Dear Z1720. You wrote: “Please cite your sources using footnotes. There should be a reference at the end of every paragraph, minimum, since this is a WP:BLP.” Though there were about 40 footnotes and 6 external links (allowed by Scope creep), I transferred the external links to footnotes. Now there are no external links. Some references to the published biography were duplicated to a few places, and now there are references in all paragraphs, and also at the end of these paragraphs.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Si14360 ( talk • contribs) 19:28, July 30, 2021 (UTC)
Dear Z1720. Thank you for your answer. Sorry, I do not understand what citations must be replaced and what citations must be new. Can you give examples what citations are wrong? I think that citations in other Wikipedia pages are similar to those in the draft. I do not understand what I need to change before resubmission. Si14360 ( talk) 21:21, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
Dear Z1720. Thank you for your comments. I deleted the former references 10, 12-14, 16 for lists of publications (only two references were left). Scope creep suggested to remove the references 12-16, you suggested to remove references 10, 11, and 12 (different references). Former ref 8 (to Wiki data) was removed. As Scope creep suggested, I deleted the sentence about Wikipedia pages in other languages, and former references 19-22 we used to populate other sentences. Most sentences in early life and career now have references. May it is not needed to put a citation to every similar sentence? For example, in /info/en/?search=Alan_Boss there are no citations in career. I hope that editing of the sections, other than achievements, are close to the end.
As I understand, your main remarks are to the section about achievements were there are citations of Ipatov’s publications. Is it possible not to exclude this section, at least most of the text? I suppose that achievements are much more important and interesting for inclusion in Wikipedia than the list of institutions were a person worked. For example, in /info/en/?search=Eric_Walter_Elst , the main attention is paid to his discoveries, not to his career. In /info/en/?search=Alan_Stern, information about scientific results of Alan Stern is much greater than the information about his career. I suppose that small information about scientific results for some scientists may be only caused by that their biographers did not write about them. As to me, I prefer to read biographies with detailed achievements, but not those short biographies that sometimes can be found in wikipedia. May be the awards, the inclusion of the biography in dictionaries and encyclopedias, the published papers in Web of Science and Scopus journals can be considered as independent secondary sources In the first draft of the Ipatov’s bio there were no references to his papers (only text about his achievements), but then there were remarks that all text must be supported by citations. So the citations of Ipatov’s papers have been added. Such citations can be deleted, but probably it will not make the text better. In order to add secondary references to Ipatov’s achievements, the following sentence have been added just now to the beginning of the section “Main scientific interests and achievements”: Information about Ipatov’s main scientific interests and achievements is presented on [8, 9]. Information for you (not for the draft): These websites include similar Russian text about achievements, but without references to Ipatov’s papers. It is possible to add links to the papers which cited Ipatov’s papers, but I do not think that it is good.

Dear User Z1720,
I wanted to follow up on my proposed edit to Creigh Deeds' page. Your response noted that this edit was too detailed about his career and that it would require constant updating of his accomplishments. I completely understand how you arrived at this conclusion. However, Creigh Deeds' page already has a list of bills he proposed (not necessarily passed) under the section State Senate. These bills come from 2008 or earlier, do not follow any cohesive theme, and are not clearly of great significance. If this list has existed on his page for many years, isn't some sort of update or supplement in order?
My submission, titled State Senate Accomplishments, lists bills related to mental health reform championed and passed by Creigh Deeds. It is clear from secondary source reporting that mental health reform has been a priority of Senator Deeds' career. For this reason, my post was intended to be a "summary of notable accomplishments" (which, as you noted, is the purpose of a wikipedia page) rather than a comprehensive list of legislative accomplishments that would need to be updated.
I hope you will consider taking action to update Creigh Deeds' page. By any plain view it is clearly out of date. I look forward to reading your thoughts on this matter.

Thak you - and the many who helped - today for William Lyon Mackenzie, introduced: "Journalist. Politician. Rebellion Leader. William Lyon Mackenzie held many roles and got into a lot of trouble. He tried to reform the Upper Canada political system (what is now known as Ontario, Canada) and became Toronto's first mayor. He led the Upper Canada Rebellion, went a little crazy, and fled to the United States when government forces defeated the rebels. He organised an invasion of Upper Canada with American volunteers but was arrested by the American government and pardoned by President Van Buren. Upon his return to Canada, he became a politician and ranted against government proposals." -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 08:19, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

I received a kudo from you for which I am completely clueless as to what. It has to be a Minnesota article, but which? I read your offer and would request that if you have a moment to go over the Mankato article at the top of my sandbox. I want the POV right because it is not a good subject and the MHS appears to have a POV issue. Do you know how to challenge a Wiki source for reliability or neutrality? The Minnesota Historical Society should be blackballed. They displayed Little Crows skull for scalp for 60 years as a war trophy for the State. They defended the hanging monument in Mankato almost until its removal. Now they have changed and as a publisher are promoting a revised history that absolutely fails to address the war crimes committed by Little Crows warriors. In military history the Minnesota hostilities of 1862 are now unique. The loser has gotten "how they are referred to" and the name of the hostilities changed. MHS now only calls the "Sioux"- "Dakota" and the "Sioux Uprising" is not the "US Dakota War". The re-branding of the hostilities is completely amazing for its historical inaccuracy as the US had the State of Minnesota act as its surrogate. It was a Minnesota Civil War with Minnesota troops vs. the Santee Sioux. Thanks Mcb133aco ( talk) 18:38, 9 October 2021 (UTC)mcb133acco Mcb133aco ( talk) 18:38, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for the explanation. My thoughts, for your consideration:
I understand you are coming at this from a good place (and in fact giving yourself more work to do as a result). My concern is that you are complicating the GAN process for editors. I note that you advise nominators to let you know if they want FAC feedback during the GAN, however if you are to continue doing that then I suggest it would be better to separate comments; this could maybe take the form of "GAN" or "FAC" at the start of every bullet?
My concern overall is that a GA nomination is based on the GA criteria. As such, the feedback should clearly show where the article needs work to meet the GA criteria. If you choose to weave in feedback for FA criteria, that should be sepearate so that it in no way does that extra feedback prevent promotion when GA criteria are met.

