Cultural differences

I get why you made that change to Template:Ethnic Boston sidebar, but I don't get why you only changed the one item. Don't you think there are cultural differences between people in Ireland and Americans whose ancestors emigrated from Ireland in 1840? It seems odd to me to single out African ancestry in this way. --MopTop (talk) 04:31, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

@MopTop: It has to do with the involuntary nature of how the early West Africans came (slavery); the African-American identity had formed in the states (yes there West African influences but it's homegrown). I believe written sources distinguish between "African-American" (usually a native-born descendant of slaves) and (recent) "African immigrant" - Some African Americans accused recent African immigrants of not being "African American" https://books.google.com/books?id=WOC2AgAAQBAJ&pg=PA227 - The 2005 Philadelphia incident: http://web.archive.org/web/20051125103640/http://allafrica.com/stories/200511150422.html - WhisperToMe (talk) 09:04, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Houston area school articles

Hello WhisperToMe,

I'm wondering if edits like this ("home of the...") are something you've seen before. I reverted a number of similar edits to Houston area school articles about a week ago, but whoever it is is back again on a different IP address. Thanks, and Happy New Year! ​—DoRD (talk)​ 01:26, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

@DoRD: Don't know of these particular edits/editors. He/she is referring to the schools' mascots. Perhaps those can be listed at Spring Branch ISD, but IMO this is unnecessary at the Northbrook High School page. BTW Yes Prep does operate a campus at Northbrook High, so I'll restore that. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:43, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Yes, you're right about the Yes Prep edit. As a very long ago graduate of an SBISD school, I recognized the mascots, but since you're a lot more active in this area, I was just wondering if you had noticed a long-term pattern. Thanks ​—DoRD (talk)​ 02:18, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

@DoRD: Yw! I do edit a lot of school articles but my attention had been mainly focused on schools abroad at the moment :) WhisperToMe (talk) 05:07, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Cross-wiki stalking problem

Hello, and nice meeting you today! Could you look into this cross-wiki stalking problem I had experienced? I had been constantly reverted across projects since 2016, which I presumed was done by the same user since the IPs they used are either from the same range or location (like 36.234.0.0/16 and 101.8.0.0/13). Example: [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. Also I believe there are other users from mainland China who were stalked. Thanks :)--Jsjsjs1111 (talk) 08:59, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Letter from Wikimedia User Group Hong Kong

Dear WhisperToMe,

Thank you for your interest in our user group. To obtain the status as a Wikimedia User Group, we have to make a decision on our mission. A member of the user group put forward a motion to amend the provisional missions proposed in March 2017 since i) it is unable to reflect the user group’s actual operation and social situation and ii) it has never been endorsed by a majority of members of the user group. You are welcome to endorse or discuss on this motion on Meta (link.) We look forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,

Spring Roll Conan ( Talk · Contributions ) 15:05, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

The consultation on the proposed amendments to the user group's mission has ended. However, the results can't be confirmed instantly due to errors in my statement. You are welcome to comment on ways to deal with it on our meta page. Regards, --Spring Roll Conan ( Talk · Contributions ) 14:29, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of NIKI

The article NIKI has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Gremlin (company)

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 Draft:Gremlin (company), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations 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 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 deleted 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.

Did you see the top of the "Survey: Ending the system of portals" and "Discussion: Ending the system of portals" sections? [grin] Do you think the page needs (even) more instructions, or more emphasis? - dcljr (talk) 23:37, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Decided to modify that part of the notice to make it stand out more. - dcljr (talk) 23:41, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

@Dcljr: Thank you! It might help to put an attention grabber before the table of contents on Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/RfC: Ending the system of portals (something like "Before contributing, please read the instructions below."). What happened in my case is I didn't see instructions before the TOC and figured "I've been around since 2003 and have been through many discussions, so I have a handle on how it works." WhisperToMe (talk) 23:48, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Makes sense. I just added a very similar box above the TOC, to "force" people to see it (too risky to just link to the instructions, as many users won't bother to follow the link). It's now all a bit redundant, but there's no telling how users come to that page, so I think having slightly redundant instructions in multiple places is better than trying to have one centralized set of instructions... - dcljr (talk) 00:14, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Atrivo

The article Atrivo has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article for the company is based only on a singular event, does not fit notability criteria per WP:CORP.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

In addition to working directly on portals, we are developing tools to make building and maintaining portals easier. We've finished one so far, with more to come.

Discussions are underway about how to upgrade portals, and what the portals of the future will be.

There are plenty of tasks (including WikiGnome tasks too) on the WikiProject page.

With more to come.

We may even surprise ourselves and exceed all expectations. Who knows what we will be able to accomplish in what may become the biggest Wikicollaboration in years.

See ya at the WikiProject!

Speedy deletion nomination of South Texas Dental

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 South Texas Dental requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 deleted 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. DGG ( talk ) 09:25, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

I decided not to place this speedy; I thought at first they were another batch of promotional articles for dentists, but I see that is not the case. I need to think further about the articles on the various chains you have been writing. O'm a little concerned about over-detailed negative information. ( DGG ( talk ) 09:33, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

@DGG: It's a tough situation; ordinarily an article shouldn't be overly negative, but the media reliable source coverage for the likes of All Smiles Dental Centers and Small Smiles Dental Centers (both defunct) were almost universally negative, just like coverage of Bernie Madoff. If the vast majority of RS'es are about accused fraud/etc that's not an attack article.

In the case of South Texas Dental I didn't see as much negative coverage on them; they're just the guys who took over all the All Smiles places when that chain closed.

WhisperToMe (talk) 14:50, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

It also seems to mr that South Texas Dental is not really notability , even in a negative sense. DGG ( talk ) 01:39, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

@DGG: Yeah, I haven't seen a lot of press about it. I just searched Google news and saw that the main press was that South Texas Dental acquired All Smiles back in 2013. Feel free to nominate for AFD if you like WhisperToMe (talk) 02:31, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

might it be better to merge? Usually we merge into the later company, but if the earlier one is the most notable, perhaps that's better? I saw these because I am trying to s=do something about promotional and other dubious entries for dentists, dermatologists, etc. Are you interested in this field, of just accidentallly found these? DGG ( talk ) 05:52, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

@DGG:, it could be possible to do a merge; I think a discussion outlining the two options would be best since the situation is complicated. All Smiles Dental Centers is certainly notable; it was the small company and no longer exists. South Texas Dental existed before All Smiles (there was no rename) and they took over the remaining practices, but they got little press coverage.

There was a wave of large dental companies (national and statewide) which had Medicaid families as customer bases forming circa the mid-2000s, and after then some of the practices were accused of Medicaid fraud by news media and/or by customers; the US government intervened in some of these cases. I read newspaper articles about some of these practices (Small Smiles and All Smiles were the two that generated the most media coverage) and used the articles as the bases of the Wikipedia articles. In fact there's a Congressional report (Alternate link) that talks about how Small Smiles (CSHM) was accused of fraud, and it also discusses ReachOut Healthcare America

One important thing is that I made sure Spanish versions of some articles were started; this is because many of the Medicaid families affected were low income immigrants from Latin America who had poor English comprehension. The boy who was documented in Roberta Baskin's report was a Hispanic boy from Langley Park, Maryland.

Thank you very much

The RfC discussion to eliminate portals was closed May 12, with the statement "There exists a strong consensus against deleting or even deprecating portals at this time." This was made possible because you and others came to the rescue. Thank you for speaking up.

By the way, the current issue of the Signpost features an article with interviews about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

I'd also like to let you know that the Portals WikiProject is working hard to make sure your support of portals was not in vain. Toward that end, we have been working diligently to innovate portals, while building, updating, upgrading, and maintaining them. The project has grown to 80 members so far, and has become a beehive of activity.

Our two main goals at this time are to automate portals (in terms of refreshing, rotating, and selecting content), and to develop a one-page model in order to make obsolete and eliminate most of the 150,000 subpages from the portal namespace by migrating their functions to the portal base pages, using technologies such as selective transclusion. Please feel free to join in on any of the many threads of development at the WikiProject's talk page, or just stop by to see how we are doing. If you have any questions about portals or portal development, that is the best place to ask them.

If you would like to keep abreast of developments on portals, keep in mind that the project's members receive updates on their talk pages. The updates are also posted here, for your convenience.

Again, we can't thank you enough for your support of portals, and we hope to make you proud of your decision. Sincerely,    — The Transhumanist   10:21, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Wiki ES and WikiProject Houston

Hi WhisperToMe:

• IIRC, a few years ago you had sent a message asking about contributions to Wiki: ES. (My attempt to archive my talk page is a big fail: the bot removed the old content, but there is no archive.) Lately I have been reading SP and FR wikis, and my competency for those languages is picking up, though much of it really depends on the subject. I have been able to read some of the Spanish-language sources enough to edit the EN articles, and I have even made a few light edits of a few SP articles related to Mexico. One of the main challenges is finding reliable and stable sources of Mexican-related content over the Internet, which hinders the development of those articles.

• You are listed at WikiProject Houston. Do you know if this project is active? Most of the editors listed there are no longer active on Wikipedia, and I cannot see that there any project-functions being executed since about 3-4 years ago, for example, page assessment, coordination of page improvement, and articles requested. I have made attempts to engage the group, and these have been roundly ignored. OTOH, some of the editors listed at the project page are very strong. Do you have any insight?

Thanks, Oldsanfelipe (talk) 15:18, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

@Oldsanfelipe: Nice to reach out!

1. As for WikiProject Houston I and User:RJN may be the only active editors left. As Wikipedia matured there are fewer long term editors...

* One thing that IMO would really help are Spanish-language articles on the METRORail stops.

2. I wonder how many Mexican libraries or newspapers have their microfilms open. Getting access to microfilm content could be a way of getting around this issue...

WhisperToMe (talk) 04:00, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: Happy Canada Day!

Many of the editors with the oldest identities at WikiProject Houston never made many edits, unless they were maintaining multiple accounts. I think much of the activity there prior to 2008 involved engagement of the local experts writing unsourced material (even if it was often true). Do you know who organized it and if they are still on WP?

I have made one sad little edit on the Monterrey transit system. Here is the diff: [7]. All I did is find a new source and instantiate a new number for buses in their fleet. By reading these SP wiki articles, I am acquiring the vocabulary for writing about transit. Metrorrey, the Spanish name for the system in Monterrey, is amidst scrutiny from the local press about where the money has gone and for what. Local officials had announced that a third fixed-guideway line, a mostly elevated line would be operational. This article [8] explains that 600 million pesos have been appropriated this year for Linea 3 for building stations and elevated track. Metrorrey has not even taken bids for the new railcars [9], which are not interchangeable with the other two lines. There is still a Nuevo Leon web page up [10] claiming a completion date of August 2015. Such is the problem with researching some of these article.

One of the questions I have about writing articles for rail stations is about citation standards. I could raise the same question about descriptions of highways. See Houston#Roadways, second paragraph. I see unsourced write-ups describing freeways, but I don't see that content being tagged. The unsourced articles describing transit stations are all tagged. For example, see Northline Transit Center. Cheers, Oldsanfelipe (talk) 11:30, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

@Oldsanfelipe: 1. It was started on November 7, 2006. User:Postoak seems to have created it. His last edit so far as in February of this year

2. Yeah, much of the issues often have to deal with conflicting sources. That's why I use {{Asof|}} to show that facts and figures were stated as of that date, and or using the wording "... is/was scheduled to..."

3. I haven't worked on rail projects that much, but for general subjects the main question is "is it likely to be challenged?" - If you think someone may dispute the figure or may really want a source for the info, it's better to cite it. In reality I believe about 90% of what I contribute has a citation.

