The Barnstar of Diplomacy
Thank you Samuel for all your help. Northernva (talk) 02:13, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
The Citation Barnstar
Thanks for adding information and sources to Industrial Fasteners Institute. It's an unusual subject that I originally wasn't confident that we could find many sources for, but I'm so glad that we were able to improve the article. WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:22, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

As of

Hi Samuel, you might want to do some research on the 'As of' feature, it's a way of tracking time sensitive information. The link to 'As of' redirects, so it is transparent to the user, but you can go to the 'As of 2001' page to see statements that were true that year, updating as necessary. Yours, Troll Silent, Troll Deep 15:31, 4 May 2004 (UTC)

Greeting

I just wanted to say hello -- I saw you added a middle name to the Jacques Barzun article (the very first article I ever wrote here, as I recall) and was glad to know someone had stopped by. :-) Your blog looks interesting -- I was a graduate student in religious history (the English Reformation, specifically) for several years, and one of my fellow students had a brother taking his PhD in religious history at Notre Dame. I'm sure our interests will allow us to intersect in the future here, and I'm looking fo rward to it. Happy editing , Jwrosenzweig 15:43, 4 May 2004 (UTC)

Name

As far as I can tell, the man's name is Edward Montague Compton Mackenzie. He's often given as Sir (Edward Montague) Compton Mackenzie, which means the whole thing is what his name is. They are not alternative names. john 02:36, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

No need to move him, as he's apparently known as "Compton Mackenzie". Stick with best known name - we don't have Tony Blair at Anthony Charles Lynton Blair, after all. I already fixed the article text. john 02:41, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

East German Myths

Right on with the East German myths page. Looks like someone just pasted in a list of complaints or something, eh?

I made minor changes to the first part of it before looking down and seeing a total dog's breakfast... --Krupo 23:49, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

Various

This is how you strike through text (Click "edit this page" to see the markup).

Also, I think perhaps you should have a go at rewriting the Catholocism section of Original sin. I agree that it could use some work, and I think you'd do a good job on it.

Acegikmo1 15:58, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I find calling the 'Leather Pride Flag' "Not notable" rather insulting. (I marched in the San Francisco Pride parade this year as part of the Leather contingent). Pride Flags are very important to the communities they represent.

UCC/UUA congregations

Are any of the UCC/UUA congregations jointly affiliated due to not accepting the split way back when? I know there are some UCC/UUA congregations that hold joint membership because of congregational mergers, and some because of intentional joint affiliation from the start of the congregation (after the split). I question whether any are from maintaning joint affiliation from the time of the Unitarian/Congregational split. But I have an open mind. I'm trying to put together a list of UCC/UUA congregations and their reasons for and history of joint affiliation. - UtherSRG 23:04, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I've sent an email to both the UCC and UUA for a list of congregations jointly affiliated with both associations a couple of days ago. I heard back today from the UUA that they are compiling the list.... seems that different staff groups have different parts of the information. Just FYI. - UtherSRG 16:33, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

List of Samanthas

Good job being pro-active and boldly editing, but in the future when moving VfD-listed pages, could you also move the "/page name" VfD vote page to the new article name, and edit the VFD page itself to reflect these moves, too to avoid confusion between whether Samantha or List of Samanthas was listed for deletion.

Thank you for your support on "Catholicism"!

I do appreciate it, I was beginning to feel a little like a voice in the wilderness -- wondering if I was alone in finding that "The Evil Empire"/"Criticisms of Catholicism" just really irredeemable. (The vandalism of the talk page was just the last straw, really.) -- Antaeus Feldspar 02:02, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

The vandal apparently has the username User:ClarityMS07 and is once again vandalizing Catholicism. Can you help again? -- Antaeus Feldspar 02:36, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Note: adding re-posting relevant content is not vandalism. I am not a 'vandal'.--ClarityMS07 14:29, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)

He is now blaming his vandalism of the talk page on a sockpuppet who just happened to share the same IP address over a period of 47.5 hours during which neither of them edited any other page from that address. MattWilkes may also be a sockpuppet, since that user never edited a single page before making an appearance to take ClarityMS07's side in the revert war. -- Antaeus Feldspar 02:40, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)


Hello. We haven't actually met before, but I think I should inform you of a recent development on the "Vandalism in progress" page which may have affected your articles.

