Deletion of quotation from Margaret Sanger on Margaret Sanger page

[edit]

Greetings Peaceray. I'm always glad for constructive criticism; I don't want to overlook things. To assist me in not making such a mistake in the future, can you tell me where on the Margaret Sanger page it is that "if you had truely [sic] read the full article, would have seen that the fuller (& correct quote) was already in . . ." (reference given). I looked at that reference and didn't find it. I did a text search for the phrase "her goal was to eliminate the Negro race" that was in my quote in didn't find it; yet you said I would find it if I read the full article. I want to be a better, and fair, contributor to Wikipedia. To that end, can you tell me what I am doing wrong so that I missed the quote that you said was there, on the Sanger page? Chronic2 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 16:34, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Chronic2: You failed to search for the relevant string where I told you to look. I have further responded to the original thread at User talk:Chronic2#December 2024.
If you want me to respond to the original comment, please use the {{ping}} template, as in {{ping|Peaceray}}.
Please remember to sign your comments. This is a requirement as per WP:Signatures. You should not rely on SineBot to do this for you.Peaceray (talk) 17:19, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your question at AIV

[edit]

Regarding this edit, that "evidently a spambot or a compromised account" is, apparently, one of the choices in the drop-down menu Huggle or Twinkle offers when making the report. A lot of users often don't think too clearly about what that says (and in any event you were right to decline the report). Daniel Case (talk) 18:07, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Case: Thanks! Yes, it seems important to know when to say no, & also to educate errant reporters. I am still learning, as they must be still learning as well. I sometimes wonder if I should also be pinging them, since some of the users might be drive-by reporters. Peaceray (talk) 18:20, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, sometimes I've done that. I also watch out for people using the drop-down menu for "evidently a vandalism-only account" when they report IPs (of course, the better fix would be to amend the code so that option is not available when an IP is being reported (something beyond my capabilities).

Reverted edit of article on R

[edit]

Hi,

You just reverted my edits of the article on R since you interpreted my edits as a "test" that should be performed in the Wiki Sandbox. However, these edits were genuine and not a test. Please restore my edits unless you have any criticism against the contents of the edits.

Best, DoctorAro DoctorAro (talk) 16:27, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, another editor did that reversion. And I probably should have used the {{uw-mos1}} warning rather than the {{uw-test1}} template. Since you messaged me both here & on your talk page, I have added a more detailed discussion at User talk:DoctorAro#December 2024. Peaceray (talk) 17:21, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Suzanne Rouviere

[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Suzanne Rouviere requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
  • disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
  • is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:54, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

About Being Auto-Confirmed

[edit]

Hi, I have been in Wikipedia for 6 months. I just recently saw the User Access Level article and am wondering if I am eligible to be auto-confirmed. I would be grateful if you have a tour on my user page and recommend improving that one. Thank you. BlackRider90 (talk) 00:56, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@BlackRider90: Hi, go to WP:AUTOCONFIRM & the box on the left should indicate whether you are autoconfirmed or not. I will have a look at your user page a bit later. Peaceray (talk) 02:10, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I see a box on the left side. Is it showing only for me or it is attched to the article for everyone? BlackRider90 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 02:48, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@BlackRider90: It shows for everybody but the text will vary whether you are autoconfirmed or not. If it says you are autoconfirmed, you are.
You can also check your stats at xtools.wmcloud.org/ec/en.wikipedia.org/BlackRider90. I see that autoconfirmed is part of your user group.
Finally, you should always sign you posts with ~~~~ – if you want to customize your signature, have a look at WP:Signature tutorial & WP:Signatures. Peaceray (talk) 05:51, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, thank you, and can I add the "autoconfirmed" ribbon in my user page?BlackRider90 (talk) 16:22, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sure! Peaceray (talk) 16:24, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sterling Holloway

[edit]

His birthday is wrong . I have proof. thanks.. Tater1211 (talk) 11:58, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Tater1211: You are correct & I was wrong. I fell prey to reverting unexplained changes (no edit summary) without changes in citations, but I failed to check the existing citations.
I have added an explanatory footnote, rather than a HTML comment, to help me & others to avoid the same mistake in the future. I have also switched the preferred & deprecated birth dates at Sterling Holloway (Q725507) in Wikidata so that the preferred value appears first. Peaceray (talk) 20:29, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Native Hawai'ian

[edit]

Hi, you left me a message about a previous edit and I wanted to state why I did so. The Native Hawaiians page inconsistently uses the 'okina in spellings involving Hawai'i (alot don't have it but then there are other sections that with spellings that use it, making the article look less encyclopedic. I figured I just would add some to spellings of it since the article does use the standard spellings for other Indigenous Hawai'ian words, but must've accidentally added a few to article links. Aside from that my main reason for posting was updating some years info I noticed hadn't been added. I've just added the info without the additional 'okinas to other sections. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mwatuangi (talk • contribs) 07:52, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mwatuangi: That is fine, & I generally support the use of ʻokinas where appropriate. However, maintaining valid URLs for citations is sacrosanct & it is the responsibility of editors to maintain their validity & quickly restore then as necessary. That is why I reverted your otherwise proper edits. Please take care in the future not to invalidate URLs through negligence.
Incidentally, you can use the {{okina}} template to produce the ʻokina if you are not able do a copy and paste. Peaceray (talk) 17:19, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also, please use ~~~~ to sign your comments. Peaceray (talk) 17:21, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Care

[edit]

User:Toooyyymmmyy appears to have an agenda so care with Solomon Islands where your change appears to have been correctly reverted by an non logged in user. ChaseKiwi (talk) 12:25, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ChaseKiwi: Mea culpa! I should have checked Toooyyymmmy's edit. However, 75.142.212.152 did fail to leave an explanation for removing the material, which was the behavior I was addressing. In retrospect, would have been better to revert to Really steve's edit because the subsequent two edits still left the {{main}} template in the World War II section. That way I would have reverted to the last known good version & still have left the {{Welcome-unregistered-delete}} on 75.142.212.152's talk page.
92.17.242.34's manual reversion of my reversion is exactly what I hoped to see, a removal with an explanation. Peaceray (talk) 17:21, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
