Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Google Doodle, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Go. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

GA review of Saturnalia

edit

Hi, the bot seems to have failed to notify you, so I'll do it. I've begun the GA review of Saturnalia; in the main the article is clearly of good quality, but I've noticed a few issues that will need your attention. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:19, 13 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

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).

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Trump

edit

Hi CrumpledFire, I notice that you reverted my edit at the Donald Trump article. The reason I put in that stuff is because the RFC at the talk page is obviously headed toward putting into the lead that Trump has said many "false" things, and I didn't want that to go into the lead without any attribution or context or explanation. I don't think "false" should go into the lead at all, but it will be going in anyway, and I wanted to at least reduce the damage to the lead. I hope this explanation helps, and maybe you will reconsider your revert. Sincerely, Anythingyouwant (talk) 19:26, 4 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Anythingyouwant:, I also am in agreement that "false" should not go into the lede, but the RFC hasn't ended yet (thanks to the fact that the premature close was rightly reverted), and I've added my own oppose comments just now. If it does end up with that wording, at that point we can and should discuss adding qualification in the vein of what you've suggested, but for now I think it's undue weight without the "false" yet being there, and we should wait to see what that outcome is. — Crumpled Firecontribs 20:02, 4 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Date format

edit

Thanks for arguing cogently for the date format change. Another reason the truncated format is bad is that you can not find it in a text search. If I am searching for an event that occurred in "2009" I will not find it, if it is formatted as "2000-09", and as you pointed out in Europe that is "September 2000". --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 16:00, 12 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ): Yep, I was growing quite tired of seeing that format everywhere, since every time I did it took me off guard because it looked so unprofessional and ambiguous. I'm glad the community as a whole was able to come to a satisfying resolution. Thanks for the recognition, cheers — Crumpled Firecontribs 23:49, 12 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
It is hard for people to give up their paper derived conventions. Some early biographical summaries like New York state's black book from the early 1900s are so condensed, I still can't figure out some of the shorthand that they used to save space, double the confusion when you find one in another language. We have to have Wikipedia understandable far into the future. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 00:05, 13 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
I echo Richard; it's definitely better to have full years. Two digits also can be vague in terms of century. Snuggums (talk / edits) 04:27, 6 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

BC or BCE on Geneses Creation Narrative

edit

I'm pretty sure the era would have been BCE - I was the one who did the big rewrite, and I always use BCE out of respect to our Jewish readers. I'm not sure when the rewrite was, but after 2010. If you have the energy and interest, could you look back through the archives and see what the history is? PiCo (talk) 11:27, 13 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

@PiCo: Even in doing a massive rewrite, you can't change the era without first bringing it to the talk page and attaining consensus, per WP:ERA. There's nothing in that guideline that permits changing the era style on the sole basis of making a large addition to an article. Just like you can't change American English to British English just because you do a revamp of the article color. — Crumpled Firecontribs 11:31, 13 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
The rewrite was years ago. It's been BCE ever since. I imagine the user you mentioned (Isambard Kingdom?) was simply restoring the usage.PiCo (talk) 11:42, 13 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
The latest talk page consensus was for BC in 2010, there's been no discussion of it since. So, any change from that point was not in accordance with the WP:ERA guideline. Plus, I'm going through random diffs in 2014/2013/2012 and BC still remained in place. If you wish to have the era changed, the policy dictates that you attain talk page consensus first. And so far, if Isambard Kingdom joins the discussion, you're winning 2 to 1. — Crumpled Firecontribs 11:52, 13 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Antoinette Perry (politician)

edit
 

The article Antoinette Perry (politician) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.
