Welcome and introduction

Hi, Pldx1. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person by golly! And this real person (that would be me), wants to say welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've made an account! Thanks for joining; you're on your way to making some great contributions.

Because I've noticed you've just joined, I wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. Any questions are fine, nothing is too silly (we've heard them all). Now, the tips below - hop on them - they should help you begin editing. Best of luck! JoeSmack Talk 17:48, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

courtesy name

Hi! I'm sorry but this not how it works. I am not oblidged to start looking for references for every single unreferenced article on Wikipedia. But as a patroller I AM oblidged to warn readers that the article is unreferenced, thus the content might or might not be reliable. Taking the tag off won't solve the problem of the article. Are you trying to make it look like this is a good article? It's not the way to do it. Without proper sources the whole thing can just as well be fiction. Teemeah 편지 (letter) 10:31, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

This message from User:Teemeah seems to be a reply to a summary written at Courtesy name. The summary was saying: "If you want to add a reference, add it. If you want to remove something, remove it. Be bold, do it yourself!". Teemeah tell us she is one of these Galactic Patroller whose duty and oblidgations are limited to warn the innocent reader that an unreferenced page is unreferenced. Great job, indeed. Who shall provide the missing references? Some Galactic Referencer that will grace us with her venue in some future point of the time? Maybe taking the tag once more will accelerate the process? I will try perhaps. Pldx1 (talk) 18:00, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

You can provide the missing references if you want to. But not notifying the readers that the content may actually be unreliable because there are no sources presented is not the solution. Why are you asking me to start looking for references, when you yourself are not doing it? :) Ask only things you also do yourself. We have problem tags for a reason. You can as well correct the problems of the article. Untagged articles give the impression that the article is good for use. There 4 million pages in the English Wikipedia alone. patrollers job is to review and notify whether there are problems with an article. It's not about correcting every mistake. YOU can also correct the problems, if you have references. I don't have Chinese books, nor can I read Chinese to correct them. But I can show others there there is a problem with the article, so actually someone who reads it and has the necessary books/sources can actually see "hey, this is unreferenced, and I have a book about Chinese names, I can correct it". There are also editors who look through the problematic categories (eg. category:Articles lacking sources) and select articles that interest them and add sources. If we don't list problematic articles anywhere, nobody will know that there is a problem that needs a solution. Your sarcastic tone only shows you have absolutely know clue about how Wikipedia works. Read up first, maybe, before mocking people who have been doing this for 8+ years. Cheers. Teemeah 편지 (letter) 16:14, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

WP:ACE2015

Hi Pldx1,

Unfortunately, you appear to have had under 500 mainspace edits as of the 1st November (480 as of today), so are ineligible to stand for Arbcom. Therefore, I have unfortunately had to delist you. For the Election Commission, Mdann52 (talk) 13:52, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:08, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

second !vote vs. comment

Hi Pldx1. Thanks for catching my error in the Articles for deletion re S. Perera (Old Cambrians cricketer) (2nd nomination). In the future, instead of moving a second "delete" position to the right, consider striking out the "delete" portion and add comment, e.g. * Delete --> * Comment Delete. That way, you assume good faith by not asserting that someone is trying to get in two iVotes in an AfD discussion. I endeded up deleting my first posting. I posted the second posting because I thought the first one did not go through as I did not see it at the bottom of the page at the time. -- Jreferee (talk) 13:42, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer (and your move on the AfD page). Now, I will strike out my comment on that page. Obviously, good faith was assumed. Cheers! Pldx1 (talk) 13:47, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Votes

Hi there. I don't think it's safe for me to get involved in this situation any more. This AfD looks like it might have significant ramifications for the entirety of cricket coverage on Wikipedia and I'm not sure it represents how I feel any more.

I promise I'm not sulking, I promise I'm not throwing my toys out of the pram, I'm just sad that it's come to this situation. Bobo. 13:12, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Only just realized

You know, I just realized the stupidest thing after the longest time. You know you indented my second keep vote on the discussion, which you indented? I intended to write "Comment", not "Keep"! That was my fault. Hopefully this whole situation will die down now. Bobo. 16:02, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi Pldx1, I apologize if I misunderstood what was happening at that AfD and messed up something you wanted to do. I think the confusion was caused by the IPs that posted to talk by mistake. The best thing when that happens is to move them. It's usually neater not to have sub-sections too, though that matters less. Anyway, it will be closed soon and looks like a clear keep.

Hi,

I notice that you've placed a test edit on Jimbo Wales' talk page to see if ClueBot III would archive it.

I was going to try and place the closing discussion template on the thread you started to see if that encourages the bot to archive it.

Thank you for participating in and supporting my RfA. It was very much appreciated. With regard to the bits needed for ArbCom member, I thought full admin rights would be an overkill, but some bits may be required. A problem with many bits is that they become transparent once you have them, ie that there is no indication that you are using them. Someone should take another look at the issue. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:33, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

I don't understand...