WhisperToMe (talk) 11:59, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: 1. I had listed my name at WikiProject Houston about three or four years ago, when the group still seemed to be active. I removed my identity from the list after not being contacted for an extended period of time. I made a few other postings to the project page with no response. Now I realize that other WikiProjects are the same way: they do not contact the newbies. This is something I should bring up to the WikiProjects. It's not a project without collaboration, and people who are not able to collaborate with other in the group are not effectively a part of the project. That's a problem because these are missed opportunities: collaboration can create synergies.

2. Yes, I agree.

3. You have been around much longer, but I am just now starting to appreciate various interpretations of verifiability and citing sources. I edit mostly historical articles, so, aside from the lede, I only write when I provide or re-purpose a citation. Every statement is backed up with a source, though I do not provide a unique citation for every statement. For a paragraph with statements a,b,c,d,e and inline citation C1, I will typically write a,b,c,d,eC1, where C1 supports all five statements, sometimes expressed as a small page range from a book. If I add to a paragraph, I might click through a citation in a paragraph with a,b,d,eC1, find support for new material, then I add c resulting in paragraph a,b,c,d,eC1. If I write statement c, which fits the middle of the narrative of the paragraph, but not supported by C1, I amend the paragraph to a,bC1,cC2,d,eC1. Often I have seen editors (and too often at Houston in the past) amend a paragraph a,b,d,eC1 without a new citation and without support from the existing citation to a,b,c,d,eC1. This creates a deception, even if unintentional, that c is supported by C1. I now revert edits like this if I cannot find support from the source referred to by the citation. None of this addresses the interpretation of you and many other experienced editors who cite verifiability in principle rather than verifiability in fact. I fall hard on the verifiability in fact because it's required for the content I typically write. Anything historical can be challenged. I am experiencing cognitive dissonance based on transportation articles, where perhaps some descriptions of the infrastructure are obvious. Cheers, Oldsanfelipe (talk) 13:31, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

@Oldsanfelipe: I agree that new editors need to be auto-greeted/notified. Perhaps it's something to bring up to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council?

Yep, 3. is one of the greatest issues with Wikipedia. A lot of people don't understand that they need a new ref, and the editing system doesn't tell them this! In my experience that stuff is unintentional. "Anything historical can be challenged." is definitely true; when I write history articles I cite just about everything.

WhisperToMe (talk) 14:23, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

WhisperToMe: Do you agree that WikiProjects Houston is inactive or semi-active? Do you agree that Houston-related articles would benefit if WikiProjects Houston were more active? Is that something you are willing to organize? If not, do you think PostOak would come back, or is there another experienced editor who would do a good job? I would like to learn a bit more about the history before I approach the WikiProject Council. Cheers, Oldsanfelipe (talk) 16:03, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

@Oldsanfelipe: I would say between "inactive" and "semi-active". The collaboration part is inactive, but the principals are still editing Houston-related articles on Wikipedia. I'd have to talk to Postoak and see what kinds of goals we'd have. I think a lot of the efforts were on building the content of Houston-related articles. I suppose doing post-Harvey updates could be a new collaboration idea. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:10, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick response. Post-Harvey is a great idea. You and some other editors are capable of writing a good article even without help. I am thinking about building editing capacity. There are many Houston-related articles which could use improvement. Are there less experienced editors who can be a part of that process by improving their skills? I include myself in this later category, though I am moving toward competence. The assessment system could be a tool for improving Houston-related articles and the skills of people who are interested in Houston-related content. Just collaborating on proofreading and copy editing would be helpful to many editors. Again, I am one who would benefit from the help. But I also think I could help with assessments. Certainly people find ways to collaborate in a more organic way: that's generally how Wikipedia works. But making the project active might multiply the number of collaborations on Houston-related content. Oldsanfelipe (talk) 16:48, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

@Oldsanfelipe: Good question! I'd have to check recent changes in Houston-related articles to see if there are new editors who are interested in improving content. Holding some in-person edit-a-thons could be a useful tool to recruit editors; I am currently in Shenzhen, China, and I help Wikimedia Hong Kong User Group with their new editor tutorials. I'll be in Houston in August of this year and if it's something feasible I could help with one in Houston (until August 26, when I fly back to China). WhisperToMe (talk) 16:59, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:17, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi, dearest WhisperToMe, how are you? Here there's tooooo hot!

I put a new reference in this page, and I ask only to read it, please, because I want it is put in correct form, and not to seem racist, because I'm not!!!!

Thanks a lot for your great help!!!

Rei Momo (talk) 06:45, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

@Rei Momo: Thanks for the tip! In this case it's fine to call him black as the Brazilian and Spanish newspapers do so. In the United States "colored" comes across as being a very old-fashioned way of referring to black people (although "people of color" is still used to collectively refer to all people who are not non-Hispanic/Latino White people). The word "colored" still appears in the names of some older organizations such as the NAACP. In South Africa "Coloured" refers to people from mixed racial backgrounds, a different racial category from pure black. WhisperToMe (talk) 12:36, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

Articles in Draft space

Hello,

I am active on Romanian Wikipedia and on Commons, but I don't know well the particular guidelines of English Wikipedia.
Romanian Wikipedia has started a project to translate some articles into English, a project addressed to university students. They have chosen one of our proposed topics, which we know how an article should be on Wikipedia. Although I explained how to post the translated article, in both cases that have been posted so far, these articles have reached the draft namespace, like this. Is it a common fact for a new user first article? What should be done to prevent this from happening?

Another question is if I have the right to move this article to the articles namespace, with the title Siege of Temeşvar (1716). I read the Wikipedia:Drafts guideline, but there is talk about moving articles to the "Draft"" namespace, or I want the other way around. You can tell me what to do? Thanks. --Turbojet (talk) 05:10, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

@Turbojet: Hi! It's just fine for them to use the draft space! When the article's ready it can be moved to the mainspace. As for moving articles, you have the right to move an article from the draft space to the mainspace if/when it's finished/has all of the notability issues worked out. My understanding is that some people choose to move an article from the main space to the draft space if they realize it's not finished and want to work on it some more, but that should only be done if the person moving it/working on it was the only person to have edited the article. WhisperToMe (talk) 05:16, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

I will move the article, it is finished and the person who posted it still does not know how to use Wikipedia. I understand that the article arrived in the Draft namespace without his will, that's the problem. Thank you very much. --Turbojet (talk) 05:24, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

Letter from Wikimedia User Group Hong Kong

Dear WhisperToMe,

Thank you for your interest in our user group. We have started the process to request for recognition of the WMF. However, the Affiliations Committee consider that our name is not following their guidelines and ask for renaming. A member of the user group put forward a motion to choose a new name for the group with three options provided. You are welcome to endorse or discuss this motion on Meta (link.) We look forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,

Renaming of Wikimedia User Group Hong Kong

Dear WhisperToMe/Archive 28 :

You are receiving this email as you have signed up as an interested member of the Wikimedia User Group Hong Kong, and is active at the English Wikipedia.

This message is sent on behalf of group Liasons of the User Group.

As the mission of the group has been successfully amended, and Liasons elected, the Liasons to affcom have now sent an email to Affcom seeking recognition. However, during the process (which is delayed by the hosting of Wikimania), we have been requested by them Affcom to amend the name of the usergroup (which subsequently mean a change of text of logo as well) as our name did not meet their guidelines.

To resolve this problem, one of the liasons, 1233, has started a discussion on the group's meta talk page(meta) to amend the name of the User Group according to the email received about the recognition of the group. We would hope for more input so as to obtain consensus on this matter and resolve this situation. The discussion will end at 00:00, 1 September (HKT, UTC+8).

In order to speed up the process, we would assume you having no preference if no reply is received on meta.

Many thanks,
1233 (on behalf of the Liasons)

Moving templates

Hi, in April you moved the page Template:General Growth Properties to Template:GGP Inc., but you left behind two sub-pages (/doc and /sandbox).

The template has been moved again to Template:Brookfield Properties Retail Group. If you try the Move option, you will see that the options include

• Move associated talk page
• Leave a redirect behind
• Move subpages (up to 100)
• Watch source page and target page

The first two are ticked by default, but the other two are not. When moving a template like this, you should normally tick the option to move the subpages. Note that the Move page lists any subpages that would be moved if you do tick that option.

I hope this is helpful. Best wishes – Fayenatic London 09:32, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi, dearest WhisperToMe, how are you? Me fine...

Look, I opened this new page, and I ask an important help to you, because I'm not able to change it.

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:WikiProject Côte d'Ivoire

A tag has been placed on Template:WikiProject Côte d'Ivoire requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is an unused duplicate of another template, or a hard-coded instance of another template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>).

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 deleted 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.

Proposed deletion of Kusoge

The article Kusoge has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:DICDEF.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

File:Bread (1986 film).png

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:11, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

St Olave's Grammar School:Push-pin map

In this case I don't find the map selection helpful. It would be marginally less disruptive if the Greater London Map was the default. The map is over prominent- and barely relates to the article. Olaves has limited contact with LBB- but sees itself as a London institution, the UK map is superfluous for London. The amount of map selection text is huge in comparison with the essential items in the Infobox. Maybe the insert map template could be rewritten within hide brackets or the mapsize reduced to 40%. --ClemRutter (talk) 09:26, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

My argument is that, since Simp is not used in HK, there really is no reason to add it to pages that are purely HK-specific pages, just like I would argue there was no reason for adding Trad to pages that were about China-specific topics (it's a bit different for things that predate the invention of Simp, for obvious reasons). I feel it's misleading by adding it to the page since it's not an accepted usage, or one that people can expect to encounter, in that context. Wikipedia not being a dictionary, it doesn't seem to me to be relevant. I checked the Chinese Naming Conventions page and discussion, and it seems that there isn't any clear guideline on this as yet, so I'd be keen to hear if you have a different take on it. --Kdm852 (talk) 07:51, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

• @Kdm852: Thanks for the response! I agree it would be a good idea to open a line of inquiry about it. One concern of mine is that many non-Chinese confuse the Trad and Simp characters, so even though Wikipedia isn't a dictionary, I still think it's good for clarification purposes. Secondly, while HK locals dont use Traditional characters (the only times I've seen them on the MTR was on the East Rail Line to the border) Mainlanders do sometimes use Trad characters to make a location or place seem fancy (like using cursive in English). Anyhow I'm happy to open a discussion on this issue! WhisperToMe (talk) 10:47, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Change to CLCS

I saw that you created the Clear Lake Christian School Wikipedia page. We have since undergone a name change. Are you able to update the name on that page to Grace Christian Academy? It appears I can edit everything except the name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.95.226.142 (talk) 14:08, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

State Correctional Institution – Waynesburg

Houston & Harris county NRHP list-articles

Hi, I saw your note at User:RJN's talk page about possibly re-starting a Houston WikiProject, and mentioning User:Oldsanfelipe (pinging by this note). By the way IMHO from watching city-level wikiprojects elsewhere, I would hope you might try to enliven WikiProject Texas instead, and discuss Houston stuff all you like there. But good luck either way.

