Vandalism

I'd like to apologize for any misconstrued spelling of I may, but regarding this, I'd like to inform you and the community that my personal info on both my phone and laptop have been and are hacked unto and are still utilizing my docs to impersonate me when infact, it is not me. Str13tlife (talk) 00:50, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Forrest Mars Sr

The correction to this information is not here say, or unsubstantiated. It is clear history that he had routinely taken credit for this product, when it was Frank Mars who created it in the 20s. It is documented that he even admitted it was his father all along. Mollym80 (talk) 21:51, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

@Mollym80: The change you are persistently making is not verifiable because you are not providing a reliable source for the change. Unless you can provide a source that clearly states that Mars merely "took credit" for the products and launch mentioned, rather than that he introduced those products and initiated that launch, as currently stated in the lead section, stop changing the article. "It is documented" is not sufficient unless you cite a reliable source that provides that documentation. General Ization Talk 21:59, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
@Mollym80: Also, do not provide false edit summaries for your edits. This edit clearly did not fix a "typo" as you claimed. General Ization Talk 22:16, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

My apologies. I should have put erroneous information, I couldn't find something that fit. The information is erroneous and should not be attributed to him, but to his father. Please help me in providing accurate corrections, moving forward. Mollym80 (talk) 23:51, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

@Mollym80: Please see [1], which describes Forrest Mars' role in creating the Milky Way bar which was subsequently manufactured by his father. I see no reason to contradict this writer's research. The Mars company's own Web site describes this as "1923: Father and Son Collaborate and Launch New Candy Bar". As to the other products mentioned in the lead, I don't see any reason to challenge the claim that Forrest, not his father, introduced them, especially since the Mars bar was introduced in England by Forrest's company, not in the US by Frank's company, and Frank Mars died c. 1935, before the other products mentioned were even brought to market. General Ization Talk 00:45, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

A Fortune article from March 31, 2013, contradicts it. It's cool though. Mollym80 (talk) 02:16, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

Emigrated to

Hi, regarding this, see the literature:

Google Scholar Books
"emigrated to" 105.000 1.950.000
"immigrated to" 107.000 693.000

Clearly, according to the literature, the original was correct. - DVdm (talk) 22:44, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

@DVdm: Please see the definitions of emigrate and immigrate. The fact that the terms are commonly misused/interchanged doesn't mean we should perpetuate the error. General Ization Talk 22:49, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
Yes, see a dictionary: [2]: "to emigrate from Ireland to Australia." - DVdm (talk) 22:52, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
Right. If you want to keep the long-standing term, then the sentence should be revised to say that Bohm emigrated from the US to Brazil. General Ization Talk 22:54, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
And many more at [3]. Start with [4]: "The family left Czechoslovakia in 1968 and emigrated to America.".
I don't think the from-part should be explitly included, as it is clear from where he emigrated. - DVdm (talk) 22:59, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong. And no, Bohm's country of origin is not otherwise identified in the Feynman article. However, I'm not so invested as to want to argue about it further. General Ization Talk 23:02, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
The reason why I'm a bit invested in it, is because once there was anon with the single purpose to change every occurrence of "emigrated to" to "immigrated to" — on the entire project. IIRC the user got blocked. I had saved the above stats table on my sandbox. I just had to copy and update the numbers here . Cheers. - DVdm (talk) 23:10, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
Well, that's unfortunate, as the IP was technically correct, the common misuse of the terms notwithstanding. I still think the wording I proposed is a reasonable compromise that is consistent with the meaning of the term emigrate. General Ization Talk 23:14, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
Actually, it all depends on direction, on where the person who is writing or reading the sentence, finds themselves. To emigrate is to go away (direction outward, Latin: migrare ex ...). To immigrate is to come in (direction inward, Latin: migrare in ...). In an article in a primarily American encyclopedia about an American (-Feynman-) one can assume that the reader feels being in the US, so when there is talk about someone migrating away from the US to somewhere else, the natural expression would be to emigrate. That's probably why we have a Category:American emigrants to Brazil as opposed to a Category:American immigrants to Brazil, Category:American emigrants in Brazil or Category:American immigrants in Brazil. Follow the links, and look at what happened in the first one. See this discussion - DVdm (talk) 10:03, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Um, no. A verb does not change its meaning, and the choice of a verb does not become more or less accurate or appropriate, depending on the position of the reader or writer, unless the reader/writer is the subject or object of the verb (neither is the case here). In the sentence at issue, Bohm emigrated from the US. It doesn't matter where you or I are located as to whether he "emigrated" or "immigrated"; the word choice is determined by its meaning (to leave versus to enter). The FOOian discussion was a very specialized case dealing with the construction (of categories) of the form <nationality> <emigrants or immigrants> to <country>; in that case, Bohm would have been correctly described as an "American emigrant to Brazil," because he emigrated from the U.S. to Brazil (the word from being omitted because it is implied by Bohm's stated nationality). That particular construction has nothing to do with the present case. General Ization Talk 13:53, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Also please note that at Wikipedia, we cannot assume that we know "where the person who is writing or reading the sentence finds themselves" in our word choices or their evaluation. Both the writer and the reader could be anywhere at all, in the same or in a different country with respect to the actor in the sentence; the words should not need to, and will not, change for readers or writers located in one place versus another.

