Template:Infobox Slovak municipality

Hello, you copied this template from sk:Šablóna:Infobox Slovenská obec with the documentation. Please, do not spread this template between articles about cities of Slovakia, but use {{Geobox}}. I recommend you to request delete of this template as useless. --Bonnifac (talk) 20:15, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for pointing out the possibility for using the Geobox template. It does, indeed, seem to have all of the capability (and more) of the template I had begun to translate from the Slovak Wikipedia. I have incorporated the Geobox template into a small article on Rovensko. I agree with your suggestion to delete the template and documentation I had made. Thanks for the helpful tip. — 09:42, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

I feel honored, when you copied Slovak's templates, but I'm happier to see your decission and discover of Geobox ;). I updated Slovak's infobox yesterday, seeing how awful it looks like here, but we (or just me) are trying to replace infobox with great one geobox, it's long-term job. --Bonnifac (talk) 01:50, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:PPJ juliste.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:PPJ juliste.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 15:08, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I've added Non-free poster template tag. Hope that covers it. Objectivesea (talk) 16:06, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alisz Goriupp

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Alisz Goriupp, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.worldcat.org/identities/lccn-n2008-66224.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 12:51, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I did not consult, or even know about, the Worldcat page cited by the bot. In addition, the material the bot claims to identify as source material is a simple list of publication titles without creative content. The list I put into the article is more comprehensive and, I believe, adds some value by including a rough English translation of the article titles. Accordingly, I have removed the tag placed in the article by the bot. Thanks, though to CorenSearchBot for keeping article authors alert to the potential for copyvios getting into Wikipedia. — Objectivesea (talk) 13:04, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Meine Wikipedia Seite

Hallo,

du sprichst auch deutsch, richtig? Könntest du mit meine Wikipedia Seite auf Englisch ünersetzen? Oder kennst du jemanden der meine Seite bearbeiten könnte, damit sie auf dem genauen Stand gebracht werden kann?

gruss Dinzey (talk) 15:40, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ich habe einen Anfang gemacht, in die Neufassung der deutschen Seite ins Englische. Fühlen Sie sich frei, um es zu bearbeiten, wenn ich Fehler in der Übersetzung gemacht haben.
Freundliche Grüße, Objectivesea (talk) 11:52, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo Objectivesea,

Danke für den Anfang, wie können wir die gesamte Deutsche Seite ins Englische weiter Übersetzen? Wollen wir da Schritt für Schritt zusammen vorgehen? Klasse dass du das machst aber es sind viele Fehler drin. Ich könnte dir für jeden Abschnitt mal den Text geben, den müsstest du nur korregieren? 1. Personal life: Michél Mazingu-Sinda-Dinzey (October 15, born in 1972 in Berlin) he is a retierd German / Congolese International football player. Über deine Antwort würde ich mich sehr freuen Gruss Dinzey (talk) 15:09, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ich habe nichts dagegen zu tun ein bißchen mehr, aber Sie müssen angeben, was sind die vielen Fehler, damit ich korrigieren könnte. Besser noch, warum nicht bearbeiten Sie selbst den Artikel?
—Objectivesea (talk) 05:41, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo,

weil ich nicht weiss wie ich den selber korrigieren kann.Ich habe den kompletten Text vorbereitet, ist bei mir unter Diskussion zu sehen, im Prizip genau der gleiche Text in Deutsch übersetzt. Aber wenn du das möchtest, kann ich dir auch immer die Ergänzungen sagen? Gruss Dinzey (talk) 15:28, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ich habe drei Absätze angefügt. Informationen zum Bearbeiten der Wikipedia finden Sie hier: de:Hilfe:Seite_bearbeiten.

Hallo,

ich habe dir mal den Link kopiert, vielleicht kannst du mal bearbeiten? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Dinzey Unter eigende Diskussion habe ich das im grossen und ganzen mal erstellt. Ich hoffe das ist so Ok. Gruss Dinzey (talk) 11:03, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mail for the Interior

Good evening Objectivesea,

I received your YGM message on my talk, but did not find any mail. The function has worked for other users in the past, so I'm wondering if there was a problem if or you could resend. Hope you are well. The Interior (Talk) 01:56, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. I'd asked for a copy to be sent to my personal e-mail address, and had not received it, so I guess I made some kind of mistake on the original attempt to send. I've just resent it, and a copy has also showed up in my e-mail box, so I think it worked this time. Objectivesea (talk) 10:11, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Received! thanks Objectivesea! The Interior (Talk) 15:45, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the WP:ETF userbox

Objectivesea,

Thanks for the new WP:ETF userbox. I created the task force years ago, but I was never able to garner any significant community involvement and it has long been a dormant project. Just out of curiosity, are you interested in reviving it? With a significant number of Esperanto speakers here and a productive and successful Esperanto Wikipedia, I think that there is still a lot of potential in the ETF. I'm interested to hear what you think. Take care!

