About Me

I realize that I have strong deletionist and immediatist instincts, which I will work to control. I have OCD which is why I often edit for MOS consistency, which can mean anything from dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy formatting to fixing or tagging barereflinks to removing or delinking (depending on the age and relative importance) of redlinks. Nobody said I was perfect. Quis separabit? 15:24, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Words of wisdom from a cherished source

Robert - feel free to blank this again, as is your right, but can I just ask you to slow down for a minute and step back from this? You're fast approaching old territory again. I know you mean well here, and I've supported you in the past. Just ... chill, take it easy, and careful with the comments about others - Alison 22:02, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DELETION OF INFOBOXES

I occasionally delete infoboxes from articles I have edited if the infobox in question is almost empty or otherwise of little or no utility, based on the following from WP:MOS (Wikipedia:Manual of Style (infoboxes)): “The most important group to consider are the casual readers of Wikipedia, who will never do any significant editing. Infobox templates that contain many blank fields, question marks and unknowns present an unprofessional appearance, diminishing Wikipedia’s reputation as a high-quality encyclopedia.” Quis separabit? 22:46, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edna O'Brien Article

I removed the Philip Larkin quote from the Edna O'Brien because I felt it was very obtuse to content of the actual article. Yes, O'Brien "talked about sex" before the "sexual revolution" but despite how well-known the Philip Larkin poem is as pertaining to this period, it sounds absolutely obtuse to somebody who has not read the poem. While the reference is kind of funny, I strongly feel that Philip Larkin cannot be trust to be some sort of Dionysius Exiguus as to precisely dating the "sexual revolution", unless of course you know of a case where O'Brien mentions the situation herself, as pertaining to the line of the poem. As it stands, Larkin seems to have said nothing about Edna O'Brien's career directly, (and she seems to have said nothing about his. Robinson, Roth, O'Hagan and the others are specifically talking about her career. The fact that Larkin is mentioned at all is because some genius at the Telegraph wanted a good opening.

Besides saying "three years before the Chatterley Ban and the Beatles First LP" sounds to somebody who doesn't know the poem (and evens some who do)...

1. Like it the publication of Country Girls three years before the expurged publication of Lady Chatterlay's Lover, at which point Ms. O'Brien would have been "introducing sexual intercourse to Ireland" at the tender age of negative five years old.

2. Like the expurged publication of Lady Chatterley's Lover was the same date as the Beatle's First LP.

3. Like nobody talked about or had sex before Philip Larkin first had sex, a time which he admits was rather late.

This would be clever writing if it were in a newspaper, or even an academic article, but on Wikipedia, it feels like we're shoe-horning in a reference where it does not belong. I would strongly suggest removing it, if for no other reason than translation. Philip Larkin is largely an Anglo-American phenomena, and Ms. O'Brien's books are still widely translated.

If you do want to keep it, I would strongly suggest writing at least a rudimentary article about Annus Mirabilis so that everybody who is confused about the reference is simply redirected to the Philip Larkin page and assumes something sexual about his and Ms. O'Brien's relationship (which I'm certain never existed).

P.S. I only slightly edited this on realizing it was a quote from a review. But I stand by what I said. The reference is quite obtuse and there are far better ways about talking about the sociological effect of Ms. O'Brien's writings about sex. --Artimaean (talk) 01:19, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. Notability does not depend on having English-language sources about you; the featured article Chrisye is built almost entirely on Indonesian-language references. That being said, if I'm not mistaken Google Translate handles Farsi, in which case the references should be fairly easy to verify. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:01, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Spaces between parameters in citation templates

Hello, I would like to ask you not to close up any spaces you may find between the parameters in citations that use templates, as you have at Jimmy Savile. These spaces have been deliberately put there by me and others. It makes no difference to the output that the reader sees, but it improves the layout of the editing window and the diffs, so clarifying what is where and making editing easier. Thanks -- Alarics (talk) 09:55, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Dick Coetzee

