Hello, you may want to give your opinion here.--Ccrazymann (talk) 13:31, 13 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hello! I am currently working on the "Swedish Project" and "Award and Prizes"'s article Nobel Prize. Since it is a top importance article and not even GA class I am trying to make it a GA article and perhaps further after that. However, I'm in a state now where I could use some help. I need a new pair (several pairs in fact) of eyes to look at the article and the talk page for improving prose, debation of different things and some sourcing. Do you got any possibility to help out?

Unreferenced BLPs edit

  Hello Dentren! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 943 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Hello Dentren. Here's an invitation. edit

Dentren, you are hereby cordially invited to express your opinions and concerns in regards to User:Erebedhel in the following RFC article: Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Erebedhel. This is not meant to influence your opinion in any particular way whatsoever. You are free to agree with my statement by adding your name in the "Users certifying the basis for this dispute", just as you are free to not agree and not sign anything. Moreover, you can also provide an outside view and provide more information in regards to your situation with Erebedhel or your simple views on the matter in regards to this editor. However, be reminded that this RFC will not continue unless it gets two signatures that certify the situation as a problem. Best regards.--MarshalN20 | Talk 01:00, 31 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your comment edit

Hello Dentren I just wanted you to know that, as I told you before, I consider you a very valuable wikipedian. I was reading your comment on the RfC and I'll take into consideration your advice, regardless that on ANI Marshal was adviced not to continue with it because the case is already on formal mediation so it won't go anywhere else (besides some requisites weren't fulfilled during the 48 hours). However I believe that because of the lengthy threaded discussions of the past, my observations weren't clear and were mistaken with a false political view, which I found highly disappointing since the beginning because most of the anthropological studies that I have been studying over the past months were nullified by mixing them with politics. Perhaps you'd like to read some of them and compare them with the current sources in the article:

  • Max Harris [2]
  • Jennifer Heath [3]
  • Jordi Rius i Mercade from the Ball de diables board in Spain [4]
  • Enrique Cuentas Ormachea pp-35-36 [5]
  • The 107 pages study in which the UNESCO declaration is based [6]

And many more, I was always against using newspapers as sources and base my opinions on what I saw on TV when serious studies are available, I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression. However our agreement was that I'd work on my workshop and MarshalN20 on his and wait till the mediator can have some time or in a couple of weeks we'd try to discuss things calmly on the talk page with two versions available. Of course you're invited to follow the development of the events. Best regards. Erebedhel - Talk 07:07, 7 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Sopaipilla edit

Dentren, I will do my best to find sources in regards to the Sopaipilla in South America. I have never eaten one, but the food looks tasty enough to defend. Also, if you happen to have some free time, perhaps you might be interested in providing a bit of your opinion on this discussion regarding the Diablada (Yes, I still can't believe there's still an argument over the article): [8]. I will now go on to the Sopaipilla research (I'm guessing my best bet is to find it in regards to Argentina and Chile?).--MarshalN20 | Talk 16:15, 20 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Puyehue-Cordón Caulle review edit

I am stuck at home sick this weekend, so (looking on the bright side) I now have time to review the article! I have started with the lede.

I believe that you are Chilean (or at least that your first language is Spanish). The article looks good as far as content, and the writing is generally good, but I've come across some things that might be lost in translation. I read Spanish reasonably well, so I wanted to let you know that you can feel free to explain what you were trying to say in these cases in Spanish. I have the advantage of being a native English speaker, so as long as my Spanish holds up, I should be able to parse it well in English.

Awickert (talk) 22:45, 22 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your help. I wil write in spanish if its nessesary or give the quotes of scientific publications cited in the article. Dentren | Talk 22:21, 23 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
OK - great. I should have access to most scientific articles anyway, but I could definitely be missing some. Awickert (talk) 18:01, 24 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Armando or Amando edit

Hi Dentren,

There is person-related article titled Rodolfo Armando Philippi, but if you take a look at Harvard Herbarium's Botanist Index, and also IPNI's botanist search engine, the middle name of the individual under the standard botanist abbreviation for Phil. is "Amando". Neither database calles him Armando anywhere on their respective pages. I wanted to move it over to Rodolfo Amando Philippi, but noticed that that's already a redir to "Armando" (which could be merely because the former is a common misspelling). The article has been around for a long time, with many other-language wikis attached to it, so I thought it best to leave it alone until I learned more. Do you know if this name is acceptable, and could the above databases be inaccurate? Judging from the fact that you've added some biographical information to the article in question, and the Chile-related articles you're associated with here on this talk page, it seems you're the right person to consult for this. I'll watch here for a reply. Thanks, Hamamelis (talk) 04:56, 14 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