TFCforever (talk) 19:37, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. I like doing little graphical things. I am indeed interested in the idea and was unaware that the ETF is considered dormant for now. I'd like for us maybe to take a survey of active Wikipedian Esperantists to determine their level of interest and respective areas of expertise. Perhaps we should write a "Goals and Objectives" or "Mission Statement" to clarify things, both what's included and what is not. For example, is the goal of the Task Force to translate into English various articles from the Esperanto Wikipedia (biographies, organizations and clubs, etc.; to translate into Esperanto the Good Articles and Featured Articles or the missing ones from the essential Top 1,000 that we find existing elsewhere; to polish existing articles; or are there other important goals not mentioned here? That is, what is the scope of the ETF?
—Objectivesea (talk) 05:41, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oops. I see that a lot of this ground is already covered at the ETF's main page. Sorry for the unnecessary babble above.

John Atta Mills

I removed your recent addition to John Atta Mills as you had not provided a reliable source with a reputation for fact checking and accuracy to support a claim that has been contested by other editors. In addition, the content contained analysis and commentary that was not supported even by the self published websites that you had linked. -- The Red Pen of Doom 12:54, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Hans Michael Maitzen

The article Hans Michael Maitzen has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. j⚛e decker ^talk 00:33, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Joe, for pointing out the lack of references. I have now added a partial list of his publications, as well as footnotes pointing to his official biography page at the International Academy of Sciences. Hope that works. — 03:03, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Re: Richard Hofstadter‎

since "fellow traveller" is generally pejorative in the English context, I replaced with "informal supporter" but maintained the original link to the "Fellow traveller" article, which provides more context on the term

I completely agree. However, the problem is that the primary contributor, Rjensen, has invested a great deal of time (107 edits) adding pejoratives to the article.[1] I would greatly appreciate it if you would review Richard Hofstadter‎ for accuracy. I have previously brought this to the attention of Rjensen, who predictably waved his credentials around and tried to shoo me away. I believe he has introduced selective and I might say sneaky bias into this and other articles. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 08:56, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Move of Henry Louis Gates to Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

I appreciate your expertise in replacing the main title header Henry Louis Gates with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. but, in the process, the article's lengthy revision history has become hidden from all but the most knowledgeable users through its current positioning as the revision history of the redirect Henry Louis Gates. To the best of my knowledge, there would appear to be two ways to remedy the situation: 1) moving the article back to Henry Louis Gates (without touching the well-situated Talk:Henry Louis Gates, Jr.), then deleting what would again become a redirect, Henry Louis Gates, Jr. (with its brief revision history of six entries) and subsequently moving Henry Louis Gates again into the empty space left by the deletion of Henry Louis Gates, Jr. The other remedy, 2) would involve the more-complicated procedure of Wikipedia:How to fix cut-and-paste moves, with the article placed in the Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Since I don't have the technical proficiency to handle such matters, I thought of consulting with you and then, if need be, placing it in the holding pen. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 20:16, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Roman. I tried following your directions, but as I am not an administrator I do not, apparently, have the authority to do what is needed. I have requested the history merge be done, and a template acknowledging this is on the "Henry Louis Gates, Jr." page. Objectivesea (talk) 01:01, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings - since you created this page and seem to be relatively active I thought I would talk to you rather than anything else. Reviewing the WP:ACADEMIC I can't see on the page that this academic has notability. The references only say that she is an academic. The references almost all come from university web sites. Can you add something which shows that notability? Otherwise the page is likely to be deleted or redirected. 🍺 Antiqueight ^chat 14:15, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I came across this. I know it is some months ago, but for the future, please be aware of this guideline. Thank you. --Money money tickle parsnip (talk) 23:43, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'm concerned at the fact that some articles on significant topics get nominated for deletion, an action this is carried out relatively promptly, apparently without appeal, while articles on banal and trivial topics can grow seemingly without limit. This can discourage people who have worked in good faith as volunteers to create and improve articles, only to see the results of that work discarded. There is no doubt that Chuck Smith, the person who was the subject of the article that I unsuccessfully tried to have preserved, is a person of significant achievement who is worthy of a Wikipedia biography. Apparently, I was in error in how I attempted to draw attention to the article's impending deletion, a mistake for which I apologize, but the act of deleting the article was, I think, extremely short-sighted. As someone who has tried assiduously to maintain objectivity and fairness through numerous Wikipedia edits, I remain saddened by this unnecessary act, which I would tend to characterize as something approaching malicious vandalism. But I appreciate your good advice in the kind spirit in which it is offered. — Objectivesea (talk) 07:23, 23 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you believe that the outcome was wrong, you could talk to User:JzG, who took the decision to delete it. The deleted content is still in the database, and could easily be undeleted if it were judged appropriate to do so. But you would need to recognise that, just as you rightly say that those who worked on the article did so in good faith, so also the deletion was done in good faith. Describing it as "this unnecessary act, which I would tend to characterize as something approaching malicious vandalism" is not going to get you very far. --Money money tickle parsnip (talk) 09:09, 23 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, regarding the user whom you tried to contact, he has not contributed since early 2013.