While I can appreciate the need for fairness on the Wiki, stripping the Vlakplaas reference from Coetzee is akin to writing an article about Heinrich Himmler without mentioning the SS or Josef Mengele without mentioning Auschwitz. It is part of the legacy. He was commander of a police group that went out and acted as a death squad without regard or remorse. he did not deny it and was pardoned only from prosecution after he turned evidence over to the UN and those investigating war crimes. I have left off the apartheid reference, but replaced the Vlakplaas reference on his tag line. He once gave an account of what it was like to barbeque someone on a spit, including the smell of the meat. Here is some further reading on the subject. http://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2013-03-08-jacques-pauw-on-vlakplaas-apartheid-assassin-dirk-coetzee/ Sunnydoo (talk) 08:14, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Categories

Hello. Thank you for setting me straight on the Category: Disease-Related Deaths. Now that I understand what it categorizes, it does make sense as a catch-all category. The only problem I see with it is how huge the list would be, and what use would someone make of it. For instance, I gather statistics on specific causes of death, and the category lists are very useful to me. I just don't know if it's necessary to have such a general category. Those are my thoughts. - Michael David (talk) 19:15, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

POV

If RS sources report that person x though y about z, that is not "POV". If reported as such. POV is wp editor POV. Similarly, the article already has a "puppy dog" description of one brother -- it is in the article for the same reason. Thus, please do not delete RS supported views of person x by person y, under the theory that they are "pov." Furthermore, no blp issues apply. And, even if they did, we report what the RSs say, with a public figure.--Epeefleche (talk) 21:02, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously, check out her talk page before an admin takes it down. I have no issue with you (and you actually seem like a stand up editor - one of the reasons why I took issue with Ms. Parker's boychick comment). That being said, I don't know you and have no intention of finding anything about you in the "world".

First of all, thanks for you helpful edits! I will do some minor changes according to what I've talked to other users on previous PR's. If you don't agree with some change I'll made, we can discuss on the talk page. Cheers, Lordelliott (talk) 23:14, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I've made the changes. I've restored this passage: "Throughout the 1980s, Cher appeared in film roles where she served as a social intermediary to disenfranchised male characters.[210] She showcased her status as an independent woman by interacting with Eric Stoltz's elephantiasis victim in Mask (1985), Liam Neeson's mute homeless veteran in Suspect (1987), and Nicolas Cage's socially isolated baker with a wooden hand in Moonstruck (1987).[210] Mermaids (1990) made use of her "strong, sexually assertive" image.[211] According to Jeff Yarbrough of The Advocate, Cher was "one of the first superstars to 'play gay' with compassion and without a hint of stereotyping", as she portrayed a lesbian in the 1983 film Silkwood.[212]"
Why do you think it isn't valuable to the article? We can discuss on the article's talk page. Overall, great work. Lordelliott (talk) 00:10, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hedy Lamarr

Long time no chat. Sorry if you already know all this: we can't cite unpublished/unverifiable sources for a fact in an article footnote, such as an email to you, as in this edit. I won't revert, because the book agrees. But it is best practice with private sources to bring OTRS into it. So, forward the email discussion you had with Loder (the less edited the better) to OTRS (volunteers-otrs(at)wikimedia.org) requesting that OTRS confirm on article Talk or in the article edit summary, "1914 verified - OTRS ticket #####". OTRS does that when contacted by the public, to throw an anchor onto disputes over birth year. Alternatively, have Hedy's son email them directly. But either way, please, in the introductory text of the email, include some way to verify that the email really did come from Loder (phone number, or website which shows the email address, or business contact, book, journal article etc. Not facebook, myspace, etc). I've done it before - if questions, ask. --Lexein (talk) 14:40, 11 November 2013 (UTC) Please respond here - I watchlist.[reply]

Hello, Rms125a@hotmail.com. With regard to the Anne Heche article, I can't yet decipher all of what you changed; I'm sure I'll disagree with your definition of "promotion" in this case once I do decipher all of it (though I likely won't revert/raise the matter as an issue). But, with regard to using italics for the entire quotes, that violates WP:Italics (which has a Quotations subsection in addition to the other subsections it has, such as with regard to what is appropriate emphasis). Flyer22 (talk) 16:24, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if you reply to me about this, I'd prefer that you reply here at your talk page so that the discussion is kept in one place. Flyer22 (talk) 16:25, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

