Piped links for West and East Eurasians edit

Hi! Thanks for your edits in various articles dealing with the genomic history of OoA populations. I have a little problem with the piped links in [[Genetic history of Europe|West-Eurasians]] and [[Genetic history of East Asians|East-Eurasians]]. I understand your intentions, but the target pages are of too narrow a scope. Much of West Eurasian ancestry is missing if our readers only learn about Europe, but not Northern Africa and West, Central and South Asia. Same with East Eurasian ancestry which also extends into South Asia and Oceania. – Austronesier (talk) 16:27, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Oh. I linked these pages to those articles because it was the only pages that really mentioned a Western Eurasian meta-population or Eastern Eurasian meta-population. The genetic history of Europe article mentions how they are related to Central and West Asian populations, and the genetic history of East Asians article goes into detail about relationships to South Asians and Oceanians which would basically serve its purpose as an East Eurasian article to learn about East Eurasians as a whole.
I do admit the genetic history of Europe article is lacking in information but it's the closest thing to an article that tells (indirectly) of how West and Central Asians originated from a Western Eurasian meta-population like Europeans did. I guess maybe Western Eurasians should have their own article, since we don't really have an article that would serve its purpose as showing the genetic similarities between Europeans, Middle Easterners, and South Asians. Sausage Link of High Rule (talk) 16:49, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
In fact, I'm going to create an article for West Eurasians, because I noticed that an article explicitly noting and explaining the genetic ties between Europeans, Middle Easterners, and North Africans is entirely missing, and such relationship is only implied in tidbits scattered throughout many articles. So I think there should be an article as a parallel West Eurasian version of the Genetic history of East Asians article. Sausage Link of High Rule (talk) 00:19, 20 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
That's a good idea. But, uhm, "as a parallel West Eurasian version of the Genetic history of East Asians": I note that you have a tendency to mix up "East Eurasian" and "East Asian". We do not have an article about East Eurasian ancestry that discusses everything from Bacho Kiro to the Solomon Islands. –Austronesier (talk) 19:27, 20 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
Yes we do. The genetic history of East Asians article talks about Melanesians, Central Asians, and South Asians, and their relationship to East Asians, and about the East-Eurasian lineage. It is very functional as an East-Eurasian article. Sausage Link of High Rule (talk) 19:55, 20 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hi, I was looking at your edits after I made an edit to Genetic History of East Asians and I think your proposed article on West Eurasians is great and would work very well as a parallel to Genetic History of East Asians. May I suggest an edit? I noticed in your intro for your draft, you described the article as "This article explains the genetic makeup and population history of European peoples and closely related populations etc.", I think you should change it to "This article explains the genetic makeup and population history of European and Middle Eastern peoples and closely related populations etc." because Europeans and Middle Easterners are basal West Eurasian populations. It would also be a good way to differentiate from Genetic History of Europe. Saouirse (talk) 03:39, 21 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the advice! Will do! Sausage Link of High Rule (talk) 08:05, 21 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

By the way you are welcome to help edit the draft if you'd like! Sausage Link of High Rule (talk) 08:09, 21 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Nice to see that you compose your text in WP:WIKIVOICE. That's the best approach when presenting the mainstream state-of-the-art. Many editors tend to indiscriminately add everything that crosses their way, even papers that haven't got more than 10 cites even three years after publication. And the "he said, she said"-style ("According to a 2020 study in Nature...However, according to a 2019 study in Science (blabla)") is something that is really annoying in all genetics articles here. Of course, if something is still fresh and potentially controversial, we have to visibly attribute it in-text, but we should rarely resort to this: if something is too fresh and clearly open for debate, we should just not mention it here. WP is an encyclopedia and not a science news mag. In any case, even with the small bit that you have started, you can build a nice overview article from it. –Austronesier (talk) 20:00, 21 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution edit

