On the inheritance Novel talk i've post a link to a shortened version only by 300 words but was very tricky, just wanted to get a few peoples approval before i post it :) Dastry (talk) 16:30, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

In regards to advertising (anonymous editor 80.221.45.99)

I wouldn't consider external links that lead to Finnish language resources on an article about Finnish language inappropriate. I posted it there with the best intensions. (Nicolae)

If you posted the link with your best intentions, then it was my mistake to label your actions as "advertising". However, I do not think that you understand Wikipedia's policy on external links. Please read about what you should link and what you should not link. The link that you added to the article can be categorized under numbers such as 4, 5, 13 on the "what you should not link" section. If you are still unsure as to why the article is considered "advertising" please let me know. — Jonadin(talk) @ 04:35, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
I understand your concerns. The page is not selling anything, and does not get ANY money from any sort of advertising. In fact, it doen's make any money in any ways. It has daily news from Finland in multiple language (I linked the english site) and has information on workplaces in Finland, data about Finland, and also has video and text lessons in Finnish. Since "this is Finland" and "visit Finland" were linked, I was very sure, that "What's Up Finland" is relevant to the topic. My intention was to make it possible for people to find these contents. I checked the other links in the articles (Finland and Finnish language) before I put it there. About "4" - the main intention was not to promote the site, but to make it possible for people to find relevant information. About "5" - the site does not make any money. About "13" - It is directly related. The site does not deal with anything else than "Finland" and "Finnish culture & language". And it does not sell anything to anyone. Please specify what does the site have that makes it inappropriate?
I believe that this part of number 13 is applicable to the website and article in question: "Similarly, a website on a specific subject should usually not be linked from an article about a general subject." Also, you are misinterpreting the usage of the word "promoting". Through your placement of the website in the external links section of any article, you are trying to draw readers of such article to your website. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, to promote means "to advance the interests of, move to a stronger or more prominent position." This does not necessarily mean you are trying to sell a product or something, because obviously your website is not.
Looking at the rest of the links on the pages Finland and Finnish language, I see where you could be misled. However, please take a look at the external links sections from the articles United States and Canada. Obviously, those articles have been much more tightly regulated and more closely watched over than Finland. The only external links listed on those articles are collections of data relating to history, maps, the government, or general information from either governmental websites/organizations or well-known repositories of such information. The external links section on the English language only contains links to well-known dictionaries and a University of Edinburgh project. I have matched the external links sections of "Finland" and "Finnish language" to "United States" and "English language" to remove excess and/or promotional links. I am not objecting to your website being on articles because it is an "inappropriate" website, but rather because it is inappropriate to be included on such encyclopedic articles that are a part of Wikipedia—articles designed to give readers information about a subject, not give them links to online resources. — Jonadin(talk) @ 21:06, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

resubmitted article on Anders Gunnar Lindquist

I have added the following:

1) citations [5,6] to the impact of his work also, two more discoveries he is known for

2) SIAM (Society for Industrial and Appl Math) News article on the impact of his work and quotations for receiving the Reid Prize.

3) 3 more influential papers of his from the 1970's

Please advise, Tryphon Georgiou — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tryphongeorgiou (talk • contribs) 18:20, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

What I mean by the "impacts of his works" not being described in the article, is that the article does not tell me why his contributions are important to mathematics. For instance, you can say that he "made important contributions to partial realization theory, stochastic modeling, estimation and control, and moment problems in systems and control," but that doesn't tell me what he did because I don't understand what that means. If there were wikilinks on those terms I would be able to click them to find out, but if he was not mentioned in the Wikipedia article on those things (e.g. "partial realization theory") then I would be skeptical of his actual contributions. So, in short, I believe that you should create new sections in the article which describe the contributions he made to those things mentioned. See Archimedes—there are sections which describe his work and the impacts they have. Obviously, Lindquist's may not be as long as his, but that is what I mean. — Jonadin(talk) @ 20:00, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Your review at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Anders Gunnar Lindquist

Dear Jonadin93,

I don't understand.

The SIAM news item cited as [16] also describes his contributions for receiving the prestigious Reid prize. SIAM is one of the most respected Math organizations.

Then there is an honorary degree from the Technion. I have links to that, where they discuss his contributions at the ceremony.

