the filename of a Top Secret message reviewed by the film's main character. or In the 2015 movie Lazer Team, the Wow! signal is used as the source of an alien power suit. is when neither link has a cite either. It would seem to me, that if those pass muster, mine's no different. Just trying to understand. Thanks.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Stridergdm ( talk • contribs) 18:16, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

This is an oblast > Russian only) as per the Jewish Autonomous Oblast article or had no edit summary whatsoever. Your last removal of the material at least had a clear edit summary. If I had reverted it then after you had challenged the lack of citations, then an {{ uw-unsourced1}} level one warning might have been appropriate. I therefore think the {{ uw-unsourced2}} level two warning was inappropriate & shows a lack of WP:AGF. I leave it here for other editors to judge.

The user, Special:Contributions/178.202.82.89, just blanked his own talk page. Could you please revert the blank right now and warn that user not to do such a thing like that again? AdamDeanHall ( talk) 19:25, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
Although archiving is preferred, users may freely remove comments from their own talk pages. Users may also remove some content in archiving. The removal of a warning is taken as evidence that the warning has been read by the user. This specifically includes both registered and unregistered users. Some new users believe they can hide critical comments by deleting them. This is not true: Such comments can always be retrieved from the page history.
Sorry, I am new to editing wiki. How do we justify calling Sally Ride a lesbian, instead of bisexuality? Heck, she married a man. Dus she disavow her interest in men? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.241.161.165 ( talk) 04:08, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
But coming out doesn't seem to have occurred to her and certainly would have jeopardized her chance to go to space if not killed it outright. Around 1990-seven years after Ride's historic flight-NASA management quietly ordered a working group of physicians to declare homosexuality a 'psychiatrically disqualifying condition.' (The rule didn't end up going through, and although no astronaut has ever come out, NASA says it doesn't discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation.)

Guild of Copy Editors September 2021 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the September GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2021. Current and upcoming events
September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Drive and Blitz reports
June Blitz: From 20 to 26 June, 6 participating editors claimed 16 copy edits, focusing on requests and articles tagged in March and April. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: Almost 575,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 24 people who signed up, 18 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 15 to 21 August, we copy edited articles tagged in April and May 2021 and requests. 9 participating editors completed 17 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Other news
June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. New maintenance template added to our project scope: After a short discussion in June, we added {{ cleanup tense}} to the list of maintenance templates that adds articles to the Guild's copy editing backlog categories. This change added 198 articles, spread over 97 months of backlog, to our queue. We processed all of those articles except for those from the three or four most recent months during the July backlog elimination drive (Here's a link to a "tense" discussion during the drive). Progress report: As of 18:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have processed 468 requests since 1 January and there were 60 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (see monthly progress graph above). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from

I was looking at a page on a subject involving Botswana, and in several places it uses the form "Botswanan". This is regarded as an incorrect form locally, for reasons to do with Bantu grammar. Better would be "Botswana citizenship" for example. I thought of changing it, but do I need to provide a reference? The form "Botswanan" is however used outside the country to some extent, though seldom by experts. I am new to this, should I raise the issue on Talk or something first? Perhaps I should mention here that I am a historian of the region. Thanks MirrorSquirrel ( talk) 19:45, 8 November 2021 (UTC).
=="Botswanan" is incorrect usage for the region==
, then explain the how & why of it being incorrect. Listing a citation or two showing that "Botswanan" is incorrect" or that the correct method would be something like "Botswana citizenship" would buttress your statements. Then when you make your change, your edit summary can be something like Removing "Botswana" as incorrect, replacing with the locally acceptable "Botswana citizenship". Please see talk page for details.
I disagree with you regarding education. If someone doesn't have a degree than they don't have the education. Hence, the only education that Ms. Holmes has is the high school one. She studied at the university for 2 months only. To list a university education in her profile is an insult to all the people who actually had to work towards getting their education. There's no such thing like an "incomplete degree". There either is a degree or there is not, nothing in between. It looks like your approach is not neutral. I don't think a university degree should be listed in her short bio because she does not have one. The fact she studied at Stanford for a short while is mentioned in detail in the article which is absolutely fine but it should not be listed in the summary because she does NOT have a university education, she left school at 19. A propos, she's not just an accused fraudster, she IS a fraudster. The lies have already been exposed, regardless of where legal proceedings are at. TerraPax ( talk) 07:26, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
a former student who has either attended or graduated in some fashion from the institution.Thus, Holmes would be considered an alumna of Stanford.

