Thanks for adding language tags to Emakimono!

Hiya - just thought I'd pop in to say thank you for adding language tags to Emakimono! I have just a few notes - some Japanese words, like kanji, don't require a language tag, as they've been heavily integrated into the English language, to the point where pretty much all screenreaders are able to pronounce them correctly. Other words do require a language tag - but, if they're a place name, or a person's name, they don't need italicising; to do this, you write the language tag out as {{lang|ja-Latn|[blahblahblah]|italic=no}}. (I'm also not entirely sure how language tags interact with the {{ill template - but they seem to display just fine on your edit, so I don't think that's a problem.) Once again - thank you for adding them! (It proves it's not just me doing it, lmao) --Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) 12:47, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

inneresting

The West today indicates the rig named Maersk Deliverer- (page 57 5th Feb The West)

while unless I have misread the website - it indicates nothing about such an item - https://www.maersksupplyservice.com/fleet/

any thoughts on that? (misreading very easy mind you...) JarrahTree 05:56, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for that (my misreading again - Friday - at 4 hours countdown for one thing and 196 hours for the other) - the west story today is enigmatic as is the inpex wikipedia article - clearly more to the story than meets the eye JarrahTree 06:18, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Too many disambiguation pages

I see you created Bishop of Newcastle, Australia, Bishop of Newcastle (New South Wales), AND Bishop of Newcastle, Australia. There was no need for that. Two of them can redirect to the third. StAnselm (talk) 19:30, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Bishop of North Queensland

I wanted to let you know that I have converted Bishop of North Queensland to a disambiguation page, as it has been several days since I closed the RM at Talk:Anglican Bishop of North Queensland with no action to create dab page. I've included Roman Catholic Bishop of Townsville and Roman Catholic Bishop of Cairns; I'm not sure if there were any other titles you wanted to include. There are also some incoming links that need to be disambiguated if you want to clean those up. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 16:30, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Women's National Cricket League templates

A tag has been placed on Category:Women's National Cricket League templates indicating that it is currently empty, 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 it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself. Liz ^{Read!

RFC: Are Australian state governors, heads of state?

I saw your post at the above RFC. The discussion and survey stage isn't over yet and you'd be welcome to add your voice to the Survey section too. Fearing you and others may have been misled by an involved editor adding a section just under that Survey section which he called "Summary and proposed solution", I've shuffled that bit down as its owns subsection of Discussion, so that's where your comment's sitting now. I hope you and our fellow contributors are happy with this. NebY (talk) 14:33, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Bibliography

Regarding your edits on Mercedes 300 SL and SLR. A general bibliography is possible for "A general reference is a citation that supports content, but is not linked to any particular piece of material in the article through an inline citation. General references are usually listed at the end of the article in a References section. They are usually found in underdeveloped articles, especially when all article content is supported by a single source. They may also be listed in more developed articles as a supplement to inline citations."

Please also consider https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#DIRECTORY https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Layout#Standard_appendices_and_footers and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Section_headings

These articles are not likely to get to GA status with one (of many) books on the cars being listed. The books you mention are older classics. I think that a Copy editor will come along and delete your books. What is the problem in putting them in line? I can do that if you don't have the books or do not have the time. --Akrasia25 (talk) 12:43, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

Dili info

Hi Bahnfrend, I've noticed your creation of a number of Dili-related articles recently. The Dili article itself currently has unsourced statements about the former Market Hall and about the office of the Prime Minister, and perhaps there is room for a bit more refinement of that section as a whole, so if you have run into any relevant sources I would appreciate it if you could let me know. The other lacking section is Culture, so if you have run into any sources which touch upon the city's cultural life that could help the page. If those two sections are fixed, I think the article may reach GA with a copyedit. (Long term there's probably a need to split/trim History and Utilities to accommodate some expansion elsewhere, but that's not a pressing need.) Best, CMD (talk) 07:52, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. I confirm that I've been creating and upgrading quite a few Dili-related articles recently. I also intend to create/upgrade several more in the near future (eg Cape Fatucama, Centro Nacional Chega!, Comoro River, National Stadium (East Timor), Ombai Strait, Timorese Resistance Archive and Museum).

Additionally, I've recently created/upgraded some articles about the various East Timorese government ministers and ministries (eg Minister of Health (East Timor), Ministry of Justice (East Timor)) (and will soon be doing some more work on that set of articles), but I haven't upgraded the Prime Minister of East Timor article just yet.

