User talk:I dream of horses/2021/December

Message from Danslation

Hello Emily, I’m responding to your post on my User talk page yesterday: "I see you edited Kalisz. I would have though a paragraph or 2 about the statute would have been logical. But don't see any."

I simply added a link to the Jewish Encyclopedia article on Kalisz, which gives historical details of Jewish settlement, and persecution of Jews, in the city. I just moved that link from "External links" to "See also," where it seems to fit more logically. I did not delete any material from the Wikipedia article. I have not researched the statute you refer to, so I did not touch anything relating to that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danslation (talk • contribs) 18:04, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

@Danslation: You meant to talk to this IP editor. --I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 20:00, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

no experiment!

i am deadly serious about it! 37.188.165.244 (talk) 03:25, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

You know, I highly doubt we will ever need a 'gold diggers' section in a biography anyways, unless it's about a miner or someone in a similar profession. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 03:27, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

I do not share your doubts or believes. Still, you have no right to rollback constructive ideas just because you are "registered" user. That is exactly the reason why people are hesitant to edit wiki freely without a fear of being ridiculed or prosecuted here. 37.188.165.244 (talk) 03:32, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Fair, but you do realize there's an unspoken rule about not insulting the subjects of the biographical/company-related articles? And that it's because the registered users get all of the complaints, and on rare occasions get sued when that happens? I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 03:36, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

A message from Othofact

808beats 03:46, 4 December 2021 (UTC) Hello. My username is othofact the information that I have added is true I have many facts in my possession to back up what I written. I could go on to give you more information. copyrights, statements from links and more but that would done under a privacy agreement. The fact that this information has not been added before now is confusing to me. what would you need me to provide to help clear this up? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Othofact (talk • contribs) 03:46, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

@Othofact: If someone "did not received press or was asked to attend any venues[...]" then they probably don't warrant much of a mention on Wikipedia, for better or worse. --I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 03:48, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

A message from Othofact

I may have you confused concerning the press info. Metroplex didn't do any press on the artist or contact them fo any reason. Behind the scenes there are talks going on now dealing with the non sharing of information.The fact that there is no press from the label can be removed but the history of Erik Travis does exist and goes back to 1985. This is what is most important since it is part of Detroit techno history. I ave supporters on this members of Aux 88,Mike banks and other Detroit artist and Detroit dj's all conclude this is Detroit history

@Othofact: The fact that people exist isn't enough to have an article, or a mention in one; you need to have sources. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 04:26, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

A message from Othofact

808beats 04:55, 4 December 2021 (UTC)If one constantly has it's history blocked how will it become known? If that history is bigger than you know then maybe it should be searched. That's why I am doing this.This is why this site exists. I'm sure you are a Follower of Detroit techno History. There are facts out there but if you only want facts that depend on popularity then you decide to ignore true history. lets ask the questions to the very people who are in the Detroit techno history.Erik Travis who is he and should he be added. They will know and they will say yes.this research will left to you and others who want history to be correct.also look at the value of "Sound of mind programming" value you can start with Discogs Please consider it. othofact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Othofact (talk • contribs) 04:55, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

@Othofact: I'm not the one 'blocking...history.' I'm just enforcing the reliable sources policy Wikipedia has had to implement over the years. Someone else might be blocking history, but I'm not the one doing it. Wikipedia exists, in part, so people can review and research the sources it has.

Hello, about Wikipedia oversight policy after Aug 30, 2021

Hello, there’s a new Wikipedia oversight policy when I checked the this page in Chinese Wikipedia : (https://zh.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:监督)

When I checked this page, the first part of this page it said:

(自2021年8月31日起，维基媒体基金会不接受居住在中国大陆或其他封锁维基媒体项目的国家或地区且被基金會以外的第三方知悉確實居住地方的用戶签署非公开信息保密协议，且会撤销已经签署的协议。从而，这些用户无法被授予用户查核员或监督员权限。)

In English (by translation): From August 31, 2021, the Wikimedia Foundation will not accept non-public information confidentiality agreements signed by users who live in mainland China or other countries or regions where Wikimedia projects are blocked and are known by third parties other than the foundation to actually live in. And will revoke the signed agreement. Therefore, these users cannot be granted user checker or supervisor authority.

Although I don’t know where source it is? Thanks MSA09 (talk) 17:58, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

@MSA09 Hmm, that page exists, and seems to have a paragraph similar to what you're saying. I wonder what happened to the previous link you had in your edit summary. You can put it back without me reverting. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 18:02, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

@QueenLove21 So, I have three responses to that:

1. If you don't write in properly spelled standard English, you're going to have a rough time.
2. If you actually know him, finding reliable sources should be easy.
3. Sounds like you have a conflict of interest. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 13:22, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Question from Theeelest (18:54, 13 December 2021)

Hi there!

