Looking at Template_talk:Cite_book, there were some changes made to the "cite book" template yesterday which have broken the language field (which seems like a bug), and altered the page field (which a bot is apparently correcting as we speak). The full-stop at the end of the quote may well be a related issue, if you want to raise it there. -- McGeddon ( talk) 12:32, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Dear Racconish,
As I am sure you noticed, I have put your Charvet article up for review. It ought to go through with little to no changes, so I hope that is alright. I think the article is looking very nice now, and might as well be recognised as such.

Have you got a declared COI in this shop? Off2riorob ( talk) 10:50, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for commenting, I agree with you about COI , if edited decently there is no problem, and you clearly do that, I appreciate your honesty though. Chavez gets a lot of flak, people publish many things about him, myself I don't mind if he has shirts but as it is a bit controversial I would say really strong citation is in order or a picture of him in a shirt would be great or him commenting in an interview himself that he likes the shirts, I think you don't mind either way about chavez politically but you simply want to include the notable people on the list, which is understandable, of course we can add it if a clear citation appears as well one might, I have a feeling that he could well have a couple of those shirts for best . regards for now.

On Smock-frock, the reason I repositioned the photo is so it wouldn't show the gap. I think the article would look better if it didn't have a gap in it. I was just being thoughtful. I see why you would think it's useless. But, personally, I prefer an article clean and without gaps and long lines of unecessary space. 173.57.186.123 ( talk) 04:31, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
Regarding this edit could you expand on the talk page the ways the article is out of date and if there are any new sources around? Cheers,-- Commander Keane ( talk) 03:14, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I thought I'd bring this to talk, rather than simply annoy you by forever changing edits! I completely see what you mean about "two meanings", and I have no special knowledge of this slang use of the word "yoke", it was already in the article; but as it stands there really is some duplication going on there, which ought to be compressed - "Slang term … mostly in Ireland". After all, it is only a disambiguation page. I thought I'd covered the "two meanings" aspect with my edit 356011407, which set it out in the format "Slang term for x, also y", i.e., "two meanings". Maybe have another look at that? Or perhaps we can compromise on a more explicit statement? How about:
Let me know what you think. Cheers. Nortonius ( talk) 20:48, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
I've declined the speedy on this for one simple reason — it was created before the other article on the same topic. I've not deleted the other page because it's closer to being a decent article. Could you propose a merger as you see best? Nyttend ( talk) 04:17, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi, You removed my addition "Less conventional fabrics include velvet and satin." with the comment "previous sentences relate to fibers". I totally agree with your rationale. The problem is that the 'Types of shirting Fabrics' section of that article completely omits a macro view of different fabrics used in shirt-making and leaps straight into the micro view of the actual fibres used in making fabrics. Ideally, it would be good to preface that section with a sentence or two giving an overview of the different fabrics (giving the opportunity to mention velvet, satin and a few other fabrics used) before getting into the nitty-gritty of fibres. But I don't have time at the moment. Your thoughts?

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, and for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. — Tivedshambo ( t/ c) 16:55, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.
If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:16, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I removed the db-bio tag you placed on this article. This type of deletion is only appropriate for articles that don't contain any credible assertions of notability. This article contains many such assertions (the whole "Research" section for example). Them From Space 15:20, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi! I, Compactembedding, am the author of Peter Hästö. Thank you for all! When I wrote this article, I provided all sources that you can check. You very carelessly edited what I wrote. Now I lost my patience, since you, Racconish, have suspected me as a "bad guy". My final decision is "would you please delete my article?". As a researcher, I do not accept such a way to insult the other. I planned to write more with a short survey about Peter's contributions. But I guess this will also be deleted. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Compactembedding ( talk • contribs) 02:18, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi Racconish! I decided to write about Peter because, besides his many publications, I found him have the book accepted by Springer "In 2010, his book entitled Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces with variable exponents (with L. Diening, P. Harjulehto and M. Růžička) was accepted to be published in Lecture Notes in Mathematics, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 2011. This is the first book about Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces in variable exponent settings. Sample chapters of this book can be found in [11]." You deleted this important part, so the article has become meaningless! Therefore I have one more reason for you to DELETE it. You claimed "prohibited purposes". Ok! Ok! Do you think referees or reviewers of journals and research projects are immature? Is that what you have learned to claim how I am? Any way, you can find out one more reason to delete the article! Fortunately, I did not set any "calling for donation", which many people are doing, in my article! Thank God! Compactembedding
Thank you for your excellent work on Association for Learned and Professional Society Publishers. This article can now easily survive the deletion nomination. -- DThomsen8 ( talk) 00:29, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for adding these - that's enabled several longstanding notices to be cleared from the article. It occurs to me that these sources may also be able to help clear the BLP notice from Franco Cerri who I'm sure is notable but I've never been able to find decent English sources to reference? And (a longer shot) maybe Bruno Marini too? AllyD ( talk) 09:55, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

i have edited this page 2x with more correct information yet i was rebuked by you for citing the League themselves for my sources for corrections. You claim that I violate Wikipedia rules. I disagree.
The very first citation given for the League Wikipage is the very League information that I cite in my edits. Furthermore, there are many subsequent citations using the very same source. How are my edits inappropriate?
I am attempting to fix the claims that the League is explicitly protestant christian, they are not, according to their web page. They are trinitarian. Trinitarianism is the very core of Christian Theology for Catholicism as well as some Protestant splinters. To attribute a purely protestant attitude towards the group with no information substantiating such a claim is what actually violates the wikipedia rules. Moreover, I also changed the claim that the League was a White Supremacist organization. I changed it b/c there is no citation given to substantiate such assertions. Of all the references cited at the end of the article, only the SPLC refers to them as such. Therefore it behooves anyone interested in learning about a particular organization to actually visit the home page of said organization.
When I did, I found that the League's definition of an Anglo-Celtic emphasis in their beliefs is was much more satisfactory considering the myriad of statements released by both League members as well as League critics. In fact, the SPLC itself merely claims the League is white supremacist by citing the League and its explanation of the ethnocentrism it emphasizes and then adding a ... see also... with no sources mentioned.
I quote the discussion page on the League wikipage by Wikipedia Administrator SlimVirgin: "When dealing with published sources not regarded as reputable enough to be used as sources of information on other people, we may nevertheless use them as sources of information on themselves if they have a Wikipedia page, but even then we proceed with caution. So for example, Stormfront may be used as a source if we want to know what Stormfront says about itself in the article about that group, but we don't use Stormfront as a source of information on Jews. We also don't repeat its views about Jews in the Stormfront article unless we're carefully selecting certain passages to illustrate what kind of organization it is. But we don't allow the Stormfront article to become a platform for Stormfront propaganda. Wikipedia is not an extension of other people's websites."
Again I say that such problems with my edits is ridiculous and makes no sense. I will edit again. As my edits are more accurate and offer more actual sources that were already used. SouthronAnalyst
Thank you for replying, but I remind you that the information that I changed was previously unsourced and unverifiable. My edits are sourced from the material provided by every reference at the bottom of the League article. If your concern were truly source and verification then I would have to ask that you edit the page by removing the objectionable material entirely.