The impact of Lindquist's work has been explained in [5,6]. These two references are comprehensive: they are festschrift volumes to Lindquist's honor and describe in technical detail his impact.

The subjects of "Stochastic Control", "Stochastic Separation Principle," "Kalman filter", "Partial Realization" where he has made important contributions are well established. Short of writing several additional technical articles, I don't see what I can do to satisfy your request. Please take another look at the paper and citations to see if it is now ok with the extra links.

Incidentally, Lindquist is a member of the "Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences." This is the oldest academy of engineering in the world. It's twin "Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences" is the one giving Nobel prizes. The one he is in, also gives prestigious prize, not as well known as the Nobel, but still of the same stature.

Please advise. Thanks, Tryphon Georgiou — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tryphongeorgiou (talk • contribs) 17:45, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

I see that the website I listed it being taken from is actually a copy of the bio on your website. While your disclaimer is recognized, the problem with the text is that it is not properly written for an encyclopedia (see numbers 1, 4, and 5 on Wikipedia:NOTPROMOTION).

Your review at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Tim Crouch

I'm not sure where you are looking to add inline citations. There are already several in-line links in the article. Please advise and give an example. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.245.46.202 (talk) 21:43, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

There are certain circumstances which require inline citations in WP:BLP articles. It is always a good practice to use inline citations anyway because any editor may remove information that is not directly sourced. Your addition of a Wikipedia article is not even a citation, because Wikipedia is not a reliable, third party source. (I think by placing those links you are trying to add wikilinks to the article, correct?) The websites listed need to be formatted in accordance to WP:Inline citation so that they appear as either footnotes, parenthetical citations, or some other form listed in that policy. (Plain external links such as example.com are not considered "inline citations".) For instance, go to the article Maroon 5 and click on the [1] a few words in (after "pop rock"). It will take you to the "References" category and to the line:
^ "Up close with Maroon 5- Facebook and Twitter competition to give patron meeting with Rock band – Entertainment – Jamaica Gleaner – Sunday | January 2, 2011". Jamaica Gleaner. Retrieved July 17, 2011.
This line gives the reader immediate knowledge that the information is verifiable, and the reader can even click on the link to read the content directly from the source. If you need more information, please let me know. — Jonadin(talk) @ 21:57, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

iCarly

I made a response to your comment on the Talk Page regarding why you think Seasons 2 and 3 should be merged on behalf of what you said regarding the production codes being the same. There's a reason for that. - Jabrona - 21:59, 2 February 2012

Your review at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Stakkattakktwo

What are the significant criteria... if not to offer fresh info to the fans? All those articles for bands meet your criteria but for a band that has no big label behind it... is not good enough for you? That's no free info... that's the why the big labels do things the way they like.... if they say so it's true... if not then it does not exist... I do not understand what's your problem with the specific band or album... when there are so many bands in wiki and every album has a separated link... with more info... This thing has become really annoying... what are your knowledge and say that this article is not good enough or does not inherit notability... what are you? A guru?? Do you know anything about music... or just fooling around to spend some time and kill my time too...? Do whatever you want... I'm sick of trying to prove that I'm not an elephant...

Hard Rocker 13 22:43, 2 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by AORmaniac13 (talk • contribs)

As I said in the comment below the AfC template, an album does not inherit the notability for its own article just because the band has its own article. There is separate criteria for albums as stated in WP:NALBUMS. The policy states that "Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article or discography article". Your article was not denied because it doesn't have a "big label behind it" but because, according to Wikipedia policy, it is not notable enough for its own article on this encyclopedia. If there is only a little information about its sales and/or reception it might still be better off just being put into the band's article. I myself do not claim to know anything about the album, band, record label, or how the industry works. I just reviewed your article based on Wikipedia policy, but if you are still confused as to why the album is not notable enough for its own article please let me know. — Jonadin(talk) @ 20:27, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

When the other albums from the band have a separated link with more info inside... then the new album must also have one... that's so easy to understand. The criteria for the other albums cannot be different from the new one... so if there's at least a separated link from the band's discography then all the albums should and it would be good to contain further info. Hard Rocker 13 23:33, 20 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by AORmaniac13 (talk • contribs)