How did you start editing

Hello!

just curious about yourself as I see you’ve edited a lot of things. What inspires you to do this? Just a 20 year old kid looking for some knowledge in life.

Tim Bachman died in London, UK - really?

Hi. I've been following the Tim Bachman page after his recent death. You changed his place of death to London, UK (unexpected as I haven't heard he'd been living there). No mention of a place of death in any of the media reports I've found, and your change didn't note one. Can I ask where you came across this detail? Thanks. SheamusPatt (talk) 02:00, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

@SheamusPatt: Uh, no, that was not my edit. This was my edit, the last edit in that series. Your diff includes 8 edits by 7 editors, and you'll need to look at the page history to see who added the place of death. General Ization Talk 02:07, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Excuse me, sir..... I just told about these LTA Lampung which is very, very silly and make us frustated.... He always adding any wrong, false and fake information about geography of Indonesia (since that disruptive and cross-wiki vandalist user domiciled in Indonesia) and across country around the world on this Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects since 2016.....

pls reach out to the other editor, before blindly reverting and wasting people's time https://www.tcs.com/who-we-are/leadership/k-krithivasan Fostera12 (talk) 16:26, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

@Fostera12: Please see WP:BURDEN. The TCS Web site is not an "independent, published source" and thus does not serve as a reliable source for this content. In any case, you did not cite that or any other source inline with the content you added, which is why the content was removed and a notice was left on your Talk page to explain the removal.

Addition of references to the claim in the "Lagos, Nigeria" page. Thanks.

Hello! To reiterate, as said via private message, thank you for the alert and the tutorial pages linked. I've now added citations. "Probable" was referencing historical theories, of course. It couldn't have been anything else. There seem to be a few "citation needed" alerts for other sentences in the Lagos page, long before my edit, like: "The remainder of modern-day Nigeria was seized in 1887, and when the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria was established in 1914, Lagos became its capital, continuing as such after the country's independence from Britain in 1960 [citation needed]". Hence why I hadn't really bothered with the effort, but I understand that it's always best practice and now the information presented is of a higher confidence and quality. If there's any other correction needed, please let me know.

Administrators' newsletter – June 2023

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2023).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, editors indefinitely site-banned by community consensus will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.
  • As a part of the Wikimedia Foundation's IP Masking project, a new policy has been created that governs the access to temporary account IP addresses. An associated FAQ has been created and individual communities can increase the requirements to view temporary account IP addresses.

Technical news

  • Bot operators and tool maintainers should schedule time in the coming months to test and update their tools for the effects of IP masking. IP masking will not be deployed to any content wiki until at least October 2023 and is unlikely to be deployed to the English Wikipedia until some time in 2024.

Arbitration

  • The arbitration case World War II and the history of Jews in Poland has been closed. The topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland is subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction.
