Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Luis de la Puente Uceda has been reverted.
Your edit here to Luis de la Puente Uceda was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://ildepuperu.blogspot.com/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 05:02, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Faulkner County, Arkansas Registered Historic Place stubs

After I finished populating Category:Faulkner County, Arkansas Registered Historic Place stubs using AWB, the size of this category has only reached 33 stubs. While there may be 1 or 2 not categorized under Category:National Register of Historic Places in Faulkner County, Arkansas, I doubt that there are the 17 necessary to bring this category up to the minimum of 50 for keeping around a stub category. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 04:38, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I was greatly surprized to find 57 stus for this one; however, I'm done sorting through the state-lenel NRHP stub category, and Category:Conway County, Arkansas Registered Historic Place stubs (dispite having many additions in the manual stage) is only at 30 stubs. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 06:40, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Brooks-British Range tundra

The article Brooks-British Range tundra has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No text. As a result, conveys no encyclopedic information.

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.

Your problems with PetScan

Having read your issues with PetScan in the comment you crossed out at WSS/P, I can tell you that I have the same problem occasionally. The issue is that, in some browsers, you end up copying some invisible character; you can see this by, after getting the screen with 0 results, clicking on the "with" in "Link to a pre-filled form for the query you just ran with and without auto-run" above the list, and looking at the new URL - specificly look in the categories section (everything between the "categories=" and the next ampersand) for any non-ASCII characters - these will look like a percent followed by 2 hex digits (standard digits, along with uppercase letters up to F); if you have multiple categories, they will be separated by "%0D%0A", and otherwise you shouldn't have any, in this section, in between category names. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 09:00, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProjects relating to the United States

Defying orders to the contrary, I wanted to help answer some of your questions about adding additional states to Template:WikiProject United States. When I was still actively editing my attempt was to try to do just that, to include all the inactive and defunct projects and any other US related ones that wanted to into a central banner similar to Military history and Biography, not to Mention Africa, Asia and a number of others. Hyperbole of a corporate takeover aside, my intention was to use the WPUS project as a central base from which to monitor and maintain articles on the other related projects. Working from a central location allows better visibility and the ability to ask questions of a larger community; standardize and eliminate redundancy, etc.. Some did not agree and sought to destroy me and eventually succeeded after years of fighting them and standing up against bullies for the editors on this site like you who are actively improving it. Those projects like Oregon, Florida, Alabama and others all decided they didn't want to participate. In most cases it was one or 2 people ONLY and most of them are now inactive as you noticed.

So I say that to explain some of the history but my advice to you is let the Wikiprojects relating to the United States die, especially the WPUS one. They are plutonium and anyone who actively tries to improve them will be attacked and bullied by other related projects like USRoads and Wisconsin (they share a lot of the same members). My further advice to you is to find something better to do, don't waste your time editing like I did only to have the community and the WMF spit in your face. I did over 1 million edits, created hundreds of articles, etc and now I am globally WMF banned because I refused to be bullied. Take my advice friend, get out while you still have some sanity, this place isn't worth your time. Cheers! Kumioko. Clarityindarkness (talk) 00:09, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Louisville "semi-active"

This is to request to stop placing the semi-active tag on Wikipedia:WikiProject Louisville. It adds unnecessary bulk and doesn't really provide useful information to the project. Also, this wasn't discussed on the project's talk page. It's best not to change projects without the consent of those in them. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 18:35, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, no problem. I put it back on because your reversion was a cosmetic complaint, so I thought you didn't object to the status. I would definitely leave a message on the talk page if I was going to propose a big change like a merger, deletion, or mark the project as defunct, but not if, as far as I can tell, a wikiproject I'm patrolling meets any of the criteria for a status change. -Furicorn (talk) 19:49, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Without debating the usefulness of the "semi-active" status, there had recently been an addition to the Requests subpage, so effectively the project was active when you added the banner. Subpages should count in this figuring. There's also information automatically updating on the front page, such as articles most edited in the project, which updates daily. This is a somewhat automated, self-directing project at this point. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 14:54, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Highland Park, Los Angeles

Regarding this change, what is the reason? The Wayback Machine version does not have the street boundaries, and the Mapping L.A. version may in the future be upgraded or modified, so it is a better one to use. Thank you BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 02:37, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@BeenAroundAWhile: I was playing around with the archive-url parameter, but I hadn't yet learned about the dead-url parameter. I changed the references so the regular url should now be set as primary. -Furicorn (talk) 05:57, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

