I've kept a few old talk page comments like DYK notices out of vanity. (EDIT: Well not on this version, see the other archives for them actually.) DYK for Amelia Earhart: The Lost Evidence On 22 September 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Amelia Earhart: The Lost Evidence, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that television showings and online streaming of the documentary Amelia Earhart: The Lost Evidence were stopped after a blogger discredited its key photograph ? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Amelia Earhart: The Lost Evidence. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Amelia Earhart: The Lost Evidence), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Disambiguation page styleHi, Per MOS:DABENTRY:
Brevity is considered a key virtue of dab pages. The typical reader isn't there to learn about all the Doug Joneses; they're there to find the page for a specific Doug Jones. Saying "Doug Jones the boxer is an American boxer" does not help the reader; it slows them down—especially the ones who are not looking for any boxer at all. Hope this helps -- NapoliRoma (talk) 03:24, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Any advice?Hi SnowFire, I did not appreciate the tone and implication of your comment at 1947-49 Palestine war, but take it in good faith nonetheless. As I have written elsewhere, the current situation is akin to having an article called the Great War, covering the period 1914-18, and then a sub article called World War I covering the period 1917-18 (post the entry of the United States). The two names “1948 Palestine war” and “1948 Arab-Israeli war” are synonyms in common speech, so our unique way of treating it causes confusion to readers, as evidenced by the pageview stats. Frankly it’s an embarrassment to Wikipedia’s coverage of the Middle East conflict, and we have been unable to fix it. As an experienced editor, could you provide any advice on the best way to make progress here? I am trying hard to make this encyclopaedia a place that readers can trust, and find attacks like your own to be disheartening. Onceinawhile (talk) 14:52, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

"Indigenous people speak an overwhelming majority of the world’s estimated 7,000 languages and represent 5,000 different cultures." You mentioned it as impossible but let me tell you it's not impossible, it's a fact. https://www.un.org/en/events/indigenousday/ please go through this link and read about this. Also if you ask UNESCO and the host of International year of indigenous languages (iyil2019) they will tell you the same thing. I hope you will go through the mentioned links and get some insights to clear your doubts. Abhi179 (talk) 08:59, 16 August 2019 (UTC) @Abhi179: Hi, thanks for your message! I recognize you were just mimicing the source, but I think the source was somewhat inartfully phrased as well. To me, it sounds like a claim that indigenous people (all of them) can speak all of 4,000+ languages - an obviously ludicrous and insane claim. Yes, yes, it's clear on re-read what it "really" means, that of the world's estimated 7,000 languages, indigenous people are the speakers of most of the lesser spoken languages . but it should be rephrased to not require that mental juggling, IMO. It's also not clear if this is really "lede" material. For the second part, I again recognize it's in the source, but it's still a problematic statement. "Cultures" isn't something easily countable. The world's cultures are important, but it's a category error to make it a math equation. The rights of indigenous people of just one culture are still important, and indigenous people's interests wouldn't somehow be more important if we used a scheme that said it was 50,000 different cultures rather than 5,000. So I don't really see the benefit of including this factoid, even if it was qualified by how exactly these cultures were being "counted".

I edited it to address the majority of the points you raised, especially the broadcast history section (which I hadn't noticed was such a dumpster fire). The only thing I left unchanged was the 'intellectual' adjective for the Minbari, which I think is fair. I don't think describing them as 'religious' would be accurate as it's only one caste of their society. Perhaps the adjective could go altogether, but in any case I think the weight of points you raised are now resolved.ElectricalTill (talk) 08:30, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
fort pillowI have gone over this incident in detail including reading primary sources. I did a lot on the article on it. There is no evidence that Forrest specifically ordered the Fort Pillow massacre. Knew about it and didn't stop it, perhaps, but that troops were following his orders in the massacre is just plain wrong, so far as known evidence goes. If you have evidence to the contrary I'd like to hear it. deisenbe (talk) 08:59, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for recently (on 29 April) giving attention to the article Callaghan MacCarty, 3rd Earl of Clancarty, probably in the context of its run-up for a DYK nomination. Among others, you added a {{clear}} before the family tree, which, you say, goes left of the infobox (I understand what you talk about). I have added family trees to many biographies (almost 100) and usually in the same place as in the mentioned article. I wondered whether I should always insert {{clear}} in front of the family tree. However, in the mentioned article, the infobox does not go left of the family tree on my screen (a laptop) and the {{clear}} makes no difference. I do not have access to a bigger screen. I guess you used a much bigger screen. When is a {{clear}} be needed? Possibly between any two images or graphics aligned on the same side? - Another of your edits is that you removed the bolding of the name "Callaghan" in the list of siblings. You are right in terms of MOS:BOLD. The bolding served to make "Callaghan" stand out in that list. Until recently I added the ugly mention "the subject of this article" after the name of the subject in such lists. User JHunterJ chucked that out, but he left the bolding, so it was probably not needed under these conditions. Now that the bolding is gone ... what should I do? - With many thanks.