I understand that their other albums have articles, but according to policy unless they contain more information than just the tracklist they are not notable. From WP:Notability (music): "An album requires its own notability, and that notability is not inherited and requires independent evidence. That an album is an officially released recording by a notable musician or ensemble is not by itself reason for a standalone article. Conversely, an album does not need to be by a notable artist to require a standalone article if it meets the General notability guideline. Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article or discography article, space permitting."
According to this, the band's other album articles without additional information are candidates for deletion. You are welcome to resubmit your entry for review (by clicking on "click here" halfway down the template) by another editor, but I do not believe that it justifies its own article. If another reviewer accepts it, then it will be its own article. I do appreciate you restating your concern in a more civil manner. — Jonadin(talk) @ 23:58, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

I do have civil manners but the weird policy or the personal opinions are rather different from man to man... what's good for you for an article is not for me and vice verca. When trying to add content is to help Wiki expands its info on several matters... when you delete it... then it's like a strict censorship... without any profound reason and some old policies. there's no progression if we follow with no thinking any kind of policies... that's all.

Your review at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Cris Lankenau

Can you give me specific notes for editing this entry for Cris Lankenau? I don't want to make the article too dry and I cite various references for the critical reception of the two films as well as the process Aaron Katz used with the actors. I have made some minor changes to the writing style and resubmitted, but any specific critiques would be much appreciated so I can successfully submit the article. Thank you. Sincerely, Surrender Abyss (Surrender Abyss (talk) 03:45, 4 February 2012 (UTC))

Unfortunately, encyclopedia articles generally have a "dry" attitude to them. That mood comes with having an impartial tone. ;] Your change of "The film was another critical success for Katz and brought Lankenau’s work an even higher profile, winning praise from well known film critics like J. Hoberman" to "The film received mostly positive reviews and Lankenau, along with Dunn and co-star Carlos Castillo, drew praise from well known film critics like J. Hoberman" was a good "edit towards neutrality" ("another critical success" -> "received mostly positive reviews" and "winning praise" -> "drew praise"). I feel like those phrases still aren't neutral though, and you could remove "well-known" from Hoberman's description and maybe add a quote. Such as:

The film garnered positive feedback, and according to American film critic James Hoberman it steadily builds "in intensity from sluggish interest to mild excitement, Cold Weather is a slight movie with a long, circuitous fuse—and that’s the point."

The quote isn't in there quite right, but I hope that serves my point of a neutral example. (If the reader doesn't know who J. Hoberman is, they can click on the wikilink and read that he was a "senior film critic" for some website and that will imply that he is "well-known".) Additionally, this part (in the first paragraph under "Career") seems over-promotional:

In keeping with the naturalistic, understated tone Katz wanted for the movie, he had Lankenau and co-star Erin Fisher write much of their own dialogue. Both Lankenau and Fisher received a writing credit on the film and for improvising the music for the closing credits. The film was well received by critics and was nominated for a John Cassavetes Award at the 2007 Independent Spirit Awards.

Check out the quotes and passages in Logan Lerman's article for an example. I see that the article was accepted as I was writing this, so congratulations! Let me know if you need anything else. — Jonadin(talk) @ 05:22, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your notes on the Cris Lankenau article. Although the article was accepted, I will use your suggestions to refine the entry and give it a more formal tone.

Best regards, (Surrender Abyss (talk) 05:40, 4 February 2012 (UTC))

can i propose pages be deleted or not?

Hi - question: can I propose articles for deletion or not? I recently proposed a few to be deleted (forgot to log in first) and not only were the deletion proposals removed instantly, but I got a message saying I could be blocked for doing this. I thought we were allowed to propose pages for deletion. I didn't edit the pages at all, just proposed them for deletion and stated why. How is this wrong? Or am I being unfairly attacked? Thank you. Abbythecat (talk) 00:11, 20 February 2012 (UTC)AbbythecatAbbythecat (talk) 00:11, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

PS - As I'm now too afraid to propose this page for deletion, maybe you can do so -- it is Crackle of Death, a "movie" which isn't even a real film (just TV episodes pasted together) and, in my opinion, it isn't noteworthy. Can you help me at least propose it be deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abbythecat (talk • contribs) 00:13, 20 February 2012 (UTC) Abbythecat (talk) 00:18, 20 February 2012 (UTC)AbbythecatAbbythecat (talk) 00:18, 20 February 2012 (U