Hi, I think you looked at the request for a third opinion on Talk:Jason Kenney#Galloway donation and removed it from the list, mentioning 'opinion given' when you saw a third opinion was given on other issues about Galloway in October.

Hello Racconish.
Thanks for your input.
Could you please clarify your objection to the category: "In popular culture". Clearly, the Gucci name and brand has had reverberations far beyond the circumscribed world of haute couture. Is there some reason why its impact in the wider world should be omitted? Whether this be in pop songs, contemporary literature, "Sex and the City" etc. etc., the fact remains that Gucci has become a bywords for things fashionable and desirable.Do you have specific objections to the reference by The Kinks? This critically acclaimed group, members of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the U.K. Hall of Fame (with its prolific and literate Ivor- Novello-Prize-winning songwriter Ray Davies, O.B.E., the creator of the song in question) can not justifiably or reasonably be deemed "trivial" by an impartial observer.
I look forward to your reply.

Dear Racconish, I am new to Wikipedia and don't doubt that you are a better editor than me and that you have your reasons for reverting my edits or requesting additional citations. I follow your lead and ask questions to you before any other editor on this specific page. (which you are extremely helpful) However, if you take a look on my "Talk Page", I have added requested full citations (which you are right to ask for) in addition to adding references for verification on new comments. This designer's website notes that she offers retail items in addition to her non-profit work. (I was recently gifted one of her cotton denim handbags) Other's websites such as the Girl Scouts and the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo mention cotton with the links provided. My intentions are not to be problematic, yet I am posting verifiable references that are not unreasonable. Additionally- I understand that it is a product page, yet we should mention her official designs (silk scarves and ties for adults and cotton bandanas for girls to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts of the USA. Each are designed in her style (take a look!) and Marisol is noted on each item as "New York fashion designer and former Girl Scout". Suggestions? Thank you.

Two things, firstly just because a source exists (in this case a primary one) does not mean it should be included. Secondly please do not remove the notability tag from the article unless you have added significant sources that address the subject in detail and list them on the talk page.

Please have a read of WP:3RR before you make any more edits to Marisol Deluna. Mtking ( talk) 06:16, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Marisol Deluna. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
In particular, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue edit warring, you may be blocked from editing. Sandstein 06:30, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
You are suspected of
sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the

Thank you both for reviewing the posted scanned or mentioned documents. What lead me to add to this discussion is the nature of my work as it appeared to be misunderstood and at times cruel on both sides of the debate. Perhaps mentions in reliable Texas publications are meaningless to establish "Notability", yet on what scale? As a fashion icon- of course not. Yet as a designer who returns, contributes and is acknowledged for their local and expanded outreach- yes, it does have relevancy. One a personal note, Racconish- You selflessly added value in the past to the article without knowing me. This is beyond humbling. I have already thanked Jesanj for the same.

Thanks for your recent New page patrol. Just to let you know, I've declined your speedy deletion nomination of Prof. Dr. V.

Hello Racconish. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Prof. Dr. V.

For rescuing the articles you wrote from speedy deletion. I dream of horses @ 17:06, 21 August 2011 (UTC) |
Hi Racconish,
I noticed you placed a prod tag on List of Iraqi artists citing Wikipedia:Listcruft. I have removed the prod tag because I do not think the reason you gave for deletion is a valid reason to delete a list. Wikipedia:Listcruft is an essay, meaning it does not necessarily have broad support among Wikipedia editors (as opposed to policies and guidelines, which do have broad support among editors). Beacuse essays do not necessarily have broad support among editors, they generally should not be given as the sole reason for deleting an article. In this case, there is also a guideline on the subject of lists and categories, WP:CLN, which states that lists and categories are complementary and that both can exist for the same topic. Furthermore, I don't think the entry from Wikipedia:Listcruft that you cited was actually met in this case, as this list contains additional content beyond links to other articles (such as a brief statement of what each artist is known for). Calathan ( talk) 21:50, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi Racconish, I looked at some of your recent article creations, and I have a little advice for you (I hope you don't mind :) Take a look at:
All the articles consist of one sentence, stating that: XY is a Lebanese painter/graphic artist. You don't forget to cite your sources, which is good ( Saudi Aramco World seems to be a reliable and important magazine/website). However, the content of the above mentioned articles is insufficient for inclusion in this encyclopedia. It is necessary to explain how is the painter/graphic artist significant for local Lebanese or world art scene, what is his/her contribution to the world of art. It is beneficial both to our readers and to this project, and moreover, it is a part of Wikipedia rules to explain why a subject is important or significant. Thanks for your understanding, and please don't hesitate to ask me any question regarding this. Best regards. Vejvančický ( talk | contribs) 13:07, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
FuFoFuEd ( talk · contribs) asked me about my opinion of this article yesterday. When I looked through the (endless!) citations, I couldn't find anything that wasn't either primary or trivial, causing me to expect that if it came up for AfD, that I would probably !vote to delete. But this morning I see you've been doing quite a bit of work on the article, which I doubt you'd be doing if you had any big concerns about notability. Were there some good sources in there that I missed? You already know I don't really know anything about fashion, so it's meaningless that I don't recognize his name. But maybe you do.