Hey y'all might be interested in contributing to discussion at Talk:National Register of Historic Places listings in Harris County, Texas#Split about how to divide Houston and Harris County for purposes of NRHP lists. Seem to be at a consensus for having four lists; local views on article naming or any last-minute changes would be welcomed. --Doncram (talk) 21:05, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice! I went and left comments. As per the Houston WikiProject, at this stage I wouldn't mind if it was integrated into WP Texas as a task force of some kind. Nowadays there's a lot less traffic in regards to these regional projects. @Doncram: WhisperToMe (talk) 23:22, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

@Doncram: Thanks for the note. User:WhisperToMe has said that he wants to do meetups, but I have no plans to participate in those. I personally would not find those helpful, though I am sure many other editors would. Independent of the merits of meetups, where I see the possibility of generating interest in the WikiProjects and for improving the work is through the assessment process. Doncram and WhisperToMe, what do y'all think of that idea? Oldsanfelipe (talk) 09:40, 20 October 2018 (UTC)

@Oldsanfelipe: While assessment is important I think it's something to be done after people are engaged in a WikiProject. Most people reading Wikipedia don't read the talk pages, and therefore don't read the assessments. IMO the best way to grow a WikiProject is to make WikiProjects more visible to newbies. Sadly I feel our hands are tied with that as Wikipedia-referencing is limited in the article spaces themselves. WhisperToMe (talk) 17:29, 20 October 2018 (UTC)

User:WhisperToMe, Thanks for engaging me in this discussion. I am sure that you know much about the workings of the WikiProjects that I cannot imagine. However, I think you are overweighting the goal of recruiting new editors. Sometimes the answer is both and all of the above. I have two analogies that are somewhat dissimilar to the WikiProject situation, but similar enough in certain aspects to be helpful as explanations. One is voter registration versus get out the vote. Obviously, you can only vote if you are registered, so voter registration drives are necessary. Yet you cannot ignore registered voters just because they have voted in the past, therefore, there are get out the vote campaigns. You need to register voters, but you need to serve people who have already voted. The second analogy is a poorly frequented restaurant. Advertising for new business is probably necessary, but ultimately fruitless without giving good service. You cannot wait for new business to provide good service. You must serve current customers. WikiProject Houston has some active editors who have signed up for the project, but not (as far as I can tell) receiving any support from the project. There are other editors, who like me, are creating and editing articles under the scope of the project, but without project support. You cannot assume that because people have voted before that they will vote in the next election. A few customers in a restaurant cannot sustain you, but you still need to take their orders. They could also turn out to be people who will refer new clientele. Finding new editors will not help if the project page is three years out of date and nobody is monitoring the project's talk page, for example. I signed up for the project three or four years ago and requested assessments. After never receiving a response from the project, I removed my name from the list. Am I the only editor to give up on the project after being ignored? Oldsanfelipe (talk) 09:06, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

@Oldsanfelipe: Despite being here for a long time I've never done assessments. I've focused solely on article creation.

I think much of what's happened is that a lot of the previous WikiProject Houston posters have gotten busy, grown up, and gotten new jobs/marriages to worry about. There just aren't a ton of people watching the talk page. If you're referring to this Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Houston#Assessing_articles - I don't think there is/was one. You just find one of the contacts and ask him/her to help you. I probably should have paid more attention to the project page, but I got busy with other stuff. If you want, show me some articles you want me to assess and I can have a stab at it.

WhisperToMe (talk) 09:56, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

WhisperToMe My point is not: I cannot get my pages assessed, therefore I will be satisfied if my pages are assessed. My point is that page assessment is one of several important WikiProject functions, and one I was offering to help with. I also imagined, based on the number of requests for assessments across all projects, that there is demand for such an initiative. On another note, it would be difficult to reactivate the project without some kind of cooperation and counsel from the previous administrators of the project. This does not appear to be forthcoming. I just tagged the page as inactive. It's overdue. Oldsanfelipe (talk) 10:50, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

@Oldsanfelipe: Thanks for doing that! I honestly don't know who the assessors of pages were. I may as well seek to have it folded into the WikiProject Texas/US family of WikiProjects. WhisperToMe (talk) 11:00, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

WhisperToMe, I wouldn't need to consult with the previous page assessors. I can assess pages stub through b-class. That's the easy part. I would expect that anyone reviving the project would take advice from the editors who created and edited the templates. Also, they would want to pick their brains about general matters. It's smart to try to access institutional memory. But it appears that nobody wants to step into those roles. It sounds like you want to make it into a task force of WikiProject Texas. I guess that will happen. Oldsanfelipe (talk) 11:46, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

@Oldsanfelipe: I'd like to get the institutional memory and advice of the old timers too, but a lot just seem to have moved on. User:Postoak (who seems to be the guy who started this project) blanked his userpage last February. If you'd like I could try e-mailing some of them just in a last-ditch attempt to see if they're up for reviving it as a standalone project. Remember though that making this a task force means it's still going on, just with less administrative load. Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Guide/Task_forces#Converting_existing_projects_to_task_forces talks about the process of converting a project into a task force. BTW I found User:Brianreading is still active so I reached out to him. WhisperToMe (talk) 13:24, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

I responded on my talk page. I think we should reactivate the project. We still have many long-term editors that can help, including yourself. Postoak (talk) 16:52, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

Great! @Oldsanfelipe: Postoak's (the creator) interested in reviving the project, so I'm holding off for now. WhisperToMe (talk) 22:50, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

Good. I would like to see this work. Oldsanfelipe (talk) 23:11, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

Choice Hotels article improvements

Hello, WhisperToMe! I've been working with Choice Hotels to propose improvements for the company's Wikipedia article. I've saved a draft article here and, as always, disclosed my conflict of interest on the article's talk page (Talk:Choice Hotels). You helped me with the Hilton Worldwide article before, and since no one has responded to my first edit request or note at WikiProject Hotels, I thought I'd reach out to you directly to see if you'd be willing to assist.

For my first request, I'm suggesting a sourced "Founding and early history" section to replace the current section, which has no sources whatsoever. I'd like to think this is a pretty straightforward improvement, but I don't edit articles directly because of my COI, so I was wondering if you'd be willing to review and update the article on my behalf. If you're busy or not interested, that's fine. Please let me know if you have any questions. Inkian Jason (talk) 18:46, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your assistance. I've posted a request for the next section, if you're available to review. Inkian Jason (talk) 16:40, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi again! Regardless of whether or not you're interested in reviewing the proposed content for the next section, would you mind revisiting Talk:Choice_Hotels#"Growth_and_expansion" when you have a moment? I'd appreciate your feedback on the "where?" tag (hopefully you received my email with article text) and adding the "Grant18" citation to the live article. Thank you! Inkian Jason (talk) 17:55, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

I updated my comment above. I found another editor to assist with the "Grant18" citation. The "where?" tag remains, and I've posted another request here for the "Recent history" section. Thanks! Inkian Jason (talk) 19:11, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for this edit to the draft infobox. If you're available, I'm hoping you or Chetsford may be able to review Talk:Choice_Hotels#"Recent_history" and/or copy over the proposed infobox and introduction to the live article. Thanks again! Inkian Jason (talk) 19:45, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Sorry, striking out part of a comment left while you were updating the article. I've outlined the remaining requests at the bottom of the talk page (addition of "Recent history" / removal of "Headquarters relocation", replacing "Loyalty program" with the proposed "See also" section", and a suggested category change and image addition). Thanks again for all your help! Inkian Jason (talk) 20:11, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Infobox school cleanup discussion enquiry

Hi WhisperToMe, hope you're well and not sure if you remember me, but I'm sure you'll remember me from the TfD Infobox UK school merger discussion that we had a while back. The merger was a success which I'm sure you'll have noticed. During the merge discussion process, we produced an "after-merge ideas" section (now renamed to "Infobox cleanup" after revamping the entire section) on the Infobox school talk page with improvements to the infobox, such as merging and removing parameters. This is basically a full cleanup of the infobox and I was wondering if you'd be interested in joining in the discussion? There's already parameters listed which you'll just need to comment on if you agree or not to help build consensus and if there's anything you have you can just add to the relevant subsection. There will be a bot run once the discussion has finished that will go through all the transclusions. If you don't want to, that's ok and please let me know, thank you Steven (Editor) (talk) 20:52, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

About Preston Public School - there are many Prestons and many Public Schools...

Hi WhisperToMe,
I'm puzzled why you moved Preston School District (Oklahoma) to the article of that name.
There are many Prestons and many Public Schools
Quite frankly I think this picture on the prestonps website looks dodgy as all fuck.
You thoughts about this? Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 11:11, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

• @Shirt58: Thanks for the heads up! While there are many Preston's and many public schools, I dont know of any others with the specific name "Preston Public School" (usually in the US the name is such and such "Elementary School"). Also I created the article at "Preston Public School" and created he later as s redirect. Anyhow I will check with the Oklahoma Department of Education to see if that's truly the official site.

Consider drafting

Hi, in light of [[Winfield High School (Kansas) and my nominating it for deletion I think you should probably consider drawing up a draft with refs before you publish to avoid this happening again. Thanks SSSB (talk) 18:49, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

• @SSSB:. Thank you for the suggestion! For many other subjects (especially one where I am not certain whether notability is possible - for-profit companies come to mind) I would. However in other cases, in which I feel notability is all but certain, I feel it is not necessary to do this. In my years of editing I have understood American comprehensive high schools are always notable and proof of existence is all that is needed for an article, regardless of de jure policies/guidelines (because the existence of the actual secondary sources to back them up is implied). It is best to only nominate for deletion if one feels the topic is not salvegeable at all. (for very small rural school districts it may be possible to consolidate the article, not because the school is not notable, but because the school and the school district are effectively the same thing)
• One of the risks of unnecessarily nominating for deletion (though preferable to speedy deletions) is putting a user through doing more work than he/she could tolerate. As an experienced editor it's not as difficult for me, but for a 58-year old blue collar worker in Middle America this could make him quit Wikipedia in disgust. It is true that a lot of people are not educated on Wikimedia matters and what's acceptable, but when they see other comprehensive high schools in other parts of the US they understand that theirs should be there too.

Cantonese jyutping and Mandarin pinyin

Hello, I noticed a number of your edits in Hong Kong-related articles, and most of them involve adding the Mandarin pinyin and the Simplified Chinese name to the templates. It has come to my question if whether such is really necessary; not all subjects are expressed in simplified Chinese and Mandarin in Hong Kong, such as Wah Yan College, Kowloon and HKDSE. I wonder if there are any reasons why you have been adding it to various HK-related articles? Cheers. –Wefk423 (talk) 17:17, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

@Wefk423: Thanks for the notice! There had been a discussion on the matter of adding Simplified Chinese to Hong Kong articles at Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/China_and_Chinese-related_articles#Should_the_Chinese_infobox_display_both_Simplified_and_Traditional_Chinese_for_all_Greater_China_and/or_Sinosphere-related_subjects,_or_should_it_only_display_the_relevant_ones_per_territory/area? and the consensus was to include both Traditional and Simplified forms for all articles in the Chinese-speaking world. Among the justifications for this is that foreign readers tend to only learn Simplified Chinese, so such details are appreciated even in articles about places where the main writing variety is traditional Chinese.

In regards to Mandarin, it is becoming increasingly commonplace in Hong Kong since 1997 and the HK government is pursuing the "trilingual" aspect (meaning Hong Kongers are to learn Mandarin as a second language) of its education program. In addition foreign students of Chinese varieties tend to know Mandarin rather than Cantonese, especially nowadays. Based on this detail, Hong Kong-related articles, especially those related to post-1997 HK and the handover, should display Mandarin in the Chinese infobox, while making it clear Cantonese is the main variety.

In any event it is important to also show Cantonese for places in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Zhuhai, etc. on the Mainland side.

WhisperToMe (talk) 17:26, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick reply and the explanation. Well, as a local, I can say Mandarin is indeed getting its popularity in Hong Kong, but not simplified Chinese. If I had noticed the discussion, I have to say I would be opposing to such idea. But anyways, the consensus is what matters. Good luck with the editings. Cheers. –Wefk423 (talk) 17:38, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

You're welcome! On that note I make sure articles about the Mainland also have Traditional Chinese versions noted down (as well as Malaysia/Singapore articles). The only place in HK that I see Simplified Chinese is on signage in and on the East Rail Line (because that line carries people from Shenzhen, where I live, into Hong Kong).

