Runescape

[edit]

Hi @Matthias2gen, just so you know wikis and other self-published sources are not reliable, because anyone can update or change the information. I'm not opposed to some kind of mention about notable RS players (perhaps in the community section?) but it would need to be sourced to a more reliable place. Alyo (chat·edits) 20:58, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Alyo that's a good idea. I'm surprised the guy is not brought up, nonetheless, I'm kind of using that as a temporary source. The section will evolve over time. Matthias2gen (talk) 21:08, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You may want to find some sources first, or create a draft section on the talk page that we can work on? I say that just because an article like Runescape attracts a lot of trivia and in-game content, as you can imagine, so editors tend to be very proactive about removing it as soon as it's added. Like I said though, I'd be happy to help write a few lines if you want to start a discussion on the talk page? Alyo (chat·edits) 21:29, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Alyo sure thing. Thanks for the suggestions! Matthias2gen (talk) 21:32, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Alyo would a YouTube interview be considered reliable? Matthias2gen (talk) 21:43, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Matthias2gen It would not, unless the interview is with an organization that we already consider reliable. For example, in the space of video games specifically, these are outlets/websites that editors have agreed are reliable. Conversely, anything published by Jagex themselves, or any sort of fansite, would not be reliable because they either are there to promote themselves or don't have any sort of editorial oversight. Alyo (chat·edits) 21:56, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Alyo No worries. Matthias2gen (talk) 22:00, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Alyo https://loot4rs.com/blog/zezima-2021 this is a 3rd party "company" site. Maybe not reliable either.....I'll keep looking till I strike gold Matthias2gen (talk) 22:02, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yup, that's a wp:blog :-/ Now you see why there hasn't been a mention of Zezima in the article -- I'm not sure there are actually any good sources about him! Alyo (chat·edits) 04:25, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Saussure4661 (talk) 02:28, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please respond as to whether you have a conflict of interest with the Unification Church. signed, Rosguill talk 01:40, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Rosguill no Saussure4661 (talk) 06:50, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
none at all Saussure4661 (talk) 06:50, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
reason you might not see other topics being edited is because my contributions have been rejected on the basis of lack of independent sources or improper paraphrasing. I've worked on Runscape and, Structuralism and both times my contributions were rejected. I'm getting that fixed and will soon be editing those pages once again. I have an interest in the Unification Church but I am not affiliated with them. Saussure4661 (talk) 07:00, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Could you briefly describe and explain the edits you have made at International Conference on the Unity of Sciences and Unification Church? They give a strong impression that you are trying to promote the subject. signed, Rosguill talk 07:12, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Rosguill Sure, Unification Church page had some serious neutrality violations, so I was looking at WP:WORDS and learnt that words like "cult" and "controversial" are frowned upon there. On the section of what they actually think of Judaism is virtually non existant, so I did a bit of digging in and reading and was able to sort of put together what exactly their independant stance is. As for the ICUS page, I wanted to know more about the topic and liked what I found. At first, the only comprehensive source was their main page. I believed the topic was big and important enough to have its own page. out of naivety, I wanted to base it off the page not realising a little more is needed for citations and to make it my own work. The current edits are the result of further digging Saussure4661 (talk) 07:30, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Can you explain why you have persisted in adding PR-like summaries of conferences at the ICUS page, despite citing a WaPo source that devotes far more space in its reporting to controversy around the event, and the debate among academics regarding whether or not to go? signed, Rosguill talk 15:51, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Rosguill because I'm covering the conference. I'm just trying to get the facts, and not that interested in tabloid reporting. if you read the whole of the articles you will notice that there is both controversy and support, which I both left out as I don't think what people say is relevant but rather basic information on the event itself, I'm steering clear of inflammatory language in some articles and just extracting the essence to get the essential. the articles talk a lot about funding, which can be relegated to a section of its own and doesn't need to be sprinkled throughout the article, otherwise it will read as bias. if I want to write about Gary Glitter, a British TV celebrity accused of being a paedophile, I first look for all the information about his career, background, noted accomplishments. and then, because the more darker side of him has given him a bad rap, I would dedicate a section about allegations of paedophilia without having to resort to interject commonly accepted facts such as "controversial". WP:WORDS makes this very clear, "Use clear, direct language. Let facts alone do the talking". The debate on whether to attend or not is rather interesting because there are reports and an essay done on the topic and the "consensus" if you may was in favor of attending. the idea is to be neutral, unbiased, non contentious, etc. I can add the debate if you like, but I would always put that in a separate section on the same article. Saussure4661 (talk) 16:25, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
what I'm doing is just basic 5Ws What, where, why, when stuff. Saussure4661 (talk) 16:28, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You are expected to follow the emphasis of reliable sources per WP:DUE: reliable sources thus far focus overwhelmingly on the question of whether or not the scientific community should attend, not on descriptions of individual sessions, and the article should reflect this. If the balance among RS is that people should attend, that's fine and can be included, but we should not be cherrypicking sources like the WaPo article just for details about attendance counts. Meanwhile, sources like GlobalPRNewswire are neither independent or reliable, and should not be consulted for the article. signed, Rosguill talk 16:37, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Rosguill articles usually cover several points. like I said, or at least was trying to get at, the question on whether to attend or not will be put there at some point, I edit a little at time. But it's not the only thing it covers. Thus far I have extracted what is in the article. More will be added with time Saussure4661 (talk) 18:05, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am expected to use reliable source, which I have, but I will review the other one you say is not reliable Saussure4661 (talk) 18:07, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
thise descriptions on individual sessions are from the article, they are not found anywhere else Saussure4661 (talk) 18:08, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Rosguill how do you tell if a source is reliable? just for my own reference going forward. Thanks Saussure4661 (talk) 18:17, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
WP:RS has general advice; you may also find Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (history) helpful for UC-related topics. If you're ever uncertain about a specific source, you can bring it to WP:RSN for discussion (WP:FRINGEN is another relevant noticeboard that would be applicable for UC-related topics, although its scope is a bit different than RSN, as it focuses on the difficult task of identifying the correct balance of sources for topics that outside the academic mainstream). WP:RSP has an archive of repeatedly-discussed sources for convenience, but it is not the be-all/end-all because reliability is ultimately based on context (discussed in more detail in the first link), and because it is obviously missing entries for many potential sources. signed, Rosguill talk 18:24, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Rosguill Thanks Saussure4661 (talk) 18:30, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Rosguill one question about citations. I don't get how sources get used when writing articles. When writing essays, you do some research, take a little bit from each and every source and you end up with something new. On Wikipedia, are you meant to paraphrase every idea of every paragraph on source? I've seen every sentence cite a source to link to one point that was taken from the entire source as part of an already edited paragraph, with the rest of the article not used. How does it work in practice? Thanks again Saussure4661 (talk) 01:51, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think that WP:DUE most directly addresses this question (at least off the top of my head): in practice it's a balancing act, which will vary from article to article (or even within the same article) depending on the sources available. Ideally, we start with high quality secondary sources that give an overview of the topic, which provides us with a framework for balancing the coverage of the rest of the article. This is part of why our general notability guideline is so much higher than simply proving something exists: if we don't have high-level coverage of a topic, it becomes impossible to figure out how to represent the various details and bits of information in tandem. It's also important to pay attention to how information is presented within one source: a single newspaper article or academic paper may include its own analysis, as well as analysis or quotes attributed to other sources--we need to be mindful of exactly who is making a claim when thinking about how to represent it on Wikipedia.
As far as the comparison to original essay writing, I think that most of your essay skills will still be applicable: you still want to be processing the information and reproducing it in your own words, it's just key to make sure that your final product does not claim or infer anything that wasn't in the original sources individually (see WP:SYNTH), and does not elide over anything that RS treat as a central aspect of the topic. At the same time, minor details, or information which the reliable sources attribute to less-reliable sources in their prose (e.g. quotes from a primary or biased source inside an RS) can be safely summarized, or if truly trivial, ignored. Finally, unlike in most essay-writing contexts, primary sources are to be used extremely sparingly on Wikipedia, essentially only allowed when a secondary source has called attention to them and they are needed for uncontroversial detail.
Ultimately, it's more art than science, which is why the talk page of pretty much any thorough article will be full of discussions negotiating these kinds of questions regarding the article's content. signed, Rosguill talk 18:16, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Taking Out The Trash (talk) 20:45, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TOTT, I think it's a little too early propose this page for deletion. I was sent an article by a friend which delved into the topic of inflated ego. After a bit of search I found that it's different than other Ego related topic already covered. I have edited quite a few other pages before, I understand what is "relevant" here and what is not. I'm merely bringing in chunks of texts and quickly carving away to give it life. Another reason I'm not simply adding it under an existing article is because it would be too big, it needs it's own space. Please be patient. Saussure4661 (talk) 21:04, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Attribution for splits

