Henry Wilde

edit

Cleanup tags such as the one you placed on Henry Wilde are perfectly useless if the cleanup required is not obvious. Generally, I remove them if I cannot see anything to clean up, but as the author of this article I have not done so in this case as that might be perceived as a bit WP:OWNish. Please take the trouble to state the problems on the talk page or else tag individually the items you think require attention, or, if you have just made a mistake, remove the tag. SpinningSpark 10:00, 13 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

That's ridiculous, how can someone who has been on Wikipedia since 2003 with nearly 1,000 edits not know how to remove a template? You just delete it in a normal edit (the template is the text between double curly braces). SpinningSpark 15:23, 13 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Inclusion/Exclusion from Article

edit

Greetings, I am C.Kent87... If you don't mind, I'd like to ask for some help in an area you may know something about. Perhaps you can give your 2 cents to a discussion I'm involved in? Or let another know about the dispute?

In the article Castle, they have removed reference to Chapultepec Castle in the small section 'Later use and revival castles' (It has been there for two years), for various (slightly unclear) reasons. The first comment after its deletion was left on my page, here. Also, you can see the other "reasoning" for its removal at Talk:Castle/Section, which I'm involved in. The opposition goes as far as comparing Chapultepec with this "castle" [1]...

First, it was only that there wasn't an explicit source stating it as "revival castle' (User:Nev1 wanted no less than for it to state in exact terms its existence as such), but now they just don't think it warrants a mention. One user doesn't want it as a part of the article at all because "already it has an article of its own" - As if the other castles do not (?). Another 'doesn't see my argument".

Technicalities are thrown everywhere, but I believe enough information for its inclusion exists. Chapultepec Castle is just as much a revival castle as those listed from England - yet they seem to overlook that, perhaps because it is in Mexico...? The time period, etc. all point to the reality of Chapultepec being a revival castle. As a matter of fact, it was the only North American castle used to house a sovereign- the only one with that designation.

I had hoped to bring to the reader's attention the fact that these structures do not only exist in Europe, but the influence of castle revivalism reached into other countries as well. Anything you could do to help would be great. Thank you. C.Kent87 (talk) 04:33, 13 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the reply, actually I thought maybe you would agree with its inclusion in the article and make a remark on the talk page? There are two against it, but not many joining the discussion. If you have no interest, that is fine too. Thank you for taking time to read. C.Kent87 (talk) 04:22, 16 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
That would be great! It's upsetting because there is one user who insists that it shouldn't be mentioned - yet many British revival castles are, and one German (Which shares a common architect w/ Chapultepec). It should be mentioned so that the sphere of influence is better documented. Thank you for your help. C.Kent87 (talk) 19:24, 16 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi!

The Danube by Esztergom picture was taken from the top of the cathedral facing southwest: [2] The white building is the Archbishop's Palace, and the watertown church (Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola). Slovakia is on the top right.

The Danube by Visegrád was taken from halfway up the castle facing west. That huge bay you see was supposed to be part of the Bős-Nagymaros Dam, but the project was abandoned. Villy (talk) 11:03, 7 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Increased permission requested

edit

{{adminhelp}}

I am requesting the increase of editing scope to include minor additions to semi protected articles. In this particular case, I wanted to add the category 'Psychiatric illnesses' to the article about Suicide.

Prior to my current activity on Wikisource, where I am extensively editing the Popular Science Monthly Project, I was very active here for a number of years will continue to be so.

In Wikisource, in addition to general proofreading, select proofread articles from the project will be recommended by academics to medical students interested in the history of the sciences in the 19th century. I am doing extensive categorization and interlinking of articles back to Wikipedia for additional reference to relevant topics, as well as related images uploaded to the Commons. Ineuw (talk) 17:45, 29 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