ArbCom 2019 special circular

Administrators must secure their accounts The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised. Use strong, unique passwords for your Wikipedia account and associated email Change your password now if your Wikipedia account password or email password is reused on another website, exposed, or weak Enable two-factor authentication now for improved security

View additional information

Why have I received this message? All administrators are receiving it. What prompted you to send this message? Recently, several Wikipedia admin accounts were compromised. The admin accounts were desysopped on an emergency basis. In the past, the Committee often resysopped admin accounts as a matter of course once the admin was back in control of their account. The committee has updated its guidelines. Admins may now be required to undergo a fresh Request for Adminship (RfA) after losing control of their account. What do I need to do? Only to follow the instructions in this message. Check that your password is unique (not reused across sites). Check that your password is strong (not simple or guessable). Enable Two-factor authentication (2FA), if you can, to create a second hurdle for attackers. How can I find out more about two-factor authentication (2FA)? You can find out more about 2FA at m:2FA.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:45, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)

ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.

Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.

We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.

For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

District navboxes

I'm not sure about the new navboxes. I think they could be useful, but there are a few issues:

• There are probably too many articles for the navboxes to be manageable. I notice {{Tuen Mun District}} omits 39 of the 43 Light Rail stops – does the navbox have inclusion criteria other than "in the district"?
• The district boundaries can and do change between District Council elections – for example, Victoria Park and most of Tin Hau were transferred from Eastern District to Wan Chai District for the 2015 election.
• The district boundaries do not necessarily reflect geographical or social reality, and it might be better to create navboxes focused on localities instead. Jc86035 (talk) 11:52, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

@Jc86035: Thanks for the notice!

However my idea is that for much of Hong Kong Island and/or Kowloon the "district navboxes" should only include localities and possibly a list of secondary schools in the region, as many areas are so "dense" with Wikipedia-notable sites that they would be too big if you tried to include everything. I am aware that not all the light rail stops in Yuen Long District are there yet, but I didn't have a chance to add them yet.

2. Oh... I wasn't aware of district boundaries changes like that. I saw that the last new district formed was circa 1994 so I assumed the last change was at that point.

3. For reasons above I am very much interested in making navboxes on denser localities - like Central, Wan Chai, (especially those two!) I wished to use district-based navboxes mainly in less dense areas such as in the New Territories.

Navboxes

Hello! Thanks for adding geography navigation templates to various articles. However, navigation templates should only be added when the article appears within, so for example, Rich's Houston should be mentioned in the Midtown template, and ideally the article's prose would confirm the venue is located in Midtown. Does this make sense? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:02, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

@Another Believer: Thanks for the feedback! In Midtown, Houston I'll add the venue to a section in the article, and in the venue article I'll cite the street address and a map of Midtown. Anyway some nav boxes are comprehensive, so sometimes items may be listed in a particular daughter article and not necessarily the main article (this doesn't apply to Rich's and Midtown, though).

Hermann Park

Thanks for your feedback on Houston neighborhoods and boundaries. I was just trying to organize some of the Houston sites I've seen by neighborhood, but I've abandoned my effort since the neighborhoods are not strictly defined... too confusing around Montrose, Museum District, etc. Oh well! In other news, I consider Hermann Park one of the city's jewels, and I'm hoping to make some improvements to the Wikipedia article. I also want to create some new stubs for features, such as the Japanese Garden, railroad, etc. If you're interested to help out, you're more than welcome! Happy editing, ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:09, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

@Another Believer: The good news is that I already made navigation templates for the Museum District and Montrose (as Neartown). If you want to write categories, just add everything I've put in the navigation templates. When there is no single set of boundaries at all, I check which sites the Houston Chronicle consistently says are in the "Museum District" and categorize those as in the Museum District (after all a reliable source is defining something as being in the Museum District). When there are multiple agencies with different boundaries, include stuff in both and/or explain what is in what boundary. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:18, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

@Another Believer: Started cats for Category:Midtown, Houston (as the management district and super neighborhood boundaries mostly coincide), Category:Houston Heights (there are multiple maps of the Houston Heights proper, which doesn't exactly align with SN 15 Greater Heights), Category:Neartown Houston (Neartown/Montrose super neighborhood mostly coincides with Neartown Association (2008/2018 Neartown association map is slightly different) ), and Category:East End, Houston (management district map, coincides with multiple super neighborhoods).

Transclude lead excerpt

Hello. I see you've added a tip to Template:Transclude lead excerpt/doc. Have you found a problem when extracting the entire lead using {{Transclude lead excerpt}}? It runs the same module code as {{Transclude random excerpt}}; the two template names are just for ease of use. Both templates pick one article from the given list at random; the only difference is that in the first case the user supplies a list with only one item to choose from! Certes (talk) 00:18, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

@Certes: Hi! I added "Transclude random excerpt" because I was told to use that for transcribing the lead regardless of size, and because I was previously unaware of that template and felt it would be good for casual readers of Template:Transclude lead excerpt/doc to be aware of its existence. If they both use the same code anyway I agree that should be clarified in the documentation. WhisperToMe (talk) 00:29, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Done, thanks. "Transclude random excerpt" will also do the job but it might confuse someone who notices that it doesn't behave randomly in this case and wonders why you might have wanted it to. Certes (talk) 00:51, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

misuse of |publisher= parameter in citation templates

If you are still writing cs1|2 templates like this from Klein Forest High School (this edit):

{{cite web|author=Blanchard, Sarah|url=http://www.chron.com/neighborhood/spring/news/article/Rezoning-plans-continue-for-Klein-ISD-6700334.php|title=Rezoning plans continue for Klein ISD|publisher=''[[The Spring Observer]]'' at the ''[[Houston Chronicle]]''|date=2015-12-15|accessdate=2017-04-18}}

Blanchard, Sarah (2015-12-15). "Rezoning plans continue for Klein ISD". The Spring Observer at the Houston Chronicle. Retrieved 2017-04-18. {{cite web}}: Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= (help)

and like this from Lord of Formosa (this edit):

{{cite web|author=Yip, Hilton<!--Not identified in the SCMP re-post but in the original at the Asian Review of Books-->|url=https://www.scmp.com/culture/books/article/2151231/how-ming-dynasty-pirate-took-taiwan-dutch-joyce-bergvelts-novel-lord|title=How Ming dynasty pirate took Taiwan from the Dutch in Joyce Bergvelt’s novel Lord of Formosa: review|publisher=''[[Asian Review of Books]]'' at the ''[[South China Morning Post]]''|date=2018-06-18|accessdate=2018-11-24}}

Yip, Hilton (2018-06-18). "How Ming dynasty pirate took Taiwan from the Dutch in Joyce Bergvelt's novel Lord of Formosa: review". Asian Review of Books at the South China Morning Post. Retrieved 2018-11-24. {{cite web}}: Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= (help)

and like this from Leflore County School District (this edit):

{{cite web|url=https://eu.clarionledger.com/story/news/2017/11/19/state-appointed-leader-mississippis-worst-rated-school-district-resigns/879077001/|title=State-appointed leader of Mississippi’s worst-rated school district resigns |publisher=''[[Associated Press]]'' at the ''[[Clarion Ledger]]''|date=2017-11-19|accessdate=2018-09-17}}

"State-appointed leader of Mississippi's worst-rated school district resigns". Associated Press at the Clarion Ledger. 2017-11-19. Retrieved 2018-09-17. {{cite web}}: Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= (help)

then please stop.

In the first example, it isn't clear to me what The Spring Observer is but it appears to be a division of, or a department of , or perhaps a subsumed competitor of Houston Chronicle. In the second, there is a website with the name 'Asian Review of Books' but that string of text does not appear in the review at the South China Morning Post. In the last example, as a news agency, 'Associated Press' belongs in |agency=.

A few more points:

• all of the example citations are news sources so {{cite news}} is to be preferred over {{cite web}}
• all cs1|2 templates produce metadata. The documentation for all of these templates has this:

  Do not include Wiki markup '' (italic font) or ''' (bold font) because these markup characters will contaminate the metadata. (see for example documentation at {{cite web}})

• similarly, |publisher= in all of the examples includes the extraneous text ' at the '
• Houston Chronicle, South China Morning Post, and Clarion Ledger are all newspapers so |newspaper= is appropriate whereas |publisher= – as an apparent stand-in – is not (metadata standard does not support the concept of 'publisher' in periodical-type metadata even though cs1|2 will display it)

I have learned that you are not the only editor to use this improper formatting but you do appear to be the editor who is the most prolific.

At the next update to the Module:Citation/CS1 suite, citations like the above will produce error messages like this:

"State-appointed leader of Mississippi's worst-rated school district resigns". Associated Press at the Clarion Ledger. 2017-11-19. Retrieved 2018-09-17. {{cite web}}: Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= (help)

The fix for that is to rewrite the template:

{{cite news|url=https://eu.clarionledger.com/story/news/2017/11/19/state-appointed-leader-mississippis-worst-rated-school-district-resigns/879077001/|title=State-appointed leader of Mississippi’s worst-rated school district resigns |agency=[[Associated Press]] |newspaper=[[Clarion Ledger]]|date=2017-11-19|accessdate=2018-09-17}}

"State-appointed leader of Mississippi's worst-rated school district resigns". Clarion Ledger. Associated Press. 2017-11-19. Retrieved 2018-09-17.

A lot of editors write |publisher=''<periodical name>'' and |publisher=<periodical name> in periodical templates so I am running a bot task to fix as many of those kinds of problems as possible before the module-suite update. The bot will not fix the misused |publisher= issues described in this post.

This simple insource: cirrus regex search may be helpful if you wish to fix these types of citations before the update. This search also finds untemplated instances of the string ]]'' at the ''[[ which are not of concern until those plain-text citations are converted to templates.

—Trappist the monk (talk) 15:22, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

@Trappist the monk: Thanks for the notification! I'll start using the work field instead for the newspaper names if that's Ok. Anyway a few things: Re: Asian Review of Books, the reviews were initially published on that website but the South China Morning Post also published the same reviews on its page. From "How Ming dynasty pirate took Taiwan from the Dutch in Joyce Bergvelt’s novel Lord of Formosa: review." the bottom states "Asian Review of Books Comments" which indicates that is the true source of the review. (I'm wondering if the SCMP's website architecture obstructs text searches of that string). As for Spring Observer et al, they used to be independent newspapers under the Houston Community Newspapers umbrella but the Chronicle acquired them all at a later time. As for Associated Press I learned that should not be italicized, so I will remove that. Again, thanks for the heads up!WhisperToMe (talk) 15:35, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Perhaps I fumbled on the 'Asian Review of Books' search; I can find it now. I wonder if it should be treated as an 'agency' because in our article South China Morning Post is cited as the source (the editor read it there?) but |agency=Asian Review of Books because Asian Review of Books apparently has/had editorial control of that review? (in this rather like AP has primary editorial control over articles it produces but that are 'distributed' by local newspapers) Can't say for sure, can't find that review on Asian Review of Books.

—Trappist the monk (talk) 16:05, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

I've had some trouble locating Asian Review of Books pages on Google. I honestly don't know why but I've made queries into Google and they didn't show up :-(. Anyhow I believe http://asianreviewofbooks.com/content/lord-of-formosa-by-joyce-bergvelt/ is the original page of the book review. In regards to that I'm fine with using Asian Review of Books as the "agency" and the SCMP as the "work". I wonder, by the way, if the citation template could give a warning if italic or quotation mark characters are detected in the publisher field to discourage people from adding those characters. I think that would be great in encouraging people to use the template properly. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:40, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Are you not seeing the error messages with this citation (copied from above)?

"State-appointed leader of Mississippi's worst-rated school district resigns". Associated Press at the Clarion Ledger. 2017-11-19. Retrieved 2018-09-17. {{cite web}}: Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= (help)

That Asian Review of Books link looks right (at a glance). If it is the same as is used at South China Morning Post, wouldn't it be better to simply cite the review directly and leave out South China Morning Post bibliographic stuff?