Guild of Copy Editors December 2021 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the December GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since September 2021. Current and upcoming events
Election time: Our end-of-year election of coordinators opened for nominations on 1 December and will close on 15 December at 23:59 (UTC). Voting opens at 00:01 the following day and will continue until 31 December at 23:59, just before " Auld Lang Syne". Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. December Blitz: We have scheduled a week-long copy-editing blitz for 12 to 18 December. Sign up now! Drive and Blitz reports
September Drive: Almost 400,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 27 people who signed up, 21 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. October Blitz: From 17 to 23 October, we copy edited articles tagged in May and June 2021 and requests. 8 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. November Drive: Over 350,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 21 people who signed up, 14 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. Other news
It is with great sadness that we report the death on 19 November of Twofingered Typist, who was active with the Guild almost daily for the past several years. His contributions long exceeded the thresholds for the Guild's highest awards, and he had a hand in innumerable good and featured article promotions as a willing collaborator. Twofingered Typist also served as a Guild coordinator from July 2019 to June 2021. He is sorely missed by the Wikipedia community. Progress report: As of 30 November, GOCE copyeditors have completed 619 requests in 2021 and there were 51 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog stood at 946 articles tagged for copy-editing (see monthly progress graph above). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you!

Hi!
Thanks for attending the Pre-ISBN/ISSN bibliographic data workshop at WikidataCon 2021. It would be great to continue the conversation with you at Linked Pasts VII, a free online conference held 13-21 December.
Simon Cobb and I will be leading two activities Monday and Wednesday: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Marianika/Linked_Pasts_VII
Whether or not you can attend, if you're still interested in historical bibliographic data, could you please add your name and/or projects to this page I created for the wider initiative of getting people in academia and/or in the GLAM sector and/or in the Wiki communities to talk about how to model their historical bibliographic data (pre-ISBN/ISSN/ISMN):
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Marianika/Historical_Bibliographic_Data
If you're no longer interested, you can also let me know and I'll stop bugging you, ;- )

Hello! I'm relatively new to editing here (know how to basic edit, more familiar with the magic words over on FANDOM's platform). On the Charlie Dimmock article, I've added a link to a Wayback Machine article as the website it is from technically no longer exists (redirects to something else). Is there a way to mark the "original" as a dead link? Thanks. EmmerdaleFan1972 ( talk) 10:11, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

or if this parameter is not set, & the original URL appears second. Generally it can be assumed that the user will click on the first link. If for "fun & giggles" or by mistake one clicks on the original link, one quickly learns the convention when one fails to retrieve the target page.|url-status=dead
. When the URL is still live, but pre-emptively archived, then set |url-status=live
; this changes the display order, with the title retaining the original link and the archive linked at the end. When the original URL has been usurped for the purposes of spam, advertising, or is otherwise unsuitable, setting |url-status=unfit
or |url-status=usurped
suppresses display of the original URL (but |url=
and |archive-url=
are still required).|url-status=live
. I would recommend this in particular for links at television or radio stations, because they often seem to change their website structures, so that the original URL will change to something else or disappear altogether.|url-status=dead
rather than to depend on the default.|url-status=unfit
or |url-status=usurped
values. I have seen them cause errors. I believe that |url-status=dead
suffices for all situations when the original URL is unavailable.January 15, 6pm: Wikimedia NYC celebrates 20 years of Wikipedia | |

Wikipedia Day is always a big day for Wikimedia NYC. While we cannot meet in person, we still have something special planned. We will begin the event with the debut of a new video celebrating our community. This will be followed by a panel discussion with some of the people you'll see in the video talking about Wikipedia's 20th anniversary, Wikimedia New York City, and the amazing work they do on Wikimedia projects. The event will be broadcast live via YouTube. Feel free to ask questions for the panel through the chat! We will also have some NYC wiki trivia you can participate in, with confectionery prizes.