Thanks for doing the notifications! Just a note: as I am wearying of doing the bookkeeping for other editors, I am working towards encouraging them to do it themselves rather than doing it for them. In particular, it's troubling how often I read through FAR and have to ping the original nominator to please update the status, so we don't all have to go have a look.

Thank you Z172O for offering the alternative hooks. As I am just starting as a Wikipedia editor, this is my first page creation, and I had no idea what DYK was or how to submit for it before Michael Turnbull wrote me, I would say that the alternative hooks ALT 2b and ALT2d read well to me but I would leave it to those more experienced in the ways of DYK to choose the one most likely to grab a reader's attention. I had put 'barn' in not just because it is where the documents are but also because it sounded catchier to me than an expected word such as 'library'. Thanks for your help and consideration.

hello, Z1720! i had a question regarding this blurb for this article. i know that a full date is often mentioned in a blurb when it is relevant to the blurb's run date, and this blurb is scheduled to run on the 55th anniversary of dunstan's first inauguration as premier, as mentioned in your tfa nomination. however, i was not sure how best to insert it without going over the limit of 1025 characters. i am assuming that replacing "in 1967" with "on 1 June 1967" would be the best way to insert the date.
to make space for the addition, how do you feel about either replacing "Although he lost the 1967 election" with "After resigning in 1968", or dropping the "in 1999" at the end? the article states that dunstan resigned due to losing a vote of confidence after the 1968 state election, as his party had lost two seats in the election (although technically he had won the election in order to keep the seat for norwood), so i think this rewording may be more accurate. (in addition, i think "1967" may have been meant to be "1968".) also, dunstan's year of death is mentioned in the lifespan at the start of the blurb, so no information would be lost by dropping "in 1999". dying ( talk) 05:09, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm alarmed by your recent edits at Yi Jeonggyu, like this one ( [1]), which have edit descriptions like "removing copyright concerns", but involve no substantial changes.

Hi!

I noticed that you weren't autopatrolled when you set up your RfA.
Hi Z1720, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed' and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned prolific creators of articles where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.
Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.
Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Schwede 66 02:22, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

If I might suggest a second tradition, wouldn't it be nice for new admins to encourage the next one to run (onwiki or via email), so that the baton doesn't stay in the same hands for too long? Femke ( talk) 17:10, 31 August 2022 (UTC) |
There isn't really a great way to collect data for this question – the best I could do is collect all of the viewcount data from July 2022, and measure it against the unadjusted hook length. Unsurprisingly, I found no correlation, linear or otherwise (m=-1.09 vph/char, R2=0.036). What would be a more insightful set of data is if we could measure the same hook fact in different wordings, through A/B testing. I'd be convinced that punchiness doesn't affect viewcount when I see that data turn up no correlation. theleekycauldron ( talk • contribs) (she/ they) 06:32, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

On 9 September 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Joseph-Alexandre Baile, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Joseph-Alexandre Baile argued against the separation of the parish of Notre-Dame in Montreal, declaring it to be against civil law? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Joseph-Alexandre Baile. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Joseph-Alexandre Baile), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi, I saw today on WP Evolutionary Biology that you've nominated this for FAR. Shame, if you'd put a note there instead of on the article's talk page a few weeks back, it'd all have been sorted by now. But we are where we are. I've today sourced the text, removed a few bits that seemed inapposite, renamed a couple of sections and removed some lists which didn't seem necessary. It certainly looks a lot better. I don't know whether it's possible to avoid the whole FAR machinery now that the lever has been pulled - that'd certainly be nicer; I'm basically allergic to reviews, and don't intend to make a habit of rescuing other people's work at FAR. But it'd be a pity if this grand old article by Rusty Cashman bit the dust, and there are very few editors left who seem to have the time, skill, or inclination to do serious work on evolutionary biology. Anything you can do will be gratefully appreciated. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 19:01, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Z1720, I'm planning to get started with GAN reviewing and I thought it might be a good idea for my first review to have a more experienced reviewer in the backseat to make sure I'm not heading in the wrong direction. I was thinking about getting started with a review of the article Julian Pierce since the topic is not difficult, it's not too long, and I have access to most of the sources. Would you mind reviewing my review as I go along or do you know someone else who might be kind enough to give me a hand? Phlsph7 ( talk) 16:53, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi Z1720, thanks for adding the FAC peer review sidebar to the David Kelly PR. This is something I've not seen since my last foray into FAC (about three years ago), but it's clearly a good thing. Just on a point of etiquette, is this something I should add to PR's I open (for future FACs), or is it left to others to judge a PR needs more eyes and they add it? I'm happy to live with either, but just wanted to make sure I get it right. Cheers - SchroCat ( talk) 15:34, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Z1720, i had a quick question regarding this blurb for this article. was there a reason why leicester city was not mentioned in the blurb? i don't personally mind, but considering that all the other teams roberts played for appear to be mentioned in the blurb, i was worried that some main page readers familiar with roberts may consider it a deliberate slight. if it was only due to length considerations, i think we can add the team name if we replace "almost half as a player" with "almost half playing", "research into dementia" with " dementia research", and "has attributed" with "attributed". if it was simply an inadvertent oversight, that's also completely understandable.

