Paco de Lucía

In this edit you say he was named Gomes and not Gomez, but the source write it with a "z". Christian75 (talk) 23:39, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, Paco and Pepe de Lucía's mother, Lucia Gomes, was Portuguese and her surname was Gomes, not Gómez. Evidently I missed something when I was corrected the surname. Thanks.

WP:Italics/Anne Heche article

Hello, [e-mail]. With regard to the Anne Heche article, I can't yet decipher all of what you changed; I'm sure I'll disagree with your definition of "promotion" in this case once I do decipher all of it (though I likely won't revert/raise the matter as an issue). But, with regard to using italics for the entire quotes, that violates WP:Italics (which has a Quotations subsection in addition to the other subsections it has, such as with regard to what is appropriate emphasis). Flyer22 (talk) 16:24, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if you reply to me about this, I'd prefer that you reply here at your talk page so that the discussion is kept in one place. Flyer22 (talk) 16:25, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

On a side note: Regarding this, be careful with the word claim; I usually remove that word (plural or not), per WP:CLAIM. The only reason that I did not remove it from the gay father bit (which was there before your edits to that section today) is because Heche is making a serious/heavy claim about a person. But for Heche stating that she was "insane for the first 31 years of her life," the word claims absolutely should not be used. Regarding the messages you left on my talk page, blockquotes are not much better because, per WP:Blockquote, quotes should be a certain length (the length WP:Blockquote specifies) before being put into blockquote. And too many blockquotes can give an article a messy look. As for having split this discussion because you were late to getting my second message above, no worries; I will simply post a WP:Permalink (a second if required) of this discussion there, which will show the complete discussion. I was able to deduce, from seeing your talk page, that you split discussions; that is what propelled to me to request that you don't split this one. Flyer22 (talk) 16:48, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Flyer22: Oh, good. I don't know how to do Permalinks and stuff like that. No excuses, just never learned. Too lazy, old dog, new tricks, etc. Although I must point out that I wasn't exactly "late to getting my second message above"; if anything I guess I responded too quickly to your first message! Funny, that!
 ::: Thanks for the advice re WP:CLAIM. Yours, Quis separabit? 16:55, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

L'Wren Scott

Thanks Robert for developing this crucial page that was incredibly visited by 222,000 viewers just yesterday... http://stats.grok.se/en/latest/L%27Wren_Scott It needed a great revamp though and adding of missing pieces, like her previous marriage, circumstances of her suicide and financial status of her businesses which I now have reworked. Plus some more controversial matters like her name. By the way, I never heard of the name of this designer until today, but somehow her life fascinated me as I made further research on her life and career. So sad though about her fate. werldwayd (talk) 22:42, 18 March 2014 (UTC) ‎[reply]

Jack Little (politician)

You claimed that Jack Little was one of two non-Catholics in the ALP (anti-Communist), the original name of the DLP, in the Victorian Parliament, whereas previously it was stated that he was the only one. He was the only non-Catholic. The other non-Catholic parliamentarian was Robert Joshua, the House of Representatives Member for Ballarat, and the leader of the ALP (anti-Communist) in the federal parliament. Joshua was never a member of the Victorian Parliament. The original comment was correct, and should be changed back, or at least qualified with a reference to Joshua's membership of the federal parliament.Noreen45 (talk) 23:00, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Keating

For your information, Charles Keating is a GA article with an active maintainer (me). Please do not remove deadlink sources just because they are no longer immediately accessible. Please see Wikipedia:DEADLINK#Mitigating_a_dead_link: "Do not delete a URL just because it has been tagged with ^[dead link‍] for a long time." Statements like "Keating graduated from St. Xavier in 1941.[4]" should not be replace with "citeneeded" flags just because the URL no longer works. Statements like these are still adequately sourced, it's just harder to get at the source. Thanks. Wasted Time R (talk) 02:08, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand your comment "I was just trimming in light of Keating's recent death". Just because the subject died doesn't mean the article has to be shortened. The diffs of your edits are very difficult to follow (that's the fault of WP software, not you). Can you tell me what you think is wrong with the article in terms of content? I see comments like "POV", "OR", "cruft" - what exactly? Wasted Time R (talk) 02:26, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I just restored the deadlink I removed. As far as POV, I would say terms like "Indeed" (not in quotes), or "well known", rather than just "known", depending on the circumstances. Stuff like that. Why don't you compare the diffs and see if the article doesn't look a tad better. If not tell me where I screwed up. Yours, Quis separabit? 02:32, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need to put "ISBN needed" on all the short form book cites; its in the long form in each book's first cite. (Better would be to move those books into a bibliography section.) You have eliminated what you think are redundant cites but they are actually needed for me to tell what text goes with what cite. You've put all the quotes in italics; what MoS guideline says to do that? You've taken the life out of some of the wording: "In late 1988, Keating began desperate attempts to sell Lincoln" is based on sources and conveys to the reader much better the feeling of what was happening than "In late 1988, Keating began attempts to sell Lincoln". If the source says it was desperate, why can't we say it was desperate? That's not "POV", that's engaging prose, what articles are supposed to aspire to. And most of what you've changed I won't even be able to figure out without doing a side-by-side walkthrough of the formatted articles before and after - parts of that big diff are completely unmanageable. Sigh. You don't know how many hours I spent researching and writing this one. What can I say. Wasted Time R (talk) 02:50, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No I don't want to revert all your edits. I just want a change to the culture here where every article is automatically considered unsatisfactory and unmaintained, in need of cleaning up, rearranging, reformatting, cruft removal, etc, all in sweeping edits with little explanation. And that whenever the subject is in the news it's open season on the article. Some articles are actually pretty good and had people work really hard to make them that way. I've been here a long time and of course I know that in WP you get no credit for work done and no credit for knowing a lot about the subject and no credit for having thought a long time about the article and that everything can be redone by others. But still. Wasted Time R (talk) 03:10, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