Deletions and robots

Hi Objectivesea—firstly, thank you for your extensive contributions on topics like Esperanto. But I just wanted to say that I'm not a "robot" and neither are (most!) other people who raise concerns about notability. I obviously don't have it in for early-career academics, being one myself, and if you look at my own track record at Articles for Deletion, I have very rarely nominated anything for deletion and my keep/delete "votes" are fairly equal.

You've been here for 12 years so you're definitely familiar with notability guidelines and so on but, in my opinion, the best way to avoid AfD nominations, even unjust ones like the Lieve Fransen one, is just to make sure that you obviously meet the general guideline for whether an article is notable, which I think is really simple—multiple sources independent of the subject that cover them in some degree of detail. If you can't do that for an article then it's probably not a topic that needs an article yet. I came across Yujian Zheng while looking for contemporary Chinese philosophers with articles on English Wikipedia—the number of which is very slim right now—and not while browsing for academics to delete. I'd be very happy to withdraw my nomination in advance if you can turn up some independent reliable sources for Zheng. —Nizolan ^{(talk · c.)} 18:39, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Schedule F appointment

On 26 November 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Schedule F appointment, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that an estimated tens of thousands of U.S. federal workers could lose due-process job protections by being shifted into Schedule F appointments? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Schedule F appointment. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Schedule F appointment), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Cult images

Re this edit, you are perhaps not aware that in Indian English (in which the article is supposed to be written) "idol" is pretty much the standard word used in English for murtis, and does not carry the pejorative load it does in UK/US English (and no doubt Canadian). If that is not used they are probably better described as cult images, the correct English technical term, although some Indians misunderstand the "cult" bit. I've not seen "worshipable" used before, & find it an odd term that at the least needs explaining. Using "deity" might be better. I see from google that "worshipable" does exist, pretty much exclusively in not-very-well-translated texts on Hinduism, but I don't see it being used to distinguish between different types of images. Johnbod (talk) 11:52, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Johnbod. I am gradually improving the non-standard English of the article, adding wikilinks and regularizing its employment of italics and quotation marks, and I have now incorporated your very helpful suggestion. Objectivesea (talk) 16:26, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Objectivesea, it’s nice to meet you virtually! My name is Isabel and I’m a senior working on Wikipedia for my capstone project. In full transparency, I’m still learning the ropes and could use some guidance from Wiki experts.

I noticed you helped create an article I’ve been working on adding new scholarly literature, Food labelling and advertising law (Chile) and I was wondering if you might be able to give me any advice on improving my contributions? I look forward to learning from you. NUstudent1316 (talk) 18:23, 16 March 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by NUstudent1316 (talk • contribs)

Hello, Isabel. Thank you for letting me know about your edits to the article I originally created in September of 2018. As far as I can ascertain, what you have accomplished is a massive improvement to the article, nearly doubling its length and adding many, many footnoted references.

I appreciate the mission of you and your peers to provide neutral content to Wikipedia, and I empathize with your instructor, Joseph Reagle, whose deleted article on Failed predictions is wonderful. I have also had articles deleted at the behest of certain Wikipedians who have a sort of self-declared mission to remove material — sometimes entire articles — which they consider non-notable.

My criticism of your work is very minor; in a few places I think the punctuation could be improved, for example, introducing hyphens into compound modifiers and using em dashes to set off parenthetical expressions within sentences. Overall, I would say that you have wonderful aptitude for working to improve Wikipedia as a worthwhile encyclopedic reference. The content you have added is sound, and you clearly have the requisite ferret-like tenacity to uncover many hidden gems in peer-reviewed publications.

I wish you all success in your academic life at Northeastern University and in your subsequent scholarly career. — Erik