Hi, I found that you are involved with the "Today's featured article" selection. It can be seen that most of the first page articles are centered around dominant cultural aspects and perspectives of a potential English language editor. I was just curious to know, whether it is an established guideline or just a common practice. Because I know some historic articles like Darius the Great, which is also been selected as a "good article", and due to its mention in Greek sources as well, might be of point of interest to the audience from all across the world. Can you please guide me to a mutual understanding and direct me? Thanks a lot A281666666 ( talk) 19:18, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

I see over on Ian's talk page that you're asking about running a bio on someone's death date (in a case where the death date doesn't have independent significance, which is the usual case). I'm personally skeptical that this is a good idea, but I need to get more experience with scheduling before I'm willing to venture an opinion. In general, if we want to schedule an anniversary but the desired day is already taken, I prefer scheduling the day before (for countries just to the west of the International Date Line) or the day after (for the Americas). - Dank ( push to talk) 14:40, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Thought to reach out. I personally don't think it was right to force the removal of the tag. There are clear issues about US-centricity. I think this still warrants a proper review - the issues haven't been addressed nor on the talk page nor in the article itself. Few editors are involved, so it's impossible to speak from a broad consensus on this. I don't think it's constructive to just force your viewpoint on this. Forcing viewpoints in valid constructive conversations tends to demotivate contributors who act in good faith. UlyssorZebra ( talk) 07:27, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm User Kiava. I'm attempting to contact you because I'm currently blocked, as you are aware. I'm unsure about the reasons behind the blocks imposed by these three administrators. It seems that they may have mistakenly blocked me. As you previously suggested, I am willing to adhere to the guidelines and keep my contributions simple on Wikipedia. However, the user whom the admin has blocked for me is not me. I want to clarify that I am only using one internet connection, which is my phone's internet, and both my phone and computer share the same IP address.I have always answered your questions with care, and I can confidently say that I have never told a lie in my entire life. Unfortunately, in this world, there are instances where people infringe upon the rights of others. I explicitly stated that my intention was not to initiate the creation of that particular page. My involvement was solely aimed at assisting the individual who sought my help. Moreover, you yourself pointed out that it was inappropriate to establish a page on this subject, and I promptly acknowledged your guidance. Regrettably, I was not afforded an opportunity to rectify the situation. Astonishingly, I wasn't even issued a warning throughout the entire five-year duration of my membership before being blocked.I have been blocked for the past two months, and I am uncertain whether I will be able to resume editing or not. The absence of a specified timeframe leaves me unable to reconcile with the notion that the management's decision to impose punishment is just. 174.193.205.91 ( talk) 09:35, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi Z1720, just wanted to let you know being maxed out on words, I just clarified some of my existing text at AE. [3] I just wanted to give a heads up in case you feel that significantly alters what you felt you were replying to and changes the meaning of your existing text in any way. A little more info below intended as an actual reply, so if you're fine with me copying that over to AE with an extension (I really don't want to add more than the below), I can do that. Otherwise this can be just side-clarification here. I mostly just want to make sure it's clear what I've been dealing with, what the aspersions principle has been crafted/used to address, and what I'm actually asking for since there seem to be misunderstandings about that:
I'll just briefly mention that back when crafting the principle at ArbCom, it was so AE could tamp down aspersion behavior like what you just described. Dealing with cases at AE like I listed for Tamzin, gaming the principle has been a common problem with exactly what you mentioned about I do not see how Leyo is specifically targeting KoA in their 2023 comments
. One where that really came out was
this case, and I suggest giving Tryptofish's comment there a read on but without saying which editors by username, and then wikilawyering that it cannot be an aspersion because it supposedly wasn't directed at anyone in particular, is utterly dishonest
. It's usually been long-term issues outlined at
WP:RUNAWAY we often deal with this behavior that's relevant for this interaction too.
Right now, I'm basically trying to address how the older problem sniping resumed when Leyo showed up at the user talk I was at shortly after me on June 2, 2023 with the certain users
comment, and then per the comments at the XRV for early August, followed me to
Dominion (2018 film) where they never edited and the admin tool abuse occurred. It's the hounding/aspersions behavior from the GMO subject Leyo has been alerted about 3 times that resulted in the spillover over elsewhere I'm trying to address at AE, not the admin tool use that would be more involved by going to ArbCom. The XRV close here is only to show just how much the pursuit behavior escalated elsewhere. That's partly why I didn't get into the mischaracterizations Leyo made at the August XRV about my edits within the GMO/pesticide CT area too (and due to space). June 2023 was just the recent restart of issues in this topic rather than a one-off to be clear.
Given what happened to me, all I'm asking for is a clear preventative measure (even if it's just a caution/warning) while acknowledging the problems caused by the behavior ArbCom already had to call out as disruptive in this subject. I'm just looking for clear assurance Leyo will not be following me around or poisoning the well on talk pages after the multiple cautions I gave them obviously did not work and the bristling attitude at XRV. Thanks. KoA ( talk) 21:16, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi Z, hope you're well. I noticed you marked Richard Temple-Nugent-Brydges-Chandos-Grenville, 3rd Duke of Buckingham and Chandos as ineligible due to "unreferenced sections". I think this sort of gets in at a complex question about referencing -- nothing requires every part of an article be referenced, including the OTD criteria (which are fairly clear in fact that CN tags don't make articles categorically ineligible, implying something slightly below MINREF can still pass). Lord Buckingham I'd say was a little below MINREF before I pulled out the article, but I cited the challenged-or-likely-to-be-challenged material before taking it to OTD. I don't think articles that pass MINREF but aren't GA "end of each paragraph" should be OTD-ineligible (especially given OTD explicitly states articles don't need to be quality-assessable) -- do you think this should be a requirement, and if so what problem do you think it would solve?

