Ray, could you give me something to include in The Signpost regarding the role of chatbots in Wikimedia projects, particularly Wikipedia? I saw your note at VPM and am intrigued where you see this going. ☆ Bri ( talk) 19:33, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
Hello Peaceray. You left a lovely welcome message on my user page back in November, which was much appreciated as I've already used many of the linked resources. I'm still struggling, though, to attract editor interest in the request I posted on the Issue One Talk page. I've left notices about the request on several WikiProject Talk pages (including WikiProject Politics & WikiProject Organizations) and on the Talk pages of editors who have been active with the article in the past, but I haven't received any responses. Is there anywhere else I can reach out to for help? I know the COI requested edits backlog is high and I'm not trying to jump to the front of the line. But my request seems pretty straightforward, so I'm hoping to at least get some feedback. Any help you can provide would be appreciated! AR at Issue One ( talk) 18:45, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
Definitely worth doing this for repeat offenders, but make sure you aren't warning them for an edit that they've already been warned about, or one that pre-dates a similar edit that they've received a warning for. In cases where it was an innocent mistake, we risk making a user's talk page look like they've ignored four warnings in a row when in fact it's the first they've heard of it.
I may have jumped the gun a little in taking 213.107.48.109's warnings to level 4 when two of those warnings were for older edits, but probably no harm done in the long run. Belbury ( talk) 15:49, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

❯❯❯ Raydann (Talk) 18:01, 11 February 2023 (UTC)Hi - I appreciate you being open to being contacted. So, I posted an edit suggestion on the talk page of the clitoris page. I can't tell if the moderators have read it - how do I know this and get a response..? I have suggested this edit before and there is literally no justification for it not to happen in my view. Also, once they refuse it (which they no doubt will) how does one appeal..? There doesn't seem to be a democratic / reasonable assessment of edit suggestions. As an aside, this whole wiki platform is not user friendly to the point where I almost feel it's done on purpose to ensure that only the most tenacious casual editors to have their ideas truly heard.

Hello Peaceray, I hope you're well! I am reaching out to you because you said I could talk on your talk page when you sent me a welcome message (thank you again!).
I'm new to Wikipedia editing as you know, but I am very concerned about the way this article has been changed over the last 2 days: Sacheen Littlefeather.
I explained some of these concerning edits on the article's talk page at 12:08, 15 March 2023 (UTC), 12:27, 15 March 2023 (UTC), 12:28, 15 March 2023 (UTC) (and there's more concerning facts I discovered).
If you could read those comments of mine in the talk page and let me know your thoughts, I would really appreciate it. It honestly looks like someone is trying to censor and hide the academic research and journalism has gone into it.
Thank you! One More Scientist ( talk) 12:42, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
Howdy Peaceray, first of all, sorry to belabor the issues with the discussion just above this one, but I wanted to give you a heads up that after you removed the Post refs at this article (a move with which I agree), one was subsequently reinstated, and so I opened a topic at WP:RSN asking for other opinions. Just felt I should let you know. Have a nice day! Dumuzid ( talk) 14:11, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