—Trappist the monk (talk) 17:28, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Trappist, I'm seeing the error message now. Thanks! As for the ARB stuff, I wanted to emphasize that it got published in the SCMP (as the SCMP historically was the newspaper of record in Hong Kong) to show that it's an important review/in an important publication, but I could also link primarily to the original ARB review and shunt the SCMP link as an alternate one. WhisperToMe (talk) 17:46, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Good. I'm glad that I haven't buggered up the code so that only some see the error messages that all are supposed to see. It's anyone's guess about when those error message will go live (there are a couple of rfcs in the way that must be closed first). I'm not trying to talk you out of citing South China Morning Post; all I care about is that citations render correctly and produce good metadata.

Infobox mapframe

Hi WhisperToMe, are you adding Infobox mapframe to each school now? I'm not too sure if that is a good idea, the Infobox school template still requires cleanup and once this is done, I'm looking to get mapframe implemented into the template - like what was done to Infobox building for example. When this is added, we would have to go through all the schools and remove this. Please let me know, thanks Steven (Editor) (talk) 02:17, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

@Steven (Editor): Thanks for the greet! I started adding the mapframe because I saw it in another article (about a Hong Kong school), did a preview with Lamar High School (Houston), liked what I saw, and thought I'd spread it around. If there are plans to actively integrate it in the template, I am happy to wait. I'm wondering if a bot, after integration, could be used to clean up old instances of mapframe. WhisperToMe (talk) 07:49, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

In general this is brilliant news. I have reservations though about the capability of mapframe as against OSM map. It lacks the ability to add multisite campuses, it lacks the ability to offset- often it is more useful to display the map centred on the town centre, and pin the site to edge of the map. In a series of articles on schools in the same town, it is better to use the same map centre for all articles. The rendering of the pin is too loud and obliterates local detail. I expect this functions will be added in the future, but I would be loathe to lose existing detail in the search for a global solution, only to have to re-research it later. --ClemRutter (talk) 08:14, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

@ClemRutter: Thanks for the update! Yeah, because of the lack of multicampus functions I only added this mapframe to single-campus schools. In fact some schools may have four or five campuses in the same metropolitan area or so (note even two or more campuses in the same municipality can be geographically distant, or different municipalities may be geographically close, so it depends on the particular school) WhisperToMe (talk) 08:49, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi WhisperToMe and ClemRutter, thanks for replying - yeah the Infobox mapframe is better suited to single-campus schools and I was thinking for those with multiple campuses, the OSM one should be used instead via the module parameter? If you look at the Infobox school talkpage there's a section titled "Infobox cleanup" - there are already parameters listed for merging, renaming and deleting, delete completely and other. This is pretty much a full cleanup and the only problem that is holding this is consensus and no one has commented on it since last year. I'm not sure if this can go ahead due to no objection and comment but I dunno. Would you be interested in providing your comments of whether you support or disagree to each of the sections. If for example you support all of the parameters listed for complete removal, you can simply right at the bottom "I support the removal of all these parameters" or something. When the cleanup is done and dusted, we can initiate the mapframe discussion and whether pushpin map should be removed entirely in favour of it or kept alongside. Please let me know, thank you Steven (Editor) (talk) 18:57, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

@Steven (Editor): Sure! I'll take a look at some of the discussions. In the meantime, I wonder if a button selection for each campus would be good for multi-campus schools: you click a button to see the location of a particular campus. LILA in the Los Angeles area, for example, has five or so distant campuses, and Darul Arqam in the Houston area is similar. I think having the coords of the school system's administrative offices would be good too. WhisperToMe (talk) 19:37, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi, thank you, there's no rush anyway, perhaps you could start with the merge subsection and then work your way down? Do you mean like a interchangeable map for the different campus - buttons that would look like what you get under a pushpin map? I can see you're adding mapframe to module again, would you be able to hold for now? I'm not sure if a bot can remove those after, I know it can remove parameters but not sure about specific text next to a parameter Steven (Editor) (talk) 20:10, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

@Steven (Editor): I'll go ahead and do that. As for the module, in that case I'll hold for now unless/until I get confirmation that a bot would be able to do a mass remove. How's that? (in some cases using the module has helped me identify/fix coordinate errors on Wikidata - the wikidata coordinates are different from Enwiki and the module draws from wikidata) WhisperToMe (talk) 20:13, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

Thank you so much, you forgot to sign after your text by the way haha. The Rename and delete section is for consolidating the proliferation of aliases/synonyms which are unnecessary, will help maintain consistency and reduce the clutter in the code. You can just write support or disagree at the bottom, but there are three bullet points which have comments underneath like deleting the years taught sub-parameters. The Delete completely section is for parameters to be deleted completely so can just comment at bottom for this too. That's perfect and it's good that you were able to identify/fix coordinate errors. Pinging Primefac for comment regarding the module situation and if a bot can do this Steven (Editor) (talk) 21:08, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

If there are a significant number of pages/parameters that need removing, a bot run could be used to remove them. If it's on, say, less than 200 pages, it will just be easier to go through and remove them manually or with AWB. Primefac (talk) 15:44, 7 July 2019 (UTC) (please ping on reply)

@Steven (Editor): Primefac said a bot could remove them, though he thinks AWB/manually is a better way of removing them if the templates are on fewer than 200 pages WhisperToMe (talk) 15:50, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi Primefac, thanks for replying, but can a bot remove certain text after a parameter? In this case, the module parameter for Infobox school is used in different ways such as different infoboxes embedded. Would a bot be able to go through only the articles with Infobox mapframe next to the module parameter? Steven (Editor) (talk) 19:11, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

Sure. Primefac (talk) 19:41, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

SCF dual enrollment

Hello WisperToMe :)

I recently found an article on the herald tribune that discusses SCF's decision to end dual enrollment at other high school's. https://www.heraldtribune.com/news/20181002/scf-to-end-dual-enrollment-courses-on-sarasota-manatee-school-campuses — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spaceboy900 (talk • contribs) 17:47, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

@Spaceboy900: Thank you so much! I really appreciate this WhisperToMe (talk) 18:20, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

You're welcome :) Spaceboy900 (talk) 18:24, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

@Spaceboy900: One thing I'd try when editing is archiving copies of articles you use as sources. That way even if the original location is deleted, you still have additional copies people can read. There are four archival sites to choose from: Wayback Machine (web.archive.org), Webcitation.org, Archive.is (also .li, .ph, etc), and Megalodon.jp. I like to archive each page on at least two or so. WhisperToMe (talk) 18:35, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: Thanks for the helpful tip! I'll definitely have to try that next time. Spaceboy900 (talk) 19:08, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

WikiProject Notre Dame

Hello WhisperToMe/Archive 28, I just wanted to thank you for your work for the WikiProject Notre Dame. I am currently making an effort to revamp it and improve all articles. I was wondering if you could help out, since any and all help is needed. If you want, you can check out the To Do list for the top priority, or take your own initiative and work on what's needed the most. The top priority articles in bad condition, like the colleges or the grotto, need a lot of help too. Additionally, photos or translation in other languages are also great.

Best and thank once more for your work on Wikipedia, Eccekevin (talk) 02:39, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Humans (Phillips book)

Hi, I made some edits on Humans (Phillips book), including its apparent earlier publication date of 2018. That being said... I'm not so sure that the 2018 Wildfire edition [11] might not be ebook only, and maybe just barely this side of self-published. Do you have any familiarity with this publisher? Perhaps the 2019 Hanover Square Press edition should be considered the first "real" publication of the book. TJRC (talk) 20:37, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

@TJRC: I checked the page at https://www.headline.co.uk/titles/tom-phillips/humans/9781472259028/ and found that if one clicks "EBook" there is a drop-down that also includes "paperback", so it seems like they have regular book versions too!

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Film in the United States portal

A tag has been placed on Category:Film in the United States portal requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

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 deleted without delay.

Yugioh character

You think it might be possible to create another Yugioh character article ala Yugi Muto.

@Tintor2: It might help to ask people at the JAWiki Chatsubo to see if any Japanese magazines have articles about them. Interestingly the Joey character is usually known by his family name, Jonouchi, in the English manga (and most other language mangas, except Brazilian Portuguese), as well as the original Japanese.

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 Mr. Wilson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned 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 a 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.

Hello, Whisper,

I just deleted a lot of broken redirects to this recently deleted article. It looks like you were not notified of its deletion and as you had created it, I thought you should know in case you objected to its deletion. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:04, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

@Liz: Thanks for the notice! I strongly object to the deletion; I started the article quite a while back. If someone else replaced it with advertising it should be restored to the last clean revision, not deleted. @Jimfbleak: WhisperToMe (talk) 01:42, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

I reviewed the revisions and I do not see an instance of a third party adding promotional language. The article existed since 2010 so I had no expectations of such an event happening. I do not understand how it could be taken as promotion. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:46, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

You're alive! :O

Would you believe, I had you on my mind just last week - went to WikiConference North America for the first time, and one of my roommates at the hostel was talking about regional and local editor groups. Was telling her you were one of the only other people I knew who edited Dallas or Houston, and I was pretty sure you'd moved somewhere else at some point. Good to see you're still editing - hope you're doing well. Lawikitejana (talk) 07:37, 22 November 2019 (UTC) ETA this is in response to your message on my user talk page about having started an article on a Dallas elementary school. BTW, if it's a DISD elementary school, I believe at some point I was advised either to make articles only about the elementary schools that are notable in their own right OR to create a combined article about all the Dallas public elementary schools, with a section for each. Lawikitejana (talk) 07:40, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

@Lawikitejana: Good to hear back from you! I felt I could create a page after a kind editor sent me a page of a textbook discussing Mockingbird (the Stonewall) from WP:RX. Since the entry discussed the school in detail, I felt there is now notability. This is also why Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Pershing_Middle_School_(Houston) closed as a keep. Anyway I'm working on List of Dallas ISD schools and wrote some articles about former DISD superintendents. As for wikimeets, I went to one in Bangkok with a buddy from Hong Kong, and it was a lot of fun! WhisperToMe (talk) 07:49, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Grand Rapids Christian Schools

The article Grand Rapids Christian Schools has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Private school districts do not get an automatic pass on notability. They have no set boundries, meaning it fails WP:GEOPLACE, it lacks the taxing powers (and the interest that goes along with that) and has no legal powers beyond what any other private company would have. Oh, and it fails GNG, and NORG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Mass creation of school districts enquiry

Hey WhisperToMe, I noticed you have been mass creating school district articles (excluding redirects) in stub length, will you be expanding these? It's just that per the school article guidelines, stubs are to be avoided. Please let me know, thanks Steven (Editor) (talk) 23:18, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

@Steven (Editor): Hi! I'll check and see if additional coverage on the distructs is readily available. The common outcomes for districts is based on geo outcomes. On one hand much of rural America's school districts still don't have articles and since relatively few people with little editing experience have the time or resources to create articles that pass AFC, I feel it would help for me personally to start these articles. I feel this will help rural Americans become more interested in Wikipedia and feel more of a stake in the project. On the other hand I agree a substantial article us better than a stub.

