User talk:I dream of horses/2017/April

Parbhani

@VTnav: Hi,
As we discussed earlier about making Parbhani a good article; I made some changes to it. Particularly, i added few references to history section. That was the most difficult task i think. I mean, getting "modern" or current day references wouldnt be that much difficult. IDH, would you please take a look at that history section (It is just 6-7 lines), and let me know how is it on the levels of GA? Thanks. :) —usernamekiran (talk) 22:34, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

@Usernamekiran: I would focus on filling out the "bare" URLs so they would have a full on {{cite web}} link. Also, the Indian army link threw up a security warning on my end, so someone should check that in a couple of days.

Also, I wouldn't think to cite another encyclopedia (like Encyclopedia Brittanica). I'm not saying it isn't okay to do that, though. Perhaps look at what Encyclopedia Britannica is using as sources if possible. -- I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 22:47, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

I thought britannica was recommended source by wiki. I will look for other sources. Nobody is interested in history, so finding it online is sort of difficult.

what was the security warning? Server's identity couldnt be verified?

what should i call you? You should decide that. :) —usernamekiran (talk) 23:01, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

@Usernamekiran: Call me "I dream of horses", "dream", "IDoH", or by my real name, "Emily".

Well, I'm sure encyclopedia britannica is considered to be a reliable source if it's been recommended by someone more experienced in writing articles then I. Like I said, I just wouldn't think to source Wikipedia with it.  I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 23:07, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

By the way, I'm not 100% sure as to what the warning was about---something about security; the server not being verified is a possibility. I didn't really take the name to read it, given that I hit the backspace pretty quickly. I can look at it again later if you want.  I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 23:09, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

Meh let it be. You dont need to go through trouble to see a stupid warning again lol.

is Emily pronounced as Emily Blunt? I guess VTnav has gone AWOL again.

My real name is kiran btw. It is Sanskrit for "Ray". —usernamekiran (talk) 23:14, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

Kiran I've been known to unexpectedly take wikibreaks, too.

Yes, it's pronounced the same way as "Emily Blunt".  I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 04:49, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

@Usernamekiran: Yep, I'm finally back, my excuse for being gone is spring break. I looked at Parbhani and I'm excited to get to work on it. VTnav (talk) 07:19, 1 April 2017 (UTC)VTnav

Disambiguation link notification for April 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Canton, Illinois, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page WHOI. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:59, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

A message from 173.59.0.73

I was trying to add sources to the James Gang additions. But everything keeps getting reversed whenever I'm in the process of doing so. In fact, much of that article was up for awhile with no one having any objections...until someone recently edited...and took out the whole last part of the article. But I was amazed no one objected to that removal of content.

173.59.0.73 (talk) 23:52, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Generally speaking, you want to add in sources in the same edit that you add in controversial information (drug use, etc.), particularly with living people. It's also best not to add entire paragraphs of information and quotes without inline citations either put in immediately or, at most, a few seconds after. Perhaps you can create an account, and then create a "sandbox" in your userspace.

Perhaps Sundayclose, who did the initial removal and reversed your edits, and also Mlpearc Phone, who also reversed your edits, can explain further.  I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 00:12, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

I agree that the sources should have been added with the edits, not after the fact. And I suggest that IP 173 use edit summaries. If both of those things had been done there might not have been a revert. But any further additions without sources will be reverted immediately. Sundayclose (talk) 01:53, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

A little guidance required

Hi YDoH,
There is a user, who is at least 80 years old. He has been on wiki since 3-4 years i think. He even created an impressive article. He is good at content writing, and he is very knowledgeable. But thats all. He is a little aware of wiki policies, but doesnt know how the wikipedia works with computers. The coding and stuff. It was you who welcomed him by the way. User talk:Stephen Singer

Currently, I am in contact with him through emails. But i dont know how to help/teach him from such a basic level. Any suggestions?

That also reminds me, I come arcoss a lot users who are welcomed by you. :-D —usernamekiran[talk] 02:41, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Kiran,

This is a difficult situation. It sounds like you are dealing with an expert editor who is, nonetheless, not that good with computers.

One way to deal with this is to link to policies/help pages and then try to summarize them in a few sentences. This works with most people. I'm not sure how much it'll work with Stephen, but it's worth a shot.

