Hi! Thanks for your recent edits on Pillar Point Harbor. I had been working on an expansion of that article for a few days when I noticed your changes. Since we both made some significant changes, the merge was not trivial, but I tried to incorporate all of your changes. Let me know if I missed anything. CodeTalker (talk) 21:54, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Regarding requests for stewards to perform tasks

Regarding your requests at WP:RMTR: Just wanted to let you know that in order to request for a steward to take an action, the request must be made at one of the pages found at meta:Steward requests (such as this request). Stewards usually do not monitor specific pages on any Wikimedia project, so they have to be requested in this specific manner to get their attention. Steel1943 (talk) 22:20, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Regarding the Wikipedia talk:Introduction archives...

Would you be able to completely remove the root= parameter from the transclusion of {{Archives}} on Wikipedia talk:Introduction after this request To move that page to Wikipedia talk:Introduction (historical) gets fulfilled ... in the event I don't get to it first? (I know we are both looking out for the progression of events with this, but I'm about to get busy in RL, so I don't know if I will get to it before you do.) Steel1943 (talk) 23:45, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Of course! Thanks for your help with implementing the RfC, Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 23:51, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Re: Tab templates

Sorry, I made a couple minor edits before seeing your change to my profile page, which I've reverted because I'm so confused at this point. I will just let editors sort this out and I'll keep an eye on how my profile tabs look in a few days. Thanks, ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:34, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Regarding this RFC and other editors undoing some changes

Until these pages get moved, I think we probably just need to create redirects from the "(historical)" titles to their equivalents without "(historical)" at the end until the pages get moved ... since as you know, there have been other editors undoing these changes to update these links because of them breaking transclusions of these pages. Steel1943 (talk) 00:34, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

@Steel1943: could I kindly request you please move the pages to the "(historical)" titles? Based on what Jonesey95 said, I don't forsee that breaking anything, as long as we leave the redirects at the titles without "(historical)". We could probably put an HTML comment under each redirect to minimize the number of people who'd break something by changing the redirect. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 16:52, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm not sure if I'll get around to it, but I think that's an okay play at this point: move the pages that some have move protection, and for now, create redirects to the pages that are move protected. Steel1943 (talk) 16:56, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

"Hirono (surame)" listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Hirono (surame). Since you had some involvement with the Hirono (surame) redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. Regards, SONIC678 04:35, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

With reference to sock puppetry

I have already confirmed that i am having an another account known as Phelanthrophist As previously you have opened the discussion regarding me I have already disclose the issue with senior editors thanks have a great day Maizbhandariya (talk) 16:46, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Can you please explain what you actually want to say

I don't understand what you meant to say Maizbhandariya (talk) 19:26, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Curious, can you point me to the guidance

Your comment that interviews aren't reliable I can't find in WP guidance. WP:RSP sources report on interviews all the time and are incl on WP. Can you tell me where you're basing that so I can fix some articles. Thx. ToeFungii (talk) 04:07, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

@ToeFungii: per WP:TPO: Never edit or move someone's comment to change its meaning, even on your own talk page (emphasis in the original), as you did at Talk:Gregory Tony#Edit warring. If you find a statement objectionable, ping the person or ask on their talk to strike it, after explaining what for.

Since you've already opened a BLP noticeboard discussion, I'll leave the clarification of reliable sources policies to them. No use splitting the discussion and repeating statements. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 04:40, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

I apologize. I did not see you had made a comment. When I looked at the history I thought I was solely undoing my comment. Not sure if I hadn't refreshed the page and it wasn't intentional. But I would still like to ask where your comment that interviews aren't reliable is based on. If you answer on the article's talk page no need to come here, but I am curious because I've read thru blp and rsp and don't see anything that says that but I could easily be missing it as it's a lot of materials. thx.

Help with "Petr & The Wulf (album by Munly & The Lupercalians)"

Main article: Petr & the Wulf

Hi, I wanted to thank you for all your edits on this page! Looks we were both on the page at the same exact time at one point :O

I'm still new at all this - I've also been editing Jay Munly (if you've noticed) and Slim Cessna's Auto Club these past couple of months.

I do have a question to ask you: I picked a page at random to try to model this page after - I chose Taylor Swift's Speak Now album. On "Track Listing" and "Personnel", it says "credits adapted from liner notes". If you hover over the numbered citations, one example is: Speak Now Deluxe Edition (CD). Taylor Swift. Big Machine Records. 2010. 602527493947. Should the 'source' for liner notes look more like that? What does the last number mean, and how do I cite that? Is there a template for it? - Xx rapunzel xx (talk) 02:05, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

@Xx rapunzel xx: no problem, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Before I answer your question, some advice: model an article you're improving after a featured or good article. While that method is not completely foolproof, FAs and GAs, as they're often abbreviated, go through a review before promotion. What you're looking to emulate: a) quality of the prose, b) types and quality of the references, and c) article structure.

Should the 'source' for liner notes look more like that?

I might not be the right person to ask; I don't edit music articles much and have little music knowledge more generally speaking. Some featured articles on albums have that phrasing; some don't. You may find Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums helpful. Looks like they have a style guide in addition to the usual WikiProject talk page (where you can ask questions).

What does the last number mean, and how do I cite that?

While I lack familiarity with albums, this number looked like other identifiers I have encountered, like ISBNs or DOIs. Some database tells me it's that CD's UPC.