List of Missouri native plants

Hi, I'm a New Page Reviewer and I noticed you created a page called: List of Missouri native plants. Do you plan to expand on this further, please? If so, I think you would have been better off working on it in draft form. It certainly needs an explanation to say how complete it is, as it relies on just one public infomration website listing only 'common' trees and shrubs. Your list comes across as a definitive list, though it's anything but, and never likely to be so unless you use better sources to base that list upon. I therefore think its title is very misleading right now, and probably needs to be changed if you don't plan to work on it further. Why not name it: List of Missouri common native trees and shrubs, or something similar?

My personal view is that incomplete and unsortable species lists from a large geographic area are of no use to anyone on Wikipedia, except perhaps as vanity projects for their creators, or as an 'Aunt Sally' to get someone else to do the real hard work in creating a proper one. If common names in a sortable format and scientific names, too, aren't included, they're rather a waste of time altogether. If you do fancy making your list sortable and including scientific names, here's a list in a format I would recommend: List of species and habitats of principal importance in England. This kind of thing does need a bit more effort to create in Excel and can then simply be pasted into one's sandbox for testing once completed. But then what's the point of an incomplete list? Regards from the UK Nick Moyes (talk) 19:54, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Nick Moyes: Well I certainly agree the article can be improved, so if you are testing the waters to help out, I don't WP:OWN the article, and would welcome your collaboration. Your example looks nice, although I am aspiring to List of California native plants, which is slightly different. The MO Department of Conservation is a good source, and here is the link to their list of flowers, grasses, and non woody plants. I'll probably add stuff slowly. -Furicorn (talk) 21:00, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It may be a good source of information on common species, but is not a definitive list, so is a rather poor starting point for an article with that title. You could change it to "List of common species" as I suggested. But thank you for adding scientific names. I'd urge you to explain the limitations or basis of that list in the introduction, as this will aid users. Unfortunately I have other priorities based on rather more definitive species lists which prevents me from assisting you with this one, sorry.

Tariff: Customs Duty vs Price Schedule

Hey there, Furicorn! I hope you're doing well. I've edited a page you were working on in the past, Tariff. On the most part, I tried to implement the changes you suggested, and I've explained them just under your Talk page entry. Could you give me your opinion on it? (Also on the language, my sentences can get very messed up sometimes.) I'd appreciate it a lot! :)

Looking at your talk page, I'm not sure if you aren't taking a wikibreak right now, but I wanted to inform you nevertheless and thank you for the good groundwork with wikidata entries etc. Take this barnstar as a "thanks" for your contribution. :) Se'taan (talk) 12:08, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey again, I wrote a not-so-important reply on Talk:Tariff. TLDR: I think you're right with everything. :) It doesn't really need an answer, I just forgot to mention you, so I'm leaving a note here. Take care! Se'taan (talk) 21:03, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject EU and European Patent Office-related templates

Hi Furicorn. Thanks for adding the "WikiProject EU" template to the following talk pages: Template talk:EPC 1973 Article‎, Template talk:EPC 1973 Rule, Template talk:EPC Article, Template talk:EPC Rule, Template talk:EPO Case law book, Template talk:EPO Guidelines, and Template talk:EPO Register. However, since the European Patent Organisation is not legally bound to the European Union (EU) and has several members that are not EU states (incl. Switzerland, Turkey, and Norway), I would suggest not including these templates into the "WikiProject EU" to avoid any confusion. --Edcolins (talk) 10:25, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

link interchange

with respect to concerned individual removing my link, how it is possible to interchange the valid link when contribution was added by me on below read?