I would like to request your input on this article since you were the one who suggested it to me.

Thank you for checking OTD. I proudly remember having sung in an oratorio premiere seven years ago OTD. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 16:03, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
I saw you busy in the Selected anniversaries where I feel like a newcomer. We are approaching a tercentenary, of the birth of Carl Friedrich Abel, about whom several specific things could be said: he was the last viol virtuoso, a prolific composer (mostly for the instrument and other chamber music), he installed together with Bach's youngest son, his friend, the first subscription concerts in London, and one of his symphonies was attributed to W. A. Mozart. [4] Good to know. The least we could do is mentioning him under births, but I dream of presenting his beautiful portrait by a famous painter - look at that dog! Would you have a good idea for a blurb? A festival of celebration with a new award in his name happened already in his home town. [5] [6] -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 14:08, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

I think you have not edited since I left and deleted two messages about a reappraisal of an article, then left another, on the coordinators' talk page. I wanted to be sure so I am posting this message. I note in the message on the coordinators page that there are two pages on A assessments which deal at least in part with reappraisals or reassessments. I am a new coordinator and thought I ought to be able to understand and proceed with the reassessment. I now think I am not likely to gain certainty on how to proceed without some further advice or instruction. That is the gist of my message there, which I invite you to read.
I also note that the article is no longer A class, probably not GA and will need some citations at almost any level. So I agree the article needs reassessment. If no other coordinator responds in the near future, I will ping them in case they read earlier messages and think I am taking care of this. I should mention that I do not have the sources to use to fill in the citations or any other improvements which might appear necessary so I can't work to improve this article myself. Sorry for the confusion.

Hi! First of all, I just wanted to thank you for the comprehensive feedback you gave to the Arctodus article you gave last year. I finished completing your improvements, however while that was happening, I got some feedback about the length of sections potentially being too long. I've done some additional streamlining, reorganisation and rewrites. I know that you're quite busy, but if you'd be able to do take a look again to see how it's going, I'd greatly appreciate any kind of feedback. SuperTah ( talk) 03:30, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
Hi Z1720. I'm looking forward to hopefully working with you next year in the event that you're elected. I read your
answer to a question in which you recommend referring AE threads without conclusion to ArbCom, and I would just note that in December, ArbCom amended its procedures to
provide that: A consensus of administrators at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard may refer an arbitration enforcement request to the Arbitration Committee for final decision through a
request for amendment.

Today's story is about Maria Callas, on her centenary. - Aaron Copland died OTD, and Jerome Kohl (mentioned in November) said something wise on Copland's talk, - yes, regarding a soft(er) stance towards infoboxes. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 17:38, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Back to arbitration: did you check out the history of the infobox of Callas? Compare Jessye Norman, Kathleen Ferrier and Jenny Lind. Did you check out the history of Copland? Compare Max Reger, Max Beckschäfer, Colin Mawby (from today's story), and Benjamin Britten (who died OTD). What's the difference? If what you see changes your answer to my question, feel free to change, and ping me.

Hi! It was great to meet you at WCNA :) Based on what we had talked about, I worked on a tool to hopefully help with checking articles: https://otd-helper.toolforge.org
For making it easier to update the OTD pages themselves, I wanted to change the comment format for inelgible articles to be a list rather than table. Then we'd have a user script of some sort that makes it easier to re-arrange articles (maybe literal drag and drop?) and leave notes for ineligible ones. Curious if 1) this tool will help you out and if you'd like to see any other changes/features 2) if you have any thoughts regarding a user script for the second part!

You will likely be contacted by the existing committee for onboarding. Best regards, — xaosflux Talk 01:43, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
The Arbitration Committee welcomes the following new and returning arbitrators following their election by the community. The two-year terms of these arbitrators formally begin on 1 January 2024:
Upon meeting the Wikimedia Foundation's criteria for access to non-public personal data and signing the Foundation's non-public information confidentiality agreement, all incoming arbitrators will be subscribed to all Committee-managed email lists, assigned the CheckUser and Oversight permissions for use in office, and given access to the CheckUser and Oversight queues on the VRTS system.
We also thank our outgoing colleagues whose terms end on 31 December 2023:
Outgoing arbitrators are eligible to retain the CheckUser and Oversight permissions, to remain active on cases accepted before their term ended, and to remain subscribed to the functionaries' and arbitration clerks' mailing lists following their term on the committee. To that effect:

Dear Z1720. You wrote: “Please cite your sources using footnotes. There should be a reference at the end of every paragraph, minimum, since this is a WP:BLP.” Though there were about 40 footnotes and 6 external links (allowed by Scope creep), I transferred the external links to footnotes. Now there are no external links. Some references to the published biography were duplicated to a few places, and now there are references in all paragraphs, and also at the end of these paragraphs.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Si14360 ( talk • contribs) 19:28, July 30, 2021 (UTC)
Dear Z1720. Thank you for your answer. Sorry, I do not understand what citations must be replaced and what citations must be new. Can you give examples what citations are wrong? I think that citations in other Wikipedia pages are similar to those in the draft. I do not understand what I need to change before resubmission. Si14360 ( talk) 21:21, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
Dear Z1720. Thank you for your comments. I deleted the former references 10, 12-14, 16 for lists of publications (only two references were left). Scope creep suggested to remove the references 12-16, you suggested to remove references 10, 11, and 12 (different references). Former ref 8 (to Wiki data) was removed. As Scope creep suggested, I deleted the sentence about Wikipedia pages in other languages, and former references 19-22 we used to populate other sentences. Most sentences in early life and career now have references. May it is not needed to put a citation to every similar sentence? For example, in /info/en/?search=Alan_Boss there are no citations in career. I hope that editing of the sections, other than achievements, are close to the end.
As I understand, your main remarks are to the section about achievements were there are citations of Ipatov’s publications. Is it possible not to exclude this section, at least most of the text? I suppose that achievements are much more important and interesting for inclusion in Wikipedia than the list of institutions were a person worked. For example, in /info/en/?search=Eric_Walter_Elst , the main attention is paid to his discoveries, not to his career. In /info/en/?search=Alan_Stern, information about scientific results of Alan Stern is much greater than the information about his career. I suppose that small information about scientific results for some scientists may be only caused by that their biographers did not write about them. As to me, I prefer to read biographies with detailed achievements, but not those short biographies that sometimes can be found in wikipedia. May be the awards, the inclusion of the biography in dictionaries and encyclopedias, the published papers in Web of Science and Scopus journals can be considered as independent secondary sources In the first draft of the Ipatov’s bio there were no references to his papers (only text about his achievements), but then there were remarks that all text must be supported by citations. So the citations of Ipatov’s papers have been added. Such citations can be deleted, but probably it will not make the text better. In order to add secondary references to Ipatov’s achievements, the following sentence have been added just now to the beginning of the section “Main scientific interests and achievements”: Information about Ipatov’s main scientific interests and achievements is presented on [8, 9]. Information for you (not for the draft): These websites include similar Russian text about achievements, but without references to Ipatov’s papers. It is possible to add links to the papers which cited Ipatov’s papers, but I do not think that it is good.

Dear User Z1720,
I wanted to follow up on my proposed edit to Creigh Deeds' page. Your response noted that this edit was too detailed about his career and that it would require constant updating of his accomplishments. I completely understand how you arrived at this conclusion. However, Creigh Deeds' page already has a list of bills he proposed (not necessarily passed) under the section State Senate. These bills come from 2008 or earlier, do not follow any cohesive theme, and are not clearly of great significance. If this list has existed on his page for many years, isn't some sort of update or supplement in order?
My submission, titled State Senate Accomplishments, lists bills related to mental health reform championed and passed by Creigh Deeds. It is clear from secondary source reporting that mental health reform has been a priority of Senator Deeds' career. For this reason, my post was intended to be a "summary of notable accomplishments" (which, as you noted, is the purpose of a wikipedia page) rather than a comprehensive list of legislative accomplishments that would need to be updated.
I hope you will consider taking action to update Creigh Deeds' page. By any plain view it is clearly out of date. I look forward to reading your thoughts on this matter.

I received a kudo from you for which I am completely clueless as to what. It has to be a Minnesota article, but which? I read your offer and would request that if you have a moment to go over the Mankato article at the top of my sandbox. I want the POV right because it is not a good subject and the MHS appears to have a POV issue. Do you know how to challenge a Wiki source for reliability or neutrality? The Minnesota Historical Society should be blackballed. They displayed Little Crows skull for scalp for 60 years as a war trophy for the State. They defended the hanging monument in Mankato almost until its removal. Now they have changed and as a publisher are promoting a revised history that absolutely fails to address the war crimes committed by Little Crows warriors. In military history the Minnesota hostilities of 1862 are now unique. The loser has gotten "how they are referred to" and the name of the hostilities changed. MHS now only calls the "Sioux"- "Dakota" and the "Sioux Uprising" is not the "US Dakota War". The re-branding of the hostilities is completely amazing for its historical inaccuracy as the US had the State of Minnesota act as its surrogate. It was a Minnesota Civil War with Minnesota troops vs. the Santee Sioux. Thanks Mcb133aco ( talk) 18:38, 9 October 2021 (UTC)mcb133acco Mcb133aco ( talk) 18:38, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your assistance in 5x expanding Francis Pharcellus Church! I'm happy we were able to get it in for a Christmas DYK, and I actually think the article might be pretty close to GA (?) by now. Also, great work on Canadian articles, FAR.Your work is quite the inspiration! Happy holidays and all the best in the year to come! Thanks, Eddie891 Talk Work 22:44, 20 December 2021 (UTC) |

You've mass deleted some stuff and added some stuff too...I haven't had the time to look at them but please give me a brief explanation of what you are doing. I'm not criticizing you by the way. I knew the article had too much irrelevant information anyways.

Hi there, Z1720, and thanks for taking an interest in Women in Red. As you have already created a number of well presented biographies of Canadian dancers and choreographers, both male and female, and have helped to promote Megan Phelps-Roper to GA, it occurred to me that you might like to become a member of Women in Red yourself. Experienced editors like you are not only able to contribute to our efforts to reduce the gender gap but can inspire and assist less proficient participants.

