Ref style

Hey, nice job figuring out the ref functionality in David Wright (baseball player)! It's very nice how it automates the references at the bottom - but the syntax is a little baffling.  :) —Wknight94 (talk) 20:49, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Look at you! Still knocking it out of the park on that David Wright (baseball player) article! You've got that one looking real nice. We have far too many articles on current baseball players with weird unsourced comments - it's nice to see this one starting to rise above the norm. —Wknight94 (talk) 10:16, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gail Sheridan

You edit to Gail Sheridan was nothing to do with disambiguation link repair, despite your edit summary. Adding 7 stub messages to a 2 sentence article looks really strange. Secretlondon 12:18, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Burhan Doğançay

Does this article really need five stub tags? OzLawyer 23:19, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Thank you for making the effort to improve Wikipedia! Woodshed 06:49, 9 August 2006 (UTC)"[reply]
This doesn't answer my question. OzLawyer 12:17, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly. Posting non-specific talk page comments like "Thank you for making the effort to improve Wikipedia!" doesn't achieve anything and doesn't answer my question. I was asking if your work in adding several stub tags to an article is really the right thing to do. I expected a "yes, and here's the reason" or a "no, you're right" answer. OzLawyer 12:38, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but five stub tags (and apparently seven on Gail Sheridan) is overkill. You may want to discuss it here. There's no use in adding stub tags to articles only to have them reverted by others as excessive. OzLawyer 12:46, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Why I had to be so obtuse?! Well, because your first response said absolutely nothing, and after that you still didn't seem to get it. Whatever. Keep getting reverted. OzLawyer 13:04, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
One more: Your new choice on Burhan Dogancay is spot on. OzLawyer 13:06, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now that's some fancy mousework

Wow, I'm impressed with how fast you were all over Regent Street Co-op with that stub sorting. Nice work, if I'd wanted to go further than placing {{stub}} on the article I would still be looking for the appropriate tags! BigNate37(T) 05:51, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you used
<nowiki>[[Category:Stubs]]</nowiki>
On my userpage, did you know you can just use
[[:Category:Stubs]]
(note the colon) to create a category link without adding the page to the category? Just thought I'd let you know. It's the same for images. BigNate37(T) 17:35, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not a royalty

Velu thampi was not a member of Royalty. He was only the Chief Minister (dewan) of the King). He can be classified as a freedom Fighter, Statesman or probably some other appropriate category. Any way thanks. activevoid 14:26, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hall Cup?

Glory Fades Away says nothing about it, and I had never heard of it before. If it was only issued in 1888 (when the Giants beat the St. Louis Browns) maybe it was a one-shot thing that the author either didn't know about or didn't see fit to comment on. I will take a look at your articles when I get the chance. d:) Wahkeenah 11:45, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Bill McGunnigle, it looks pretty good, an interesting story of an early, successful pitcher and manager whose careers were twice cut short due to accidents. One thing I want to point out is a subtlety about the pitching distance. 50 feet was the front line of a "pitcher's box" from within which the pitcher had to release the ball. Since 1993 the pitcher has had to toe the rubber, which is 60 feet 6 inches away. But if you think about the release point of a modern pitch, it is much closer to home plate, maybe 53 feet, depending on the pitcher's full extension. If you're pitching from within a box 50 feet away, your release point is going to be, at closest, maybe 48 feet, something like that. So the difference in the pitching distance was not quite as dramatic as it might seem. Wahkeenah 12:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The writeup on the Chronicle-Telegraph Cup is a much-needed fill-in explaining that one-time championship which has been largely ignored. Some would argue it was a "gimmick", an exhibition, and the same charge has been leveled against every post-season playoff, including the 1903 "World Series", prior to the official, league-sanctioned World Series that began in 1905. Wahkeenah 12:40, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Another fine point: The National League was the only major league, but was not the only professional league. The International League and the Western League, for example. Wahkeenah 13:55, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

One possible subtlety about the American League club that was formed to replace the Baltimore Orioles (19th century): the ballpark they had to use. It seems the new Washington club was forced to use a temporary ballpark, a different site than the older Griffith Stadium site, until the leagues made peace and the National League yielded its rights to that site. I wonder if, in 1901, the same thing happened in Baltimore? Were the new Orioles also prevented from using the Union Park site, and thus forced to go to the previous site? Or was Union Park gone by then anyway? By 1903 it would have been moot, since part of the peace settlement was to move the Baltimore club to New York, and the new minor league Orioles stayed put rather than maybe trying to resurrect Union Park. An intriguing question that I hadn't considered before. Wahkeenah 12:49, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Resolution (settlement)

I've ben trying to find some one to ask advice about Resolution (settlement). Since you marked it for deletion I just wanted to ask a question. I am Disambiguating the Resolution page and some pages that link to it do not seem to have a good place to redirect to. Literary element links to the page and far as I can tell no Resolution page makes sense to link to. It seems either 1. A category of Resolution needs to be added. or 2. the link to resolution needs to be removed. I'd love to hear your thoughts -test STHayden [ Talk ] 14:43, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, what's with the edit summaries that you hate Wikipedia?! I see a lot of your edits around Mets and other baseball pages and you're doing great work!