ZXCVBNM (TALK) 19:26, 2 May 2020 (UTC) South Texas Law Review, et al.I noticed that you mentioned in an edit summary that South Texas Law Review is "student-edited". Actually, all law reviews, from the Harvard Law Review on down, are student-edited; that is the nature of a law review. However, the students doing the editing are the top tier of law students, working under the supervision of law faculty. Nevertheless, the vast majority of legal academic publishing appears in law reviews, and the articles are typically written by leading professors, judges, and longstanding experts in the field.

Kevin DeutschHi, SnowFire. I saw your note at Talk:Kevin Deutsch and thought I should respond here. You seem to be making two allegations. First, you believe there is sockpuppetry going on, including some previously blocked editors. In that case you should file a report at WP:SPI. Figure out which is the oldest of the accounts you believe to be sockpuppets, and file a report under that name. List as possible socks the other users you suspect, along with evidence, i.e., diffs showing them making the same or similar edits. That is the appropriate way to deal with suspected socks. Second and more worrisome, you talk as if you believe that one or more of the editors are Deutsch himself. That is not a good approach for you to take, and unless they have self-disclosed their identity you should drop that kind of talk. If you were to seriously pursue that angle, to try to PROVE that one or more of these editors is Deutsch, you could be get blocked for WP:OUTING. You should not even keep casually saying it - unless one of them has self-disclosed their identity as Deutsch. Finally, use the talk page for discussing the article content, not for talking about other editors. Maybe start a new discussion about a point of contention, saying what you believe should be in the article or what should not be in the article, and why. Ping the others to come and respond. Be the good guy, the person who is acting according to Wikipedia policy, and use the talk page in an honest attempt to discuss. -- MelanieN (talk) 04:34, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

There was a similar discussion at Talk:Harris, Outer Hebrides#Requested move 17 March 2019 where I argued the title of the previous RM consensus should stand if it was closed as "no consensus" so not to reward the undiscussed move, there is also discussion on this at Wikipedia talk:Requested moves/Archive 31#When tech requests are challenged.

Paragon Deku (talk) 00:31, 14 July 2021 (UTC) Talk:Domestic violence in the United KingdomHi, I noticed you recently edited Talk:Domestic violence in the United Kingdom to add a new section for "Article of potential interest" but at the same time appear to have inadvertently removed the WikiProject Crime banner without an explanation in the edit summary. In the future, I would suggest using the "new section" tab to add a new section, rather than also deleting talk page banners within the same edit but not mentioning this in the edit summary. Please also be aware that British crime-related articles are also of interest to Crime WikiProject and that article membership of the WikiProject British crime does not confer membership to the overarching Crime WikiProject as the two projects are entirely independent. I have undone this portion of you edit, but if you feel I have made a mistake, please feel free to explain your edit and why you feel it necessary to remove the WikiProject Crime banner on the article talk page. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 12:07, 12 August 2021 (UTC) DisambiguationI noticed your recent addition to pseudepigrapha.

