Chiyo Miyako

Why did you delete the Chiyo Miyako page: User:ImDaniels1 8 August 2016

@ImDaniels1: I gave a reason when I redirected it: WP:NOPAGE. The article doesn't assert any notability that would justify a standalone page. clpo13(talk) 18:48, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
See also Wikipedia:WikiProject World's Oldest People#Notability. clpo13(talk) 18:50, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
@Clpo13: well I was going to expand the article, but you deleted it before I could do anything. ImDaniels 18:52, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
I didn't delete it, I redirected it. You can undo that if you're planning on expanding it. clpo13(talk) 18:54, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
@ImDaniels1: Well, it has been deleted now but not by me. If you're going to recreate it, I suggest you go through WP:AFC so you'll have ample time to work on it, or you can go to WP:REFUND or talk to the deleting administrator (Kudpung) if you want it back to work on some more. clpo13(talk) 18:58, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
@Clpo13: what about the other supercentenarian articles that are made and haven't got a lot of information. Are they okay?? ImDaniels 19:00, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #222

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

verifiability page

Hello CLpo13,

Thanks for the note on what is my first entry into Wikipedia. I appreciate the information and references.

I am however dismayed by this "judgement." What is the difference between citing the Make CA Count website vs. the oft referenced links to The National Popular Vote website? The reality is that nobody can refute what the Supreme Court will say with respect to the 12th Amendment rights because the case has not yet been made.

I will research how to cite within the article as I have not yet learned how to do this.

Thank you, USFairvoteUsfairvote (talk) 21:43, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

@Usfairvote: I have no opinion on the issue, but I did want you to know that information added to an article must be accompanied by a source. You can learn more about adding citations at Help:Referencing for beginners. clpo13(talk) 22:11, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

You´re mistaken, my last edits in Wikipedia were right

@Clpo13: , You´re mistaken, my last edits in Wikipedia were right


1) Anglo–Spanish War (1625–1630)


- Wikipedia link:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Spanish_War_(1625%E2%80%9330)


- Proof of my edit is right and the Anglo–Spanish War (1625–1630) was an spanish victory:


Frances Gardiner Davenport, European treaties bearing on the history of the United States and its Dependencies, Washington D.C. 1917 Page 305.Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).

2) Anglo-Spanish War (1585–1604)



- Wikipedia link:



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Spanish_War_(1585%E2%80%931604)#cite_note-Morgan-1


- Proof of my edit is right and the Anglo–Spanish War (1585–1604) was an spanish victory:


"The first item of James' agenda was to bring to a close the long standing war with Spain. This was done by the Treaty of London in August 1604. Its terms were flagantry generous to the Spanish, the first black mark against the new king. Moreover James, unlike Elizabeth, had every intention of honoring them." Burgess, Douglas: The Pirates' Pact: The Secret Alliances Between History's Most Notorious Buccaneers and Colonial America. McGraw-Hill Professional, 2008, page 29. ISBN 0-07-147476-5Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).


(this proof appears in the wikipedia link itslef of the treaty of london of 1604 in the note number 10)


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_London_(1604)




3) War of Jenkins' Ear



- Wikipedia link:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_Jenkins%27_Ear



- Proof of my edit is right and the War of Jenkins' Ear was an spanish victory:


Casado Rabanal, David (2009). La Marina Ilustrada. Sueño y Ambición de la España del XVIII. Ediciones Antigona - Ministerio de Defensa. ISBN 978-84-92531-06-6. Page 250.Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).



I´ve just cited the proofs to demostrate my edits are right. I hope that the fact of my edits were removed is based only in a mistaken instead of in an attemp of not recognizing some historical evidences....


Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.77.253.151 (talk) 16:50, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi Clpol13

Regarding the use of the word "Prominent" - that is just a well-documented fact. It's not subjective, as the word "prominent" can refer to someone/something that's negative or it can be positive -- its completely neutral and takes no position one way or the other. Please reconsider your edit. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:199:4100:DE0:D4B3:D939:5240:4150 (talk) 21:06, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #223

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

The Heat is On!

You were right. I definitely took heat for that action! An ANI discussion from an ANI discussion, I might just stay away from that noticeboard. I still think it was the right thing to do though. -- Dane2007 talk 21:02, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

I agree. Whatever certain editors may say, an RFC will be a clear indicator of consensus one way or the other. clpo13(talk) 21:04, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
That's what I feel like too. And none of them have added a comment to the RfC yet so I find that interesting. Rather than be productive they want to argue about it. -- Dane2007 talk 21:07, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Edit war at Hannah Primrose, Countess of Rosebery

Please undo your recent change on this article, removing the hidden comment. You may be unaware that the article is currently being discussed at WP:AN3 and joining an edit war already in progress can cause general unhappiness. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 21:46, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

I was unaware of that but I will not revert unless someone gives me a good reason why there should be two comments to the same effect. clpo13(talk) 21:47, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

EXCUSE ME, SIR!!