Box fans are axial, not centrifugal, fans so I've changed your merge proposal (to Fan (mechanical)). Hope that's what you intended. I'm tempted just to redirect it since I doubt there is anything worth keeping in the article. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 13:52, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

struct-stubs

Hi Woodshed - good work on the stub sorting. One small point, though - if you're tagging a building, don't give it both struct-stub and a country-geo-stub - just give it a country-struct-stub (a lot of countries have their own struct-stubs now, and buildings aren't usually classed as geo-stubs). Cheers, and keep up the good work :) Grutness...wha? 01:42, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

bot-tagging of disambigs

Please see the numerous previous discussions of this. If a page is intended to be a disambig, but is not tagged as such, it's not feasible to attempt auto-detection or auto-correction, and is likely to be error-prone in both directions to try. Alai (talk) 23:34, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Talk about zombie discussions. Looks like English to me: if it's insufficiently "plain" for your tastes, perhaps you'll just have to take my word for the lack of desirability. In the meantime, I strongly recommend taking a much less confrontational approach regarding your own lapses of reading comprehension. Alai (talk) 03:27, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:2006 ICC EAP Cricket Trophy.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:2006 ICC EAP Cricket Trophy.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:54, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Recently using Dab solver (which I don't know) you redirected links from destination Boston Red Stockings to destination Atlanta Braves. I would like to redirect them again to History of the Atlanta Braves #Boston years, and I have done so for two instances on my watchlist (Nate Berkenstock and Washington Olympics). Do you know how to find all of the instances?

P.S. I doubt the four-year old decision to call "Boston Red Stockings" a disambiguation page. --P64 (talk) 20:18, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct that we normally do not make separate articles for elementary schools and junior highschools, and instead make articles on the district.mentioning the individual schools.

dabbing Owyhee

Marikana Land Occupation

I disagree with your rationale for dePRODding Marikana Land Occupation, claiming that it is "not an everyday event".

Stubs

Well done for attacking the huge list of stubs to be sorted. I keep an eye on those starting with "P", and those misfiled under "The ", and pick off a few others which look interesting (especially ones which have a disambiguation term, to check whether they've got the right incoming link from a hatnote or dab page, and some of the ones which obviously need a DEFAULTSORT 'cos they're filed by forename), but I've lost some of my past enthusiasm for working through the whole lot, especially when it's 700+! I tend to pick off an Indian village and spend ages tidying up the stub.

I've used AWB a couple of times recently, to look for (a) those which already have a stub template (searching for "-stub}}"), and (b) those which are probably a dab page (searching for "refer to"), to try to reduce the enormous list.

I wondered who was working on them these days, so put RVA Football Club on my watchlist last night as you seem to be working up from the bottom! And good detailed stub-types too, not just {{bio-stub}} etc. Thanks for all your work. PamD 08:58, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I explained the removal of the unsourced content on the talk page, a source needs to be provided otherwise it is original research and Synthesis of published material. LGA talkedits 13:19, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your actions here are disruptive, despite me posting to both the article talk page (at the time of the removal of the section) and your talk page after your first revert pointing that out, you have made no attempt to discuss this with me. If you had claimed that it was covered by WP:CALC, I would have pointed out that does not cover taking results from multiple tournaments and combining them into a rank as has been done at the article in a way that no other RS have done before. What WP:CALC would cover is taking a source that combined the results from the '07, '09 and '10 tournaments and then a WP editor adding in the results of the '12 in the same way. Secondly the burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material that is you. So you should either provide that source or the information should be removed until one can be found.

May 2014 disambig contest: let's do it again!

Greetings fellow disambiguator! Remember back in February when we made history by clearing the board for the first time ever, for the monthly disambiguation contest? Let's do it again in May! I personally will be aiming to lead the board next month, but for anyone who thinks they can put in a better effort, I will give a $10 Amazon gift card to any editor who scores more disambiguation points in May. Also, I will be setting up a one-day contest later in the month, and will try to set up more prizes and other ways to make this a fun and productive month.

CFP and undue weight

As you know, the neutral point of view policy requires us to acknowledge all significant viewpoints within articles. As the sanctioning body does not officially select a national champion, it is up to third-parties to designate them. It is, in my opinion, undue to refer to the winner of the "championship game" as the national champion unless they earn the title through at least 2 of the 3 major methods (AP poll, Coaches' Poll, CFP) cited by reliable sources to determine the title, because they are all based off the opinions of varying parties, and once in a while, they may actually disagree.

Thomas Harris and interviews

Hello. I saw that you removed the info that Thomas Harris didn’t give any interviews between 1976 and 2019 from his page because you had a problem with the citation. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to handle citations, but I could show you some of the sources that mention the fact that, until 2019, his last interview was in 1976. I think it’s very interesting and important information, the fact that he never gave any interviews for the Lecter novels, and it really should be on his page. Could you please help me out with adding the necessary citations?

Speedy deletion nomination of John Henry Phelan

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 John Henry Phelan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Henry Phelan. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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 deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Thanks for uploading File:Reunion-buffy.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:28, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
