Baha'i apologetics

Hello. I don't know if you saw, but the section you contributed to in Baha'i divisions was moved to a new page called Baha'i apologetics. It looked like they sort of glazed over your contributions which I thought were valid points. Jeff 18:35, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the information. That's very interesting... --KnightMove 07:17, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Re: Edit in Reference Desk/Language

I have no idea how that happened. My intention was merely to add the paragraph starting "These might be simply made up examples of ...". Please accept my apologies; if anything needs reverting I'll revert it. One possibility springs to mind - I wonder if there are revisions before the one I (according to the history) made that have been oversighted. Another possibility is that the browser I was using (Safari or Firefox, I use both indiscriminately) has a bug that caused it to drop stuff from its buffer when editing a long page (this is a worrying possibility and I'll look very carefully at edit histories after editing anything big). Please be assured that I am not in the habit of randomly deleting swathes of stuff "just for fun"! Thanks for the heads-up and again, apologies. Tonywalton ^Talk 14:57, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Such things do happen. I personally want my question at the end of the diff. to be restored (maybe best under the current day headline, for it's not archived prematurely then. But I can't really help with any advise what to do best, and how - maybe simply everything that has been deleted, including passages that have been archived yet? --KnightMove (talk) 15:25, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

All put back in place now. It would probably be a good idea for you simply to re-state your question under today's section (feel free to blame my edit for meaning you had to do it twice!) With regard to your question, by the way, I'm not aware of any common idioms (in GB English, at least) with regard to revolvers up the sleeve - "nothing up my sleeve" is more applicable to sleight of hand than gangsters. Regards Tonywalton ^Talk 16:01, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for your info.--KnightMove (talk) 15:04, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks a bunch for noticing my small screw up there. Best regards, Captain n00dle ^T/_C 16:52, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I have just figured out the problem, they were different IP addresses, so it only reverted 1 edit, cheers Captain n00dle ^T/_C 16:57, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

No problem. I think the problem was concurrence - the other IP was a few seconds ahead reverting the vandalism. --KnightMove (talk) 07:05, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Troccas & Troggu

Hi pal,
I visited your page on the German Wiki and remembered seeing your name here anywhere, so I thought about getting in touch with you so as to ask you for a little favor. How about translating the Troccas and Troggu articles from the German Wiki ?! That would be greatly appreciated pal. I know you've probably been dealing with other things lately, but that'd be great if you could !! Perhaps a friend of yours could help translating half of one of the articles or he could take one as you take the other.

Bekes Gáspár

If you are from Austria and you don't even mention Hungarian as one of the languages you know then please do not mess with the scientific spelling of Hungarian historical characters. Accent is not needed because Bekes was most probably not of Hungarian origin but Romanian and his name is not Békés (=peaceful) but Bekes according to Endre Veress (Báthory István erdélyi fejedelem és lengyel király levelezése, 1556-1580, I-II., Kolozsvár, 1944) Thanks. --Iohannesathanatos 07:48, 15 May 2010

Ok, sorry then. The spelling Békés was used in the article right from the beginning, so the situation was inconsistent and definitely wrong - otherwise I wouldn't have interfered. --KnightMove (talk) 23:45, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Wrinkly grandmother...

Hi! I was going to correct the ja translation but saw your "thank you" on the ref. desk page. So I post my correction here. "皺だらけのあなたのお祖母さんは、料理人を埋葬したあと、山羊と遊びました。" It was very difficult to translate that "buried" without context into Japanese. And I removed "たち"/s of goats as ja does not use a plural form in most sentences. If the number of the goats were given, there was no problem. I think the corrected translation is definitely more natural. Oda Mari (talk) 08:21, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
P.S. Your user name in ja is 桂馬跳び or 桂馬飛び.Oda Mari (talk) 08:49, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Anthony Weiner sexting scandal

I object to deleting the women's names from this article. They were published in the media, and some of the women followed up with public appearances, photo shoots, books, etc. to take advantage of the publicity. This type activity voids the expectation of privacy. If you want to delete, it should be on a case by case basis after research of the women's behavior. Pkeets (talk) 04:48, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Human race

Hello. I suggest you seek other users' comments before reverting Human race to a disambiguation page, as your edit summary indicates you intend to do. In my experience, it is not a common or accepted English usage to use the phrase "human race" as a synonym for "a race of humans." Therefore, I don't believe there would be a consensus that this phrase is ambiguous at all. Just because some words could theoretically be put together in some way that might potentially suggest a different meaning does not create an ambiguity if that combination of words is not actually used in practice. Of course, others might disagree with me, which is why I suggest you seek wider input before proceeding. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 18:22, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Germini