I'm trying to upload a new picture for a wiki page about my boss, but I can't seem to figure out how to upload a file for his profile. Do you have any suggestions? --Theeelest (talk) 18:54, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

@Theeelest First thing you need to do to comply with the Terms of Usage of the website is to declare that you are editing on behalf of his boss on your userpage.

Then, you can write a draft at articles for creation; don't worry about images until the draft is approved. The only exception is if the article actually exists. In that case, go ahead and link to the article so I can take a look at it. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 01:17, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

A message from Talonso

Contested deletion This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... it informs the public and the academids in particular about the cultural work pursued and promoted, both in Europe and in the Americas, by a known and respected academic University Chair, under the auspices of a reputed Literature Nobel Prize winner--Talonso Talonso (talk) 02:06, 14 December 2021 (UTC) (talk) 01:30, 14 December 2021 (UTC) Talonso (talk) 02:16, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

Dear madam, maybe you can help me on the issue of this labeling of my article because I don't quite understand on my own what parts of it, about the Vargas Llosa Chair, can be understood or disqualified as a promotion. Particularly since there is little to promote about it since it doesn't have the slightest comercial interest. Simply, at the inauguration of the center in Miami of the Chair, I've been told that there was not yet an article in English about the history and works of the Chair Vargas Llosa and I have started to write it. The literary Chair Vargas Llosa doesn't have any comercial purpose and it is simply a cultural activity. I would be grateful if you would be so kind to orientate me, so to remove those parts of the article that inadequately might exceed the information on the projects, seminars and awards organized by the Vargas Llosa Chair in the Ibero-American cultural and academic fields. Thank you very much in advance and sorry for the inconvenience caused by ignorance Talonso Talonso (talk) 01:55, 14 December 2021 (UTC) Talonso (talk) 02:11, 14 December 2021 (UTC) Talonso (talk) 02:16, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

@Talonso You probably intended to write an informational article about the Vargas Llosa Chair but wrote an article that advertised it instead. It doesn't matter that the organization is non-commercial in nature.

I wonder if you have some sort of connection to the organization. Why were you at the inauguration? I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 02:20, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

@(Talk) But.. why would you wonder about me being in that said inauguration, since I'm just sitting in Madrid? The interest is just as being part of one of a dozen universities connected with the literary talks that are one of the programs we do with the Vargas Llosa Chair. I'm however sorry about the "advertising" style and can of course try it again.

Median wasp

Helplodiploid? Quetzal1964 (talk) 20:31, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

@Quetzal1964 Context? I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 20:32, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

“The median wasp has a helplodiploid sex determination system that results in a high level of relatedness within the colony.” You changed this from the correct spelling, I wondered why. Apologies for the laconic comment.Quetzal1964 (talk) 21:09, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

At Median wasp, the text was incorrect... "halplodiploid" and was changed in an obvious attempt to help (harhar) here.

It was then corrected here.

...and is all good now. I think.Shajure (talk) 01:01, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

@Quetzal1964 and @Shajure: I partially re-reverted my edits (there was some "curly quotes vs. straight quotes" corrections going on in my original edit as well) and added {{not a typo}}, a useful template for just this situation. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 01:17, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

Deletion of Billy Cobb questionnaire

You reviewed my article, Billy Cobb (musician), and nominated it for deletion. What can I do to improve the quality of the article, and how can I ensure that it is not deleted? What is the time frame for said deletion? Thank you. EvanTeaches (talk) 14:24, 17 December 2021 (UTC) Also, most of the information I got on Cobb's personal life and personal details, I asked him personally. I don't know if I could verify or prove this information but I will try to find other details. EvanTeaches (talk) 14:26, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

@EvanTeaches I think you might've accidentally hit the nail on the head. Not everyone on the planet is going to know Cobb personally, and information needs to be verifiable by reliable, independent sources. As an anti-defamation measure, this is particularly true of living people. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 15:59, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

I will try to get articles in and get more reliable sources! Please be patient, as I do not always have consistent access to a personal computer. Currently a work in process. 207.255.136.130 (talk) 03:21, 19 December 2021 (UTC) 207.255.136.130 (talk) 03:21, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

Nile Crocodile diet

Just so you know. I didn't write the article. I merely spun it off from the main Nile Crocodile article because the main article was too big. LittleJerry (talk) 02:34, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

@LittleJerry Interesting, the Nile Crocodile article has (presumably) been copied to "another" online encyclopedia, but the article you spun off seemed to be copied from two articles. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 03:23, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Sam Bone

Hello I dream of horses. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Sam Bone, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The relevant AFD was in 2017. The 2021 version of this article, in my opinion, is substantially different enough to avoid outright WP:G4 deletion. While the 2021 version would at first appear to pass WP:NFOOTY, the League of Ireland Premier Division is listed as "not fully professional". Perhaps a second AFD? Pete AU aka. Thank you.

