Hotel Northampton moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Hotel Northampton, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Information icon Hi GuardianH! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Information icon Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief.

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Tick Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! Llll5032 (talk) 05:42, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did at Dixie, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Llll5032 (talk) 03:14, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Before leaving a message on a talk page criticizing a user for not citing a reliable source, please specify what specific change you had in mind—broad overgeneralizations like "do not change or add a without citing a reliable source" rather than "please add a reliable source to x" do nothing. I'm not sure why you're following my edits either, my suspicion is that you have become intrigued into my content—for which I am flattered, but unfortunately such a fascination would be a violation of WP:HARASS. Here are some examples of constructive criticism that I mentioned earlier:
I. "Hey Llll5032, Please do not add or cite copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder, like you did in your edits to Imperium: The Philosophy of History and Politics." (bad scenario)
II. "Hey LIII5032, Your edit to Imperium: The Philosophy of History and Politics has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. You flew a little too close to the Black Sun on this one." (good scenario).
My edits to Dixie were pretty straightforward and the citations were common knowledge and spoke for themselves (i.e. assertion: the term "Dixie" was popularized by music --> [examples of popular music containing or using the term "Dixie"]), though it is not surprising you did not identify it as such, given you have not edited the article Dixie before and, I assume, have little or merely cursory knowledge of the background behind it. GuardianH (talk) 03:30, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
I apologize for the lack of clarity. I have added a "citation needed" tag to the article. The language is the template's. Llll5032 (talk) 03:50, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Joshua Katz (classicist), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page New York.

Prefix's for SCOTUS justices

I've noticed you've been adding the prefix "Justice" to the articles of Supreme Court justices. You are attempting start a new established practice and custom, and it has been reverted by some who disagree. I think the best thing for you to do is to raise this issue at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject United States courts and judges so the broader community can consider your propositions.

Adding homicide series navbox to Abortion?

Hey, GH. Can you explain a little more what you were trying to do with this edit? You explained at the article talk that you didn't do it to make a political point, but it's very difficult for me to see it as anything else. Valereee (talk) 14:57, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

I believe that, whenever possible, an article that is a part of a series should contain the sidebar for that series. As such, if an article doesn't have the sb for that series, I usually add it when I can—feel free to check my contributions, I have a series of edits titled 'added sb', 'sb', etc. GuardianH (talk) 15:10, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
Abortion is part of the series on homicide? Can you point me at that? Valereee (talk) 15:21, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
The template included Abortion under Non-Criminal Homicide. See here. GuardianH (talk) 15:23, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
Ah, I see. Hm, weirdly there seem to be different versions of this sb. The one at Foeticide doesn't mention abortion. Hm. This probably needs a discussion. Thanks for your attention! I'd definitely be careful about this one. Valereee (talk) 16:07, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
No problem. GuardianH (talk) 16:07, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

DYK for Edward Rand

On 7 October 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Edward Rand, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that medievalist Edward Rand rang the doorbell of Harvard president Charles William Eliot and asked him: "I would like to go to Harvard; do you have any money?" The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Edward Rand. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Edward Rand), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

New Michael Sugure Article thanks

Hi GH, thank you for starting the Michael Sugrue page! I hope we all can make a case for notability. I admire him a great deal, and also was incredibly blessed to take a (virtual) class from him in Summer 2022. You weren't possibly in the class too? Brad606 (talk) 21:04, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

No worries! I didn't take a class with Sugrue; I am merely just a watcher of his philosophy videos. I was taken aback by the fact we didn't have an article on him already, I am so glad you liked it. GuardianH (talk) 11:49, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
He's an impressive man, full of advice and wisdom. The videos being posted here in October were from the summer class about 50 of us took from him. I hope we can make the case for Notability of his article. See the talk page for the latest. I'd say some notable subject-matter expert should write about him! Not sure if you have any ideas. Brad606 (talk) 03:54, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
He is almost certainly a very intelligent man. Furthermore, he is also a clear and unpretentious speaker who expresses his thoughts cogently—something that current professors, much less retired ones, can seldom do even now. I intend to continue expanding the article and finding more sources but I am currently preoccupied with some other articles I would like to work on and am tied with some schoolwork; I've got some ideas but please feel free to add anything interesting should you find it! GuardianH (talk) 04:04, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for the encouragement! Will see what I can find. Good luck on your schoolwork and other things here. I am glad there is someone out there in the Wide World who has these interests you do, and also takes the time to improve Wikipedia! Brad606 (talk) 17:07, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Post nominal letters and British biographies

Hi GuardianH, please don't alter the format of post-nominal letters as you did at John Beazley. As per WP:POSTNOM, the Arbitration Committee has ruled that editors should not change an article from one guideline-defined style to another. It is not an error for them to be 100% and separated by commas. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 13:29, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Actually, you've made a fair few edits to British biographies that appear to be based of incorrect assumptions. For example, it is not "condensing" to turn All Souls College, Oxford, Faculty of Classics, University of Oxford, St John's College, Oxford, and Brasenose College, Oxford into University of Oxford. This is like condensing University of California, Berkeley and University of California, Santa Cruz into one University of California. Oxford and Cambridge are weird universities: the colleges are (for the most part) independent institutions; and there are many illogical facets, such as "students" of Christ Church, Oxford actually being the academics, or Mast of Arts degrees not being real degrees.
In the UK, we separate education (childhood school; university is not considered a "school") from alma mater which is any/all universities that someone attended (they don't need to have graduated with a degree from them).
Professor has a different meaning in the UK. Someone with the profession of a university teacher is known as an academic or lecturer. A professor is the most senior type of academic, and a title of distinction, it is not an occupation description.
The UK and US (mostly) share a language but there are differences. So please educate yourself before making any more such changes. I'm happy to point you in the right direction, or just have a look at British biographies and other Wiki articles. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 14:27, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
As a side note, if (inline with the MOS:POSTNOM) you want to turn postnoms from 100% to their smaller versions do this {{Post-nominals|country=GBR|size=100%|sep=,|}} (i.e. delete the 100%) not this <small>{{Post-nominals|country=GBR|size=100%|sep=,|}}</small>.

