Speedy deletion nomination of Philip Robert Anstruther edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Philip Robert Anstruther requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Philip Robert Anstruther. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Separated sets edit

Please refrain from policing editing matters of which you are unprepared to be familiar with the policy, and which are unconstructive both towards the material and other editors. 109.70.40.55 (talk) 17:41, 9 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

@109.70.40.55: What policy? The only policy I can see is you essentially violating MOS:LISTBULLET with improper indenting. See MOS:LIST for more information on bulleting instead of cluttering the article along with disruptive editing. Please cite a MOS that proves me wrong and I'll change my mind. SuperSkaterDude45 (talk) 17:51, 9 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
Please refrain from making disruptive edits. The policy is clear. 109.70.40.55 (talk) 23:01, 11 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Again, cite a MOS and I'll change my mind as you literally have no basis on making the article more cluttered. SuperSkaterDude45 (talk) 23:21, 11 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Franco-Prussian War edit

I have been working on your translations of articles about various battles in this war. Some of them look like they are machine translation and may need to be deleted, unless you prefer that I put them in your draft space. But right now I am working on Battle of Buchy, which can probably be rescued. I currently have two questions: 1) is it possible that “Formiere” is really “Formerie”? 2) I cannot find any mention of a General Briand, can you help with this? Thanks Elinruby (talk) 03:37, 13 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Elinruby: Most of the translations were from the Vietnamese wiki and while yes, I did use Google Translate to primarily translate the majority, I did do some modifications to fix some grammatical errors and overall transfer most of the content over to the English wiki. To answer the following:

1. Likely, the direct transliteration just said "Formiere" but that could be a fault on Google's end as it isn't a 100% accurate. 2. Some articles have little to no info on the generals and are likely not notable enough for even their own biography.

That being said, I'm willing to do a revision on some key articles you want me to review as they are definitely some of my more earlier articles that could use improvement. SuperSkaterDude45 (talk) 03:46, 12 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Ok. One of the other ones I am most concerned about is Battle of Gray; see comments about it at WP:PNT and we can go from there. I realize that it is common to just say “General Briand” as I spend a lot of time fixing up machine translation of French military history, but it would be really nice to determine his first name at least. But anyway. Do you speak Vietnamese? The problem I am having is that usually l look at the original when baffled, and I don’t speak Vietnamese. But even if you don’t you may, from going through these, be able to answer some of my questions. I will have more. These articles do seem to contain information that isn’t on the English Wikipedia right now, so I would prefer to fix them up 😆 Cheers Elinruby (talk) 04:01, 13 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Elinruby: Unfourtunately, I do not speak Vietnamese as I do my edits via Google Translate. At the time, I was translating all the redlinks that were on the Franco-Prussian War and the original source doesn't list his first name. I can try to find a source to determine his first name but so far, I can't find anything. The best I can do for the Battle of Gray is to switch some paragraphs around to have it make more sense and improve its structure. Otherwise, I'm just the guy that translates articles from other wikis. I'll try to improve its overall structure and maybe even copy edit. SuperSkaterDude45 (talk) 04:56, 12 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
I understand. See if you can figure out what that stuff about the king’s room by the river is about, and why that meant the French had to withdraw, though. The problem is at the level of sentence structure not paragraph order. My best guess is that it may be about the capture of Napoleon III? Did that happen there, do you know? Elinruby (talk) 05:16, 13 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Elinruby: The battle occurred a month after the Battle of Sedan so its likely just a transliteration error but I'll do a review myself later today as I'm currently working on several other translations so I'm rather busy right now. SuperSkaterDude45 (talk) 05:41, 12 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
ok. LMK. But yeah, if you are saying he was captured at Sedan, that’s the sort of insight I am bugging you for. My own acquaintance with this war dates to high school a long long time ago. Elinruby (talk) 06:02, 13 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Elinruby: After doing some quick translation work, I found out it was just a transliteration error and wasn't actually meant to be there. Fixed it as of writing this. SuperSkaterDude45 (talk) 16:32, 13 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Edit warring at British Raj edit

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on British Raj. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 17:55, 23 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Mathglot: Actually, I was already discussing on the article talk about the ensigns but alright. SuperSkaterDude45 (talk) 17:58, 23 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
Talking it out on the talk page is the right approach in a content disagreement. If there isn't enough opinion or you need additional, fresh eyeballs, there are other things you can do such as requesting a third opinion, listing the discussion at a WP:WikiProject such as at WT:WikiProject British Empire (or any of the other projects listed at Talk:British Raj—look for the word 'WikiProjects' in the Template header at the top of Talk:British Raj, and click '[show]' for a complete list). There is also mediation, or starting a Request for comment. An Rfc is a more formal, structured discussion where other, disinterested parties get notified by a bot to come attend the Rfc and render an opinion; it stays open for 30 days, and gets closed by an experienced closer. See also WP:Dispute resolution. An Rfc is a last resort: see WP:RFCBEFORE, but if you do get to that point and need help setting one up, you can ask me on my talk page, or at WT:RFC and someone will assist you. But try everything else, first. Good luck, Mathglot (talk) 18:25, 23 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

At talk pages, comment on content, not on editors edit

When discussing on the Talk page how best to improve an article, please comment on content, not on the contributor. Comments like the following are disruptive:

the fact that [something other editors are or aren't doing] just proves that your arguments are opinionated and invalidated.