ISBNs for DLP article

A heading has been placed above the DLP (historical) article claiming that ISBN numbers should be included for some references. There were no ISBN numbers shown on books before somewhere about 1970. The books shown in the references by Tom Truman and Alan Dalziel I think do not have ISBN numbers shown inside their covers because they were published earlier than 1970. An editor with a keen interest on Hungarian-Australians has inserted reference numbers from the National Library of Australia for some books without ISBN numbers. Perhaps I could do this?

Also two very important references seem to have been removed. These are the book by Paul Reynolds with the title Democratic Labor Party and the book by Robert Murray on The Split. I can restore these later when I'm up to it, as I have been ill lately following surgery. Thank you for your comment on my talk page.

I reviewed the contributions you made to the David L Cook article. Please contact a contributing editor before you simply start hacking at an article. The sources and the whens and whys are described in the sources that were given. If there is not a source in the location you placed, it was down at the end of the paragraph. If you want to make edits or you have questions I would appreciate that in the future you contact a contributing editor before simply taking those kinds of steps. I understand being bold in your edits, but the ones you made were not helping to improve the article. Please contact me if you have any questions or comments on my talk page.

Bernie Wolfe (politician)

Hi, Rms! I see you removed some more from Wolfe's article and asked for clarification on some points. Most of what was added there was by a family member with this edit. As you can see, nothing was sourced. I removed some info before you did, which was also unclear to me. If they clarify, I'm sure it won't be sourced. If Wolfe wasn't so instrumental in developing the cities of Winnipeg and Regina, I would chuck it all and speedy this one. C'est la guerre! — Wyliepedia 05:10, 9 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Salem witch trials

I see that back in June you renamed many of the articles on related people to include the suffix "(Salem witch trials)". This does have the merit of consistency, but it goes against the general principle of not unnecessarily dsambiguating. Another editor has chosen, last month, to give that principle priority by renaming Deliverance Dane (Salem witch trials) to the un-disambiguated form. Was the original change to the longer form a result of a discussion somewhere? Colonies Chris (talk) 09:43, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please make sure sources match the information you are citing them for

That wasn't the case in your edit here:

• This 1997 newspaper article does not contain information about a 2006 event, or support the notion that they "continue[] to dominate" "today".
• [1] does not name any of the guests.
• This newspaper article does not contain the "of the year" quote. (The other ref that you removed from that sentence supported it, in a somewhat different version.)

Shin Dong-hyuk

Sorry, but I cannot follow your reasoning “you may be right (see talkpage discussions), but you can't just delete sourced text with which you disagree)” to delete my latest revision. So you agree that based on the discussion it may be right to remove the two sentences about Abt. But then you say it cannot be deleted just because it is sourced text? Well, if something does not really make sense, I see no reason to keep it, do you? Furthermore I think Abt’s book is not a source for criticism. He doesn’t know Shin and doesn’t know about the human rights situation in North Korea. He just read the story in the newspaper and made a marginal note in his book. This does not really qualify as a source, at least not for this article. Wikipedia Verifiability says “While information must be verifiable in order to be included in an article, this does not mean that all verifiable information must be included in an article. Consensus may determine that certain information does not improve an article, and that it should be omitted or presented instead in a different article. The onus to achieve consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content.” Exactly this applies to the two sentences I removed. I think some time ago this was included, as someone thought that there must be a kind of criticism section. But he did not find any better source than Abt’s book (and this fact should tell us something). Anyway now we have the North Korean government as source for criticism and do not need the other poor source anymore. So I do not see any reason to keep the two sentences. -- Gamnamu (talk) 16:53, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your question

RE: How am I supposed to know what you are going to write about? Quis separabit? 18:33, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing that 179th and 180th New York State Legislature are blue links, there's a good chance that after 180 articles there will be coming more... Besides, the red links of unquestionably notable subjects should not be removed. The "What links here" function shows an editor, at the time of writing an article, where the subject was mentioned already. That helps a lot to dig up facts. Kraxler (talk) 18:44, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

September 1

I have no particular quibble with your recent edits to September 1, etc., but I thought I'd remind you -- assuming you haven't reread the page notice in a while -- that "global notability" is no longer part of the current WP:DOY standard. How exactly you've determined that birth/death days of Japanese actresses aren't notable, Hungarian footballers are, Israeli windsurfers are not, but American comediennes are, quite frankly, mystifies me.

