Redirect comments

Hey there, I just removed HTML comments at Wikipedia:Redirect that you had just edited. Your change popped up in my watchlist and led me to wonder why the notes are still there at all since the section is now transcluded from another page. I mentioned in my edit summary that the second note was pointy, I just wanted to leave a note here to further explain that I don't think your edit was pointy, in case that wasn't clear. I just don't see the need to advise anyone before editing a section that they can't edit from that page anyway (editors who edit the transcluded section won't see the note at all). Cheers.

@Ivanvector: Ok. Thank you for communicating.--— Mr. Guye (talk) (My aftermath) 21:50, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion contested: The Flying Scotsman in Australia

Hello Mr. Guye. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of The Flying Scotsman in Australia, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7 does not apply to films or TV programmes. Thank you. Adam9007 (talk) 02:59, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

NPP

Hi. I'm just letting you know that I have reverted the BLPPROD you tagged on Yoon ji-kyeon. This is a clear, unambiguous case for CSD-A7. Before patrolling pages, please read the tutorial. If you are unable to decide on the correct type of tag to use on an article, please leave it for another patroller - all your patrolls have to be checked again by an authorised Reviewer anyway. Thanks. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 07:34, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging

Please do not place the {{Controversial}} tag on articles that have been stable for years, such as The Spear (painting). Also note that there is a different tag for when the controversy is about the subject of the article, not the article itself. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 08:23, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Dodger67: What other template?— Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 08:27, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's explained in the template documentation in the "See also" section. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 08:42, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Over-prompt tagging

Please do not tag articles for speedy deletion less than 15 minutes after they are created, except for copyvios, attack pages, and other truly urgent matters. It has the effect of discouraging new editors, see WP:BITE even if not intended that way. DES ^(talk) 19:46, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Underlinking note

Niteshift36 has removed your underlinking note at GEO Group. I left this note removing to a previous removal of text by Niteshift 36, and my observations: @Niteshift36:, @Parkwells:, @C.J. Griffin:, @Lockley:, @Ctaylor661:, @WhisperToMe:, Restored details of chronic and extreme mismanagement at Walnut Grove, unjustifiably deleted by Niteshift36. This editor has made 20 removals of text added by many editors this year, yet no additions or corrections. In the past four years, Niteshift has made 77 removals of negative information about this corporation's behavior, what have usually constituted massive amounts of well sourced edits by other Wikipedians, and made only four miniscule additions to the article. This seems to be the quintessence of POV, IMHO. Activist (talk) 19:10, 22 May 2017 (UTC) Activist (talk) 19:15, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Urine Lime

Hey. I noticed that you were not so keen on my article. That is fine, but it is a little harsh to label it a hoax, when I provided a picture with two basic ingredients. Comment please? --LiquidGoodness (talk) 21:39, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@LiquidGoodness: I found nothing online that suggested this subject exists. Furthermore, the source you gave didn't mention this so-called "beverage". — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 21:45, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

May I ask you something, Mr Guye.. Do you have limes in your fridge? --LiquidGoodness (talk) 21:47, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@LiquidGoodness: Maybe, but that is irrelevant. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 21:49, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I will take that as a yes. Did you know that if you produce urine, you could use those limes to garnish a Urine Lime? Would you be willing to try such a beverage? --LiquidGoodness (talk) 21:50, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@LiquidGoodness:No. And the hoax part is your claim that many people serve it. But anyways, subjects you invented yourself w/o a credible claim to significance aren't notable anyways. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 22:02, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for signing up as a DRN volunteer

Hello Mr. Guye and thanks for signing up as a DRN volunteer. I hope you have already read this page to learn how to volunteer at the DRN. I recommend you watchlist the DRN page and its talk page to stay updated. However, before you moderate a case, you must make sure you have no bias against any editor involved or towards the subject area itself. Before you volunteer though, I would like to confirm that you have enough experience with the Dispute resolution process. Have you ever volunteered at Third opinion or any other dispute resolution process? Please ping me when replying. Thanks, Yashovardhan (talk) 16:00, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Yashovardhan Dhanania: Hi. Yes, I have read WP:DRN/V. However, my experience regarding WP:DR is somewhat limited, though I have participated at WP:ANI in cases I'm directly involved in and cases where I'm not, as well as a few requests for comments. I've also made occasional non-admin AfD closures. A large part of the reason why I signed up is to receive more experience in DR. I'm not the kind of person who will launch personal attacks, blow up over not getting my way, etc. I think experienced Wikipedians need to do a better job at assuming good faith. I promise to recuse myself from any cases where I may be too biased to be fair. If I do not meet an experience standard for DRN/V, then that's OK. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 17:23, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Guye, you are welcome to WP:DRN as a volunteer! There is no set standards for experience required to be a volunteer here and your prior experience at RFC, ANI and others is sufficient for this. I hope to see you mediating some cases soon. Make sure you are watching the noticeboard amd its talk page to stay updated. Feel free to disturb me if you need any help.