Ideally, you would have direct access to the physical media itself and copy the number beneath the barcode. If not, you could probably omit it. Of course, if you have the number, definitely put in the citation; the more info readers have to find the source, the better.

Is there a template for it?

Template:Cite AV media notes. Based on the template documentation, the article should actually cite the liner notes' ISBN or other more specific identifier, instead of the UPC. That makes sense, as the CD is technically a related but separate object, and the liner notes are a book(let) after all and so would be assigned an ISBN.

Hope that helped! Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 02:59, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you so much!

But i must have mixed it up again, i just don't understand why all the rest is not shown... the further reading section, the external links etc. - am i really so stupid to make the same mistake twice? Please, could you again have a look? I stop for tonight, i'm afraid as anxious as i am, i will erase the whole text unvoluntarily... sigh... --Gyanda (talk) 21:16, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Okay, i guess, i managed to get it okay again after you fixed it and i mixed it up again :-) - Please excuse, i didn't know that such little things as "/" could cause so much trouble. Kind regards and again thank you for fixing it! --Gyanda (talk) 21:25, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

You're welcome! There's a saying that computers are like small children: the problem isn't that they don't do as you say but that they do exactly as you say. It just takes some time to adjust, so don't worry! (-: Everyone was once a beginner, and then we become proficient by making mistakes and learning from them, right? Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 21:40, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

I wrote to a friend about this and i wrote: "If you think you know what you're doing - then it goes wrong" :-) - one has to be so concentrated and on high-alert when working on wikipedia. It's not only the formatting which of course is different in the german version of wikipedia than in the english - it's also to be alert on translating the text in a good manner and sometimes, when it is late at night and you think, ah, i will only finish this small chapter - boing... you're out :-). I was so thankful that you found the mistake i had made - i was really afraid, i would have to re-write and re-formate everything i worked on the whole day. Thanks again!!! Wonderful that you have such a sharp eye that you could identify the mistake! Kind regards, --Gyanda (talk) 23:54, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Question

Hi Rotideypoc41352, I noticed that you replaced Template:Infobox person on Cloudkitty's userpage with Template:Infobox Wikipedia user. I know that many people do use it in their userpages, but was wondering whether there's a guideline I wasn't aware of against using it? Thank you! aboideau^{sapere aude} 22:13, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

@Aboideau: I do not know of any guideline or policy against Infobox_person on userpages. What makes you ask? I just want to make sure I fully address any concerns. Stay safe, Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 22:27, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply! I just asked because I occasionally come across new users who are using it, and I wondered whether I should just leave it alone in those cases, or whether it was deprecated so as to take precedence over WP:NOBAN. aboideau^{sapere aude} 22:38, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

@Aboideau: no problem. In those cases, if the userpage has no problems, leave it be. As a general note, Cloudkitty has been indef'd. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 22:53, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Great, thanks. I was thinking that that situation was probably going to head in that direction. Have a good day, aboideau^{sapere aude} 16:51, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

unblocked request

Dear Rotideypoc41352, I am a novice at wikipedia. I have apologized on my talk page after your comment. I know that unbiased and well referenced articles are the best. I have published several entries and posts on wiki without any problems. Gutierrez' is considered a great pianist was removed which I found offensive since it was well referenced since 2006 and he is Hispanic. I was a bit shocked. There are so many classical artists with great in their posts that are not referenced and not removed by the same editors. And, I don't mean Horowitz or Rubenstein. I felt the editors that removed the term may be biased and be colleagues, critics, or ? I inquired and was immediately blocked for inquiring. I didn't mean for it to sound accusatory manner. But, questioning. I realise this may have been wrong of me to post and inquire. I am learning and willing to learn from you and others from the community. My sincere and heartfelt apologies to you and the wiki community. I appreciate your help. Maryphillips1952 (talk) 19:00, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Admin has blocked and revoked talk page access for the above user, but I will respond for archival purposes.

Apologies and other expressions of remorse aren't necessary, but basic courtesy and a willingness to move forward productively are.
— Wikipedia:Standard offer#How does it work?

You misunderstand. Admin did not block you for inquiring. They blocked you to protect the project's integrity. Hidden conflicts of interest threaten that. Openly disclosed ones don't.

From what I can see, the removal and subsequent discussions upset you, and you became defensive. We're all human, and we all make mistakes. Take the next six months to take care of yourself. Wikipedia's not going anywhere anytime soon. Open your mind and approach our COI policies with curiosity. When you're ready to return after six months, disclose your COI, stick to Gutierrez's talk page and use {{edit request}}, and respect consensus. Pick your battles and the hills you're willing to die on.

I hope my response has helped you see where you might've misunderstood the reasons for your block. Please don't email me; thanks in advanced. If you understand our policies, I'm sure the unblock ticket request system will be more than happy to hear from you in 2021. Stay safe, Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 23:20, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Help to translate

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_Aster

This open source software has a great potential among scientific communities which is already realized by the french wikipedians. But it was deleted in english wiki. If interested could you translate? I am claiming not only because I am one of user software, when I did a comparative study with ANSYS and ABAQUS which are commercial software, found code_aster has more potential. If ANSYS and ABAQUS can be in wiki, why not the opensource software.

Heyo, just wanted to thank you for copyediting Viren's article. :D I was also curious if you are finished with the copyediting, as once it's done, I'd like to put it up for peer review to get help with further fixing up the article, and especially trimming the "Biography" section.
