Hi,

Can I inquire as to your relationship and/or experiences with Mr. Huffman, or the reasons you've taken on a leadership role on this page? I want to avoid edit warring, but also want to avoid the injection of bias, for or against, into encyclopedic content, and I have some concerns that the article under your leadership has moved in that direction.

Hi Opencooper, I disagree with your changes to the Natural semantic metalanguage and Semantic primes pages. Wierzbicka's semantic primes are only one possible instance of the idea, with a long history including Antoine Arnauld and Leibniz. I think the table should be returned to the NSM article, with the semantic primes article instead giving a general overview of the idea and other attempts, and perhaps merged with Alphabet of human thought. -- Curiousdannii ( talk) 08:18, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
Either the piece is going to read correctly or its going to be edited every single day until it does. Wikipedia isn't your personal PR site, its a place where important events are tied to major public figures wikipedia pages in seperate sections. We can happily appeal if you feel otherwise. Reading your talk pages shows other users have had the same issue with your patrolling his page as his PR arm. We should probably appeal this as far as it needs to to make sure there isn't some bias in play.
What is hilarious is you are also the editor his paid "wikipedia group" chose to make edits to his page. Please move along to another page or appeal this change. Ill be reverting your changes going forward on that page until another admin steps in. — Preceding

Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

I'm fine with your last edit. Thanks for the clarification. But I wanted to clarify one matter with you: I didn't "stick it in the lead". It has been in the lead for at least six years, just improperly cited. But other than that, we're good. Happy editing. Sundayclose ( talk) 21:48, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
That looks very much like disruptive editing. Certainly not something I'd expect from someone with your experience. You know better than to make a change like that without a move request, let alone the fact that the books mentioned are all written by "Barry Fell". Virtually every source I've ever read about him uses the same name. It's a nickname for Barraclough. You don't have to change your name legally. I haven't used my first name for an extremely long time, and it's not on my passports (plural) or any legal documents. Doug Weller talk 13:48, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
care must be taken to avoid implying that a person who does not generally use all their forenames or who uses a familiar form has actually changed their name. Do not write, for example:
- John Edwards (born Johnny Reid Edwards, June 10, 1953).
(refer to the footnote for details on what is considered "conventionalized") Opencooper ( talk) 14:35, 14 November 2020 (UTC)It is not always necessary to spell out why the article title and lead paragraph give a different name. If a person has a common English-language hypocorism (diminutive or abbreviation) used in lieu of a given name, it is not presented between quotation marks or parentheses within or after their name.

Hi, I have been cleaning up Special:WantedTemplates and noticed that your javascript page is showing up in Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:$1. This is because the backend software is parsing the curly braces as templates. An easy way to fix this is to put
// <nowiki>
at the top of your script, and
// </nowiki>
at the bottom of your script. This won't impact the functionality, since they are in javascript comments, but will remove the pages from Special:WantedTemplates. Thanks in advance for your help! Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 14:36, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
I've been busy for a little while, but re Krimuk2.0's comment "John315 if you want more participants in order to form consensus, you could start a WP:RFC. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 12:47, 11 November 2023 (UTC)", I appreciate their idea, but could it be quicker if, say, just you and they (and maybe Kire1975) commented? You two (or three) seem to be the only ones raising questions about the length of Devery Jacobs quotes from the Lenker EW article. Thanks. (I just sent Krimuk2.0 a similar message) John315 ( talk) 09:15, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
I didn't see a "reply" tab after your last comment, so, a new post.
Below is what I sent to Krimuk2.0 after their reply, which said, "It's completely fine the way it is now imo.". I reference you there:
"Thanks, but I would like a little more latitude, if you would, please, as per reasons given below. --As noted previously, my own current version has 76 words within quotes (besides "Elora Danan Postoak"... from which I could actually remove the quotes), less than Justin Chang's 81-word quote length.
Moreover, one current quote in the "Indigenous response" section, "When it comes to Native representation, is Killers of the Flower Moon perfect? No. Is it progress? Yes. The film meaningfully moves the entertainment industry forward, making a strong statement that it's no longer acceptable to extract valuable assets from Indigenous communities – whether that be our stories or our natural resources – without our consent and input", is allowed to have, and has, 56 words.
A more recent quote there, "See it when and only if you feel ready, and see it with people you feel safe with. You'll likely have a lot of generational grief to process", has 28 words.
By contrast, your preferred version of my proposed post, has ...6 words of quotes: not 81, 76, 56, or even 28. Hmm.
So, seeing that others are given latitude I am not given so far, what do you think is the absolute maximum number of quoted words I should be allowed? I think 76 is fine, but if you want to argue for a lower number, with reasons, please let me know.
To allow me anything less than 56 words, the number that another entry there **currently has**, could look like an absurd double standard. I still prefer 76 words though. Thanks. ...Opencooper said something about paraphrasing, so, say, maybe I could paraphrase, or just omit, 20 words out of 76, to bring the count down to 56, if you wanted no more than 56.
I'll send a similar post to Opencooper's Talk page soon."
That was it. I think it's fair to ask for at least 56 words. Thanks. John315 ( talk) 02:04, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

