Babel template

Hi. In your user page, you have used the native speaker template for English. Since you are Brazilian, even if your level of proficiency in the language is extremely high, I'd recommend you switch to the near-native template. It's a en-4 template, for those who speak English as well as a native, but are in fact not native speakers. Cheers, Redux 02:57, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Speedy deletion

Hi Fbergo. You recently marked several articles for speedy deletion. The reason given was Ad of non-notable company. I don't think that this is an accepted WP:CSD. In my opinion, these articles ought to go to WP:VfD. Pburka 19:11, August 6, 2005 (UTC)

The articles I marked for speedy deletion were all added in a close time period by the same user, who also wrote a self-biographical wikipedia article (this one I added to VfD as recommended by the policy -- K.Grafstein). According to Wikipedia:Deletion_of_vanity_articles, vanity articles which are certain to be non-notable (as was the case - the user was adding the small businesses of his own as articles) may be tagged for speedy deletion. Next time I will use VfD instead, but maybe the policy could be clearer on Ads of non-notable companies (as opposed to people) ?. Regards, Fbergo 00:38, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

As currently worded, the policy only applies to real people (i.e. not fictional characters, companies, etc). There was quite a bit of debate about this, and the general consensus was that the criteria should be as narrow as possible to prevent abuse. Pburka 01:40, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

Yep, I was going to say the same having just noticed this. Could you please take Grafstein-Telecom through the full VFD process, as advertising is not a vaid CSD. Ask me if you need any help. Glad you already responded favorably to using more caution. Thanks! Dmcdevit·t 06:59, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

Someone else already did. Again, I apologize for choosing the wrong method to deal with the case. Fbergo 20:06, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Erico Verissimo

Bom dia,

Desculpe por meu imediatismo. Eu achava que Érico Veríssimo se escrevesse como um nome brasileiro. Já vi que estava errado.

Até,

Olá Fbergo, Eu reparei que está a contribuir em artigos relacionados com a lusofonia e gostaria de convidá-lo para participar na Wikipédia em português, actualmente temos mais de 135 mil artigos. Sua ajuda será muito bem vinda. Se por acaso tiver algum problema ou dúvida deixe uma mensagem na minha página de discussão. Continue com esse bom trabalho, Rei-artur 22:25, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:BluesAtSunset.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BluesAtSunset.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. User:Angr 20:08, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:ZeferinoVaz.JPG

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:ZeferinoVaz.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 11:32, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:AlbertKing1972.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:AlbertKing1972.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 12:06, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I keep trying to leave a note on this talk page and am barred from doing so because of the "spam blacklist". I dont' want to remove content from the page without asking, but you were the last person to edit it. Chubbles 17:39, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

At the time I tried to edit the talk page, there was a link on the page which apparently had been blacklisted since it had been added to the talk page. This made it impossible for anyone to edit the page. Someone seems to have fixed the problem. Chubbles 01:54, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

chronology of cyclist palmares

Hi!

About the chronologicality of the palmares of cyclists: see the Wikipedia Cycling Project biography standard (Wikipedia:WikiProject Cycling/Standard cyclist biography), section palmares. In general, chronological ordering is determined by WP:LOW, which specifically states "earliest first". --EdgeNavidad (talk) 17:01, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

I see that you reverted my edits. I propose that the next step we take is discuss it on the Cycling Project biography standard, instead of going around on wikipedia and reversing ordering. --EdgeNavidad (talk) 17:05, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

I have reverted to your edits, apologies for the misinterpretation. Fbergo (talk) 17:36, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Fbergo! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 138 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Nomination of A Storm to Come for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article A Storm to Come is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

Orphaned non-free image File:Van canto storm to come.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Van canto storm to come.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 18:36, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I have a question about your mark for speedy deletion of the page I created.... I am curious as to when you marked the page to be deleted, as I was not complete with adding the contributions? While I agree that while I was entering this page, there was no information linked to the scholarly contributions, but I have linked this now. Just looking for some insight into your observations. I want to be a good wiki-citizen. I appreciate any further information you could share on your thought process. Thank you Jessshoop (talk) 19:12, 13 October 2016 (UTC) Jessshoop

Pay attention to the sources

Hello, I'm Coltsfan. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Jair Bolsonaro have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Don't remove content which is backed by reliable sources. That constitutes vandalism and, if you persist in this behaviour, sanctions (such as blocking) may be applied. Consider yourself warned. Coltsfan (talk) 20:57, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Again, pay attention to the sources. Regardless of your opinion on The Huffington Post, it's widely considered a reliable source in this wiki. Altering the content of the articles contradicting the sources for your own biasis is vandalism. I advise you to stop it. Coltsfan (talk) 11:32, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

This is your point of view. The information is backed by a WP:RS. If you disagree, discuss it over in the talk page and try to get a consensus before doing the changes. Disruptive editing is consider vandalism and and sanctions might be applied if you choose to ignore the rules for your own biasis. Coltsfan (talk) 12:25, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

Markus Konká ‎

Hi, Fbergo,

I have blanked the article Markus Konká which you recently listed at WP:PNT as {{not English}} for WP:COPYVIO. When you find an article that seems to get created full-blown from nothing, don't forget to check for possible cut-paste copyright violations.

