Question re: fountains

This source says Las Danzarinas but Google Maps says Fuentes Danzantes. Do you know which title is more appropriate for the Wikipedia article? ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:17, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

Another Believer assuming the former governor was referring to them, Las Danzarinas seems to be the official name. The source you included says "that's why it is also known as "Fuente Danzarina"". It also says that it is a replica based on that of the Taj Mahal. Google names tend to be based upon common local names because they are updated by users.[1] (CC) Tbhotch 21:18, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

This may interest you

There's currently a new conflict in the White Mexicans article, it's an editor trying to force his way into the article disregarding sources, consensus and using rather subjective arguments to do so like we've seen various times before and are familiar with by now, would appreciate your help. Pob3qu3 (talk) 03:40, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

I'm watching that page due to the persistent sockpuppets. However, that user is older than the average, so I can't see a connection. If disputes continue, I'd recommend you to follow WP:DR techniques. (CC) Tbhotch 02:13, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

Sculpture in Guadalajara

Hi again! There's a large sculpture in Plaza Fundadores on the back side of Teatro Degollado. Are you able to find the name of this sculpture and/or confirm if there should be a Wikipedia entry? ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:18, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

Its called Friso de los Fundadores de Guadalajara. It is a frieze that (indirectly) decorates that fountain. It was done by Rafael Zamarripa. It is 3 m high x 21 m long. It is a high bronze relief that displays the founders of Guadalajara in 1542.[2][3][4] This is a dead link. I can't find it at Wayback. I don't know if it can be found elsewhere.
Thanks, see Friso de los Fundadores de Guadalajara ---Another Believer (Talk) 00:16, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

I also found that this one is called Apolo y las Musas. (CC) Tbhotch 20:08, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

I assume this should just be noted at Teatro Degollado and Apolo y las Musas should not be a standalone Wikipedia article? ---Another Believer (Talk) 00:17, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
Sorry, it was Apolo y las nueve musas. Temporarily yes, the sources I found are talking about it are discussing the theater or are talking about its creator, Benito Castañeda. (CC) Tbhotch 01:30, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

Very close, but there are 2 sets of sculptures. You can click on the maps of the 2 articles to see the locations are slightly different.
The English article is about the bridge; the Spanish article is about the gate. ---Another Believer (Talk) 05:46, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

The Exorcist

NAMB notwithstanding, I have myself many times typed in a search term looking for, say, a book but hit enter too quickly, or fumbled when selecting from the drop-down menu, and gone to the wrong article, about the film or franchise or game or whatever. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has. For that reason I think the hatnote's the least we could do for people.

To be fair, though, I think there's a case for getting rid of the "(film)" afterwards as I think it's the primary topic for "The Exorcist" ... I mean, the novel is way down there on the menu when you search (and of course, if we drop the disambiguator, then we probably will need the hatnote). Daniel Case (talk) 18:39, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Personal errors are personal. Wikipedia does not need to oversaturate every page with a hatnote with a premise that someone might arrive at the wrong page because they misclick it at the search bar. (CC) Tbhotch 18:42, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
Per WP:ASTONISH: "Ensure that redirects and hatnotes that are likely to be useful are in place. If a user wants to know about the branch of a well-known international hotel chain in the French capital, they may type "Paris Hilton" into the search box. This will, of course, take them to the page associated with a well-known socialite called Paris Hilton. Luckily, though, a hatnote at the top of that article exists in order to point our user to an article which they will find more useful.

We cannot control all astonishment – the point of an encyclopedia is to learn things, after all. But limiting the surprises our readers find within our articles' text will encourage rather than frustrate our readers." Daniel Case (talk) 18:49, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