About an hour ago, I attempted to report an act of vandalism on the Louis Riel page, in the "Current Alerts" section. Unfortunately, as I was doing this I accidentally deleted an important section of the "Vandalism in progress" main page -- possibly accounting for some of the confusion which other users have be reported in the last hour.

I believed that I've fixed the situation now. Please note that this was the result of a misinterpretation on my part, and not a deliberate act of vandalism. I apologize for any inconvenience that my actions may have caused. (Please also note that it took me almost an hour to identify and solve the problem.)

You may wish to review your recent contributions to the "Vandalism in progress" page, to ensure that everything you intended to write ended up in its proper place. CJCurrie 02:11, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)


True Cross

I see that you have introduced yourself at the entry with a notice The neutrality and factual accuracy of this article are disputed— after a single edit back in July and without a single remark among the Discussion. I see no reason why a subject just because it is Christian cannot also be truthful in its history (hard to achieve at Wikipedia, however), so I look forward to cooperating with you in making a fully-detailed and accurate entry on this interesting subject. Do you have access to Cyril of Jerusalem's Catacheses, for quotes on his story of the finding, which appears to be the earliest? That would be a help. Wetman 07:18, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Howdy and many thanks for your work on that list of mis-punctuated links. The list's pretty much completed now - I'll be generating a new version of it in due course, taking all the lessons learned from the last one into account. In the meantime, if you enjoyed working through the list (or at least found it a worthwhile distraction), you may want to have a look at the similar list of plural discrepancies which highlights red-links that might be red because they (or the article they are aiming for) are improperly pluralised. Again, thanks for your efforts - award yourself a wikimedal for janitorial services if you haven't already got one! - TB 11:29, 2004 Nov 8 (UTC)

Public Theater

Your original entry was tagged incorrectly. Once known as Joseph Papp's Public Theater, the name of this organization reverted to Public Theater after his death. It is so designated at the entrance of the building. Had you initially used the proper tag, there would have been no duplicate article created, since I would have discovered one existed when I searched for "Public Theater" - unfortunately, Wikipedia doesn't ignore "A" and "The" and therefore I received the response that no such item existed. TOM 13:58, Dec 8, 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Republics

Need your help and/or advice. The British Wikipedian Republican Party sought fit to delete Wikinfo:Classical definition of republic from Wikipedia. There is a terrible brouhaha at Talk:Republic. They won't even allow an external link! SimonP really doesn't know what he is doing. They deleted the Classical definition of republic and created mixed government and politeia instead. The official title of mixed government is a Republic and the Romans translated "politiea" as Republic. And then to top it off the new article Classical republicanism doesn't refer to the Classical republics of Crete, Sparta, Solonic Athens, or Rome but to Machiavelli's ideology. How can that be when Venice in the 13th century instituted a mixed government and called herself a "Republic".

With Jwrosenwieg and Kim Bruning there was a tacit agreement a year ago to have republic be the modern meaning and a [Classical definition of republic] to describe the ancient republics of Hellas and Rome and their influence. To say the least the "Republic section" is all messed up. We need some clarification. I have new information but User:Snowspinner won't let me bring this back up for undelete. (I do grant that a little bit of the Classical definition is original but the rest is not.) I will not let Sparta be called anything but a republic! I will not let the British wikipedian modern republicans strip Sparta, (my heritage and roots) of her rightful name. She is a Classical republic and needs to be called such! At the least, where is the damage in having an external link?WHEELER 15:29, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Monsignor

Someone removed your dispute notice on monsignor. I just wanted to make sure you were aware of it and ask if you still dispute the article. Pmadrid 22:21, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Ratzinger Photo

Not sure why you think claiming that a photo of Ratzinger while he member of the the Hitlerjugend (Hitler Youth) in the section discussing his activities during WWII is a "lie", but your removal and trying to sweep the facts under the rug does neither you, nor the truth any good. Only meticulous adherence to the facts and a full airing of those facts (including the relevant photos of the period) are going to allow people to be fully informed and cognizant of the historical facts involved. Lestatdelc 04:15, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)

