Page moves

Unfortunately, rules of Wikipedia do not provide personal sanctions for ignorant mass actions with misleading summaries. A good Wikipedian always cites a concrete rule and never says anything like per MOS. The only thing I can do is this request to exterminate all your page moves since December 7, 2012. I hope that you'll become wiser and will cease to think that you are better MoS expert than hundreds of users who edited and watched numerous "Anglo-" and "Italo-" articles and universally preferred the hyphen, before your advent. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 20:01, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Excuse me? If you're going to lecture me on what a "good Wikipedian" is, you should probably first internalize WP:AGF. I don't think I've ever described another editor's good-faith actions as "ignorant." I did not claim to be better than the "hundreds of users" who edited those articles. I had thought there was an oversight in many of these pages regarding the hyphen. My summaries for these moves were not misleading; apparently you were not satisfied with their specificity. And while we're talking about "concrete rules," why would you not include in this message the concrete rule you think I ignored? Instead of making this about the specific rules regarding page moves and titles, you've chosen to lament how little power you have to sanction me for easily reverted and ultimately harmless page edits.
I encourage you to re-read what Elen of the Roads wrote to you on September 28:

On the English Wikipedia, calling another editor anything uncomplimentary can be a breach of the policy on personal attacks and is best avoided. Sentences that start "you are a...." are not appropriate when uncomplimentary. If you feel a user is making bad edits - and it seems that you often have a point here - the way to express that is "these edits are not good because....(no source/misinterprets source/doesn't make sense/ect)." Discuss only what the content should be - make no comment about the competence, intelligence, motivation or attractiveness of the other editor, unless you want to say something nice about them.

If you can demonstrate to me the reason you believe the pages' titles were correct before my edits, I'd be happy to change them back. --Jprg1966 (talk) 20:41, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
The relevant provision in MOS:ENDASH says Wrong: Franco–British rivalry; "Franco" is a combining form, not independent; use a hyphen: Franco-British rivalry. If you could rework your moves to be consistent with that, it would be greatly appreciated. We get enough trouble using en dashes where concensus says they belong; using "per MOS" to justify more than that is a bad idea. – Dicklyon (talk) 03:01, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Camp Gulliver: Changes

Hi regarding my article on CampGulliver http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Camp_Gulliver I've followed your suggestion and added a new reference from an indipendant newspaper who did an article on the subject, I hope it is enough to broaden the notability of the subject since other approved articles on summer camps have similar refs. Let me know, I remain open to further suggestions. Sincerely Laura

This should be rediculous

It's totally appropriate to remove information without a source, but calling his contributions "hateful propoganda" is ascribing motives to him that you should not assume. One of the cardinal rules of Wikipedia is to assume that other users have good intentions. Focus on the content, not the editor's motives. --Jprg1966 (talk) 16:50, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

section headings spacing, blank lines, template name case, and encoding characters

I noticed your edits partly because they contradict similar kinds of edits that are likely done by other editors.

While section headings may have spaces between the heading text and the equals signs or not have them, I prefer spaces for readability while some editors may prefer nonspacing for server storage compactness. When new talk sections are created by clicking a "New section" tab link, MediaWiki spaces them. I suggest leaving the spacing the way it's found, unless inconsistent within a page.

Template names officially begin with a capital letter but usually aren't typed that way. My understanding is that the latter adds a burden on the servers as they must translate from the latter to the former, making the capitalized first initial preferred.

Replacing ".2F" with the slash it represents when done within link text likewise burdens the servers. Hovering the mouse shows that a server translates the slash back to .2F before the link can be followed. That is likely to prevent a link from being misunderstood as a link to a subpage separated by a slash.

When sections are consecutive with nothing in between except perhaps a blank line, I used to omit the blank line, but then I noticed persistent addition of blank lines by other editors, and so now I add it, too. It has the benefit of readability in edit mode.

Thank you for your work.

Invitation to look at edits on IQ reference chart

I see the article IQ reference chart has been tagged for expert review since October 2012. As part of a process of drafting a revision of that article in my user sandbox, I am contacting all Wikipedians who have edited that article since early 2009 for whom I can find a user talk page.

I have read all the diffs of all the edits committed to the article since the beginning of 2009 (since before I started editing Wikipedia). I see the great majority of edits over that span have been vandalism (often by I.P. editors, presumably teenagers, inserting the names of their classmates in charts of IQ classifications) and reversions of vandalism (sometimes automatically by ClueBot). Just a few editors have referred to and cited published reliable sources on the topic of IQ classification. It is dismaying to see that the number of reliable sources cited in the article has actually declined over the last few years. To help the process of finding reliable sources for articles on psychology and related topics, I have been compiling a source list on intelligence since I became a Wikipedian in 2010, and I invite you to make use of those sources as you revise articles on Wikipedia and to suggest further sources for the source on the talk pages of the source list and its subpages. Because the IQ reference chart article has been tagged as needing expert attention for more than half a year, I have opened discussion on the article's talk page about how to fix the article, and I welcome you to join the discussion. The draft I have in my user sandbox shows my current thinking about a reader-friendly, well sourced way to update and improve the article. I invite your comments and especially your suggestions of reliable sources as the updating process proceeds. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 20:56, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Pamella D'Pella - Advise

