Don merge discussion

Regarding the recent edits to Tropical Storm Don (2011), here is the discussion about the merger, which was this summer, for what it's worth. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:21, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Ah yes, thanks for flagging that. My b AntiDionysius (talk) 21:35, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Bratonožići article

I believe you made a mistake in your article on stating that tribe of Bratonožići is of Albanian origin. The fact that Bratonožići was a tribe is a vague concept since there is no reliable information to confirm that, even if that assumption is true the vast majority of people and surnames originating from Bratonožići are either of Serbian or Montenegrin origins. The region of Bratonožići was a home of many enthnic entities and stating that this tribe is Albanian origin indicates that that was the only related ethnic group to it, this is unverified to say the least. If you have to say that this is a tribe of Albanian origin at least add lack of varification for it. 155.93.171.91 (talk) 22:07, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

It doesn't lack verification - it's cited in the article. AntiDionysius (talk) 22:11, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

And the surnames being of Serbian and Montenegrin origins is also explained in the article, with a citation: "were of Albanian origin and gradually became Slavic-speakers". Did you read the article? AntiDionysius (talk) 22:17, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

This is a verified information for you? 155.93.171.91 (talk) 22:18, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Yes. Because of the citations. More sources would of course always be good but the ones it has are solid, and changing "Albanian origin" to "Serbian origin" would not only be unsourced but actively contradicting several sources.

If you feel very strongly about this I suggest you start a discussion at Talk:Bratonožići, but be prepared to bring sources. AntiDionysius (talk) 22:22, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

The concern here is that the origin is a quote referenced from a book (Poeta nascitur, historicus fit) This book also references it from another book (Revue des Études Islamiques). Should origin not point directly to the source of the statement 155.93.171.91 (talk) 07:42, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

No, in fact Wikipedia generally prefers secondary sources over primary ones. AntiDionysius (talk) 12:01, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Really where is the origin cited? 155.93.171.91 (talk) 22:17, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

...in the article, in the "origins" section. AntiDionysius (talk) 22:19, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Stop vandalising the article.

If you're here just for your own personal agendas or reasons, then this platform is not for you. You are repeatedly vandalizing articles, even the ones with sources added. You're not fit for this platform, and you should be blocked forever 49.43.43.99 (talk) 12:10, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

@49.43.43.99 as I just explained on your talk page, you already have been blocked, on your original IP address and every one you have used since then. I have been reverting your edits since your original block in line with Wikipedia's policy on block evasion. AntiDionysius (talk) 12:13, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Who are you to revert my edits? You're not even an admin. I'm not blocked and please don't the change the topic. Why are you constantly vandalising the article just for personal reasons? 49.43.43.99 (talk) 12:15, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

You were blocked. See Special:Contributions/2402:8100:2738:B09C:C9F8:F37E:C98F:3CC1 for a record of your block. Every other IP you have used to edit since then has also been blocked - this is because continuing to edit when you are blocked is block evasion. AntiDionysius (talk) 12:17, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

How can I use different IPs? What are you talking about? I'm not a hacker. Instead of blaming others just look at your actions first. 49.43.43.99 (talk) 12:23, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

I didn't say you were using multiple IPs deliberately or for malicious reasons; it can happen without a user realising it. A glance at the histories of any of the pages in question will show your edits attributed to at least four different IPs. The problem here isn't that you're using different IPs, it's that you were blocked and you are continuing to try to edit.

I have looked at my actions. My actions are the enforcement of the WP:BE policy, which states Anyone is free to revert any edits made in violation of a ban or block, without giving any further reason and without regard to the three-revert rule. So I feel pretty good about those actions, thanks. AntiDionysius (talk) 12:26, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

I don't know what are you talking about. I didn't violate any policy. I think you're just doing this for your own personal agendas. Please tell why are you here? Do you work for someone or you have been paid to do editing? 49.43.43.99 (talk) 12:49, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

WP:DENY

Just deny recognition. Myrealnamm's Alternate Account (talk) 12:41, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, you're probably right. AntiDionysius (talk) 12:42, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