To some extent, somebody will probably always have to clean up after him a bit. It's good that you're helping him, anyways. It's more about the quality of writing rather than the quality of coding, anyways.  I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 02:46, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Emily

But it is not just that. I mean, he barely knows how to communicate. Thats the problem. How can you tell someone about something when cant even communicate properly? Did you see his talkpage, and his edit history? His work is really impressive.

btw, how can one pronouce your name like Emily Blunt when your name is just E-M-I-L-Y? —usernamekiran[talk] 02:53, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Kiran You just pronounce "Emily" without the "Blunt".

I'm guessing he doesn't seem to understand email, either. That's quite difficult. I don't think anyone with such difficulty has been able to contact me, for obvious reasons. I wonder if he can find the edit summary box, and if not, why? If he's simply not noticed it, has it been explained to him?  I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 02:59, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

No. I think he has normal command on emails. I mean, emails have been around since a very long time now. It's just very difficult to tell something from very basic. How was your day btw? And that was supposed to be a joke Emily. —usernamekiran[talk] 03:03, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Kiran Ha. Okay.

Perhaps directing him to his userspace sandbox will help somehow? Like, you can teach him how to do very basic code there, direct his attention to the edit summary box, etc.?  I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 05:14, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Leaving wiki

Long story short, I am leaving wikipedia
I wanted you to know.
You can send me an email anytime from my userpage if you need my assistance. I will be glad to do that. —usernamekiran[talk] 05:51, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

Kiran Sorry to hear that. Hopefully, you'll come back later with a clear mind. -- I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 05:56, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

not sure if that is going to happen. —usernamekiran[talk] 05:59, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

Kiran Weirder things have happened. Hope you are well, nonetheless. -- I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 06:28, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. :) Yes, I am apperfectly well. :) It is just, people are not treating me here nicely. It is better not to be here. —usernamekiran[talk] 07:00, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

Kiran Gee, sometimes that happens here, and it sucks. It always appears to be multiple sides to each story. I'm sure you did everything in good faith, and I'm sure a few people appreciate/will appreciate whatever you did. Continue to be well. -- I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 07:03, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

About orphan tag in article Thiru Nayathode Siva Narayana Temple

Why you are putting tag in Thiru Nayathode Siva Narayana Temple. The definition of orphan says

an orphan is defined as "an article with no links from other pages in the main article namespace".

And there are some links to another pages in Main Name Space

Please tell me how to remove the tag. What I want to do ? --Ranjithsiji (talk) 10:49, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

@Ranjithsjiji: I added it last month, probably when there wasn't any links to the article. I went ahead and removed it. -- I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 15:12, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for removing the tag. Be friends --Ranjithsiji (talk) 02:12, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

A message from USNorseman

In answer to your message: I edited an instance of the use of the German-only letter eszett(sp?), which is totally incomprehesnsible to almost akk English speakers, to the English equivalent letters "ss".

I really hope we do not get into a fight over this.

Basically, DPLBot is saying that you linked to a "behind the scene" page that has a list of articles with similar titles. It is reminding you that, most of the time, this is unintentional.  I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 01:02, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

Proposal for a page

Dear I dream of horses,

As previously you have contributed to Wikipedia in regards to financial articles, would you, please, consider writing an article on Creamfinance? It is a global financial services company that provides personal finance products in emerging markets. The company was ranked as the second fastest-growing company in Europe in 2016. Creamfinance is employing over 220 people and operating in 7 countries both within and outside of Europe – Latvia, Poland, Czech Republic, Georgia, Denmark and Mexico with an IT office in Austria.

I believe it corresponds to the Wikipedia notability rules as it has been talked about in legitimate third party sources:

If you wish I have put together a first draft for the page and can send it you.

According to Wikipedia guidelines I want to underline that I am a Project Manager at Golin Riga and I have been approached by Creamfinance to help with their representation on Wikipedia. Aozolins-golin-riga (talk) 07:51, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

@Aozolins-golin-riga: In the event that you become unblocked (and also for anyone who would glance upon this page), you should know that I've never written a Wikipedia article from scratch in my life. I'd be a horrible candidate for the job.  I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 18:04, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

You are invited to WikiProject YouTube

@Jamesjpk: Thanks, but I'm sure whatever I did in the YouTube article was incredibly minor, so no thanks.  I dream of horses (My talk page) (My edits) @ 06:45, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