There are probably more sophisticated methods to find these than what I do, but fwiw I just choose a short string of words, maybe 3-7 words, that are unusual or not likely to occur word-for-word in many other places. Then I put that phrase inside double quotes, and search for it in Google. Took me about 15 seconds to find the source of the plagiarism. Hope this helps! Cordially, Mathglot (talk) 02:40, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

• @Mathglot: Hi, thanks for the heads up. I did not notice the copyvio at first and I tagged the language issue through Twinkle. I wasn't aware that twinkle added the article to WP:PNT besides tagging the article body. Fbergo (talk) 12:49, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Error: Reversion of Sakura, Sakura

Your judgement about the merit of changes to my editing of Sakura Sakura’s musical notation may be good, but your statement "correct" is bad judgement. The English grammar and word choices ("resembled", "expression") is outright wrong. I say that the description of modal representation is not quite correct either. For that purpose, I am undoing your reversion. 172.56.38.182 (talk) 01:34, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

Despite being a very minimalistic example (only showing that it works and produces valid output), it serves to demonstrate the usability of the tool with C even if it is mostly used in C++ projects. I do think that the fact that C++ tools are applicable to C because of how C++ still is almost a superset of C is relevant enough for the article in question. If you still disagree, I would really appreciate an explanation of your viewpoint. BernardoSulzbach (talk) 04:00, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

@BernardoSulzbach: C is not a subset of C++ [1]. Programming languages are formal languages, and there is no such thing as "similar enough" when evaluating language correctness. Clang is a C, C++ and Objective-C front-end to LLVM, and it has the grammar of each of those languages properly coded separatedly. It doesn't parse C as an accident of parsing C++. Claiming in an encyclopedia that C is close enough to C++ that a tool built only for C++ will work for C, especially when it comes to checking code correctness, is misleading and incorrect. Fbergo (talk) 12:23, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

@Fbergo: I agree with all your points and that's why I used "almost a superset". However I see now why my first statement may suggest that C++ tools universally work for C and how that may just mislead the readers. Thank you for your time. BernardoSulzbach (talk) 15:05, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Vandalism from the user posting this.

Hi Fbergo, Even from edit 1 of this user (and 123.243.100.66, the same real life person edits from here, too - no offence) to the most recent, any edits other users (like you, but more than a few others, too) thought was vandalism and from one of the 2 above IP's was just pure opinion on how to write things right (excuse the pun). Officially, vandalism is intentional, but no edits were intentionally made to worsen the article. 211.27.126.189 (talk) 19:25, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

@211.27.126.189: Hi, I apologize for my treatment in this matter, which was too harsh. Please mind that wikipedia articles should be consistently styled. The greatest issue in all this was the representation of integral scores. Wikipedia should keep its style consistent. I know that some websites reporting on the WCC report scores as "1.0 - 1.0" (such as chess.com), but this is not wikipedia's style and there is a large number of articles with the current style. When I accused you of vandalism, I did use the incorrect term, what I had in mind was disruptive editing. Welcome to wikipedia and thanks for contributing. (I will also post a copy of this to your talk page, as I'm not sure whether the ping template notifies IP accounts). Fbergo (talk) 13:31, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

1. Disruptive editing is also intentional. 2. I like Chess.com style, not Wikipedia where it should be changed. 3. I also edit, again as a non shared IP account, under 123.243.100.66. Vandalism messages were also posted there, much as they weren't meant to. 4. Other than blanking the talk page of this IP account and possibly the other, I as one real life person haven't done other vandalism. Blanking a talk page won't make someone report it, thankfully.211.27.126.189 (talk) 19:58, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Apology retracted. This user is an idiot who is purposefully deteriorating the structure of an article of an ongoing important event. To hell with people who won't bother to sign in to edit. Fbergo (talk) 21:28, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

In light of the ongoing talk page discussion on framework for future games, for which the troublemaker Melbourne IP has failed to gain consensus, I have reported them at WP:ANEW. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 22:08, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

@CaradhrasAiguo: Thanks for the notice and for reporting. Fbergo (talk) 22:22, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

1. Nothing disruptive from me was purposeful. 2. I don't choose to not have an account to limit blocks imposed on me. 3. My block is over and I've agreed to seek consensus since then. 4. I don't know how this is vandalism (I undid the strikethrough because of this - I will need to be explained on why this is vandalism). 5. I though troublemakers only do intentionally bad stuff, not unintentionally bad stuff. 6. I thought Chess.com is more reliable than the guardian (in fact, there's a place in the match article where it seems as though there are too many viewpoints on what move 24 of game 8 is - I don't think too many people can make out how bad the move is by Caruana). 7. How does one know where in the world an IP address is as a Wikipedian?211.27.126.189 (talk) 11:20, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Tracking an IP address down to a city block is the simplest thing in the world. Fbergo (talk) 12:01, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

