Interwiki Stadtholder (list of)

Hi,

Just in case you're the JdH who was trying to distinguish between Steedhâlder en List fan Steedhâlders on fy:.
As far as I can see, you're adding the list interwiki to the main article page. I'll put it back for now; you might want to check what it's supposed to be. Mysha

Wees aub voorzichtig met veranderingen. Het probleem dat ik heb proberen op te lossen is dat er interwiki conflicten waren. Op nl:wiki zijn er namelijk aparte artikelen voor nl:Stadhouder en nl:Lijst van stadhouders in de Nederlanden. die beiden verwezen naar en:Stadtholder. Dat heeft tot gevolg dat interwiki botjes in de problemen komen, en de automatische propagatie op alle anderstalige wiki's geblokkeerd wordt. Wat je niet wilt doen is Steedhâlder en List fan Steedhâlders dezelfde interwiki's meegeven, waardoor er opnieuw een interwiki conflict ontstaat. Aangezien List fan Steedhâlders nog leeg is raad ik je aan het voorlopig maar zo te laten. Zodra List fan Steedhâlders voltooid is ga dan aub te rade bij nl:Stadhouder, nl:Lijst van stadhouders in de Nederlanden, de:Statthalter en de:Liste der Statthalter in den Niederlanden om dubbele verwijzingen te voorkomen.
Als je ondanks die goede raad toch iets wilt veranderen dan moet ik er bij je op aandringen overeenkomstige veranderingen aan te brengen op alle interwiki's; als je dat niet doet onstaat er namelijk opnieuw een interwiki conflict. JdH 10:24, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

See this action of User:Dbachmann who merged the two en: articles. HenkvD 15:04, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ooh, two people have left incomprehensible messages here. Well, they're unlikely to change that now, after all that time, so I guess I'll have ignore those. Mysha (talk)

Deadly sin?

Hi Mysha and thanks for your improvements to articles on sailing, especially about lug sails. I just want you to know that a tag asking for a WP:Reliable source doesn't denote a "deadly sin". Instead, it is a request for verification. If none exists, then the content should be removed with no onus on the editor, who provided the material in the first place and in good faith. Keep up your good efforts and please know that I appreciate your work! Sincerely, User:HopsonRoad 14:17, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, well it was "deadly" in the sense that it killed my joy in improving the article at that time. But the main function of that word was, of course, the contrast: The same content had lived on Lugger for some time without being bothered, while it wasn't even about the topic and wasn't very well structured. Yet, now that it got a place of its own, suddenly edit after edit was needed just to tell the audience that something was amiss. In general, that's an approach on en: I don't like very much, BTW: These templates addressing the editors. Some as simple as "Needs goobledigook", where for a reader it ought to be 'Lacks goobledigook'. But some also tell the reader: "This is going to be erased shortly."; with the reader going "Yes? Does that mean it's wrong?"

Anyway, thanks for the help. Mysha (talk)

I'm glad that you're back and in good spirits, Mysha! I felt badly that my clobbering the article with templates was discouraging. In fact, you might wish to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Sailing, where you'll see that many articles pertaining to sailing don't meet Wikipedia's standards, as Lugger didn't when you rightly decided to carve off the lug sail topic. And, yes, templates are mainly intended to advise readers that the material may not be up to Wikipedia standards, while simultaneously "encouraging" editors to fix the problem. In your case, it was discouraging for which I apologize. Cheers, User:HopsonRoad 13:37, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Apology accepted. Mysha (talk)

Hi Mysha, I notice that several of your talk page posts have been unsigned—a signbot came by and added it later. You may have been in a hurry and forgot, otherwise, you can click at the bottom of the edit window, where it says "Sign your posts on talk pages: ~~~~" and it will add the "~~~~" automatically.