At WP:Talk#Did attempts to change POV in this list go too far & make it more biased?. How did you pick those editors, some of whose edits are a long time ago? Doug Weller talk 09:20, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
it is perfectly acceptable to notify other editors of ongoing discussions, provided that it be done with the intent to improve the quality of the discussion by broadening participation to more fully achieve consensus&
don't preselect recipients according to their established opinions. Be open!It is arguable as to whether I have managed to
keep the number of notifications smallas I usually seek to contact the most involved editors. In retrospect, my choice of heading may have violated
keep the message text neutral, but I did attempt to soften it by posing as a question. Perhaps it was a poor way to indicate "is it just me, or do I sense a POV edit here?" Peaceray ( talk) 14:25, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
Hello Peaceray.
This is just a little note that the welcome template / script that you use is now leaving double signatures, example.
Also, being the one who welcomed me on my talk page five months ago, thanks for the late, but warm welcome. I appreciate it. I started editing Wikipedia 1.5 months before it. Since then, I have learned a lot of the processes of editing Wikipedia, how articles are best written, resolving disputes, dealing with vandalism, features that I didn't know exist, etc. The links in the welcome message definitely helped me along the way there.
Regards, — AP 499D25 (talk) 04:34, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
Update: I just had a look at the revision history of the WelcomeMenu template that you use, and it appears that the "automatic" / built-in signature was moved from inside the box to below it, and this change was just made a couple of days ago, which makes a lot of sense to me as to why the script you use would now be leaving double sigs – I'm guessing you had a signature manually placed at the end of the template, so people can reply to it at the bottom, instead of in the box which would create a mess. Best regards, — AP 499D25 (talk) 04:49, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello Peaceway: There’s a problem with new account IntrotoComm, to whom you sent a welcome message today, so I’m hoping you might know how to handle it. If you look at the most recent edits to Microaggression, you’ll see IntrotoComm’s edit on April 20, which I reverted because it was poorly sourced, didn’t make much sense, and had general CIR issues. That’s IntrotoComm’s only edit. A few hours later there’s another low-quality edit by user Doggie98011, which I also reverted per WP:UNDUE, followed by another such edit by user Brooklynmdh. Each of the three accounts (IntrotoComm, Doggie98011, and Brooklynmdh) has only one edit, and most likely it’s the same person. None of them has an active talk-page, except for your welcome message to IntrotoComm. I’d rather handle this without the drama of ANI or SPI. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Here, you removed, with no edit summary, a very well known quote (try googling it) from the lead of Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood an hour after an ip's only edit claimed it "failed verification" to the academic source referenced. For an experienced editor this is astonishing. Johnbod ( talk) 15:26, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
All quotations, and any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, must include an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the material.The quote in this case lacked a citation, so I followed policy:
Any material that needs an inline citation but does not have one may be removed.Peaceray ( talk) 03:46, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
"May be removed" doesn't mean "should removed an hour after a tag by a first-time ip editorI evaluate edits on their merits, & I find that IP editors, even first ones, usually have beneficial edits, although obviously many do not. In this case, the editor knew enough to correctly place the {{ Failed verification}} template, so I rather doubt this was a total newbie even if they left no edit summary.
Why do you only "sometimes" try to find a a good cite?It is all about context. It there is material that obviously absurd or vandalism, material without citation that violates WP:BLP, or quoted material or figures without a citation, I remove it. This material included an exact quote that failed verification, so as mentioned above, removing it was totally in line with WP:V. I do a lot of page patrol & citation improvements. Sometimes when someone has added material that looks legit & I will attempt to find a citation. If I find one, I will add it; if not, I will remove the material as unverifiable. You can check my recent edits to Elizabeth Siddal or Clara Bow to see the lengths to which I go.
I came here to protest about your edit pretty soon after I added the good ref.Mea culpa — I am sorry, I did get the sequence wrong. I was certainly hasty, as I was editing either first thing in the morning or last thing at night, as I have been on holiday attending a film festival. However, I would have appreciated some acknowledgement that the citation was there had failed verification & some notice that you had found a correct citation. The statement that
For an experienced editor this is astonishingseemed to be a lack of WP:AGF when in fact I was following WP:V. I tend to get testy when I feel attacked for following policy.
You know, per WP:CITEVAR, you are supposed to ask on talk before changing the citation style? Johnbod ( talk) 01:33, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
Editors should not attempt to change an article's established citation style merely on the grounds of personal preference, to make it match other articles, or without first seeking consensus for the change.
improving existing citations by adding missing information, such as by replacing bare URLs with full bibliographic citations: an improvement because it aids verifiability, and fights link rot;
<ref>Treuherz, J. (2003). "Pre-Raphaelitism". Grove Art Online.</ref>
[...] an improvement because it provides more verifiable information to the reader, and helps maintain text–source integrity
<ref>Hilton, 46</ref>
, which is an unlinked
shortened footnote
My edit here put the full citation into {{
cite book}} format, which automatically generates a |ref=
parameter. I also added publisher, OCLC#, and a url parameters to make it a "full bibliographic citation". I then converted the unlinked shortened footnote into one that was linked. I believe that this certainly "provides more verifiable information to the reader" by allowing a user to click on the shortened footnote link to get to the full citation.combining duplicate citations
{{harvnb|Hilton|1971}}
construct.<ref>Dearden (1999), p. 43.</ref>
, that referenced another footnote. This is not in line with
Help:Shortened footnotes; a shortened footnote should always point to a full citation, usually in a
references list such as the
Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood#Sources section). In this case,
my edit here moved the full citation into the sources section then converted the p. 43

