Template-protected edit request on 2 April 2017

[edit]

The long country chart only uses UNODC numbers. Anything else will be reverted. Please see the UNODC reference for the Global Study on Homicide. In the reference notes go to the UNODC Statistics Online link to find the very latest UNODC homicide rates. Timeshifter (talk) 22:02, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit template-protected}} template. Could also say " Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format.". Is there a consensus anywhere to only use that source? And what text is supposed to go into the editnotice?

There is consensus. See the edit history of the article to see the many reversions of people adding non-UNODC numbers. The text is everything in my original post. --Timeshifter (talk) 21:56, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Note: I have advertised this discussion on Talk:List of countries by intentional homicide rate — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:53, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not involved with this article at all, but as a Template Editor I'm inclined to believe that there is consensus for some sort of editnotice to this effect. The article has included the phrase "Note. Only data from the UNODC source is used for this main table. Please do not add data from other sources." since at least November 2015, and it was included as a hidden comment in the article long before that (I'm not sure exactly how long, since WikiBlame doesn't seem to search commented out text). The fact that it has lasted in the article for that long seems to indicate that there is at least implicit consensus for it. However, I use the text and reference from the article:

Thanks for the banner. I added it to the article. Can you point me to a regular article with an edit notice in it? I want to see how it looks in both the source editor and the visual editor. --Timeshifter (talk) 18:51, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the article example. I am thinking of using a banner for the edit notice. Here is one similar to the one in the article (minus the reference). See: List of countries by intentional homicide rate#By country

Updated to use the correct format. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:38, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Wouldn't the edit notice banner get much more attention in the source editor if there were a colored background? The goal is to get the attention of the editor. --Timeshifter (talk) 22:26, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hello? Has this been forgotten? --Timeshifter (talk) 02:24, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If the "only use UNODC data" notice has been in the article uncontested for two years, I'd say that may justify putting it in the edit notice. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 16:06, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article has been in the current format since around 2012. With "UNODC" in the titles of the charts. See this 2012 revision. And there has been a note in the article about using only UNODC data since at least April 2015. See this April 2015 revision. I added a background color, and bold text, to the banner:
I used the background color found in an example banner in the documentation notes at Template:Editnotice. --Timeshifter (talk) 10:55, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I think it will get the attention of editors. --Timeshifter (talk) 01:43, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