...the point you were trying to make at Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_adminship/Hawkeye7_2/Bureaucrat_chat#.2270.25_is_not_unanimity.22_is_not_an_argument --Dweller (talk) 16:35, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

I was saying that the rationale "score is between 2/3 and 3/4, therefore not so clear" will apply each time a RfA will turn between 2/3 and 3/4. If this is to be used to decide "not granted", this will apply each time and this is nothing but turning the decision "[2/3,3/4] is discretionary" into "[2/3,3/4] is never ever". And I was saying that I strongly disagree with that. Pldx1 (talk) 09:04, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
That simply isn't the case, as a trawl of decisions taken in borderline RfXs will show you. Here's a discretionary zone cratchat that resulted in promotion last summer. And I didn't understand what the chart of Crats was supposed to show, either. --Dweller (talk) 13:37, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:Great Eastern Main Line RDT.src

A tag has been placed on Template:Great Eastern Main Line RDT.src requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

A10, F1; duplicate of Template:Great Eastern Main Line RDT

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Happy now? Useddenim (talk) 22:08, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

P.S. Were you planning to write {{BS2ROUTE}}? Useddenim (talk) 22:40, 6 March 2016 (UTC)


Discussion salvaged from Template talk:Great Eastern Main Line RDT.src

This page should not be speedily deleted because this file is the code source of template {{Great_Eastern_Main_Line_RDT}}. This source is coded in the {{BS-map}} format. This format is human readable, and was used to obtain the {{Routemap}} template that is actually used by transclusion. This other format is far less human readable. A really great solution would be to write a BS2ROUTE template that could do the translation. Using {{BS2ROUTE|Great Eastern Main Line RDT.src}} would be an efficient method to ensure that both files remain in sync. In fact, many of the templates written in the {{BS-map}} format generate an overflow when directly transcluded. Let us be nice with the people that are writing this kind of templates.

By the way, I am waiting for a message on my talk page about this request for speedy. --Pldx1 (talk) 21:30, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

I agree that a template (I assume it would be subst:'d) to translate {{BS-map}} to {{Routemap}} format would be helpful; but if you can't associate |ICON|ICON|O0=ICON||Text with ICON\ICON!~ICON~~Text, then I have to question if you should even be editing RDT's in the first place. Besides, the syntax of {{BSmap}} is hardly "human readable" in the first place. Finally, keeping a second copy of a page in a different format in a separate location is a bad idea, and just begging for divergence. Useddenim (talk) 22:37, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
I don't think this ".src" page is a good idea either, it's not a conventional subpage to the root page like [[/old]]. Wiki keeps all the history of each page, so we only need to remark the last version of BS-map in the root talk page of this diagram template for sake of clarity. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 00:54, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
A10 is for articles, F1 is for files, and T3 is for templates. They are all for pages that are duplicates of another page. 96.41.0.15 (talk) 04:03, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
  • Thanks for salvaging this discussion. Some remarks:
  1. I agree that Great_Eastern_Main_Line_RDT/src would have been a more conventional wiki-name than Great_Eastern_Main_Line_RDT.src
  2. I am not a regular user of {{BS-map}} or {{Routemap}}. I was rather a passer-by, with the intent of keeping the Great Eastern Main Line page below the template_include_size_limit.
  3. I was curious of the reason of the avoidance of the new format {{Routemap}} by the usual maintainers of several RDT templates. I have drawn in petto my own conclusions, but maybe I was wrong about that.
Pldx1 (talk) 23:51, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
Personally, I prefer {{Routemap}} because it's much friendlier when dealing with overlays (not necessary to keep track of what column an icon is in, which overlay it is), and it's not necessary to change the {{BS}} sub-template when adding or removing columns. I'm guessing the opposition to using the new template is fear of the unfamiliar. According to Sameboat, about half of the RDTs at zh:WP have already been converted. So, unless there's a compelling reason (approaching the size limit, or left-and-right text) I'm not changing existing diagrams. Useddenim (talk) 16:55, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
Dear Useddenim. I think that, sadly, this is far worse than fear of the unfamiliar. Everybody knows that "one should remain conceptual" in our mind and that we should think "let us call a subroutine" instead of "let us make a JSR", or "let us match a pattern" instead of "let us make a sed -e ". But the trend exists. Lets apply that to User:Pldx1/Bs-map/Trident13_Railways/src#Canadian_Pacific_Railway as example. This one is a {{BS-map}}-coded map, while User:Pldx1/Bs-map/Trident13_Railways#Canadian_Pacific_Railway is its {{routemap}} counter-part (where I have replaced all missing icons with a yellow disk). One can see that something turned wrong somewhere. What is your best guess about how to fix these maps ? (this is not a test, I simply have not found a convincing solution). Best regards. Pldx1 (talk) 18:37, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
OK, the {{routemap}} version has been fixed. As far as I can tell, most of the problem came from attempting to load a non-existent icon. The rest was fixed with some half-width d and quarter-width c icons. Useddenim (talk) 23:33, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

About page splitting

Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give List of Pokémon episodes/Header a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Gamaliel and others arbitration case opened

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gamaliel and others. The scope of this case is Gamaliel's recent actions (both administrative and otherwise), especially related to the Signpost April Fools Joke. The case will also examine the conduct of other editors who are directly involved in disputes with Gamaliel. The case is strictly intended to examine user conduct and alleged policy violations and will not examine broader topic areas. The clerks have been instructed to remove evidence which does not meet these requirements. The drafters will add additional parties as required during the case. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gamaliel and others/Evidence.