I thought initially some discussion may have been productive as I suspected there was a chance (and if they are to be believed, I was correct) that they simply did not know they were block evading, but clearly shining a light on that did not do anything and further discussion was stupid of me. AntiDionysius (talk) 12:43, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

I have done the same before when I started fighting vandalism, regarding an IP violating BLP. It happens. Myrealnamm's Alternate Account (talk) 12:48, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

It does, and sometimes you need an external poke to prompt you to stop it. Thank you! AntiDionysius (talk) 12:50, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Removed Youngest summit

Hi, I know my article wasn’t the best quality however, I have my source and I am happy to send it over to you, please edit it if I have made any mistake and it would be amazing if you could let me know what mistake I made so I can work on and improve on it next time, thanks!! John makofe (talk) 19:38, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

You don't need to send anything to me; you just need to include sources for any added content in the article when writing it. AntiDionysius (talk) 19:39, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

How am I able to do this? John makofe (talk) 19:53, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

This link explains it. AntiDionysius (talk) 20:08, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

you reverted changes to page of Anuj Dhar without any explaination

Hello, could you mention reason for the revert? 171.76.84.178 (talk) 11:37, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

I explained it on your talk page. AntiDionysius (talk) 11:57, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

re: Welcome

Thank you for fixing my userpage. I'm a little rusty, and maybe still not fully awake today. SunnyTango (talk) 15:20, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

No problem! Maybe it's time for coffee. AntiDionysius (talk) 15:21, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

=thank you so so much for the info... I saw that the edit was deleted ...in a really Quick time.. maybe someone who is able to unlock the key and then make the edit on the main page

GregLindquist article

Hi You said you removed inappropriate external links, can you please explain? It appears you deleted the entire section as well, which I assume is an error. Ratt675 (talk) 22:31, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia policy is to basically never put external links into the body of an article.

I deleted the whole section because it was completely unreferenced and written like an advertisement. AntiDionysius (talk) 22:33, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for letting me know about EL, but this section is key-- It is describing the artists' bodies of works, which is essentially their contribution to art. How can it be not "written like an advertisement"? Ratt675 (talk) 22:39, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

A few things for avoiding promotional writing:

1. Articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that come from reliable sources, and those sources should be referenced.
2. Anything that's not a fact but an opinion, evaluation or determination should be attributed; e.g. "The Dan River coal ash spill in 2014 has been the conceptual, visual, thematic, and political driver of his Smoke and Water project." should instead be "Lindquist has described the Dan River coal ash spill as the...driver". Though excessive inclusion of the person's description of their own work should be avoided anyway - independent critics are much preferred.
3. What Wikipedia calls "peacock words" should be avoided.

Sarah Nutall

how was it not neutral when I quoted several sources? LuffyDe (talk) 22:50, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

The use of language: "aggressive campaign", "threatened" etc. Also you can't just say something was "deemed antisemitic"; you need to say who described it that way. AntiDionysius (talk) 22:55, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Lasseter Family Winery

Hi there, and thanks for deleting what doesn't belong on wikipedia, as I take my first stab at Wikipedia edits and try to correct the Lasseter entry.

Four basic goals thus far:

1. Remove railroad map, which is part of a private residence.
2. Remove outdated case production number in the opening paragraph, as footnoted in footnote 1, from an article 13 years ago. Since we don't publish our case production anywhere, there is no replacement number, though it's ~4,000 pending each vintage's yields. Can this entire sentence just be removed?: "The winery, once inhabited by the Grand Cru Winery, produces approximately 1,200 cases of French red wine blends annually, with the capacity to produce up to 6,000."
3. Just requested today to replace the homepage quoted in footnote 2 at the bottom of the page, since we updated that verbiage on our home page, with our website redesign launch on 9/6/23. I want to replace it with verbiage from the new home page (or take it out completely). "We produce Bordeaux and Rhône inspired white, rosé, and red wines, as well as century-old Zinfandel in a field blend with rare heritage varieties."
4. I want to remove the outdated info from that article, which appears in the opening paragraph: "The winery grows Bordeaux and Rhône varietals on 27 acres. One of the Lasseters' winemaking mentors was Jess Jackson, of Kendall-Jackson."
5. Thanks for any help you can provide! I appreciate it.