I may have removed it in the process of working on the text, i'm doing my best to keep up. I think accurate text takes precedence over an optional photo. Your comments are completely inappropriate. I haven't called anything a lie. You should apologize.--Samuel J. Howard 04:22, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
My apologies... the edit that accused the photo of being a lie was 19:59, Apr 19, 2005 165.123.190.42 (?Pre-WWII and Wartime - POV, trying to insinuate a lie)
And yours was directly beneath it:
(cur) (last) 19:59, Apr 19, 2005 Samuel J. Howard (?Pre-WWII and Wartime - removing out of place sentence)
And in the page history I must have clicked on your name by mistake thinking the "it is a lie" comment was yours when it was the anonymous editior above yours. Mea culpa. Lestatdelc 04:28, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
Apology accepted. I definitely think that picture should be in there. (Although I wonder if it is a flak uniform not a HJ uniform. (could in fact be both, he was an auxialliary to the flak as a helper so he may have worn HJ uniform when w/the flak))--Samuel J. Howard 04:44, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
The thing I noted was the pin on the hat, being a Hitlerjugend pin, in addition this reprpduction Hitlerjugend uniform for older teens looks like what Ratzinger was wearing in the photo.

Ratzinger's father

Thank you for your recent addition of the quotation from the London Sunday Times. A direct citation from a relatively reputable source looks better than bald assertion of the "staunchly anti-Nazi" claim. I fully support your current revision of that paragraph.

Ok, why did you want "nouvelle theologie" inserted? I didn't see a reason on the talk page. — Rickyrab | Talk 05:53, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Opus Dei

Thank you, Samuel, for working on the massive task of revising the Opus Dei article towards NPOV. I hope the various versions of this article will meet in the middle to create an excellent and well-polished NPOV article. -- The Anome 08:58, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)

Thank you, too, for your masterly introduction of the metaphor: "The Cardinals and the Padres are different, but [they are] both still baseball teams." into the Opus Dei discussion. It is such moments of brilliance that make editing Wikipedia so rewarding. --Theo (Talk) 14:42, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thanks again for all your help, Samuel. Do you still intend to continue editing the Opus Dei article? I would like to know how make the article more neutral. I'd like to know your plans and your response to my explanation for the rearrangement. Please give some feedback. Lafem 08:31, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Licence to kill

I have reinstated the licence to kill (concept) article on the grounds that I could not find reference to it going through the Articles for deletion process. There was a VFD nomination a year ago but the archive clearly states that consensus was not reached, contrary to a comment in your edit summary saying it was. Based on the comments on the talk page it would appear that the decision to delete the content and turn it into a redirect to the movie occurred only yesterday (June 5) whereas the VFD process usually takes a couple of weeks and I could find no nomination (I check there regularly). If in fact there was a VFD vote and I missed it, then please accept my apologies and feel free to revert my changes (please post a link to the discussion to the article's talk page). But clearly there is a difference of opinion as to the validity of the article in question, in which case the community should vote on it. Thanks. 23skidoo 13:53, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Protestantism

Please let us know specifically what your complaint is with the article, and why you believe it ought to be disputed; your comments were a bit vague. Thanks. KHM03 12:27, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Also, please let me know here, on the Protestantism talk page, or on mine, what caused you to be offended; and, I will work with you to correct what I've done. Mkmcconn (Talk) 19:29, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Robert Pelton Sibley

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Robert Pelton Sibley, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Speedy deletion nomination of Josh Millard

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 Josh Millard requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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. 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.

ND seal

Hi there! As a member of the Notre Dame project, I'd invite you over to take a look at a current disagreement taking place over the ND seal. Traditionally, and all over campus, the seal is colored, but another user has brought up that he would like to see it in black and white. Please take a look at the discussion here and chime in if you would like. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:University_of_Notre_Dame#The_Seal

ANI Experiences survey

Beginning on November 28, 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Community health initiative (Safety and Support and Anti-Harassment Tools team) will be conducting a survey to en.wikipedia contributors on their experience and satisfaction level with the Administrator’s Noticeboard/Incidents. This survey will be integral to gathering information about how this noticeboard works - which problems it deals with well, and which problems it struggles with.

