Short descriptions

Hi, I just came across a couple of Short descriptions you had recently edited, and was sorry to see how they had turned out. Of course I'd be concerned if it was the case that you were editing many other Short descriptions in the same way, so I thought I'd better share my thoughts on the matter with you.

In Gríma Wormtongue you replaced a clear description with a statement so bland that it was of almost no possible use or help to anyone; I wondered if you had objected to the (accurate) word "lecherous" so I've left it out, but the "traitor and spy" is certainly necessary, and also short.

I then looked at Peter Caddy, where you had overridden the quite helpful Wikidata entry "Hotelier, co-founder of Findhorn Foundation" with the frankly misleading "British Hotelier"; I've restored the Wikidata text as the Short description as it's easily justified by cited article text, indeed it's the salient fact about the man.

In short, a "Short description" should – must – be descriptive as well as short; sacrificing any quality of descriptiveness for the sake of extreme shortness is an error. Many thanks for your attention. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:05, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

To add to that, you might like to read WP:HOWTOSD which explains how short descriptions should be constructed. MichaelMaggs (talk) 09:08, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

WP:SDDATES

Hello. You need to read and understand WP:SDDATES which states without ambiguity that relevant dates should be appended to the short description. You cannot go around deleting dates just because you don't like them. SDDATES is there because WP:CONSENSUS has been reached on the inclusion of dates in shortdescs. You appear to believe that a short description must have a maximum limit of two words but the real point of these lines is that they provide a short but adequate summary of the article's subject-matter and it is necessary to distinguish a subject that is especially notable in some way from one that is ordinarily notable. This means that the shortdesc sometimes needs three or four words instead of two. What matters is what is useful to the reader.

Having seen the scale of your "amendments" to shortdescs, I would be justified in issuing a caution or even a warning about your activity but there have been no significant challenges to you thus far so the above will suffice. While editors are encouraged to be WP:BOLD, it is within certain constraints which include editing policy, accepted guidelines and consensus. Please read the guidelines on short descriptions and abide by them, especially SDDATES. Thank you. No Great Shaker (talk) 10:27, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

ships and sports

Thank you for quality articles about ships such as SS Angarstroy, Caldew (trawler) and Japanese transport ship Unyo Maru No. 2, for stubs about participants in the Olympics and sports people who died in World War One, such as Henry Purver and George Woolley (footballer), for precision in categories and for missing, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Liam Kofi Bright

Why did you move this page back to the draft space? I just finished reviewing it. While the citations need to be improved, Dr. Bright qualifies as notable under WP:PROF #2. Kitoba (talk) 17:36, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Kitoba, it needs a bit of citation improvement, as you said, and some grammar fixes are needed. Lettlerhello • contribs 17:50, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
Lettler, neither of those is a reason to not accept an article that has been proposed for review, under these guidelines, therefore they also are not valid reason for reversing the result of an independent review. While the citations are clearly inadequate, they do meet the minimal standard of independently verifying the basis of Dr. Bright's qualification for notability. There is no standard that Wikipedia articles must be perfect before they are moved into the mainspace, since all Wikipedia articles are eternally in progress.　Kitoba (talk) 18:20, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
Kitoba I approved it. The tag about sources is sufficient enough. SL93 (talk) 03:32, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Klete Keller

Why are you adding Klete Keller to "Category:Homeless people"? The category description states that it is for "People known to be homeless all or much of the time, or otherwise famously associated with past or present periods of homelessness" - Keller does not remotely fit any part of that description. He is notable for his swimming and, to a lesser extent, his Jan 6th activity. His brief homelessness was a blip and received next to zero coverage in sources. Please stop adding that. Wes sideman (talk) 19:14, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Estonian footballers

Hi Lettler. Hope you are well. For info, I've created a few bios for Estonian footballers, and some of them died during WWII (at least according to a quick transate of their .de article). They are:

Olympian killed in World War II

May I suggest for the list Adam Obrubanski. Not only is he not listed in Olympedia as among those who died as a result of war but he is also not on its list of Olympians killed in the Katyn massacre although his bio page places his death in April 1940 at Katyn, Belarus (more implicit than explicit evidence, I think).Cloptonson (talk) 09:56, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

I also suggest adding Henri Bierna who is not listed in Olympedia as having died as a result of war but his wiki article I notice has been put in the category of 'Deaths by air strike in World War II'. His death is stated to have occurred during August 1944.Cloptonson (talk) 20:30, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
Also add Fyodor Rimsha who is not listed in Olympedia as having died as result of war unlike his team mates Fillipov, Uversky and Yakovlev, though he is stated died at Leningrad in 1942.Cloptonson (talk) 14:08, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
Another candidate for the list is Vladimir Markov (footballer), another Russian 1912 Olympic player, who Olympedia states died in St Petersburg - when it was then Leningrad - at an unstated date in 1942. As the latter city was under siege from late 1941 to 1944, his death would have coincided with the siege - might his death not have been because of it?Cloptonson (talk) 05:34, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

Abbreviation?

Hi. A lot of your edit summaries say simply "cl". What does this mean?--Jahalive (talk) 02:22, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

Jahalive, "cl" means cleanup. Lettlerhello • contribs 02:36, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
Thanks. The summaries would be more useful if they were a little more specific, or at least more widely used abbreviations, which can be found here: WP:ABBREV. For example ce for copyedit might apply to many of those types of edits.--Jahalive (talk) 18:15, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

Information icon Hello, I'm Elizium23. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Pope Benedict IX, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources.

Short descriptions on American football players

Hello! You may remember me from a while back. I had said what I thought would be the best way to go on American football players by listing some at their positions. Well, I have done many additions over different types of lifestyles and occupations other than American football and most of the other athletic pages seem constant with the Nationality and the sport they play. I figure it is best over a long period of time to modify the American football players to just American football player, Canadian football player, American gridiron football player if they are American and play Canadian, etc. I figure the best way to approach this is have other edits done to an article and change that in the process so it does not overload watchlists and what-not. Remember, there is no uniform standpoint to this and if you feel one needs to look one way compared to how others look, then go ahead. Best of luck editing!

Category:United States Army Air Forces soldiers

Hi. It looks like we are working at cross-purposes on this cat as you have removed it from several articles while I routinely add it when it is missing. Marv Levy is an example where the cat was removed. The "soldier" category differentiates between officer and enlisted. Also, I added the "non-diffusing subcategory" template to "Category:United States Army Air Forces personnel of World War II" to clear that up. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 13:13, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Eddy de Neve

Thank you for adding Eddy de Neve to the List of footballers killed during World War II, having found a Dutch language online source to attach. I found the link when I tried to google it came back on me with a 'Page could not be accessed' message. What exactly is the source to, a magazine article, and does the text support the description of him as a civilian planter?

As mentioned in the talk page of de Neve's wiki article, I did find on the official Dutch war graves site an Eddy De Neve (with more than one Christian name) whose birth and death dates coincided who died in the East Indies, he is listed as of the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army with his rank given as 'App Elt' - do you know how it translates?Cloptonson (talk) 12:15, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Cloptonson, I have replaced the broken source with two sources that confirm de Neve's death date and his occupation as a plantation worker. Dutch wiki says that he did serve in the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army, but was discharged as a lieutenant in 1909. Lettlerhello • contribs 12:49, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Harry Spencer (footballer)

Thank you for the first mention of a New Zealand player Charles Ives (footballer) in the List of footballers killed during World War II. I thought you might like to look at my comment on the talk page of Harry Spencer's article in case you might have access to information that confirm the man known to the CWGC is the same man as the player. Like Ives he also died in 1942, albeit in New Zealand. He had a soccer track record in England as well as NZ.Cloptonson (talk) 13:27, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