The person who blanked the page is the main contributor and creator - so on the one hand should that not be allowed? It's one of the speedy tags..And all the content is either unsourced or from IMDB which is not considered a suitable source for BLP. So I'm wondering if I should go back, blank the page and request a speedy = or not - She is an actress who should probably have an entry and should she be able to request her page get deleted? Should I instead source info for the page and make sure it is kept? -- 🍺 Antiqueight confer 20:16, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Ah, I didn't know they did that. Theoretically, the main contributor blanking the page would qualify for G7 speedy deletion. Let us see if we can engage this editor to create a neutral, well-sourced article in AfC. That's my two pennies. --Jprg1966 (talk) 20:23, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
I didn't until I looked again - there were enough contributors in the preceding pages that I took it to be an unexplained blanking. But when I looked again, further back this was the user who created the page and is the main contributor. So I wasn't sure what to do and then you commented so I figured a second opinion would be good. I'll go ask why they can't get the article sourced - there is at least an official website for the woman and there must be new reports of her.. What would be needed to make a BLP sufficiently sourced? (PS, I'm watching here for the moment..)-- 🍺 Antiqueight confer 20:27, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
Ideally, the official website would not be used as a source. Newspapers, magazines, and books independent of the subject are much better because they are less likely to be promotional. I'm not an expert on BLP sourcing, but WP:SELFPUB seems like a relevant guideline. --Jprg1966 (talk) 20:34, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
I know the website can't be used to show notability but can't it be used for personal details? Meanwhile someone else just undid the blanking again..What is the correct course of action - since he is the creator he is entitled to blank it?-- 🍺 Antiqueight confer 21:00, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
I guess flag it for G7 speedy deletion. See what an admin thinks. --Jprg1966 (talk) 21:56, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation of link to Broughton on article Wade's Causeway

Hi, you have edited Wade's Causeway and asked for a disambigutaion for "Broughton" link in the article. My understanding is that the Broughton referenced is no longer a current-day settlement, it does not appear on Google Maps or my current OS map of the area, but appears to exist now only as a legacy parish, with the village/hamlet/township having disappeared. Would you prefer to unlink this entirely or redlink to a not yet created article?

Hasty judgement by IP editor?

I hope it's not bad form to post here, but I noticed you left a message on the talk page of an IP editor who has make a quick judgement (against my position) on an edit raised at ANI (Andrew Gilligan). He's entitled to do so, but it's hard to see how he could have read all the discussion on the talk page, with the associated sources, in the few minutes between the issue being raised and his edit of the article. Indeed, discussion on ANI had just kicked off. Naturally, I feel aggrieved because I thought I had made a very, very strong case against the position of the other IP editor who wanted the text removed. Would you look at the issue?

AutoEd changes to Pseudoscience

Greetings Jprg1966, I noticed some of the changes you made with AutoEd to the article Pseudoscience may not have been the best. One broke a url see line 140 section. Several of the others changed every word of journal and magazine articles to capitals. For smaller works like articles only the first word of the title is capitalized. Here is the diff. Please use care and review each change when using a script or automated editor. I bring this comment as only minor and in the best of spirit as I use AWB and have found some guidance from other editors helpful. If you disagree about article title capitalization please respond, references are a particular editing interest of mine and I would like to get them right and follow policy and consensus. Best wishes and thank you for your substantial contributions to WP. - - MrBill3 (talk) 07:34, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi, MrBill3. Can you please specify which URL was broken? In the line 140 section, I only see a Google Books URL that was changed (but still works as before). Sorry for the unintended disturbance. --Jprg1966 (talk) 07:41, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
My bad, the link does still work. My internet can be flaky. What about caps for articles, am I mistaken? Is it generally flexible leading to leaving it as is most common for the article or is there a consensus on format? MOS:CT isn't entirely clear to me. Also aren't templates capitalized? I thought putting in templates without capitalizing the first word caused extra server work. Thanks for all your work and sorry about my mistake. - - MrBill3 (talk) 07:50, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
Hey, mistakes happen. You were gracious in your opening note and I didn't take it as an attack.
I honestly don't know about caps for articles. The only guideline I see is for titles of "works," which encourages full capitalization. In the case of {{cite}} capitalization, I typically use wikEd for my citations, and wikEd does not insert caps (although I know some services do). Do you know where it recommends capitalization for technical reasons? I don't see anything in the template:citation page. --Jprg1966 (talk) 01:45, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
Regarding caps for articles, my personal preference is first word only (and first word after any punctuation). I base this on the distinction between longer and shorter works (italics vs quotation marks) in MOS, WP:QUOTEMARK. It also is somewhat supported by the PubMed format and this is sometimes transcluded by Bots. Regarding caps for template names, I may be a victim of wikirumour, Help:Template actually specifically says, "an initial capital is not necessary" Help:Template#General. I thank you for your cordiality given my beginning with an erroneous accusation of link breaking and for taking the time to discuss these matters. I feel I should again apologize for promulgating the idea of needing to cap templates without doing the research. Thank you for your input on capitalization of article titles. I think it is of some importance and continue to seek the opinions of the WP community. Best. - - MrBill3 (talk) 02:04, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
I do see many pages where the minimal caps is used—as you said, some medical article titles are quite long. Perhaps it is something of a "page consensus" issue. So I will try to see to it that a page consensus is not disturbed that way. And I accept your apology without hesitation. You assumed good faith throughout. --Jprg1966 (talk) 02:10, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Military history additions

