Amalric, King of Jerusalem

[edit]

Hi, you removed the source for Baldwin & Setton 1969, causing multiple ref errors. Are you going to replace the references? It's hard to tell what you're trying to do when you never use edit summaries. If you weren't such a long-standing editor I'd just revert your change as test/incompetence/vandalism. DuncanHill (talk) 10:33, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That is a bit harsh. You must have noticed that I am in the middle of a major expansion of the article. The source was duplicated and I just removed the wrong copy. --Surtsicna (talk) 10:54, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I long ago gave up trying to guess what editors who refuse to use edit summaries may or may not be doing. So will you be fixing the errors you've introduced? You've added another since I posted here. DuncanHill (talk) 10:59, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
DuncanHill, I am trying to cite Baldwin's contribution to the book published jointly by Baldwin and Setton. You are welcome to help out. --Surtsicna (talk) 11:13, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
OK, well to start with sfn refs won't work if you get the forename and surname the wrong way round. I fixed that here. Then, when you removed the "Baldwin & Setton 1969" source you should have changed all the sfns in the text that called it, like this. Lots of editors who use sfn refs make similar errors, it's a horrible system that's almost as obnoxious for the editor as it is for the reader. Using edit summaries helps other editors see what you are trying to do, and that helps them fix mistakes when they do occur. You'll have noticed in my edit summaries I point to User:Trappist the monk/HarvErrors.js which is a useful tool for spotting this kind of error. DuncanHill (talk) 11:23, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, the forename/surname switcheroo. Thank you. I will be sure to note any future difficulties in the edit summaries. --Surtsicna (talk) 11:45, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Reactions to the 2024 pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses

[edit]

Hi Surtsicna, I notcied you rejected the DYK nomination for Reactions to the 2024 pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses, as the article was a split from a parent and therefore considered not new. Having reviewed WP:DYKNEW prior to nomination, it's clear it comes under the criteria of "an article is considered new if, within the last seven days, the article has been created in mainspace from a redlink or redirect", is this context technically from a redirect. Could you point me in the direct of the guidelines where it states that the article must be based on new content, as opposed to simply being a new article, as you describe in the DYK review? Thanks. CNC (talk) 12:06, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, CNC. Please see WP:DYKAIM, which lists "to showcase new and improved content" as the first of the aims of the project. This precedes WP:DYKNEW, and explains what is meant by "new" article in WP:DYKNEW. The article does not feature enough new content to qualify and may never do so, but it may yet qualify as improved if it undergoes a successful GA nomination first. Surtsicna (talk) 15:41, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I get it now, thanks for explaining. I should have read that part too in hindsight, apologies. CNC (talk) 15:44, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Talk: Donald Trump lead sentence discussion

[edit]

Hi Surtsicna,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to reach out about a consensus debate currently happening on Donald Trump’s page, as it mirrors a similar situation we encountered during Joe Biden’s presidency. Four years ago, we agreed on a consensus to keep the lead sentence format, which I believe was both fair and sensible. Specifically, the line for Joe Biden was: "...who has been the 46th and current president of the United States since 2021." Looking back, I see that you were in favor of maintaining this as the status quo. Talk:Joe Biden/Archive 15#RfC: Should we say he is "current" president in the lead, or not?

I believe we should apply this same structure to Donald Trump’s page, just as we did for Joe Biden and Barack Obama before him, to ensure consistency and clarity. This format clearly conveys the order ("47th"), incumbency ("current"), and start date ("since 2025"), which helps maintain uniformity across presidential biographies.

Given your involvement and knowledge of that earlier consensus, your insights would be incredibly valuable in the current discussion. It’s important that we uphold the same standards regardless of the officeholder, and I’d appreciate it if you could weigh in, share your thoughts, and cast a vote. Here is the current discussion and vote underway: Talk:Donald Trump, Superseding consensus #50, sentences 1 and 2

Thanks a lot, and I hope you’ll consider contributing. TimeToFixThis (talk) 11:32, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