can you explain how someone writing "The Exorcist (film)" will be astonished to discover that the article "The Exorcist (film)" is not about a novel or the general concept of exorcism? (CC) Tbhotch 18:52, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
Most readers who are not also editors don't type in the dab term when they search. Sometimes people aren't even aware there should be a dab term ... for instance, in the film context, there are many people unaware that popular films such as The Warriors and Fight Club are based on novels (This sometimes carries into more than just reading ... I have had both the article about the novel and the film of The Devil Wears Prada on my watchlist for years, since before the movie was even made (hell, I started that article when the teaser onesheet was available to illustrate it) and for years I have had to revert edits to the novel article where people change plot details to those in the film (most often, that Andie went to Northwestern, which she did in the film, whereas in the novel she's a Brown grad). I can only imagine that, that big "(novel)" in the article title notwithstanding, these people thought they were editing the article about the film. And maybe a hatnote there would be a good idea. Daniel Case (talk) 19:17, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
Oh, by the way, click on Fight Club. There's exactly that sort of hatnote there. Daniel Case (talk) 19:18, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
Yes, because "Fight Club" is at the base name and a link marking other uses at Fight Club (disambiguation) is required. If "Fight Club" were at "Fight Club (film)", then there would not be a hatnote (just like in your example at The Warriors (film)). You are not providing a single reason to say that the lack of hatnotes is astonishing. You are merely applying your own vision on why you think hatnotes are required and that's why WP:NAMB was created, to explain to users that hatnotes are used for very specific reasons. People are not going to type "The Exorcist (film)" if they want to read about a novel or about exorcisms. People will type Exorcist and The Exorcist to find what they are looking for, and in the case of the latter, they will find a franchise pointing them out all the The Exorcist-related topics. Just as disambiguations are not added just for the sake of it, neither are hatnotes added under the assumption that "someone will make a mistake in their search". (CC) Tbhotch 19:33, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
WP:HATCHEAP: "Hatnotes can save users time, such as by eliminating the need to use a disambiguation page or alerting the reader they are at the wrong article. For the desired effect, the hatnote must be displayed prominently up front." (Emphasis mine) From, in fact, WP:NAMB itself: "[H]atnotes should be used when they benefit the reader, regardless of whether the title is technically ambiguous or not." (emphasis mine again) And I think that a work with an identical title in print and on screen is ambiguous by virtue of requiring a dab term. Daniel Case (talk) 19:44, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
Considering that in the last month [5] Exorcist (disambiguation) received 273 views and Exorcism (disambiguation) received 116, I don't see how anyone is "saving their time" (like 5 to 10 seconds typing "T H E E X O R C I S T" in a search bar). If we further add that the film received 92,155 views, it's quite clear that no one is arriving there by mistake. Otherwise, the dab pages would have higher views. Therefore, this is hardly an occasional exception. (CC) Tbhotch 19:53, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
The dab issue to me isn't between "The Exorcist" and "exorcist" ... it's about all the entries under "The Exorcist" which could lead to people typing in that title who want to read the novel article ending up at the film one instead and become mildly irritated at that, and perhaps even more were they to read this discussion and see that someone who could have changed that instead holds them in contempt.

But anyway ... those hit figures make an even stronger case for dropping the dab term from the movie article and putting it on the franchise article (where The Exorcist currently takes you), as it's clearer that the movie is the primary topic.

I see nothing in policy where we make a decision on this purely on the basis of article statistics, and as for "I don't see how anyone is 'saving their time'" and "it's quite clear that no one is arriving there by mistake", well, how do you know that? It is perhaps a reasonable inference, but we don't exactly poll people when they reach the article, do we? We don't know this from the top-level data. Daniel Case (talk) 20:14, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

If 'The dab issue to me isn't between "The Exorcist" and "exorcist"' then you don't understand the general purpose of hatnotes. (CC) Tbhotch 20:16, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
instead of wasting my time with circular commentary, feel free to open a WP:RFC or discuss it elsewhere, becauuse here you keep barking to the wrong tree. My position will not change no matter how many times you reword your same argument. (CC) Tbhotch
Actually, the more I think about this the real issue may not be the hatnote as much as the article title. I should at some point in the future open an RM to have the film article have just the bare title, with the franchise article disambiguated with "(franchise)", because the presence of the hatnote suggests we have tacitly recognized that the vast majority of people type in "The Exorcist" to read about the 1973 film, not the franchise.

But I have another potentially contentious RM planned soon for another article, so not right now. Daniel Case (talk) 05:20, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

I also think it is the primary topic (Talk:The_Exorcist_(film)#Requested_move), but there's never a guarantee at RM. (CC) Tbhotch 19:13, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
We'll see ... that last discussion was almost nine years ago, and of course as you know consensus can change. I should probably do that sooner rather than later; I have this idea of getting that article to FA status in time for it to run on the Main Page on December 23, 2023, the 50th anniversary of its release, and as it's not even a GA (never been nominated, even, it seems) yet there's not too much time to waste, so getting the title issue cleared up—either way—would probably be a good place to start before anything else.