Not being a big believer in astrology, I'd probably be tempted to dump the whole lot, but at the same time there's a column in every major U.S. paper listing major births/deaths "On This Day" so we do have to kind of respect that. It's a good way to get our readers to delve in and learn new things (DOY items are on the main page for just such a reason).

Although I trust your judgement, policy-wise right now discerning birth/death inclusion remains a little up in the air, and I'd be interested to understand your thought process, or to get any feedback on how we could improve the policy as it now stands. -- Kendrick7^talk 04:56, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

William Sly death

I noticed you removed the 16th August link for the death of William Sly, without giving any explanation or reason. The burial date is entirely correct, and is frequently used in place of date-of-death for individuals of that antiquity. Everyone is welcome of course to query dates, but it's churlish and unwarranted to simply remove without any reason given. Please explain, in the meantime the edit is reinstated. Bwcajp (talk) 13:32, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Bwcajp: The 16th August was the date he was buried (what's "interned", btw?); this is not the day he died. Simple as that. And I will remove any other "death" dates which are actually the burial dates. It's not personal. Quis separabit? 18:31, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okey, date of burial (internment includes addition to family vaults so is a more encompassing term) is not the same as date of death, clearly. Provided this rule is consistently implemented with other entries I've no qualms with removal. The problem is however that there are very many other historical entries that use date of internment/burial in lieu of date of death when records for such are lacking. Note especially dates pre-AD1500, where for most people very few dates of death (or birth) can be accurately determined, in England parish registers before 1700 often only record burials, not dates of death.

Deprecation

I'm out of my depth here but your removal of a Template:CongLinks as 'deprecated' I can't find any backing for. Looking here there's no mention of deprecation; nor here, of CongLinks. Can you help? Linda McMahon is the page on which you did the removal that I noticed. Maybe it's one of the sources -- your 'links' -- listed in the CongLinks that's 'deprecated'? Is there a list of deprecated sources? ... From this next discovery -- Wikipedia:Deprecated and orphaned templates -- I see further how little I know of this terrain. Some guidance would be appreciated if you can give it.

But I probed yet further. First I decided to find what CongLinks does/do. And found several useful links under External links that you'd eliminated with your edit; and one dead link, the 2012 campaign website (redirected to an unrelated niacin site). I changed course and reverted your edit, labeling the dead link and promising this discussion here to come. As I previewed my reversion I saw this block of warnings:

• Warning: Page using Template:CongLinks with unknown parameter "ontheissues" (this message is shown only in preview).
• Warning: Page using Template:CongLinks with unknown parameter "imdb" (this message is shown only in preview).
• Warning: Page using Template:CongLinks with unknown parameter "washpo" (this message is shown only in preview).
• Warning: Page using Template:CongLinks with unknown parameter "worldcat" (this message is shown only in preview).
• Warning: Page using Template:CongLinks with unknown parameter "nyt" (this message is shown only in preview).
• Warning: Page using Template:CongLinks with unknown parameter "ballot" (this message is shown only in preview).
• Warning: Page using Template:CongLinks with unknown parameter "c-span" (this message is shown only in preview).

Now I expect they have something to do with your initial reversion; though I will note there's nothing about deprecation there .... So after one false ending to this query, I hope the query's still clear enough and, again, you can guide me. I'm sorry if I was premature in reverting yours but it is a story in the news and I didn't like seeing seemingly good info lost to the article. (One further note: C-Span, somehow, does appear in the for-the-moment restored links on the page, seemingly working fine.) Thanks. Swliv (talk) 14:52, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Swliv -- Now I expect 'they' have something to do with your initial reversion; though I will note there's nothing about deprecation there

As Ed McMahon used to say to Johnny Carson, "You are correct, sir". In the instant case, that of Linda McMahon, she was never elected to office despite her two Senate tries so I see no reason to keep a[n outdated] cocktail of links which are meant only for elected US congresspersons. In general, I observed the same thing you did, i.e. that the template in question ("CongLinks" ...) is chock full of now firecracker red "unknown parameters", which, in my book, means they have been deprecated somehow, either via a discussion consensus or technological updates by this encyclopaedia itself. Quis separabit? 16:54, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Quis separabit? With deference I've worked more on the CongLinks (removing all deprecated-s) and restored the two other actives of them to the section that have real, if overlapping, info in them. Yes, it was ultimately an unsuccessful campaign but I think there was a successful nominating race; and it was perhaps crass but I noted there that an apparent $50M campaign even if unsuccessful is still something even in this day and age. ... Powerful motto. ... I do see now that the template is in fact meant only for members of Congress; but it does seem to work appropriately (and invisibly as to the misuse) here. One person's 'outdated' is another person's 'history' and this encyclopaedia does traffic in the latter also. Probably it should better be integrated into the text as with most External links; or disentangled completely from CongLinks (you'll tell me that by your next action(s)) but I'm hoping for a pass on these small variances here. ... Your tweaking & trimming across the whole article is certainly impressive and beyond me even to review so far but I trust it's not 'excessive'. I was glad to see you (and the IP editor) so far retained both the 'head-hitting with chair' (+/-) text and the restored-by-me perfectly illustrative pic -- which the IP ed. had elided on false ('not directly ... related'), I'd say, pretext); ed. at same IP# also removed another pic on similarly apparently false ('composite'; Harriers do look weird taking off but the pic and its sourcing looked genuine to me) grounds at the same time.