Hi. Thanks for the explanation. My thoughts, for your consideration:
I understand you are coming at this from a good place (and in fact giving yourself more work to do as a result). My concern is that you are complicating the GAN process for editors. I note that you advise nominators to let you know if they want FAC feedback during the GAN, however if you are to continue doing that then I suggest it would be better to separate comments; this could maybe take the form of "GAN" or "FAC" at the start of every bullet?
My concern overall is that a GA nomination is based on the GA criteria. As such, the feedback should clearly show where the article needs work to meet the GA criteria. If you choose to weave in feedback for FA criteria, that should be sepearate so that it in no way does that extra feedback prevent promotion when GA criteria are met. Kind regards Mark83 ( talk) 15:09, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for doing the notifications! Just a note: as I am wearying of doing the bookkeeping for other editors, I am working towards encouraging them to do it themselves rather than doing it for them. In particular, it's troubling how often I read through FAR and have to ping the original nominator to please update the status, so we don't all have to go have a look. It is expected that the nominator will shepherd their own nom, and I'm finding I'm carrying too much of that burden. So I plan to stop doing that :) Bst, SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 18:59, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Z1720. My name is Gideon, I work at Mobileye. I'm reaching out to you because I would like to collaborate on improving the company's article, and saw that you are both an active editor on the page and that you were willing to put a great amount of time and effort to respond to a request that was put up on the Talk page last year. I'm taking a new approach and just put up a new request there now, and would love to hear your thoughts, if you're willing. Thanks! Gideon at Mobileye ( talk) 11:13, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi Z1720, I hope you are well. My previous edit request was discussed and implemented (thanks for closing it!) and I'm now hoping to gain some clarity regarding the controversy section of the Mobileye article. One editor has already stated his opinion, but I'm not sure his answer addressed the points I brought up. If you have the time, I'd really appreciate you taking a look at Talk:Mobileye. Looking forward to your input! Thank you, Gideon at Mobileye ( talk) 09:31, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi Z1720. I see that you have pre-nominated NASA Astronaut Group 2 for the September 17 TFA. I was wondering if you would be open to considering allowing me to pre-nominate September 2019 events in the U.S. repo market instead? The reason I ask is that this article is about events that took place on this specific date, while it seems to me like NASA Astronaut Group 2 is perhaps less clearly tied to September 17 and could potentially run on any day. Of course feel free to let me know if you disagree, there's no pressure at all. JBchrch talk 01:22, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi Z1, Before I stopped actively editing on my account (I wasn't logged in yet, because I was in public) due to my new job, can you spot other problems in this article? I'm sure this article is very much in worse shape and a lot of the texts are uncited, but some editor wants to be specific, so I kind of went on to you instead, and so I can maybe sent it into FAR next week at least. 2001:4455:30B:6C00:D50:AF70:E49E:FD5D ( talk) 14:09, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for promoting Template:Did you know nominations/Depths of Wikipedia! I saw that you wikilinked the other articles mentioned in the hook – any chance you'd be willing to undo that? They're linked from Depths of Wikipedia anyway, and if they're also linked from the hook itself I anticipate that many viewers will click on one of those other articles rather than the article that's actually on DYK. ezlev ( user/ tlk/ ctrbs) 19:20, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
Thank you Z172O for offering the alternative hooks. As I am just starting as a Wikipedia editor, this is my first page creation, and I had no idea what DYK was or how to submit for it before Michael Turnbull wrote me, I would say that the alternative hooks ALT 2b and ALT2d read well to me but I would leave it to those more experienced in the ways of DYK to choose the one most likely to grab a reader's attention. I had put 'barn' in not just because it is where the documents are but also because it sounded catchier to me than an expected word such as 'library'. Thanks for your help and consideration. Please let me know if there is anything I should do. Balance person ( talk) 07:30, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

hello, Z1720! i had a question regarding this blurb for this article. i know that a full date is often mentioned in a blurb when it is relevant to the blurb's run date, and this blurb is scheduled to run on the 55th anniversary of dunstan's first inauguration as premier, as mentioned in your tfa nomination. however, i was not sure how best to insert it without going over the limit of 1025 characters. i am assuming that replacing "in 1967" with "on 1 June 1967" would be the best way to insert the date.
to make space for the addition, how do you feel about either replacing "Although he lost the 1967 election" with "After resigning in 1968", or dropping the "in 1999" at the end? the article states that dunstan resigned due to losing a vote of confidence after the 1968 state election, as his party had lost two seats in the election (although technically he had won the election in order to keep the seat for norwood), so i think this rewording may be more accurate. (in addition, i think "1967" may have been meant to be "1968".) also, dunstan's year of death is mentioned in the lifespan at the start of the blurb, so no information would be lost by dropping "in 1999". dying ( talk) 05:09, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Z1720, i had a question regarding this blurb for this article. would it be more appropriate to use the link " inertial reference frame" in the blurb, rather than " reference frame"? the article lead links to the more specific topic, though i was not sure if there was another reason for linking the more general topic in the blurb, such as a desire to avoid using overly technical terms on the main page. dying ( talk) 21:41, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi!