Hi, I read your question on the "italian wiki-oracle" and I'll try to answer it. Basically "germini" is the conjunctive form of "germinare" (to germinate), a verbal form that does not exist in english, in the meaning: We hope it germinates = speriamo che germini. It's best known as an italian surname so the game might have taken his name from who invented it--Madowiki (talk) 09:18, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

Thank you very much! However I think it's better to have all answers at one place, this might inspire others. Would you mind to copy the content-related part into the Oracolo? Or shall I? --KnightMove (talk) 10:31, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

Removal of disambiguation hatnote for Rihanna / Rhianna

You removed the dab hatnote from Rihanna (for the singer Rhianna) here stating "this disambiguation is rather promo for Rhianna and not necessary".

Quite honestly, I don't see this- they're both female singers, they both operate in the same field, and they have one (silent) letter different in their name; fairly strong possibility of confusion. Also, the popularity of Rihanna is quite likely to (unintentionally) increase the likelihood of people misspelling Rhianna's name in a search. I appreciate she's far less notable than Rihanna, but it seems like a pretty clear case for a dab hatnote to me. Ubcule (talk) 15:55, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

I have created a section on the talk page and will transfer your request there. --KnightMove (talk) 17:57, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

Rihanna

As a regular editor on the Rihanna article, you might want to keep a closer eye on it for a while. There's a rumour floating around, as far as I can tell, a hoax invented on 4Chan, that people are trying to push on to websites with zero, or bogus, sourcing: see [1]. The alleged CNN news item was on CNN iReport - unverified user contribution - that was rapidly removed as being in breach of their site guidelines. Gordonofcartoon (talk) 02:54, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Jackals

Let's just if we may stop and think about this for sec: what does "jackal" even mean?

I mean, what does it mean to say that coyotes aren't closely related to jackals when "jackal" just means "mid-sized canid" that lives the lifestyle that jackals do, regardless of lineage, relatedness, and so on?

Also, note that "coyote" is a Mexican word, originally, and that the original English word for them was "jackal", so a coyote is a jackal, too.

Don't take it from me, read the article Jackal. We could rightly say "The coyote is jackal endemic to North America"!

And coyotes are pretty closely related to the original referent of the word "jackal", Canis aureus, as Linnaeus called it, which is practically the same thing as a coyote and very different from the jackals of the Serengeti and so on. Chrisrus (talk) 23:45, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

I will soon write a detailed answer, but transfer the discussion to the talk page. --KnightMove (talk) 12:30, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Hard

See my comment on the Reference Desk. You are right that hard in English, when applied to people, usually has a different meaning than hart in German. That said, we still refer to hard rock in English. That reference, though, is to the sound of the music itself (like hard surfaces) rather than to the personal qualities of the performers or listeners. Marco polo (talk) 20:59, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Nowotny

Please note the article is A-class which means, for every change you have to reference a proper source. Adding info and commenting the is taken from the website XYZ does work at this level. This may be okay if the article is a stub or start class. Everything above B-class needs inline citations. Thanks for your understanding MisterBee1966 (talk) 06:48, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Have a look here no B-24 claim by Nowotny himself. MisterBee1966 (talk) 06:59, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Ok, that's of course a valid objection. But then, when did Nowotny score his third (=first) aerial victory in the west, and against which aircraft? As the article states that he had had three victories in the west, but the section does not even imply he might have had a kill prior to the day of his death, I'd like to have that mentioned. --KnightMove (talk) 07:35, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

I found a source for this claim, it is now cited. Thanks for your effort MisterBee1966 (talk) 17:29, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for yours, too. That's great work you're doing in those articles. --KnightMove (talk) 05:10, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Honestly: I only became active in the Nowotny article, as I felt an implicit inconsistency without that kill being mentioned. I lack the competence to contribute to those articles. --KnightMove (talk) 06:38, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Bad ideas at the RD

It is a bad idea to start a question at the RD with "Hypothesis". You're sure to give a good reason to some self-important busybody to jump and close your discussion with (for example) "The reference desk's job is not to entertain or evaluate hypotheses" without (probably) even having read the substance of the question. This question was no less factual and no less appropriate than some others. But by prefixing "Hypothesis" to it you blew your chances. Just letting you know. Basemetal 21:20, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Norwegian names with matronyms

Posting here, since my reply was late, in case you didn't check back.

