De-orphaning links

Hi Sideriver84, please don't simply dump links to orphaned articles in the "See also" section on some relevant article. Try to work it in somewhere in prose, where context can be added. Also consider if the subject is important enough related to the article you are adding the link to. Thanks! intforce (talk) 09:41, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Adding articles to Category:Delete

Hi, regarding this edit - I would strongly suggest reading Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion (I know, it's a long, boring read). I've removed the page from that category for now, as I'm not sure what the rationale is for deleting it. SQL ^{Query me!} 18:52, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

National varieties of English

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Michael S. Hopkins, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. BilCat (talk) 19:12, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@BilCat: Hi, this is not an English variety change, but a correction of religious language. In Catholicism, priests are ordained men who administer Catholic sacraments (ie. Hopkins' communication). A "pastor" in Catholicism is an admin role, typically held by a priest of the parish. Unless there is a reliable source specifically stating that Catholics in America refer to their priest as their pastor, the correct term for the person who gave Hopkins communion for his space flight should be "priest". Sideriver84 (talk) 19:43, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

While I'm not Catholic, I actually did research this before reverting you. The actual source used in the article, which is from a Catholic news service, uses the term "pastor", not priest. Catholics in the United States do refer to their parish priest, not just any priest, as "pastor". See Pastor#Catholicism, and the cited quote there. So yes, this is an Engvar issue. BilCat (talk) 20:54, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@BilCat: I appreciate your research. I respectfully still disagree that the term "his pastor" should be used. There is no citation for the statement "In the United States, the term pastor is used by Catholics for what in other English-speaking countries is called a parish priest." The cited quote states that parish priests exercise pastoral care; it does not state that American Catholics refer to their priests as pastors. I did look at the source cited in Hopkins' article and the associated parish's website; the priest (named as Father James Kuczynski, not Pastor James Kuczynski) is the pastor (ie. administrator role) of Hopkins' church. Is the phrasing "On his first mission to the ISS, Father James H. Kuczynski, pastor of Mary Queen Catholic Church (Hopkins’ parish), arranged for him to bring the Eucharist, so that he could have Communion once a week." acceptable to you? Sideriver84 (talk) 21:06, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We don't generally need to mention the identity of non-notable people in articles that aren't specifically about them. I'd still prefer to stick with the term in the cited Catholic news source, which is "pastor". Feel free to raise the issue on the article's talk page, or elsewhere at a relevant project page. BilCat (talk) 21:23, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, will do that Sideriver84 (talk) 21:24, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if this is enough for you, but see "Pastor" at Catholic Terms. It explains why "Pastor" is not used as a title before a name, as on the parish's website. But American Catholics do talk refer to "my pastor", meaning their priest. I was surprised the first time I heard this used, and asked if they meant their priest, which they did. This is probably due to the strong Protestant influence in the US. BilCat (talk) 21:36, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@BilCat: Thanks for looking into this - appreciate the research. Sideriver84 (talk) 21:51, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

About Gordon E. Sanderson

Hi, E02162 here! I was wondering where you found that Gordon Sanderson was identified in January '21 when every source I've checked states that he was identified on June 30 '21.

Hey there, this CBC article dated "Jun 30, 2021 2:27 PM MT | Last Updated: 1 hour ago" states "Police said they identified Sanderson in January 2021 and that the case became an active homicide investigation after that." My understanding is that although he was identified in January, the police only released the information that he was identified in June 2021. The news I've seen is that on 29 June, the police stated that the remains had been identified, and on 30 June, his name was released. Sideriver84 (talk) 01:03, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. Updating Wikipedia to reflect his identification has been a mess and I just wanted to make sure that was accurate since it didn't say that date in the cited source. E02162 (talk) 1:24, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

No problem - I'd do the same thing if the situation was reversed. Sideriver84 (talk) 01:36, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia

Hi Sideriver84! Thank you for your contributions. It looks like you've copied or moved text from Russell Williams (criminal) into another page, and while you are welcome to re-use the content, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. If you've copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thanks! DanCherek (talk) 03:22, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@DanCherek: Thanks! Have edited and made a note.

September 2021

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Alexei Navalny, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. --Renat 01:03, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@RenatUK: Thanks! Noted.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Bassel Khaiat (October 28)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Bassel Khaiat instead.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Two copies of this page have been created, in draft space and in article space. It is not necessary to create two copies of the same page, and it annoys the reviewers. This is sometimes done in order to bypass Articles for Creation review. However, if a submitter is ready to have the article in article space, it can be moved into article space, rather than creating a copy. It is common for a page that has been duplicated in draft space and in article space to be nominated for deletion or proposed for deletion. If the article is kept, this draft should be redirected to the article. If the article is deleted, this draft may be kept for future improvement.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Bassel Khaiat and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Bassel Khaiat, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Robert McClenon (talk) 20:11, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Sideriver84! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

Edit to Zac Stacy

Hi, could you describe how you edited the Zac Stacy page? Are you using any special editing tools? What browser are you using?

The reason I ask is that in addition to the content that you added, your edit changed some existing refs to repeat the definitions, causing ref errors. It's the second time today that I've seen that happen, and I don't believe either of you did that deliberately, so I'm wondering if there is a problem with the Visual Editor. Schazjmd (talk) 22:26, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, it definitely seems to be a Visual Editor problem. It's being discussed on WP:Village_pump_(technical)#VisualEditor_duplicating_named_citations. Schazjmd (talk) 22:32, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Death of a Salesman

Noticed your edit on this article; I'm surprised such an iconic work of literature is so poorly represented on Wikipedia. The terms I would use to describe the quality of the article are too many but, suffice with "horse droppings" Mark^Dask 20:53, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Grupo Extra moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Grupo Extra, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Led Zeppelin, Plural vs. Singular

Not sure I agree about Led Zeppelin IS vs. Led Zeppelin ARE.

The Rolling Stones (plural) is a band. Mick Jagger is a Rolling Stone (singular). Ergo, Led Zeppelin is a band. So what is Jimmy Page? Because of this conundrum, I'd say that both "is", "were" and "are" are all acceptable. 24.228.103.144 (talk) 01:41, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Brittanee Drexel

Per WP:NCDEATH, articles about deaths that are definitely homicides but where there has been no conviction or guilty plea to a specific murder charge are always titled "Killing of ..." Should the defendant here be convicted of or plead guilty to the murder charge he's facing, then the article can be renamed to "Murder of ..."

Your submission at Articles for creation: Auf Kreta im Sturm und im Regen (March 13)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Dan arndt was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails the requirements of WP:NSONG, lacks significant coverage in multiple reliable sources.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Reject AIPAC (October 22)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Snowman304 was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Future projections are useless. You might as well say "a bajillion."

Who's leading the coalition? I mean that in terms of groups within it, as well as people within (or perhaps separate from) those groups.

Please also clean up the author lists in the citations. If Mary Smith and John Brown write an article, it would be best to do something like {{cite news ... |last1=Smith |first1=Mary |last2=Brown |first2=John ...}}
