User talk:Dirkbb

Welcome, Dirkbb!

I'm Riana, and I noticed that you've been here a while, but no-one's welcomed you yet, so I thought I'd drop you a note. We do have a lot of users, and are currently working on 6,914,718 articles, so things can be a little intimidating... but don't worry! We love to help out, and we'll try our best to make your stay here as comfortable as possible.
Here are a few links I found useful when I first arrived here:-

• Be Bold!
• Don't let grumpy users scare you off
• Meet other new users
• Policies, guidelines, and rules
• How to create a page, edit a page and write a great article
• A handy tutorial, and a picture tutorial

• Writing well
• Learn from others
• Play nicely with others
• Contribute, Contribute, Contribute!
• Tell us about yourself
• Be inspired by our finest!

You should sign your name on talk pages, discussions and votes by typing ~~~~; our software automatically converts it to your username and the date. Also, if you don't want to jump right into editing articles right now, why not check out the sandbox? Feel free to make test edits there.

I know it's a lot of information, but there are two more things I recommend you take note of while editing Wikipedia - cite references wherever possible, and avoid allowing personal biases interfere with your editing.

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian - I definitely do. Although we all make mistakes, please keep in mind what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or problems, leave me a message on my talk page, and I'll try my best to help. Otherwise, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

We hope you stick around, and make sure you enjoy yourself! Cheers, – Riana ^ऋ 15:31, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Celsius

Hello, I live in England, and am perfectly familiar with the FACT that the Fahrenheit scale is used regularly in this country. The Met Office publishes weather reports in both C and F. The Fahrenheit article likewise is 100% WRONG on this point.

Proposed deletion of Stock, Hausen and Walkman

Stock, Hausen and Walkman has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this musician or group might not yet be notable enough for an article. Please review Wikipedia:Notability (music) for the relevant guidelines. If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod notice, the deletion process will stop, but if an editor is still not satisfied that it meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion for consensus.

Juche, a concept created by Hwang Jang-yop

I tried to be neutral. there is no evidence that Hwang Jang-yop created Juche. All you got is him(defector and traitor) claiming that he created the Juche idea. I think the reference to Hwang Jang-yop as the creator of the Juche idea goes too far and should be deleted. Even in the Juche article nothing is mentioned about this guy Hwang Jang-yop. It also states that Juche was created by Kim Il-sung not Hwang Jang-yop. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JucheCapitalist (talk • contribs) 18:12, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

Odd editing behaviour at Babesia article

Hi. I note that you have made some substantive contributions to the Babesia article. This page has been heavily edited by a temporary account (‘Nmunabi’) who apparently has knowledge of the subject. (I am not an expert in this area.) Yet he/she destroyed all the wikilinks and all the inline references. I don’t understand why. I reconstructed the references before realizing quite what had happened. So my question to you is, were this guy’s edits useful, or vandalism? What was he up to?

Appreciate your insight at the article talk page. Earthlyreason (talk) 17:33, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

liquid smoke edit reversal

The problem with the description is it is inaccurate because of an error in the Fenaroli reference. So rather than finding a reference that is correct which isn't that easy, should this be flagged as disputed? People who work with wood tar know it is alcohol soluble not alcohol insoluble. There is an FAO document I believe the Fenaroli author relied upon that doesn't state tar solubility on way or the other, but I could see someone drawing that conclusion if they are not careful:

Unregister user

Hi Dirkbb, thank you for your attention to unregister user with the IP address 114.124.168.12. I also found this IP 114.124.145.23 and 114.124.179.150, that made the same editting style in some badminton related articles. Maybe, this user was not made a mistake on his editting, but it is hard to communicate to this user to let he/she know that we need to communicate to achieve the consensus since he/she doesn't register. I hope you can help. Thank you. Stvbastian (talk) 22:13, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

@User:Stvbastian, We have allowed unregistered editors here since the founding of the encyclopedia by Jimmy and Larry. What matters are the quality of the edits. If edits are presented from valid sources, and otherwise follow WP policies and guidelines, they are allowed by our rules. In my decades of experience, editing from both camps--while it is true that vandalism is the more likely to occur from an IP editor, it's more even odds that rule-violating edits (e.g., including WP:VER and WP:OR-violating) come as often from registered editors. Any momentary thoughtful look can tell vandalism from attempts at constructive editing. IP addresses are, per policy, as accepted, and should no more be viewed as being of suspicious quality than registered. Re: communicating, I would note that you posted to a User that generally does not reply, and that your comment has received one more response from IP editors than from registeresd!