I've also been aware for some time that the Dili article could do with some revision to improve/add links, improve/add references, etc, taking into account the substantial amount of content I've recently added to the more specialised articles. I just haven't got around to revising that article yet.

A suitable time might be shortly after the new Tibar Bay Port is opened (I believe that that will be some time in the next couple of months or so), at which time I will update and upgrade both that article and the Port of Dili article and then be in a better position to work on the Dili article. I hope you don't mind waiting that long.

I will also bear in mind your comments about culture, history and utilities. Bahnfrend (talk) 10:06, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

At its current 48kb, the Dili article is about where it should be lengthwise, so detailed expansion will likely require the cutting back in other areas. I suppose history could simply be split off into History of Dili, but I'm less sure how the utilities might be condensed. (Are there utility of city articles?) At a pinch there is always the simple option of deleting the unsourced building sentences (unsourced for years), but Culture is the more tricky aspect. When I wrote the current Dili article, I couldn't find too much on it from sources I considered high quality. CMD (talk) 10:44, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

I see what you mean by links, if you're creating all these new articles. I just added the Tibar Bay Port link. Is it now expected to open in May 2022? When I wrote the Dili article last year it was April, so a month delay since then. CMD (talk) 10:48, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

A separate History of Dili article sounds like a good idea. You might want to look for ideas in articles about the history of other capital cities in the region (eg History of Jakarta, History of Manila). The Chega! and Museum articles would provide you with some cultural content to summarise in the Dili article. I will give them priority. Another culture-related article I plan to create soon is Xanana Gusmão Reading Room - the majority of the photos in the German language version were taken by me. Culture is a little difficult to write about in relation to impoverished countries like East Timor - western style cultural institutions are often beyond their means, and reliable sources about more mundane forms of culture are not necessarily easy to find. As for the opening date, I've seen both April and May. We probably won't know for sure until the Government website announces the opening ceremony. Bahnfrend (talk) 01:40, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, I will look into the articles you mention. I had some trouble with history in that there do not appear to be histories of the city disentangled from the history of the entire country, although I managed to find some useful things in the end. To be more comprehensive, I suspect there is a need to look into detailed East Timorese history sources and pull the relevant tidbits (at which point one might as well improve History of East Timor, which is a substantial task). I agree on reliable sources being hard to find. That said, there is some info elsewhere in the article that might also fit within Culture (eg. sacred sites in Buildings section, urban gangs in Demographics). Fantastic work by the way on Tibar Bay. If you are creating similar articles of that quality, please consider nominating them for WP:DYK within a week of creation (or I would be happy to nominate for you).

Statistical tables on cricket articles

Hello. I notice your revert. There is a consensus for the removal of tables such as the one you reverted. There was a discussion some time ago at the cricket wiki project and, iirc, that was encoded at WP:CRICSTYLE - although I may be wrong about the last part. I'll try and find the discussion at the wiki project in a moment, but I know it'll be buried in the archives. It was caused by some very disruptive editing where an awful lot of statistical cruft tables were being added - essentially copied from CricInfo database searches.

Let me get back to you with the link in a moment or three. Blue Square Thing (talk) 09:22, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

It never got added to CRICSTYLE, but the RfC(s) from 2017/18 are at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cricket/Archive 84. Note that the lack of context is the key. In the case of the tables I removed, there is absolutely no context whatsoever. A section where the centuries are introduced with references and some prose discussion above tables like this might mean that the section were appropriate - although in a number of cases where there are a very small number of centuries it's obviously easier to deal with the content as prose only.

In the case you've reverted, there are also substantial issues with WP:OLINK and the use of flags. I'd also argue that forcing column widths is unnecessary and that this creates accessibility problems for users with different screen sizes. Personally I'd remove the match number as I don't think it adds any context and I'd replace the hash with No. because that's more universally understood. I'd probably choose to combine the venue and city tables in one if I'm honest - that way, for example, you can just say Adelaide Oval when it's appropriate (i.e. no need for Adelaide Oval, Adelaide) etc...

