User page

Congratulations on your first archive! Regarding the redirect from your user page to your talk page, I hear your logic, but you're still the only one of thousands (millions?) of editors who doesn't have a user page. As you can see from my userpage, I don't write any biographical information, just a few userboxes and a list of articles I've created. At the very least, I'm sure you can find something in WP:userboxes to put on your user page. You could add a userbox that says you speak English, how many DYKs you have, how long you've been on Wikipedia, and so on. Best, Yoninah (talk) 19:22, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Papacristos.jpg

 

Thanks for uploading File:Papacristos.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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 21:21, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

WikiProject Christianity Newsletter April 2013

 

ICHTHUS

April 2013

Membership report
The parent Christianity WikiProject currently has 357 active members. We would like to welcome our newest members, Thomas Cranmer, Mr.Oglesby, and Sneha Priscilla. Thank you all for your interest in this effort. We would be able to achieve nothing here without the input of all of you. If any members, new or not, wish any assistance, they should feel free to leave a message at the Christianity noticeboard or with me or other individual editors to request it.


From the Editor

We apologise for the hiatus in the publication of this newsletter due to unforseen circumstances leading to the wikibreak of John Carter, and so I have taken over as acting editor, and have taken this opportunity to move the publication date to the start of each month as planned, to better reflect on the previous month and look ahead to the next. This issue covers the period of time from mid-January to the end of March.

Since the last issue we have seen the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI and the election of Pope Francis. This has received much coverage both in the world media and on Wikipedia. While there is still much work to do, several quality articles have been written and the editors involved are thanked for their efforts.


This month we look ahead to Easter and the celebration of God's love for mankind through the crucifixion and resurrection of his Son Jesus Christ. With that, I wish you all happy reading!

P.S. Please click here to add the new Christianity noticeboard to your watchlist to follow the latest discussions relevant to WikiProject Christianity and subprojects.

Church of the month

 

This image of the Church of Saint Ildefonso, Portugal by Poco a poco was recently promoted to Featured Image. Thank you and congratulations for the great image!


Contest of the month
No particular contest this month. I am however getting rather close to getting together a more or less complete set of articles relating to different areas of Christianity which can be found in recent reference sources on the broad topic of Christianity, and about various subtopics, which I hope to have finished in the next few weeks. I wonder what the rest of you might think of, maybe, making the contests of future months be basically directed at filling in the gaps of our existing coverage of topics, like those topics given significant coverage in specialized reference works which we don't yet have content on, and giving the thanks, and rewards, whatever they might be, to those who create and develop such content. I am starting a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Christianity noticeboard#Future contests, and would very much welcome any input from interested parties in how to set it up, determine winners including how many winners, etc.

Christian art

 

Complete recording

Jesus nahm zu sich die Zwölfe, BWV 22, a cantata by the German composer J.S. Bach, was promoted to GA this month and was written by Gerda Arendt. Many thanks for her continuing work in the area of early 18th Century Church music.

Spotlight

 

The Spotlight this month turns to the the Jesus work group. The scope of this project includes the life and teachings of the central figure of Christianity, Jesus Christ and aims to write about them in a non-denominational encylopædic style. Top-priority articles include Jesus, Christ, Resurrection of Jesus, and Holy Grail, whereas High-priority articles include Aramaic Language, a former FA, as well as Sermon on the Mount, Lamb of God, and Passion (Christianity). The workgroup has also published two books, covering Christ's final days and the Parables of Jesus. The workgroup has two GAs, Nativity scene, and Jesus in Islam, but unfortunately the flagship article, Jesus was delisted in 2009. It is also responsible for three WP:1.0 articles, and the WikiWork of the project is 4.56, which indicates the "average" article is between Start and C class.


By Gilderien


Calendar
This coming month (end-March through end-April) includes Easter Sunday in Western Christianity and both Lazarus Saturday and Palm Sunday for the Eastern Orthodox Church. Other major feasts in the next month include those of Saint George, Saint Mark the Evangelist, Saint Stanislaus, James, son of Zebedee, and Benedict the Moor.

Victor Maghakian

Hi Proudbolsahye. I just noticed that you reverted part of my edit to the article Victor Maghakian that removed the ribbons and service medals from the infobox, citing George S. Patton as an example that they are included. However, the Patton article does not actually include either the service medals nor ribbons in the infobox, only the notable decorations Patton received. Also, per Template:Infobox military person, the medals section of the infobox is exclusively for "any notable awards or decorations the person received". I have no reverted your edit, but thought I would post the above for discussion first. :) Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 02:15, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Proudbolsahye. Sorry for the delay in reply. No problem about Patton, it happens. :) In regards to Maghakian's infobox, the infobox is meant to be a quick summary of information about the person, containing only key information succinctly. The ribbon icons, in my opinion, detract from the information, serve to clutter the infobox and are not the correct place for them to be. I know you pointed out the case of the John Shalikashvili article, but I think the ribbons presented in such a way in the infobox in that case is unhelpful and a waste as most people will not know what each of the ribbons denote and will have to either hover over them or click on them to find out, which should not have to be the case: it should be presented just there. The article is the place where extensive information and detail is intended to be discussed, as you have done in Maghakian, but not too much information placed in the infobox. As for the service medals, as noted above the awards section of the infobox is only meant to relate the notable awards one received, and not service medals. Maghakian is notable for his awards of the Navy Cross, Silver Star, Bronze Star and Purple Heart (the ones that should most definitely be listed in the infobox). If he had just received the service medals like everyone else who had served in his unit or the same theatres of war that he did, then he would not actually be notable enough for inclusion here. I think you would be better off expanding the awards section of the article and keeping the infobox succinct. Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 02:26, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Deletion of reliably sourced material