Notability of Hins Cheung

RE: Seeberville Murders

Though I deny claiming ownership over the Seeberville Murders article, I do intend to revert the article as I had put quite a lot of effort into several new sections within said article. If you have any objection to that please let me know as the content that will be reverted consisted of fully-sourced claims backed up by historians, local news sources of the time and other contemporary historical documents. Furthermore, I was unable to attend the initial discussion of the report as I am currently within shelter care and have time restrictions on the internet as a result of my schedule here.

Anna Wintour's citizenship

Per this edit: I would refer you to this discussion on the talk page. While a lot of her activities suggest she's been naturalized, or somehow perhaps inherited her U.S. citizenship from her mother, I've never found a clear source stating that she is a U.S. citizen. So if it isn't explicitly in the article, we shouldn't have it as a category. Daniel Case (talk) 02:44, 20 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Um ... unfortunately, that's a Daily Mail article, and because of that upstanding publication's admitted history of making stuff up sometimes to drive traffic to their website, there is considerable resistance to treating them as a reliable source for anything besides sports.

Unseen character

It is necessary for me to re-add the information to further dispute resolution with the IP. Robert McClenon recommended I request semi-protection (which has been granted) explicitly for that purpose, the IP only engages in discussion when he is reverting someone's change, and his dynamic IP causes problems with engaging with him, which McClenon has acknowledged, so semi-protection will require him to register to be a single, static user name, and to continue discussion instead of reverting. Without the text being restored, he has no incentive to return (indeed, since he is an IP he isn't even watchlisting). Furthermore, a sysop determined the IP's edits to be "disruptive" (his word) when semi-protecting the page. Per edit warring policy, reverting disruptive edits is NOT edit warring. Last, on Vera, multiple sources consider her to be not just an unseen character, but one of the most prominent in US TV history, so she IS significant for inclusion on the Unseen character page, even if this status should be caveated [1] Mmyers1976 (talk) 18:39, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Mmyers1976 @Robert McClenon-- not it isn't -- wait for the dispute to reach some sort of resolution and some support for your position or you are likely to be sanctioned for edit warring. You claimed we reached a compromise, but you are betraying it in re Vera, which is causing me to question your good faith. She was seen and likely heard (although the latter doesn't matter since the category is Unseen Characters not Unheard Characters) which means VERA DOES NOT QUALIFY, an error, which if necessary I will correct and I am not interested in Scott Pierce's misnomer in The Deseret News, which is not a particularly reliable source. Quis separabit? 18:46, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I talked about mentioning Vera's ambiguous status in light of the fact that she is most commonly considered an unseen character, and you did not actually object to the idea, you said to wait a bit - and that was almost a month ago with no intervening discussion from anyone, so I was bold. And to claim that the Deseret News, a Pullitzer-prize-winning newspaper, the oldest daily newspaper in Utah, "not a particularly reliable source" is being ludicrous, and makes me question YOUR good faith. Mmyers1976 (talk) 18:55, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mmyers1976: Vera's status is no longer ambiguous. You are the only editor here insisting she was an unseen character despite the fact that she was seen. I don't care how old The Deseret News is, and I don't mean to insult such a venerable publication, but its columnist (Mr. Pierce) is no more an expert on this issue than anybody else, unless he has a degree in Cheers studies from an accredited university. Quis separabit? 19:00, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, I am not insisting she is unseen, I am insisting she is widely regarded by reliable sources as an unseen character, as one of the most notable unseen characters, which makes her and the discrepancy significant and notable enough for inclusion in the article. No, Scott Pierce does not likely have "a degree in Cheers studies from an accredited university," but he is a reliable secondary source, which neither you nor the IP can claim to be.

Article change

I noticed you changed the nationality of Ms. Dunst on her page to read "American-German" as opposed to the more correct/usual "German-American", I'm assuming since she's primarily considered American due to birth and secondarily German by later citizenship application. She is technically three-quarters German ethnically due to her parents background. Either way I corrected the preceding indefinite article to "an" rather than "a" since your change brings a vowel to the front. 64.134.64.94 (talk) 02:09, 18 August 2016 (UTC)Peter78[reply]

I kept thinking, "If this guy doesn't stop thanking me for pending changes stuff on days of the year articles, eventually I'm going to start asking him stuff." And guess what?