Ozdarka (talk) 09:50, 13 September 2021 (UTC) George PellHi SnowFire. On 6 October you amended one of the paragraphs in the lead of George Pell. See your diff. At the beginning of this paragraph, in hidden text visible in edit mode, is text saying “This paragraph has proved to be controversial. It is the subject of discussion on the Talk page. Please do not amend this paragraph without first joining the discussion on the Talk page.” The discussion on the Talk page is at Talk:George Pell#Lede section phrasing started by you on 15 July 2021. This discussion provides every User with an ideal opportunity to present ideas and suggestions to other interested Users. Before making your most recent change you chose not to use this discussion thread to fully explain your view or quote from the referenced sources. That is a pity, especially when considering the request “Please do not amend this paragraph without first joining the discussion on the Talk page.” This request is intended to apply to all Users considering amending this paragraph. It is the Wikipedia way of avoiding edit warring and tendentious editing, both of which has occurred with the Pell article. I encourage you to return to the Talk page and provide other interested Users with the benefit of your insight on this matter, rather than simply making the edit. Thanks.

Revert on Motte and Bailey FallacyCommenting on your revert of the image on the Motte and Bailey Fallacy, specifically of the addition of https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Motte-and-bailey_fallacy&diff=1056134070&oldid=1044775138#/media/File:Motte_and_Bailey_Fallacy.jpg Although it is not an artistic work, I disagree that it looks nothing like a Motte and Bailey castle. Seen here, https://www.dkfindout.com/us/history/castles/early-castles/ there is a fairly clear similarity between my work and the castle. Moreover, it is not the intention to accurately depict a Motte and Bailey Castle, nor is such depiction necessary in conveying the intended meaning of an easy to defend argument and a weaker and harder to defend argument.

Epistle of JudeHi, re your recent edit to the Epistle of Jude article says "it is assumed to be a work of the early second century" then goes on to say, "Bart Ehrman suggests an even later date, in the second half of the first century, due to certain passages that suggest the apostles lived in the past and use of certain terminology in ways similar to the pastoral epistles that was uncommon in the first century."

