IMDb as a source

I noticed that you recently used IMDB as a source for information in a biography article.

Heads up

Hi, Mcc1789. I just thought I'd give you a heads up on why I reverted this change on Spanish Brazilians. Whether you or I like it or not, it was templated for mdy in 2013 (which can be seen at the top of the article if you look at the edit view for the entire article). The spelling for 'recognised' means that, per MOS:ENGVAR, it sits in template:EngvarB which has become the preference for articles dealing with subject matter not related to any national variety of English. Most articles of this nature are developed by LOTE (Languages Other Than English) editors whose English spelling is entirely dependent on who taught them/what system they were taught under. EngvarB allows for more breathing room for LOTE editors while, for copy editors, it means only having to concern ourselves with consistency in maintaining 'our', 're' conventions. I'm fine with your changing back the 'recognise' to 'recognize' if you wish, but thought you might not be aware of the other stylistic guidelines. Wishing you a Happy New Year! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 02:41, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, scratch the EngvarB. After double-checking the article and it's been written using American English, so I'll be templating it as such (per WP:RETAIN). --Iryna Harpy (talk) 02:46, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

National varieties of English

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Hillsong Church, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:13, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Edit comments please

Hi, I see you've made some (apparently very tiny) changes to Sociobiology, but without explaining what you are intending by these near-invisible edits.

Sorry, it was just punctuation. I'm not sure why that comes off as vandalism. Mcc1789 (talk) 16:12, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Demonyms and adjectives

I notice that in a few articles recently, you have changed wording such as "is a New Zealand actress" to "is a New Zealander actress". This is incorrect. "New Zealander" is the correct demonym for a person from New Zealand, but a demonym is a noun, and nouns shouldn't be combined in this way. The term before "actress" is modifying it, so it is an adjective. In many cases, the adjective for a person from a country is the same as the demonym, e.g. Australian or American, but in the case of New Zealand the adjective differs, and "New Zealand" should be used to qualify a noun.-gadfium 21:13, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

English is inconsistent. We have to live with that, or move to a Wikipedia with a more consistent language. Is any natural language fully consistent, though?-gadfium 21:35, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thinking about it, I suspect the -er in New Zealander makes it always a noun. wikt:-er seems to list only nouns. In the "Etymology 2" section on that Wiktionary article you can see other examples of -er forming demonyms. Adjectives never end in -er, I suspect.-gadfium 21:56, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

-er does get used in comparatives, so "is a taller actress" is grammatical. Not relevant to this discussion, but undermines my last comment.-gadfium 22:01, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, but I've never heard of such a rule until now. It certainly explains why every page with a celebrity from New Zealand is marked that way though. The entire thing strikes me as bizarre though. Is there any other nationality that gets this? Regarding it being a noun, I'd think that is always the case for nationalities, as with proper names.-Mcc1789 (talk) 22:09, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wiktionary lists New Yorker, Londoner, Dubliner and New Englander as examples. Highlander might also be relevant.-gadfium 22:21, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Huh. Well, somehow that got past me all this time. I guess it's not common enough to come up much. Could you give me a link to where this rule gets laid out, for my curiosity?-Mcc1789 (talk) 23:12, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A noun which modifies another noun is a Noun adjunct (e.g. "chicken soup", but I'm not an English teacher and I don't know when it is or isn't appropriate to do this, except when it feels wrong. I'll raise a question on the Language reference desk and post a link to it here.-gadfium 00:30, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

All right, thanks.-Mcc1789 (talk) 00:45, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question posted at Wikipedia:Reference desk/Language#Demonyms ending with -er.-gadfium 00:50, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Okay great, I'll keep an eye on it.Mcc1789 (talk) 00:53, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So, the discussion now archived at Wikipedia:Reference desk/Archives/Language/2020 March 25 wasn't as definite as I thought it might be, but did remind me of List of adjectival and demonymic forms for countries and nations, and I'll link to that if I need to explain the usage in future.-gadfium 05:12, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Maquis De Sade

Hi. I’m new to wikipedia editing so please forgive me if I offend the norms here. I’ve been editing the Marquis de Sade page to improve accuracy.

BLP categories

Hi there. Can you please familiarise yourself with WP:CAT/R and WP:BLPCAT. In particular, Categories regarding religious beliefs (or lack of such) or sexual orientation should not be used unless the subject has publicly self-identified with the belief (or lack of such) or orientation in question, and the subject's beliefs or sexual orientation are relevant to their public life or notability, according to reliable published sources. (My emphasis added). In other words, it's not enough for someone to be gay or to be Catholic to add them to a Category:Gay people or Category:Roman Catholics category; their notability should derive in some way from their association with that sexuality or religion.
