Do not edit the summary pending an agreement made at a prior date. OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 17:13, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's odd, I don't see any agreement made at a prior date on the article's history or the article's talk page. Care to point me to the location of this discussion? RecycledPixels (talk) 18:42, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please look back in the history regarding Sam4u. As stated before the summary is fine as it is, if you making a change or edit on it please make a note in the talk page. OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 18:58, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are confused. Sam4u has never edited this article, unless he is using some other user name, and there is no discussion in the edit history. I will casually point out that your message here and your actions did seem unreasonably combative, but after seeing the note on your user page I will assume that was unintended on your part. Just so you know. RecycledPixels (talk) 19:03, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Right? Combative is not the word. Firslty, a summary is supposed to something small as noted with the current, appropriate summary. Secondly you do not need all the reasons placed on the summary remember you are summarising. Thirdly there was no reason to even change the summary and yes there was a disc Joan on the pages history regarding A) summary layout and B) whether microburst should be included. OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 20:04, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Combative is the right word. When you leave a note on the talk page of someone who has put a lot of work into an article that says "Do not edit the summary pending an agreement made at a prior date" [1] followed by an immediate change to the article with the edit summary "Do my alter the summary it is fine as it is" [2] , that's something that most experienced editors would view as unreasonably combative, especially when I had already familiarized myself with the edit history and the talk page history of the article before doing anything. Disagreeing with some of my edits is fine, telling me why you think my edit is wrong is fine, but telling me not to change it from your preferred version is never going to go over well around here.

With regards to the substance of the changes you are trying to impose, which is a relatively trivial change ("Crashed on takeoff due to low altitude wind shear, crew error, and air traffic control error" vs "Crashed on takeoff due to low altitude windshear and pilot error"), I've seen your other edits and notice that you use the aviation herald site as a reference much of the time. It's worth pointing out that that page has an incomplete summary of the investigation's findings. If you look through the actual investigation report, on page 66, there are two parts of the "contributing factors" section of the report. The first is three items related to mistakes made by the crew, which the avherald site does include although it left off the fact that the commission faulted the cabin crew for not noticing that the trainee pilot, who was supposed to be seated in the passenger cabin, was in fact in the cockpit, which was why "crew error" is a better summary than "pilot error" ; the second part of that section is three items related to procedural errors made by "Servicios a la Navegación en el Espacio Aéreo Mexicano" including the failure of ATC to communicate important variations of wind direction, wind speed, and visibility and the lack of supervising personnel. That section was not included at all on the avherald site. My addition of "air traffic control error" in the infobox summary was pretty concise, to the point, and relevant. RecycledPixels (talk) 21:09, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The summary has already been discussed and finalised. Do not change it, if you want to, bring it up on the talk page first before you change it. Secondly you are including to much on the summary.ive done that before and trust me you don’t want to be wanted about it. So leave it be. OrbitalEnd48401 (talk) 21:23, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Red yeast rice GA review

I believe I have addressed the comments in the first pass for the red yeast rice article review for GA status. Disclosure: at my User page I disclose that from 2004-2018 I was a consultant to dietary supplement companies (now retired). During that time none of my clients ever asked me to edit Wikipedia, nor were aware that I edited articles at Wikipedia. None of my clients sold red yeast rice products during the times I worked for them. I wrote several articles for trade magazines about RYR. Most recent (2010) at page 33 at https://en.calameo.com/read/000151313b0c4beef2146 David notMD (talk) 16:52, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I see you are still doing work on the article and I'm going to be pretty busy in the real world for the next few days, so I'll wait until you've done what you're working on before making another pass. RecycledPixels (talk) 06:12, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I will be traveling June 25-30, and bust with stuff, but with internet access. If you want to continue the review, go ahead, but I may be slow in my responses. David notMD (talk) 13:50, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