Hi, so I don't think there's anything wrong with being honest and including "eugenicist" in her bio. This is a site to teach people and anyone who doesn't scroll down to the eugenics section, might not be aware of her history in the subject. If you look at any politicians or doctors who have dabbled in this area, they're regularly branded "white supremacists" however while that title could be applied to her too, I thought that might be a bit harsh and used the more restrained term of "eugenicist." This really shouldn't be a problem for someone who legitimately believed in eugenics LetMeSeeYourBones ( talk) 17:25, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello Peaceray,
This is Scott B Love. Thank you for your comment on my Climate Change suggestion. Is this the best to respond? I hope so. Anyway, my suggestion seems to have been erased with no comment that I can find. I went back to the Climate Change (talk) section and saw no mention of it. Can you find the reason what I wrote was deleted without a comment on why it was deleted?
What I wrote was the following. I idea is to describe an "ideal mathematically average" world citizen and how their CO2 emissions must decrease to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C. I think we do not understand that to limit human caused global warming to 1.5 degrees C we must not emit more than 14.4 pounds of CO2 per person per day (that is about what the green plants of the world take up for each of us), and we all must not emit any other greenhouse gases in order to end human cause global warming. So, what I suggested for the Climate Change (talk) section was the following:
The United Nations Environmental Programme Gap Report says world CO2 emissions must decrease 7.6% a year every year from 2020 to 2030 in order to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C.
https://wedocs.unep.org/bitstream/handle/20.500.11822/30797/EGR2019.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y
What does this mean to the average world citizen?
We can take the 2019 world CO2 emissions of 36.8 billion metric tonnes and divide it by 7.6 billion people to find out how many tonnes of CO2 the average world citizen emitted in 2019. We can multiply those tonnes of CO2 by 2205 pounds per tonne, and divide by 365 days per year to find out the average world citizen emitted about 29.3 pounds of CO2 per person per day in 2019. Decreasing 29.3 pounds of CO2 per person per day by 7.6% every year between 2020 and 2030 shows the average world citizen must emit just 12.3 pounds of CO2 per person per day in 2030. To limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C the average world citizen must decrease their CO2 emissions from 29.3 pounds of CO2 per person per day in 2019 to 12.3 pounds of CO2 per person per day in 2030.
Everyone can find out how many pounds of CO2 they emitted last year by filling out a carbon calculator like the Cool California Carbon Calculator.
https://coolcalifornia.arb.ca.gov/calculator-households-individuals
They can multiply the tonnes of CO2 they emitted last year by 2205 pounds per tonne, and divide by 365 days per year to find out their average “pounds of CO2 emitted per person per day” last year.
In 2030 they can do this and find out if them are emitting just 12.3 pounds of CO2 per person per day. If the world has learned to take significant amounts of CO2 out of the atmosphere, then people will be able to emit more than 12.3 pounds of CO2 per person per day.
In 2030 climate scientists can calculate how many pounds of CO2 per day the average world citizen can emit and not contribute to global warming and climate change.
In 2018 the average Californian emitted about 82 pounds of CO2 per day (California Air Resources Board data). According to the following website, it takes about 10 pounds of CO2 equivalents per day to provide food for the average vegetarian in America, and 20 pounds of CO2 to provide food for a meat loving American each day.
http://shrinkthatfootprint.com/food-carbon-footprint-diet
(The website says it takes 3.3 tonnes of CO2 per year to provide food for a meat loving American. Multiplying by 2205 pounds per tonne, and dividing by 365 days per year gives 20 pounds of CO2 per day to provide food for a meat loving American.
The website says it takes 1.7 tonnes of CO2 to provide food for a vegetarian in America. Multiplying by 2205 pounds per tonne, and dividing by 365 days per years shows it takes 10 pounds of CO2 per day to provide food for a vegetarian in America.) Thus, after the average American buys their food for the day, they are emitting more CO2 than the green plants of the earth sequester on their behalf.
When Californians spend $100, that $100 is associated with emitting 37 pounds of CO2 into the atmosphere. (We can divide California’s per capita CO2 emissions by California’s per capita GDP and find the average $100 spent in California is associated with putting about 37 pounds of CO2 into the atmosphere.)
Also, there are the CO2 emissions of government services. In 2008 MIT Professor Timothy Gutowski estimated that local, state and federal government services in the United States emitted about 8.5 tonnes of CO2 for every American citizen. Multiplying 8.5 tonnes by 2205 pounds per tonne and dividing by 365 days per year shows that government services emitted about 51 pounds of CO2 per American per day in 2008.
When we emit more than 14.4 pounds of CO2 per person per day, we are contributing to global warming and climate change. When we emit more than 14.4 pounds of CO2 per day, we are contributing to the melting of the Himalayan glaciers, and threatening the water supply of 1.5 billion people, including the people of Pakistan and India. The people of Pakistan and India rely on water from the Himalayan glaciers in the form of the Indus River. As global warming continues, the Indus River will get smaller, and India and Pakistan may have nuclear war over water. A nuclear war between India and Pakistan would cause about 1 degree C of global cooling and threaten the lives of 2 billion people. In thinking about global warming and climate change we should take all nuclear weapons off of hair trigger alert and negotiate the end of all nuclear weapons. The IPCC should include nuclear disarmament talks as part of addressing climate change. It is extremely unlikely Americans will decrease their CO2 emissions from about 100 pounds of CO2 per person per day to 12.3 pounds of CO2 per person per day between 2020 and 2030.
In 2030 what can world citizens do to end global warming and limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C? It is easiest to talk about this by thinking about what Jesus the scientist was trying to do. Jesus believed the Curses of Deuteronomy were the result of sin. Jesus believed sin began when Adam and Eve ate an apple grown in a garden. Gardens are places where food is grown for people. To stop sin, Jesus recommended to live according to "lay not your treasures up on earth where rot and (the fungus) rust doth corrupt and thieves break in an steal." To stop sin, Jesus recommended not growing food in gardens and storing it where it will rot and thieves will want to steal it. Jesus was recommending living as hunter gatherers like the Khoisan hunter gatherers of Africa. Jesus was implying agriculture was a mistake, much like U.C.L.A Professor Jared Diamond has written agriculture was the worst mistake in the history of the human race.
https://www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/the-worst-mistake-in-the-history-of-the-human-race
To help people live as hunter gatherers, Jesus lay down his life for his sheep. By suffering a very painful death by crucifixion, Jesus hoped others would lay down their lives for his sheep in less painful ways (like falling on their sword, like Brutus fell on his sword.) Today we might have Physician Assisted Acts of Altruism which would help us reach a population where there would be no human cause global warming and no human caused climate change and no worsening of the Curses of Deuteronomy.
How many people must lay down their lives for the sheep of Jesus so that there would be no human caused global warming and no human caused climate change? (How many people must lay down their lives for the sheep of Jesus so there would be no worsening of the Curses of Deuteronomy?)
The following website (Figure 1) says the earth sequesters about half of world CO2 emissions.
https://phys.org/news/2012-08-earth-absorbing-carbon-dioxide-emissions.html
Half of world CO2 emissions of 36.2 billion metric tonnes of CO2 comes to about 18.1 billion metric tonnes.