You should be able to edit semi-protected pages at present, as far as I can see. What happens when you try to edit suicide? Algebraist 17:49, 29 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
Concur with above. Suicide is only semi-protected, so any WP:Autoconfirmed account should be able to edit it, which only means four days old and more than ten edits. Your account is (to put it mildly) well past those thresholds. What problem do you encounter when you try to edit Suicide?
Something to check: click "My preferences" at the top of the screen. Under "User profile", in the "Basic information" box, what does it say in the line "Member of groups"? JohnCD (talk) 18:42, 29 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, it worked now. I added the necessary category. How can I avoid such issues in the future, after all I am very active on Wikisource, editing about 3,000 per month and constantly referencing, or updating categories in Wikipedia. Ineuw (talk) 18:52, 29 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
There shouldn't be any problem, I don't understand why there was - I didn't do anything just now to clear one. I asked about the "Member of groups" line because your account is actually so old that I thought maybe it had never got automatically marked as "autoconfirmed" - as long as "Autoconfirmed users" appears on the "Member of groups" line, you should have no problem editing semi-protected pages. JohnCD (talk) 19:01, 29 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
So many thanks. This is about being old. :-) I just saw the warning, so I thought that it won't let me do anything, and began this post. Afterwards, I tried it again and it's fine. Ineuw (talk) 19:34, 29 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Adding info from a web article

edit
 
This help request has been answered. If you need more help, please place a new {{help me}} request on this page followed by your questions, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page.

I would like to add information to the Robert S. Allen page from this article, written by Thomas E. Ricks. Never having done something like this, I don't know what the rules are about referencing a web article, and its incorporation. I would much appreciate if someone would point me to any relevant example which I can study. For the purposes of this post, please ignore my note about Wikisource as I monitor Wikipedia regularly. Thanks. Ineuw talk page on English Wikisource 06:35, 2 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi Ineuw. That does look like interesting information to add to the article. The best way to incorporate the article would be to summarize the claim it makes, then cite the article using the {{template:Cite news}} template inline next to it.
For example, you could add:
"According to John Earl Haynes, Harvey Klehr and Alexander Vassiliev in their 2009 book ''Spies: the rise and fall of the KGB in America'', Allen had done x, y, and z.<ref>{{cite news |title=Patton's Third Army deputy intel officer briefly was on the KGB's payroll |first=Thomas E |last=Ricks |newspaper=Foreign Policy |date=1 December 2010 |url=http://ricks.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2010/12/01/pattons_third_army_deputy_intel_officer_briefly_was_on_the_kgbs_payroll |accessdate=2 December 2010}}</ref>". (I took the blank citation template from Template:Cite news and populated the fields myself.)
Then, if you add a {{reflist}} tag at the bottom of the article under the References section heading, the reference will show up in that section, linked from a footnote number automatically generated next to the sentence in the text.
Does that answer your question? Gonzonoir (talk) 09:00, 2 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

It certainly does - Many thanks.! Ineuw talk page on English Wikisource 09:02, 2 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Re. login;

Ineuw, sometimes strange glitches happen. So if you have not already, please could you try the following;

  • Clearing the 'cookies' on your browser
  • Doing a full reboot (power off and on).
  • Check your account is unified, with Special:MergeAccount

If you are still getting problems after trying that, please could you use a new {{helpme}} - and please give as many details as possible - ie operating system, version, when the problem first happened, does it occur if you visit other wiki such as German Wikipedia, wikibooks:Main_Page, and Wiktionary.

Also, if you have another browser, it would be helpful if you could try that, to tell us if the problem is specific to one browser.

If you are still having troubles, please do reinstate the helpme. I'll just remove it for now, whilst we wait for your response. Thanks,  Chzz  ►  14:23, 24 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

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

edit

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). 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 you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). 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) 18:41, 15 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

List of assassins and WP:BLP

As a reminder, when you add potentially controversial content about a living person (such as naming them an assassin) you need to provide a reliable source to support that claim, even if the claim is not the article specifically about that person.

Invitation

Hello!