May be able to work on this now, but more after 30th.David notMD (talk) 22:37, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, hopefully I will be getting back at it today, I'm only semi-busy today. RecycledPixels (talk) 14:32, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Are you waiting for some action by me? I am at home now, but traveling again on 19th, so hoping to conclude this before then. P.S. I have asked Doc James to look at the article, as he is an extremely active editor on medical and health topics, whose contributions I trust. He has not yet edited the article, but may show up. David notMD (talk) 10:48, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, the ball is in my court, but I took some days off for the holidays, preceeded by a very busy woprk schedule, so things may be settling down for me in the next couple of days. Sorry about the delay, I thought I was going to get to it sooner. RecycledPixels (talk) 16:45, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am willing to wait. Six months passed between my nomination and your agreement to do the GA evaluation. However, if you decide that you will not be able to continue the process, let me know so that the nomination can start over with a new reviewer. David notMD (talk) 05:08, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for getting back to this. I intend to do a Did You Know for the article, and in process, will attempt to address the notes you left on the GA review. David notMD (talk) 10:44, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, RecycledPixels -- I was reading through the HathiTrust source, checking against the early paragraphs of the Sturgis article, and while I'm seeing heavy reliance on that source, I'm not seeing paraphrasing that's so close it concerns me. Do you remember which section it was that had concerned you? --valereee (talk) 11:26, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Valereee: The Biography section. See comparison below between the source and the article. RecycledPixels (talk) 15:53, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

New York State's prominent and progressive men, pp. 337-339	Thomas Sturgis article as written
Thomas Sturgis, son of William and Elizabeth Sturgis, was born in this city on April 30, 1836, and was educated in the public schools, chiefly at Grammar School No.40, in East Twentieth Street. Following the bent of his father, he became, at the age of sixteen, a clerk in a wholesale dry-goods house. The Civil War was then in progress, but being too young to go to the front, he joined the Twenty-second Regiment, New York State Militia (then just organized by Colonel Lloyd Aspinwall), to get some preliminary training. In the spring of 1864, however, when eighteen, he entered the army, and served until the end of the war. He received from Governor Andrew of Massachusetts a commission as first lieutenant and adjutant of the Sixtieth Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, and was post-adjutant in charge of the prison for Confederate soldiers at Camp Morton, near Indianapolis, Indiana, in the summer and autumn of 1864. On the muster out of this regiment, he was commissioned first lieutenant in the Fifty-seventh Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteers, then commanded by Brigadier-General N.M. McLaughlen. With this officer he served in various staff positions as aide-de-camp and assistant adjutant-general, at brigade and division headquarters in the Ninth Army Corps. He was taken prisoner at the battle of Fort Steadman, before Petersburg, Virginia, and was confined in Libby Prison, Richmond, was exchanged, and served in the army until the troops were disbanded in the Summer of 1865.	Thomas Sturgis was born on April 6 or 30, 1846, to Wiliam and Elizabeth Sturgis,[4][5] in New York City. He attended New York City public schools,[4] including Grammar School No. 40. When he was 16, Sturgis began working as a clerk at a wholesale dry goods house.[5] Upon the outbreak of the American Civil War, Sturgis joined the twenty-second regiment of the New York State Militia. When he turned 18 in 1864, Sturgis enlisted in the Sixtieth Massachusetts Regiment, commissioned as a first lieutenant and adjutant of the Sixtieth regiment. Sturgis served as post-adjutant of a prisoner-of-war camp near Camp Morton in Indiana in summer and autumn 1864. After the Sixtieth was mustered out, he was commissioned as a first lieutenant in the Fifty-seventh, serving in various capacities as an aide-de-camp and an assistant adjutant general at the army camp, rising to be assistant adjutant general of the First Division of the Ninth Army Corps, attached to the Army of the Potomac. At the Battle of Fort Stedman, Sturgis was taken prisoner, held in Libby Prison, and exchanged,[5]:338 serving until the end of the war in 1865.[5]
Mr. Sturgis reentered business in New York in 1865, but in the spring of 1868 went West and became a stock-raiser in southwest Missouri. He was general land agent of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad for the southwest counties of that State, and, in connection with Governor Fletcher of Missouri, secured for the railroad the right of way through the Indian Territory on the thirty-fifth parallel. In 1878 he went to Cheyenne, Wyoming, and for fifteen years was engaged in farming, cattle- and sheep-raising, banking, mining, railroad, and irrigation enterprises. He helped to organize and was president of the Stock Growers' National Bank at Cheyenne, and of the Cheyenne and Northern Railroad; was for fourteen years secretary of the Wyoming Stock Growers' Association, and of the National Cattle Growers' Association. He was a member of the Upper House of the Territorial Legislature, and chairman of the Republican Central Committee of the Territory.	After the conclusion of the war, Sturgis briefly studied law,[4] before moving to west to Neosho[3] in Southwest Missouri in spring 1868.[5] He managed several farms,[3] and worked as a general land agent for the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, and negotiated with Native Americans on behalf of then Governor of Missouri Thomas Clement Fletcher, gaining right of way to build a railroad on the 35th parallel. Sturgis moved to Cheyenne, Wyoming, in 1878[5] and was involved in banking, railroads and stockraising, spending fifteen years in the city.[4] Sturgis became the leader of the Republican Party in Wyoming.[3] He married Helen Rutgers Weir, daughter of Robert Walter Weir,[2] on June 9, 1880. Sturgis organized and served as president of the Stockgrowers National Bank in Cheyenne.[5] He was involved in the founding of and served as president of the Cheyenne and Northern Railway.[6] He was secretary of the Wyoming Stock Growers Association for 14 years, and secretary of the National Cattle Growers Association.[5] He was elected to the Wyoming Territorial Senate and chairman of the Republican Central Committee of the Territory while in Cheyenne,[5] serving from 1882 to 1883.[4]
In 1888 Mr. Sturgis returned for a second time to his native city, and reentered business here. He became a general contractor for the construction of buildings, etc., and is prominent in that important line of business. He is also connected as director and stock-holder with the Consolidated, Knickerbocker, and American Ice companies of this city, and with the Wyoming Development Comany and the Cheyenne Gas and Electric Light Company. He was appointed a civil-service commissioner of this city by Mayor Strong in 1896, and later in the same year fire commissioner, holding the latter office until the end of Mayor Strong's administration. In May, 1899, Governor Roosevelt appointed him a member of the reorganized board of managers of the New York State Reformatory at Elmira, of which board he was elected president.	Sturgis returned to New York City in 1887 or 1888,[4][5] opening a building company, Sturgis & Hill.[4] Sturgis soon became prominent in New York City business, owning stock or being a director of the Consolidated Ice Company, the Knickerbocker Ice Company, the American Ice Company, the Wyoming Development Company, and the Cheyenne Gas and Electric Light Company.[5] He became treasurer of the Union Stock Yards. He was appointed to the Civil Service Commission of New York in 1896 and was made a trustee of the Elmira Correctional Facility in 1899,[4] being elected president of the latter's board.[5] Sturgis served as New York City Fire Commissioner from January 1, 1902 to December 31, 1903.[4] He died February 25, 1914 in Eastbourne, England.[4][1]