The RfC I've cited is quite old now of course. You might want to open a new discussion at the cricket wikiproject. It's not a bad idea to do that really - a lot of things have changed in the past 5 years in the ways in which wikipedia and the cricket project work. Blue Square Thing (talk) 09:34, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

I'm really rather disappointed - and actually quite hurt - by your characterisation of the paragraph above as "demanding" that this issue be taken to the wiki project. I know it can be really difficult to read nuance in text-on communication, but I'm honestly not sure where you see that as demanding. Don't feel that you need to reply to this: I'm simply pointing out that it was a suggestion; the intention was to see if there was a case for changing the way we approach such things, although I suppose I didn't make that overtly clear. Blue Square Thing (talk) 10:13, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

No you didn't. Instead, you restored two of your own deletions that had been reverted a total of three different times by two different other editors. Your stated rationale was a misrepresentation of the outcome of a discussion that had been closed as "no consensus". If that's not an implied demand on your part, then I don't know what would be. Bahnfrend (talk) 12:17, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Well I'm really sorry you feel that way. I'll stop watching this page now so if you do reply here and expect a response from me please ping me. Blue Square Thing (talk) 13:05, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Argh

The melanesia/et=y still is around like a smelly item of offal - do you think there is ever likely to be a point of resolution (knowing full well that a random genius from perspectives other than ours may well claim authority from a hollow echo chamber and reverse attempts to resolve)

geology/bioregion/ wallace line or whatever - if there was a definitive thing it might... but even oceans are not easily determined (vis a vis the bass strait being in the indian/southern or other oceans for instance as an unresolved against various sources.. (Bazonka has gone quiet in this area unfortunately) ) - I know we have breached this particular barrier to some sense of sanity in the et tags before, perhaps the answer lies in the goon show aphorisms about conversing with the trees, or should that be eliminating into the breeze, it all feels like a sense of the geophysicist I once knew who used to say pick a number, any number when resolving complex oil reservoir surveying problems... JarrahTree 07:14, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

I'm happy to go with what Wikipedia indicates in its Melanesia article, ie the controversy is, relevantly, over whether the island of New Guinea is included; islands further west, such as Timor, are not. Bahnfrend (talk) 07:24, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

In that case, if I read it right, then items about East Timorese rivers in effect are not Melanesia/ET=y bound then? Exterminate (per daleks) then is permittable... JarrahTree 07:32, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

I'm surprised the Melanesia article is so limited. The concept is often extended west, both Indonesia and East Timor have sought status in the Melanesian Spearhead Group in recognition of shared cultural affiliation, for example. Not sure it is a vitally important question for rivers though. CMD (talk) 08:16, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Always good to have other points of view - the rivers example is simply that an example - I am using as a position from way back, maybe ten years and more where there were in some cases extended conversations that were establishing senses of where the various things started and ended - for instance the Indian and Pacific oceans and Indonesia between the two - not just the IMO but also the biologists, anthropologists and others determinations of things such as the wallace line and others in relation to separation of oceania/southeast asia for instance -

I had simply (not with handbooks/good reliable sources to hand) wondered out loud where the delightful conversations about the larger designations that have been used in the last hundred years or so - maritime southeast asia, and all the rest...

Bahfrend and I have had to endure each other's ideas on this in real life conversations, it arose because I was looking at some of the articles he has improved - including the east timor river articles... All in good faith, and in my case elements of hyperbole and not necessarily plotting a big change anywhere, more a sense of curiosity as to what way the wind blows... JarrahTree 08:28, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Aspirations on the part of Indonesian provinces and government agencies to identify with the Melanesian cultural domain was so far from my original point in this, I simply was trying to think about what might have been identification markers that have been used in the past - biology, blood types/malaria resistance, geology, geography, items that are not necessarily endured in political hopes but things that may have delineated by strange arrays of physical identifiers of difference... JarrahTree 08:40, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Indonesia and East Timor are in very different positions in relation to Melanesia. At least for the time being, Indonesia includes the western side of the island of New Guinea, which, as the Melanesia article indicates, is now generally regarded as being part of Melanesia. That would explain why Indonesia is an associated member of the Melanesian Spearhead Group, whereas East Timor is only an observer. Bahnfrend (talk) 06:49, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Kathryn Bryce

Hi - thanks for all your work on expanding Kathryn Bryce's page, but just wanted to flag something - I see you've just edited her infobox and domestic cricket section to show that she only played for Warwickshire in 2017, and Scotland in 2018 and 2019. I'm pretty sure this isn't correct - CricketArchive shows her playing for Warwickshire in the County Championship only in 2018 (one match) and 2019 (seven matches) - not sure if you have access to CricketArchive though. Not sure if this is down to Play-Cricket doing something weird, that site isn't the easiest to navigate at all! But she's definitely playing for Warwickshire here in 2019, and in other matches. Anyway, I just wanted to flag this on your talk page rather than attempting to directly sort it on the article, as I feel that might get a bit edit war-y if we're both working off different sources. Hopefully we can figure something out! Mpk662 (talk) 16:56, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