hello peaceray i want to know that can i create an article on the topic of crime which was happened recently in tamil nadu, India.They cheated the people with the name of beldex investment company.can you please tell me that, is it can be an article or not MICHAEL 942006 ( talk) 10:48, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
a topic of crime, the Wikipedia:Notability (events) guideline would apply.
On 2001: A Space Odyssey (film), you reverted an edit without really understanding my intent, I believe. I didn't 'speculate' that the monolith moved, what I meant to indicate is that we do not *know* if the monolith moved. We have absolutely no context, proof, discussion, validation that it is or is not the same monolith from that start of the movie. It could be a second monolith, it could be the first, moved. Thus without knowing if it is a second, or the first moved, stating that the monolith out at Jupiter is a *third* monolith is 'leading the reader'. The true speculation is "this is a third monolith".
I do not like to see "ideas" put into people's heads as fact, and in any summary, the reader will not have the same nuance we have after watching the film. To the reader of any such summary, something stated as 'third', will be taken as something with some context or validation behind it.
So I ask you, do we *know*, 100% know that it is not the monolith from Earth, 4M years ago? Do we 100% know that it is? In as we don't know, we should not start counting, start speculating that there is a second one. And as it is trivial to NOT say 'third', why would we lead the reader to a conclusion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.83.170.121 ( talk) 08:53, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I am not familiar with the English Wikipedia so I hoped you could help me with something. An article I wrote was deleted recently because "there were not enough independent sources". It was called "Stips (Israeli website)". I agree that there weren't enough sources but I believe deleting the whole article is an exaggeration. I thought to make the article a draft again and not to publish it until I find more sources. Is it possible? I worked on it really hard and I fear it will be deleted completely. Thanks! אוהד בר-און ( talk) 13:52, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
Dear Peaceray, The page on Wikipedia Italian "Influenza di Giovanni Florio sulle opere shakespeariane" doesn't cover the topic dealt on the page "Florian theory of Shakespeare authorship" in English. The page doesn't cover the theory of Florio as someone who wrote Shakespeare' works, but the influence of John Florio on Shakespeare's works. They are two different topics and two different pages should be created! 2001:B07:A99:CEEA:A982:655F:7A0B:2A7F ( talk) 22:16, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
Hi, Peaceray. Thanks for your note. Sorry to have violated any principles of the 'Pedia. Big problem is, the points I made, about the fluidity of classifications in SF (and, I suppose, most kinds of human knowledge), would be hard to endorse with citations, being based on some 60 years of living in the SF community and several decades of writing the occasional SF story or novel: mostly pub conversations and fanzine chatter. But I take your point. I like the Big W a lot and have even dribbled a few pence its way as a tip (AFAIK from the note apparently once stuck on prominently displayed jars in those old cafes you talk about elsewhere -- "To Insure Promptness"). Thrive, AMS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C6:F4C4:5101:211:24FF:FE8B:FFEC ( talk) 06:10, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello Peaceray, James Cook's crimes per this here site are well documented. Are those sources adequate? why is it "neutral" to omit from the text that he had a part in getting killed? He stole people, goods, grave markers, a local politician, and then he was executed. Please elaborate on how "he was killed in the islands" adequately encapsulates the circumstances, neutrally. Please compare and contrast with Jimmy Hoffa, Alexander Litvinenko, Mussolini if you have the integrity to actually address this concern.