I compared the three side-by-side versions at https://www.prepostseo.com/plagiarism-comparison-search and I'm not finding anything, really. There's one use of 'summer and autumn' that might be too close, so I'll go change that, but otherwise everything looks pretty kosher. The information is the same, but the language isn't, according to that comparison. (I usually check with Earwig, but since the HathiTrust isn't readily available it's not possible.) Thanks for your diligence! --valereee (talk) 16:04, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for checking. RecycledPixels (talk) 16:05, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Editor of the Week

		Editor of the Week
		Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week in recognition of your Aviation edits. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:MX submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

I nominate Editor RecycledPixels to be Editor of the Week for his outstanding work in aviation. He's been an editor for over 13 years and has 15,000+ edits (under another username). My favorite work he's done is Aeroméxico Connect Flight 2431, a passenger flight that resulted in no fatalities but triggered a detailed investigation on the causes of the accident. I mention this in specific because it is extremely difficult to find sources and research on a topic that yielded no fatalities (since it wouldn't be on the headlines after a day or two). Other aviation articles he's written have the same degree of awesomeness: US-Bangla Airlines Flight 211, Eastern Air Lines Flight 512, Pan Am Flight 214, and United Airlines Flight 297, to name a few. RecycledPixels has been a long-time member of this community, a pleasure to work with, and I cannot offer a better candidate for EotW!

DYK for American Airlines Flight 320

On 23 June 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article American Airlines Flight 320, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that although the captain of American Airlines Flight 320 was considered one of the most experienced pilots in the world, his crew was blamed for the fatal crash in 1959? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/American Airlines Flight 320. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, American Airlines Flight 320), 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.

Where?