Removed redirected high schools question

Hi WhisperToMe, hope you had a good Christmas and Happy New Year. I came across these two US schools; Bibb County High School and West Blocton High School — both of these were created as redirects to their locality, but you removed them and didn't really make any improvement except make them into single-sentence unsourced stubs back in April 2018. The edit summary you had provided for one of them was: "That was a bad redirect!". By any chance have you done the same for other high schools? Stubs are to be avoided per the school article guidelines and redirects should be tagged with the R from school template so they can be categorised, and have the potential to be converted into an article if someone is willing to work on it. Please let me know, thank you Steven (Editor) (talk) 00:02, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

• @Steven (Editor): Hi! Thanks for letting me know! I'll get to these articles within this week. It's possible I've studied others, but I'd have to check my edit summaries. Anyhow:
• 1. Public high schools in recently populated areas almost always have the potential of being decently developed, and the main roadblocks are paywalls and lack of digitization of old newspaper articles. It of course is preferable to not have a stub, but the district in question operated more than one comprehensive high school, so there should be differentiation between the high schools, and that means content that can flesh out the articles. I'd like to beef up the articles sometime, so I should get to them sometime this week.
• 2. Re the edit summary comment, any US/Canadian schools that do redirect should be going to the respective school districts, not the municipalities; the municipal governments (usually) dont operate them, and the schools often draw from multiple communities. It is important that redirecting to school districts, and not municipalities, is emphasized. Because ordinary people who don't know hiw Wikipedia operates won't catch on to the redirects not going to the right place, they may not realize there is an issue. Also if the article doesnt mention the schools, people will be confused by the redirect. I'd have to check diffs but it's possible the target articles didnt mention the schools.
• 3. One issue today with wikipedia is the relative difficulty and lack of timeliness of the AFC process. I feel that it would be easier on the community to create a stub that is likely to survive any notability challenges and then let the locals add more content.
• WhisperToMe (talk) 00:37, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

No problem and as you'll be getting to them, I'll add the infoboxes, NCES etc. Absolutely they have the potential to be developed, what I mean is that by being a redirect they can be converted to an article at any time when someone comes along and is interested in developing an article for the school. No no, I know about the redirect targets, because that edit summary was used in the edit that removed the redirect and created the article, I've interpreted the comment as being that the article shouldn't have been redirected, my bad haha. I guess you're right about the AfC problem, although I have noticed recent AfC's being reviewed pretty quickly, including the schools that I moved to draftspace. Regarding stubs, I see what you mean, but I guess that depends on what is being created. For schools, ok high schools are deemed notable, but if we take a look at the already existing 25,000+ school stubs, most have remained stagnant for a long time, some for years and some where additions have been made but had to be removed as it had not sufficiently improved the article. I think the text in the guidelines regarding stub avoiding makes perfect sense.

Another concern, I've noticed you are still mass creating school district stubs; the following are some recent ones and multiple ones had been created on the same day: Woodland Public Schools, Julesburg School District, Ortonville Public School, Alexandria Public Schools (Minnesota), Huron School District (Michigan) — all in similar format with one/two-line sentence, list of the schools and reference to school district website. I'm not here to scrutinize you WhisperToMe, I monitor new pages and seen your username popping up a lot although I think I'm the only person that's raising a concern here, the question is whether these are ok. Pinging John from Idegon and Kudpung if they could please provide their thoughts on this. Steven (Editor) (talk) 01:52, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Steven, the principle behind school district notability is that they are inherently notable due to being geographical places, so strictly speaking I believe that all a school district needs is proof of existence. The real impetus from my end is that rural areas in many states are not being represented on Wikipedia like urban areas. Many school districts still dont have articles and many ordinary people cant or wont take the time to write them ( lack of familiarity with WP and/or lack of time are factors). Also the WMF is trying to increase participation on Wikipedia when the edit count had been in decline. The way to increase that is to make it easier to submit articles that we know are treated as notable.  I feel it's 2020 and I would like to see more coverage of rural areas.

It is true that many users aren't sure what should be added or don't have the time. Also the school guidelines don't automatically display when people edit the article, so they may be confused about why they're reverted. These things may explain why many HS articles are stagnant. However trying to create a new article via AFC is much, much harder than just making a new addition to something that already exists. Anyway I try to improve/add to HS articles when I can so people see what an article can include, but from the standpoint of an inexperienced user, it's much easier to edit something already there than to get around the AFC process. The difficulty of AFC is why I prefer having a stub in many case.

WikiProject Education in the United Kingdom

Hi, I see you have added some UK universities to Wikipedia:WikiProject Education in the United Kingdom, which is flagged as inactive and seems to have focused on schools rather than universities. Do you have any plans to revive the project? TSventon (talk) 15:27, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

@TSventon: Hi! I wanted to garner attention for the project to get eyeballs on it. I did personally focus on UK overseas territory education in regards to article writing itself, but didn't have particular plans to do infrastructure improvements on the project itself. Another user suggested that things would be better handled on WikiProject Schools and Universities after the fact as he stated "Education in the UK" was never that active of a project. I wonder if "Education in the United Kingdom" could be turned into a task force of the existing UK Wikiproject; this might help focus matters on existing WikiProjects. WhisperToMe (talk) 17:12, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I mostly edit "University of Oxford" articles (which was why I saw your edit to the Oxford talk page), but haven't actually signed up to the Oxford wikiproject. I would agree with the other wikieditor that WikiProjects Schools and Universities already provide a forum for improving educational articles. Converting to a task force seems harder than reviving the existing project as a proposal would be need to be submitted and agreed (in addition to recruiting a group of enthusiastic editors and rewriting the project page).

This is ParaguaneroSwag. I am responding to your inquiry of the boundaries of Chinatown, Houston. The source you listed is a visitors bureau. This isn't an official definition of neighborhoods, it is rather a government-ran marketing agency. The official neighborhood boundaries of Chinatown are defined by the Southwest Management District. It is the same management district who set the boundaries of Mahatma Gandhi District, Houston. Because of this, I have reverted your edit back to the adjusting of the official Chinatown boundaries, since wikipedia guidelines call for official boundaries. Thanks for your inquiry, I hope you understand the difference.

Chinatown edit response

WhisperToMe, I understand your points about the Southwest Management District being designated by the Texas Legislature instead of the city (even though the city has a large degree in say of their districts), and I understand the district only being able to designate a neighborhood within their own boundaries. Regardless of this, it's still the official boundaries of the neighborhood, designated by an official government body, unlike the GHCVB. And the visitor's bureau is still only a marketing agency that doesn't officially designate neighborhoods like the Southwest Management District does. Also, Chinatown isn't the only neighborhood that the GHCVB extends or changed in definition.

Additionally, while Little Saigon, Houston doesn't have official boundaries like Chinatown, that neighborhood is popularly established with Vietnamese street signs and so forth. You can visit that article and view the sources for further information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ParaguaneroSwag (talk • contribs) 23:20, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Dearest WhisperToMe, thanks to contact me!

Here in Caselle Landi, province of Lodi, we hav 8-10 positives, but we are only 1.550 people. We are less that 10 miles from Codogno, where was founded the patient 1. And, sigh, in Codogno lives my girlfriend, we just phone theese days, sigh...

Me, mummy and my family, and my girlfriend, are going well. Today in Italy, we passed 20.000 postives. But now mr Corona is moving to Bergamo and Brescia. I hope he will go away soon!!!

Mass creation of school districts

Hi WhisperToMe, hope you're well and safe. I can see you are now mass creating school districts, most of them are in the same format, stub length which is against the school article guidelines, and with three references: Two to the Department of Education and one to the school's website. I don't think this is helpful to the project and they look a bit like directory listings which is not what Wikipedia is. You work is very useful to the project but it's the mass creation.. Steven (Editor) (talk) 21:34, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

@Steven (Editor): Steven, while Wikipedia is not a directory per se, it's an almanac gazetteer (as per Wikipedia:Notability_(geographic_features)). Practice from the early days establishes that there are some topics that frankly should be mass created: User:Rambot did that with U.S. municipalities back in 2003. It is my position that every single established U.S. school district needs an article. It's 2020, and near notability for these topics has been secured as per Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes#School_districts for ""Populated, legally-recognized places" include school districts, which conveys near-inherent notability to school districts per Wikipedia:Notability (geography)." (essentially they are treated like municipalities). Also, unlike some previous mass-creations of mine, I have taken care to add sufficient information: consolidation history, municipalities served, and schools so the articles are substantial enough off the bat.WhisperToMe (talk)

BTW I'm eternally grateful to User:Acntx for mass-creating the school district articles in my state, Texas, back in 2006 or so. WhisperToMe (talk) 22:15, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

I'm aware that mass creation can be looked at as unfavorably in the wrong circumstances but the addition of information should make this mass creation OK, and the "Notability_(geographic_features)" should be justification. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:48, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

I support WhisperToMe's position on this topic. RickH86 (talk) 13:46, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Hacı Halil Efendi

Hi! Hacı Halil Efendi article exits in trwiki as tr:Çerkes Halil Efendi. I've linked them now. But i want to note that according to the source referenced on enwiki as well as other sources i've found, he was died in Afyonkarahisar, not in İstanbul. There is no mention to about he has been tortured, either. His story is being told like this: When he was removed from his position he was first sent to Bursa with his wife, and then to Afyonkarahisar all alone. But his wife in Bursa was accoused with witchcraft and executed. He had a stroke when he heard the news and then died. --Basak (talk) 09:43, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

@Basak: Thank you! That's very helpful. Was he known as both Haci or Cerkes? Maybe in different periods? WhisperToMe (talk) 09:46, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

I think he was known as "Cerkes"; the title of "Hacı" (pilgrim) was added probably after he has been to Mecca around 1803. I saw one source which calls him "Çerkes Şeyhülislâm El-hac Halil Efendi" using the title "Sheikh ul-Islam" together with Çerkes (Circassian) and Hacı(pilgrim).--Basak (talk) 10:16, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Fahd

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 Fahd requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 deleted 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. Launchballer 22:31, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Doraemon table

I converted and completely reformatted the Doraemon episodes table. I wrote up a perl script to do most of the work after trying to manually copy stuff over. Please take a look and feel free to clean any stuff up from there. I'm pondering whether the summaries are copied from zap2it. If they are then they need to be nuked.

Per WP:ELNEVER

Reads- External links to websites that display copyrighted works are acceptable as long as the website is manifestly run, maintained or owned by the copyright owner; the website has licensed the work from the owner; or it uses the work in a way compliant with fair use. Knowingly directing others to material that violates copyright might be considered contributory copyright infringement. If there is reason to believe that a website has a copy of a work in violation of its copyright, do not link to it. Linking to a page that illegally distributes someone else's work casts a bad light on Wikipedia and its editors. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as Scribd, WikiLeaks, or YouTube, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates copyright. These links need to be removed....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 17:18, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

@WilliamJE: the Smithsonian Channel must have the legal rights to publish all of that on YouTube and that makes it okay. This isn't a random YouTube user, but the affiliated TV channel of the Smithsonian Museum of Washington, DC. Also note that these are rarely the full episodes, but short previews of them. (there was one case where there was a full episode, obviously posted with the blessing of the copyright owner). They would be flat out stupid to COPYVIO.

WhisperToMe (talk) 17:22, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

If they are just short previews, what are they adding to the articles?...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 17:28, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

@WilliamJE: A visual depiction at all; among many in the general public they're OK with watching a short video but not reading a lengthy report on it. It's why the director of The Promise stated that the public learns more from videos/films than from books. Also the Smithsonian Channel (still) has an actual educational mission.

List of Death Note characters

Your edit summary in your edit suggest that you copied some material from another Wikipedia article but I don't know which one.

This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.S Philbrick(Talk) 21:49, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

@Sphilbrick: It was Near (Death Note) (what I meant by "former article") which was just redirected to List of Death Note characters ; however noone had yet moved encyclopedic content, so I made the following post Talk:Near_(Death_Note)#Merging_content_into_List_of_Death_Note_characters and pinged some of the relevant editors. Anyhow I'll be happy to review the best practices. It is true that I had hoped the context of the situation made it clear exactly which article it was coming from but I agree that I should spell out the exact name in future merges.