We can take the 18.1 billion metric tonnes of CO2 sequestered by the green plants of the world, and divide it by a state or country's per capita CO2 emissions to find out how many people can live on earth without increasing atmospheric CO2. California’s per capita CO2 emissions were 9.26 metric tonnes of CO2 in 2016. If everyone in the world emitted 9.26 metric tonnes of CO2 per year, 1.95 billion people could live on earth without contributing to global warming. That would represent a 74% decrease in the world’s population. If California’s population decreased 74%, California’s population would need to decrease from 39.25 million people to 7.31 million people to live sustainably on earth without raising atmospheric CO2.
The following Table uses 18.1 billion metric tonnes of CO2 sequestered (taken up) by the green plants of the world to calculate how many people would need to lay down their life for the sheep of Jesus to stop raising atmospheric CO2. Who are the sheep of Jesus? The sheep of Jesus are those who live as Jesus suggested, and live according to "lay not your treasures up on earth where rot and (the fungus) rust doth corrupt and thieves break in an steal." The sheep of Jesus are those who live as hunter gatherers like the Khoisan hunter gatherers of Africa.
State or Country population The number of people who (millions of people) must lay down their lives for the sheep of Jesus. .......................................(in millions of people) Australia 24.13 22 Bhutan 0.7 0 California 39.25 32 China 1379 1070 India 1324 123 Pakistan 193.2 0 (-177) United Kingdom 65.65 50 United States 327 293
How might this information best be taught? Health care organizations could offer computer counseling services. Artifical Intelligence computers like IBM Watson could engage citizens, offering them encouragement and teaching them Albert Einstein's new way of thinking.
Albert Einstein wrote “We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive“.
“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
What helps us widen our circles of compassion for all life? Does it help to realize life is a (science based) miracle? We might define a (science based) miracle as an event of extremely small probability. Life is a (science based) miracle.
If there is more than one universe, it would take 10^10^10^7 other universes for there to be a universe like ours that can support life.
(If life is so precious, how could the world have 13,500 nuclear weapons worldwide ready to destroy all of life?)
We can define acts of (science based) love as “acts which sustain life, acts which enhance life, and/or acts which make life possible.”
We can “be still and know that I am (science based) love.”
What acts of (science based) love can I experience when I am still?
When I am still, I can feel my heart beat. Every beat of my heart is an act of (science based) love, for every beat of my heart sustains my life and makes my life possible.
When I am still, I can feel my chest rise, and air coming into my lungs. Every breath is an act of love. Every breath helps sustain my life and make my life possible.
When I am still, I can move my fingers, and every move of my fingers can be an act of love for my fingers can help feed me and sustain my life.
When I am still, I can think how to find food. Finding food is an act of love, for food sustains my life and makes my life possible.
When I am still, I can feel the beat of my heart. Every beat of my heart is an act of love, sustaining my life.
When I am still, I can feel the beat of my heart within my hands. Every beat of my heart sustains the life of my hands and every cell in my body.
I can imagine my heart saying the cells of my mind “Our love which art in heaven”
(We can define a (science based) heaven as a place where all the parts of your body (science based) love themselves as they (science based) love all the other parts of your body. When you heart beats, it is performing acts of (science based) love for all the cells of your heart, keeping them healthy. When your heart beats, it is performing acts of (science based) love for all the cells of your body, keeping them alive. All the cells of your body (science based) love your heart, performing their acts of (science based) love that sustain the life of your heart.
Realizing your body is a (science based) heaven gives us a new appreciation of your body.
All the organs of your body and all the cells of your body are performing acts of (science based) love that sustain their life, and sustain the life of every other organ and cell in your body.
The meditation continues "(science based) Hallowed be thy Name"
Something that is Holy is something that sustains life. The name “holy” and “hallowed” enhance life, and so thinking them and saying them are acts of (science based) love.
Thy Kingdom come
(What is the Kingdom of (science based) Love? We might imagine your consciousness is the King or Queen of all your cells. Your conscious mind is able to think about each of your cells, and perform acts of (science based) Love to sustain the life of each cell and all your cells. Within being aware it has happened, your conscious mind is the King or Queen of a (science based) heaven consisting of 27 trillion cells. We can meditate on this, and imagine how the Kingdom of (science based) Love within your body mind be spread so that all the world of people becomes a Kingdom of (science based) love, like the Kingdom of (science based) Love within your body.
We can think "May the Kingdom of (science based) Love within my body be realized by my mind. May the Kingdom of (science based) love within my body give me peace, knowing all the parts of my body will do the best they can to (science based) love all the other parts of my body.)"
Thy will be done
(May will of (science based) love be done throughout my body. What is the will of (science based) love? The will of (science based) love is to perform acts which sustain life, or enhance life, or perform acts which make life possible.)
on earth
(May the (science based) love within my body help the rest of the world perform acts of (science based) love throughout society here on earth.)
as it is in (my science based) heaven.
(As it is in the (science based heaven within my body.)
Give us this day our daily bread
(May the (science based) love in my mind be successful at finding food and providing food to my heart and all the parts of my body. May the (science based) love within all the plants that I eat be successful at growing and providing my body with food.) May the (science based) love within all the animals and living things that I eat be successful at helping them sustain their lives.
And forgive us our trespasses
(May the (science based) love within my mind forgive me for not treating others as well as I would like. May the (science based) love within the minds of others forgive me for not treating them as well as they would like. People may think I did not treat them very well. I will have trouble forgiving others for not treating me as well as I would like. They will have trouble forgiving me for not treating them as well as they would like. We all need this prayer to help forgive ourselves and others for not treating everyone as well as we would like. ) As we forgive those who trespass against us
(May I forgive others for not treating me as well as I would like.)
Lead us not into temptation
(May my thoughts be guided by the (science based) love within my mind so that I am not tempted to mistreat others.)
But deliver us from evil
(May the (science based) love within my mind be successful at avoiding evil thoughts and evil deeds of others..)
For thine is the Kingdom ((of science based) love. My mind constructs a world that is my Kingdom. With effort, I can make my world and my Kingdom a Kingdom of (science based) Love.)
and the power (the (science based) love of every cell in my body produces the power that gives me thoughts.))
and the glory ((the (science based) love within my body produces whatever glory I might recognize.) Glory is defined as "magnificence or great beauty.” This meditation on (science based) love can help us recognize whatever magnificence or beauty we might recognize. How do the 37 trillion cells of our body form a thought magnificent or beautiful. How do the cells of our eye perceive a picture that is magnificent or beautiful? These are mysteries we take for granted. This meditation might remind us of this great mystery.)
Without all these comments the meditation on the Love within us and around us simpler.
“Our love which art in heaven Hallowed be thy Name Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread And forgive us our trespasses As we forgive those who trespass against us Lead us not into temptation But deliver us from evil For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever.