In my submission, a silly retraction of my deletion of biased text in Georgette Mosbacher's "controversies" section, by User Dirkbb

The following source (https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User_talk:93.89.204.71) points to the above-mentioned User Dirkbb's retraction of my partial deletion of a "controversies" section of (https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Georgette_Mosbacher#Controversies). Given how I, who made the deletion of some of the text do not spend much of my time editing the text of articles on Wikipedia, I'm not familiar with ways to reply to an anonymous individual, therefore, right here this is my reply. I shall preface this by remarking that I do not deem it fit to spend the entirety of time of my life, editing through the passages of various Wikipedia sources, chiselling away at the nitty-gritty butt-crack of obscure expertise, like some kind of a blood-thirsty dust-covered hermit out on some kind of a crusading hunt pursuing some sort of a misguided "flame-war" to establish himself as the top dog of Wikipedia editorial board, as I hypothesize that User Dirkbb (to borrow a word from him) "appears" to cocern himself with and "appears" to be doing in preoccupation of his own efforts. Contemplate the horror that I experienced, when I read that my only Wikipedia contribution was retracted because it "felt" unconstructive to one person that thinks he knows more about the affairs of my country of Poland than I do. It may appear that my deletion of biased wording of issues that should never have been allowed in the first place, likely posted by some pro Law and Justice party militant, may have "felt" unconstructive because it WAS unconstructive, in the sense it was deconstructive as it deleted something that was clearly false and bullshit, what's wrong with that? I deleted the rest of what I was going to write and will leave the above cited pages intact, though the presentation of the issues is fairly advanced in the sly and slanted manner of exposition of substance, in a way that imparts to me a conviction whereby I condemn it as deficient. Enjoy false information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.89.204.71 (talk) 22:22, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

Sagittarius A* tension with general relativity

Hi Dirkbb, I have recently modified the article on Sagittarius A* because there was a sentence which claimed some observations were in tension with general relativity. This sentence was totally false to our current knowledge, came with no claims or references, and totally contradicted the reference (a scientific article) given right before it. Thus, I deleted this sentence. After I did so, you edited the page to revert my changes and claimed that I did not included proper references for such a change. As you can see, I did the opposite! I removed a biased an apparently personal claim that came with no references. This case is particularly striking since such sentence doesn't come without harm, as it is stating key claims on our knowledge of the physics laws without any backgrounds. If you want to re-add this sentence and put it back in the article, I would please suggest that you provide a reliable source and you include the adequate citation for it. Thank you very much.

There it is no article on Italian Tripoli

Regarding the deletion of Best-selling section in the Visual Novel page

Hello Dirkbb,

I have explained why I have deleted the section. First of all, I want to say that I have experience in both Japanese and English for over 10 years with Visual Novel. And I have written an article about the subject as well. Previously I put pastebin link in the reason section because wikipedia didn't accomdate for such long text in the change reason section.

As I have stated on why I delete the section, the reason are:

1. It include many game that should not be fall into Visual Novel Category, some even far too off. This include Professor Layton, Another Code, Blazblue, Lost Odyssey, or Thousand Arms which is included as Visual Novels in that section.

An important basis to be considered is that a game with adventure tag doesn't necessarily being a visual novel, as the contemporary term of adventure game in japanese sense and western sense has a differ meaning. The english word of visual novel are now synonmous to the words ノベルゲーム or 美少女ゲーム in Japan, which is largely used as a new word for adv game in japanese sense to avoid confussion with western media. Therefore despite the industry still label it as adventure, it refer differently to adventure that is known in the west such as Detroit Become Human or Telltale's The Walking Dead.

2. The section provide distorted information toward visual novel world. Previously there has been some misleading article published by gaijinmedia that arouse a sharp criticism from the community. And with a lot of non-visual novel games are being included in the section, it will cause distortion even more. Furthermore, some game that listed in the section are a pseudo-dating sims, which first they are not a visual novel, second they are seen as not representing a quality of visual novel by the community. If such section were keep, it will only make the page as a source of unreliable information for visual novel.

Until some list are fixed by the contributor that added it, it's best to just remove it entirely as the date order would be in disorder if only some item were deleted. Otherwise, It's best if you want to make a best-selling section to also include both japanese market and western market as a better representation of the quality and popularity within the actual community itself. I think, it's more wise if the section were about best-rating instead of best-selling, as it guarantee quality rather than mere selling number.

I hope you understand and took some action as soon as possible. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.215.244.172 (talk) 18:21, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Labour Leaderaship Election

Hi Dirkbb,

If you read the wiki page for this entry, you'll see that the IT privider for the online election process was conducted by Civica Plc, a wholly-owned subsidery of Camillion Plc (an even larger corporation, originally incorporated in 1945 and headed-up by the Bank of England, no less). There is a self-evident conflict of interest in these institutions being used to provide independant data integrity in any matter pertaining to British Labour representation. Additionally, Civica offer no mechanisms whatsoever for labour voters to verify the integrity of their candidate preference or, for that matter, to even verify that their actual vote was added to the results tally... To this end, I have today made a formal complaint to the labour party about the matter. I am currently looking at other avenues to bring this matter further into the public domain.

It is an absolute fact that the labour election results are entirely unverifiable currently. So how on earth can I (or indeed anyone) provide a 'citation', when there are currently NO links to media articles on this manifestly exploitable confict-of-interest?

Accordingly, i write to ask that the 'unverifiable' insert i had added to the wiki page be reinstated.