[edit]

Hi there, when you split an article and move the text to a new article, it's important to specify in the edit summary at the new article not only that content was split, but to indicate (and wikilink) the original source of the text. For example: "Contents WP:SPLIT from The Fairly OddParents; please see its history for attribution." Thanks! DanCherek (talk) 16:08, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up! When you say wikilink, is that just the internal article link? Also, does "Contents WP:SPLIT from The Fairly OddParents; please see its history for attribution." go to visual editing or source editing? I'm not great with Source editing so I use visual editor Saussure4661 (talk) 17:48, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That is an example of what you would put in the edit summary field, with either source or visual editor. Yes, by wikilink I mean writing like [[The Fairly OddParents]]; but just specifying the title of the original page is mainly the important part. Hope that makes sense. DanCherek (talk) 17:56, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It does, thanks! I hope I got this right: split the article, then in the edit summary of the new article, add "Contents WP:SPLIT from The Fairly OddParents; please see its history for attribution." as an example, publish and done? Saussure4661 (talk) 22:25, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Group work, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Interplay. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Addition of quotation marks in A Wanderer in the Spirit Lands

[edit]

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note because I saw that you added quotation marks around my paraphrase/summary. It's pretty important that Wikipedia doesn't make something look like a direct quotation when it isn't. I think you will be able to read the original news clipping for free here if you want to revise how it's being used in the article.

Incidentally, this article would really benefit from including a second book review to demonstrate that the subject meets WP:NBOOK. I wasn't able to find one quickly myself, but you might find that The Wikipedia Library can give you access to historical newspapers with reviews.

Thanks for your contributions, and happy editing! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 00:08, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