On a side note: Regarding this, be careful with the word claim; I usually remove that word (plural or not), per WP:CLAIM. The only reason that I did not remove it from the gay father bit (which was there before your edits to that section today) is because Heche is making a serious/heavy claim about a person. But for Heche stating that she was "insane for the first 31 years of her life," the word claims absolutely should not be used. Regarding the messages you left on my talk page, blockquotes are not much better because, per WP:Blockquote, quotes should be a certain length (the length WP:Blockquote specifies) before being put into blockquote. And too many blockquotes can give an article a messy look. As for having split this discussion because you were late to getting my second message above, no worries; I will simply post a WP:Permalink (a second if required) of this discussion there, which will show the complete discussion. I was able to deduce, from seeing your talk page, that you split discussions; that is what propelled to me to request that you don't split this one. Flyer22 (talk) 16:48, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Flyer22: Oh, good. I don't know how to do Permalinks and stuff like that. No excuses, just never learned. Too lazy, old dog, new tricks, etc. Although I must point out that I wasn't exactly "late to getting my second message above"; if anything I guess I responded too quickly to your first message! Funny, that!

L'Wren Scott

Thanks Robert for developing this crucial page that was incredibly visited by 222,000 viewers just yesterday... http://stats.grok.se/en/latest/L%27Wren_Scott It needed a great revamp though and adding of missing pieces, like her previous marriage, circumstances of her suicide and financial status of her businesses which I now have reworked.

Jack Little (politician)

You claimed that Jack Little was one of two non-Catholics in the ALP (anti-Communist), the original name of the DLP, in the Victorian Parliament, whereas previously it was stated that he was the only one. He was the only non-Catholic. The other non-Catholic parliamentarian was Robert Joshua, the House of Representatives Member for Ballarat, and the leader of the ALP (anti-Communist) in the federal parliament. Joshua was never a member of the Victorian Parliament. The original comment was correct, and should be changed back, or at least qualified with a reference to Joshua's membership of the federal parliament.Noreen45 (talk) 23:00, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Keating

For your information, Charles Keating is a GA article with an active maintainer (me). Please do not remove deadlink sources just because they are no longer immediately accessible. Please see Wikipedia:DEADLINK#Mitigating_a_dead_link: "Do not delete a URL just because it has been tagged with [dead link] for a long time." Statements like "Keating graduated from St. Xavier in 1941.[4]" should not be replace with "citeneeded" flags just because the URL no longer works. Statements like these are still adequately sourced, it's just harder to get at the source. Thanks. Wasted Time R (talk) 02:08, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand your comment "I was just trimming in light of Keating's recent death". Just because the subject died doesn't mean the article has to be shortened. The diffs of your edits are very difficult to follow (that's the fault of WP software, not you). Can you tell me what you think is wrong with the article in terms of content? I see comments like "POV", "OR", "cruft" - what exactly? Wasted Time R (talk) 02:26, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I just restored the deadlink I removed. As far as POV, I would say terms like "Indeed" (not in quotes), or "well known", rather than just "known", depending on the circumstances. Stuff like that. Why don't you compare the diffs and see if the article doesn't look a tad better. If not tell me where I screwed up. Yours, Quis separabit? 02:32, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You don't need to put "ISBN needed" on all the short form book cites; its in the long form in each book's first cite. (Better would be to move those books into a bibliography section.) You have eliminated what you think are redundant cites but they are actually needed for me to tell what text goes with what cite. You've put all the quotes in italics; what MoS guideline says to do that? You've taken the life out of some of the wording: "In late 1988, Keating began desperate attempts to sell Lincoln" is based on sources and conveys to the reader much better the feeling of what was happening than "In late 1988, Keating began attempts to sell Lincoln". If the source says it was desperate, why can't we say it was desperate? That's not "POV", that's engaging prose, what articles are supposed to aspire to. And most of what you've changed I won't even be able to figure out without doing a side-by-side walkthrough of the formatted articles before and after - parts of that big diff are completely unmanageable. Sigh. You don't know how many hours I spent researching and writing this one. What can I say. Wasted Time R (talk) 02:50, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No I don't want to revert all your edits. I just want a change to the culture here where every article is automatically considered unsatisfactory and unmaintained, in need of cleaning up, rearranging, reformatting, cruft removal, etc, all in sweeping edits with little explanation. And that whenever the subject is in the news it's open season on the article. Some articles are actually pretty good and had people work really hard to make them that way. I've been here a long time and of course I know that in WP you get no credit for work done and no credit for knowing a lot about the subject and no credit for having thought a long time about the article and that everything can be redone by others. But still. Wasted Time R (talk) 03:10, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