You seem to give a rather speculative reason to the unconstructive edit of removing an AI-audio file which i uploaded. You seem to suggest that this needs to be discussed at the talk page of Haile Selassie, nonetheless as far as i am concerned i have not read any Wiki rule or Spoken Wikipedia rule which suggests otherwise than yourself, in addition i would like to point out that you called this "low-quality" which is drawn in a subjective line rather than Objective line. I believe this comes from your bases of the sorts (All AI-generated Wiki Spoken files are "low-quality") which again divulges into the bias and subjective line which does incline me to concern, since according to the Project their is non consensus or rules which bar or shadow ban or create an premises wherein that call any and all types of AI-generated text to speech audio low quality. I perfectly choose a human like non-robotic in voice texture to represent to the article a great deal. My last point even if you still feel that this is still a "low-quality" file please do create a subsection in the talk page where you give an appeal to remove this file, this is simply to cause and end to potential edit wars. Usually audios, images, texts which are already in place for dozens or several months or even years being removed due cause conflict and would be reverted, and even after being reverted another revert would not be the solution (That is if that opinion still holds) and then a constructive way would be for that person that disagrees with a contribution this case you, then simply create a discussion to remove the file.

Thanks for your advice! I did some research and found some really good references. I never created a Wikipedia page before, but I decided to give it a shot. What do you think? /info/en/?search=Draft:Dracula_(color_scheme) Carolinedmoreschi ( talk) 19:15, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for the education, in re the MOS and Bill Bryson. Learning every day here. —¿philoserf? ( talk) 05:51, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
OpenCooper.
What edit are you referring to? I checked the very small changes I made in February of 2020, and see nothing wrong, and certainly nothing either contentious or anecdotal.

I'm fine with your last edit. Thanks for the clarification. But I wanted to clarify one matter with you: I didn't "stick it in the lead". It has been in the lead for at least six years, just improperly cited. But other than that, we're good. Happy editing. Sundayclose ( talk) 21:48, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
That looks very much like disruptive editing. Certainly not something I'd expect from someone with your experience. You know better than to make a change like that without a move request, let alone the fact that the books mentioned are all written by "Barry Fell". Virtually every source I've ever read about him uses the same name. It's a nickname for Barraclough. You don't have to change your name legally. I haven't used my first name for an extremely long time, and it's not on my passports (plural) or any legal documents. Doug Weller talk 13:48, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
care must be taken to avoid implying that a person who does not generally use all their forenames or who uses a familiar form has actually changed their name. Do not write, for example:
- John Edwards (born Johnny Reid Edwards, June 10, 1953).
(refer to the footnote for details on what is considered "conventionalized") Opencooper ( talk) 14:35, 14 November 2020 (UTC)It is not always necessary to spell out why the article title and lead paragraph give a different name. If a person has a common English-language hypocorism (diminutive or abbreviation) used in lieu of a given name, it is not presented between quotation marks or parentheses within or after their name.