Bray, Stan (2004). The compact lathe (2nd rev. ed.). Poole: Special Interest Model Books. ISBN 1854862278. OCLC 63184337. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vrishaek (talk • contribs) 13:00, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Vrishaek: I saw that the link @Dragerok: added ar Lathe for that book was to a commercial website. The book seems like a good addition, and I felt I could help the contribution avoid being seen as spam, so I used a book citation template to create an ISBN link and to link to a Worldcat entry. If people can't find the book at a nearby library via Worldcat, then they are free to search the ISBN and purchase the book wherever is most convenient for them. Per the wikipedia policy WP:LINKSTOAVOID, item 5 recommends avoiding links to commercial websites, and item 15 indicates a preference for linking to noncommercial sites when possible. So to summarize, the book seemed relevant, but the specific site linked to was not preferred. Please feel free to continue this conversation, I only ask that you sign future comments with four tildes ~~~~ -Furicorn (talk) 18:44, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Furicorn: thanks for replying, but I have not seen the same case in response to amazon and they are not an NGO. Considering the library, my website is more than relevant against the world cat one in terms of not being spammy. We are a big ecomm. org with lakhs of books on all subjects/categories. My added link is just to highlight further read, not that its rate or offer is mentioned. The commercial value is not shown anywhere,

so kindly look towards the contribution from me to have the same respect what you deem right. thank you Vrishaek

@Vrishaek: I have nothing in particular against your store - I would definitely consider Amazon links spam, and if I saw Amazon links I would repoint those towards worldcat as well. I guess I have been pretty lucky to not see any links like that. Also, I'm pretty sure it's looked on extra unfavourably to put a link to your own store, and if I were you, I would think twice about doing that. You could easily get reported for editing with a conflict of interest. -Furicorn (talk) 05:11, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Furicorn: thanks for quick revert, but there are so many amazon & other links all around here, and as already said we are not a spam site nor do I want to get other relevant site links to be removed. All the links are being called as referrers with no money mentioned anywhere. It is just the relevancy I am talking about. If money/offer was added then that could be totally called as commercial. And based on that I gladly would have not even disturbed you on my contribution. I am not here to conflict any interests but that it must be deemed right to add my source as per contribution. thank you Vrishaek

@Vrishaek: If you want to have a discussion on the Lathe page about whether it's appropriate to have a link to a commercial website for a book, we can have that discussion. I don't think a lot of other wikipedians are going to disagree with me, but maybe I'm mistaken. Also, I don't think any there are links to commercial sites for any of the other books on Lathe. -Furicorn (talk) 05:36, 15 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Furicorn: pls dont mind my saying this, but I think that u are thinking that if u consider my this one source/contribution this time. Then next time again I will bother u to consider another one of the contribution. This in actual is not the case, but just the relevancy and contribution. There is no point for full discussion because the contribution is same as compared to already told on amazon and other such sites which all are relevant and shown all around (not just lathe). And I don't want that thing to happen to get their links removed. We are just referrers is the basic point. Mainly it is the books further read to be considered as per the source added. thanks

@Furicorn: ? Vrishaek

@Vrishaek: Not sure what you are asking. If you think the storefront should be added to the ISBN search when people are looking for books, you can start a new section to request a store be added here. -Furicorn (talk) 20:17, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Furicorn: u are not sure, what does that mean? I was waiting for a reply for last days and now u being a hypo-critic reply me with requesting link on some other page. If that is the case then that link added by you, worldcat is also not called for. Where is the intelligence in that? As the contribution is mine so is the source. The double standards showed by you regarding other e-comm sites shown all over wikipedia, it means some other intentions are going on.

You can call your seniors to talk to me on phone and I'll show them where the true standards are going on each and every wiki page. It is said that diplomacy only works with truth and some faults, but you are only faulting me even after seeing your hypocrisy shown all over wikipedia pages. I have wasted enough time with your hypocrisy/dishonesty, now ask your seniors to give me a final answer. Vrishaek

@Vrishaek: Hey buddy, chill out. You didn't ask me any questions in your message, so was I supposed to magically guess that you wanted a response?

You don't own your edit.
This is not some personal vendetta against your ecommerce website. I Improved the edit with the {{Cite book}} template, and the default link it creates (because it's the preferred source on Wikipedia...) is to Worldcat. Because worldcat can tell you if a library nearby has the book you can access. I don't know the situation in India, so perhaps libraries are difficult to access, but certainly in the industrialized world libraries are fairly common and are typically free.
I improved your edit because I get notifications about changes to Lathe, and none of the pages I watch or regularly edit ever have ecommerce links.
I'm not sure why you're threatening me, and I don't have a boss at wikipedia because I don't work for wikipedia, I'm just a volunteer. I disagreed with you about the relevance of the bookseller to the particular page, and it seems like you think I am misinterpreting wikipedia policy. If you want a better resolution than this argument, you'll have to start a new section on Talk:Lathe. The rest of the community will weigh in and we'll find out how the matter is settled. I won't be responding to any further communication on this topic on my talk page, because based on your bizarre response to my attempt to help you, I don't think this discussion is going anywhere productive. If you do continue to try to bug me however, I will open up that discussion myself.
Separately, despite your weird hostility to me, I've opened up a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Book sources to include Mynextbook.in as part of the ISBN search. Feel free to contribute or not to that discussion.