ISBNs for DLP article

A heading has been placed above the DLP (historical) article claiming that ISBN numbers should be included for some references. There were no ISBN numbers shown on books before somewhere about 1970. The books shown in the references by Tom Truman and Alan Dalziel I think do not have ISBN numbers shown inside their covers because they were published earlier than 1970. An editor with a keen interest on Hungarian-Australians has inserted reference numbers from the National Library of Australia for some books without ISBN numbers. Perhaps I could do this?

Also two very important references seem to have been removed. These are the book by Paul Reynolds with the title Democratic Labor Party and the book by Robert Murray on The Split. I can restore these later when I'm up to it, as I have been ill lately following surgery. Thank you for your comment on my talk page.

Sorry, but I cannot follow your reasoning “you may be right (see talkpage discussions), but you can't just delete sourced text with which you disagree)” to delete my latest revision. So you agree that based on the discussion it may be right to remove the two sentences about Abt. But then you say it cannot be deleted just because it is sourced text? Well, if something does not really make sense, I see no reason to keep it, do you? Furthermore I think Abt’s book is not a source for criticism. He doesn’t know Shin and doesn’t know about the human rights situation in North Korea. He just read the story in the newspaper and made a marginal note in his book. This does not really qualify as a source, at least not for this article. Wikipedia Verifiability says “While information must be verifiable in order to be included in an article, this does not mean that all verifiable information must be included in an article. Consensus may determine that certain information does not improve an article, and that it should be omitted or presented instead in a different article. The onus to achieve consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content.” Exactly this applies to the two sentences I removed. I think some time ago this was included, as someone thought that there must be a kind of criticism section. But he did not find any better source than Abt’s book (and this fact should tell us something). Anyway now we have the North Korean government as source for criticism and do not need the other poor source anymore. So I do not see any reason to keep the two sentences. -- Gamnamu (talk) 16:53, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

RE: How am I supposed to know what you are going to write about? Quis separabit? 18:33, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing that 179th and 180th New York State Legislature are blue links, there's a good chance that after 180 articles there will be coming more... Besides, the red links of unquestionably notable subjects should not be removed. The "What links here" function shows an editor, at the time of writing an article, where the subject was mentioned already. That helps a lot to dig up facts.

Adolfo Müller-Ury

Hello, I see you have reverted some further information I added from the obituary of Stuart Preston which I thought was pertinent and interesting since he does not have his own Wikipedia entry. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/stuart-preston-11184.html In truth I don't know how to add references, and all my attempts as a result of your prompting have failed and I have not saved them. Maybe you can add this reference and then I will see if I can get it to work myself? Stephen — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephen Conrad (talk • contribs) 11:21, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Robert I don't know why you deleted the section on Muller-Ury's critical assessment which I based on one in another artist's page ages ago which was far more subjective than mine. You appeared to accept the changes when I revised it before, and as I can't spend all my time writing for Wikipedia and have only recently begun adding the references you wanted, it is very disheartening that you remove perfectly factual statements. As I have seen more Muller-Ury pictures than anyone else living, I think Wikipedia should accept that I know what I am talking about and that I did not add the section without thought; I may be "close" to the research, but I am trying to make it more accurate all the time as my research and writing of his biography progresses, and in any case you deleted what is a quotation from a source mentioned in the section, and which I had not yet got around to amending the way you want, with a footnote. Please revert the section and allow me time to make changes with references. Thank you in advance.