I answered your question at Draft talk:Christine Muschik. But as general advice: 1) The rules for academics are different. You/re not trying to show substantial 3rd party reliable published sources, not press releases or blogs or postings or mere notices , you're trying to show "Influence in their field". Papers with high citations show an influence in their field. It's the very definition of what academic influence is: that people cite your work. As a rule of thumb, in biomed we want two or more papers over 100. it only works in science. In the humanities,we want 2 books from university or other academic presses, with 3rd party book reviews. 2) For GNG, it's not quantity of references that matter See WP:THREE, the best explanation I know of for what the GNG means in practice; you may have seen it cited at AfDs--it's a very short, but very influential essay.

Hi, Peaceray. First, I wanted to start by saying that I am relatively new to this platform. In the Church of England article, you have undone my correction with respect to the classification and orientation of the Anglican Church. As far as I knew, the classification within the Protestant movement of the Anglican Church is correct. I would like to know if something was wrong to fix it or to know if it was right as it was, if it was necessary to post sources or references, I am relatively new to this but all contributed in good faith. Thanks for your attention!— Preceding unsigned comment added by Albertogomez17 ( talk • contribs) 21:37, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
First the Church of England states in the creed and its foundational documents that it is still part of the Catholic Church so it does not agree that it has separated from the Catholic Church, it was separated from that part of the Catholic Church which is controlled from Rome.
In the first half of the 17th century, the Church of England and its associated Church of Ireland were presented by some Anglican divines as comprising a distinct Christian tradition, with theologies, structures, and forms of worship representing a different kind of middle way, or via media, between Protestantism and Catholicism – a perspective that came to be highly influential in later theories of Anglican identity and expressed in the description of Anglicanism as "Catholic and Reformed".[1]
The religious settlement that eventually emerged in the reign of Elizabeth gave the Church of England the distinctive identity that it still has today. It resulted in a Church that consciously retained a large amount of continuity with the Church of the Patristic and Medieval periods in terms of its use of the catholic creeds, its pattern of ministry, its buildings and aspects of its liturgy, but which also embodied Protestant insights in its theology and in the overall shape of its liturgical practice.