In Norway, it is common to wear the mother's family name as middle name, as in Aksel Lund Svindal. Questions:

• Is there a way to distinguish this matronym from a second given name? What is the Øen in Sven Magnus Øen Carlsen? What about Kjetil André Aamodt?
• What is the proper way to deal with this matronym in contexts where not the full name is written, e.g. in sport, when the person is primarily referred to by family name, maybe with the first name appended? Is Aksel Lund Svindal then Lund Svindal, Aksel; or Svindal, Aksel Lund; or is it best to omit the name - Svindal, Aksel? --KnightMove (talk) 19:57, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

Magnus Carlsen's middle name "Øen" is his mother Sigrun Øen's surname [3].

There's no simple way of distinguishing matronyms from second given names, other than knowledge about the usage of the name. In the case of Kjetil André Aamodt, "André" is common as a given name, but unusual as a surname, so it is reasonable to assume that it is a given name. Also, his mother's name is Gerd Johanne Aamodt [4].

"Svindal, Aksel Lund" is the correct way of writing the name when making an alphabetic list, unless the names are hyphenated [5]. The law that regulates Norwegian names is here: https://lovdata.no/dokument/NL/lov/2002-06-07-19 . --NorwegianBlue ^talk 10:28, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

Draft:paysafecard

Hi KnightMove. Alexshih asked me to have a look at the draft. I looked it over briefly and am willing to work on it more. But it ~looks like~ conflicted editing work (promotional, unsourced/badly sourced, etc) so before I work on it I wanted to ask - do you have any connection with the company? If you are not aware of the PAID policy, you are obligated to disclose if you are being paid or expect to be paid, and per the COI guideline, you should disclose if you some connection with the company. You can reply here, I will see it. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 09:27, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Jytdog, answers and explanations:

WP:PAID I can easily answer with "no". I do not earn anything, directly or indirectly, by working on this article, or by promoting the company, or by doing any other edits in Wikipedia. Regarding WP:COI, I can't say "no" that clearly, and I have to confess that I had better been fully aware of this guideline before, even though working on the article is my private business without financial motivation.

Anyway, for the "promotional, unsourced/badly sourced, etc" impression, I would like to clear up a few things:

• The draft has originally been an article in main namespace, and been deleted as such. That version of the article was, regarding its main contents, certainly promotional and used internal sources mainly (I don't know details about the process of its creation). I do have invested work in removing and/or repairing this content, but I'm not done with it yet. The process is more difficult than I had expected, and one may well accuse my of having loitered, which is why I have asked Alexshih for more time.
• So far, I have well added sources critical about paysafecard which the company, especially regarding abuse for criminal activities, about which to be talked to about much the company can hardly have an interest (see e.g. sources #2-4 and #30). I have also removed criticism, but this was arguably totally invalid content in terms of sources and neutrality (see especially this edit).
• I am fully open to your feedback on my past edits, and what is supposed to happen next. --KnightMove (talk) 23:36, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for replying and clarifying that you are not editing this for pay. Would you please disclose your connection with this company? Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 17:39, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

I am an employee of an IT personnel service provider, predominantly for software testing, and in this role I currently mainly work as an external co-worker for paysafecard. I am not hired or asked by them to work in Wikipedia, or otherwise do marketing stuff.

Apart from that, I am a normal customer of them. paysafecard has been my online payment method of choice for several purposes, especially fee-based services in online games.

My motivations to work on the article were

• the sincere (and upright) conviction that the company is relevant, and deserves an article (in the German Wikipedia, this is out of discussion anyway),
• the 'shock moment' when I noticed that the English article had been deleted (even though this is the company's fault, no doubt about it),
• the occasion to finally contribute a full article to the English Wikipedia (so far, I have only created some redirects and disambiguation pages, and added rather minor contents to articles),
• and some 'patriotic' tendency to add or support Austrian-related content (for example, I have created the disambiguation pages Dorfmeister and Niavarani to make the respective Austrian persons easier to find). --KnightMove (talk) 19:02, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

@Jytdog: Well, I don't know what you conclude from this now. You will understand that I don't like to totally stop now. Unless you recommend something different, I'm going to continue working on the draft with shifted priority - adding external citations for contents, removing contents for which this fails (as done e.g. here), and stopping to add new content before this has made at least significant progress. --KnightMove (talk) 05:45, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay. So.. you are saying that paysafe is a client of the IT company you work for, and as an employee of the IT company, you have worked on the paysafe software. Is that correct? Jytdog (talk) 05:50, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

Yes, this is correct (apart from the name). --KnightMove (talk) 06:00, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining. That is ~some~ COI but not horrible. Thanks for explaining.

In general, we look for people to a) disclose any COI they have; and b) not edit directly in mainspace, but instead offer content proposals. You are doing great with that, by putting the article through AfC, so no problem there.