I noticed that you weren't autopatrolled when you set up your RfA.
Hi Z1720, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed' and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned prolific creators of articles where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.
Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.
Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Schwede 66 02:22, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

There isn't really a great way to collect data for this question – the best I could do is collect all of the viewcount data from July 2022, and measure it against the unadjusted hook length. Unsurprisingly, I found no correlation, linear or otherwise (m=-1.09 vph/char, R2=0.036). What would be a more insightful set of data is if we could measure the same hook fact in different wordings, through A/B testing. I'd be convinced that punchiness doesn't affect viewcount when I see that data turn up no correlation. theleekycauldron ( talk • contribs) (she/ they) 06:32, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I saw today on WP Evolutionary Biology that you've nominated this for FAR. Shame, if you'd put a note there instead of on the article's talk page a few weeks back, it'd all have been sorted by now. But we are where we are. I've today sourced the text, removed a few bits that seemed inapposite, renamed a couple of sections and removed some lists which didn't seem necessary. It certainly looks a lot better. I don't know whether it's possible to avoid the whole FAR machinery now that the lever has been pulled - that'd certainly be nicer; I'm basically allergic to reviews, and don't intend to make a habit of rescuing other people's work at FAR. But it'd be a pity if this grand old article by Rusty Cashman bit the dust, and there are very few editors left who seem to have the time, skill, or inclination to do serious work on evolutionary biology. Anything you can do will be gratefully appreciated. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 19:01, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Z1720, i had a quick question regarding this blurb for this article. was there a reason why leicester city was not mentioned in the blurb? i don't personally mind, but considering that all the other teams roberts played for appear to be mentioned in the blurb, i was worried that some main page readers familiar with roberts may consider it a deliberate slight. if it was only due to length considerations, i think we can add the team name if we replace "almost half as a player" with "almost half playing", "research into dementia" with " dementia research", and "has attributed" with "attributed". if it was simply an inadvertent oversight, that's also completely understandable.

I see over on Ian's talk page that you're asking about running a bio on someone's death date (in a case where the death date doesn't have independent significance, which is the usual case). I'm personally skeptical that this is a good idea, but I need to get more experience with scheduling before I'm willing to venture an opinion. In general, if we want to schedule an anniversary but the desired day is already taken, I prefer scheduling the day before (for countries just to the west of the International Date Line) or the day after (for the Americas). - Dank ( push to talk) 14:40, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
(I generally drop the numbers from a Wikipedian's name when addressing them, but if I call you "Z", most Americans will misread that as "Zee" ... One solution would be to call you "Zed", but only if that works for you.) Zed, I'm finishing up WT:Today's featured article/October 2023 now ... we haven't had any dinosaur or astronomy requests, so are we still going with Velociraptor, Solar System and Smooth toadfish? - Dank ( push to talk) 22:18, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Starting a new section so we can discuss these as they come up ... no rush on these, of course. Ian Rose and I have been chatting about 1 January ... see User talk:Ian Rose#Maybe a TFA on 1 January?. We're agreed that something Australia-worthy would be nice (to celebrate the founding of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901), but he doesn't have a specific suggestion for an article.

Thought to reach out. I personally don't think it was right to force the removal of the tag. There are clear issues about US-centricity. I think this still warrants a proper review - the issues haven't been addressed nor on the talk page nor in the article itself. Few editors are involved, so it's impossible to speak from a broad consensus on this. I don't think it's constructive to just force your viewpoint on this. Forcing viewpoints in valid constructive conversations tends to demotivate contributors who act in good faith. UlyssorZebra ( talk) 07:27, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
Regarding the user who added blatant copyright violations, is the copyvio combined with the POV pushing and worthless references enough to ban outright? Or are we more lenient than that overall?
I'm asking because I suspect there might be quite a lot of "Ottoman nationalism" in action who are targeting 16th century battles. The Battle of Preveza was full of exaggerated claims based on completely unreliable self-published crap in Turkish. Peter Isotalo 16:44, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello, I'm User Kiava. I'm attempting to contact you because I'm currently blocked, as you are aware. I'm unsure about the reasons behind the blocks imposed by these three administrators. It seems that they may have mistakenly blocked me. As you previously suggested, I am willing to adhere to the guidelines and keep my contributions simple on Wikipedia. However, the user whom the admin has blocked for me is not me. I want to clarify that I am only using one internet connection, which is my phone's internet, and both my phone and computer share the same IP address.I have always answered your questions with care, and I can confidently say that I have never told a lie in my entire life. Unfortunately, in this world, there are instances where people infringe upon the rights of others. I explicitly stated that my intention was not to initiate the creation of that particular page. My involvement was solely aimed at assisting the individual who sought my help. Moreover, you yourself pointed out that it was inappropriate to establish a page on this subject, and I promptly acknowledged your guidance. Regrettably, I was not afforded an opportunity to rectify the situation. Astonishingly, I wasn't even issued a warning throughout the entire five-year duration of my membership before being blocked.I have been blocked for the past two months, and I am uncertain whether I will be able to resume editing or not. The absence of a specified timeframe leaves me unable to reconcile with the notion that the management's decision to impose punishment is just. 174.193.205.91 ( talk) 09:35, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi Z1720, just wanted to let you know being maxed out on words, I just clarified some of my existing text at AE. [3] I just wanted to give a heads up in case you feel that significantly alters what you felt you were replying to and changes the meaning of your existing text in any way. A little more info below intended as an actual reply, so if you're fine with me copying that over to AE with an extension (I really don't want to add more than the below), I can do that. Otherwise this can be just side-clarification here. I mostly just want to make sure it's clear what I've been dealing with, what the aspersions principle has been crafted/used to address, and what I'm actually asking for since there seem to be misunderstandings about that:
I'll just briefly mention that back when crafting the principle at ArbCom, it was so AE could tamp down aspersion behavior like what you just described. Dealing with cases at AE like I listed for Tamzin, gaming the principle has been a common problem with exactly what you mentioned about I do not see how Leyo is specifically targeting KoA in their 2023 comments
. One where that really came out was
this case, and I suggest giving Tryptofish's comment there a read on but without saying which editors by username, and then wikilawyering that it cannot be an aspersion because it supposedly wasn't directed at anyone in particular, is utterly dishonest
. It's usually been long-term issues outlined at
WP:RUNAWAY we often deal with this behavior that's relevant for this interaction too.
Right now, I'm basically trying to address how the older problem sniping resumed when Leyo showed up at the user talk I was at shortly after me on June 2, 2023 with the certain users
comment, and then per the comments at the XRV for early August, followed me to
Dominion (2018 film) where they never edited and the admin tool abuse occurred. It's the hounding/aspersions behavior from the GMO subject Leyo has been alerted about 3 times that resulted in the spillover over elsewhere I'm trying to address at AE, not the admin tool use that would be more involved by going to ArbCom. The XRV close here is only to show just how much the pursuit behavior escalated elsewhere. That's partly why I didn't get into the mischaracterizations Leyo made at the August XRV about my edits within the GMO/pesticide CT area too (and due to space). June 2023 was just the recent restart of issues in this topic rather than a one-off to be clear.
Given what happened to me, all I'm asking for is a clear preventative measure (even if it's just a caution/warning) while acknowledging the problems caused by the behavior ArbCom already had to call out as disruptive in this subject. I'm just looking for clear assurance Leyo will not be following me around or poisoning the well on talk pages after the multiple cautions I gave them obviously did not work and the bristling attitude at XRV. Thanks. KoA ( talk) 21:16, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi Z, hope you're well. I noticed you marked Richard Temple-Nugent-Brydges-Chandos-Grenville, 3rd Duke of Buckingham and Chandos as ineligible due to "unreferenced sections". I think this sort of gets in at a complex question about referencing -- nothing requires every part of an article be referenced, including the OTD criteria (which are fairly clear in fact that CN tags don't make articles categorically ineligible, implying something slightly below MINREF can still pass). Lord Buckingham I'd say was a little below MINREF before I pulled out the article, but I cited the challenged-or-likely-to-be-challenged material before taking it to OTD. I don't think articles that pass MINREF but aren't GA "end of each paragraph" should be OTD-ineligible (especially given OTD explicitly states articles don't need to be quality-assessable) -- do you think this should be a requirement, and if so what problem do you think it would solve?