Hi, You reverted an edit of the Australian rules football article to remove a template questioning by whom the sport was "officially" known by a name. The referenced source is a publication by the Australian Football League Limited, an incorporated company, a private association with no official authority. The company (formerly named the Victorian Football League Limited - see asic.gov.au) is no longer a league of clubs as it is not controlled by its original member clubs, has an independent board (commission) and operates of its own volition following court rulings indicating it did not have a fiduciary relationship to the clubs. The South Melbourne "Swans" and Fitzroy "Lions" football clubs were bankrupted by indebtment to the company which took over and now owns some teams, retains veto control of others and has licenced or franchised new teams to owners. The company is unrepresentative of and unaccountable to the many Australian Football clubs and the huge Australian Football community. As a rapacious monopolistic company trying to control Australian Football, of course the AFL will pretend it has some "official" authority. Please do not lend credibility to the AFL's disinformation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.64.64.135 ( talk • contribs) 16:00, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
What makes it "official"? Only the ignorant call it AFL.
The Official Home of AFL. Putting aside your contest of the veracity of that statement, you might consider the template was inappropriate, as there was a statement & a citation that clearly supported it.
officially known asto
also calledmakes sense in this context. However, your questioning of the veracity & role of afl.com.au would be much better be directed to Talk:Australian rules football where editors more familiar with Australian rules football can better evaluate & discuss your argument. After all, I am a Yank who rarely follows sports, let alone those in Australia. I can only gauge edits by their summaries & the appropriates of template placing. IMHO, as I already stated, this edit was inappropriate because it appeared to be biased based on the edit summary & because there was a citation that seemed to support it.