Hello Racconish, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Arbnesh, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: There is sufficient context to identify the subject of the article.

I put quite a bit of effort into turning the confusing mish-mash of verb tenses into something that is consistent and easier for the reader to understand, i.e., using the past tense to describe things that happen in the past. This is a standard style when writing in English that the reader will expect to see. I see that you have re-written the article, switching back and forth between the past and the present tense again:
I will wait for you to change this to the past tense. Also, I will ask you to review your edits carefully. I suspect that English is not your first language -- there are many grammatical and typographical errors. I also ask that you spend more time improving the existing text (it will help you to improve your English) before adding more content to this article or editing other articles. At this point, parts of the article are not comprehensible to English readers. Ground Zero | t 10:00, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
I wanted to get in touch with you in regards to my latest edits to Romapada Swami page. The content I edited was to respond to a willful vandalism attempted toward the person. I did see it to be under the category of "irrelevant obscenities". The referred link is not an authorized link but is a completely hoax entry. Please let me know if you want more information.
As a proof of my statement, here is a note from the person (Romapada Swami) whose page is being maintained:
1. I was associate director for Public Affairs from 1972-76. 2. I was NEVER Chairman of the Child Protection Office. 3. The reference made to "leaking" $2 million to the Long Island case is false on its face PLUS the language alone is derrogatory in nature.
Another question: How can I be authorized to change the picture used in the wiki page?

Hello, I was hoping to get some additional information on the crystal healing page as it does not quite clearly explain why the metaphysical community thinks that crystal healing works, just that people believe in it. I think it would be helpful if the article explained more clearly about why it is thought that crystals do work in a healing capacity. Since I am new to making edits on Wikipedia, is there any way you could help guide me as to what would be an acceptable way to go about this? My goal is to help share information on the topic so that interested parties have a clear understanding of the topic.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Indoor tanning lotion is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Indoor tanning lotion until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. -- Gh87 ( talk) 04:16, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

I find this baffling. Instead of wasting time wronging rights and pointing fingers, perhaps use of new information in the latest article would improve the overall standards of wikipedia. Surely and experienced editor such as yourself would realize this. I find it absurd that you should delete my contributions, which as far as I see, have corrected and made the article more accurate. You even deleted an obvious correction of the spelling. If you genuinely have your interests set on improving the page, you should use your time to use information in the latest article and add to the page, not remove contributions by other editors, who may not have your experience, but may know more about the subject.

Your recent edits seem to have the appearance of
edit warring after a review of the reverts you have made on
Moxon Huddersfield. Users are expected to
collaborate and discuss with others and avoid editing
disruptively.
Please be particularly aware, the three-revert rule states that:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Sparthorse ( talk) 16:38, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

You do not label something as "lame" and proceed with the edit that you want. That is purely unacceptable behaviour. This information is unsupported by any other article purely because it is wrong. If you find it anywhere else, it will be accepted as correct.

I'm glad you haven't responded to the personal attacks a subject leveled against you at AfD. I hope you'll consider never responding. Her comments alone reveal her profound misunderstanding of Wikipedia, from WP:NOTYOU and WP:PROUD to WP:NTEMP, WP:RS, and WP:COI. You've done a great job in your editing, everyone knows it, and anyone that's curious can verify it. I know I thanked you previously for your work in this, but I wanted to remind you that your work here has been exemplary. I'm thinking of a good way to cordon off the subject's comments so that they're still accessible, in a way that's appropriate for AfD. I think if I ask an uninvolved admin, there might be an appropriate result. Cheers again. JFHJr ( ㊟) 04:20, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

---|
Until late 2003, Jimmy Wales was the arbiter in all major disputes. After the Mediation Committee and the Arbitration Committee were founded, Wales delegated his roles of dispute resolution to these bodies. In addition to these committees, the community has developed a number of informal processes of dispute resolution. At its peak, over 17 dispute resolution venues existed. Disputes were submitted in each venue in a different way. Due to the complexity of Wikipedia dispute resolution, members of the community were surveyed in April 2012 about their experiences with dispute resolution. In general, the community believes that dispute resolution is too hard to use and is divided among too many venues. Many respondents also reported their experience with dispute resolution had suffered due to a shortage of volunteers and backlogging, which may be due to the disparate nature of the process. An evaluation of dispute resolution forums was made in May this year, in which data on response and resolution time, as well as success rates, was collated. This data is here.
![]() Leading off from the survey in April and the evaluation in May, several changes to dispute resolution noticeboard (DRN) were proposed. Rather than using a wikitext template to bring disputes to DRN, editors used a new javascript form. This form was simpler to use, but also standardised the format of submissions and applied a word limit so that DRN volunteers could more easily review disputes. A template to summarise, and a robot to maintain the noticeboard, were also created. As a result of these changes, volunteers responded to disputes in a third of the time, and resolved them 60% faster when compared to May. Successful resolution of disputes increased by 17%. Submissions were 25% shorter by word count.(see Dispute Resolution Noticeboard Statistics - August compared to May) Outside of DRN other simplification has taken place. The Mediation Cabal was closed in August, and Wikiquette assistance was closed in September. Nevertheless, around fifteen different forums still exist for the resolution of Wikipedia disputes.
Given the success of the past efforts at DR reform, the current RFC proposes we implement: 1) A submission gadget for every DR venue tailored to the unique needs of that forum.
2) A universal dispute resolution wizard, accessible from Wikipedia:Dispute resolution.
3) Additionally, we're seeking any ideas on how we can attract and retain more dispute resolution volunteers. |
Please share your thoughts at the RfC.

Le pov pushing poli peut être facilement déjoué. Quand on voit cette section : [11] et les motivations fournies dans l'argumentation pour renommer cet article, il est évident qu'il s'agit de pov-pushing.
Un autre élément clé est le suivant : le pov-pusher ne mettra jamais une seule information qui puisse être considérée comme opposée à sa cause dans wikipédia. Le contributeur, lui, au contraire essaie de systématiquement introduire les différents points de vue après les avoir cherchés. Le Comité d'Arbitrage n'a qu'à imposer ceci pour déjouer le pov-pusher poli : Wikipedia:Writing for the opponent.