I'm second-guessing myself with this revert because I genuinely have no idea if the event in question, The Great Slave Auction, qualifies as "notable in that society and for some reasonable amount of time". My gut tells me it does, and on second thought, my explanation, that the auction took place over two days, reads as really weak. To be clear: is an event automatically disqualified from listing at articles like March 3 if it started on March 2? Is there a bright-line policy/guideline/suggestion that establishes that YES, this gets listed and NO, this doesn't meet the standard? Thanks, RunnyAmiga (talk) 02:14, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Page Edit

Dear Quis separabit? / [e-mail],

I wrote you a response under my talk page but I am not sure whether the system will alter you to this. As you warmly noted, I am relatively new as an editorial user (though I am no beginner as a frequent reader!). So just in case, I am responding here as well.

I noted three reasons to undo the long quotation edits on the page for Wendy Brown. The quote was moved from a footnote into the main body of the article. Here are a number of reasons why the quote does not belong there in the body:

1 The quote is from the magazine "The Nation" and was written as a kind of polemic for this (public and political) readership. It therefore does not have the same kind of status as Brown's numerous publications (in books and articles) that intervene into important debates in feminist theory. (This is, after all, an article on a political philosopher and section entitled "Thought and Overview of Work.")

If this is not convincing, I hope some of the following points might be, for they seem to be even more important considerations to me:

2 The quote is from 1990, five years before the book States of Injury (1995) was even published. It therefore should not be tacked on to the end of a section that is dedicated to Brown's 1995 book. This neither makes sense as a way of organizing the information in an academic article, nor does it make sense in an encyclopedic entry. Moreover, the citation and reference for this quotation does not have a link to the original magazine article, which means that it is impossible for someone to click on and read the piece to understand its context -- and most importantly, the ways that it does or does not correspond to the more developed positions articulated in States of Injury (1995).

3 The quote is best characterized less as an argument of her own than as an ad hominem and polemical attack on MacKinnon. This does not disqualify it as a possible Wikipedia entry, of course. But it would be better placed under a section on Debates or Interlocutors or something of the like. Now that I think about it, the quote would best fit under a "Criticism" section on MacKinnon's page. (I could place the quote there, where it would seem more fitting.

Thank you, Quis separabit?, for the welcome, the suggestions, and for your edits. I hope that these are convincing reasons to either keep the quote in a footnote or, if it seems better, to delete it from the page and place it elsewhere -- under debates in feminism or under the MacKinnon page.

Best, Politikundtheorie (talk) 11:49, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Politikundtheorie: "The quote is best characterized less as an argument of her own than as an ad hominem and polemical attack on MacKinnon.

Now that I think about it, the quote would best fit under a 'Criticism' section on MacKinnon's page. (I could place the quote there, where it would seem more fitting."

Thank you for your very kind words. I think your suggestion (above) is quite a good idea. I will leave it in your capable hands unless you want me to do it. Apologies for any inference that you are/were a beginner editor. The only way to know how long any editor has been editing is by looking at his or her contribution history, which I don't recall doing, so that was not my intent. But I have learned over the last dozen years or so that sometimes when posting messages on Wikipedia I need to adjust my Freudian slip (LOL). Thanks again for your kind words. Yours, Quis separabit? 13:20, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Gerry McKenna

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Gerry McKenna requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.gerrymckenna.co.uk/index.php. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

It is certainly not standard to include the maiden name in the lead of an article about a woman - I just checked several and one of them had her "birth name" because it was much different than the name by which she was known, but none had "nee" - so I'm going to re-revert it.

It was a news report in error, confusing another inmate with the same name, as being the one from the 1971 escape, and it may not have been corrected everywhere.

February 9

You reverted my entry of Kevin Warwick on the basis that it is an "insufficiently globally notable entry". Is there an official list or is it just your opinion? I checked and the Kevin Warwick page receives daily viewing figures of say 300 to 500. Meanwhile a cursory glance shows that Jo Duffy, also 1954, tops out at 16 per day and Jerry Beck, 1955, tops out at 34. In terms of views therefore your modification would appear inappropriate. Look forward to your response. TexTucker (talk) 09:28, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I did a further bit of homework! For that date there are presently 16 entries (not including Warwick) in the 1950's. So I compared views etc. Warwick's average daily views are 328. Of the 16 others, 5 have average figures higher than this and 11 have lower figures. In fact 4 have single figure averages. 10 of the 16 are Americans, which probably supports the Callahan & Herring argument. Unfortunately none of the 16 are scientists (as is Warwick), several are actors and/or sports people. Of course this is by no means conclusive, but ...