Your edit [1] seems to delete reliably sourced material without proper reasoning. 14 words is not going to add "more info about its neolithic settlements than the current modern city." Cavann (talk) 00:02, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

You can't just add loads of material to an article whether it be sourced or not and expect it to be accepted by the Wikipedia community. At this point, the information you're attempting to add has been challenged not only as part of the lead but as in the article itself. I fully agree that neolithic settlement information should be placed in the article, but there needs a line to be drawn. If anything, that line should be established in the TP of Istanbul/Turkey. If you're not willing to open up a section in the TP of these articles, I will do it myself. Proudbolsahye (talk) 00:12, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
History of Istanbul has 1402 words. Adding 14 words is light years from "crossing the line." Cavann (talk) 00:21, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
And what does TP stand for? Cavann (talk) 00:27, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
Talk Page. Cavann, it is not just this single edit that you made which I believe brought you over the line, it is the continuous edits (additions) you made this past month of so. Basically, it is under the context of your much of your edits in the article that has provoked me to revert. But like I said, my TP isn't a place to talk about this. If you'd like we can move over to the TP of Istanbul and continue there. That way, we can sit and investigate the past additions and see if they conform to a general consensus.
Notice articles like London#Prehistory_and_antiquity, and remember that few editors cannot change the consensuses of general community (with respect to policies). I'm open to discussion, but you, Dr.K., and Athenean do not form a consensus, especially given your systematically converging positions in Turkey-related articles. Please keep in mind WP:NPOV principle. Cavann (talk) 01:08, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
Cavann, once again you are ignoring the fact that other third party editors were against your claims and edits. I never said my opinion was detrimental to your additions, I merely just said discussing your additions would be a better option than to unilaterally add hundreds of characters worth of information. Proudbolsahye (talk) 01:12, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
This is absurd. I have replied to your innuendo already at the article talk and now you come here to pester PB on the same issues. This is getting ridiculous. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 01:22, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
@Cavann: What about Alessandro, are his views "systematically convergent" as well? Should they similarly be discredited? After all, he opposed you both with respect to the Neolithic stuff and the economic predictions stuff. Is everyone who disagrees with you "systematically convergent"? Is that how you rationalize consensus against you? Btw, I'm glad you brought up London. Because even though it has considerable prehistory in the history section, it has nothing in the lede on prehistory. So it seems the problem is not "systematically convergent views" of others, but rather your own "wildly divergent views". Divergent from the wikipedia mainstream, whether it is including information about Neolithic fishing villages in the lead of Istanbul or predictions that Turkey's economy will be the fastest growing in the world through 2060. Athenean (talk) 01:44, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello! There is a DR/N request you may have interest in.

 

This message is being sent to you let you know of a discussion at the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute discussion you may have participated in.

Soykırım Haritası (genocide map in Turkish)

Merhaba. Sanırım ki siz İstanbullu Ermeni olarak Türkçe anlarsınız. I hope you can understand Turkish if you are Bolsahayer. ;)

Bu haritada bir sürü yanlıslıklar var sadece söylemek istedim. There are a lot of mistakes in the map.

Istanbul, Izmit, SIVAS, BITLIS, DIYARBAKIR, GIRESUN, Islahiye, ERZINCAN ve KAYSERI büyük İ ile yazılmalı yoksa yanlışça I oluyor. DİYARBAKIR mesela. You have to write those cities with a big İ in order to distinguish it from I, which is a complete different letter with a different pronounciation.

Adrianople Türkcede kullanılmadı. Edirne yeter. İzmir de yeter, Antakya da yeter.

Chanak değil Çanakkale.

MARASH değil MARAŞ.

Rasalayn değil Resülayn

ALEPPO değil HALEP

Der Zor değil Deyrizor

Alashkert değil Alaşkert

Parmaksiz değil Parmaksız

Zeitun değil Zeytun

Shabin değil Şabin.

Adiyaman değil Adıyaman

Ar-Raqqah değil Rakka

Khunasara değil Hunasara

Hasaka değil Hasiçi

Shaddadah değil Şaddada

Bunları düzeltirseniz memnun olurum. O zaman Türkler'de anlar. I wrote the right spelling in black. It would be good f you can correct them on the map. Then, Turks also can understand it. Teşşekürler / Thank you. ;) (P. S.: I am a Turk of the Alevi faith.