Since your are listed in the participants of the WikiProject Hungary, it looks like you might be interested in articles related to Hungary and the Hungarians. Currently, the WikiProject Hungary is quite down with only a very limited active users, but I'd like to add some new impulse to it. So, I would like to invite you to take a look at this proposal, share your opinion and join a task force if you think you might be interested in it. If there are five or more applicants for a task force, it can be set up and by a cooperation of dedicated users we can further develop the task force related articles – at least give a boost to this small part of the project –, the task force itself and by so probably the whole WikiProject Hungary as well. If you have questions, ideas or thoughts you can add them on the talkpage of the proposal, here (I watchlsit your talkpage) or you can contact me directly on my talk page. Your words are very welcomed!

Duplicated image removal.

edit

This Category:Copy to Wikimedia Commons reviewed by a human contains numerous images already transferred. Is there a way to have these cleaned up to indicate that they are only on the Commons? — Ineuw talk 04:12, 4 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Images already transferred to the Commons can be deleted locally via the F8 speedy deletion criterion. Since deleted pages are no longer categorized, that will empty the category as well. Huon (talk) 13:38, 4 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
This doesn't answer my question. Information provided by Huon is available on the image's page. But it doesn't answer the question, how to process the deletion. Can I delete the image which meets the criteria listed in F8? If not, how does a use go about having an image deleted? — Ineuw talk 17:14, 4 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
No! you cannot delete images by yourself until you have administrative right but you can always request for deletion by placing suitable CSD tag from Wikipedia:CSD#Files on the top of the image page which you want to be delete. CutestPenguin {talkcontribs} 17:33, 4 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
The relevant speedy deletion template to be added to the file page is {{db-f8}}. That will let admins know that the file should be deleted. Huon (talk) 18:06, 4 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
Thank you. However the file transfer process already added the {{now commons}} template which seems to be identical to {{db-f8}}. Please see my last move: File:1877_Santa_Monica_Pier.jpg. My concern is more about images that were moved by others some time ago, and just sit there tagged and not attended to. — Ineuw talk 19:46, 4 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
That page was deleted on Wikipedia by Ronhjones an hour after you tagged it. It's no longer contained in any categories on Wikipedia. Since the admins performing the deletions are volunteers too, you can't really expect much faster restults. As an aside, it appears the file transfer process not only added {{now commons}} but also removed {{Copy to Commons}}, thereby removing the page from Category:Copy to Wikimedia Commons reviewed by a human. Huon (talk) 21:45, 4 August 2014 (UTC)Reply
My apologies, I am used to clicking on Wikipedia images displayed in an article, which immediately connects me to the commons page where the image is stored. That's what I was looking for.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Shoshone, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bannock. 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.

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.

I completed the translation of this article from Spanish Wikipedia, and would like to create the main namespace page. However, I haven't created an article here in about eight years, and I am not sure if there is anything else needs to be added for the initial display? — Ineuw talk 07:47, 13 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Your first article might help. First thing I noticed is that the article is unsourced. Dat GuyTalkContribs 16:36, 13 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Ways to improve Léonie d’Aunet

edit

Hi, I'm Boleyn. Ineuw, thanks for creating Léonie d’Aunet!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This has been tagged for 2 issues.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Join date errors

  • Wikipedia Global list - 2009-05-05T22:46:44
  • My Wikipedia Preferences - Registration time:2003-04-18T00:00:48

Looked through my Global list of sites' contributions and noticed that my join date for English Wikipedia is 2009-05-05 when in fact I joined on 2003-04-18. There may be several other dates listed for other sites that are off by a couple of years. Can someone responsible for managing the list apply accurate info. Thanks. — Ineuw talk 01:09, 4 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

You have lived through any number of database changes that have occurred over the life of Wikipedia, so you should be aware that the Global List is just recording (as an initial date) when the already-existing users were registered into the new database. As an example, DavidWBrooks, another veteran editor, is also shown as enrolled in en-wiki by the Global List at the same time and date as you. This method of handling users who already existed would seem to be a choice made by the WMF software people at the time, so I'd consider it intentional rather than a mistake that can easily be corrected. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 02:18, 4 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages

edit

Thank you for your recent articles, including Léonie d’Aunet, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:04, 4 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Autokey logos

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Category:Autokey logos requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

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. Liz Read!