Idea regarding identification of insufficiently notable entries in DOY-pages

Hi Robert,
For some time now I've concerned myself trying to lift the quality of the DOY- and Year-pages to a higher level, focussing on the pre-1700's. Because of that I now have a pretty good understanding what is notable or not.
You may know that I created an application to identify biographies that were missing from the DOY-pages. From 1600 onwards I noticed that most notable persons are already present in the DOY-pages. I also noticed that a lot of not so notable persons are stated; many articles are stubs or have very little content.
For fun I generated a few tables stating per date a corresponding bio in that century. Examples:
Births per date, period 1600 – 1799
Deaths per date, period 1600 – 1799
As you can see the size of the article (in number of characters) is also stated. Although I realize that character count is in no way a criterium for notability, it can be used to identify bio's that have no place in the DOY pages.
For instance in the 1st table have a look at Bastiaan Govertsz van der Leeuw (DoB 11 January). The limited bio size (1496 letters only) seems to suggest that he should not be stated in January 11#Births. I have many other examples.
I could add code to my application in order to generate a table that would list persons that very probably have no place in a DOY-page.
Criteria:

1. Article is a stub OR
2. YoB/YoD > 1500 AND Number of characters < 2000

Before I devote some time to it I would like your thoughts on this. Would you be willing to use the proposed table as a tool to delete existing entries from the DOY-pages?

Good ideas, @Mill_1 -- take 'em to @Deb as I am not going to be dealing with DOY-trimming and review. I deleted all the DOY pages from my watchlist which was close to 4000. Too many watchlist articles made me miss updates I should have caught. Also, DOY trimming can be stressful. I intend to concentrate on other things, at least for now, but please keep doing your best. Thanks. Yours, Quis separabit? 22:27, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Unite the Right rally

Hello,

The personal discussion between you and User:Muboshgu at Talk:Unite_the_Right_rally#Manufacturing_council has gone on long enough. The thread was closed because it is no longer focused on improving the article, and there is no need for either of you to continue to respond to each other's perceived personal attacks. Wikipedia:No personal attacks sums it up pretty well: "Comment on content, not on the contributor."

Thanks, Dlthewave (talk) 16:53, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Dlthewave: I appreciate that. As I said, I have never edited a closed thread in all the years I have been editing. In this case, the other editor asked me a direct question on a topic that is obviously of paramount importance to many if not most Americans, and which I felt needed to be answered. They must have replied while I was off-wiki (NYC=EST). I am sure such a scenario will not recur. Yours, Quis separabit? 17:18, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

County Derry

(referencing an edit that you performed while as an IP) Please refrain from altering references to County Londonderry to read County Derry, and also do not put inaccurate statements in article that County Londonderry did not exist at that time as you did on Henry Conwell. There has never been a county offically called County Derry in the history of Ireland. County Londonderry was created in 1613 from County Coleraine. There has never been a County Derry and that is a purely colloquial term for County Londonderry. Thank you. Canterbury Tail talk 22:04, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hal LeSueur birthdate

Hello,

I saw you're not sure about the day of birth of Joan Crawford and his brother Hal LeSueur. I'm on Ancestry.ca and I didn't find the birth certificate for Joan Crawford, but I found the birth certificate for his brother. He was born on 326 Rivas Street in San Antonio, Texas on September 3, 1903 but on his birth certificate he has not yet a given name. His parents are Tom and Anna LeSueur. If it's your address e-mail and if you want I can send you a screen capture of his birth certificate. And it is on FamilySearch but you can only see the names and it is misspelled. It is written Lisneur instead of Lesueur because on the act the e seems an i and the u looks like an n. Here is the link on FamilySearch -> [5]. Sincerely. --Danielvis08 (talk) 09:58, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Re-hello

In fact on the web you can see it on this link [6]. --Danielvis08 (talk) 10:20, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Danielvis08 -- Yes, I have seen a copy of the same 1903 birth certificate to which you refer, on Ancestry.com. But Hal LeSueur's year of birth is still a puzzler as the 1910 census which gives his age as 8 in April 1910, and the age on his marriage registration (to Kasha Haroldi), dated September 6, 1931, which gives his age as 30 years old -- both the census and the marriage document are also available at ancestry.com -- both clearly indicate 1901. I don't know the reason for the discrepancy but for now let's leave both years. Yours, Quis separabit? 16:15, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Carl Sargeant: Cause of death (suicide) should NOT be written as if it had already been established (contempt of court)

In England and Wales, whether a person has died (in a suspicious, unnatural or unexplained death) from suicide or not, is usually only formally and properly established, concluded or determined by someone called a coroner, in something called a Coroner's Inquest ... until the Inquest on the matter of the death of the late Carl Sargeant AM has been concluded, I would suggest that reports of suicide from even from such eminent and respectable journals as the Mirror, the Guardian, the Socialist Worker and the Morning Star should not be misused here in order to "jump the gun" before the coroner (and his jury, if there is to be one) has actually have the chance of finishing doing his (or their) job under the Coroners Act 1988 (1998 c. 13) [7] and the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 (2009 c. 25) [8]. "From an unconfirmed suspected suicide", not "from suicide". (Under the Contempt of Court Act 1981 (1981 c. 49) [9], which also covers the work of coroners and Coroners' Courts, the maximum penalty according to Section 14(1)(2) [10] is a fine not exceeding £2,500 or 2 years' imprisonment, or both. [11][12][13]: "Commenting on the results of an inquest could prevent a future criminal trial as the defendant may not be able to get a fair trial.") --- 87.102.116.36 (talk) 07:18, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@87.102.116.36 Fine, but why are you contacting me? I reviewed my edits (see here) and I didn't make any changes re nature/circumstances of death. Unless you are referring to the following text::::<blockquote>''"Later that day it was announced that Sargeant had taken his own life.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-41904161|title=Sacked Labour minister dies|date=7 November 2017|publisher=|via=www.bbc.co.uk}}"''</ref></blockquote>