The survey should take 10-20 minutes to answer, and your individual responses will not be made public. The survey is delivered through Google Forms. The privacy policy for the survey describes how and when Wikimedia collects, uses, and shares the information we receive from survey participants and can be found here:

If you would like to take this survey, please sign up on this page, and a link for the survey will be mailed to you via Special:Emailuser.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Guruji Maharaj, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chai (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Discretionary sanctions aware

Walter E. Washington Convention Center

Hi, noticed you rolled back some edits I made on the Walter E. Washington Convention Center page. Just clarifying -- the convention center collection is arguably the largest public collection of art outside of a museum in Washington. Your counterexamples are important but slightly incorrect - the Pentagon is not located in Washington, DC (it's in Virginia), and the GSA Collection/Congressional Collections are not always considered public art collections as the vast majority of that art is not accessible even when not in storage, as the pieces are located in private offices and non-public government buildings. Multiple sources cite the Convention center as having the largest convention center collection in the country and the largest public collection in DC outside of a museum (or one of the largest): DCist piece, DC Convention Center, and DC's tourist info site. I think it's definitely arguable that it's one of the largest public collections in DC, and it's definitely also arguable that the Congressional Collection and GSA Collection count as public, but I do think it's an interesting/important fact that a convention center has a contemporary art collection large enough to be considered one of the largest public collections in DC. Don't want to just undo your edits without explaining, but I'm going to adjust the text to say it's "one of" the largest public collections in DC, and add the DCist piece as citation. Let me know if that makes sense! --19h00s (talk) 14:28, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael A. Elliott

I don't appreciate the tone of the your comment at this discussion. I would invite you to remember to assume good faith. I found it defamatory and misleading as it suggested that I have a history of inappropriate or improper AFDs - I don't. Please don't confused AFDs contested with not understanding or following the process. I have edited on 'pedia a long time - probably not as long as you - so if you had looked at my history, you'd see that I am fairly competent. This was clearly a ill-judgment on my behalf given the weight of opposing views and my lack of understanding of NPROF. My history is not of making spurious deletion requests. On the projects I work on, I have a history of making solid improvements and AFDs based on an assessment of criteria that are relevant. Please don't make casting aspersions or assumptions about my editing credentials or quality when I (to my knowledge) have not interacted with you before, and aside from perhaps viewing my contribution/AFD history know little about me. If you choose not to respond to this then you are welcome to not do so, that is in your gift, however please don't tarnish/defame or malign me in discussions for making a mistake. >> Lil-unique1 (talk) — 23:45, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, but apparently you don't understand AGF either. It requires that we assume that your edits are attempting to be productive, in other words that they're not malicious. It doesn't exempt them from criticism when they are bad.Jahaza (talk) 23:50, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
By all means criticise the edits not not the editor. However saying "judging by their history" suggests I have an issue with AFDs or competency - which I don't. To say so is defamatory. What I have learnt from the experience, and been schooled on very clearly, is I probably don't know enough about NACADEMIC to get involved in such articles and will give them a wide birth. Sorry but I found your tone/style condescending. Ill judged AFD and concerns about academic articles from me, but I leave the situation not exactly feeling some aspects of bitten from you. I wouldn't want an editor I have interacted with to feel like I've belittled them or somehow suggested their incompetent because they have misunderstood something. Not really in the community spirit is it? >> Lil-unique1 (talk) — 00:25, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Short descriptions

These should not be treated like the standfirsts of news articles that further explain the subject - they should briefly categorize the subject, in fewer than 40 characters. See WP:SHORTDESC. Modify short descriptions all you like (within the guidelines), but please don't revert shortening efforts to prior short description versions that quite clearly violate all of the basic requirements. Iskandar323 (talk) 19:58, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

You're going to have to tell me which one you're objecting to. It's also important that they be accurate. Inaccuracy also violates the basic requirements. Jahaza (talk) 20:00, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

DYK for Thomas Yarborough

On 13 August 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Thomas Yarborough, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in 1948, Thomas Yarborough became the first African American to be elected as a city council member in California? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Thomas Yarborough. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Thomas Yarborough), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

I am not sure if you are aware, or if you're aware, then it makes sense; but the Roman Catholics have a history of terrorism that spans nearly 2000 years.