hello peaceray i want to know that how can I put afd in article MICHAEL 942006 ( talk) 16:18, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
Hello and kind regards! One was removed by another admin, she stated that Wikipedia is not a travel page: "Unsourced; also: this isn't a tourist website, so this kind of information is misplaced on Wikipedia)". And this was my suggestion for a new chapter "Visitor information": "The Seventh Fort is a private property and it cannot be visited inside. To an official inquiry at Sepintasfortas.lt we got the following reply: "Hello, you can visit Fort outside only, it is free, any time you want."" In my opinion admins shouldn't be undemocratic and dictators, just remove something alone, it should be discussed with other admins also. I spent time to write the email to the officials of Seventh Fort Kaunas and then I thought I will share this useful information with other. Many tourists use Wikipedia for planning a trip, so do I. Sharing is caring. So I am kinda upset about this, I invested time for the edit, and then it was removed very soon.

About this comment: I don't remember ever seeing any sanctions against someone for using a shortened form of someone else's username. Calling "User:FirstLastname" by "First" involves exactly as few policy violations as calling you "Peace" or me "What".

Ianmckeachie Has previously uploaded Youtube Videos indicating that he is opposed to the Declaration that was released and is therefore a biased editor.
Personal information includes real-life name. While I know that a " slippery slope" argument can be a logical fallacy, Himagics8's earlier comment did seem to encourage others to post more sensitive personal information.
I remind you to use usernames rather than alleged first names. Doing the latter violates our Wikipedia:Harassment#Posting of personal information policy.It is my interpretation that anything that points to a off-wiki identity violates this policy, at least in spirit. I think that my interpretation of that policy was useful in this instance, given the posting of personal information by Biropalmistry & Editor-37921 following Himagics8's comments about Ianmckeachie's off-site behavior. I think that my warnings were beneficial & educational, because unabated continuance of that behavior would have probably led to blocking of one or more editors.
Personal information includes real-life namein the wake of
Dredging up their off-site opinions to repeatedly challenge their edits can be a form of harassment,... Thank you for your perspective in this. In retrospect, I do wish I had used softer language & made the use of the account name rather than the first name more of a request than a demand, & had separated that request from the allusions to the doxing behavior that had taken place. I will add a statement to that conversation apologizing for my overstep & clarifying the policy.

WCNA 2023 Barncompass | ||
Thank you for all your planning work behind the scenes, which ensured that the conference went as smoothly as it could be. I am awarding this barncompass to you. (Barncompass originated in Wikivoyage as a response to Wikipedia's barnstar. Since everyone travelled long distance for the conference and would have no doubt pulled out a map app at some point, awarding a barncompass is probably as fitting as a barnstar.)

Hi. I got a welcome message from you a few days ago, which surprised me since I’ve been a registered user since 2006. Perhaps I “leveled up” to more than 50 contributions?
I’ve been working on a draft new page, my first, about a newspaper from the 1970s-1980s: Draft:PLEXUS West Coast Women’s Press. It is quite minimal, a stub, but I’m close to submitting it for review. It contains two images, neither of which have clear/explicit copyright permission. As a result both are tagged “the file could be deleted seven days after the upload.” I waited the seven days to see if they disappeared, and a bit more time because of the American Thanksgiving holiday, but they are still there. I don’t know how these things work. Are they still subject to deletion at any time?
One of the images, an early staff photo, was published by the Berkeley Barb whose full archive is now available open access on JSTOR. I have gotten in touch with the copyright owner, oldest child of the now deceased publisher. They indicated an intent to give me permission to use the photo from their article, but they are traveling overseas right now. I could use some advice about how to convert that intent into a form that Wikipedia will accept.
I’d be happy for any pre-review suggestions you have for my draft article.