@Mpk662: Thanks for the heads up. I'm not very familiar with Play-Cricket, and for financial reasons I don't (presently) have access to CricketArchive. I've made appropriate amendments. Feel free to fill in the details about her Warwickshire appearances in 2018 and 2019 - I assume that she was concentrating on her University course in the former year. FYI (ICYHN), I'm now upgrading Sarah Bryce. Bahnfrend (talk) 04:19, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

Wikidata:WikidataCon 2023/Program/Submissions/Tying Wikidata to English Wikipedia – experiences and proposals

Hi Bahnfrend, I’m really looking forward to your presentation. I recently started to integrate wikidata elements in an infobox (for windmills) on the nl-wiki. There is still plenty of push-back in this community versus wikidata. I hope to learn from your experiences. If you need a dry-run audience, feel free to ask. Greetings from Brussels, Belgium SvenDK (talk) 04:55, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

Citing sources

Thanks for your revert of St John's Anglican Church, Albany. I don't want to make a big issue of it and, in the context of things, it's relatively minor. However, I'm not too sure that your approach is correct. In my read of WP:SFN, notes are used where either:

• a citation is shortened , with a fuller detailing of the citation below, in the References section; or
• where more explanation is required, as in WP:FN.

They don't apply in the instance of the this article, as the WP:Bibliography below provides additional information that are not citations - in effect, a WP:Further reading section. Of course, I'm happy to hear your rationale as to why you think otherwise. Just ping me. Thanks. Rangasyd (talk) 01:17, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Article about the Moscow tramway network

Hello! Nice to meet you. I just discovered that you are you are the creator of the article about the Moscow tram. I appreciate your work. I'm aslo interested in this topic. Also, i have some questions for you: 1) How can you came to the idea of creating this page back in 2011? 2) How many times you've been in Moscow? 3) What was your first impression of the Moscow trams? I will be glad to hear from you! Fanatila (talk) 15:01, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

@Fanatila: Thanks for your query. Sorry for the slow response. I created the article a long time ago now. I have an even longer term interest in trams (although we haven't had any of them in my home city, Perth, Western Australia, in my lifetime - maybe that explains my interest). I had also visited Russia, including Moscow, in 2006 (that was my only visit, and my memory of the trams there is a bit hazy now). Most importantly, I found out that the Moscow network was the fourth largest in the world, but that there wasn't yet any English Wikipedia article about it. So I created one, with the assistance of Google translate (I can't speak or read Russian, but Google translate is quite good at translating it into English). Looking at the edit history of that article, it seems that I intended to do more work on it, but never got around to it. Too many other things on my mind, I guess. BTW, I also created quite a lot of other articles about tram networks and trolleybus systems (eg Trams in Lisbon, also in 2011 (I note that I have contributed more than once to that one, although, again, not as much as I originally intended)). I hope that that satisfies your curiosity. Bahnfrend (talk) 12:47, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

If you feel so strongly about creating new embassy articles from foreign language versions, why didn't you do it? I would not do it as I have no knowledge of the origin languages and relying on Google translate is not accurate. LibStar (talk) 23:44, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Tagging @Gonnym, as they were part of the conversation. LibStar (talk) 23:45, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

I posted to oppose deletion of the navboxes because they have links to more than just one article. The fact that not all of the articles are in English is simply not relevant - Wikipedia is an international multilingual activity. I am not in a position to create a new embassy article at the moment, because I have other things to do, including offline. There is no deadline for any Wikipedia article. For as long as the navboxes are still in existence, anyone wanting to read something in English about the relevant embassies can just click on the interlanguage link and use Google translate to translate an approximation of it. Further, anyone interested in creating an article can find its foreign language equivalent more easily while the navboxes still exist. That's why there's an interlanguage links template on English Wikipedia. As for translations, for the record I have created literally hundreds of English Wikipedia articles by translating them from other languages with assistance from Google Translate. It is not difficult to do, even with articles in languages I can neither speak nor read without Google Translate - I have occasionally received compliments from native speakers about the quality of such translations. Bahnfrend (talk) 14:13, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

"I have occasionally received compliments from native speakers about the quality of such translations" Perhaps you are then best placed to create new embassy articles translated from foreign language articles. LibStar (talk) 23:19, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Maybe, but not right now. I'll put them on my (very long) to do list. Bahnfrend (talk) 05:13, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