The processes section of WP:DP describes the different ways for an article to be deleted. Once a deletion template ("proposed deletion" or "PROD") has been removed from the article, consensus must be reached to delete the article using the articles for deletion (AfD) process. Looking at WP:Notability (films), the article does not appear to be notable, and it also does not have any references listed. You should read through the AfD process and criteria to determine whether the article would be a good candidate for AfD. If you need any more help or information let me know! — Jonadin(talk) @ 00:44, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Abbythecat (talk) 01:13, 20 February 2012 (UTC)I'm sorry, I didn't know that. I'm too afraid to propose Crackle of Death for deletion again. I'm too afraid to try to contribute anything to Wiki anymore. Think I'll stop trying.Abbythecat (talk) 01:13, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

I have found in my short time here that when editors come across something done by a newer user that they feel is not appropriate (whether by policy or by their normal activity), they sometimes (I'm sure myself included) come across as "rude"... to put it bluntly? Probably every day I find a new policy/regulation that I did not know existed before, and remembering all of them is impossible to do until you have used each of them a certain amount of times. That's no reason to stop trying, though! The worst that could happen from you proposing that article to be deleted would be a select few from the community deciding it is worthy to be kept. There is no penalty for proposing the deletion of an article that is judged by a majority to not require deletion... that's how you learn what should and should not be deleted, right? I myself am hesitant to propose its deletion because I am not sure if it is a clear candidate for AfD.
When I first registered on the site I mainly patrolled recent changes and reverted vandalism that I saw. You can enable Twinkle in your preferences to help a lot with that process. If you think Wikipedia is cool and useful and you would like to help contribute then stick with it! There are tons of different ways to get involved in things. If it causes you too much stress then just don't I guess. Readers are also a very important part of Wikipedia, right? — Jonadin(talk) @ 01:29, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Earthsea

Hi, Thanks for watching. Working on Category: National Book Award for Young People's Literature winning works (still in progress), including The Farthest Shore, I visited the first two books of the trilogy in order to make parallel improvements in their lead sections but (a) I didn't pursue at Earthsea or at articles on later Earthsea books and (b) I may have been hasty, working at Wizard and Tombs by copy/paste/edit.

I hope to remember to revisit the other Earthsea articles —at the very least to add ISFDB references such as

Earthsea Cycle title listing at the Internet Speculative Fiction Database

and to check for mention of the awards that I deleted at Wizard, whose lead was padded with info about the series. I don't mind if you do it OR remind me in a few days.

I know of the 1987 Locus poll from #9 Dragonflight, which includes a better reference (note 2) except that it seems to be a deadlink now. In a very brief "search" I didn't find another copy and relied on the encyclopedic source at The Wizard. --P64 (talk) 21:52, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

By saying your addition was "unsourced", I mean that you did not provide a reliable source in the article. Please read WP:Verifiability for more information about that.

I appreciate the fact that you believe I have helped to squash misconceptions about Wikipedia. However, I only came across your edit by chance as I did a quick scan of Special:RecentChanges after noticing that it was not being heavily monitored (this is sort of an odd hour over here to be checking for vandalism). It very well may be that someone else could have reverted your addition 5 minutes after you added it, or perhaps it could have been 5 hours. Either way, Kristen Wiig has been viewed for an average of over 4,000 times per day the past month and it is possible users could have seen your non-neutral, unsourced addition. (Immediately after placing the notice on your talk page, I decided that I should have labeled that as one of the latter and not "vandalism", but either way I think you agree that it needed to be reverted.)
You do not have to apologize to me, but if that were an article with relatively low-traffic, think about how long that addition could have lasted. Instead you should apologize to the purpose and aspirations of this project, and register an account to help out—since you seem like a sensible person. :] Have a good night/day/etc, cheers! – Jonadin93 (talk) 07:29, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Article for Creation submission from January

Hi there - I just wanted to point out that I disagree with your decision at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/KING (SIR) JOHN IKURU - John Ikuru does not fall under the BLP sourcing requirements (he's been dead since 1947), and WP:SHOUT is a guideline for talk pages, rather than a specific policy.