I would guess that the name "Armando" was put there by a Spanish speaking user since Armando is much more common in Spanish than Amando. After looking around in the websites like "Memoria chilena" and "Revista chilena de historia natural" Amando seems to be the correct second name. A move request should be done. Dentren | Talk 15:57, 14 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, The move has been requested. Hamamelis (talk) 23:21, 14 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
Hi, looks like we both reqed the move. Oh well, hopefully it will just get the grease more swiftly! Hamamelis (talk) 23:52, 14 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I moved the page as requested at WP:RM but just wanted you both to know that any autoconfirmed editor can move a page over a redirect if there has been only one edit at the redirect. It's only when there are two or more edits that an admin has to get involved. Just for future reference. Best, Station1 (talk) 00:23, 15 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Maritime Fur Trade edit

Hi, I noticed you added a {{globalize}} tag to the Maritime Fur Trade page. I don't understand what is needed though. The page seems quite global already. If you could explain what you feel is missing on its talk page it would help. Thanks. Pfly (talk) 18:43, 8 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Ok, thanks. But as the page points out in the first sentence, "The Maritime Fur Trade was a ship-based fur trade system that focused on acquiring furs of sea otters and other animals from the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast and natives of Alaska." Later in the lead it says "The term "maritime fur trade" was coined by historians to distinguish the coastal, ship-based fur trade from the continental, land-based fur trade [of North America]". There are plenty of sources that define "Maritime Fur Trade" this way, and are used on the page. In fact, that is why I capitalized the term, instead of naming the page "maritime fur trade" (although I sometimes wrote the term in lower case--if it would make more sense to always use caps that can be done). It's a proper noun about a specific historic era in a specific region. Also, the page describes the non-Anglosphere aspects of the trade--in China and Russia mainly--in detail. Pfly (talk) 19:12, 8 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hello Dentren: Your user page [[User:Dentren/Template_Test]] may be in violation of WP:USERNOCAT. The Category that it appears in, Category:Periods with timeline in infobox, appears to be a maintenance category, so it seems reasonable to allow user pages to appear in the category while development of a page is proceeding. Your user page in question does not seem to be in active development. Do you think you should comment out the code that is putting this page into a category, or bracket it with <nowiki> </nowiki>?

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

An image better than no image? edit

I saw you have removed from images from articles on regions of Chile. Even if an image isn't "representative", isn't some image better than no image at all? Jason Quinn (talk) 22:24, 15 February 2011 (UTC)Reply


1. having a spectacular Andean landscape in the infobox of each region does not give the used the information he is searching for, which are quick facts and at most a collage of urban and rural landscapes.
2. From an aesthetic point of view these lanscape images gives an amateurish self-promotianal touristy look to the page. We should be aware that wikipedia is sometimes used by companies or isolated users to promote the atraxctives of their regions.
3. Having these images on the geography section of each region would be a better idea.
Dentren | Talk 08:05, 16 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Would you agree or disagree that your changes are a matter of personal taste rather than policy or guidelines? The most relevant content guideline for photos seems to be Wikipedia:Images#Image_choice_and_placement. I admit I have not searched exhaustively for other pages that might support removal. If you know of them, please post links. The wording on "choice and placement" is rather loose — I'm sure that's on purpose — but I do not see any guidelines that directly supports removal for being "non-representative". Relevance is the more general concept. Certainly the removed photos are relevant. Representative, however, is a more stringent criteria. I understand your points of view listed above but I am not sure that removing them is the best option. I think the better option is to keep the photos and if and when "more representative" photos appear, switch to them. A photo almost always adds to an article in my opinion. Certainly the posters of the photos thought so too. Now it's a matter of which difference of opinion is more popular. Jason Quinn (talk) 16:18, 22 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Would you agree on moving the images to a geography section of each article? The infobox is one of the most most important part of each each article, people use the infobox to get quick and reliable facts not to get an amazing view of a volcano. A volcano or mountain says very little about an administrative region dont you agree? Dentren | Talk 16:01, 23 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
I lean towards the position that having a picture is better than no picture. I think a picture helps grab and maintain the reader's attention and interest. I have not committed myself to that position. I understand your points. My contention is that a volcano or mountain is still part of that region — administrative or not — and gives the reader a zeroth-order understanding of the look and feel of that region. If and when a better photo appears in the Commons, that can replace a less representative photo. Jason Quinn (talk) 14:03, 25 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