1. Define city block. 2. If you thought I was analysing chess positions on my own, I didn't think of putting the findings out onto Wikipedia. I find that some of what I talk about here is also talked about elsewhere , also with you. Is that OK or should it all be moved to on of those places? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.27.126.189 (talk) 12:20, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

BTW The content in the post starting with the words 'Apology retracted' is at least partially if not completely incorrect especially with editing logging out and the related hell (it's nowhere near hell even if it were the worst possible thing on Wikipedia which of course isn't based on the contributions of IP's like 76.117.247.55). Edits aren't related to why I don't plan on getting an account (the only thing that is related is that I currently don't think I'd have permission to get an account and as a result I might get used to editing as an IP in the future no matter what). Speaking of headers I will either use them in conjunction with commenting them out or not at all from now on although that said they still wouldn't look ugly to me on the article (I wasn't purposefully deteriorating anything in fact I thought what I was inserting had been done for previous matches). If you must agree on how bad I am please use some milder terms because I don't think I was being that bad in fact you were told by others that such terms were violating WP:BITE. This post in short form: The apology for at least some part could've stayed unretracted.211.27.126.189 (talk) 11:14, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Why I don't think you should have reverted on a talk page

Hi, You made the edit at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:World_Chess_Championship_2018&oldid=871333323 with the edit summary: talk pages are not forums about the subject I honestly wonder whether adding the information that was listed in the same section will break consistency guidelines or not. I'm not editing on the talk page just to discuss the subject, maybe I have some useful input on that topic (no offence). Thanks!211.27.126.189 (talk) 11:02, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

WP:TALKNO: Talk pages are not a forum for the subject of the article. Your opinions are irrelevant and your edits are just pollution of the article and its talk page. Fbergo (talk) 11:13, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Quoting form WP:TALKNO: 'the talk page is for discussing how to improve the article' That's no different to what I want to do on that section.

I noticed you made this edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:World_Chess_Championship_2018&oldid=872479140 I think my summary to the edit I made just before the one I posted is sufficient grounds for keeping it on the talk page.211.27.126.189 (talk) 11:05, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

Infobox clutter

Hi, I think this link for downloading latest release specification "by one click" in Python article is very helpful, and important. But I do not recognize a place for it. Can I make the "3.9.2" string to become 3.9.2, to not be a clutter for the Infobox? or do you have any idea about somewhere else this link should be placed? or totally should be removed? Anyway, I think this link is very helpful for the article, isn't that? Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 16:37, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

"Adding external links to an article or user page for the purpose of promoting a website or a product is not allowed, and is considered to be spam.", from WP:LINKSPAM.

Aadhar edit

Hi, this edit (Aadhar) is not redundant. And it does not contradict information. While the lead of the article talks about what services it is not mandatory for, it does not mention the ones for which it is mandatory (such as income tax, welfare etc.) I plan to add this information as well.

The lead of the article should be short, simple, and direct, per MOS:LEAD. Aadhaar enrollment being mandatory for each specific use is discussed throughout the article and it is a lengthy and contentious issue (in India, not wikipedia), subject of several judicial rulings in India. Any statements about the matter should definitely be properly sourced, per WP:V. Editors should not add unsourced information to wikipedia. Adding vague statements to cover up for the lack of sources is not an improvement to wikipedia articles. Fbergo (talk) 19:08, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in COVID-19, broadly construed. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Several of the claims in that article have conflicting scientific results, such as the Ivermectin one. Selectively picking only the reliable sources that fit the narrative is bad faith, to say the least. Putting together a string of cherry-picked sources to back up authoritarian measures as an encyclopedic article taints Wikipedia's purpose and credibility. Fbergo (talk) 10:49, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Why did you remove my lead in JavaScript?

Every programming language article has in its lead section where the language comes from: which year, who designed it, what does its name mean. I added this for JavaScript as I opened that article only to read on its origin.

Now it’s especially important for JavaScript to contain its name origin in the lead as it has such a confusing name!

Please explain why you deleted that section. Especially since this is inconsistent with other programming language articles.—Homei (talk) 23:28, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

The guidelines for lead sections are given in MOS:LEAD. Leads should introduce the subject being brief and not too specific. The history of Javascript is detailed in the section that immediately follows. The original name LiveScript was a temporary internal name, dropped after the beta release, and is now just history trivia. This is different from the B language that originated C, which was an actual different programming language that preceded it.

The origin of Javascript's name is adequately described in the "Creation at Netscape" subsection that immediately follows. Javascript is a scripting language and its design heavily borrowed syntax elements from the Java language, which was being introduced at that time. It is not confusing at all.

January 2023 - Continuous Disruptive Editing

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Ford Landau, you may be blocked from editing. Fbergo (talk) 23:25, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Many user subpages host content in draft form intended to eventually make it into article space, so fixing disambiguation links in these cases tends to preempt those links from entering article space. Apologies for my mistake in this case. Cheers! BD2412 T 15:44, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