Catholic Numbers:

Let's put it this way. They claim there are 68,000,000 Roman Catholics in the USA. In a weighted average; they have performed 699,236.5 baptisms per since 1960. That equates to: 41,954,190. If we once again establish a weighted average for funerals, we arrive to 404,455 per year. which means 24,267,300 have since passed.This leaves 17,686,890 left. We then can subtract the 30 million that had since left; the 14 million that came into the U.S. as a foreigner, as well as the 4 million additional converts which equals: 5,686,890.


They claim they have 68,000,000 Roman Catholics in their population in the USA: They claim 17.3% of their population goes to church every week; add an additional 5.4% for the biweekly and monthly claims. That's 22.7%. That is 15,436,000 in their congregations per week. They have an average fire-code capacity limit of 240.12 per parish: surveys state that church goer attendance is 38%; meaning the Catholic Church would have a weekly attendance of 3,025,521. Which is believable' but doesn't fit with the claim from statistics that they are filling up only 20% of their capacities. 20% of their capacity is 1,592,379.792; which 22.7% is 1,807,351; if we perform the inverse of 38% to include church goers; we come to 4,190,473 and 4,756,186 respectively.


No matter the method used; I just performed the above from memory; it won't sound professional because I have more important thing to do.

4,082,975

4,756,540

4,222,510

5,170,000

5,360,736

_____________

5,686,890.


How can you say you're filling only twenty percent your parish, while having so many members that they just flocked to do whatever their captive does. Sorry. I fell asleep while typing. I think I made my point clear enough.


As far as the world wide population; the weighted average neared 12,320,000 or so were baptized per year; multiply by 60 years; 12,320,000 multiply by 60. It equals 739,200,000; and that is for most Christians by the way. Let's say no one has died for 90 years nor left the church. Multiply that by 90 and it is 1,108,800,000.

There is absolutely zero possible way for the Roman Catholics to ever have 1.3 billion; not sure what their year book is; but even if it had the name every member; the book with very large pages, and very small font would be over 4.3 million pages long. Oryzo (talk) 05:16, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

@Oryzo: This has got to be the funniest and least self-aware legal threat I have ever seen. Never seen someone accused of "terrorism" for disagreeing with someone a tad too confident in their TI-84. A shame we won't see more of you. ~ Pbritti (talk) 05:22, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

A note

Since we know each other from elsewhere, I wanted to keep it very straight-shooting with you without coming across as cross: please refrain from using phrases like "your editing is very aggressive" and "I get that you don't like this section" (particularly when an editor says they think said section could exist!) as these fail AGF standards. Other than that, I appreciate your efforts in returning to regular contribution to address the ever-growing AfD backlog. ~ Pbritti (talk) 04:39, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Your comments at WP:ANI

I think your recent comments are a bit unfair. I think the recipe for getting past my objections is quite simple: don't challenge WP:RS/AC (if there happens to be one) and use WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV for evangelical/traditionalist positions. tgeorgescu (talk) 23:29, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't think my comments are unfair at all. When have you actually actively included evangelical/traditionalist positions in articles? When have you mentored new contributors on how to do that instead of baiting them? Jahaza (talk) 23:31, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Not postnominals

Thanks for pointing out the the "Jr." and "Sr." after names in sports articles are college years, not postnominals. Wouldn't it be better to spell those out, "junior", "senior", etc., to avoid that obvious ambiguity? I did that in one, but then saw there's a lot, so I stopped. Dicklyon (talk) 18:27, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

I tend to agree that it might be better to spell them out, but I'm not an active maintainer of college sports article and I wouldn't want to presume on that community's consensus. Jahaza (talk) 18:44, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

I just went through the rest of my comma edits on articles with "ball" or "soccer" in the title, and reverted and otherwise fixed a bunch. Hopefully that finishes that category of error. Thanks for your help, and let me know if you see any more. Dicklyon (talk) 21:37, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