Editing the article "Batiste" was what led me to the Charvet article as well. There is so much information on the same topic in the Cambric article that a merge may be appropriate.-- Felix Folio Secundus ( talk) 07:42, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
Batiste. Toile de lin très fine et blanche qui, selon la légende, porterait le nom de son inventeur, ouvrier de Cambrai au XVIIe siècle, appelé Jean-Batiste Chambray, industriel du XVIIIe siècle. En fait, le nom semble dérivé du radical flamand "batiche", qui signifie "battre"[...] Au XVIIe siècle, c'est un article de luxe : selon les Mémoires de madame de Motteville, l'épouse de Louis XIII, Anne d'Autriche, recherche les plus fines batistes pour ses chemises et ses draps. De 0,80 à 0,90m. Au XVIIIe siècle, la production se répand, en particulier dans le Cambrésis, en Artois et en Picardie. On distingue la batiste claire d'Artois, Picardie et Cambrésis, 0,70 et 0,88m, la batiste moyenne, la batiste écrue, dite toile d'ortie, la batiste hollandée, très serrée, très unie, comme la toiel de Hollande. On l'utilise pour les surplis et les rochets ecclésiastiques, les rabats, les cravates et les manchettes. La fabrication se poursuit dans le Nord au XIXe siècle, en particulier pour l'exportation à La Havane et dans les colonies espagnoles où la France se heurte à la concurrence anglaise. L'Exposition Universelle de Londres (1851) témoinge de la rivalité qui oppose France, Pays-Bas, Suisse, Bohême et Silésie dans le domaine de la finesse, où triomphent les filés anglais. les utilisations ne varient qu'à peine d'un siècle à l'autre : surplis, rabats, jabots, manchettes pour les gens du monde, les ecclésiastiques et les magistrats, garnitures de tête pour les femmes, draps fins, chemises et, surtout au XIXe siècle, mouchoirs. AU XXe siècle, étoffe, souvent blanche, mercerisée en pièce. Armure toile, tissée en écru puis blanchie ou teinte en pièce ou imprimée. Batiste cristalline. Tissage transparent, réalisé en fil retors au XXe siècle. Batiste d'ananas. Etoffe tissée avec les fibres collées (et non tordues) d'un végétal de la famille des broméliacées. Le tissage résultant est d'une extrême transparence. Batiste d'Ecosse. Catégorie de mousseline fabriquée à Tarare et à Saint-Quentin, mais aussi en Angleterre et en Suisse. L'apprêt spécial provient d'Ecosse. Devient le nom générique d'une étoffe en coton à texture très serrée. Batiste Maco. Nom de la meilleure qualité de coton très fine, proche de la batiste mercerisée ou même de l'organdi, au XXe siècle. Cambric. Toile fabriquée à Cambrai en écru, blanchie ou teinte en pièce, parfois apprêtée et calandrée, proche du nansouk. Autrefois tissé en lin, au XIXe siècle, le cambric est fabriqué en coton. Les plus belles qualités servent à confectionner du linge, des mouchoirs et des tissus à broder."Cotton Glossary". American Fabrics Encyclopedia of Textiles. Prentice-Hall. 1960. p. 91.
Batiste. A fine soft cotton fabric usually woven of combed yarns and mercerized for extra strength and luster. Corset batiste ai a strong, heavy, plain-woven cotton similar to poplin. Cambric. Closely woven, white cotton fabric which are finished with a slight gloss on one side.It seems I was wrong : neither name implies linen and batiste is always expected to be a fine yarn, althouh the AF encyclopedia motes, p. 254, it has been stated "the greatest thread [of cambric] was not even the size of the smallest hair". It seems I was wrong : neither name implies linen and batiste is always expected to be a fine yarn. I suggest merging cambric into batiste. Cheers, — Racconish Tk 10:00, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
This one is tricky. "Cambric" in English goes back to 1530 (as "cameryk", later also "cambric", "cammeraige", "camroche", etc.). The OED says that "batiste" is the French word for "cambric" but is used in English for a "fine, light fabric of similar texture, but differently finished, and made of cotton as well as of linen," with the first citation (as "baptist") in 1697.
So using the French "batiste" as a source for English "cambric" seems right. My first reaction is to keep the two articles separate in EN Wikipedia, and make the distinction. I'd love to do some digging on that concept "differently finished" but I'm not sure I own a reference that specific. - PKM ( talk) 16:48, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello Racconish, I added some info to the Duchamp article, pulled from the edit-history. Unfortunately, as you will see, it is full of citation-needed tags... I am not familiar with the industry, so besides googling I am not even sure where to begin looking, and if I were to try googling, how to determine which URLs were reliable sources about the clothing industry, and which were not. I also used 'circular' bare URLs pointing to the diffs from which I pulled the info, in case you (or somebody at AfD) wanted to review the originals... these are not intended to be permanent, of course! I did attempt to use encyclopedic tone, and stick with the facts, so perhaps all is not lost. If you wish, I am happy to make some cleanup-changes, just ping me on my talkpage. And of course, feel free to edit as you see fit! You obviously know more than myself about this subject.
I have put a welcome-to-wikipedia section on the article's talkpage, and posted hello-please-see-this-talkpage messages on the various IP anons that have made POV edits to the article recently. If I can get ahold of them, I will try to explain WP:COI and WP:N and WP:V portions of wikipedia to them (there was a talkpage message over at User:Flyer22's page which suggests some of the IP editors were company employees/owners).
Thanks for improving wikipedia, let me know if there is anything I can do. 74.192.84.101 ( talk) 14:15, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
Hello Racconish, there is a person named June who has expressed some interest in helping with keeping Duchamp well-polished. I asked that she keep an eye out for the COI folks who drop in every six months, and try to shove them towards the article-talkpage, then ping me. I ask the same of yourself. :-) Here is the longer explanation: User_talk:JuneGloom07#UK_designer_slash_clothing_firm.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Gustave Doré, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nadar ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Racconish, what's your recent reverting spree about? I see you're bothered by the fact it's mentioning "Mercedes Benz". While it's obvious that's a brand and it's trying to brand itself, the reason I included it was the sheer fact it's the single largest organizer of fashion shows on a global scale. And it does one hell lot of shows. So if the director of these states what are the most meaningful among them, it definitely has more merit than some random blogs or glitter magazines, at least to me. Or what's your stance on this? I'm eager to find out. All the best, Horst-schlaemma ( talk) 22:11, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Looking at Template_talk:Cite_book, there were some changes made to the "cite book" template yesterday which have broken the language field (which seems like a bug), and altered the page field (which a bot is apparently correcting as we speak).

