This is an interesting problem. The mistake I made is linking to Imam Muhammad, when it should have been linked to Muhammad. The problem is what to do about the honorific? Also, what to do about the statement that follows which looks like an interpretation of a statement in the Koran which is attributed to Muhammad? Fixing this is tricky.

Question

I would like your opinion on a subject that is near to my heart at Wikipedia, and that is the issue of “trivia” and the difference between “trivia” and “In Public Culture” and similar section titles. It's my opinion that for the most part, “In Public Culture” sections are a way around a general “dislike” for “trivia” sections, but that the content is the same, that the two titles are synonyms. Wikipedia “discourages” so-called “trivia” but does not disallow it. My point is that “In Public Culture” is almost always “trivia”, and we should strive for honesty. If it's “Trivia”, call it “Trivia”. I feel that it is disingenuous to call trivia “In Public Culture” simply because it is considered “low class”. I say, call it what it is or get rid of it. Your opinion? By the way, again, I'm sorry for being a “douche” to you in the past, I'm working on not being “passive aggressive” ... Am I barking up the wrong tree here? =//= Johnny Squeaky 03:36, 7 September 2013 (UTC) reply

Personally I think trivia is a waste of brain cells and a waste of time. However, there is some trivia that is the "common knowledge" and then perhaps worth mentioning. I probably wouldn't mention it but people (fans) of the topic might consider the information to be very important. I'm having a tough time thinking of an example so I'll make one up. Let's say you invent Sham Wow II and become rich and famous. You get your own Wiki page and your face on the cover of all the magazines you see in the grocery store isle. Next, pretend you own an orange cat named "Shammy". That fact would be trivia. I don't think it belongs on your wiki page. On the other hand, say one night Shammy decides to sleep on your face (as cats will do) and you suffocated to death...then Shammy may be of some historical and cultural significance. I could conceive of a "In Public Culture" section of the article where a "Shammy" is referred to in popular culture as a "particularly embarrassing death" or when people started giving people they hate orange cats as passive-aggressive way of saying, "choke on this". If you give me an article that illustrates what you are talking about I'll look at and give you a better answer. I hope that was helpful. War ( talk) 06:17, 7 September 2013 (UTC) reply

Your draft article, Draft:CrossFit Games

Hello, War. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled " CrossFit Games".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code.

On the other hand, say one night Shammy decides to sleep on your face (as cats will do) and you suffocated to death...then Shammy may be of some historical and cultural significance. I could conceive of a "In Public Culture" section of the article where a "Shammy" is referred to in popular culture as a "particularly embarrassing death" or when people started giving people they hate orange cats as passive-aggressive way of saying, "choke on this". If you give me an article that illustrates what you are talking about I'll look at and give you a better answer. I hope that was helpful. War ( talk) 06:17, 7 September 2013 (UTC) reply

Disambiguation link notification for September 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Amish Mafia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Brethren ( 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.

Isn't that wp:synth, taking the percentage of who agree with You believe there is a God and calling the remainder as did not agree with the stand "I believe there is a God". I wouldn't call the ones who answered You believe there is some sort of spirit or life force exactly atheist either. I would think that the ones who agree with You don’t believe there is any sort of spirit, God or life force would be the number to display. What do you think? I assume you are referring to pg 381 of the Eurobarometer document? Cheers Jim1138 ( talk) 10:03, 21 July 2014 (UTC) reply

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:CrossFit Games, a page you created, has not been edited in 6 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot ( talk) 01:31, 12 June 2015 (UTC) reply

Your draft article, Draft:CrossFit Games

Hello, War. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled " CrossFit Games".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by one of two methods (don't do both): 1) follow the instructions at WP:REFUND/G13, or 2) copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Draft:CrossFit Games}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, and click "Save page". An administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. HasteurBot ( talk) 02:00, 18 July 2015 (UTC) reply

My draft was copied word-for-word by another user with added some references and re-submitted it. It exists as an article now. To bad I don't get any credit for my work. :-(. War ( talk) 01:04, 6 August 2015 (UTC) reply

Would you mind considering...

The IP to which you responded at talk:x86-64, 175.19.66.153 , is a confirmed sockpuppet of long-indef-blocked LTA Janagewen. (See his SPI archive, as well as his block log here at en, and also at five other WM projects, and finally, a global lock on all other WikiMedia projects as seen here). This most recent IP has already been blocked but he will no doubt show up under another IP soon. I strongly recommend Revert-Block-Ignore, consistent with WP:DENY and WP:DFTT. There is no possible good that can come of engaging with him, even on the rare occasions when he makes a constructive comment or suggestion. RBI and move on.

Sorry, I meant on *my* talk page here: User_talk:Vladsinger#Please_correct_57_bit_canonical_addresses_image. I'm going to step out of this debate now since I don't know the subject well enough, but I think they were right - the previous caption on the image was inconsistent, needs to be 56 bit and 56 bit diagram (which you reverted to) or the 57 bit and what they claim to be the correct diagram for the 57 bit design.