Please add your evidence by May 2, 2016, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gamaliel and others/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. This notification is being sent to those listed on the case notification list. If you do not wish to recieve further notifications, you are welcome to opt-out on that page.

Igogo festival

Hi Pldx1,

I trust you're fine. Thanks for your comment at the Evidence page. You said "a new reference has appeared, supposed to be about the celebration of new yams. This Poynor's paper is easy to find [1]. Page 86 is made of end notes. None of them is about yams or the Igogo festival. Nor any other part of this reference paper. Dear mentors, any comments ?

The source on page 86 reads: 

"The number seventeen seems to be of ritual significance in Owo. Igogo, the most important annual festival in the kingdom, a combination of New Yam festival and purification ceremony merged with a memorial to the goddess Oronshen, also takes place over a seventeen-day period. The burial of the Olowo takes seventeen ritual days. These and other significant ceremonies all begin on the day of the five-day market."

Please, let me know if I am missing anything there and I will correct it as soon as possible. Thank you. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 00:13, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Proper use of article talk pages

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Talk:List of rulers of Ife, please bear in mind that page and others like it are meant for discussing improvements to the article in question. It is not meant for general discussion of the topic of the article, nor as a forum for criticism of other users and their behaviour, even in regard to their editing of the article. Please also be aware that sarcasm is not seen as conducive to constructive discussion on article talk pages, or elsewhere on the Project. Civility is one of Wikipedia's five pillars, and behaviour that is taken as uncivil can lead to editors being blocked from editing. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 12:46, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Dear User:Hijiri88. From https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=User%3AHijiri88&year=&month=-1, I deduce that you have a great knowledge about blocks. Thank you for letting me know. Pldx1 (talk) 13:17, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Sorry. I forgot to sign my ANI notice. Please request that I be indefinitely blocked from editing Wikipedia. And be sure to ping me when you do so; of your last seven non-mainspace edits, you have forgotten to ping me in two of them. I have not explicitly asked you to ping me with every edit you make, but you appear to be doing so on purpose, so your not doing so on two occasions would seem to have been a mistake.

Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gamaliel and others closed

An arbitration case regarding Gamaliel and others has now closed and the final decision is viewable at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:

  1. Gamaliel is admonished for multiple breaches of Wikipedia policies and guidelines including for disrupting Wikipedia to make a point, removing a speedy deletion notice from a page he created, casting aspersions, and perpetuating what other editors believed to be a BLP violation.
  2. DHeyward and Gamaliel are indefinitely prohibited from interacting with or discussing each other anywhere on Wikipedia, subject to the usual exemptions.
  3. DHeyward (talk · contribs) is admonished for engaging in incivility and personal attacks on other editors. He is reminded that all editors are expected to engage respectfully and civilly with each other and to avoid making personal attacks.
  4. For conduct which was below the standard expected of an administrator — namely making an incivil and inflammatory close summary on ANI, in which he perpetuated the perceived BLP violation and failed to adequately summarise the discussion — JzG is admonished.
  5. Arkon is reminded that edit warring, even if exempt, is rarely an alternative to discussing the dispute with involved editors, as suggested at WP:CLOSECHALLENGE.
  6. The community is encouraged to hold an RfC to supplement the existing WP:BLPTALK policy by developing further guidance on managing disputes about material involving living persons when that material appears outside of article space and is not directly related to article-content decisions.

And we have now another fact: the person who erased the comment was exactly the one whose conclusion was criticized. Great process again !!! Pldx1 (talk) 09:03, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
    • Pldx1, if you disagree with an XfD closure, discuss it with the closer or bring it to WP:DRV; but don't edit the closed discussion. If you think an error has occurred, explain why you think so, and take the simple steps to get the issue reopened.
Your "facts" are one falsehood:
And one rhetorical flourish:
  • If you have a reasoned basis for your claim that this is akin to saying akin to Diana, Princess of Wales was a British monarch, then set it out with examples of non-monarchs who are now miscategorised. Otherwise you are simply engaging in hyperbolic rhetoric.

Pldx1, you may have a point that the "Korean monarchs" category name is misleading at the moment. (I'm inclined to believe you because that's exactly the point I raised in the CfR discussion, as you saw.) So, if you have a better name in mind, propose the rename on WP:CFR and I'll likely bother to support it. (As long as you can identify at least one non-monarch currently categorized as a monarch, i.e., evidence that the current category name is misleading.