Hello Robert Please would you not put the section on Adolfo Muller-Ury's third cousin Hildegarde Muller-Uri ahead of other information about HIM, as it makes no sense whatsoever; she is really part of the Lost Colony of Artists in San Augustine, and really I only put her in Muller-Ury's entry at the end until such time as I could get more information about her to create her own page, which she deserves. Placing her in the middle of Muller-Ury's article is extremely misleading. And why delete all the other facts about her, which you can read online in the Lost Colony articles? If you don't know about these obscure American painters, then you will cause confusion by inserting it in the middle, and I have spent twenty years researching Muller-Ury and don't want my hard efforts in search of facts undone. Thank you. It might be better if you communicated with me, rather than just reverting things. When I worked on a related page on Count Antoine Seilern, the editors were more helpful in discussing changes. Thank you in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephen Conrad (talk • contribs) 16:22, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Right to work

Hi Rms125a@hotmail.com, this is what I saw:

On March 9, 2015, Walker signed legislation making Wisconsin a right to work state.[135] In 2012 he told reporters at the state Republican Party convention that right-to-work legislation "It’s not going to get to my desk ... I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure it isn't there because my focal point (is) private sector unions have overwhelmingly come to the table to be my partner in economic development."[136]

While campaigning for re-election in 2014, Walker said he had no plans to pursue right-to-work legislation focused on private unions, and "private sector unions are my partner in economic development." Once the legislation was initiated in the state legislature, Walker stated: "I haven't changed my position on it, it just wasn't a priority for me. But should they pass it within the next two weeks, which is their target, I plan on signing it."[137]

Template: Year article header

Hi Robert - thanks for your appreciation. I've noticed that the text at the top of 1927 is garbled:

1927 (MCMXXVII) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar (dominical letter B), the 1927th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 927th year of the 2nd millennium, the 27th year of the 20th century, and the 8th year of the 1920s decade between 1583 and 1929 and with Julian Value: 1927 is 13 calendar days difference, which continued to be used until the complete conversion of the Gregorian calendar was entirely done in 1929.

Everything after the word 'decade' is pretty much incomprehensible. This must be a problem with the template {{Year article header}}, I think. I've raised the matter on the template's talk page, but I've also noticed that another editor raised the same issue 9 months ago, to no effect. Might this be something you know anything about? I can't even work out whereabouts in the template code this text is generated. Colonies Chris (talk) 16:44, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

a couple of requests

When you withdrew your AFD of Marcy Borders you wrote: "I was focusing on 9/11 aspect but apparently the notability in this case was the iconic photograph. Live and learn." Sorry, I don't think that you came very close to recognizing your mistakes, here. For starters.

  1. captured in an iconic photo;
  2. 9-11 survivor who subsequently succumbed to cancer at an early age;
  3. fully profiled in multiple articles, in multiple notable publications, across a range of years;
  4. specifically invited to appear as a representative at remembrance events, for instance she was flown to Germany for a remembrance event of the tenth anniversary of 9-11;
  5. subject of a play;
  6. notable enough to be recognized by a nickname -- "dust lady".

In your nomination you wrote: "I must be a heartless bastard. It's just not fair to others who survived and who died from the 9/11 attacks and have no other claims to notability." You got that approximately right. A long, long time ago some wikipedia contributors seemed prepared to try to cover every 9/11 victim, every 9/11 survivor, and a whole bunch their friends and relatives too. The general consensus was to only cover individuals who first became known through an association with 9-11 if they subsequently measured up to the GNG criteria.

What you have overlooked is that a surprising number of survivors, victims, and some relatives HAVE subsequently measured up to the GNG criteria.

Marcy Borders is an example of a survivor who does have other claims of notability. This can apply even to individuals who were merely relatDebra Burlingame, for instance, was an NN individual, who was merely related to a 9-11 victim, who subsequently measured up to GNG, post-9-11.

I have noticed that some of the very longest serving wikipedia contributors can be quite stubborn about complying with wikipedia conventions that grew up after their habits were set. Many of us expect those who nominate an article for deletion to do a due diligence check, prior to making the nomination. Failing to do so pisses people off, because it wastes their time. This is the WP:BEFORE convention.

Another very long-standing convention is that the individual who nominates the article for deletion should leave a heads-up on the talk page of the person who started the article. The reason why it is very important for nominators to do this is that our deletion decisions are supposed to be consensus based. The person most likely to voice arguments for retention is generally the person who started the article. When you make the decision to not follow the convention, and fail to leave that heads-up, it gives the unfortunate appearance you don't want a real discussion. When someone starts an article, and only learns it was nominated for deletion AFTER it was deleted, they are generally angry, sometimes furious, that they didn't have a chance to voice the arguments for retention. Even if, for the sake of argument, most experienced contributors thought deletion was a foregone conclusion, it is still really important to inform the article creator. If deletion really was a foregone conclusion, and they honestly didn't see why, then participating in the deletion discussion, voicing their reasons as to why the article should be kept, and having other patient people point to whatever wikidocument makes deletion a foregone conclusion is part of their wikipedia education.