Thank you for commenting, I agree with you about COI , if edited decently there is no problem, and you clearly do that, I appreciate your honesty though. Chavez gets a lot of flak, people publish many things about him, myself I don't mind if he has shirts but as it is a bit controversial I would say really strong citation is in order or a picture of him in a shirt would be great or him commenting in an interview himself that he likes the shirts, I think you don't mind either way about chavez politically but you simply want to include the notable people on the list, which is understandable, of course we can add it if a clear citation appears as well one might, I have a feeling that he could well have a couple of those shirts for best . regards for now.

Hi, I thought I'd bring this to talk, rather than simply annoy you by forever changing edits! I completely see what you mean about "two meanings", and I have no special knowledge of this slang use of the word "yoke", it was already in the article; but as it stands there really is some duplication going on there, which ought to be compressed - "Slang term … mostly in Ireland". After all, it is only a disambiguation page. I thought I'd covered the "two meanings" aspect with my edit 356011407, which set it out in the format "Slang term for x, also y", i.e., "two meanings". Maybe have another look at that? Or perhaps we can compromise on a more explicit statement? How about:

Hi, You removed my addition "Less conventional fabrics include velvet and satin." with the comment "previous sentences relate to fibers". I totally agree with your rationale. The problem is that the 'Types of shirting Fabrics' section of that article completely omits a macro view of different fabrics used in shirt-making and leaps straight into the micro view of the actual fibres used in making fabrics. Ideally, it would be good to preface that section with a sentence or two giving an overview of the different fabrics (giving the opportunity to mention velvet, satin and a few other fabrics used) before getting into the nitty-gritty of fibres. But I don't have time at the moment. Your thoughts?

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, and for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. — Tivedshambo ( t/ c) 16:55, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.
If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:16, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I removed the db-bio tag you placed on this article. This type of deletion is only appropriate for articles that don't contain any credible assertions of notability.

Hi! I, Compactembedding, am the author of Peter Hästö. Thank you for all! When I wrote this article, I provided all sources that you can check. You very carelessly edited what I wrote. Now I lost my patience, since you, Racconish, have suspected me as a "bad guy". My final decision is "would you please delete my article?". As a researcher, I do not accept such a way to insult the other. I planned to write more with a short survey about Peter's contributions. But I guess this will also be deleted. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Compactembedding ( talk • contribs) 02:18, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi Racconish! I decided to write about Peter because, besides his many publications, I found him have the book accepted by Springer "In 2010, his book entitled Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces with variable exponents (with L. Diening, P. Harjulehto and M. Růžička) was accepted to be published in Lecture Notes in Mathematics, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 2011. This is the first book about Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces in variable exponent settings. Sample chapters of this book can be found in [11]." You deleted this important part, so the article has become meaningless! Therefore I have one more reason for you to DELETE it. You claimed "prohibited purposes". Ok! Ok! Do you think referees or reviewers of journals and research projects are immature? Is that what you have learned to claim how I am? Any way, you can find out one more reason to delete the article! Fortunately, I did not set any "calling for donation", which many people are doing, in my article! Thank God! Compactembedding

i have edited this page 2x with more correct information yet i was rebuked by you for citing the League themselves for my sources for corrections. You claim that I violate Wikipedia rules. I disagree.
The very first citation given for the League Wikipage is the very League information that I cite in my edits. Furthermore, there are many subsequent citations using the very same source. How are my edits inappropriate?
I am attempting to fix the claims that the League is explicitly protestant christian, they are not, according to their web page. They are trinitarian. Trinitarianism is the very core of Christian Theology for Catholicism as well as some Protestant splinters. To attribute a purely protestant attitude towards the group with no information substantiating such a claim is what actually violates the wikipedia rules. Moreover, I also changed the claim that the League was a White Supremacist organization. I changed it b/c there is no citation given to substantiate such assertions. Of all the references cited at the end of the article, only the SPLC refers to them as such. Therefore it behooves anyone interested in learning about a particular organization to actually visit the home page of said organization.
When I did, I found that the League's definition of an Anglo-Celtic emphasis in their beliefs is was much more satisfactory considering the myriad of statements released by both League members as well as League critics. In fact, the SPLC itself merely claims the League is white supremacist by citing the League and its explanation of the ethnocentrism it emphasizes and then adding a ... see also... with no sources mentioned.
I quote the discussion page on the League wikipage by Wikipedia Administrator SlimVirgin: "When dealing with published sources not regarded as reputable enough to be used as sources of information on other people, we may nevertheless use them as sources of information on themselves if they have a Wikipedia page, but even then we proceed with caution. So for example, Stormfront may be used as a source if we want to know what Stormfront says about itself in the article about that group, but we don't use Stormfront as a source of information on Jews. We also don't repeat its views about Jews in the Stormfront article unless we're carefully selecting certain passages to illustrate what kind of organization it is. But we don't allow the Stormfront article to become a platform for Stormfront propaganda. Wikipedia is not an extension of other people's websites."
Again I say that such problems with my edits is ridiculous and makes no sense. I will edit again. As my edits are more accurate and offer more actual sources that were already used. SouthronAnalyst
Thank you for replying, but I remind you that the information that I changed was previously unsourced and unverifiable. My edits are sourced from the material provided by every reference at the bottom of the League article. If your concern were truly source and verification then I would have to ask that you edit the page by removing the objectionable material entirely.