Melodie Crittenden

Why did you add a {{update}} tag to Melodie Crittenden? There's really nothing to update. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 02:40, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@TenPoundHammer: Because the most recent source was from 2008. We cannot allow BLPs to be potentially 9 years out of date. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 17:35, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

But nothing else has been said about her in the intervening years. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 17:41, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@TenPoundHammer: Fine. But it says something about her lasting importance if no one talks about her anymore. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 17:51, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

DRN Newsletter 1

Hello Mr. Guye Thank you for volunteering at the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard. The community appreciates your help. You are receiving this message to let you know of a couple of important changes at the noticeboard.

Announcements

Firstly, I, Yashovardhan Dhanania, have taken over as Coordinator for the term June 2017 - July 2017, taking over charge from Robert McClenon who finally gets a well deserved break after serving 3 continuous terms as the DRN coordinator!
The DRN conducted a Roll call in Late April which ended on 31 March, 2017. You must have received a talk page notification regarding the roll call. The list of volunteers has thus been updated and members who did not respond to the roll call have been removed. If you are receiving this notification, your name still exists on the volunteer list. As a result of the roll call, we are left with just 18 volunteers at the Volunteer list. If you feel you won't be able to actively assist at the noticeboard, please remove your name from the list.

Remember

You are reminded to regularly help in keeping the noticeboard up to date. The best way to do so is to watchlist the DRN page and regularly respond to new cases. You are also requested to watchlist the DRN Talk page and keep an eye there for important announcements, regular tips and other suggestions. You can also ask any doubts you have on the DRN Talk page itself.

You are receiving this message because you are a volunteer at the The dispute Resolution noticeboard. To stop receiving messages in the future, remove your name from The volunteer list.
Regards, Yashovardhan (talk) 20:09, 6 June 2017 (UTC) (current DRN coordinator)[reply]

I Take This Woman‏‎

Hey there @Mr. Guye: In the edit summary for I Take This Woman you wondered why I coded the intro. It was to take a perfectly good disambiguation page off of the Dormant Pages list by making an innocuous edit. That you followed up made it even better. Of course, the list hasn't been updated since then so it hasn't cleared off. Is there a way to protect a page from the Dormant list? — Myk Streja ^{[citation needed]} 19:03, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Myk Streja: I have no idea how to do this, but I am also interested in how to 'protect' a page from the list, or better yet, force an update of the Dormant Pages list. Thanks for communicating. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 21:38, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Guye If I ever find out how, I'll share. — Myk Streja ^{[citation needed]} 23:29, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A new case you can take

As you had shown interest in volunteering at the Dispute Resolution noticeboard, I would suggest you take this case Talk:Malayalam#Debates on_the_origins_of_Malayalam_-_June_2017 to get started. Both parties are willing for moderated discussion and a volunteer is needed. Yashovardhan (talk) 07:37, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Halifax 57 Rescue

Hello Mr. Guye. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Halifax 57 Rescue, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: No ambiguously promotional, tone is neutral enough. WP:AfD candidate? Thank you. Shirt58 (talk) 08:17, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you voted on

This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you voted on (2 RfCs, actually, one less than six months ago and another a year ago). The new RfC is at:

Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#RfC: Allow private schools to be characterized as non-affiliated as well as religious, in infobox?

Specifically, it asks that "religion = none" be allowed in the infobox.

The first RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:

15 June 2015 RfC: RfC: Religion infobox entries for individuals that have no religion.

The result of that RfC was "unambiguously in favour of omitting the parameter altogether for 'none' " and despite the RfC title, additionally found that "There's no obvious reason why this would not apply to historical or fictional characters, institutions etc.", and that nonreligions listed in the religion entry should be removed when found "in any article".

The second RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:

31 December 2015 RfC: RfC: Religion in infoboxes.

The result of that RfC was that the "in all Wikipedia articles, without exception, nonreligions should not be listed in the Religion= parameter of the infobox.".

Note: I am informing everyone who commented on the above RfCs, whether they supported or opposed the final consensus. --Guy Macon (talk) 03:30, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

On {{non sequitur}}

Hello! I noticed you flagged a section on Creflo Dollar's page with {{non sequitur}}. I've fixed up the offending section, thanks for pointing it out! For future reference, that's not what "non sequitur" properly means, and in this case a better tag would have probably just been {{Confusing}}, with the same reason.

It does make sense - the dates were out of sequence, and "non sequitur" does literally translate to something like "not sequential" - but non sequitur has a specific meaning. It refers to something that is introduced out of context, that doesn't make sense with the preceding statement. As noted on the Please Clarify page, the tag is used to mark "individual mentions of someone or something in an out-of-context way, the relevance of which is unclear". The section marked did make sense in relevance and context, but the dates were wrong and thus confusing.

Thanks again for the notice, and for contributing! --The Human Spellchecker (talk) 05:16, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