It seems that my "slow" edits are as error prone as my "fast" ones. Thanks for checking and fixing. Still got 150 or so to check/fix. Dicklyon (talk) 04:08, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Also, my slowness in fixing up things may be attributable to my Mom's funeral trip and my wife's resulting Covid. Life goes on, slowly. Dicklyon (talk) 04:29, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 05:28, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

@Elizium23, you should know better. First, WP:DTR, especially with a "welcome" template. Second, I wrote an edit summary that did "give a valid reason for the removal". Jahaza (talk) 05:32, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Elizium23 (talk) 05:40, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

You need to stop or this is going to be an issue. Jahaza (talk) 05:45, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

Green Door COI?

Hi! Am I missing a COI declaration somewhere? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 19:29, 2 January 2023 (UTC)


Woodrow Wilson

How is the statement "Wilson's administration escalated the discriminatory policies against African Americans." ungrammatical? Do you have any other sources that assert Wilson's policies of discrimination and exclusion escalated actions taken by T. Roosevelt and Taft? As I noted and cited in my edit, Roosevelt dined with Booker T. Washington shortly after taking office and stood up for African American federal employees. This appears to be a huge contrast with Wilson's actions and policies. As I noted, I don't think we should mislead readers. The assertion you restored is contradicted by sources such as this one which states and provides examples of how Wilson changed their policies. See also here.

Palackal

Hey, saw you were adding what material you could find on Joseph J. Palackal to that article (good work scrounging the ministerial stuff up) but I noticed you used the very deprecated term "Latin rite". As Latin rite is a redirect to Latin liturgical rites and "Latin rite" is not the canonical term for the Latin Church, try to stay away from using it outside of quotations or references to the liturgical rite. Additionally, Palackal becoming a parochial vicar isn't mentioned in the article you referenced (though I found a bulletin that does; I'll add it). ~ Pbritti (talk) 21:07, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

I added the bulletin and the diocesan newspaper. Jahaza (talk) 21:11, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
Excellent! Thank you! Interesting dude, looking forward to hearing more about him should his efforts succeed (barring more of the self-latinizing shenanigans doesn't get in the way). ~ Pbritti (talk) 21:19, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
Saw your edit and agree that there's probably merit to noting his ministry is in a Latin parish. Were we able to figure out if he's biritual? I would certainly assume it, but if we could source it, I think it would add some interesting color to his biography as someone simultaneously pushing for the resuscitation of the Syriac Christian tradition. ~ Pbritti (talk) 21:41, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

2023 Conflict of interest notice with Deerfield Academy

Hey @Jahaza, I know you have been an active editor in watching the page for Deerfield Academy, but many of your previous edits have been largely dedicated to promoting the reputation of the school, and we've had a discussion over such edits before. You might want to look over Wikipedia Conflict of interest policy, which prohibits editing related to yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships. You might also be familiar with WP:BOOSTER, which describes the possible Conflict of Interest arising from being an alumnus or affiliate of an educational institution, which in turn might lead to the additional of excessive and promotional material that is against WP:PROMOTION.

Do you have any connection with Deerfield Academy? Note that WP:COI covers financial relationships, so being donor or benefactor to an institution is a conflict of interest and falls under the policy. GuardianH (talk) 19:15, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Rude? I didn't mean to be, I've been honest and frank with you. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:57, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
@GuardianH you consistently misrepresent policy in your comments. Financial relationships such as being a donor (a word that does not appear on the page) are not, in fact, an absolute conflict of interest. Rather, "How close the relationship needs to be before it becomes a concern on Wikipedia is governed by common sense." Jahaza (talk) 22:53, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
Additionally, your comment, "many of your previous edits have been largely dedicated to promoting the reputation of the school" is a violation of WP:AGF. Jahaza (talk) 22:54, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
Its relevant because if you're an alumnus you have a material interest in the reputation of your alma mater, thats the heart of why you have a COI with the schools you've attended and related topics like your thesis advisor for higher level degrees. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:59, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
As far as I can tell, there is in fact no such policy regarding COI and schools one has attended.
It's a violation of AGF not because it wouldn't be relevant if "many of your previous edits have been largely dedicated to promoting the reputation of the school," but because it assumes bad faith by supposing that my edits have been "dedicated to promot[ion]," which they haven't. Jahaza (talk) 23:06, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
You are correct that they should have added "appear to" in between "edits" and "have" but you would appear to be deflecting. Do you or do you not have a COI in regards to the topic Deerfield Academy? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 23:08, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
I am in complaince with the actual COI policy. Jahaza (talk) 23:09, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
Would you like to see if the COI noticeboard agrees? Thats generally what is done when there's a disagreement on whether a COI is obvious. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 23:15, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
The noticeboard has actually taken the opposite position several times. But you using it as a threat is another example of the way your comments come off as very rude and agressive. Jahaza (talk) 23:20, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
Its not a threat, its what happens when a consensus can't be reached on a talk page. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 23:23, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
Yeah, it is a threat. If it wasn't, you'd just do it, you wouldn't threaten it. Jahaza (talk) 23:28, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
Its not a threat, why would I escalate until its clear that a consensus can't be reached on the talk page? We aren't there yet. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 23:30, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
You're done here. Take it to the noticeboard if you want, but I don't need you to post here anymore. Jahaza (talk) 23:35, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
Will do, noticeboard will be open within the hour. I will of course be required to post here when I do but otherwise I will stay away. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 23:37, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
And what of the possible COI which arrises from "being an alumnus or affiliate of an educational institution" or is being a donor your only relationship with the school? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:57, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
I don't know what you're quoting, but it's not a search string that appears on Wikipedia. Jahaza (talk) 23:07, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
Before today. Jahaza (talk) 23:08, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
Its in the OP. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 23:08, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
But it doesn't appear in any policy regarding COI or previous discussions. Jahaza (talk) 23:10, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
It was the question you were asked and WP:PROMOTION was linked. WP:BOOSTER was even included in case you needed an explainer. See in particular point four of WP:PROMOTION: "Self-promotion. It can be tempting to write about yourself or projects in which you have a strong personal involvement. However, remember that the standards for encyclopedic articles apply to such pages just like any other. This includes the requirement to maintain a neutral point of view, which can be difficult when writing about yourself or about projects close to you." Horse Eye's Back (talk) 23:15, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
Again, WP:BOOSTER is not a policy, my contributions don't fall afoul of WP:PROMOTION or WP:COI and being an alumnus is not per se a COI and therefore not something that has to be disclosed. If you want to establish such a policy, you will have to do it somewhere other than my talk page. Jahaza (talk) 23:19, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
Here's the problem though... If the failure to maintain a neutral point of view is so obvious that your undisclosed COI has been identified by multiple editors you've run afoul of WP:PROMOTION and WP:NPOV. Clearly you have some sort of extremely strong connection to the subject, whether that be employment, attendance, support, or something else. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 23:23, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
Or those (two) editors are just wrong about whether the edits violate NPOV. Jahaza (talk) 23:27, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
They could be, but you'd need to get consensus for that. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 23:29, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
There have been other editors involved. Jahaza (talk) 23:29, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
Who? They don't appear to have contributed to the current discussion. Is there a previous discussion about a potential COI between you and Deerfield Academy?Horse Eye's Back (talk) 23:31, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
That wasn't the question, which was whether the edits violated NPOV. Jahaza (talk) 23:35, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Invitation

Hello Jahaza, we need experienced volunteers.
  • New Page Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
  • Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.
  • Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, it basically boils down to checking CSD, notability, and title). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us.
  • If you would like to join the project and help out, please see the granting conditions. You can apply for the user-right HERE.
  • If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message at the reviewer's discussion board.
  • Cheers, and hope to see you around.

Hey Jahaza, Thanks for your message on the ANI thread about the West Side (San Francisco) article. It really helped to see someone actually refer to policy and point out the issues with how things were being removed.