Hello Jprg1966, thanks for the note on my talkpage. I am aware of the need for inline citations but in case of the Italian Army brigades and regiments I am not sure how to use them, as the information I added to the articles comes from the official homepage of the Italian Army. On the homepage every corps, division, brigade and regiment has its own subpage with lots of information (i.e. [2] the history section of the Mechanized Brigade Pinerolo). For the wiki articles I translated and summarized these history sections, expanded them (when useful/appropiate) with the information found in the regiments history sections (i.e. [3] the history section of the 9th Infantry Regiment Bari) and then wiki linked them to the events mentioned in the text. Basically about 80% or more of the history additions comes from one source - namely the units official website. If you look at the articles I have edited, you will find that I always put a link at the bottom (under Sources) that leads to the units Italian Army homepage. I did this because I did not want to put the same inline citation at the end of each paragraph - always leading to the same site on the Italian Army homepage. If you happen to have an idea on how to improve the system I used, please let me know. best, noclador (talk) 10:28, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

I have a suggestion. If you don't want to have the page littered with the same [1] everywhere, you can use it maybe once per section visibly, and then <!-- hide it --> anywhere else that reference applies. That way, editors will be able to see what the reference is when they are editing, while readers will not be confused. How does that sound? --Jprg1966 (talk) 01:55, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
Yep, that's sounds better! I will add refs over the next few days and play around with them a bit to see which way is the best. cheers, noclador (talk) 08:19, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Re:unblock requests

Normally the blocking editor should not review the unblock request - and I never have in the past. However, due to the blatant legal threats made I took the initiative to answer the request myself. If you feel I have acted improperly please feel free to raise the issue at ANI. GiantSnowman 18:31, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

I didn't make the edit per BOLD, I made it per INVOLVED - or more precisely the part of INVOLVED which states "the community has historically endorsed the obvious action of any administrator – even if involved – on the basis that any reasonable administrator would have probably come to the same conclusion".

Regarding my sprint biomechanics page

Hello, Jprg- I apologize for all the confusion surrounding my page, I had originally created it for a school assignment (which is why I had a bunch of edits trying to add my name to the site, so I could prove to my professor that it was my page). I was writing up a grant document that contains a great deal of information from this page that I had originally created, so I wanted to remove the content until my grant had been approved. This may just be me being paranoid, but I did not want them to randomly come across this page and think I copied a bunch of stuff off of wikipedia ;) I will be putting it back up once all the paperwork goes though in a few weeks.

Included an edit summary, thanks for the tip, can you help me with one other issue?

I went back and redid my edit with a summary, thanks for the heads-up! I have an issue that I don't know how to solve. I created a page and then requested its creation. Two users then edited it to clean it up in places/make changes as they saw fit. One of those users then moved the page several times, so far as I can tell with the intent of creating the page. (The edit summary is "oops" on each of the incorrect moves, until the final move which moved the page Wikipedia:Crossover experiment (chemistry) to Crossover experiment (chemistry)). Unfortunately the only thing that this last move did was create a redirect on the article page Crossover experiment (chemistry) to Wikipedia:Crossover experiment (chemistry). Do you know how to fix this (such that the text of the article just appears on the article page Crossover experiment (chemistry)? Any help would be appreciated. - update! another user is helping me with this and it should be cleared up soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akbartholomew (talk • contribs) 04:57, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Cheadle Primary School

Just a tip - you can't use A7 on educational establishments. While high schools are usually considered notable (but it's custom not policy), and primary schools (barring exceptional circumstances) are not, it has to be prod or AfD. The other CSD criteria can be applied to schools - copyvio, spam, no content, hoax or vandalism - if applicable. But not A7. It doesn't say so in Twinkle or PC (so far as I know), but it does on the actual template. I deleted this one as G7 per a comment on the talk page from the author.

Editing of Bollywood 100 Crore Club

Hello, I'm BBINDFAN (talk) 15:55, 26 December 2013 (UTC) and the reason why I removed content from Bollywood Hundred Crore Club, I removed the 400 crore club section, is because of Wikipedia rules. Several sites have been saying that Chennai Express has made it into the 400 crore club (worldwide), while other are saying it only made it into the 300 crore club. So many different sites were reporting different numbers. That is why, several months ago Wikipedia came to a consensus to only use one source, that is Box Office India (since it is accurate and trustworthy). According to Box Office India, Chennai Express has only grossed 395 crore. So basically, I was just following the rules that were put in place (that we can only use Box Office India as a source). Thanks for understanding. So I have reverted your edit. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message. :)

Also, I have to talk to you about some films that are listed in the 100 crore club, but Box Office India has said they aren't...(Race 2, Grand Masti, Son of Sardaar and Singham).
