Re Singular they

Hi Mx. Granger. At Wikipedia, exclusive of talk pages, the majority of my edits relate to grammar fixes. The majority of my substantive edits relate to linguistics. If that's an area of particular interest to you, feel free to ping me re any questions, comments, or observations on the topic. I really do appreciate how your recent edit at singular they improved on my first whack at it. Cheers. --Kent Dominic·(talk) 23:34, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Kent Dominic, thanks for the message. I do sometimes edit linguistics-related articles (you can see a bit of my work at Fuliiru language, for instance), but I have many interests and tend to drift from topic area to topic area. Who knows, we might run into each other at another linguistics article at some point. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 16:47, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Speaking of running into each other: good catch on my "recognized" snafu today. Cutting and pasting errors apply to thoughts as well as text. As attested in the source I cited, what's been recently recognized in sociolinguistics is the nexus between the "singular they" phrase and its currency among people who don't identify as male or female. Otherwise, it's long been acknowledged that "they" is epicene regardless of grammatical number.

I think the article is wrong about that currency having emerged in the early 21st century. I'm nearly certain it first occurred in the 1920s on a niche basis relating to psychology, i.e., when modern distinctions between sex and gender really took off. I might one day further investigate that bit of linguistic trivia. Cheers. --Kent Dominic·(talk) 17:42, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:List of Taiwanese films of the 2020s

Hello, Mx. Granger. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "List of Taiwanese films of the 2020s".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^Read! Talk! 22:44, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

"Interactive Brokers"

Hi again! I'm still struggling to get my requests reviewed, if you're willing to revisit the article's Talk page. Or, if you have any suggestions for where I might be able to help from editors, I'd be interested since my posts at relevant WikiProjects don't seem to have prompted interest. Thanks again! K at IBKR (talk) 19:40, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Unfortunately these things can often take quite a while. There's currently a backlog of more than 100 requests, and we're all volunteers who also have other on-wiki projects we're working on. I'll try to look at the Interactive Brokers talk page again soon. In the meantime, my best advice is to be patient. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 18:14, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Please stop your edit warrring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on The Battle at Lake Changjin II. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Estnot (talk) 20:18, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

It seems you have reinstated your preferred version of the paragraph, instead of the version that has been stable for about a month, and you still haven't participated in the discussion on the article's talk page. Please join the discussion I started at Talk:The Battle at Lake Changjin II. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 20:41, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

I reinstated my preferred version of the paragraph because that was the stable version of the paragraph prior to your removal of it and also because the responsibility to explain the revert falls squarely on you, not me. Once again I should remind you of the chronology of edits. User 76.11.114.137 authored the original version of the paragraph [1]. You removed it [2] and I reverted your removal.[3]. This means that you are now the one who has now been reverted and should as a result not restore your changes until you have got the consensus on the talk page to do so. (wp:brd) Estnot (talk) 04:25, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

The unsupported claim was originally added by you (not by the IP user), first in early February and then again yesterday after the other version of the paragraph had been stable for a month. In any case, I've responded at the article talk page – we should probably keep discussion centralized there. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 16:29, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

Would you consider becoming a New Page Reviewer?

Graphs are unavailable due to technical issues. Updates on reimplementing the Graph extension, which will be known as the Chart extension, can be found on Phabricator and on MediaWiki.org. Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months. (Purge) Hi Mx. Granger, I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join the new page reviewing team, and after reviewing your editing history, I think you would be a good candidate. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; the new page reviewing team needs help from experienced users like yourself. Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, most pages are easy to review, and habits are quick to develop). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR. If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message on my talk page or at the reviewer's discussion board. Cheers, and hope to see you around, (t · c) buidhe 20:30, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Regarding Special:Contributions/14.200.217.115's edits on Bamboo network

Judging by the egregious claims and non-constructive edits made by Special:Contributions/14.200.217.115 on top of the tendentious signs of WP:DISRUPTIVE editing by repeatedly removing reliable sources and cited additions posted by other editors as well as violating of WP:REMOVECITE, WP:REFREMOVAL, WP:IDONTLIKEIT, & WP:NOTCENSORED policies on Bamboo network, I was wondering if you can help me report Special:Contributions/14.200.217.115 for disruptive editing as well as request page protection for Bamboo network since I never filed one of these before over my last 3.5 years of editing. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated. SimeonManier (talk) 16:23, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Although I contested the PROD and oppose deletion, I don't think the IP user's edits were disruptive. I would suggest engaging with their concerns on the article's talk page. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 20:30, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Undo edit

Please help me understand why my edit of Senator Langfort was undone: - you requested a second source of the voting record. Surely the voting record of the US congress is sufficiently reliable? Would it help if I include a link to a newspaper? - you mentioned that we should not include the entire voting record of each senator. However this is a vote that was decided 86 for and 11 against (his position is a deviation on a non-partisan issue) and on a life and dead issue for many involved. Surely it has at least as much relevance as some of the other votes that are described. If not, why? Thank you in advance! Enrakort (talk) 10:20, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