A lot of new info. KatDales (talk) 13:37, 15 August 2022 (UTC) FYIWikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)#Mass spamming of Cleanup bare URLs template Moxy- Cooper's Dummy ChuteI appreciate your efforts at fact checking the DB Cooper page, although I'll admit to being a bit flustered at some of your changes (the Heisson store break in was a HUGE revelation when that was released to the public). Let me try and explain to you the issue with the parachute in more detail so maybe you'll understand it better because it can be somewhat confusing. This whole "lack of D-rings" thing was news to everyone who follows the D.B. Cooper case once we started to receive the FBI files (we get about 500 documents a month from the FBI). In those days reserve chutes hooked to your main harness (your back chute harness) using D-ring metal hooks. In all of the subsequent debriefing interviews with the FBI that we now have access to, Earl Cossey, tells the FBI about the parachutes that he supplied. He talks about how one of the reserves was a dummy chute used for training purposes. But then he goes on to state that the harnesses he supplied weren't D-ring applicable (emergency parachutes don't ever have reserves attached to them), so he speculates that Cooper must have used the dummy chute bag as a money bag or something and tied it to himself. The way we know that one of the reserves was a Dummy Chute is solely through Earl Cossey's testimony. This is the exact same testimony that states, in literally the next sentence, that the harnesses lacked D-rings. Again, this isn't exactly controversial. Cooper jumped with NB-8 parachute. These were military parachutes used for bailing out of aircraft. These parachutes aren't equipped for reserve parachutes to be hooked up to them. So for Cooper to be portrayed as an idiot for jumping without an operable reserve parachute for all these years is a myth that needs to be busted. He may very well have been an idiot who didn't know what the heck he was doing, but he didn't "jump" with a dummy chute because he literally couldn't have. You state that this needs a better source, so I guess I'll add an article from 1976 where Himmelsbach states: "If it had been usable he could not have attached it to his parachute harness, which had no D rings for use with a chest pack." Of course Ralph is just quoting the Cossey interview which is what I cited. SillyRyno (talk) 14:19, 16 August 2022 (UTC) D.B. Cooper weatherSnow, I uploaded a copy of the National Weather Service's report supplied to the FBI for the hours of the Cooper hijacking just so you can see that I'm not some madman with an agenda. I'm just coming across this stuff and going "huh, I'll be danged....I thought it was a storm that night...but it wasn't." This is why it was added by me to the D.B. Cooper page. The weather conditions that night were very clearly exaggerated in the years following the hijacking. I think it's pretty important that this is pointed out. It makes a much sexier story if the dude jumped out in a raging thunderstorm as opposed to a typical Seattle drizzle. It also makes it sound sexier to say he jumped into a wilderness instead of pointing out the drop zone straddled two counties with a 1970 census population of 200,000 people! You should Google Earth the Drop Zone. It's a bit eye opening. Not at all what you expect. The farthest away he ever could have jumped from an interstate was less than 10 miles. Everywhere in the DZ was within 30 miles of Portland. He was as likely to land in a field or someone's back yard as he was in a tree. Because it was an active investigation for 45 years, the only information we ever received was from FBI agents and what they would occasionally leak to writers (like Geoffrey Gray). But now that we are able to look at their work product it's a bit....well....awkward. How could Himmelsbach go on TV programs that we all watched growing up and tell us that Cooper probably froze to death (and I believed him!) but then I look and see that the weather never even dropped below 40 degrees that night! Another thing I realized that Himmelsbach was doing that bugged me. I've seen him in numerous articles and TV shows talk about how it was -7 degrees at the altitude that Cooper jumped (10,000 feet). He always mentioned that. Of course you hear that and you go OMG! But what he failed to mention is that it was -7 CELSIUS, which is 20 Fahrenheit. That's a pretty deliberate attempt at presenting something inaccurately for effect isn't it? As I've said, I'm a former Federal prosecutor and state prosecutor and current defense attorney. I'm not some crazy loon. It's been quite eye opening reading through this documents and I can tell you have an interest in Cooper otherwise you wouldn't be an admin on the page. So I hope you can see my motives are pure and I hope you can join me in understanding what I'm trying to accomplish on that page. People have a mental image about the D.B. Cooper case in many ways that is totally flawed and it is a mental image that I had for many years. However, a National Weather Service document from November 24th, 1971 has no agenda...wouldn't you agree? Please help me out in my efforts. D.B. Cooper is too interesting of a story to let mythology and exaggerations prevail. Oh, here's that image of the weather. Wind never goes above 10 knots and the rain is never listed as anything more than "light rain". https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CooperHijackingWeather.png SillyRyno (talk) 17:54, 16 August 2022 (UTC) A barnstar for your efforts

CfdThere's another 'faculty' discussion at 2023 March 5#Academic staff in Canada, Central America and the Caribbean, Oceania and South America. — Oculi (talk) 00:23, 8 March 2023 (UTC) Reversion of edit on Correspondence of Paul and SenecaRemoval of "perhaps" wouldn't change the meaning of the sentence, from how I understood it to be written: "arguing that perhaps Paul's side of the correspondence might possibly be legitimate" was problematic (though perhaps "grammar" isn't the correct term; it was simply an easy button on the app and seemed grammatical) because using both "perhaps" and "might possibly" was tautological and therefore unnecessary. Only one of those would suffice to communicate that Ramelli wasn't sure, and I chose to remove "perhaps" because it was easier to do that than rewrite the sentence, which taking out "might possibly" would've required. I don't have a problem with the speculation, since the citation comes from a scholar and is not original research. But I don't agree that my edit changed the meaning of the entire sentence. I've re-read it several times and don't see how removing "perhaps" would change the meaning, as you suggested. However, if you think my reasoning is inadequate and/or the "perhaps" is necessary alongside "might possibly", then that's sufficient for me. Wanted to explain why I made the editorial decision that I made. Best,