I reverted those edits on Python anyway because it was already in the citations and I don't the point of calling out a specific ranking in a specific survey. It's just the opinions of Stack Overflow users who hear about and answer surveys, not software developers in general anyway. Akeosnhaoe ( talk) 14:54, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
The lead should stand on its own as a concise overview of the article's topicthat should
summarize the most important points. Details are best left for the body of the article. To pull a detail from the twenty-something table of the third of five citations hardly strikes me as part of concise summary. It puts us rather deep in the brush of the jungle when we are striving for a 10,000 feet (3,000 m) view, don't you think?
Python consistently ranks as one of the most popular programming languagessuffices. Peaceray ( talk) 16:22, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your help reverting the CFD templates from category pages per the nomination at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2021 May 16#Empty expert subject categories.
For info, this would otherwise have been handled by a bot, as programmed by Lee Vilenski here [8] (albeit the syntax needed a slight change).
The bot would also have added {{ Old CfD}} to the talk pages. However, I think it won't do that now that the CFD templates have already been removed from the category pages. I've added it manually at Category talk:Wikipedia articles needing expert attention. Feel free to paste that onto the talk pages of some of the other categories if you think it might be noticed for future reference. – Fayenatic London 20:26, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
Hi Peaceray! I didn't did just to vandalize the page, actually I found that other sources are contrary to that specific edit (which have been reverted) so I removed it. Kindly can you undo it?

I am quite confident in asserting that the nicknames of the Hawaiian Islands is just that, Islands. For instance, the main local newspaper in Kaua'i is The Garden Island, the term "isle" is only something that exists on the internet from what I have seen. However, this is hard to source as most online publications beyond Hawaii erroneously use the word "isle". Weather this is a mistranslation from the original Hawaiian I can not say. However, what I know beyond doubt and anyone who has lived in these islands can tell you is that the phrase "Isle" is never said here. We don't say "The Big Isle" for Hawaii Island do we? — Preceding unsigned comment added by KingDario ( talk • contribs) 13:57 30 May 2021 (UTC)
anyone who has lived in these islands can tell you is that the phrase "Isle" is never said here.contradicts my experience of living for nearly 14 years on "The Gathering Place", working as a part-time reference librarian at HPU (which hosted the Hawaiʻi Pacific special collection, BTW), & seeing those Isle nicknames splashed all over tourist literature. I will take these Hawaiʻi sources over your undocumented assertions.
The unprecedented surge of COVID-19 cases on the mainland and the rise in community spread on Kaua‘i are of significant concern for the Garden Isle.— Gov.

María Teresa Sesé looks interesting ... but Wikidata says that according to the National Library of Portugal she died in 2019. All 3 articles on her have this in their infoboxes but not in their text, so I think it's pretty unlikely. I don't know what we need to do about dodgy info in Wikidata, but if you have any Wikidata geeks among your centenarian-focussed fellow-editors they might like to take it up.

If I had reverted it then after you had challenged the lack of citations, then an {{ uw-unsourced1}} level one warning might have been appropriate. I therefore think the {{ uw-unsourced2}} level two warning was inappropriate & shows a lack of WP:AGF. I leave it here for other editors to judge.
Hi User:Peaceray how are you, can you take a look at this article Draft:Samuel Jacobs (journalist) If it's encyclopedic, can you move the draft, to the article's main space? -- Hasan AB123 ( talk) 05:22, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

The user, Special:Contributions/178.202.82.89, just blanked his own talk page. Could you please revert the blank right now and warn that user not to do such a thing like that again? AdamDeanHall ( talk) 19:25, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
Although archiving is preferred, users may freely remove comments from their own talk pages. Users may also remove some content in archiving. The removal of a warning is taken as evidence that the warning has been read by the user. This specifically includes both registered and unregistered users. Some new users believe they can hide critical comments by deleting them. This is not true: Such comments can always be retrieved from the page history.
Sorry, I am new to editing wiki. How do we justify calling Sally Ride a lesbian, instead of bisexuality? Heck, she married a man. Dus she disavow her interest in men? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.241.161.165 ( talk) 04:08, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
But coming out doesn't seem to have occurred to her and certainly would have jeopardized her chance to go to space if not killed it outright. Around 1990-seven years after Ride's historic flight-NASA management quietly ordered a working group of physicians to declare homosexuality a 'psychiatrically disqualifying condition.' (The rule didn't end up going through, and although no astronaut has ever come out, NASA says it doesn't discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation.)