I asked for a secondary source. Legislators vote on all kinds of bills, and from the sources you cited (a primary source from senate.gov that lists everyone who voted for and against the law, and a source that describes the law but doesn't mention Lankford) I don't see any reason to think that Lankford's vote on that particular bill is important enough to be worth mentioning in the article. If you can provide citations to newspaper articles (or other secondary sources) that discuss Lankford's vote, that would help demonstrate its importance. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 10:33, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

Sharbat

Hi, i saw your ping in your edit-summary, i'm not sure to get you correctly, could you tell me what edit on mines you're talking about ? Thanks.---Wikaviani ^(talk) (contribs) 12:10, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi Wikaviani, I meant this edit, in which you added the undefined reference named "CIA". —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 12:11, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Ah i see, my bad, i wanted to move some sources from the ice cream article to sharbat since they were more relevant there, but i guess that in the copy-paste process, i screwed up with the CIA source, anyway, on a second thought, that source is not good enough to be cited in the article. Hope to have been clear. Best.---Wikaviani ^(talk) (contribs) 12:17, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Terrence Duffy (an article untagged)

Terrence A. Duffy was in the news today talking about FTX (company) I took a look at the article and then "talk" and it looks like the article was at first being managed entirely by public relations, he was called out on it in talk, and then the article moved to management by his staff with an admission of conflict of interest. Is there a way to alert users to this? and is it really acceptable in any reasonable way? Flibbertigibbets (talk) 20:36, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Does the article have NPOV or verifiability problems (or other issues)? If not, what are we alerting users to? Unless there are issues that need to be addressed, I don't think it would be productive to add a "disclosed paid editing" badge of shame to the top of the article. If badges of shame like that were made standard across the wiki, their main effect would be to create an incentive for more undisclosed paid editing, which is more difficult to keep track of and respond to than disclosed paid editing. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 08:48, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

I see your point, this entry could/perhaps should be an exception to an approach in managing a sitewide concern.

The talk speaks to omissions regarding MF Global; which has parallels to FTX (company); Statements regarding FTX is why I was looking at Terrence A. Duffy. MF Global has a profound influence on the protection of customer funds when they are intermixed with trading..

What I can tell from talk is that this entry is a very bad case of public relations, a worst case. That is still being noticed by people - I agree with Ganesha811 there has to be a warning tag in this instance. I disagree with the justification that Ganesha811 provided.

The justification is that there are known omissions as documented by talk - that are important today with Duffy actually speaking out about FTX and taking the high ground! in retrospect. (even in the context of MF Global!, very ironic) The other justification is the talk itself which outlines the extent the page has been managed. The entry is the worst case of public relations

Flibbertigibbets (talk) 12:54, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

If there are important omissions in the article, then by all means rectify them or tag the article accordingly. What I don't support is a permanent tag that stays even after all the problems with the article have been resolved. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 19:18, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

A permanent tag - not a good thing.. agreed.. Flibbertigibbets (talk) 23:11, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the Clarification!

Much gratitude for the help. I didn’t see that it didn’t say that much in regards to criticisms of hate speech itself. Do you have any other advice I could perhaps use? Wolfquack (talk) 15:22, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

No problem. The word "criticism" in section headings is something that often stands out to me, and it should often be avoided for the reasons described here: WP:CSECTION.

As for advice – this isn't really related to the Hate speech article, but my general advice when adding material to Wikipedia is to look for sources first, then summarize what they say. Sometimes editors first write what they believe, then hunt for sources that say something similar, but this can lead to biased and poorly-sourced articles. Better to let the article's content flow from what the sources say. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 15:39, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

@Mx. Granger Thank you for the advice! Wolfquack (talk) 17:24, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

WHO revert

I think we both watch WHO and I think we are both used to seeing IP vandalism. I think the recent 1946 edit is correct, so I reverted your revert. However, it's complicated and if I've misread it, sorry and please revert me. CT55555(talk) 16:47, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the message. The first source says "The Constitution was adopted by the International Health Conference held in New York from 19 June to 22 July 1946, signed on 22 July 1946 by the representatives of 61 States (Off. Rec. Wld Hlth Org., 2, 100), and entered into force on 7 April 1948." The second source says "WHO’s Constitution came into force on 7 April 1948 – a date we now celebrate every year as World Health Day." Neither source supports the IP's initial claim of "7 April 1956" or the IP's subsequent claim of "7 April 1946", as far as I can tell. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 16:52, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

I looked quickly and saw the corresponding year in a footnote, so assumed it was a good edit. You've clearly checked it out more carefully. Thanks. I stand corrected. CT55555(talk) 16:58, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