Etymological fallacy articleHi Snowfire, If you're going to propagate racial classification, please do so elsewhere. The world has enough problems without people validating false constructs. The fact that you went for DARVO tactics the moment someone refused to validate an identity built around race is telling. Immediate bad faith tactics. There's a reason why the scientific community doesn't use the term semite anymore, except for classifying language - it's because those classifications have no basis. They're taxonomic categories below subspecies. The problem is that the moment we validate someone's racial identity is the moment we link a real world referent to a taxonomic category whose existence we've just negated. Since we were talking about the concept of etymology, which, of course, is the catalogue of a word's meaning across time, we can very clearly see that the coinage of the term goes back to Gottenberg school, who explicitly coined the term with racial connotations and conflated semites with Jewish people. As we both agree, there is no world where the definition of semite is independent of its etymology. Semites now, of course, refer to all the speakers of semitic languages, not a specific set within that set. So, if you're conflating anti-semitism and judeaphobia, then you're necessarily resorting back to a racial meaning. And if you're using racial terminology, then I'm afraid that you're classifying people by race. Just out of curiosity, we DO both agree that race is a false construct, and that using racial classifications means that someone is classifying people by race, right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:9880:3118:34:BD9B:6E7B:88ED:8977 (talk) 19:34, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

I want to thank you for your good work at Attalus I and for saving "my" FA ;-) Much of the hagiographical tone, which you rightly objected to, arose from my attempts to satisfy objections, at the article's 2004 FAC, about there not being enough on why Attalus was important. I was a newbie and I went along to get along, something I wouldn't do today. Paul August ☎ 15:24, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Guayana Esequiba move discussionHi! Kind regards. I wanted to thank you for your time to go through the last move discussion about the Guayana Esequiba and for explaining the decision to move. I wanted to express that I believe that the discussion was closer to a No consensus result, given the arguments from both sides, and ask if you could reconsider the outcome. I think that issues such as WP:NDESC can be solved by further expanding the article, as the Spanish version still has content to be translated, for instance. Best wishes and many thanks in advance.

Amelia EarhartI originally sent this to Desertarun but only realised that you were the one who made the new article. I don't know if the entire "disappearance" article is going on the new article, but it could possibly be able to include the July 2 take off and messages; I have the book "Finding Amelia" by Ric Gillespie and ignoring whether TIGHAR's theory bears credibility, he offers a good through detail of the search and possible radio signals that may or may not have been coming from the plane. I have also included views of Earhart family members as to how they feel about some of the theories. By the way, I think the main Earhart article could use some concision to simplify the length or descriptions of events. The description of the main image is superfluous, saying "Earhart beneath the nose of her Lockheed Model 10-E Electra, March 1937 in Oakland, California, before departing on her final round-the-world attempt prior to her disappearance"; the words "before departing on her final round-the-world attempt prior to her disappearance" could be omitted as it would be very clear when the photo was taken and doesn't necessary relate to the vanishing as that was months away. The words "It is generally presumed that she and Noonan died somewhere in the Pacific during the circumnavigation, just three weeks prior to her fortieth birthday" are an odd placement to me, as in the event any of the theories (crash and sink or Gardner island castaway) are ever confirmed, it could be misleading, particularly if for the sake of argument, it is the Gardner Island castaway theory that is confirmed, it would have been possible she would have lived to have seen her 40th birthday, if she had survived on Gardner for some time before perishing. Speaking of which, there is a possible article that could be used for the recent sonar discovery in which David Jourdan (himself a crash and sink theorist) cautions, "It is impossible to identify anything from a sonar image alone as sound can be tricky and the artifact could be damaged in unpredictable ways altering its shape. For that reason, you can never say that something is (or isn’t) from a sonar image alone, https://edition.cnn.com/2024/01/30/travel/amelia-earhart-missing-plane-pacific-ocean-scn/index.html 80.43.251.32 (talk) 20:18, 21 March 2024 (UTC) 80.43.251.32 (talk) 20:18, 21 March 2024 (UTC) 80.43.251.32 (talk) 20:23, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment at the tectonic plate lowercasing RM, now relistedThanks, and the RM at the talk page of Eurasian Plate was relisted on the 15th, so not much time left. Logic and commonsense would keep the uppercasing on the 90+ plates under discussion, but lowercasers are using the casing guideline, which some of us have countered with WP:IAR and WP:COMMONSENSE which is under fairly intense discussion.
