Question from KeySpace (13:17, 2 January 2022)

Hi, my mentor. I'm KeySpace and activities in korea wikipedia. I'm Korea's student, and I not great english. I need to help. Please help me! --KeySpace / Talk 13:17, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@KeySpace We do have a Korean Wikipedia at ko.wikipedia.org, though you might already know about it. If you want to help do major edits there until you're more fluent, I'm sure the people at the Korean Wikipedia would appreciate it.

We also have a simple English Wikipedia at https://simple.wikipedia.org that's written more clearly for English students. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 22:34, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A message from 67.6.199.174

Dream Horse while I understand you may not be a firearms expert the Smith & Wesson Model 320 is in fact the rarest Smith & Wesson ever produced. As such the Wikipedia page should reflect the fact of rarity. This is not a biased opinion it is a fact substantiated by numerous online articles over decades. 67.6.199.174 (talk) 03:17, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Next time, keep the inline citations or else find reliable sources and replace them. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 03:19, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A message from 108.29.18.127

Hello, I dream of horses. Thank you for the compliment. I will keep what you said in mind. Honestly, I'd hate to see T.J. Watt out for a season and I don't come back. I'll try to broaden my horizons. My prior IP user which was changed for whatever reason was 71.105.252.97. I stuck with one player. But I hope to see you around, thanks again. 108.29.18.127 (talk) 06:06, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mistaken edit

I believe you've made a mistake with your undo of my edit to 2022 United States Senate election in Alabama. I left an edit summary explaining why I removed the "Potential" candidates, as they are all from articles older than 6 months. However, you claim that I did not leave an edit summary, which I did. Kafoxe (talk) 22:00, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Kafoxe Sorry about that. I've self-reverted my revert. I'll leave up to you whether or not to remove the warning. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 22:04, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Thank you! Kafoxe (talk) 22:05, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

About Slipknot, January 2022

Hi, I dream of horses, sorry if I did not explain my edit in Slipknot (band), or if I sound kind rude (english is not my main language). What happens is that there is no confirmation of the information that I deleted; is explained in Talk:Slipknot_(band)#Pfaff_again and in previous conversation. Thank you for your message. --Gusama Romero </talk> 23:14, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Gusama Romero I hadn't seen the talk page, since I was using huggle. Hence the need for edit summaries. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 23:19, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A message from Jeremypogorelec

Hello I dream of horses. I work for a company who manufacturers BPO. I am also the Product Stewardship Chairperson for the Organic Peroxides Producers Safety Division. Our whole purpose is to educate people on the safety of handling organic peroxides like BPO. This is why I added a link to the Safety Division's website via ACC (American Chemistry Council). So, I think its very appropriate and constructive. Please change it back. Thanks. Jeremypogorelec (talk) 18:16, 7 January 2022 (UTC)1/7/22 1316 EST[reply]

@Jeremypogorelec I'm afraid I can't do that. The link is less appropriate than you realize.

Please declare your paid relationship with a BPO manufacturer on your user page and use {{requested edit}} on the talk pages of organic peroxide from here on out. This is per the most accepted application of the terms of usage of Wikipedia. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 18:20, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A message from Jeremypogorelec

@Jeremypogorelec I'm afraid I can't do that. The link is less appropriate than you realize.

"Less appropriate than you realize?" In what way is the safety education of handling hazardous chemicals inappropriate? All I am trying to do is add a link so that people who gain information from Wikipedia have a source where they can obtain safety and correct handling information. I feel like to remove this link would do people a disservice. Please explain to me why you think this link is inappropriate?

Jeremypogorelec (talk) 18:29, 7 January 2022 (UTC) 1/7/22 1329[reply]

@Jeremypogorelec: Firstly, mass adding links to multiple articles in a short amount of time is never acceptable on Wikipedia. Secondly, the webpage is attempting to promote the organization along with imparting information. That makes it a bit inappropriate.

If you comply with the instructions I laid out in my first reply, we (as in "you and the Wikipedian community" rather than "you and I specifically") can devote time to maybe finding a better link rather than this conversation. --I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 18:36, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A message from Goodartfriend

Thank you for the welcome! No worries if this is too minor to respond to. In your message to me you noted that talk messages should be signed with the four tildes (thank you for putting them in this template!). I didn't do that in my little explanations for my edits, should I go back and fix? Goodartfriend (talk) 19:17, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Goodartfriend If you're referring to edit summaries, no. Signing posts are for talk pages and other discussion areas. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 19:19, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A message from Arkansas479

Message from Arkansas 479

I recently updated someone's page with statistical data. It was taken down and said to be "personal analysis or commentary." It was information that was published in an article. How do I do it where that is cited correctly so it doesn't become classified as "personal analysis or commentary"? Thank you for your time and help! Arkansas479 (talk) 19:24, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Arkansas479 At the very least, add a couple of references to verify the information. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 19:27, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

