Citation templates

As we all work towards improving the Corona del Mar High School article, I thought you might find Wikipedia:Citation templates helpful as you add references. Regards, 72Dino (talk) 05:11, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. DaltonHird (talk) 05:12, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi DaltonHird, I just wanted to let you know that I'm not sure if the visuality.org website meets reliable source requirements, so I am going to post it at the noticeboard to get some feedback. Feel free to weigh in there if you would like. Thanks, 72Dino (talk) 23:46, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Corona del Mar High School

Wikipedia's NPOV policy provides that, "Editing from a neutral point of view (NPOV) means representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without bias, all of the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic."

Your purported edits to this article do not represent "fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without bias, all of the significant views that have been published by reliable sources" about Corona del Mar High School. To the contrary, they selectively include only highly negative and critical articles and opinions about the school.

Therefore, your edits violate Wikipedia's NPOV policy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.194.125.162 (talk) 03:05, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

72.194, see WP:NOTCENSORED. You are violating NPOV by removing a well sourced significant views.

Dalton: I've added the article to my watchlist. Also, in the future, you can use the warning templates at Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace to leave prewritten messages (read through them a few times to get yourself familiarized). I usually start save the first level templates for what are clear mistakes, and start with the second level template for individuals who are clearly trying to cause trouble.

Also, you need to avoid reverting in an article more than 3 times in a 24 hour period, except when reverting edits that are undeniable vandalism -- see WP:EW.

Censorship doesn't necessarily qualify as vandalism. If you can imagine that the other person might possibly be trying to help in some way (even if that means removing information that must be "wrong" because they don't like it), it probably doesn't qualify as vandalism -- see WP:NOTVAND.

If a vandal has been adequately warned (i.e., they continued vandalism after receiving a level 2, 3, and 4 warning), you can report them at WP:AIV (but that board is only for clear spammers and vandals). Otherwise, take it up at WP:ANI.

If there were multiple IPs, I would recommend filing a request for the high school article to be protected at WP:RFPP, but since it's only one, they'd probably refuse the request. Ian.thomson (talk) 03:21, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Ian: Thanks for these links and the information. --Dalton D. Hird 03:50, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

I would like this dispute to be arbitrated. NPOV does not mean anything sourced may be included in an article. Edits must be cited "fairly, proportionately, and as far as possible, without bias". The reverted edits do not meet that standard by any measure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.194.125.162 (talk) 03:33, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Guess what: I'm a previously uninvolved editor with several years of experience, with no bias regarding the school. That you're arguing with me shows that you don't want arbitration, you want to be told you're right when you're not.

NPOV does mean including that pretty much anything sourced gets in the article. It does not mean giving equal weight to all views, but what weight the sources give each bit of information. Multiple news sources discuss some of the bad stuff in this schoo, and you are violating WP:NOTCENSORED by removing it. Ian.thomson (talk) 03:43, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

You are mistaken. Please read the NPOV policy and respond on the merits to my concerns DaltonHird's defamatory sentence represents fair, proportionate and unbiased coverage of this distinguished school. And, by the way, "Don't-give-a-fuckism" is not cool. It's idiotic.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.194.125.162 (talk • contribs)

Education Program

When you're ready, see Wikipedia:Education program/Educators for instructions. You'll need to take the online training, create a course page, and request instructor rights. Assuming I'm available, I can support your class. Leave a message on my talk page when you apply for instructor rights. Chris Troutman (talk) 03:16, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Ronni Sanlo

Thanks for message. A close paraphrase by moving words around a bit is still a copyright violation. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

You also did not adequately provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, or they will be deleted. Her own website is not independent, and Wikipedia is not a reliable source (incidentally, Wikipedia articles, like Anita Bryant should be wikilinked in the text, not formatted as references. Refs are more readable formatted as <ref>[url description]</ref>