Many Thanks, Paul — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.237.8.145 (talk) 19:57, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

You seem to make a habit of reverting edits to whatever pages you feel like and leaving comments on the editor's talk pages asserting that they were unconstructive without justification, even when this categorization is at best a judgment call.

Cambrai East Military Cemetery moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Cambrai East Military Cemetery, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Question

Hi, I wanted to ask why you reverted this edit (there's no edit summary). Thanks - wolf 02:03, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

In response to your question re this edit: [2], it's simply a matter of a contradiction in the cited reference which stated San Diego as the ship's home port. I'm sure you would agree that for an article to be credible, facts must be correctly referenced. Having found a citation for the change of home port, I have amended the article. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Dirkbb (talk)

Yes, I suspected as much, but wasn't sure as you didn't leave an edit summary. The person you reverted will certainly have no idea, and will either continue to make errors, which we will need to fix, or simply not return. Neither is a good outcome. Additionally, you marked the edit as "minor", which it turns out it wasn't. The point being, if you could leave an edit summary, not only does it help new users just making mistakes, but it also helps experienced users, watching the article, that don't know what occurred, and then have to take the time and effort to find out. Even that user left a summary, and a simple "source?" on your part would've been helpful. If you could leave an edit summary with your edits going forward, a great many of us here would appreciate it. Thanks

On a side note, I moved your reply from my talk page to here. Like many of us, (and as I requested at top of my tp), I like to keep discussions on a single page. If you reply again, please reply here Thank you - wolf 23:02, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.

Hello, Dirkbb. How does one handle such a situation, then? The sentence that I edited mentioned the word 'others' in conjunction with Dasch, however; previous to that exact point in the article, there was *no* mention made of any other people in the spy operation involved with Dasch. It appears the editor(s) who started the paragraph in question with "Dasch and the others ..." simply carelessly copied and pasted information from the main article about the spy operation Operation Pastorius without proofreading their work. Where is the WP prohibition against sloppy editing such as this, or, doesn't that matter? So I repeat, "What others; who??? Parts of this story appear missing."

Seeking clarification on two recent deletions

Hi, I am a bit puzzled why you are concerned about a couple of my links? The Miniatures and Miniatura ones? I am new to Wikipedia and need to clarify why you have concerns about these? I have no commercial connection to Miniatura and I added them as a good example of shows for miniaturists. Likewise with Miniature Magazines, that seemed a sensible addition to that page. Again, I have no commercial link to the example I used. Any constructive input appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MiniatureTimeTraveller (talk • contribs) 22:27, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

I think your first edit got removed because it:

• Included an entry for topics that are not ambiguous (according to the linked article) with the title (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Disambiguation pages § Examples of individual entries that should not be created)
• Included a link to a nonexistent article (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Disambiguation pages § Red links)

And your second edit got removed because:

• External links should not normally be placed in the body of an article
• It (probably) intended to promote a website (see Wikipedia:External links § Links normally to be avoided)

Kleinpecan (talk) 23:24, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

More clarification please?

Hi, this is linked to my foregoing question. If my citing of Miniatura was not acceptable, how is it that this link to another promotional site remains? I refer to "The UK's largest supplier of ready-made houses and furniture is Dolls House Emporium based in Kent but selling world-wide via their e-commerce website.[10]"

I have a deep interest in the field of miniatures and would like to be a valued contributor, but am somewhat confused where the line is drawn on commercial entities?

I am not Dirkbb, but I'll reply to this anyway. (Sorry if I fuck this up, Dirkbb.)

See WP:OTHERSTUFF. I'll paraphrase it: "Just pointing out that some dubious statement in an article exists does not prove that some other dubious statement should also exist; it is quite possible that the other statement should also be deleted but nobody has noticed it and deleted it yet". That "The UK's largest supplier..." thing you're talking about is indeed very dubious; it doesn't cite any source other than the company's Website (which is not a reliable source), so I've removed it.

Hello. You have just reverted a correction to the James E Webb article - [3]. Your changes make the lead consist of roughly 50% information about an event that happened after he died, instead of about the body of the article.

James E Webb is not a telescope, and wasn't alive when it was named after him, nor when that was controversial.

Regarding Anne Frank's Ashkenazi descent

Hello there, please excuse any mistakes I may stumble upon while writing this request, English isn't my first language and I have yet to fully grasp its trickier, subtler intricacies. I've recently added the category "Judeus asquenazitas"(that roughly translates to "Ashkenazi jews") to the Portuguese wiki's version of the Anne Frank article but it got removed by someone claiming that I needed a verifiable source to be able to do as I did. I honestly find that to be quite pointless given Anne Frank's parents' surnames and her place of birth but the editors running things over at the Portuguese language Wiki can be really,if you'll forgive my French, anal when it comes to these matters. Could you help me out on this issue? Do you know where I could find a reputable enough source to back up my edits?

Invitation to join New pages patrol

Hello Dirkbb!

• The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
• We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
• Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
• If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!