But I never added the text in question ("which does not use the word "suicide", in any event) and saw no reason to remove it as it factually reports the nature of the announcement and is reliably sourced. I did remove other text which was unsourced. Anyway, I doubt coroners' inquests are going to be influenced by Wikipedia, anyway. If you want to remove the offending text, go ahead ... I won't make a fuss. Yours, Quis separabit? 16:31, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edit on Chester Catholic High School Page

Hi,

I noticed that as part of an edit on the page of the above mentioned school, you removed a reference to Mick McManus. I was wondering if you were a former pupil of the school (as I am) as he still teaches at the school, albeit in a much more specialised role.

Sorry for bothering you by the way, Dialectical Drivers (talk) 22:58, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Dialectical Drivers -- it's fine. You are not bothering me and editors have the right to question other editors (maintaining civility, of course) regarding their edits.

With this edit in the article Nonie Lynch you were implying that the first year that the The Clare Festival of Traditional Singing was held, was in 2003 instead of in 1990.

Thank you for your work. I have to leave a notice to you.

On the other hand, we MUST use such term when: "This term is used in the media to avoid litigation when the facts are not 100% certain, or when referring to evidence in an ongoing trial." [15] - as it is the case here.--AirWolf ^talk 21:29, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ada Safari

Ada Ciganlija#Ada Safari - "Fish are mostly released back into the lake. ^[why?]" The facility is privately owned. I've read 5-6 articles on the lake, which included interviews with the owner and he never named a clear reason for returning the fish into the lake. But, given the rules by which the fishermen can keep the fish and owner's pointing to how large his fish are in the interviews, conclusion is that he wishes to spawn bigger and bigger specimen. Additionally, on the large lake, operated by the city, the recreational fishing is also allowed but: with special permits, outside of the tourist season, and "all" fish have to be returned into the lake.

Thomas Patrick Murray

Hi [e-mail]. I've been watching you take a lot of articles and split them up into single-sentence paragraphs, which disrupts the narrative flow and, more importantly, is a violation of WP:PARAGRAPHS, which states that "One-sentence paragraphs are unusually emphatic, and should be used sparingly. Articles should rarely, if ever, consist solely of such paragraphs." Please also take a look at Wikipedia:Narrative flow, and note that MOS:BODY includes the idea that "Very short or very long sections and subsections in an article look cluttered and inhibit the flow of the prose".

More importantly, however, in the case of Thomas Patrick Murray, in the course of splitting up the paragraphs, you also tagged the new sentences with "citation needed" tags, which I found to be disingenuous, as that information was clearly cited before the paragraphs were split up. As for the tag in the lead, WP:LEAD does not require citations in the lead if the material is broad and is already be cited in the body of the article, as was the case here. Please do not do that again, as such editing could be construed as disruptive. Canadian Paul 15:16, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging

G'day Rms, I have seen that you have placed a number of {{cn}} tags on World War II in Yugoslavia and others. The former article already has a {{refimprove}} tag at the top. In case you didn't know, it is completely unnecessary to tag every uncited paragraph with a {{cn}} when the whole article has been tagged for reference improvement. We all know it needs some work. Thanks, Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 23:27, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded. I didn't feel the need to add a ref to every single sentence in the Magazine Fort article. I expected >20 inline references to be appropriate for the length of the article. Normally it is OK for a sentence or fragment to be covered by a cite at the end of the paragraph (or slightly before or afterwards if it is clear how it is covered). This is in line with WP:CITEFOOT guidelines. In general as well, perhaps we might avoid placing too many tags on an article. I might in fact consolidate some of the 12 clean-up tags that are now for example on the Fianna Éireann article. Certainly the article has some issues, but large clean-up tags every few lines do not in themselves correct those issues or necessarily improve the article.

Unusual IP user talk deletions...what should I do about it?