She is probably notable, but you need to use your own words and find better references, like the first one. You also need to clarify she married two years later. Ronni gave birth to two children. I assume from the context that this was a heterosexual marriage with children from the marriage, but it could be a same-sex marriage with children from adoption or sperm donation. That occurs in the UK, but I know nothing about the law of Florida. I'll post a version of the text here soon for you to improve Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:30, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

You are at liberty to take any action within our rules that you consider appropriate, although you might want to consider Draft:Ronni Sanlo as a less exposed location than the article page at this stage. It is a common misconception that having good intentions excuses editors from our rules, and charities and religious organisations in particular often run into problems for that reason. Although the bias you mention exists, copyright violation is a legal issue, and your intentions do not change that. I am always prepared to engage with editors, but with copyright issues there is usually nothing to discuss. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:41, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

LA edit-a-thons on February 14, 17, and 21

Redondo Loves Wikipedia (2/14), Wik-Ed Women (2/17), and Unforgetting LA at the Getty (2/21)!

Dear fellow Wikipedian, The LA Wikipedia community has three events in mid-February -- please consider attending! First, we have a Valentine's Day edit-a-thon appropriately named Redondo Loves Wikipedia, which will take place at the Redondo Beach Public Library from 10am to 1pm on Saturday, February 14. Join library staff, the Redondo Beach Historical Society, and others to help improve Wikipedia's coverage of Redondo Beach! Second, we have a Wik-Ed Women editing session on Tuesday, February 17 from 6pm to 10pm at the Los Angeles Contemporary Archive downtown. This series of informal get-togethers is designed to encourage Los Angeles women-in-the-arts (though all are welcome!) to contribute their expertise to Wikipedia, specifically expanding content about women artists. Third, we have an Unforgetting LA event put on by East of Borneo in collaboration with the Getty Research Institute. Come help improve Wikipedia's coverage of LA design and architecture, and have an awesome free day at the museum -- parking will be validated for edit-a-thon participants!

Invitation

Have you heard of the Kaffeeklatsch? It is a test area for women to hear and support each other. The idea came about as a result of a discussion at meta regarding my IdeaLab proposal (yet open) for WikiProject Women.

Now that the klatsch has survived an MfD and WMF legal has said that it does not violate the non discrimination policy,[1] I am looking for women editors who might like to join.

Although I have started a couple of discussions, they are not urgent. For now, the "Please introduce yourself" discussion is more important! I want to take it slow at first and build a small group before trying to address heavy topics or come up with big goals. For now, the klatsch is there as a sort of refuge. I hope you will consider joining, and invite other women editors, too, if you wish. Lightbreather (talk) 21:43, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks so much for the invite! Very, very cool project!! --Dalton D. Hird 23:35, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

LA edit-a-thons on March 18 (tomorrow!) and 28

Wadewitz memorial edit-a-thon (3/18), Redondo Loves Wikipedia (3/28)

Dear fellow Wikipedian, The LA Wikipedia community has two events in this second half of March -- please consider attending! First, there is a memorial edit-a-thon in honor of the prolific LA Wikipedian Adrianne Wadewitz, which is being held downtown on March 18 (tomorrow!) from noon to 8pm as a part of the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies' annual conference. Please drop by to contribute your own work or teach other users how to write for Wikipedia. Second, there will be an event at the Redondo Beach Public Library (following up on last month's session), in collaboration with the Redondo Beach Historical Society. Please join us from 10am to noon on Saturday, March 28 at the main branch of the Redondo Beach Public Library! I hope to see you there!