I would like to request your input on this article since you were the one who suggested it to me. There is a problem with one reference working properly, but I have my gnome friend who is a whiz-bang expert on refs taking a look at the problem. When that is fixed I think this article is good to go - if you agree. You were right btw - shorter is definitely easier.

Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Industrial agriculture/Evidence. Please add your evidence by November 8, 2023, which is when the evidence phase closes. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.

I saw you busy in the Selected anniversaries where I feel like a newcomer. We are approaching a tercentenary, of the birth of Carl Friedrich Abel, about whom several specific things could be said: he was the last viol virtuoso, a prolific composer (mostly for the instrument and other chamber music), he installed together with Bach's youngest son, his friend, the first subscription concerts in London, and one of his symphonies was attributed to W. A. Mozart. [4] Good to know. The least we could do is mentioning him under births, but I dream of presenting his beautiful portrait by a famous painter - look at that dog! Would you have a good idea for a blurb? A festival of celebration with a new award in his name happened already in his home town. [5] [6] -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 14:08, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

I think you have not edited since I left and deleted two messages about a reappraisal of an article, then left another, on the coordinators' talk page. I wanted to be sure so I am posting this message. I note in the message on the coordinators page that there are two pages on A assessments which deal at least in part with reappraisals or reassessments. I am a new coordinator and thought I ought to be able to understand and proceed with the reassessment. I now think I am not likely to gain certainty on how to proceed without some further advice or instruction. That is the gist of my message there, which I invite you to read.
I also note that the article is no longer A class, probably not GA and will need some citations at almost any level. So I agree the article needs reassessment. If no other coordinator responds in the near future, I will ping them in case they read earlier messages and think I am taking care of this. I should mention that I do not have the sources to use to fill in the citations or any other improvements which might appear necessary so I can't work to improve this article myself. Sorry for the confusion.

Hi Z1720. I'm looking forward to hopefully working with you next year in the event that you're elected. I read your
answer to a question in which you recommend referring AE threads without conclusion to ArbCom, and I would just note that in December, ArbCom amended its procedures to
provide that: A consensus of administrators at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard may refer an arbitration enforcement request to the Arbitration Committee for final decision through a
request for amendment.

Back to arbitration: did you check out the history of the infobox of Callas? Compare Jessye Norman, Kathleen Ferrier and Jenny Lind. Did you check out the history of Copland?

For making it easier to update the OTD pages themselves, I wanted to change the comment format for inelgible articles to be a list rather than table. Then we'd have a user script of some sort that makes it easier to re-arrange articles (maybe literal drag and drop?) and leave notes for ineligible ones. Curious if 1) this tool will help you out and if you'd like to see any other changes/features 2) if you have any thoughts regarding a user script for the second part!

The Arbitration Committee welcomes the following new and returning arbitrators following their election by the community. The two-year terms of these arbitrators formally begin on 1 January 2024:
Upon meeting the Wikimedia Foundation's criteria for access to non-public personal data and signing the Foundation's non-public information confidentiality agreement, all incoming arbitrators will be subscribed to all Committee-managed email lists, assigned the CheckUser and Oversight permissions for use in office, and given access to the CheckUser and Oversight queues on the VRTS system.
We also thank our outgoing colleagues whose terms end on 31 December 2023:
Outgoing arbitrators are eligible to retain the CheckUser and Oversight permissions, to remain active on cases accepted before their term ended, and to remain subscribed to the functionaries' and arbitration clerks' mailing lists following their term on the committee. To that effect:
