Wikipedia is not a directory

Please read WP:NOTDIRECTORY and Wikipedia:College_and_university_article_advice#Academics_(or_Academic_profile), which states Because Wikipedia is not a directory, do not attempt to list every major, degree, or program offered in this or any section. It may be appropriate to highlight some of the areas of study, but it's not appropriate to exhaustively list all of them. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 11:45, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know! I get where you're coming from about keeping Wikipedia tidy. I agree that we should focus on the important stuff and keep things concise. I was planning to tweak the article later to make sure it meets Wikipedia's rules. With the course info totally gone, the article feels a bit incomplete. Maybe we can find a middle ground on what to include. Thanks again for bringing this up! Green Adogu (talk) 12:12, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject_Higher_education/Accomplishments includes some featured articles and good articles that you can use as examples of how to incorporate information about academic programs without violating WP:NOT. It probably makes the most sense to look at good articles about small to medium-sized universities such as Lafayette College, Lindenwood University, University of the Philippines Los Baños.

Pentrich Revolution

Hi. For some years I have been trying to correct the title of the page 'Pentrich Rising' which is incorrect. The historical event is known locally, and nationally, as the Pentrich Revolution. I have previously sited evidience from several sources, including the Government, which clearly and plainly state my usage. Today I went to Pentrich and two two images, which I uploaded, both saying the same thing.

Wiki policy is to use the local common term for the event, and that is what all refer to. I have lived in the area on and off for decades and never heard anyone say 'rising'.

Please rename this page and stop someone changing the title. Martski22 (talk) 20:30, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation! I can see you've been trying to get this changed for a while. I also noticed you and another editor brought this up on the talk page a couple of times, but since there wasn't much participation, no consensus was reached.

I've checked the source you provided, and I see that both "Pentrich Rising" and "Pentrich Revolution" are used, so it's not entirely clear cut.

I'd recommend starting a requested move process to get more input. You can make your case there, and also check out WP:UCRN further. ZyphorianNexus (talk) 21:21, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your advice ZN - I'll do as you suggest when I have some time for a thorough reply. Martski22 (talk) 22:54, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

+rollback

Hi ZyphorianNexus,

After reviewing your request, I have added your account to the rollback group. Keep in mind these things when using rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Users should be informed (or warned) after their edits have been reverted. If warnings repeatedly don't help, WP:ANI is the default place to go. In cases of very clear ongoing intentional damage to the encyclopedia, WP:AIV can be used.
• Reverting someone's edits may confuse or upset them. Whenever other users message you on your talk page, please take the time to respond to their concerns; accountability is important. For most users who message you, the tone and quality of your answer will permanently influence their opinion about Wikipedia in general.
• Because the plain default rollback link does not provide any explanatory edit summary, it must not be used to revert good faith contributions, even if these contributions are disruptive. Take the time to write a proper summary whenever you're dealing with a lack of neutrality or verifiability; a short explanation like "[[WP:NPOV|not neutral]]" or "[[WP:INTREF|Please provide a citation]]" is helpful.
• Rollback may never be used to edit war, which you'll notice to be surprisingly tempting in genuine content disputes. Please especially keep the three-revert rule in mind. If you see others edit warring, please file a report at WP:ANEW. The most helpful essay I've ever seen is WP:DISCFAIL; it is especially important for those who review content regularly.
• If you encounter private information or threats of physical harm during your patrols, please quickly use Special:EmailUser/Oversight or Special:EmailUser/Emergency; ideally bookmark these pages now. See WP:OS and WP:EMERGENCY for details. If you're regularly patrolling recent changes, you will need both contacts sooner or later, and you'll be happy about the bookmarks.

To try rollback for the first time, you may like to make an edit to WP:Sandbox, and another one, and another one, and then revert the row with one click. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about rollback. Thank you for your time and work in cleaning up Wikipedia. Happy editing!

Best regards,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 02:51, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New page reviewer granted

Hi ZyphorianNexus, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

• Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
• If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
• If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! – Joe (talk) 10:13, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