He is an known radical leftist political Aktivist who trys to remove all kinds of content especially historic and geographic content wich does not suit him. Is it possible to stop the guy in english wikipedia? --2003:E5:3F08:8300:592D:2675:AEF5:EF46 (talk) 19:04, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Next time, use an edit summary. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 19:12, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Info: IP is a known troll based in deWP, cf de:user:RoBri/Darmstadt with several range-blocks in the past. Now that he obviously trolls crosswiki further action will be necessary. --Roger (talk) 21:19, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@RoBri Well, if he continues to delete content without an edit summary, he'll be blocked him. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 22:43, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A message from JDMCMAH

Hello! I see that you recommended a page I just created for deletion. I was wondering if you might be able to help me understand why you did it, so I can remedy any concerns you have. If you have any suggestions for improvement, I'd be very appreciative! Thank you! JDMCMAH (talk) 23:33, 9 January 2022 (UTC) JDMCMAH (talk) 23:33, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@JDMCMAH Basically, the article seems to be premature; there are two references about Rhodes' appearing in a Chesney video, but otherwise it seems to be user generated content and a couple of sources (possibly press releases?) about performances. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 01:01, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@I dream of horses - thank you for getting back to me. This is the first article I've written on my own, and I'm really appreciative for any feedback or guidance you can give me. I use Wikipedia frequently, and am committed to providing high-quality information. I am a bit confused about user generated content. Everything I cited is from (I believe) reputable sources (Hawaiian web news sites, Wikipedia and also information from other notable artists official pages). There are YouTube videos of the artist performing on tour with Steven Tyler, Kenny Chesney and other big name artists... but I understand that YouTube clips are not considered cite-able - which I completely understand. Do you have any suggestions to improve the article that I could make to make you reconsider your recommendation to delete? If you would be willing to mentor me through this process, I would be very grateful. JDMCMAH (talk) 01:39, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@JDMCMAH I was referring to a blog with the user-generated content. I should've specified. My apologies. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 02:15, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for wikification

Dear I dream of horses, thanks for reviewing my scientist stub and for wikifying it. In fact, at the time of now, i do not know any article that could link to Leondios G. Kostrikis. So the article might remain an orphan for some time. --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 18:43, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

...I dream, thanks for the call in at my IP address editing page. You and I have interacted in past, and always cordially (and productively), to my recollection. (I tend to recall the positive associations with other editor's names.

I wanted to let you know that I am a committed editor here, but likewise committed to editing without an account. My reasons are my own, and extensive and carefully thought through, both in terms of what I sacrifice by doing so, but also what I have gained. And as the right to do so is as old as WP—I recall early debates, and a fellow named Wales arguing clearly and with earnest commitment to maintaining the right—and I stand by that as an option given.

But I do miss the cordial relations, and so I wanted to drop in and say thanks for the outreach, and that I hope we cross paths at the same articles from time to time, so we can talk shop on behalf of well written, thoroughly sourced, and so good, reliable and verifiable content here. Cheers. 2601:246:C700:558:B570:1ABD:DED3:A5DE (talk) 05:42, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

While changes being pushed through by WMFLegal is causing another debate of whether or not IPs should continue to edit without an account, I doubt account-less editing will be blocked for a while yet (if at all, I'd doubt it'd happen anyways!), and I'd hope there'd be sufficient warning beforehand if it actually did happen. For what it's worth, I agree it's fine to edit without an account, pending additional data.

We'll likely "see" each other again. I'm quite active. Feel free to talk shop at any time.

Hi I need your help could you protect the page of the Annaatthe Tamil film as well as for Bigil tamil film and could you add a separate article for valimai (soundtrack)?

You can file a report at WP:RPP yourself. Say that I'm the one who sent you, if that helps reduces anxiety. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 17:23, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My reverts on Gallican DAB

Hello! You have probably noticed I reverted some of your edits when you de-DABed hyperlinks to "Gallican".
Thanks for your work so far! Most of your de-DAB were right, but a few were wrong, so I reverted them and fixed the DAB myself. It was also my fault for not noticing "Gallican" linked to the "Gallican Church" DAB I created, and for not turning the "Gallican" DAB into a proper DAB page sooner.

AWB and refs on dabs

Hi! This edit came up on my watchlist. Is the removal of the references part of some big AWB project? I don't think this should be done automatically. Yes, refs aren't supposed to appear in dab pages, but they're generally harmless, and more often than not, an indication that something more serious needs attention (for example, the entry they're in may not be appropriate, or the reference may need to be moved to the linked article). – Uanfala (talk) 23:43, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Uanfala Rest assured it wasn't done automatically; that was an AWB edit I "intervened" on, and something I don't do very often. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 01:05, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me that most of the links (well, all that I looked at) that you sent to Volkssturm (a pro-Nazi thing resisting the liberation) should actually go to German resistance to Nazism. Could you please double check what you did there? —Kusma (talk) 14:53, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