Huggle 3

Hey Jonadin93! I am Petrb, one of core developers of Huggle, the antivandalism tool, which you are beta testing (according to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members#Beta_testers). I am happy to announce that Huggle 3 is ready for some testing. You can read more about it at WP:Huggle/Huggle3_Beta. Please keep in mind that this is a development version and it is not ready for regular use. That means you must:

  • Watch your contribs - when anything happens you didn't want, fix it and report a bug
  • Frequently checkout source code and build latest version, we change it a lot

If you find any problem with a feature that is supposed to work perfectly, please let us know. Some features are not ready yet, it is listed in known problems on Huggle3 beta page, you don't need to report these - we know it! So, that's it. Have fun testing and please let us know about any problems, either using bugzilla @ http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/ or #huggle connect. Please respond to my talk page, I am not going to watch your talk page. Thank you Petrb (talk) 10:57, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Huggle 3 beta is out - and we need more feedback!

Hey Jonadin93, how are you? I am Petrb, one of huggle developers, and you are currently subscribed as a beta tester of huggle on meta (meta:Huggle/Members. You may not have noticed, but this week I released first beta precompiled installers for ubuntu and microsoft windows! Wikipedia:Huggle/Huggle3_Beta has all the links you need. So if you can, please download it, test it and report all bugs that is really what we need now. Don't forgot that as it's just a beta it's unstable and there are some known issues. Be carefull! Thank you for helping us with huggle Petrb (talk) 16:21, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

We need your help testing latest huggle

Hello,

I am sending you this message because you listed yourself on meta:Huggle/Members as a beta tester. We desperately need attention of testers, because since we resolved all release blockers, we are ready to release first official version of huggle 3! Before that happens, it would be nice if you could test it so that we can make sure there are no issues with it. You can download it packaged for your operating system (see Wikipedia:Huggle/Huggle3_Beta) or you can of course build it yourself, see https://github.com/huggle/huggle3-qt-lx for that. Don't forget to use always latest version, there is no auto-update message for beta versions!

Should you find any issue, please report it to wikimedia bugzilla, that is a central place for huggle bugs, where we look at them. That is i mportant, if you find a bug and won't report it, we can't fix it. Thank you for your work on this, if you have any questions, please send me a message on my talk page, I won't be looking for responses here. Thanks, Petrb (talk) 15:12, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

New huggle 3.1 is going to be released soon

Hi Jonadin93, we are to release a new major version of huggle, but we did receive almost no feedback from our beta testing team, which you are a part of (see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members). It would be of a great help if you could download it (if you have windows, all you need to do is getting http://tools.wmflabs.org/huggle/files/huggle3.1.0beta.exe and putting it to a folder where you have installed huggle) and test it. You can always get a help with making it @ #huggle connect!

Major changes:

  • Multisite support - you can now log in to unlimited number of wikis in 1 huggle session and get a huge queue of all edits made to these wikis. This is good for smaller projects which gets overlooked often.
  • Ranged diffs - you can select multiple revisions and get a huge diff that display all changes done to them.
  • Fixes of most of bug reports we had so far

In case you found a bug, please report it to bugzilla: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?product=Huggle&list_id=147663 thank you! Petrb (talk) 10:10, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Huggle message

Hey Jonadin93! You are receiving this message because you are subscribed at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members#Beta_testers

I have recently launched a new downloads for beta testers that contains nightly builds of huggle, eg. versions that are built every day from our master branch and contains latest huggle. These builds are currently provided only for Windows and Ubuntu. You can find them here: http://huggle.wmflabs.org/builds/

Please keep in mind that these don't have any automatic updates and if you download and start using nightly build, you will need to update it yourself! So don't get yourself to running old version, it's possible to install both stable and nightly huggle, which is what I suggest.

Keep the bug reports coming to phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/create/?projects=Huggle Many thanks! Petrb (talk) 09:58, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Zooxanthellae

I see you are a marine biology student. For years the article Zooxanthellae has redirected to Symbiodinium but I have now created a new article instead, as not all zooxanthellae are in the genus Symbiodinium, and the latter article is very technical. I am not a marine biologist and could do with a specialist to check my new article in case I have got anything wrong. I have been aiming to write it in an accessible style. Could you have a look?