Thanks for your input.
Could you please clarify your objection to the category: "In popular culture". Clearly, the Gucci name and brand has had reverberations far beyond the circumscribed world of haute couture. Is there some reason why its impact in the wider world should be omitted? Whether this be in pop songs, contemporary literature, "Sex and the City" etc. etc., the fact remains that Gucci has become a bywords for things fashionable and desirable.Do you have specific objections to the reference by The Kinks? This critically acclaimed group, members of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the U.K. Hall of Fame (with its prolific and literate Ivor- Novello-Prize-winning songwriter Ray Davies, O.B.E., the creator of the song in question) can not justifiably or reasonably be deemed "trivial" by an impartial observer.

Dear Racconish, I am new to Wikipedia and don't doubt that you are a better editor than me and that you have your reasons for reverting my edits or requesting additional citations. I follow your lead and ask questions to you before any other editor on this specific page. (which you are extremely helpful) However, if you take a look on my "Talk Page", I have added requested full citations (which you are right to ask for) in addition to adding references for verification on new comments. This designer's website notes that she offers retail items in addition to her non-profit work. (I was recently gifted one of her cotton denim handbags) Other's websites such as the Girl Scouts and the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo mention cotton with the links provided. My intentions are not to be problematic, yet I am posting verifiable references that are not unreasonable. Additionally- I understand that it is a product page, yet we should mention her official designs (silk scarves and ties for adults and cotton bandanas for girls to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts of the USA. Each are designed in her style (take a look!) and Marisol is noted on each item as "New York fashion designer and former Girl Scout". Suggestions? Thank you.

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Marisol Deluna. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
In particular, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue edit warring, you may be blocked from editing. Sandstein 06:30, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Thank you both for reviewing the posted scanned or mentioned documents.

Yet as a designer who returns, contributes and is acknowledged for their local and expanded outreach- yes, it does have relevancy.

Hi Racconish,
I noticed you placed a prod tag on List of Iraqi artists citing Wikipedia:Listcruft. I have removed the prod tag because I do not think the reason you gave for deletion is a valid reason to delete a list. Wikipedia:Listcruft is an essay, meaning it does not necessarily have broad support among Wikipedia editors (as opposed to policies and guidelines, which do have broad support among editors). Beacuse essays do not necessarily have broad support among editors, they generally should not be given as the sole reason for deleting an article. In this case, there is also a guideline on the subject of lists and categories, WP:CLN, which states that lists and categories are complementary and that both can exist for the same topic. Furthermore, I don't think the entry from Wikipedia:Listcruft that you cited was actually met in this case, as this list contains additional content beyond links to other articles (such as a brief statement of what each artist is known for). Calathan ( talk) 21:50, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi Racconish, I looked at some of your recent article creations, and I have a little advice for you (I hope you don't mind :) Take a look at:
All the articles consist of one sentence, stating that: XY is a Lebanese painter/graphic artist. You don't forget to cite your sources, which is good ( Saudi Aramco World seems to be a reliable and important magazine/website). However, the content of the above mentioned articles is insufficient for inclusion in this encyclopedia. It is necessary to explain how is the painter/graphic artist significant for local Lebanese or world art scene, what is his/her contribution to the world of art. It is beneficial both to our readers and to this project, and moreover, it is a part of Wikipedia rules to explain why a subject is important or significant. Thanks for your understanding, and please don't hesitate to ask me any question regarding this. Best regards. Vejvančický ( talk | contribs) 13:07, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

I put quite a bit of effort into turning the confusing mish-mash of verb tenses into something that is consistent and easier for the reader to understand, i.e., using the past tense to describe things that happen in the past. This is a standard style when writing in English that the reader will expect to see. I see that you have re-written the article, switching back and forth between the past and the present tense again:
I will wait for you to change this to the past tense. Also, I will ask you to review your edits carefully. I suspect that English is not your first language -- there are many grammatical and typographical errors. I also ask that you spend more time improving the existing text (it will help you to improve your English) before adding more content to this article or editing other articles. At this point, parts of the article are not comprehensible to English readers. Ground Zero | t 10:00, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
I wanted to get in touch with you in regards to my latest edits to Romapada Swami page. The content I edited was to respond to a willful vandalism attempted toward the person. I did see it to be under the category of "irrelevant obscenities". The referred link is not an authorized link but is a completely hoax entry. Please let me know if you want more information.
As a proof of my statement, here is a note from the person (Romapada Swami) whose page is being maintained:
1. I was associate director for Public Affairs from 1972-76. 2. I was NEVER Chairman of the Child Protection Office. 3. The reference made to "leaking" $2 million to the Long Island case is false on its face PLUS the language alone is derrogatory in nature.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Indoor tanning lotion is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Indoor tanning lotion until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. -- Gh87 ( talk) 04:16, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

I find this baffling. Instead of wasting time wronging rights and pointing fingers, perhaps use of new information in the latest article would improve the overall standards of wikipedia. Surely and experienced editor such as yourself would realize this. I find it absurd that you should delete my contributions, which as far as I see, have corrected and made the article more accurate. You even deleted an obvious correction of the spelling. If you genuinely have your interests set on improving the page, you should use your time to use information in the latest article and add to the page, not remove contributions by other editors, who may not have your experience, but may know more about the subject.

Do not threaten. All editors are equal and you are no exception to the rules of wikipedia. All you said applies to you as well, do not lecture other members about rules you clearly do not abide by and do not delete messages you are ashamed of, which accuse you of bias.

I find it unusual for you to suggest being attacked. The fact is you must see things from somebody else's perspective otherwise it will be viewed a inconsiderate. The article is where I call 'middle ground' now, until further material which would enhance the quality of the page emerges. Thank you, hopefully in future we collaborate on issues not oppose one another.