Robbing them of that learning moment is (1) not fair to them; (2) bad for the project as a whole, because they still won't know any better, and may continue to repeat the same mistake, over and over.

So, without regard to how many years your habit of not informing the person who started the article is, I urge you, in the strongest possible terms, to leave that heads-up if you ever initiate another AFD.

I listed six factors that contributed to Marcy Borders notability. No offense, but it think if you had complied with WP:BEFORE, and had researched Ms Borders yourself, you would have been aware that there were multiple factors here.

Factor #2, surviving 9-11, only to succumb to cancer at an early age. Many volunteers who were going through the rubble also succumbed to cancer. This happened to hundreds, maybe thousands, of people associated with 9-11, and very few of them will measure up to the GNG criteria.

But, what many deletionists seem to forget, is that wikipedia notability is cumulative. Very few of our biographical articles are about individuals who are really only known for one notable factor. By long standing convention, winning a Victoria Cross, or Congressional Medal of Honor, or your countries equivalent, conveys notability, all by itself. Many deletionist argue for completely discounting lesser medals. That is wrong. A Bronze Star, Navy Cross, or Coast Guard Gold Lifesaving medal should all, also be recognized as conveying some lesser measure of notability. And the same should hold true for that subgroup of 9-11 survivors, who succumbed to cancer at an early age. That conveys some notability.

Borders is a member of a much smaller group -- survivors, who succumbed to cancer at an early age, and had that cancer connection prominently discussed in many newspaper articles after their death.

This brings me to my second request. You seem to have a habit of not feeling any obligation to read the article in question very closely, and not feeling an obligation to do your own web search to make an independent decision as to whether the subject measured up to our notability criteria, before initiating an AFD. If you really have this habit, and you don't think you can break it, then I am going to suggest you consider retiring from nominating any more articles for deletion.

AGF, AGF, AGF. Everyone calls for others to show it. And it seems sometimes that those who call for AGF to be shown don't show very much of it themselves.

The thing is, we all have a limited store of ability to assume good faith. It would be much better for the project if we all did what we could to not call upon our fellow contributors to expend their AGF unnecessarily. When we can avoid behavior very likely to piss other people off, we should avoid it.

Informing other contributors when you nominated an article they started is an example of avoiding a behavior likely to piss someone else off.

Similarly, actually reading an article carefully, with an open mind, and then doing your own independent web search, to reach a well informed opinion as to the topic's notability, before calling for its deletion, is another example of avoiding a behavior likely to piss someone else off.

Sorry about accepting that edit, I think it may not have been constructive but I thought it was removing original research at the time. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 02:49, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Forgive me, I am not well versed in wikipedia edits, but as the guest contributor who performed the 26/10/15 edit, could you guide me through your logic for undoing/resetting the adjustment? I assure you it was intended to be constructive (and fail to see how it might be misconstrued otherwise) and furthermore have expounded on my reasoning in the appropriate talk page. If you could explain to me how the addition of 'initially' is a better contribution to clarity in the first sentence than removing the superfluous section altogether, I would be most appreciative.

Strabane Page

Hi Robert,

I am from Strabane. I would assume you are too? I would like to edit the page as I have valued and up to date information to contribute. The information is not correct, especially regarding Education given that the largest Secondary School in the town is not even mentioned. Also the page while obviously mentioning the past deserves to focus on the positive information and economic advances that are occurring. You are refusing to let others contribute and I would ask you kindly to please stop deleting my additions to the page. It is rude and uncalled for. Everyone has a right to contribute to pages. You do not own it.

I have been finding out about sandbox and will also cite my information. The current information on the page is out of date and will be amended in the coming days when I have sufficient time. The education section is completely wrong and the Cenus information is also out of date. I am posting this to make you aware of my intentions.