Hi Opencooper. Thank you for the multiple edits to both Shingo and Fourteen. It is great to see such improvements. By the way, I've read both series (in Japanese). I also went to the Zoku-Shingo art exhibit last weekend. Bendono ( talk) 05:05, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
Greetings! I've come across your recent edits and my curiosity is piqued. I'd like to know whether our own WP:MOS has explicit guidance about using real Unicode minus-signs with letter grades. As an education professional, I often assign grades with + or -, and so I'm curious about the guidance and advantages of converting those hyphens to Unicode glyphs. Thanks for any pointers you can offer! Elizium23 ( talk) 01:20, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
Hi, I have been cleaning up Special:WantedTemplates and noticed that your javascript page is showing up in Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:$1. This is because the backend software is parsing the curly braces as templates. An easy way to fix this is to put
// <nowiki>
at the top of your script, and
// </nowiki>
at the bottom of your script. This won't impact the functionality, since they are in javascript comments, but will remove the pages from Special:WantedTemplates. Thanks in advance for your help! Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 14:36, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
I've been busy for a little while, but re Krimuk2.0's comment "John315 if you want more participants in order to form consensus, you could start a WP:RFC. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 12:47, 11 November 2023 (UTC)", I appreciate their idea, but could it be quicker if, say, just you and they (and maybe Kire1975) commented? You two (or three) seem to be the only ones raising questions about the length of Devery Jacobs quotes from the Lenker EW article. Thanks. (I just sent Krimuk2.0 a similar message) John315 ( talk) 09:15, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
I didn't see a "reply" tab after your last comment, so, a new post.
Below is what I sent to Krimuk2.0 after their reply, which said, "It's completely fine the way it is now imo.". I reference you there:
"Thanks, but I would like a little more latitude, if you would, please, as per reasons given below. --As noted previously, my own current version has 76 words within quotes (besides "Elora Danan Postoak"... from which I could actually remove the quotes), less than Justin Chang's 81-word quote length.
Moreover, one current quote in the "Indigenous response" section, "When it comes to Native representation, is Killers of the Flower Moon perfect? No. Is it progress? Yes. The film meaningfully moves the entertainment industry forward, making a strong statement that it's no longer acceptable to extract valuable assets from Indigenous communities – whether that be our stories or our natural resources – without our consent and input", is allowed to have, and has, 56 words.
A more recent quote there, "See it when and only if you feel ready, and see it with people you feel safe with. You'll likely have a lot of generational grief to process", has 28 words.
By contrast, your preferred version of my proposed post, has ...6 words of quotes: not 81, 76, 56, or even 28. Hmm.
So, seeing that others are given latitude I am not given so far, what do you think is the absolute maximum number of quoted words I should be allowed? I think 76 is fine, but if you want to argue for a lower number, with reasons, please let me know.
To allow me anything less than 56 words, the number that another entry there **currently has**, could look like an absurd double standard. I still prefer 76 words though. Thanks. ...Opencooper said something about paraphrasing, so, say, maybe I could paraphrase, or just omit, 20 words out of 76, to bring the count down to 56, if you wanted no more than 56.
I'll send a similar post to Opencooper's Talk page soon."
That was it. I think it's fair to ask for at least 56 words. Thanks. John315 ( talk) 02:04, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

You seem to give a rather speculative reason to the unconstructive edit of removing an AI-audio file which i uploaded. You seem to suggest that this needs to be discussed at the talk page of Haile Selassie, nonetheless as far as i am concerned i have not read any Wiki rule or Spoken Wikipedia rule which suggests otherwise than yourself, in addition i would like to point out that you called this "low-quality" which is drawn in a subjective line rather than Objective line. I believe this comes from your bases of the sorts (All AI-generated Wiki Spoken files are "low-quality") which again divulges into the bias and subjective line which does incline me to concern, since according to the Project their is non consensus or rules which bar or shadow ban or create an premises wherein that call any and all types of AI-generated text to speech audio low quality. I perfectly choose a human like non-robotic in voice texture to represent to the article a great deal. My last point even if you still feel that this is still a "low-quality" file please do create a subsection in the talk page where you give an appeal to remove this file, this is simply to cause and end to potential edit wars. Usually audios, images, texts which are already in place for dozens or several months or even years being removed due cause conflict and would be reverted, and even after being reverted another revert would not be the solution (That is if that opinion still holds) and then a constructive way would be for that person that disagrees with a contribution this case you, then simply create a discussion to remove the file.