Even more generally, please have a look at User:Jytdog/How, which I wrote to try to give new editors an overview of what our mission is, and how we realize it. There is a section there about writing a new article, that you might find helpful.

In any case, I will have a look at the draft this weekend. Best regards Jytdog (talk) 06:05, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you! --KnightMove (talk) 06:14, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Jytdog, I'm somewhat half-hearted in my further work on the draft, as I'm unsure whether it's in the right direction. Please can you give some feedback this weekend? --KnightMove (talk) 14:53, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Hitler family

Hi. I have reverted an edit of yours on this article, and would like to remind you about WP:BRD. When your Bold edit has been Reverted by another editor, the recommended next step, if you continue to think the edit is necessary, is to Discuss the dispute on the article talk page with other editors, but not to re-revert it, which is the first step to edit warring, a disruptive activity which is not allowed. Discussion on the talk page is the only way we have of reaching consensus, which is central to resolving editing disputes in an amicable and collegial manner, which is why communicating your concerns to your fellow editors is essential. While the discussion is going on, the article generally should remain in the status quo ante until the consensus as to what to do is reached (see WP:STATUSQUO).

To help move things along, I have started a discussion on the article talk page about the disputed edit, which you will find here. Please take the opportunity to make your views known there. It is best not to restore the material you added until there is a consensus among the editors there to do so. Thanks, Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:28, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

January 2021

Hello, I'm Enivid. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Paysafe Group have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. Enivid (talk) 09:39, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

@Enivid: Why do you treat this link as spam? This page includes probably the most informative (and apparently independent) overview of the group history to be found on the web. --KnightMove (talk) 11:54, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Please see WP:ELNO #5. If the information is relevant, it should be included into the article and the page linked as a source. There is no justification to use that as an EL here. Enivid (talk) 19:01, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Hm, ok. --KnightMove (talk) 19:18, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

I honestly do not intend to launch any project-related activities in the foreseeable future, and I haven't ever listed there myself, so... I have no objections to close the project. --KnightMove (talk) 12:32, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Stahlhelm (disambiguation)

The article Stahlhelm (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Disambiguation page not required (WP:2DABS). Primary topic has a hatnote to the only other use.

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.

Taijiro

Hi what makes you think this is a surname? The articles it links to show Taijiro as a first name. Mccapra (talk) 10:23, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

I see, I was wrong here. I will request speedy deletion. --KnightMove (talk) 10:33, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Topgun2.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Topgun2.jpg. 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) 21:17, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation, which I assume to be autogenerated. Just for protocol, for readers passing by here: I did not upload the file, I have just used it in an additional article. More at the deletion request. --KnightMove (talk) 23:41, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Update: After reading and understanding all the rules you have cited, I agree that the image is probably not justified, and I will not issue an objection. --KnightMove (talk) 23:50, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Re: Christy Martin vs. Deirdre Gogarty

Hello Knight! As per your request on the above page's talk page: done! Go check it out and let me know if there is still something missing. Thanks! God bless! Antonio Aer Lingus, Guinness, Accenture, Bank of Ireland, err.....ok! Martin (wassup?) 04:54, 3 August, 2022 (UTC)

Superb work, now unqualified pro for DYC from my side. --KnightMove (talk) 10:10, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

@AntonioMartin @KnightMove Great, I will resume the DYK review now! BTW, KnightMove: You are exempt from DYK reviews for your first 5 DYK nominations; no need for QPQ. (You can just mention that in your DYK nomination and everyone understands; there is also a tool linked from the DYK Reviewing Guide to verify this.) Cielquiparle (talk) 16:04, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Very good to know, thank you. --KnightMove (talk) 05:01, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

Top Gun: Maverick

You seem to come back to this article every so often and retry the changes that have been unsuccessful. At this point, it would be best to hash it out on the article's talk page. Specifically, in this edit, the statement "Maverick meets former girlfriend Penny Benjamin, they come close again" is not coherent. They come close again? What does that mean? That's poor grammar at best.

Also, the subplot about Maverick making a promise to Rooster's mother should not be removed. It is central to the conflict between Rooster and Maverick, even if that portion is unbeknownst to Rooster. We can discuss more publicly on that talk page if needed. -- GoneIn60 (talk) 05:53, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

So be it, I go to the talk page (see you soon there). --KnightMove (talk) 08:42, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Unsourced additions

Please do not add or change content, as you did at The Fool (tarot card), 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. Skyerise (talk) 13:29, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Well, especially the part you took out was perfectly in line with the content of the article. But well, I will grab my tarot history books and add sources soon. --KnightMove (talk) 20:20, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