Ray, could you give me something to include in The Signpost regarding the role of chatbots in Wikimedia projects, particularly Wikipedia? I saw your note at VPM and am intrigued where you see this going. ☆ Bri ( talk) 19:33, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
Hello Peaceray. You left a lovely welcome message on my user page back in November, which was much appreciated as I've already used many of the linked resources. I'm still struggling, though, to attract editor interest in the request I posted on the Issue One Talk page. I've left notices about the request on several WikiProject Talk pages (including WikiProject Politics & WikiProject Organizations) and on the Talk pages of editors who have been active with the article in the past, but I haven't received any responses. Is there anywhere else I can reach out to for help? I know the COI requested edits backlog is high and I'm not trying to jump to the front of the line. But my request seems pretty straightforward, so I'm hoping to at least get some feedback. Any help you can provide would be appreciated! AR at Issue One ( talk) 18:45, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
Definitely worth doing this for repeat offenders, but make sure you aren't warning them for an edit that they've already been warned about, or one that pre-dates a similar edit that they've received a warning for. In cases where it was an innocent mistake, we risk making a user's talk page look like they've ignored four warnings in a row when in fact it's the first they've heard of it.
I may have jumped the gun a little in taking 213.107.48.109's warnings to level 4 when two of those warnings were for older edits, but probably no harm done in the long run. Belbury ( talk) 15:49, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:CrypticonSeattle logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 18:23, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

❯❯❯ Raydann (Talk) 18:01, 11 February 2023 (UTC)Hi - I appreciate you being open to being contacted. So, I posted an edit suggestion on the talk page of the clitoris page. I can't tell if the moderators have read it - how do I know this and get a response..? I have suggested this edit before and there is literally no justification for it not to happen in my view. Also, once they refuse it (which they no doubt will) how does one appeal..? There doesn't seem to be a democratic / reasonable assessment of edit suggestions. As an aside, this whole wiki platform is not user friendly to the point where I almost feel it's done on purpose to ensure that only the most tenacious casual editors to have their ideas truly heard.

Hello Peaceray, I hope you're well! I am reaching out to you because you said I could talk on your talk page when you sent me a welcome message (thank you again!).
I'm new to Wikipedia editing as you know, but I am very concerned about the way this article has been changed over the last 2 days: Sacheen Littlefeather.
I explained some of these concerning edits on the article's talk page at 12:08, 15 March 2023 (UTC), 12:27, 15 March 2023 (UTC), 12:28, 15 March 2023 (UTC) (and there's more concerning facts I discovered).
If you could read those comments of mine in the talk page and let me know your thoughts, I would really appreciate it. It honestly looks like someone is trying to censor and hide the academic research and journalism has gone into it.
Thank you! One More Scientist ( talk) 12:42, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
Howdy Peaceray, first of all, sorry to belabor the issues with the discussion just above this one, but I wanted to give you a heads up that after you removed the Post refs at this article (a move with which I agree), one was subsequently reinstated, and so I opened a topic at WP:RSN asking for other opinions. Just felt I should let you know. Have a nice day! Dumuzid ( talk) 14:11, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

it is perfectly acceptable to notify other editors of ongoing discussions, provided that it be done with the intent to improve the quality of the discussion by broadening participation to more fully achieve consensus&
don't preselect recipients according to their established opinions. Be open!It is arguable as to whether I have managed to
keep the number of notifications smallas I usually seek to contact the most involved editors. In retrospect, my choice of heading may have violated
keep the message text neutral, but I did attempt to soften it by posing as a question. Perhaps it was a poor way to indicate "is it just me, or do I sense a POV edit here?" Peaceray ( talk) 14:25, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
Hello Peaceray.
This is just a little note that the welcome template / script that you use is now leaving double signatures, example.
Also, being the one who welcomed me on my talk page five months ago, thanks for the late, but warm welcome. I appreciate it. I started editing Wikipedia 1.5 months before it. Since then, I have learned a lot of the processes of editing Wikipedia, how articles are best written, resolving disputes, dealing with vandalism, features that I didn't know exist, etc. The links in the welcome message definitely helped me along the way there.
Regards, — AP 499D25 (talk) 04:34, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
Update: I just had a look at the revision history of the WelcomeMenu template that you use, and it appears that the "automatic" / built-in signature was moved from inside the box to below it, and this change was just made a couple of days ago, which makes a lot of sense to me as to why the script you use would now be leaving double sigs – I'm guessing you had a signature manually placed at the end of the template, so people can reply to it at the bottom, instead of in the box which would create a mess. Best regards, — AP 499D25 (talk) 04:49, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello Peaceway: There’s a problem with new account IntrotoComm, to whom you sent a welcome message today, so I’m hoping you might know how to handle it. If you look at the most recent edits to Microaggression, you’ll see IntrotoComm’s edit on April 20, which I reverted because it was poorly sourced, didn’t make much sense, and had general CIR issues. That’s IntrotoComm’s only edit. A few hours later there’s another low-quality edit by user Doggie98011, which I also reverted per WP:UNDUE, followed by another such edit by user Brooklynmdh. Each of the three accounts (IntrotoComm, Doggie98011, and Brooklynmdh) has only one edit, and most likely it’s the same person. None of them has an active talk-page, except for your welcome message to IntrotoComm. I’d rather handle this without the drama of ANI or SPI. Any suggestions? Thanks.

