re: PETA campaign article

Hey there. Re this edit summary: The Holocaust on your Plate article was redirected to Animal rights and the Holocaust (then the title of the article) way back in 2006, and was only re-created less than two weeks ago, partially as the outcome on heated discussions on the article talk page. I have no opinion either way on the merge, just in case you were wondering/interested why the PETA campaign now has its own page... –AFreshStart (talk) 14:27, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

Which is about a sobriquet, not the number of Muslims in London. Doug Weller talk 10:52, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, but I figured the number provided useful context. I mean, you have this map about the density in specific regions, but no total for the entire city. Koopinator (talk) 11:09, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Nope. Not sure the map should be there either. I'll look at that. 'Context' without a source mentioning the sobriquet = original research. Sorry. Doug Weller talk 11:57, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Bombing of Cologne in World War II into Gau Cologne-Aachen. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 14:40, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

@Diannaa: I already did attribute the text. My edit on 12:28, 22 August 2023‎ said "Note: the prior edit added content from Josef Grohé and Bombing of Cologne in World War II, see those page's histories for attribution." Koopinator (talk) 14:44, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Afghanistan Tribal Revolts

Sorry, no. Koopinator (talk) 14:22, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Notification overload?

Howdy, Koopinator. I get that you're anxious to keep collage images at the Decades pages. But, aren't you overdoing it, by adding notifications about the re-opened RFC on the pages themselves? I mean, haven't you already placed notices at their talkpages. GoodDay (talk) 16:53, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

If such notices are acceptable for template deletions, they are acceptable for deleting collages. Koopinator (talk) 17:07, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

BTW: I still don't understand why you pushed to have the RFC re-opened. The consensus to delete covered only Year pages. Not Decade or Century pages. GoodDay (talk) 17:10, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

Because User:DementiaGaming interpreted it as applying to decade pages and I felt like, if I challenged him on the basis that "the RFC only applies to years", he would say something about the "spirit of the RFC" or that I'm taking the letter of the law over the spirit of the law. And given how malformed the "remove" arguments seemed to be, I felt I had a better shot if I tried to overturn the result outright. Koopinator (talk) 17:39, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

The consensus for 'remove', concerning Year pages isn't likely to change. It would be best if you & Randy, would agree for that RFC to be closed as such. Then you both can open up a new RFC concerning Decade, Century, Millennium pages. GoodDay (talk) 20:49, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

None of the arguments would change by increasing the relevant timespan by 10, 100 or 1000 though. By what limited test-run Dementiagaming has done, we can tell that the editors (including you) would vote the same. I'm hoping that the closing admin judges the weight of arguments in "No consensus" or "It's up to local talk pages" (spirit of WP:NOTDEMOCRACY) or something the like, or ideally "Keep".

I would prefer the original 30 day extension remain instated. Koopinator (talk) 20:56, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

It hasn't been instated. Any administrator or uninvolved editor can close the RFC, at any time. GoodDay (talk) 21:18, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

So the RfC only concerns year pages and not decades, centuries, etc.? I thought it covered everything, and was a way in to remove collages everywhere on Wikipedia. Are some of the years favored over others (i.e. is there a count of how many year pages have collages?). Thanks. And the RfC should be kept open for a couple weeks, these holiday weeks are a time when less attention is paid to going-ons on Wikipedia. Randy Kryn (talk) 23:17, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

At this point, I realize you're both determined to 'keep' images collages in all the pages-in-question. I hope, if the RFC is closed again with the same result. You'll both accept that result & that your initial refusal hasn't begun a bad precedent. GoodDay (talk) 16:23, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

The Wikipedia process gives me a right to challenge the results of any AFC or AFD. I will relent when that right reaches its conclusion (or, less probably, when I am persuaded that "Remove" has good points), and doing so would only follow existing precedent. But, I will use AN as you requested. Koopinator (talk) 16:54, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Well, looks like the Year pages will be burdened by never-ending disputes over what images should/shouldn't be in the image collages. Too bad, as I suspect most of the 'keep' editors care only about the image collages & very little about the Year pages. GoodDay (talk) 13:48, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Since you and Dementiagaming have clearly stated the "remove" result is a foregone conclusion, I don't see why you're worried. The ability to dispute article content is an integral part of the Wikipedia process. Koopinator (talk) 14:15, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Please reverse your recent changes. There has been no such decision. This is simply disruptive editing. Deb (talk) 13:17, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

@Deb: See Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Years#RfC:_Removal_of_image_collages: "I find weak consensus to keep the collages." "As for where to go from here, many collages were prematurely removed from year articles during the course of this RfC with at most limited discussion. Given the significantly wider scale of this discussion, any editor wishing to restore them may do so." - Please reverse your recent changes. Koopinator (talk) 13:18, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

You can't allow a non-admin closure for a controversial discussion like this. If you won't reverse your changes, someone else will do it for you. Deb (talk) 13:27, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Per this RfC, any non-admin close of an RfC should not be overturned if the only reason is that the closer was not an admin.

Perhaps bring this to WP:AN if you disagree with the result? Koopinator (talk) 13:30, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

There has been no decision and no result. That initial closure was overturned, and clearly that was not the only reason for overturning the closure. Please stop trying to force through your preference and reverse your recent edits. Deb (talk) 13:57, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

There has been a decision and there has been a result. The RFC was closed on 15:25, 10 January 2024 with a weak consensus to keep the collages. If you wish to challenge the result, go to User:Sdkb's talk page or WP:AN. Koopinator (talk) 14:11, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Trajan's Parthian campaign

Do you have any information regard this book you cited?

• Clifford Ando, 2008, Rome: The Rise and Fall of an Empire: The Dacian Wars

I have been unable to verify this book exists.--Kansas Bear (talk) 12:45, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Well, it's not a book, it was a documentary. I think that's why I didn't use the cite book template when adding it. Here's an IMDB page. Koopinator (talk) 13:10, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Note that this is a 2008 series Rome: Rise and Fall of an Empire, not to be confused with the similarly named docudrama from 2006. Whether the 2008 series is a reliable source is up to you to investiage, I was a novice editor in 2017 and might have a poor source of whatever. Koopinator (talk) 13:13, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Battle of Telay

The article Battle of Telay has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:GNG not met. No sources with significant coverage seem to exist. Multiple sources of any kind do not seem to exist. The only source is what is currently in the article -- the WP:UGC website nharnet.com (https://web.archive.org/web/20110723184312/http://nharnet.com/ -- "Notice to our Readers; Effective Immediately, please send articles for posting to webmaster@harnnet.org") run by the "Eritrean People's Democratic Party" (same link: "STARTING FEBRUARY 03, 2010 EPDP launched a new web site, Harnnet.org. PLEASE VISIT http://www.harnnet.org for the latest news and develpments.") and succeeded by harnnet.org, which is "The Official Eritrea People's Democratic Party Website" (https://web.archive.org/web/20110714202517/http://harnnet.org/), and we do not use WP:UGC websites and official political party websites as sources. The content is prima facie dubious and self-serving and could be entirely made up.

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. —Alalch E. 22:08, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
