Information icon Hello, I'm S0091. I noticed that you recently removed content from Jack Swigert without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. S0091 (talk) 18:25, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I did not REMOVE. I MOVED content. I moved the sentence of him being a boy scout to be next to his schooling.

My sincere apologies, StellarNerd! I clearly misinterpreted the change. My mistake so I reverted myself and your change stands. Again, I do apologize for my error and thank you for your contributions! S0091 (talk) 18:37, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sanctions against all members of State Duma by EU

All the 351 members of State Duma (450 members), under house of Russia, and also a lot of legislative members in Federation Council, upper house of Russia, are sanctioned by EU .

[...]"Within the existing framework for sanctions, the EU will extend restrictive measures to cover all the 351 members of the Russian State Duma, who voted on 15 February in favour of the appeal to President Putin to recognise the independence of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk ”republics” --92.76.99.82 (talk) 18:38, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I put yesterday in Category:Russian individuals subject to the European Union sanctions all duma members of Putin party United Russia (325 members) and of right wing party LDPR (22 members), not the members of opposition left parties (Communist Party of the Russian Federation and A Just Russia — For Truth). --92.76.99.82 (talk) 18:45, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But this is something specific to these people personally, it was a blanket measure against hundreds and thousands of people based on them being members of bodies. Russia also passed sanctions, should all bios sanctioned by Russia be marked? Other countries? There will be no end here. StellarNerd (talk) 05:19, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Violence against Muslims in India

I don't think you are aware of the scope of this subject.

You have to read the discussion at Talk:Violence_against_Muslims_in_India/Archive_2#Section_break_for_ease, Talk:Violence_against_Muslims_in_India#Hemantha's_reverts and Talk:Violence_against_Muslims_in_India#Large revert.

The scope is restricted for this page to cover only major incidents, this had been once again clarified by the long term editor of this page, Vanamonde93 in the words "I don't think minor incidents ought to be mentioned in list form at all (on this page, or any similar overarching page about violence). Of course, that tends to be a pointless argument; every page has its POV pushers demanding the inclusion of every last incident."[1]

Do you have consensus to expand the scope? If you don't have one, then you must self-revert yourself here. Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 20:14, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You made many changes in that one huge edit, and I don't see wide ranging user agreement in that discussion. You have one user agreeing with you about different content in February. Back then you were discussing this removal of 1452 letters. Now you are removing eight times that, 12,543 letters, in your edit. I agree with Vanamonde93 that minor things shouldn't be there, but you aren't only removing minor things. --StellarNerd (talk) 20:19, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The discussion didn't just involve removing 1452 letters but reverting back to the "last stable version". I have already described how I reverted to the last stable version. Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 20:21, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The article was 70,958 letters at 05:44, 27 December 2020‎ https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Violence_against_Muslims_in_India&oldid=996541012 and 72,875 letters on 17:27, 14 November 2021 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Violence_against_Muslims_in_India&oldid=1055229464 . You took it down to 60,903 letters with https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Violence_against_Muslims_in_India&diff=1090750469&oldid=1090750352 . The last time this article was so small, was in the beginning of 2020: https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/Violence_against_Muslims_in_India#year-counts . You aren't taking it to the stable version at all. --StellarNerd (talk) 20:26, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nobody talked about including minor incidents. To understand how this version was longstanding can be understood by comparing this version March 2016 version with September 2020 version. You will find no difference when it comes to "Major incidents" other than the addition of 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots and 2020 Delhi riots, to which I don't object.

Huh. Last person who posted one of these blue things here got blocked like twenty minutes later. Good luck. --StellarNerd (talk) 20:29, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Madness of Crowds

Concerning this edit, WP:LEADFOLLOWSBODY would be better served if the Eagleton discussion (and quote) were included in the body as well, without removing the mention in the lead. Bht without my typos, I hope. :) Newimpartial (talk) 21:19, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Newimpartial, is this better? --StellarNerd (talk) 21:22, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It certainly is, though I don't think "mostly positive" necessarily belongs... I was working with an imperfect version. ;) Newimpartial (talk) 21:25, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You have a point there. Certainly a varied response. --StellarNerd (talk) 21:30, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

2000 Mules

You more or less dismissed an edit I was suggesting without thoughtfully looking at what I suggested. I would like to AGF and ask that you please review my comments in response to you there in the talk page. Misunderstandings happen. 205.168.105.204 (talk) 20:05, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Done, apologies I was confused by your use of "add" when you were suggesting to modify an existing paragraph. --StellarNerd (talk) 20:09, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Deportation of Chinese in the Soviet Union

Hi, I am the translator of Deportation of Chinese in the Soviet Union, which is now under deletion review due to User:折毛's hoax. Although the English version differed from the Chinese version created by 折毛 from the very beginning, it contained English translation of the Chinese content created by 折毛. To eliminate the impact of her content, I have validated the sources and removed all sources if they are unverifiable. Also, I have added new content backed by new reliable sources. I am thankful for your participation in the previous discussion of the deletion review, but now that the deletion review is not being relisted, I am not sure whether you might want to take a look at the new, mostly re-written, and validated version of the article and express your opinion in the deletion review. I will be most grateful to your further comment regarding any potential improvement of the article and regarding your decision in the deletion review.

IIHF's view

The IIHF calls the country Czechia & that's where I limited the page moves. However, you're free to open up an RFC on the matter, in the appropriate place. GoodDay (talk) 20:22, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The IIHF doesn't rule on country names in Wikipedia or in English, it just copies what the country asks. If you want to make it, please launch a proper request moved and have an uninvolved editor close it, preferably a sysop. --StellarNerd (talk) 20:24, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This isn't about the country, it's about the hockey teams. Recommend WP:HOCKEY, as the place for an RFC on the matter. GoodDay (talk) 20:25, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It is about the country, as the team belongs to the country. --StellarNerd (talk) 20:26, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If you're not gonna bring it up at WP:HOCKEY? Then I will. GoodDay (talk) 20:27, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Consensus was against your point of view, but you decided to act and revert anyway.
In that case you should backtrace all GoodDay's changes and revert them all. Chrz (talk) 21:46, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What are all of GoodDay's changes ? I am only aware of the Czech Republic team. --StellarNerd (talk) 04:34, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Recent moves to Czechia women's national ice hockey team, Czechia men's national junior ice hockey team, Czechia men's national under-18 ice hockey team, Czechia women's national under-18 ice hockey team. FromCzech (talk) 06:44, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lavender oil

User:StellarNerd Please undo your revert. The RfC below is *not* to determine if the current source should stay in, it's to determine if *more* source should be added. Consensus was already reached on the current source that Zefr keeps removing. 50.45.170.185 (talk) 18:30, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a consensus to add this content. --StellarNerd (talk) 18:32, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