Also Re: "copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution" - that would not be possible for non-savvy viewers/editors since Near (Death Note) is now a redirect, and non-savvy editors wouldn't know how to get to the page history. Would I need to include the exact URL for the page history?

Roman Catholic schools in NJ

Thanks for the work on List of schools in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark and other corresponding articles. While it seems that there are articles for all schools currently open (or very recently closed), your list article only helps focus on those articles for defunct high schools that should have their own articles created. Thanks again and let me know what I can do to help. Alansohn (talk) 16:16, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

• @Alansohn: You're welcome! If you have access to library accounts or academic databases it may help to find articles about the closed high schools that don't yet have articles. I know that newspaper articles from the past had been taken offline and that's something that frustrates me. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:38, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
  • I have access to Newspapers.com, which has been remarkably helpful as more newspapers make even recent content (a year or two old) unavailable. Once these articles settle down (and they're most of the way there) it will be clearer if the articles are missing or the names changed, as may be the case for St. Aloysius in Jersey City. Thanks again for getting this going. Alansohn (talk) 17:06, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Vinton-Shellsburg Community School District

I only deleted the news reference because it has already happened. If you are restoring it, it should be re-written as having occurred instead of scheduled to occur.

On another note - I have contacted several school districts suggesting that the Talented and Gifted students could do a project to expand the entries for their district, especially history. I don't know if anything will come of it, but I thought it was worth a shot. RickH86 (talk) 13:38, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

That's actually one reason why I started some of these articles, to encourage young people to write for Wikipedia, as I myself began as a high school student. WhisperToMe (talk) 14:14, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

@RickH86: You're welcome! I think every school district in the US needs an article. As it's also important to show the community they are notable and showing the media coverage is a great way to demonstrate this. I think rural Americans are underserved by Wikipedia articles, so making these articles will help rural Americans know about and write about their communities. If you know of places where this issue is discussed, please let me know where they are so I can add my two cents. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:21, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

See comments on Draft:Iowa_Valley_Junior-Senior_High_School about notability. I've since edited it, so it's ready to submit once I get a few dates/history from the local historical society. When I have the relevant information, I can add it to Draft:Iowa Valley Community School District, and it will also be ready to submit. RickH86 (talk) 17:21, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

I've merged the high school information into the Draft:Iowa Valley Community School District and submitted it. RickH86 (talk) 17:24, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

School districts in Iowa

FYI - I've updated the List of school districts in Iowa and switched it to an alphabetical listing per your suggestion (I also alphabetized the list for Arizona, Delaware, New Jersey and Ohio). Since you've created several school district pages, I'm hoping you can work on the list of districts without pages, and start with Belle Plaine, Keota, Williamsburg, and Newton. I've started adding infoboxes to the district pages that don't have one. RickH86 (talk) 13:42, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Please see Howard-Winneshiek Community School District. I've been adding infoboxes and seem to have a glitch on this one, though I'm using the same format as all the others. RickH86 (talk) 17:24, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, WhisperToMe, but it looks like we're dealing with 2 different companies. So a merge is not the correct course of action. What this article needs is to be expanded/updated, and the article that was proposed for the merge needs updating as well.

Hello!

Hi WhisperToMe. I hope you don't mind me landing on your talk page like this, but I've noticed you've done loads of work on the honour-related articles, which is an interest of mine. I've tried to do some work myself on Banaz Mahmod & Samia Shahid, I created Tulay Goren (which still needs a lot of work!) and I plan on expanding Samaira Nazir at some point. In the meantime I've drafted, and submitted, Draft:Murder of Heshu Yones - I realise it's a bit basic and needs expanding - but I wondered if you could take a look at it and tell me what you think while I'm waiting for it to be reviewed? Any pointers would be appreciated. Thank you! --DSQ (talk) 05:43, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Addition of archive links to NJ school articles

There is a discussion underway on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Schools about the re-creation of Category:Middle schools in the United States by county‎ which was deleted after this deletion discussion.

You recently added pages or categories to Category:Private middle schools in the United States by county and Category:Middle schools in the United States by county‎. Please hold off on creating or populating non-existent categories until the discussion winds down.

Wayback Machine links in External links sections?

Why are you adding links to archives of websites stored in the Wayback Machine to the External links sections of articles? ElKevbo (talk) 21:02, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

• @ElKevbo: To show historical information on a subject. If someone wanted to get info on a community college as it was in 1996 (when the Internet Archive began capturing pages), one would need to know the URL it was using at the time. URLs have changed, so without the prior knowledge of what the URL was, a person wishing to research the subject in historical time periods won't know how to find it. I have used pages stored on the wayback machine to find information to cite in Wikipedia articles, so I feel this is of educational use and use to the project. WhisperToMe (talk) 21:06, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

I'm not so sure about this; it doesn't seem to align with WP:EL and WP:NOTDIR. Has this been discussed anywhere? ElKevbo (talk) 21:14, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

@ElKevbo: The only similar discussion I know of was back in 2009 Talk:Central_Park_Media#Archives_of_Central_Park_Media_official_website and it seemed inconclusive, but the archived site was kept here, but that was the case of a company that was completely defunct. I can start a broader discussion at WP:EL if you like. I've been adding wayback archive links to former URLs for over 10 years. WhisperToMe (talk) 21:20, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Edit: I did find Wikipedia_talk:External_links/Archive_27#ELs_of_official_websites_archived_on_web.archive.org which was from 2009. It seems the decision was to not make a blanket decision on such ELs. WhisperToMe (talk) 21:22, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

My editing is usually pretty narrow and specialized but I haven't ever seen these links in the EL section. I think it would be appropriate to hold a larger discussion before adding them to a bunch of articles as that discussion (a) is over a decade old and (b) the discussion appears to have focused on adding links to the Wayback Machine for websites that are defunct (which doesn't seem to be the case for the edits I have seen you recently make; I probably wouldn't have a problem if that were the case for your edits). ElKevbo (talk) 21:27, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

@ElKevbo: I agree with having a larger discussion. I went ahead and started it on the EL noticeboard. Please feel free to let me know if I should add more to it! WhisperToMe (talk) 21:38, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

UTAGE Flight 141

Hi WhisperToMe. All the way back in 2004, you replied to someone on the Talk Page of UTAGE Flight 141 who confused the airline involved with French airline UTA. You said "The full name of the airline is Union des Transports Aériens de Guinée, or UTAGE. Yes, its a different airline, but the name is also in French." You proceeded to edit the article to say as such. In 2006 an article on the airline was created under the name "Union des Transports Aériens de Guinée", and in 2012 the article on the accident was moved from "UTA Flight 141" to "UTAGE Flight 141".

However, I can't find any source from the time confirming that the airline was referred to as 'UTAGE'. On the Talk Page I laid out that most sources I found, from news articles to the final report, referred to the airline as 'Union des Transports Africains (de Guinée)' and abbreviated it as 'UTA'. The closest I could find to your claim were articles from FlightGlobal that abbreviated the airline to 'UTAG' (they still used 'Union des Transports Africains de Guinée'). I've done more searching since, filtering for results before the article was moved or before you made your reply, but still can't find anything.

I'm considering moving the articles, but I want to make sure the my assumption on the airline's name is correct. So I'm curious if you remember where you had heard that the airline was referred to as 'Union des Transports Aériens de Guinée' and 'UTAGE', and whether or not it is a reliable source. Thanks! ThatFlyingSquid (talk) 22:52, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

@ThatFlyingSquid: Thank you for looking into it! I don't remember where I got the acronym UTAGE. I checked the BEA reports, both the French and English versions, and they use "UTA" as the acronym. I don't believe the airline ever had an official site. I can see if some of the English news articles have the acronym WhisperToMe (talk) 23:44, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: Hi, I noticed that the move from Zhang Xueliang to Chang Hsüeh-liang was finally done; however, I think that it would be more appropriate to remove the ü from the name and simply replace with a u.

@Lotje: Since its licensing is PD, go for it! WhisperToMe (talk) 05:32, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

 Done, BTW, looking at Canada Lee, reference [44] reads: "No title". Syracuse Herald. August 27, 1936. p. 12. Cite uses generic title (help) "Syracuse will be the last stop for the touring 'Macbeth' production … closing a 4,000 mile jaunt with a three-day run at the Civic University, opening Sept. 23." (and there are other pages too. Can this be changed in your opinion? Thanks. Lotje (talk) 05:53, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

@Lotje: If it's alright I can check with a Wikipedian who does a lot of coding work. @Trappist the monk: May I ask what a user should do in regards to Template:cite news if the article cited has no title? Putting in "no title" gives an error that "Cite uses generic title". Thanks! WhisperToMe (talk) 06:52, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Often there is some sort of title under which brief news items are collected, but if there really is nothing that can be used for a title, you might use a very short, quoted, incipit as the title. The source was added to Canada Lee at this edit by Editor WFinch so perhaps consult with them regarding an actual title or an appropriately brief incipit.

There is no requirement to use {{cite news}}. The cs1|2 templates are general purpose tools that are adequate for most citation needs but they are not adequate for every citation need. It may be that hand-writing the citation is the best solution in this case.

Move of Minister for Trade and Industry (Ghana)

Hello, I fail to understand the rational for the move of the page above to Ministry of Trade and Industry (Ghana). The page is predominantly a list of past ministers. Why it should be labelled as describing the ministry defeats me. Secondly, it still has the Category:Lists of government ministers of Ghana. Can you please help me understand it so I am not tempted to revert the page move?--Natsubee (talk) 00:44, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

@Natsubee: Hi! It's important for every national-level government ministry to have an article of its own. A list of ministers can be separate if a said list is long enough, but if the list of ministers is short I think it should be incorporated into the ministry article. After seeing the list I'm not opposed to detaching it as I feel it's lengthy enough. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:01, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Cape May Point school sending relationship

Thanks for this edit. I had seen your earlier edit that added the fact tag. We pretty much simultaneously found different versions of the same source, one from 2015 and one from 2020. Thanks for our efforts to verify, clean up and source the details in these article. Alansohn (talk) 16:38, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

@Alansohn: You're welcome! I like to ensure that each detail is sourced so people know where the info is coming from. Also I didn't know that Cape May Point technically had its own school board until now.. kind of an interesting fact WhisperToMe (talk) 16:49, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

It's a bizarre aspect of public education in New Jersey, but you end up with non-operating school districts that have a board of education, but no schools. Cape May Point is an excellent example. The state has worked to eliminate these vestigial boards of education and consolidate them with their functioning neighbors, but inertia is a very powerful force, especially in government. Alansohn (talk) 18:04, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

@Alansohn: Indeed! A lot of non-operating districts in other states were eliminated by the 1950s. NJ seems to be an outlier! Anyway I looked into West Wildwood, New Jersey and found that currently its K-8 sending district is North Wildwood School District and not Wildwood City School District as previously stated. I'm wondering if West Wildwood switched sending districts at some point, but the articles about a current controversy (about West Wildwood's board of education considering switching to Wildwood City for K-8 to cut costs, even though many residents prefer North Wildwood) don't seem to indicate a recent switch from Wildwood City to North Wildwood. WhisperToMe (talk) 15:46, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure where the North Wildwood relationship with Wildwood that was in the article came from, but thanks for the corrections and additions. New Jersey sending relationships can become very byzantine, to say the least, and the desire to switch from one district to another (usually to save money) can become an all-out political battle. Alansohn (talk) 16:00, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

@Alansohn: Wow! If these political battles are protracted enough I wonder if that would make non-operating districts notable for Wikipedia? (I'm OK with them being merged into municipalities though). Also I found that Cumberland County Technology Education Center has a Vineland, NJ post address but is actually in Millville. The City of Houston cheerfully explained: " The U.S. Postal Service establishes ZIP codes and mailing addresses in order to maximize the efficiency of their system, not to recognize jurisdictional boundaries." If some Wikipedians understandably ask "Why are you saying it's in Millville when the website/the newspaper says Vineland?" I think the quote will come in handy. WhisperToMe (talk) 07:46, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

I agree about the ZIP code issue. While many ZIP codes do overlap with municipal borders, there is no requirement that they do so. My expression is that "people believe that they live in their ZIP code". Thanks for all of your updates and corrections. Alansohn (talk) 12:19, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Edits to Collingswood, New Jersey

I know that you're now editing in the southern part of the state, but Collingswood, New Jersey isn't far away. A very new editor with no more than a dozen edits has been adding details about the mayor and his opinions, some of which are sourced to a local user's page and some to a newspaper article, and has reverted my edits multiple times so that we are both at 3RR. The material being added seems to be aimed at showing that the mayor has bad characteristics / opinions, but the article is about the borough, not the mayor. Take a look at history and let me know if I'm on the wrong path here. Alansohn (talk) 15:22, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Are combined education templates getting too big?