Hi! On a lark I decided to look at the "Recent changes" list, and I noticed at least two curious reductions on the same IP talk page, each tagged with "cleaning up ...". The user page I'm talking about is User talk:71.202.1.48. Sensing something unusual, I decided to look at its history. Sure enough, there were many "cleaning up". I did observe something similar once in the past, I looked at the last *addition* edit, which turned out to be made by you, and it was a second warning. It is all too reminiscent of a certain user talk page I mentioned where he/she "hid" the warnings by "deleting" the text, and after I reported it, it soon resulted in him/her account being blocked indefinitely. I will let you make the call on that IP user though. Thanks! --TheBlueWizard (talk) 03:44, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @TheBlueWizard -- thanks for the kind words. I checked the IP 71.202.1.48 and there is no current block, much less indefinite. Also, I am not clear what you mean by "I will let you make the call on that IP user though." Thanks, Quis separabit? 03:48, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, since you apparently know the editing history of User:71.202.1.48 ("second warning" stuff), I thought you would make a better judgment call...like reporting, or just wait until he/she makes a third no-no. I was saying this because in my investigation on another user, I noticed in the history there were repeated "final warnings" which the user conveniently "deleted". You can see this in the history info on User talk:Yo8088. I simply don't have a lot of experience with deciding whether this or that warrants further actions. Hope this helps. --TheBlueWizard (talk) 04:07, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@TheBlueWizard -- Ah, I see. Well the last substantive vandalism edit he made was when I warned him.

I just realized I should have mentioned that User:Yo8088 continued to vandalize Wikipedia pages even after he was given "final warning", at least twice! Upon cursory viewing of that user talk page, I wouldn't see that warning at all...but I did notice how he/she said the message will be deleted after read, which raised my internal something-is-fishy alarms. So I dug into that history, plus contributions...and you can see how that user got blocked indefinitely. So, my point was to direct the attention to unusual deletions...is he/she "hiding" the warnings? Oh well...anyway, happy editing! --TheBlueWizard (talk) 04:27, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@TheBlueWizard: I get it. But it is fairly established, as far as I know, that editors can blank or delete anything from their talk page(s). That alone won't cut it at WP:ANI to seek a block against the individual. Unfortunately, we have to do it the hard way, monitoring and warning. Those who continue to commit vandalism after being properly warned then should and usually will be blocked, for varying degrees of time depending on the degree and nature of the infraction(s). Yours.

Tudjman

Dear RMS, It is not clear to me why a comment by an modest German parlementarian, mentioning dead popes, is so particularly important. Many people no doubt commented on Tudjman, viewing him as a hero, a criminal, or something in between. Do we quote them all? I can see that a quote by Kissinger is important, but not some German parlementarian. Anyhow, the section is about the deaolings with the international court, and it really does not contribute that. I move to remove the IMHO ridiculous comment.Ludwig Boltzmann (talk) 09:49, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ludwig Boltzmann -- you may be right. Why not seek consensus on the article talk page? My talk page is not the site to open or extend the discussion. Yours, Quis separabit? 20:33, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This makes sense. I will do this. Ludwig Boltzmann (talk) 13:01, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Frances Cress Welsing

Hi - besides the fact that you responded to a year old comment which shouldn't have been made, you should know talk pages aren't forums. And they especially should not be used to discuss BLPs of people not connected to the article. I've redacted that. Please don't replace it. If you want to delete the whole section, feel free. Doug Weller talk 09:03, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

IBDB

Hi. I see that you are not familiar with IBDB (a Broadway database). It is totally different from IMDB (a user-created Movie site). IBDb is a WP:reliable source with an editorial board that compiles the information using high-quality sources, such as Playbill programs. See http://www.ibdb.com/About. It is cited in more than 6,000 Wikipedia articles. -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:02, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pip and Will Glendinning

Don't really understand this edit. There's no vandalism and the person elected was not Will Glendinning, but his wife, Pip. Will was elected for Lower Falls and Pip for Upper Falls. Valenciano (talk) 15:23, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Valenciano: who said anything about vandalism but it was Pip Glendinning, not her husband Will, who defeated Máirtín Ó Muilleoir but gave up her seat when her baby was born. Quis separabit? 21:05, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cesar Romero

The speculation of experts as expressed in reliable sources has always been allowed, as long as it's clearly labelled as speculation and not fact. That's why you were wrong to remove the speculation (assuming the book it came from is an RS), but right to remove the category, because it's based not on facts but on speculation.

Zerjavic

I don't understand why you are tagging the description "Collaborators and quislings" used by Zerjavic. The source is on line [16] . Please verify.--Woogie10w (talk) 01:42, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Zerjavic did not elaborate on the the description "Collaborators and quislings". On Wikipedia we must post what our sources are saying. Our opinions do not belong here.--Woogie10w (talk) 02:00, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Woogie10w: Therefore and thus, {{Clarify}} is, in fact, appropriate. Quis separabit? 02:10, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I need to review the calculations of Zerjavic and his critics. Your tag has prompted me to research this topic. We need to present the varios sources from a NPOV. --Woogie10w (talk) 00:40, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tom Cassell

Hi. I removed the tags you put on this article as neither seemed valid... This article was pretty spammy a while back but I cut it down pretty significantly. As it stands now, almost every line is sourced - a couple of which are articles specifically about him in valid publications ([17], [18], [19]). Basically, I'm wondering what made you think COI, given I'm one of the primary contributors to this at this point, and personally I think he's reprehensible.