Guild of Copy Editors September 2021 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the September GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2021. Current and upcoming events
September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Drive and Blitz reports
June Blitz: From 20 to 26 June, 6 participating editors claimed 16 copy edits, focusing on requests and articles tagged in March and April. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: Almost 575,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 24 people who signed up, 18 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 15 to 21 August, we copy edited articles tagged in April and May 2021 and requests. 9 participating editors completed 17 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Other news
June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. New maintenance template added to our project scope: After a short discussion in June, we added {{ cleanup tense}} to the list of maintenance templates that adds articles to the Guild's copy editing backlog categories. This change added 198 articles, spread over 97 months of backlog, to our queue. We processed all of those articles except for those from the three or four most recent months during the July backlog elimination drive (Here's a link to a "tense" discussion during the drive). Progress report: As of 18:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have processed 468 requests since 1 January and there were 60 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (see monthly progress graph above). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from

Please take a look at this Block evasion.

I was looking at a page on a subject involving Botswana, and in several places it uses the form "Botswanan". This is regarded as an incorrect form locally, for reasons to do with Bantu grammar. Better would be "Botswana citizenship" for example. I thought of changing it, but do I need to provide a reference? The form "Botswanan" is however used outside the country to some extent, though seldom by experts. I am new to this, should I raise the issue on Talk or something first? Perhaps I should mention here that I am a historian of the region. Thanks MirrorSquirrel ( talk) 19:45, 8 November 2021 (UTC).
=="Botswanan" is incorrect usage for the region==
, then explain the how & why of it being incorrect. Listing a citation or two showing that "Botswanan" is incorrect" or that the correct method would be something like "Botswana citizenship" would buttress your statements. Then when you make your change, your edit summary can be something like Removing "Botswana" as incorrect, replacing with the locally acceptable "Botswana citizenship". Please see talk page for details.
I disagree with you regarding education. If someone doesn't have a degree than they don't have the education. Hence, the only education that Ms. Holmes has is the high school one. She studied at the university for 2 months only. To list a university education in her profile is an insult to all the people who actually had to work towards getting their education. There's no such thing like an "incomplete degree". There either is a degree or there is not, nothing in between. It looks like your approach is not neutral. I don't think a university degree should be listed in her short bio because she does not have one. The fact she studied at Stanford for a short while is mentioned in detail in the article which is absolutely fine but it should not be listed in the summary because she does NOT have a university education, she left school at 19. A propos, she's not just an accused fraudster, she IS a fraudster. The lies have already been exposed, regardless of where legal proceedings are at. TerraPax ( talk) 07:26, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
a former student who has either attended or graduated in some fashion from the institution.Thus, Holmes would be considered an alumna of Stanford.

Guild of Copy Editors December 2021 Newsletter
Hello and welcome to the December GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since September 2021. Current and upcoming events
Election time: Our end-of-year election of coordinators opened for nominations on 1 December and will close on 15 December at 23:59 (UTC). Voting opens at 00:01 the following day and will continue until 31 December at 23:59, just before " Auld Lang Syne". Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. December Blitz: We have scheduled a week-long copy-editing blitz for 12 to 18 December. Sign up now! Drive and Blitz reports
September Drive: Almost 400,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 27 people who signed up, 21 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. October Blitz: From 17 to 23 October, we copy edited articles tagged in May and June 2021 and requests. 8 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. November Drive: Over 350,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 21 people who signed up, 14 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. Other news
It is with great sadness that we report the death on 19 November of Twofingered Typist, who was active with the Guild almost daily for the past several years. His contributions long exceeded the thresholds for the Guild's highest awards, and he had a hand in innumerable good and featured article promotions as a willing collaborator. Twofingered Typist also served as a Guild coordinator from July 2019 to June 2021. He is sorely missed by the Wikipedia community. Progress report: As of 30 November, GOCE copyeditors have completed 619 requests in 2021 and there were 51 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog stood at 946 articles tagged for copy-editing (see monthly progress graph above). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from

Hi!
Thanks for attending the Pre-ISBN/ISSN bibliographic data workshop at WikidataCon 2021. It would be great to continue the conversation with you at Linked Pasts VII, a free online conference held 13-21 December.
Simon Cobb and I will be leading two activities Monday and Wednesday: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Marianika/Linked_Pasts_VII
Whether or not you can attend, if you're still interested in historical bibliographic data, could you please add your name and/or projects to this page I created for the wider initiative of getting people in academia and/or in the GLAM sector and/or in the Wiki communities to talk about how to model their historical bibliographic data (pre-ISBN/ISSN/ISMN):
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Marianika/Historical_Bibliographic_Data
If you're no longer interested, you can also let me know and I'll stop bugging you, ;- )
See you again next week perhaps! Marianika ( talk) 17:33, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