On 20 May 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Elizabeth Siddal, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the coffin of Elizabeth Siddal (pictured) was exhumed at her widower's request to retrieve a book of poetry? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Elizabeth Siddal. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Elizabeth Siddal), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Here, you removed, with no edit summary, a very well known quote (try googling it) from the lead of Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood an hour after an ip's only edit claimed it "failed verification" to the academic source referenced. For an experienced editor this is astonishing. Johnbod ( talk) 15:26, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
All quotations, and any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, must include an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the material.The quote in this case lacked a citation, so I followed policy:
Any material that needs an inline citation but does not have one may be removed.Peaceray ( talk) 03:46, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
"May be removed" doesn't mean "should removed an hour after a tag by a first-time ip editorI evaluate edits on their merits, & I find that IP editors, even first ones, usually have beneficial edits, although obviously many do not. In this case, the editor knew enough to correctly place the {{ Failed verification}} template, so I rather doubt this was a total newbie even if they left no edit summary.
Why do you only "sometimes" try to find a a good cite?It is all about context. It there is material that obviously absurd or vandalism, material without citation that violates WP:BLP, or quoted material or figures without a citation, I remove it. This material included an exact quote that failed verification, so as mentioned above, removing it was totally in line with WP:V. I do a lot of page patrol & citation improvements. Sometimes when someone has added material that looks legit & I will attempt to find a citation. If I find one, I will add it; if not, I will remove the material as unverifiable. You can check my recent edits to Elizabeth Siddal or Clara Bow to see the lengths to which I go.
I came here to protest about your edit pretty soon after I added the good ref.Mea culpa — I am sorry, I did get the sequence wrong. I was certainly hasty, as I was editing either first thing in the morning or last thing at night, as I have been on holiday attending a film festival. However, I would have appreciated some acknowledgement that the citation was there had failed verification & some notice that you had found a correct citation. The statement that
For an experienced editor this is astonishingseemed to be a lack of WP:AGF when in fact I was following WP:V. I tend to get testy when I feel attacked for following policy.
You know, per WP:CITEVAR, you are supposed to ask on talk before changing the citation style? Johnbod ( talk) 01:33, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
Editors should not attempt to change an article's established citation style merely on the grounds of personal preference, to make it match other articles, or without first seeking consensus for the change.
improving existing citations by adding missing information, such as by replacing bare URLs with full bibliographic citations: an improvement because it aids verifiability, and fights link rot;
<ref>Treuherz, J. (2003). "Pre-Raphaelitism". Grove Art Online.</ref>
[...] an improvement because it provides more verifiable information to the reader, and helps maintain text–source integrity
<ref>Hilton, 46</ref>
, which is an unlinked
shortened footnote
My edit here put the full citation into {{
cite book}} format, which automatically generates a |ref=
parameter. I also added publisher, OCLC#, and a url parameters to make it a "full bibliographic citation". I then converted the unlinked shortened footnote into one that was linked. I believe that this certainly "provides more verifiable information to the reader" by allowing a user to click on the shortened footnote link to get to the full citation.combining duplicate citations
{{harvnb|Hilton|1971}}
construct.<ref>Dearden (1999), p. 43.</ref>
, that referenced another footnote. This is not in line with
Help:Shortened footnotes; a shortened footnote should always point to a full citation, usually in a
references list such as the
Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood#Sources section). In this case,