Evet. Ilk önce Türklerin mentalitesi değişmesi lağzim. Ama onlar mâlesef cook cok dinci ve milliyetci. Bu islamci durum değişmezse hic birşey olamaz. :/ Ermenilere (ve Pontuslulara Süryanilere) karşi yapilan adaletsizligi bende kiniyorum. Alevi olarak bende daha bize karşi adaletsizliği görüyorum. Bizde, sizin gittikten sonra, cinayetleri katliamlari gördük. Ama neyse. Sen Kaliforniyali veya Fransalimisin şimdilik?
Not: Kerküğü unutmuşsun. Kirkuk değil Kerkük olmasi lağzim.

Bagras Bakras olmalı
Jermuk Çermuk olmalı

Better source request for some of your uploads

Thanks for your uploads to Wikipedia. There is an issue with some of them, specifically:

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the images because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the images, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image files themselves. Please update the image descriptions with URLs that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 21:13, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Serganian1.jpg)

  Thanks for uploading File:Serganian1.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

The voting period is over; these pages are archived and you cannot just reset them. Also, removing the VoteEnds template is completely against the whole spirit of the nomination—you have nine days to get votes. If you want to renominate the image, go for it, but you have to start the process over again, and please don't remove the time template (it'll only be re-inserted). – Kerαunoςcopiagalaxies 19:25, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Armenian Genocide

Hi,

You have removed the section below which I had entered to Armenian genocide,

"Although, reports of Charles Blunt, British Consul to Ottoman Empire, dated 28th July 1860 about the living conditions of the Christians in Ottoman Empire stated Turks are obliged to serve in the army as well as being subject to same taxes as Christian subjects of the Ottoman Empire, excerpt from the report asfollows,

− "It may be with safety be asserted that the Christians are much better off than the Turks, for there is no drain upon the Christian population for troops, and Christian pay the same taxes on their produce.

− The Turkish villager is, without doubt, more frequently subject to oppression than the Christian.

− A further preponderant influence in favour of the Christian is that, if not all, the great majority, of the farmers of the tithes are Christians who commit incredible abuses in their mode of exacting the tithe on produce. It cannot be asserted that the collector is more mercifully disposed towards the Christian than the Mussulman, but he is less fearful of exposure when imposing on the Turkish proprietor, the Turkish therefore, is the greater sufferer" [1]"

You have given the reasons 1) Horrible English 2) This isn't about how Turks lived or how they compared to Armenians. 3) Stop adding 1,000+ characters without consensus My answers are, 1) Horrible English : It is not something I wrote but it is a telegram from British Consul in Ottoman Empire to London. And if there is any grammar mistake, you can suggest to correct the mistakes, not removing it. 2) This isn't about how Turks lived or how they compared to Armenians. : This section talks about how Armenians are treated in Ottoman Empire. And this document I reference to is about how they are treated, how other subjects of Ottoman Empire are treated. Therefore it is exactly about the topic. If you need any clarification, I will be happy to help. 3)Stop adding 1,000+ characters without consensus : What I have added is a official report of British Consul, not a comment from newspaper or someones own view. There can be consensus about false information but facts (which this report is) cannot be false (though contents are always subject to discussion.)

Please answer the points above, if you agree or disagree and please stick to Wikipedia rules before removing any referenced content.

  • I don't think you are understanding the main point that I am trying to make. The section is about Armenian life in the Ottoman Empire and therefore it does not mean that their lives or lifestyles should be compared with that of Turks or Muslims. Please read WP:RELEVANT and WP:COATRACK. The section does not intend on providing a comparative analysis of the way Armenians lived amongst their Muslim neighbors. Although it may or may not be true that Armenians lived better lives than Turks, this addition goes far beyond what the section intends to inform, even if the source is reliable or not. I will remove this information once again and advise you to stop edit warring over this addition. Proudbolsahye (talk) 03:45, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Thank you, then why haven't you removed completely the paragraphs above under the same topic which goes "There, the Armenians were subject to the whims of their Turkish and Kurdish neighbors, who would regularly overtax them..." and compares the living conditions of Armenians to others. Could you please explain more.
  • Another point, you have removed the same stuff second time, with comment "excessive material" what do you mean by that ? If there is some part not relevant, you may edit partially but you remove the complete entry I have made which is totally relevant to subject. Malizengin (talk) 05:45, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Soghomom Tehlirian monument Fresno, CA1.jpg

 

Thank you for uploading File:Soghomom Tehlirian monument Fresno, CA1.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 20:37, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

The hooks does not say former PM. Was it really relevant?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 21:23, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
Yes, it is more hooky, but I am afraid it might be also misleading?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 21:32, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for clarification. I actually did misidentified this event with Armenian genocide. Sorry. I will continue with the review tomorrow. All the best.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 23:02, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
I continued with my review and I believe better sources are necessary for an exceptional claim presented in the hook. Please see this comment of mine. The article you wrote is very interesting and I am grateful to you because I learned something new, interesting and important. Since this event is indeed very important and connected with massacre of thousands of people, it is important to pay additional care about every assertion. --Antidiskriminator (talk) 07:07, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
Yes, I think that adding "alleged" would resolve the issue. What do you think about addition of "in 1920"?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 07:18, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
OK.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 07:33, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