Your recent edits seem to have the appearance of
edit warring after a review of the reverts you have made on
Moxon Huddersfield. Users are expected to
collaborate and discuss with others and avoid editing
disruptively.
Please be particularly aware, the three-revert rule states that:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Sparthorse ( talk) 16:38, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

You do not label something as "lame" and proceed with the edit that you want. That is purely unacceptable behaviour. This information is unsupported by any other article purely because it is wrong. If you find it anywhere else, it will be accepted as correct. Unfortunately for you, you won't because as I have informed you time and again, it is false and a mistake on the part of the author of that article.

I'm glad you haven't responded to the personal attacks a subject leveled against you at AfD. I hope you'll consider never responding. Her comments alone reveal her profound misunderstanding of Wikipedia, from WP:NOTYOU and WP:PROUD to WP:NTEMP, WP:RS, and WP:COI. You've done a great job in your editing, everyone knows it, and anyone that's curious can verify it. I know I thanked you previously for your work in this, but I wanted to remind you that your work here has been exemplary. I'm thinking of a good way to cordon off the subject's comments so that they're still accessible, in a way that's appropriate for AfD. I think if I ask an uninvolved admin, there might be an appropriate result. Cheers again. JFHJr ( ㊟) 04:20, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Until late 2003, Jimmy Wales was the arbiter in all major disputes. After the Mediation Committee and the Arbitration Committee were founded, Wales delegated his roles of dispute resolution to these bodies. In addition to these committees, the community has developed a number of informal processes of dispute resolution. At its peak, over 17 dispute resolution venues existed. Disputes were submitted in each venue in a different way. Due to the complexity of Wikipedia dispute resolution, members of the community were surveyed in April 2012 about their experiences with dispute resolution. In general, the community believes that dispute resolution is too hard to use and is divided among too many venues. Many respondents also reported their experience with dispute resolution had suffered due to a shortage of volunteers and backlogging, which may be due to the disparate nature of the process. An evaluation of dispute resolution forums was made in May this year, in which data on response and resolution time, as well as success rates, was collated. This data is here.
![]() Leading off from the survey in April and the evaluation in May, several changes to dispute resolution noticeboard (DRN) were proposed. Rather than using a wikitext template to bring disputes to DRN, editors used a new javascript form. This form was simpler to use, but also standardised the format of submissions and applied a word limit so that DRN volunteers could more easily review disputes. A template to summarise, and a robot to maintain the noticeboard, were also created. As a result of these changes, volunteers responded to disputes in a third of the time, and resolved them 60% faster when compared to May. Successful resolution of disputes increased by 17%. Submissions were 25% shorter by word count.(see Dispute Resolution Noticeboard Statistics - August compared to May) Outside of DRN other simplification has taken place. The Mediation Cabal was closed in August, and Wikiquette assistance was closed in September. Nevertheless, around fifteen different forums still exist for the resolution of Wikipedia disputes.
Given the success of the past efforts at DR reform, the current RFC proposes we implement: 1) A submission gadget for every DR venue tailored to the unique needs of that forum.
2) A universal dispute resolution wizard, accessible from Wikipedia:Dispute resolution.
3) Additionally, we're seeking any ideas on how we can attract and retain more dispute resolution volunteers. |
Please share your thoughts at the RfC.

Le pov pushing poli peut être facilement déjoué. Quand on voit cette section : [11] et les motivations fournies dans l'argumentation pour renommer cet article, il est évident qu'il s'agit de pov-pushing.
Un autre élément clé est le suivant : le pov-pusher ne mettra jamais une seule information qui puisse être considérée comme opposée à sa cause dans wikipédia. Le contributeur, lui, au contraire essaie de systématiquement introduire les différents points de vue après les avoir cherchés. Le Comité d'Arbitrage n'a qu'à imposer ceci pour déjouer le pov-pusher poli : Wikipedia:Writing for the opponent.