hello peaceray i want to know that can i create an article on the topic of crime which was happened recently in tamil nadu, India.They cheated the people with the name of beldex investment company.can you please tell me that, is it can be an article or not MICHAEL 942006 ( talk) 10:48, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
a topic of crime, the Wikipedia:Notability (events) guideline would apply.
On 2001: A Space Odyssey (film), you reverted an edit without really understanding my intent, I believe. I didn't 'speculate' that the monolith moved, what I meant to indicate is that we do not *know* if the monolith moved. We have absolutely no context, proof, discussion, validation that it is or is not the same monolith from that start of the movie. It could be a second monolith, it could be the first, moved. Thus without knowing if it is a second, or the first moved, stating that the monolith out at Jupiter is a *third* monolith is 'leading the reader'. The true speculation is "this is a third monolith".
I do not like to see "ideas" put into people's heads as fact, and in any summary, the reader will not have the same nuance we have after watching the film. To the reader of any such summary, something stated as 'third', will be taken as something with some context or validation behind it.
So I ask you, do we *know*, 100% know that it is not the monolith from Earth, 4M years ago? Do we 100% know that it is? In as we don't know, we should not start counting, start speculating that there is a second one. And as it is trivial to NOT say 'third', why would we lead the reader to a conclusion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.83.170.121 ( talk) 08:53, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I am not familiar with the English Wikipedia so I hoped you could help me with something. An article I wrote was deleted recently because "there were not enough independent sources". It was called "Stips (Israeli website)". I agree that there weren't enough sources but I believe deleting the whole article is an exaggeration. I thought to make the article a draft again and not to publish it until I find more sources. Is it possible? I worked on it really hard and I fear it will be deleted completely. Thanks! אוהד בר-און ( talk) 13:52, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
Dear Peaceray, The page on Wikipedia Italian "Influenza di Giovanni Florio sulle opere shakespeariane" doesn't cover the topic dealt on the page "Florian theory of Shakespeare authorship" in English. The page doesn't cover the theory of Florio as someone who wrote Shakespeare' works, but the influence of John Florio on Shakespeare's works. They are two different topics and two different pages should be created! 2001:B07:A99:CEEA:A982:655F:7A0B:2A7F ( talk) 22:16, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
Hi, Peaceray. Thanks for your note. Sorry to have violated any principles of the 'Pedia. Big problem is, the points I made, about the fluidity of classifications in SF (and, I suppose, most kinds of human knowledge), would be hard to endorse with citations, being based on some 60 years of living in the SF community and several decades of writing the occasional SF story or novel: mostly pub conversations and fanzine chatter. But I take your point. I like the Big W a lot and have even dribbled a few pence its way as a tip (AFAIK from the note apparently once stuck on prominently displayed jars in those old cafes you talk about elsewhere -- "To Insure Promptness"). Thrive, AMS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C6:F4C4:5101:211:24FF:FE8B:FFEC ( talk) 06:10, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello Peaceray, James Cook's crimes per this here site are well documented. Are those sources adequate? why is it "neutral" to omit from the text that he had a part in getting killed? He stole people, goods, grave markers, a local politician, and then he was executed. Please elaborate on how "he was killed in the islands" adequately encapsulates the circumstances, neutrally. Please compare and contrast with Jimmy Hoffa, Alexander Litvinenko, Mussolini if you have the integrity to actually address this concern.

Hello and kind regards! One was removed by another admin, she stated that Wikipedia is not a travel page: "Unsourced; also: this isn't a tourist website, so this kind of information is misplaced on Wikipedia)". And this was my suggestion for a new chapter "Visitor information": "The Seventh Fort is a private property and it cannot be visited inside. To an official inquiry at Sepintasfortas.lt we got the following reply: "Hello, you can visit Fort outside only, it is free, any time you want."" In my opinion admins shouldn't be undemocratic and dictators, just remove something alone, it should be discussed with other admins also. I spent time to write the email to the officials of Seventh Fort Kaunas and then I thought I will share this useful information with other. Many tourists use Wikipedia for planning a trip, so do I. Sharing is caring. So I am kinda upset about this, I invested time for the edit, and then it was removed very soon.