-Furicorn (talk) 07:10, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Furicorn: thank you for your 5th point & I factly hope that my source gets the same respect what others receive here. And regarding your other points on India and degrading my country un-industrialised, you off course don't know about it. Next, i don't threaten nor was my weird hostility showing/shown, I talk straight with full courtesy. There are many things to discuss about, but at the moment I factly hope.Vrishaek

		The Civility Barnstar
		For showing exceptional patience and civility toward the user above and taking the time to explain how Wikipedia works and directing them to appropriate venues to achieve their goals. It's well beyond basic standards of courtesy in such a case. Daask (talk) 14:33, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Afd of Souris-Red-Rainy Water Resource Region

I've closed the AfD you opened on this. AfD is for articles where a debate is necessary before deletion, not for routine maintenance. For those kind of cases you can use a CSD tag, see WP:CSD G6 in particular. In any case, we always keep a redirect of page titles with dashes from the page with hyphens because of the difficulty of typing dashes in the search box. You should also be aware that cut-and-paste moving of pages is generally not allowed because the edit history of the page must be preserved for attribution reasons. The only reason I have not undone your move is because you were the only person to edit the page making the attribution issue moot. In future please use the move button to change page names. See WP:MOVE if you don't know how to do this.

This page probably should be moved again because of a capitalisation issue in the title. Our style on Wikipedia is to capitalise only the first word and proper nouns in titles, see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization). Thus, the title should be Souris–Red–Rainy water resource region. There seem to be a whole bunch of related articles with this problem. SpinningSpark 22:49, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Spinningspark: Thanks for the heads up. I'd definitely be on board with any page moving for capitalization correction purposes. -Furicorn (talk) 00:01, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Xx236: Thanks for your help! I ultimately don't know if they are official or anything, but someone else on my talk page made it sound like it's normal practice, and that redirecting the name spelled with regular dashes makes it easier for people to search for article titles written with en-dashes. I think at the very least that suggestion makes logical sense. -Furicorn (talk) 08:50, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited South Atlantic–Gulf water resource region, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Withlacoochee River (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:12, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Election stub templates

Hi Furicorn! Would you mind not adding templates or cats to the big (enormous) list of stub types until they've been created? There's a "To be created" page attached to the stub sorting project where you can list them, or you can just create them yourself if you like. Thanks.

@Pegship: Yep, sorry about that, I was trying to create them all and then I forgot about them. I'll put them in the TBC page going forward. -Furicorn (talk) 09:51, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Pegship: Hey I don't think I added any cats, but the upmerged stub templates that were created aren't showing up on the stub list anymore as upmerged. {{Colorado-election-stub}} and {{Florida-election-stub}} for example. -Furicorn (talk) 09:57, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template sandbox

Your recent edits to {{Template sandbox}} had the unintended side effect of causing almost 100 user sandbox pages to get categorized as Category:Stub categories, because the embedded "upmerged stub category" and "parent-only stub category" templates automatically pushed the "stub categories" category through to every single page that's transcluding the template sandbox. You need to be careful that any edits you make to the sandbox page don't accidentally cause sandbox pages to get categorized as articles — so please wrap any embedded templates inside the {{Suppress categories}} template.

I saw your work on articles related to anarchism (i.e., your source work at Talk:Mao-Spontex) and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to watch our noticeboard for Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, which is a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!

And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider expanding a stub, adopting a cleanup category, or participating in one of our current formal discussions.

Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 13:47, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Mar presencial

Hello, Furicorn. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Mar presencial".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 15:26, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Abbott Branch

A tag has been placed on Abbott Branch, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It is a disambiguation page which either: disambiguate only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)"; or disambiguate zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title. (See section G14 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. 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 00:03, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