In regards to your rating of the Nancy Abudu article, why is it included in the WikiProject Louisiana? Was that a typo?

A message from MrMatchkick

Thanks for suggested amendments to the page three plus two specifically regarding filming details. The comments I have so far added were those relating to off site filming in Leningrad during April-Nov 1962 as it was then rather than the updated name of St Petersburg (1991) (as the reverted page incorrectly states) . These additions were verified against the Russian version of Wikipedia for the film as well as other sites. I believe them to be accurate and helpful to aid understanding of the film.

I was going to add a considerable amount of further information relating to the filming in the Crimea such as details of camera locations for the filming of the headlands walks etc. In addition I was also going to include many lesser know facts such as there were off screen relationships going on, the girls were rivals and not friends off screen and both married the same cosmonaut. The film was more successful than expected and retrospectively the actors got a payrise and so there was rumor of a sequel based in Moscow but the director died the following year due to stomach cancer etc, etc, etc .......

I've watched the film many,many,many times, during a year resyncing its subtitles from the wide screen to narrow screen format which was not an easy task. As such I feel I do know a little bit about the film and wanted to constructively share this acquired knowledge.

Whilst I could spend time drafting this information , referencing and citing. All of which will help folks understand the film and its production, I have other projects off line that also require my tiny amount of spare time. As such I really don't have much more energy or the perseverance to spend working on providing information only to find that someone else wishes to change my contributions saying that they are "not constructive" .

Sadly my journey with the editing of the Wikipedia project and offering further information is quickly drawing to a close, I have other places where my energies can be better spent and appreciated. I frustratingly find that many contributors have their own editorial agendas and when other information is offered in good faith and backed up, it is is not always received well as it does not fit in with a page they may have crafted in a certain way. As such I may decide only to use Wikipedia pages for reference in future

I wish you well with your ongoing work with wikipedia , but I'm not sure its ethos and branding is for me. It's a shame as I feel I have a lot of valid contributions to make. No worries I still have the film to enjoy and my own private research has helped me to enjoy it considerably. It's just a shame others wont now have the opportunity to access this knowledge.

Best wishes

MrMatchkick (talk) 21:23, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

@MrMatchkick Looks like you were one of the few mistaken I had. I'm sorry. I've self-re-reverted. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 22:12, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

A message from MGolden

Hi - I received a thank you notice for my recent edits to the article on Heaviside-Lorentz units. I have never received a notice like that before, and I was wondering (a) how you found that particular edit, and (b) what the protocol is for sending such messages. I have been on Wikipedia a long time but there's always something to learn, it seems.

And Happy Holidays.

Mgolden (talk) 23:43, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

@Mgolden Did I thank you? Rest assured, not only have I turned off the thanks feature in the program I was using, you also don't need to do anything when you do get thanked. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 23:46, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

You did. I was not in any way perturbed or annoyed about a thanks - in fact it pleasant to get positive feedback about the stuff I was doing. I also didn't assume that I had any obligations as a result of receiving it. But the subject of that article is s bit esoteric, and I was wondering who was reading it and what in particular induced the thanks. If it was an accidental spam I guess that's okay too. Mgolden (talk) 23:52, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

@Mgolden I was using huggle. I intended to inform other Huggle users that your edit didn't need anything to be done to it. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 23:53, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

Query

Hi I dream of horses, happy holidays! Are you sure about this edit? Since the "Academy" is the proper name of a school (the Platonic Academy), I assume it should stay capitalized. I'm only reaching out as to "warn" you if you are using automation to lowercase the word "Academy" across WP (since there are likely uses for the same reasons in other articles). Aza24 (talk) 01:07, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

@Aza24 I partially self-reverted, and added {{not a typo}} where it made sense. That way, AWB will skip the word for now on. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 01:35, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

1. We don't have an "administrator of the page" user status. No one "owns" a page here.
2. You could've requested deletion immediately after creation, but now there's too much time passed, and other people have probably contributed to the page. You can still make changes and corrections, you just can't delete it. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 04:04, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