Hi, User:Rms125a@hotmail.com! That's not my edit that you linked, but I did see it — and I agreed with that edit and did not revert it. The cited Forbes piece does not support the content saying O'Keefe has no interest in actual investigative journalism (although it does refer to "O’Keefe’s brand of ‘journalism’" in scare quotes). If you want our Wikipedia article to state in Wikipedia's voice that O'Keefe has a "complete lack of interest in actual investigative journalism", you'll need a reliable source which clearly conveys that. So why the "tsk, tsk"? Or was that meant for another editor? Regards, Xenophrenic (talk) 15:28, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

John McTiernan

I noticed your edit. Personally, I'm not so sure about putting that at the beginning of the lead on that article. I do think it is important to discuss his conviction in the lead, but I think his primary notability stems from his work as a film director, and that extra phrase at the beginning is sure to provoke the anger of the other editor who seems to think Wikipedia is terribly biased against Mr. McTiernan (or at least that I am). —BarrelProof (talk) 16:11, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dead links

Hi Rms125a@hotmail.com,

Thank you for thanking me for my yesterday's edit. I invested three hours in that edit by fixing invalid or dead links and activating archive urls. However, you reverted it by mistake, without explanation, and so the invalid links are back. How can we fix it now? Today, I will invest a few hours of work to do again what I did yesterday. I will check all 150 links.

By the way, the external link you deleted yesterday is not dead, it works today (maybe there was a problem connecting to the server). The use of the alphabetic order in the media-interviews-section is not an ideal solution as Bosnia comes first, but the book deals with Croatia and it has been published in Croatia (and a large number of interviews too). Goran Miljan [who?] and Matthew Feeney [who?] shouldn't get a tag since the reference at the end of the quote includes the full bibliographic info.--Darigon Jr. (talk) 14:55, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Re:List of Massacres in Yugoslavia

This is a fair question, so I'll take the points as you've given them. After I closed the original ANI thread you opened, the two of you did show some movement towards talk page consensus and then editing article space, however between my closing the aforementioned thread at 07:32 19 November and the time I locked down the page the two of you had a dozen edits back and forth, one third of which consisted of reverting the other editor. The two of you are each one step away from getting blocked for 24 hours for edit warring, and then whatever position the two of you advocate for dies with the loss of reputation adhered from the block log - simply stated, anything you two do after the block here would be considered disruptive. In addition, locking down the article page forces the two of you work together to find consensus on the talk page or other venue, since you can not edit the article this also acts a barometer to gauge who is likely to be the more problematic editor. Often, but not always, its the person who can't edit who complains the loudest, though that does remain to be seen here.

Insofar as I can see you've been the one whose worked to bridge the gap, and for that you should be commended, however you need to calm down a little. It helps no one if you panic and act before you think. Take a day or two and consider all you options - like for RFC - and how you want to word things, keeping in mind that posts should be civil, and we will see what develops. I am not opposed to lifting page protection early, I did the same exact thing to the article Battle of the Alamo earlier this year and lifted the protection when the parties reached an agreement on what would go in the article, but the community needs to see progress on the unresolved issues, and I need to know that the two of you aren't going to have at each other the minute that page protection vanishes.

Tagging

G'day Rms, I have seen that you have placed a number of {{cn}} tags on World War II in Yugoslavia and others. The former article already has a {{refimprove}} tag at the top. In case you didn't know, it is completely unnecessary to tag every uncited paragraph with a {{cn}} when the whole article has been tagged for reference improvement. We all know it needs some work. Thanks, Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 23:27, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded. I didn't feel the need to add a ref to every single sentence in the Magazine Fort article. I expected >20 inline references to be appropriate for the length of the article. Normally it is OK for a sentence or fragment to be covered by a cite at the end of the paragraph (or slightly before or afterwards if it is clear how it is covered). This is in line with WP:CITEFOOT guidelines. In general as well, perhaps we might avoid placing too many tags on an article. I might in fact consolidate some of the 12 clean-up tags that are now for example on the Fianna Éireann article. Certainly the article has some issues, but large clean-up tags every few lines do not in themselves correct those issues or necessarily improve the article.

Unusual IP user talk deletions...what should I do about it?