Corona Del Mar High School

It really sounds from your statement on the talk page that you have a personal interest or biased in this schools "encyclopedia" history. While the school has a long history, to encapsulate the bad behavior that the media picked up on in the last 5 years is not worthy of detailed and multi sourced citations that only clutter up the page with the same information. There is no need whatsoever to cite the same thing as 6 news stations reported on it, one or two will do fine. I am really really really concerned about your objective here. You clearly are dead set on the Wikipedia page being subjective to your point of view. What is your connection to the school, and if you have a conflict of interest please disclose it, on the projects talk page. I am going to remove the disparaging comments for now until we have a better consensus, if needed I will reach out to administrators via a RFC for further comments. Have a great day! talk→ WPPilot  03:48, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

My interest is in correcting the well-documented systemic bias in some Wikipedia articles - particularly as this pertains to women and the LGBT community. I am also interested in projects related to education. Please read the Corona del Mar High article's history, pay paying particular attention to the sourcing. My comments are not "disparaging" or "non-disparaging"; what we are going for here is a well-sourced article. Period. The information here is extremely well-sourced accordion to WP policy. The clear significance of the ACLU suit in the fields of law and education reform are important and the article is quite incomplete without them. In kind regard. 104.174.51.120 (talk) 04:06, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

It has no business in the header of the story. The schools problems do not quality for anything other then mention in the body of the text. Other schools all over the country have been involved in lawsuits and that does not belong in the lead section of the schools encyclopedia page. The clear significance of the ACLU suit in the fields of law and education reform would under your rational be required in the header of every school that has ever been sued. This school was founded in 1970, and the history only starts in the last 5 years? I am sorry but I know better. I am not opposed to the addition of quality information but in 20 years will this be the lead issue that this site should talk about when it is covered in the page itself? No. If you feel I am wrong I suggest that you do a request for comments and obtain the insight of other seasoned editors like myself. Please disclose your relationship to this subject on the subject talk page. Thank you! talk→ WPPilot  04:19, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

This explains convention for an article's lead:"The lead should be able to stand alone as a concise overview. It should define the topic, establish context, explain why the topic is notable, and summarize the most important points, including any prominent controversies." https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Lead_section Dalton D. Hird 04:31, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

An overview would in fact cover the last fifty years in brief. Covering the issues that you see as tantamount in the history of the last 5 years does not provide a brief of the last 50, in fact it highlights the last 5, only representing 10% of the total schools life. It is going to remain as it is, if you continue to push your point of view and I will simply request other editors chime in. I am not going to argue with you. Shall I request that the editors and admins offer there perspective on this matter by the creation of a "RFC" or request for comments? talk→ WPPilot  04:42, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Please do. In kind regard," Dalton D. Hird talk " 04:44, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Done deal, I look forward to seeing what the others contribute. I still do not see it as schools like USC and UCLA have been sued by the ACLU and do nither of them have it mentioned in the header info. Lets give it say a week for replies and see what others have to say. I will always go with the consensus and am sure that you will as well. Cheers! talk→ WPPilot  04:59, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Columbine High School has been heavily reviewed and edited as a notable high school. Please take a look at the header on that page. You see no reference to the tragedy that took place, to the contrary, it has a link to a section that stands alone under a brief overview, in the body. I am inclined to follow that as a format. talk→ WPPilot  15:00, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Would you please also include your talk page link in your signature, it makes it a lot easier to communicate. Thank you. talk→ WPPilot  15:00, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Ellie M. Cohen

Hello! I saw your note at User talk:DGG, about the fact that a page about Ellie M. Cohen had been deleted as "advertising". There are several other reasons it could have been deleted. You and your students need to understand, it isn't enough to just write an article about someone, even if the person seems like they should qualify for an article here (see WP:GNG and WP:BIO). The article has to meet Wikipedia's standards, such as WP:Neutrality and WP:Verifiability, and it has to be encyclopedic in format and tone. The students should be sure to read WP:Your first article, and to look at other article here about similar people, so they can see how to design an article. They should initially create the article as a draft, such as Draft:Ellie M. Cohen or User:Theirusername/Ellie M. Cohen, and submit it through the usual article submission process where they will get advice about how to format it, what kinds of references to use, how to avoid hype and keep it neutral, etc. It may take them several submissions before it gets accepted. Good luck and thanks for wanting teach your students to contribute to Wikipedia. There is help available here for teachers making Wikipedia course assignments; see Wikipedia:School and university projects. --MelanieN (talk) 20:51, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