In this article does it either say '"The cause(s) of the excessive pitch-up and steep climb after take-off was not determined."' or '"The review was unable to determine that the aeroplane became airborne early or at too low an airspeed, determined that the aeroplane should have been controllable even with the estimated centre of gravity being so far aft of the allowable limit, and therefore was unable to conclude that the position of the centre of gravity was the most significant factor contributing to the accident." It doesn't and those are quotes. This sloppy editing is a plague[3] to WP I see it far too often. Putting a reference on a sentence and the reference says no such thing....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 00:21, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you reverted me before I finished cleaning up that section and I got edit conflicted. I'm happy to clean it up, if you can give me a few minutes to work on it. Also, you can also use the {{cn}} tag on something you don't think is referenced, rather than delete significant parts of the article for being unreferenced. RecycledPixels (talk) 00:23, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I'm stepping away for a while now. I'll come back later to it. RecycledPixels (talk) 00:29, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Peer review for Pan Am Flight 7

Hi RecycledPixels, I just saw you closed the peer review for Pan Am Flight 7 because no one had commented on it. I was actually going to ask you if you would like some comments, but I didn't get around to it until right now! If you want, I can leave some feedback. Zetana (talk) 04:22, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Zetana. I'd appreciate that, if you get a chance. I'll revert my close of that peer review. Thank you. RecycledPixels (talk) 16:23, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take a look soon! Hopefully by tonight, but I'll have more time tomorrow. Zetana (talk) 23:51, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I won't be able to get to it tonight, but I should have time tomorrow night to take a closer look. Zetana (talk) 05:56, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Zetana. I just logged on and looked over your changes. At the end I saw you revert everything, and I reverted your revert because I thought they were good changes. But then I rechecked my watchlist and saw that it was just happening right now, so sorry if I messed you up, I thought it happened a while ago (dang UTC timestamps). RecycledPixels (talk) 22:16, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh it's alright, I wanted to revert my edits because I thought they were going a bit overboard. I've just left some comments exclusively on content-related stuff on the PR. Once those are resolved I can take a closer look at the prose. Zetana (talk) 22:28, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh wow. I've been watching that discussion and wasn't even aware that it related to a publication that I added to the list. I had to dig through my edit history to gain some context of why I would have singled that source out, and I'm starting to remember, but since the article I was looking at was deleted, I don't remember specifics of what the source said.

Re:MOS:GOD

God is capitalized only when it is a title for the deity of the Abrahamic religions

Where does the article say that Joe Donnell is a Jew, Christian, or Muslim? The article says that Donnell represents the Dakota people who practice different religions, including Christianity, traditional tribal religion, Native American Church, and Wocekiye. Viriditas (talk) 07:13, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You left out the first part of that sentence. "In biblical and related contexts, God is capitalized only when it is a title for the deity of the Abrahamic religions..." This is an article about a politician, not a biblical topic. Thus, read that paragraph again, which starts out: "Proper names and conventional titles referencing deities are capitalized: God, Allah, Freyja, the Lord, the Supreme Being, the Messiah." The rest of that paragraph carves out specific exceptions to that sentence, none of them apply here. RecycledPixels (talk) 15:25, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Promotion of Pan Am Flight 7

Congratulations, RecycledPixels! The article you nominated, Pan Am Flight 7, has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best articles on Wikipedia. The nomination discussion has been archived.

This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured article. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Buidhe (talk) via FACBot (talk) 12:05, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations, and thank you today when it is presented on the Main page. You introduced: "Pan Am Flight 7 is about an airline flight from San Francisco to Honolulu that never reached its destination. The article describes the flight, important details about the aircraft, the enormous search and rescue operation that was carried out when contact was lost with the aircraft, and details of the investigation that was carried out using a few pieces of recovered wreckage and the remains of a few of the victims. To this day, the cause of the crash has never been determined. Although there have been various theories, this incident remains an unsolved mystery."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:49, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Paradise Flight FAC

Just wanted to drop by to apologize that I didn't come back to the FAC in time - I've been offwiki for the most part for the extended weekend due to some real-life stuff and by the time I got back to it, the nomination had been archived. I'm not sure my support would have changed that single-handedly, but I still wanted you to know that I didn't decide to ignore you all of a sudden. Please ping me or drop me a message when you nominate your next FAC (whether it's that article or another) and I'll give it a review (and finish it this time!)