Hi! On a lark I decided to look at the "Recent changes" list, and I noticed at least two curious reductions on the same IP talk page, each tagged with "cleaning up ...". The user page I'm talking about is User talk:71.202.1.48. Sensing something unusual, I decided to look at its history. Sure enough, there were many "cleaning up". I did observe something similar once in the past, I looked at the last *addition* edit, which turned out to be made by you, and it was a second warning. It is all too reminiscent of a certain user talk page I mentioned where he/she "hid" the warnings by "deleting" the text, and after I reported it, it soon resulted in him/her account being blocked indefinitely. I will let you make the call on that IP user though. Thanks! --TheBlueWizard (talk) 03:44, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @TheBlueWizard -- thanks for the kind words. I checked the IP 71.202.1.48 and there is no current block, much less indefinite. Also, I am not clear what you mean by "I will let you make the call on that IP user though." Thanks, Quis separabit? 03:48, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, since you apparently know the editing history of User:71.202.1.48 ("second warning" stuff), I thought you would make a better judgment call...like reporting, or just wait until he/she makes a third no-no. I was saying this because in my investigation on another user, I noticed in the history there were repeated "final warnings" which the user conveniently "deleted". You can see this in the history info on User talk:Yo8088. I simply don't have a lot of experience with deciding whether this or that warrants further actions. Hope this helps. --TheBlueWizard (talk) 04:07, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@TheBlueWizard -- Ah, I see. Well the last substantive vandalism edit he made was when I warned him. Everything since then is him/her (pbly him) playing and deleting stuff from his talk page which he/she (pbly he) is entitled to do. So there's nothing to do for now. Thanks for your updates. Yours, Quis separabit? 04:18, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I just realized I should have mentioned that User:Yo8088 continued to vandalize Wikipedia pages even after he was given "final warning", at least twice! Upon cursory viewing of that user talk page, I wouldn't see that warning at all...but I did notice how he/she said the message will be deleted after read, which raised my internal something-is-fishy alarms. So I dug into that history, plus contributions...and you can see how that user got blocked indefinitely. So, my point was to direct the attention to unusual deletions...is he/she "hiding" the warnings? Oh well...anyway, happy editing! --TheBlueWizard (talk) 04:27, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@TheBlueWizard: I get it. But it is fairly established, as far as I know, that editors can blank or delete anything from their talk page(s). That alone won't cut it at WP:ANI to seek a block against the individual. Unfortunately, we have to do it the hard way, monitoring and warning. Those who continue to commit vandalism after being properly warned then should and usually will be blocked, for varying degrees of time depending on the degree and nature of the infraction(s). Yours.

Tudjman

Dear RMS, It is not clear to me why a comment by an modest German parlementarian, mentioning dead popes, is so particularly important. Many people no doubt commented on Tudjman, viewing him as a hero, a criminal, or something in between. Do we quote them all? I can see that a quote by Kissinger is important, but not some German parlementarian. Anyhow, the section is about the deaolings with the international court, and it really does not contribute that.

The speculation of experts as expressed in reliable sources has always been allowed, as long as it's clearly labelled as speculation and not fact. That's why you were wrong to remove the speculation (assuming the book it came from is an RS), but right to remove the category, because it's based not on facts but on speculation.

Zerjavic

I don't understand why you are tagging the description "Collaborators and quislings" used by Zerjavic. The source is on line [3] . Please verify.--Woogie10w (talk) 01:42, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Zerjavic did not elaborate on the the description "Collaborators and quislings". On Wikipedia we must post what our sources are saying. Our opinions do not belong here.--Woogie10w (talk) 02:00, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Woogie10w: Therefore and thus, {{Clarify}} is, in fact, appropriate. Quis separabit? 02:10, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I need to review the calculations of Zerjavic and his critics. Your tag has prompted me to research this topic. We need to present the varios sources from a NPOV. --Woogie10w (talk) 00:40, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Deletion of Content

Give me two days or so and I shall complete the article and have it peer-reviewed for accuracy, grammar and composition. AustinHammond (talk) 18:47, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced claims

Could you provide me with the supposed unsourced claims I have made on the Copper Country Strike of 1913-1914 page? I have a plethora of sources for this topic available that I might use. AustinHammond (talk) 19:35, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Copper Country Strike of 1913-1914

I suppose I have no issues with your edits on the Copper Country Strike of 1913-1914 page. AustinHammond (talk) 14:32, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