Template:Education in Salem County, New Jersey combines 13 school districts, six high schools and a community college on a single template. Template:Education in Morris County, New Jersey combines 39 school districts, 35 high schools (two defunct) and a community college on a single template with nine different sections / sub-sections. I can't disagree that Salem County benefits from a single template, but it seems to me that Morris County is more confusing having been merged onto one giant template. What do you think we should use as the dividing point between counties where a combined education template makes sense and those where it only adds to the confusion? Alansohn (talk) 12:06, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

@Alansohn: Good question! Do you think it should be 20 high schools, or 25? I wouldn't mind also getting feedback from some Schools wikiproject editors. I also suspect templates are getting bigger because newer monitors have higher display resolutions. WhisperToMe (talk) 18:24, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure what the cutoff should be and I'll look at the ones we have. For every person with a bigger monitor we also have more people reading off a cellphone screen. The single-purpose templates (districts only and high schools only) may strike a better balance for the counties with more districts and schools. Alansohn (talk) 20:12, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

@Alansohn: I think mobile view of Wikipedia omits templates altogether and one needs to do desktop view. Indeed Bergen County et al should have separated templates. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:30, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of City of Knowledge Islamic School

The article City of Knowledge Islamic School has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

I have searched for reliable sources for this school but have been unable to find any such that I do not think this article meets WP:GNG or WP:NORG. A request for additional citations has been unaddressed since early 2019 as well, which I take as further evidence of the lack of notability of this institution. Happy to discuss at AFD if someone wants to contest this PROD.

Re Xenophobia

The original text (機上有武漢人…) uses "the precomposed ellipses character" mentioned here.
I went with "機上有武漢人 ... " to comply with this.
Caveat: the text in question is within a parameter, thus no nbs. --Skews Peas (talk) 01:42, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

@Skews Peas: The text is an exact quote though. I believe "Use an ellipsis (plural ellipses) if material is omitted in the course of a quotation, unless square brackets are used to gloss the quotation (see § Brackets and parentheses, and the points below)." is meaning if a user is omitting text themselves rather than it appearing as an exact quote. However one could ask on the Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style talk page WhisperToMe (talk) 01:44, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Ryan Middle School (Houston)

I see you have made several edits to Ryan Middle School (Houston). The article is certainly well-sourced, but it's mostly run-of-the-mill stuff you would probably find for any old middle school in a city (dress codes, inappropriate staff), and middle schools typically are not presumed notable per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. Am I missing something? Thanks! Magnolia677 (talk) 17:57, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

• @Magnolia677: Thanks for asking! The key differences between Ryan Middle School and most middle schools are:
  • 1. Its role in African-American history in Houston
  • 2. The contention around the school's population dropping to an absurdly low level and the forced closure, which impacted the historically black Third Ward, Houston
• It could be merged with Baylor College of Medicine Academy at Ryan which is kind of a successor school on the same campus.

Details of education options in articles for unincorporated communities / neighborhoods

Looking at this edit as just one example, should the article for Schellenger Landing, New Jersey include an education section which duplicates some of the material in the article for Lower Township, New Jersey. Why not limit these articles to specific information about the specific neighborhood and have the article for the parent municipality include sourced details about education (and government, climate, etc.)?

• @Alansohn: Since those districts indeed have no distinct attendance boundaries I'm OK if the content is duplicated from the township article (so you edit the township article to affect all others). I believe there's Wikipedia code to do so. Note Rio Grande, New Jersey CDP is now defined by the US Census Bureau to be within two different townships (as some territory in Erma CDP was given to Rio Grande CDP). Now in cases where say school districts of townships have defined attendance boundaries for different schools I can see value for info for the various localities.

I wish however that I could change small details: for Cold Spring, New Jersey for example I'd rather have Carl Mitnick and Sandman Schools pictured since those schools actually are in Cold Spring, instead of LCMR HS (which is in Erma) WhisperToMe (talk) 22:31, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

Sorting schools

Hello.

A while back I created about 30 or so categories in the form 'Category:Lists of schools in (U.S. state)'. Before and since then, you have been busy with the much more difficult task of creating articles in the form 'List of schools in the Roman Catholic Diocese of (U.S. city)'. Thanks for all the good work!

I had sorted those articles by city within each state category, example. However, you have sorted a few new ones by "Catholic" like at List of schools in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Baton Rouge. A result of this differing approach is at Category:Lists of schools in Louisiana.

I don't mind either way but I would prefer it one way or another. If there is any good reason or rationale to sort them by "Catholic", I have no problem re-sorting all of them by "Catholic". If you have no real preference, I will re-sort any newer ones by city, simply because it would be far fewer edits to get it consistent.

Thank you for your time. --DB1729 (talk) 18:17, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

Chicago outside of CPS

Hi! I noticed while looking on Zillow that this apartment in Chicago (I double checked twice on Google Maps to make sure it was truly in Chicago) was zoned to Rosemont's district rather than CPS. It's such a small area but I think it's worth including. Maybe it's not. I don't know lol. AmazingGuitarist2 (talk) 12:50, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

@AmazingGuitarist2: If it is indeed in Chicago and zoned to Rosemont I would include that. I'm not sure if Zillow is correct so I'll check if the address is A) in Chicago and B) zoned to CPS. I often source things from State of Illinois/US Census Bureau/school district pages. WhisperToMe (talk) 13:02, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

@AmazingGuitarist2: I punched the address minus the point 5 in the CPS school zone locator and it says it's zoned to Dirksen K-8 and Taft High School WhisperToMe (talk) 13:06, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello

I saw that you are interested in old Turkish magazines on Turkish Wikipedia. [13] I don't know French. But I know Ottoman Turkish. If you need help, I can help you as much as I can about Ottoman Turkish texts with printing letters.--Tarih (talk) 03:49, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

@Tarih: Thank you! I found File:Bomonti Beer Factory-Istanbul.jpg from the Bomonti factory and I'm wondering what the Ottoman Turkish text here means, so I can add a note to the image. A transcription of the Ottoman Turkish itself would be useful too WhisperToMe (talk) 16:11, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Matthew Tye

Hi WhisperToMe - I was following up on the article that was deleted for Matthew Tye [14] I believe the review is currently with Shritwod[15] - Im very noob at Wikipedia so just wondering if we just recreate a new article or do we wait for Shritwod to review, thanks
Infograbber19 (talk) 10:47, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

@Infograbber19: Wait for Shritwod to respond. If a response doesnt come within a week, one can ping other participants of the old AFD and ask their opinion over it. Informally work with them, and there may be a new article that they're OK with. The key is having enough independent, reliable sources (in this case newspaper articles giving significant coverage to Tye). WhisperToMe (talk) 15:24, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: Thanks for the info, ill do that - have a nice day! Infograbber19 (talk) 01:22, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

@Infograbber19: The trick I do is instead of showing 10 or 20 maybe sources, pick the two, three, or four best sources and use that to prove notability. The SCMP one is the best so far, and I'm making the case on The Beijinger and That's Magazines (expat papers in China) WhisperToMe (talk) 15:32, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: Thanks for that - yeah I definitely added way to many sources before - definitely SCMP is a good one and the others you have mentioned - I have noticed that Shritwod has just recently removed the link for Matthew Tye from Winston Sterzel - I dont know why there is any question about whether the article should be reinstated - it is a clear cut case with lots of supporting sources.

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Question about an edit

Hello! I am new to editing Wikipedia and I saw this edit you made where you removed an infobox: https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Silicon_Valley_International_School_Willows_Campus&oldid=1073534311 I don't understand why it was removed, but there is probably some policy I have overlooked. Could you please clarify what it is that I am missing? Thanks in advance! HolmKønøman (talk) 19:22, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

@HolmKønøman: I removed the extra pushpin map. Previously the school infobox did not come with a pushpin map by default, so one had to specifically add a pushpin. Now pushpin maps are automatically generated with school infobox, so the extra pushpin map is no longer necessary. I hope this answers your question! WhisperToMe (talk) 20:25, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Yes, thank you very much for the explanation! I didn't know about this! And many thanks for your swift reply. Have a very nice day! HolmKønøman (talk) 21:39, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Henley & Partners

Hi WhisperToMe. I'm looking for some assistance at Henley & Partners (my employer), and I thought that, as an experienced editor and a listed member of WP:INTR, you might be willing to take a look.

In short, I initiated a discussion at Talk:Henley & Partners#Major changes made without consensus after an editor made several sweeping changes without discussion in mid-March, most of which was either WP:COATRACK content, relied too heavily on a WP:BIASED source, or removed sourced content arbitrarily. Another editor, User:15, wrote that they largely agreed with me and said they would revert the bulk of the undiscussed changes. But then 15 abruptly stopped editing (their last edit was Apr. 5), so the article since then has remained basically unchanged in the non-consensus version - I have not done the revert myself due to my COI. Since then I've been in touch with an admin who is active in articles about the topic of citizenship, who also agreed with 15's approach, but said he was too busy to get involved.

I'm hoping you can read the talk page discussion and, if you agree, revert the disputed changes (1, 2, 3) to whatever extent you feel is appropriate, to allow consensus to be reached properly. Thank you, Sarah Nicklin (talk) 08:09, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Draft:Dado Coletti ready for publication

Hi Whisper, I am writing to greet you and to know how you are, I am quite well for now, engaged in many extra wikipedian activities. I was wondering since I managed to fix the article if you would like to retouch it a little and then eventually publish it. Of course, if I can do something more, I am at your complete disposal, within my limits and possibilities. Waiting for your news, thank you in advance.--Luigi Salvatore Vadacchino (talk) 08:30, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

@Luigi Salvatore Vadacchino: Hello! What I can do is check for Italian speakers on the Italy WikiProject and have them read the sources in Italian so they confirm that they support the content, and then they can dedide whether the article passes review. How is that? WhisperToMe (talk) 20:09, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

Texas Tribune photo idea

I took these two images today, then I looked back at your post and saw the angle you wanted. If you don't like one of these two, then I will try again at the other angle.

Speedy deletion nomination of Amegy Bank of Texas

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 Amegy Bank of Texas, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations 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 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 deleted 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. MaxnaCarta (talk) 11:00, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Cheung Shan

Hello. About your edits to Cheung Shan (Kowloon), FYI. What you added about school nets was probably about Cheung Pei Shan, which is also known as Cheung Shan. 203.145.95.162 (talk) 03:31, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

@203.145.95.162: Thank you for the notice! The PDF literally states "CHEUNG SHAN" (in Chinese: "象山") ... but the other EDB page doesnt mention Cheung Shan but instead mentions "Cheung Shan Estate" (zh:象山邨) for school net 62. It seems that the PDF meant "Cheung Shan Estate". I removed the info from the page about Cheung Shan mountain, because on second glance, the area seems too far away from Tsuen Wan.