Deletion Of Broda Amos Page

I didn't get what you mean by Independent source on the page. Can you please enlighten me more? Mccoy Jonas (talk) 21:19, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

Sources for articles need to be reliable and independent of the subject of the article. Sites like IMDB, which anyone can edit, or related Instagram, Youtube, or Medium pages generally won't meet that standard. You can read more at Wikipedia:Independent sources and Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Additionally, editors who have a conflict of interest regarding an article generally should refrain from editing it, such as if the article is about themselves, their family, their work (films, books, etc.), or if they are paid to edit an article. See WP:COI for more information. Jahaza (talk) 21:36, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

Church of the Annunciation (Minneapolis)

I see that you have experience creating articles. I was wondering what your thoughts are regarding notability. While WP:BLP1E only exists about BLPs, it seems like the same principle applies, as it seems the church is only known because of the shooting ([WP:NINI]]) and it should be merged over to the shooting itself. I am bringing it here as it seems you have long term experience and wanted to see what you were thinking first before I discussed it more broadly. TiggerJay (talk) 04:08, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

Thanks



I always forget the policy is to link fair use media from talk pages and just get into the habit of typing "[[File...", Rjjiii (talk) 02:40, 10 September 2025 (UTC)



URLs





"We" of course refers to regular editors of the Deaths lists, whether current or archived months/years. The reasoning behind use of the shortest possible URLs is in line with the same consensus adopted regarding full cite or simple cite sources - that the longer the wiki code is in a page, the longer it can take to load in browsers used by inferior device systems. Hence the Deaths project never uses full cite for references. If the use of the longer URL is an absolute rule and not just an option, then I fully intend not to revert any further edit to the page your bot visited. Thanks.

Unfortunately, no they are not appropriate. Whether they are of the form Lamar County High School or Lamar County High School, it's the same effect. Your reversion has re-introduced 54 links to primary websites for these schools. This is directly against WP:NOTLINKFARM.

Raoul Corriveau



Greetings. What is your source for the apparent Latin form of his full name? There does not appear to be any source for this online. If that is his full name in Latin then his name in French is probably "Joseph Real Raoul Corriveau" according to my research about this. The name "Real" (with an accent mark) is apparently a common French-Canadian middle name. I suggest that the Latin name needs to be properly referenced if it's going to be included in the article. Best wishes, Quizical (talk) 22:45, 31 December 2025 (UTC)



The source is linked at the end of the sentence with a properly formatted citation and has been since before you removed [the name]. Jahaza (talk) 23:01, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

I did not remove the citation. And any information inside brackets which is referenced should also include the citation for it inside the brackets, not at the end of a sentence, as per the MOS regarding this. Quizical (talk) 23:13, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

The point is that the citation is already in the article if you're willing to expend a little effort rather than rules lawyering. Jahaza (talk) 23:23, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi, you might remember Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/University of Sulaymaniyah, which resulted in me closing it as speedy keep within 2 hours. So I can get ideas of where to find refs, do you mind telling me where you found the refs for that article? Thanks! FantasticWikiUser(Ts and Cs) 16:33, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

Grounded in the Stars



There were 223 redlinked categories on today's run of Special:WantedCategories — which means that I do not have a responsibility to spend five to ten minutes investigating each individual redlink to figure out whether it's just a misspelled or misworded version of a category that actually does exist. If I spend five minutes on each category, then I can only deal with 12 categories in an hour, and if I spend ten minutes on each category, then I can only deal with six categories per hour, meaning it would take me between 18 and 36 hours to clean up the entire list — meaning I'd have no time left to do anything else. 



That's an amount of time nobody has any right to demand that any other editor has to put into a necessary but incredibly boring cleanup task. I'm entitled to get the list cleaned up in the shortest amount of time possible, and nobody has any right to demand that I make it my full time job.



So if I don't already know that the category is a misspelling of a category that I already know exists at another spelling just by sight alone, then it simply isn't my responsibility to spend five to ten minutes investigating it instead of simply removing it and moving on. Bearcat (talk) 05:01, 20 March 2026 (UTC)



You don't have any obligation to cleanup the list. Redlinked categories aren't a problem per se. Do it accurately. Besides, the whole point of *wanted* categories is that you may need to *create* a category, so that requires investigation. It's not just a list for removal.