And I'll help also. I have always wanted to fix whatever is fixable, even though actually doing this is limited by the amount of time available to me. I think I've learned to tell what is better started over, and I've also learned to tell what might not even be worth the effort, because there might not be enough underlying notability. These can be difficult decisions to make, which is why I try to work with people writing articles at an early stage before they have put in too much effort into what might not succeed. But as I said on my talk p., the way to deal with cultural prejudice is not to lower the standards, but to fill in the missing articles from the top--from the ones that will easily stand up to challenge or, better, will not even be challenged.

As you will find, I have done some editing for some articles that were carelessly done enough to give a bad impression, but do have the necessary fundamental strength and required relatively quick improvements. If you'd like me to look at any drafts, just ask me. DGG ( talk ) 22:37, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

About Women

Hi DaltonHird. I'm an editor (not very active till now) of the Italian Wikipedia, where the gender gap is a real issue. I'm trying to participate to an IEG with the project "Women are everywhere". You will find the draft at this link https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Women_are_everywhere It would be great if you could have a look at it. I need any kind of suggestion or advice to improve it. Support or endorsement would be fantastic. Many thanks, --Kenzia (talk) 10:41, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Women in the Black Panther Party article

Greetings Dr. Ketchum. I've been reading an article that I think was written by one of your students, Women in the Black Panther Party. It is very short and to be honest the content probably would be better placed as a topic section on the main Black Panther Party article where people are far more likely to read it. I know someone has proposed copying the content over (really only a single sentence) and deleting your student's article.

I'd be grateful to hear what you think about this. One of Wikipedia's policies is - basically - to encourage the construction of large articles that cover all perspectives on a topic rather than splitting off topics into lots of tiny articles that are hard to navigate. My personal suggestion is that the section on women in the Black Panther Party article already looks quite interesting, and I would advise your student to improve this text rather than create a duplicate. (I think that often editors on courses like the one you run feel quite apprehensive about expanding pre-existing articles and feel like they would be more comfortable creating their own, but as I said a Wikipedia policy is to discourage duplicate articles and encourage improvements to what already exists to avoid duplication of effort.) Blythwood (talk) 15:55, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

• Also, I've sent over some suggestions for improving the article Eunice Katherine M. Ernst to your student "KFunk". Ms. Ernst seems very clearly notable so what it needs is really just a few more citations and a bit of editing. Just letting you know in case they don't get round to logging in and seeing it. Blythwood (talk) 05:04, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Sources for medical content

We require high quality sources for medical content. Typically this is review articles from reliable sources. Or statements from major national or international health organizations (think World Health Organization or National Institutes of Health).

The Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met will be hosted at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Saturday November 16, 2019 in the Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education (81st Street entrance) at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City. The museum is excited to work with Wikipedia Asian Month for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of Asia. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely. Asia Art Archive will host a sister event in Hong Kong next week. Saturday November 16 Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met (RSVP on-wiki or at meetup.com). 12:30 pm - 4:30 pm in Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Uris Center for Education 81st Street entrance, Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Avenue And there will be sandwiches and Wiki-Cake! Thanks, and hope to see you there! --Wikimedia New York City Team 16:45, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

LA to FA 2022

Dear DaltonHird, You're invited to a zoom call, taking place on February 11, with the goal of improving the article on Los Angeles to Featured article status! I often find it daunting to approach the Big Subjects on my own—so if you, like me, want a time to sit down with fellow dedicated editors and tackle something important and complex, this is the zoom for you! I, unfortunately, have no way to transmit snacks over zoom; but I trust you to exercise good judgement and discretion in selecting snacks of your own. Hope to see you there—if you're interested, add your name here! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 00:19, 10 January 2022 (UTC) To opt out of future mailings about LA meetups, please remove your name from this list.
