Kosovo Air Force again

I just saw this on my watchlist. What do you think, could this be our old friend? - ZLEA _T\^C 18:49, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

@ZLEA: Looks like classic quacking. ~ Pbritti (talk) 04:42, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

I've brought it up here. - ZLEA _T\^C 14:55, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Difference?

What's the difference between one talk page section on missing material, and my own? Usually I sprinkle "The Article would be improved if..." throughout my suggestion but this time I assumed it went without saying. (Article on SBC "Talk" page that you just reverted.)2603:8081:3A00:30DF:64B9:F991:7457:CF8D (talk) 02:24, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Your contribution read as a question about the denomination's stance. While your comments here on my talk page clarify that you meant to suggest Wikipedia should mention those stances, you didn't indicate that. Often, people post comments wholly unrelated to improving articles to talk pages about religious groups to ask about their beliefs. I encourage you to do some research on the subject of SBC stances towards Judaism and to return to the article or talk page. ~ Pbritti (talk) 02:56, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Licorici of Winchester

Hi, I see you have deleted a couple of references to a new book about the above lady. Not sure why. The book appears to be a reputable publication and is freely available on Amazon. Regards Murgatroyd49 (talk) 14:23, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

@Murgatroyd49: On its face, the book looks reliable. However, the book's author is a creative writer with little to no peer-reviewed history writing. The book itself is not peer-reviewed and was published by a non-academic printing house. The article on the Tower of London is an FA and the one on Westminster Abbey is a GA, so there is a higher standard for sourcing required. If you need further explanation, feel welcome to ask! ~ Pbritti (talk) 14:35, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, I just wondered as, on the face of it, the reference seemed OK Murgatroyd49 (talk) 14:41, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

A pie for you!

I just wanted to stop by with some pie, and to say that altho the Piñon AfD didn't go in the direction you thought it should, I'd like you to know that I appreciate how thoughtful and civil you were throughout the discussion. I respect your work here on WP, and am grateful for the manner in which you communicate. Would you mind if I went ahead and moved it to Piñon, Colorado? I don't want to step on anyones toes! With best regards from a fellow editor, Netherzone (talk) 03:33, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

@Netherzone: I am a tad upset, as you beat me to the punch! I had wanted to award you a mark for your incredible research. The admin who formalized my withdrawal moved the page from Piñon, Colorado as a standard bureaucratic move—I'm fully on board with you moving it back! I'm glad a subject-matter expert like you lent your eye to the process! ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:48, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

The research was enjoyable and interesting to do. I understood your rationales during the discussion even though we agreed to disagree. In the next day or two I'll look back over the AfD to see if there are others to consult before moving the article. BTW, I was hoping to send a you peach pie since the very best peaches in the world are from Colorado, but it isn't quite that season yet. Netherzone (talk) 03:57, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

@Netherzone: I am quite a fan of my homestate's produce! If you want, you can open a move discussion on the talk page, as there's no rush. I'll gladly offer my support to whatever your desired next step is. If you ever need any help with Summit County, Denver, or Sangre de Cristo content, I have a lot of experience in those areas! Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 04:06, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Rite of Lyon

Hello, this seems to be up your alley and is in desperate need of more information. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rite_of_Lyon. It was translated from the French article, so there may be some grammatical errors; which, I am trying to clean up. LambdaLover (talk) 02:18, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

@LambdaLover: I'll try to fix it up a bit. Unfortunately, I fear me cleaning it may have to wait until around October, as I've somewhat scheduled through then. If you need access to certain sources, I possess a few that may be relevant and would love to share them as needed. ~ Pbritti (talk) 02:30, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

It would be nice if you could share your sources, for both personal interest and the purpose of cleaning up this page. LambdaLover (talk) 16:50, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Some painted tiles for you!

I wish you a good feast of St Alban, St John Fisher, and St Thomas More. Ascensiontide is long past, but I took a beautiful picture of the painted tiles at All Saints, Margaret Street, which also happens to be an article I am working on. Sts Fisher & More are included in the prayers today. So do pray for your anglo-kins; we pray for you! Cheers, --The Lonely Pather (talk) 14:53, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

@TheLonelyPather: Lovely tiling! Let me know if you need any help on the article. Happy feast of my patron, St. John the Baptist! ~ Pbritti (talk) 15:07, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

DYK for Flemish bond

You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Flemish bond), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

SCOOCH and the recent edit

Hello there. I had seen your welcome message: thank you! Hope this is the right place to ask this, but may I kindly ask what was the reason for reverting the edit on the Oriental Orthodox Churches page? I noticed that SCOOCH was referred to as the “standing conference” of the OO Communion (while it is merely a regional conference), and that almost the same list of churches are repeated again: hence the edit. Thank you. Hypatiusbrontes (talk) 13:07, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

@Hypatiusbrontes: First off, welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for commenting here; the other appropriate place would have been the article's talk page. Upon review of that edit, I think my reversion could probably be undone. Your explanation here is clear and I now agree with your decision to remove that content. Thanks for your politeness! ~ Pbritti (talk) 13:18, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

I am sorry if this was the wrong place: in further instances, I will make sure to discuss such matters in the talk-page of the article itself. Thank you for your re-consideration: I will re-add the edit. Again, thanks, and have a nice day! Hypatiusbrontes (talk) 13:27, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Another possible DYK

"...that four of the twenty-six Chief of Chaplains of the United States Army - Patrick J. Ryan, Francis L. Sampson, Patrick J. Hessian, and Donald W. Shea - were graduates of Saint Paul Seminary in Saint Paul, Minnesota?" ~Darth Stabro^{Talk/Contribs} 23:59, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

@Darth Stabro: I don't think any of these articles are less than a old, expanded at least five-fold during the last week, or recently promoted as good articles. Sadly, that means they don't qualify for DYK. ~ Pbritti (talk) 00:02, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Ah, shoot. I didn't realize that was a requirement. ~Darth Stabro^{Talk/Contribs} 00:15, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

@Darth Stabro: No problem. Thanks for the interest—will look into if those articles can get some overhauls. ~ Pbritti (talk) 01:43, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Shameful

At Special:Diff/1232130137 you describe my actions as "shameful". I'd remind you of WP:AGF and WP:NPA. TarnishedPath^talk 03:22, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

@TarnishedPath: Your actions are shameful. Denialism of arson targeting Indigenous people and their places of worship—even if due to truly righteous rage—has no place on Wikipedia. ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:27, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Please show me exactly where I engaged in "denialism of arson targeting Indigenous people". TarnishedPath^talk 03:30, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Here. ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:32, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

I wrote "seeking to lump together the arsons of a group of churches to particular prior events on the basis of speculation only". Clearly there is no denial of any arsons. I specifically refer to them as arsons. Are you going to withdraw your aspersion casting? TarnishedPath^talk 03:46, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

TarnishedPath, you engaged in a bad-faith AfD. Much to your credit (indeed, the mark of a very good editor), you very quickly withdrew it upon being challenged on that decision. In the spirit of reconciliation, I retract my statement. ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:52, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