At what point did I not type ~~~~ at the end of a comment? No need to blast my talk page with an ugly message! [[Vic]] 06:16, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Your signature is improper, which is why Sinebot was adding a signature to your posts. It should have a link to your user page or user talk page. See WP:SIGLINK. clpo13(talk) 06:19, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

User:Gap520

Clpo13, I think the warning you issued to Gap5200 was a little bit harsh, especially when it was obvious the removal of content they made to 2020 Summer Olympics was a duplication of the first paragraph from the section 2020 Summer Olympics#Development and preparation. I have the page on my watchlist , and at first was about to do the same and revert their edit for blanking. But when I noticed they removed duplicate content, I left it there and assume good faith. Anyhow, I have fixed the problem and given the user a nice welcome. Perhaps a plate of cookies or some Wikilove from yourself might be a nice gesture to make!? Wes Mouse ✒ 00:20, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

I may have been hasty in reverting (a new account removing information without an edit summary is usually suspect), but I don't think my warning was overly harsh. clpo13(talk) 06:20, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
Bit of a contradictory statement and a half is that one. You acknowledge you were hasty in reverting a newbie who actually made a constructive edit, yet still felt it right to issue them a warning for an edit which was constructive and helpful? So your warning to the newbie was incorrectly issued, as you have warned them for doing something bad, when in actual fact they did something good. You can't let the warning stand just because it was your bad judgement for not spotting their constructive edit. Nice way to scare of newcomers, when Wikipedia is dwindling in editors as it is. The poor guy/gal will be thinking they did something wrong. Do the right thing, remove the warning, and give them some wikilove as a goodwill and apologetic gesture.

Wrong date of birth

Think about it for a moment.

The date of birth is wrong. We know it's wrong because the birth certificate exists. There are links for both the right and the wrong date of birth.

Why would we choose the wrong one?

Imagine if all the Wikipedia was based on that principle. What would its value be? It would not have a zero value, it would have a negative value as a corrupter of factual information.

Why fight against the fact?

--Suchprose (talk) 08:21, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited William Tete Luo, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Prodigy. 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.

MacArthur

There has been a long history of undisclosed WP:COI editing happening at John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, mostly by members of that organization's social media team and possibly others as well. In tandem with that, as you have noticed, is an odd and inexplicable effort to whitewash the organization's history and ideological origins from the page. If current edit warring persists, I will file a report at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. Thanks for your efforts to preserve well-sourced content. Safehaven86 (talk) 22:26, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

I get the feeling certain parties object to the label of liberal as a smear of sorts, especially given the opposition to "unabashedly conservative sources" like WSJ. Hopefully there won't be any further edit warring, but I would support an RfC to get further input on this if necessary. clpo13(talk) 22:38, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
Unfortunately it came to this. I don't mind discussion and compromise, but I do not understand why in a 2:1 situation, the "1" would assume the default version of the article would be their preferred version. Safehaven86 (talk) 01:45, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Then you do so well. :D Took a quick peek at your edit history, looks like you keep yourself nicely busy. :) I see that like me you appear to mostly split your time between gnomish/maintenance work and vandal-fighting with some content work scattered in between? AddWittyNameHere (talk) 23:39, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
Yep, that's me. I've been trying to work on more content recently, but I tend to stick to the minor stuff for the most part. clpo13(talk) 23:48, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
Yeah, same here. Content work every blue moon (or when I need a break from adding the same category to hundreds of articles, anyway), highly repetitive minor and vandal fighting the rest of the time. Oh well, even if some (thankfully not most, though) folks look down on us gnomes, someone needs to repair dab-links, fix cite-errors, add categorization, add missing diacritics, repair double-redirects and sort stubs, no?

Corbyn

Hi -- you removed the notice about a 1RR restriction from the talk page of Jeremy Corbyn, saying that it should go in "edit notices". Did you add it somewhere else? I don't see this indication when clicking on edit for the article. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 10:35, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

@Nomoskedasticity: I had it added to Template:Editnotices/Page/Talk:Jeremy Corbyn since I thought it was already at Template:Editnotices/Page/Jeremy Corbyn. Looking closer at that page, it looks like it's a slightly different template and was set to expire last October, which is why it's not showing up.

Guild of Copy Editors September 2016 News

Hello everyone, and welcome to the September 2016 GOCE newsletter.

>>> Sign up for the September Drive, already in progress! <<<

July Drive: The July drive was a roaring success. We set out to remove April, May, and June 2015 from our backlog (our 149 oldest articles), and by 23 July, we were done with those months. We added July 2015 (66 articles) and copy-edited 37 of those. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from June 2016. Well done! Overall, we recorded copy edits to 240 articles by 20 editors, reducing our total backlog to 13 months and 1,656 articles, the second-lowest month-end total ever.

August Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 21 through 27 August; the theme was sports-related articles in honor of the 2016 Summer Olympics. Of the eight editors who signed up, five editors removed 11 articles from the backlog. A quiet blitz – everyone must be on vacation. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all editors who took part.

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Jonesey95, Corinne and Tdlsk.

Cute, so because one person thinks that it's ok to include unsourced irrelevant information about a foreign country in strictly domestic television networks it will be done? That's stupid, it's like saying the FCC now controls all television signals globally, so BBC better be prepared to start censoring according to the FCC guidelines because BBC America broadcasts on cable in the US. It's a stupid conflict that Mrs Chimpf thinks they can win. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.240.231.252 (talk) 19:03, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

I don't care what the dispute is, just don't edit war over it. Use the talk page instead. clpo13(talk) 19:07, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

rodeo

would you care to explain what you mean by that term, and what did you want to add to my talk with Jeh by it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Poponuro (talk • contribs) 22:26, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

I mean, it's obvious that you edited under a prior account (you even admitted it in the diff I provided). There's nothing wrong with opening a new account, so long as you make acknowledge it (WP:VALIDALT) and don't use both at the same time for improper purposes (WP:ILLEGIT). clpo13(talk) 22:30, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

It's obvious. I acknowledged that fact. I never logged back (nor looked back), as you can easily check by the date of last contribution and logon on the prior account. I don't have access to it, because I changed the password to a sentence that doesn't yet exist in any language. When the amount of bits required to randomly generate it with the use of the millions of monkeys editing Wikipedia will flow through the internet, poponuro will die, and vaxquis will rise again.

No rule has been broken, at least as far as I'm concerned; yet still, you hadn't answered my question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Poponuro (talk • contribs) 23:01, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