Wikipedia's page on WP:No personal attacks has this to say: "Personal attacks are disruptive. On article talk pages they tend to move the discussion away from the article and towards individuals. Such attacks tend to draw battle lines and make it more difficult for editors to work together." Please keep that in mind while in discussion with other editors at Talk:British Raj.

The other thing is, your requests for other editors to "Please... give several reliable sources that clearly state that the Raj did not use neither the civil or naval ensigns", but that's an impossible task. If I asked you to prove that the moon is *not* made of purple cheese, you won't find anything in libraries or online about that, but that doesn't mean that it *is* made of purple cheese. Likewise, there may not be a *single* source that says that the Raj did not use a particular ensign. But that does not prove that they did use it.

It's possible on a Talk page to disagree with other editors, even disagree strongly, but if you keep your comments restricted strictly to comments about article content and not about other editors, you're likely to get a better reception from others, and in the end, more likely to persuade others of your position. It's very hard for others to agree with you, if they feel they are under attack. Hope this helps, and feel free to contact me below, or on my Talk page, if you have any questions.

Translating from Thai edit

Hi. I just went through the Chaophraya Bodindechanuchit (Yaem na Nakhon) and Phraya Thephatsadin articles. I'm quite impressed with how much you were able to piece together from what I presume was Google Translate, seeing how extremely garbled its output is on the Thai Wikipedia articles. I also notice that you clearly studied my previous copyedit on Chaophraya Bodindechanuchit (Arun Chatrakul), so thank you for the effort. However, the machine translation's still bound to throw many things wildly off, and a manual review is very much necessary. I'm usually watching WikiProject Thailand's new articles feed, but if you don't see follow-ups to a new article, please leave a note at the wikiproject talk page or make use of the {{rough translation}} template.

Draft:Carl Nordensvan edit

I noticed your draft at Draft:Carl Nordensvan. Two comments on that. First, the {{translated}} template on the talk page is not correct; did you mean to link the article fi:Carl Nordensvan or sv:Carl Lennart Nordensvan? Correct attribution is critical. Second, the translation needs significant copyediting. For example, Carl's father presumably wasn't a "Court of Appeal" all by himself and I assume "The Nordic Swan" is a machine translation error of "Nordenswan" rather than a nickname. You also shouldn't translate the names of sources (e.g. there is no such book as "Biography of Finnish Jaegers", only a book called "Suomen jääkärien elämäkerrasto". Please remember that Wikipedia consensus is that an unedited machine translation, left as a Wikipedia article, is worse than nothing. If you have question on how certain domains-specific terms (e.g. Finnish "jääkäri" or Swedish "jägare") are usually translated, let me know and I'll gladly help. -Ljleppan (talk) 10:34, 25 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

  • @Ljleppan: The draft was an original translation from the Finnish Wikipedia but I've used more info that wasn't present from the original. Overall, my older translations weren't exactly the most accurate and I only translated 2 Finnish articles so I could definitely use some help with some wording. SuperSkaterDude45 (talk) 11:18, 25 March 2022
    I changed the {{translated}} template to point to fi.wp (since you said that's the original), so that's solved. I'll try to find time to do a copy edit pass in the next few days and will also search for any newspaper sources or equivalent. Right now it feels a bit borderline w/r/t WP:NPEOPLE, but I'd imagine I can find something in the archives. -Ljleppan (talk) 11:38, 25 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
    Just FYI, I did a bunch of edits to the draft. Mostly copyediting stuff, but also referencing work. For example, it turned out that three different references were actually pointing to the same article. Another major thing, I took a look at Smele's book through Google Books and didn't get any hits for "Nordensvan", so I removed that references. If you have access to the book, and can verify that the cites were in fact correct, please do reinstate that stuff. I also added a few {{citation needed}} tags for stuff that I couldn't source to the present references but that would greatly benefit from referencing. This ended up being quite a lot of changes, so I hope you don't feel like I overstepped. - Ljleppan (talk) 18:30, 26 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Third Battle of Winchester edit

Hello SuperSkaterDude45 - I noticed you made some changes to the flag icons in Third Battle of Winchester. Thank you for your interest, and maybe I can learn something today. The battle occurred in 1864, and 1864 flag icons were originally in the InfoBox. You changed them to 1863 flags. What was the reasoning there? I don't want to make the same mistake next time.

This is because when you just use the 1864 variants, they don't actually exist in neither the American nor Confederate templates so it defaults to using the 50 star and 1865 variant respectively which neither were conceived by the time the battle occurred.

Good to know and thanks! Is there an easy way to check what templates exist? I'm working on an 1862 battle. TwoScars (talk) 20:08, 16 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