I recently posted an edit request on Talk:Peng_Zhao#Education,_Philanthropy_and_Boards, which an editor partially implemented, but did not have time to complete. Could you please look at the first three bullets of that edit request and implement whatever you feel will add information worthy of Wikipedia standards to the page? Thanks so much, Cduffymul (talk) 17:57, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello. I have neither any connection nor experience with Citadel LLC, and I don't usually edit articles concerning business. I don't believe I'm the correct editor to implement these changes. GuardianH (talk) 18:52, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Project Socrates

Hi again, I just added some content about the project here. For comparison, here is the old version. Does that work? I don't want to write too much as I'm trying to keep each paragraph at a similar length. Thanks, Wow (talk) 21:34, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Looks good to me; it seems the project isn't too historically important, at least compared to the other things Reagan has done. I was at first worried about such a large-scale remodel of Reagan's article, but I think its been improving much thanks to your edits. Kudos for your momentous work on it.

Degrees

Hello again! Universities are free to set their own post-noms/initials for degrees, that doesn't make them wrong. For example, the University of Oxford uses DPhil for a Doctor of Philosophy degree (instead of the usual PhD), and Princeton uses AB for a Bachelor of Arts degree. It's worth double checking what letters each university uses before changing them.

Ps, I can see that you use the visual editor so you may not have looked at the infobox templates (eg Template:Infobox academic). They are worth a read to explain what's expected of each parameter (eg discipline vs sub_discipline). Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 18:22, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Entitled

Whenever I see this I think” believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatmen”. Just saying. Doug Weller talk 12:09, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

An unfortunate force of habit. I think there's some stylistic element to using 'entitled' depending on the context, though you're right that the meanings may be easily confused. GuardianH (talk) 12:41, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
I'm not terribly fussed, but it does jar at times. It also seems strange to my ears. Might be an engvar issue. Doug Weller talk 13:58, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Steve hayward professor.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Steve hayward professor.jpeg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:08, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

The above basically also applies to File:Lee ohanion economist.jpeg, File:Joshua rifkin pianist.jpeg and File:Joshua Katz professor.jpeg and they have also been tagged for speedy deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:14, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
I don't believe there any free images or public domain images of the the subjects online, so it seems to fulfill the first criterion. GuardianH (talk) 01:42, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
For living persons, it's generally assumed that a new image can be taken to serve the same encyclopedic purposes as a non-free as explained in WP:FREER and item 1 of WP:NFC#UUI; so, the default is simply not to use a non-free one just be a free one doesn't currently exist or can't currently be found. If you disagree with this assessment and believe that are special circumstances which make the possibility of a free equivalent image either being created or found for each of these files to be pretty much zero, you can follow the instructions given in the templates I added to the files' pages and explain why. The files that were tagged for speedy deletion will be reviewed by an administrator in a few days, and that administrator will check to see if the tagging has been disputed. They will then decide to either delete or keep the file. So, it's best for you post your reasons for disputing the tagging by adding a {{di-replaceable non-free use disputed}} to template each file's page for the reviewing administrator to see. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:57, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
It is unfortunate, though I'm okay with the images being deleted. Thank you for bringing these to my attention, I ought to familiarize myself with the process of image selection. GuardianH (talk) 02:59, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
Wikipedia's non-free content use policy is quite restrictive and this is one of the types of non-free use that is almost never considered to be acceptable and would would have eventually be tagged for speedy deletion/review by someone at some point. Just for reference, some users have had success with WP:PERMISSION in getting an existing image relicensed to make it easier to use for Wikipedia purposes, though copyright holder WP:CONSENT is needed to do that. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:55, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

Hans Kelsen

The garbled part of my reversion of your amendment to "Hans Kelsen" should have read: "doesn't appear in Olechowski's biography, p 141". Errantios (talk) 13:03, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification; I was trying to figure out the meaning haha. Dr. hab. is just the abbreviation of the habilitation degree. If my memory is correct, I think the University of Vienna abbreviates it as such too. GuardianH (talk) 13:54, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
German WP "Doktor" does not have "Dr. hab." but it does have "Dr. habil." for Germany (although not for Austria). It does not date the introduction of this form. Errantios (talk) 12:35, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
Apologies, I meant to write Dr. habil. instead. Do you think the abbreviation would be more appropriate? GuardianH (talk) 14:41, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
I don't think so. German WP "Doktor" has "Dr. habil." only for Germany and not for Austria, and it does not occur in Olechowski's biography of Kelsen. The foundation document of the Hans Kelsen-Institut does not use it, referring to "Prof. Dr. jur. Dr. h.c.mult. Hans Kelsen". Errantios (talk) 20:09, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