Seriously, why do you keep changing her DOB back to 21st Sept?? One journalist made a mistake and everyone celebrates it on the wrong day. What more accurate source do you need than her own daughter Nazia Ejaz or her own granddaughter Natasha Lakhani confirming that her actual DOB is 23rd Sept !! Why keep perpetuating the mistake that it’s on the 21st !!! I really don’t get it 2A02:6B61:1909:0:C4D9:8F5B:D7D6:B060 ( talk) 18:28, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

About this comment: I don't remember ever seeing any sanctions against someone for using a shortened form of someone else's username. Calling "User:FirstLastname" by "First" involves exactly as few policy violations as calling you "Peace" or me "What". Of course, if the person says they dislike nick names, then that's one thing, but that's for them to say, not the rest of us. WhatamIdoing ( talk) 23:08, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
Ianmckeachie Has previously uploaded Youtube Videos indicating that he is opposed to the Declaration that was released and is therefore a biased editor.
Personal information includes real-life name. While I know that a " slippery slope" argument can be a logical fallacy, Himagics8's earlier comment did seem to encourage others to post more sensitive personal information.
I remind you to use usernames rather than alleged first names. Doing the latter violates our Wikipedia:Harassment#Posting of personal information policy.It is my interpretation that anything that points to a off-wiki identity violates this policy, at least in spirit. I think that my interpretation of that policy was useful in this instance, given the posting of personal information by Biropalmistry & Editor-37921 following Himagics8's comments about Ianmckeachie's off-site behavior. I think that my warnings were beneficial & educational, because unabated continuance of that behavior would have probably led to blocking of one or more editors.
Personal information includes real-life namein the wake of
Dredging up their off-site opinions to repeatedly challenge their edits can be a form of harassment,... Thank you for your perspective in this. In retrospect, I do wish I had used softer language & made the use of the account name rather than the first name more of a request than a demand, & had separated that request from the allusions to the doxing behavior that had taken place. I will add a statement to that conversation apologizing for my overstep & clarifying the policy.

I volunteer to send out mass messages for these events, if you think it could be helpful, but it doesn't look like we have a list of wiki usernames to use, instead there's just the email list which I'm not sure is used. ( t · c) buidhe 01:17, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

WCNA 2023 Barncompass | ||
Thank you for all your planning work behind the scenes, which ensured that the conference went as smoothly as it could be. I am awarding this barncompass to you. (Barncompass originated in Wikivoyage as a response to Wikipedia's barnstar. Since everyone travelled long distance for the conference and would have no doubt pulled out a map app at some point, awarding a barncompass is probably as fitting as a barnstar.)

Hi. I got a welcome message from you a few days ago, which surprised me since I’ve been a registered user since 2006. Perhaps I “leveled up” to more than 50 contributions?
I’ve been working on a draft new page, my first, about a newspaper from the 1970s-1980s: Draft:PLEXUS West Coast Women’s Press. It is quite minimal, a stub, but I’m close to submitting it for review. It contains two images, neither of which have clear/explicit copyright permission. As a result both are tagged “the file could be deleted seven days after the upload.” I waited the seven days to see if they disappeared, and a bit more time because of the American Thanksgiving holiday, but they are still there. I don’t know how these things work. Are they still subject to deletion at any time?
One of the images, an early staff photo, was published by the Berkeley Barb whose full archive is now available open access on JSTOR. I have gotten in touch with the copyright owner, oldest child of the now deceased publisher. They indicated an intent to give me permission to use the photo from their article, but they are traveling overseas right now. I could use some advice about how to convert that intent into a form that Wikipedia will accept.
I’d be happy for any pre-review suggestions you have for my draft article.