Hi. I see in a recent addition to Draft:Genetic history of West Eurasians you included material from a webpage that is available under a compatible Creative Commons Licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. It's also required under the terms of the license. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. There's other citation errors too, such as missing sources. — Diannaa (talk) 21:08, 9 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

I understand that the draft is not currently up to Wikipedia's attribution standards. I will get it up to standards when I polish up the draft. Right now I'm kind of just adding sources and information to the article and building it up, letting my mind flow. The draft definitely still has some rough edges in the category of citations. Sausage Link of High Rule (talk) 21:16, 9 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
If you copy from another Wikipedia article into your draft, it's a good idea to bring the required citations along at the same time. Right now there's a lot of Harvard citations errors and other types of citation errors. You might be interested in installing the script User:Ucucha/HarvErrors to reveal Harv errors. If you need any help getting started with scripts, I would be happy to help. — Diannaa (talk) 21:23, 9 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Unsourced birth dates edit

Hi. I wanted to explain why I reverted a change you made to Kath Soucie. In this edit, you added a birth date, but you didn't cite a reliable source. Wikipedia has strict rules on content in biographies of living persons because this can impact real peoples' lives. Please be aware the many sites on the internet purport to give information about celebrities, but few of them of reliable. Sites like the IMDb use user-generated content, and they should not be cited in biographical articles. Similarly, celebrity gossip websites should not be used because most of them don't have a history of fact checking or publishing corrections. Fan sites and blogs are self-published and have no editorial control. We also can't use primary documents, such as government birth databases. This means that the number of available sources is quite slim, and we often have to either go without this information or wait until a source like Entertainment Weekly or the BBC publishes an interview that includes a birth date. If you're not sure whether a source is reliable, you can ask at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:43, 15 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

I used a primary source to find the information so I guess we shouldn't use it here. I didn't cite it because I wanted to respect the privacy of the person. Sausage Link of High Rule (talk) 04:54, 15 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use File:MichaelYarmush.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:MichaelYarmush.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion.

If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.

Wasn't the song a one-hit wonder though? That's the only song I've heard from Guy Sebastian, and it was all over the radio ten years ago. I wasn't trying to vandalize Wikipedia; I genuinely thought that song was significant enough to qualify for the list. I apologize if my actions were interpreted as vandalism. Sausage Link of High Rule (talk) 03:11, 12 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
The article in question is about one-hit wonders in the United States. Guy Sebastian and Lupe Fiasco had some success with their song "Battle Scars", but it did not rise high enough in the American charts for the media to say it was a one-hit wonder.
The biggest problem I had with your edit was that you cited this source even though the source DOES NOT list the song. You supplied a fake citation. Binksternet (talk) 03:18, 12 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, I had a link from such website, but it seemed by the source text that the standard for the article was to just show the website name in the reference rather than showing the URL. So I just did what all the other editors had done.
Here's the URL I got the one-hit wonder support from:
https://playback.fm/artist/guy-sebastian-top-songs
It's not the same page you used, but it's the same website, and it described it as "the one-hit wonder of the 2010s". But since it wasn't on the page you used, which I assume is the default page, I guess I should have specified the URL instead of using the default page.
Anyway, thank you for responding to my first message to give me a chance to explain my actions. Sausage Link of High Rule (talk) 03:24, 12 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

WP Policy on No Original Research edit

I wanted to help you by pointing you in the direction of the Wikipedia policy on Wikipedia:No original research because, when you say things in your edit summary like "That's all I've really heard the area be called really. I've seen the area be called Pomona, Covina, West Covina, and Covina Hills by locals mentioning it, either in real life conversation or on the internet. That the area is called by those names is simply common knowledge for those living in the area.", that is basically the definition of original research. And it's not common knowledge since I lived near there for almost 20 years and my wife graduated from CPP and we've never heard of it. I could easily say no one ever calls it that, but that would also be original research. Secondary published references are what is looked for on WP. Bahooka (talk) 23:08, 14 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