Editing the article "Batiste" was what led me to the Charvet article as well. There is so much information on the same topic in the Cambric article that a merge may be appropriate.-- Felix Folio Secundus ( talk) 07:42, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
Batiste. Toile de lin très fine et blanche qui, selon la légende, porterait le nom de son inventeur, ouvrier de Cambrai au XVIIe siècle, appelé Jean-Batiste Chambray, industriel du XVIIIe siècle. En fait, le nom semble dérivé du radical flamand "batiche", qui signifie "battre"[...] Au XVIIe siècle, c'est un article de luxe : selon les Mémoires de madame de Motteville, l'épouse de Louis XIII, Anne d'Autriche, recherche les plus fines batistes pour ses chemises et ses draps. De 0,80 à 0,90m. Au XVIIIe siècle, la production se répand, en particulier dans le Cambrésis, en Artois et en Picardie. On distingue la batiste claire d'Artois, Picardie et Cambrésis, 0,70 et 0,88m, la batiste moyenne, la batiste écrue, dite toile d'ortie, la batiste hollandée, très serrée, très unie, comme la toiel de Hollande. On l'utilise pour les surplis et les rochets ecclésiastiques, les rabats, les cravates et les manchettes. La fabrication se poursuit dans le Nord au XIXe siècle, en particulier pour l'exportation à La Havane et dans les colonies espagnoles où la France se heurte à la concurrence anglaise. L'Exposition Universelle de Londres (1851) témoinge de la rivalité qui oppose France, Pays-Bas, Suisse, Bohême et Silésie dans le domaine de la finesse, où triomphent les filés anglais. les utilisations ne varient qu'à peine d'un siècle à l'autre : surplis, rabats, jabots, manchettes pour les gens du monde, les ecclésiastiques et les magistrats, garnitures de tête pour les femmes, draps fins, chemises et, surtout au XIXe siècle, mouchoirs. AU XXe siècle, étoffe, souvent blanche, mercerisée en pièce. Armure toile, tissée en écru puis blanchie ou teinte en pièce ou imprimée. Batiste cristalline. Tissage transparent, réalisé en fil retors au XXe siècle. Batiste d'ananas. Etoffe tissée avec les fibres collées (et non tordues) d'un végétal de la famille des broméliacées. Le tissage résultant est d'une extrême transparence. Batiste d'Ecosse. Catégorie de mousseline fabriquée à Tarare et à Saint-Quentin, mais aussi en Angleterre et en Suisse. L'apprêt spécial provient d'Ecosse. Devient le nom générique d'une étoffe en coton à texture très serrée. Batiste Maco. Nom de la meilleure qualité de coton très fine, proche de la batiste mercerisée ou même de l'organdi, au XXe siècle. Cambric. Toile fabriquée à Cambrai en écru, blanchie ou teinte en pièce, parfois apprêtée et calandrée, proche du nansouk. Autrefois tissé en lin, au XIXe siècle, le cambric est fabriqué en coton. Les plus belles qualités servent à confectionner du linge, des mouchoirs et des tissus à broder."Cotton Glossary". American Fabrics Encyclopedia of Textiles. Prentice-Hall. 1960. p. 91.
Batiste. A fine soft cotton fabric usually woven of combed yarns and mercerized for extra strength and luster. Corset batiste ai a strong, heavy, plain-woven cotton similar to poplin. Cambric. Closely woven, white cotton fabric which are finished with a slight gloss on one side.It seems I was wrong : neither name implies linen and batiste is always expected to be a fine yarn, althouh the AF encyclopedia motes, p. 254, it has been stated "the greatest thread [of cambric] was not even the size of the smallest hair". It seems I was wrong : neither name implies linen and batiste is always expected to be a fine yarn. I suggest merging cambric into batiste. Cheers, — Racconish Tk 10:00, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
This one is tricky. "Cambric" in English goes back to 1530 (as "cameryk", later also "cambric", "cammeraige", "camroche", etc.). The OED says that "batiste" is the French word for "cambric" but is used in English for a "fine, light fabric of similar texture, but differently finished, and made of cotton as well as of linen," with the first citation (as "baptist") in 1697.
So using the French "batiste" as a source for English "cambric" seems right. My first reaction is to keep the two articles separate in EN Wikipedia, and make the distinction. I'd love to do some digging on that concept "differently finished" but I'm not sure I own a reference that specific. - PKM ( talk) 16:48, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello Racconish, I added some info to the Duchamp article, pulled from the edit-history. Unfortunately, as you will see, it is full of citation-needed tags... I am not familiar with the industry, so besides googling I am not even sure where to begin looking, and if I were to try googling, how to determine which URLs were reliable sources about the clothing industry, and which were not. I also used 'circular' bare URLs pointing to the diffs from which I pulled the info, in case you (or somebody at AfD) wanted to review the originals... these are not intended to be permanent, of course! I did attempt to use encyclopedic tone, and stick with the facts, so perhaps all is not lost. If you wish, I am happy to make some cleanup-changes, just ping me on my talkpage. And of course, feel free to edit as you see fit! You obviously know more than myself about this subject.
I have put a welcome-to-wikipedia section on the article's talkpage, and posted hello-please-see-this-talkpage messages on the various IP anons that have made POV edits to the article recently. If I can get ahold of them, I will try to explain WP:COI and WP:N and WP:V portions of wikipedia to them (there was a talkpage message over at User:Flyer22's page which suggests some of the IP editors were company employees/owners).

I ask the same of yourself. :-) Here is the longer explanation: User_talk:JuneGloom07#UK_designer_slash_clothing_firm. Thanks, let me know if there is anything I can do. 74.192.84.101 ( talk) 15:19, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Gustave Doré, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nadar ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Racconish, what's your recent reverting spree about? I see you're bothered by the fact it's mentioning "Mercedes Benz". While it's obvious that's a brand and it's trying to brand itself, the reason I included it was the sheer fact it's the single largest organizer of fashion shows on a global scale. And it does one hell lot of shows. So if the director of these states what are the most meaningful among them, it definitely has more merit than some random blogs or glitter magazines, at least to me. Or what's your stance on this? I'm eager to find out. All the best, Horst-schlaemma ( talk) 22:11, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi. You requested access to a British Newspaper Archive account via The Wikipedia Library a long time ago. I took over responsibilities as the account coordinator and I approved you for an account about a month ago. I still need you to follow the steps indicated on the e-mail I sent you, including submitting your information on the Google doc that e-mail indicates. If I don't have that information by 15 December, I'm going to archive your application with no further action.
If there's been any confusion or crossed-wires about this process, I apologize. I understand your request waited for some time before I e-mailed you. I'm eager to catch-up with the backlog of requests and other editors are waiting for accounts. Chris Troutman ( talk) 22:16, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
Im not sure what's public domain as far as these two posters. Only guessing the Walton film is 1921 predating the 1923 year copyright cutoff. Thanks for any help. Koplimek ( talk) 16:15, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Can u do something for the movies on the assembly line article similar to the movie u added for the time and motion study? Lbertolotti ( talk) 19:26, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
@ Racconish There are two Ford assembly lines linked movies linked on the page.
@ Racconish For me looks good, let's see what the others think. By the way, what's the correct way of linking to Youtube videos? Lbertolotti ( talk) 00:50, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
@ Racconish There's that also. I was looking forward to expading this category, can this video be uploaded to commons? Lbertolotti ( talk) 17:18, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Do you know who uploaded these images to wikipedia?
We need a picture for the Taiichi Ohno article as well. Lbertolotti ( talk) 17:10, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
It says: Author=Unknown. Since you seem quite knowledgeable of how wikimedia commons works, I thought you might know something. It seems those images weren't even uploaded to wikimedia commons to begin with. Lbertolotti ( talk) 18:01, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

@ User:Racconish I'm trying to add a photo to his article, but I'm not sure which is the proper procedure. He's still alive, so it's not a "historic portrait of a person no longer alive". Lbertolotti ( talk) 11:50, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
@ User:Racconish Regarding this, what's your opinion? Lbertolotti ( talk) 17:00, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
Good day,
Can you review these historic portraits? They may need to be cropped. Lbertolotti ( talk) 12:47, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
André Meyer (This may be PD, but I'm not sure, it's from the Food and Agriculture Organization. Lbertolotti ( talk) 14:12, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

The University of York is a public university, does this makes those photos PD? Lbertolotti ( talk) 13:27, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Dufy victory rooster2.jpg. 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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 18:32, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.
I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.