Sorry about that

Apologies - I was attempting to revert the IP, reloaded the page, and accidentally reverted you instead. Thanks for all you did to help deal with whoever was disrupting that page. Aoi (青い) (talk) 18:42, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

If you see that IP talking about "Lubek" and linking to archive.is links, just revert the edit; it is a permanently banned pest spreading his nonsensical conspiracy theories on Wikipedia. Just so you know. I've also removed your reply on that page per DENY; if you think I have erred in removing your reply, you can revert me. JavaHurricane 04:42, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for creating El Vigilante! I also noticed you categorized this image of mine. Do you happen to know if this artwork is notable, or at least the title? By the way, I also took this photograph but I don't know the name. ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:22, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

The one at the airport was part of this collection named Raza de Bronze. According to his website, that one is named Perseidas (420 x 240 x 340 cms, 2015), while the other one is named Balanza Monumental (280 x 330 x 180 cms, 2007). If anything the notability would rely on the collections as a whole. (CC) Tbhotch 21:00, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
Also, it shouldn't be confused with Persélidas Monumental (2009) (their wings are different). (CC) Tbhotch 21:21, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Michael Jackson's This Is It concert Wikipedia source

Hi Tbhotch, I edited the source of Michael Jackson's This Is It concert series in London from the Wikipedia.

Why did you removed the concert dates. I put the concert dates of where Michael Jackson would perform, but you removed it. Why did you removed it? Is it unsourced or anything?

Statues of Paseo de la Reforma

Hello (again!) Did you mean to remove an image with the image addition? ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:56, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

I added Bocanegra's sculpture because I couldn't find pictures of these sculptures until now (the other one is File:Margarita Maza.jpg). The previous one cannot be seen appropriately. (CC) Tbhotch 22:01, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
I see what you mean. Thanks. By the way, if you're able to identify any of the subjects depicted in this Commons category, some subcategories would be very helpful. Happy editing! ---Another Believer (Talk) 22:07, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
Basing myself on commons:User:Another Believer/Mexico City I guess you are talking about:
As far as I can see, some of the sculptures do have the name of the subjects, but it is not clear enough in most of the pictures. (CC) Tbhotch 22:35, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
Thank you. BTW, I created Glorieta del Caballito from the entry at Norwegian Wikipedia, if you can think of ways to improve further. ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:52, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

Apology regarding in the content of laiback luke

Hello there sir i sincerely apologize for the edits i made if i exposed the privacy of mr Van scheppingen i am so sorry for that the reason i edited his biography is that his father's name mr Kees was not included and his mother Lucy was only included upon searching in google his father was already posted on the Google search So i included the Fathers name in the career section and i just wanted to add his mentors in the career section also so i admit i made a mistake on that pls forgive me.

"disruptive" editing

I do not understand how are my edits of Oscar Isaac's Wikipedia article "controversial" and "disruptive". I have investigated a lot about him, and in every article it says that he is Guatemalan, just the fact that he was born in that country already makes him a citizen from that place. I just think you should investigate more, because he's also said in a lot on interviews that he IS Guatemalan. Reqlitybites (talk) 17:22, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

Final warning on Cg120's talk

Which edit are you referring to? I don't see any disruptive edit after the personal attacks, which I gave them a level-3 warning for. I think this editor mostly makes constructive edits and is just too new to be able to handle criticism well, so I'm trying to steer them into AGF. Nardog (talk) 16:23, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

While you assume good faith, the recent history of this person indicates that they are Wikipedia:Clearly not being here to build an encyclopedia. Enough is enough. (CC) Tbhotch 16:26, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
Isn't the point of the progressive warning to show that the recipient has done something despite earlier warnings? They've done nothing disruptive since the last level-3. Nardog (talk) 16:31, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
Warns are a courtesy method used to inform a person that they are making mistakes. Admins can and have blocked users with little to no warns, I see no point to wait until the next disruption when Cg120 said it loud and clear: "Oh I'm so scared yeah this BOT is really convincing" (i.e. I don't give a shit if I get blocked). If you analyze User talk:Cg120#Truth Social, the user is not here to collaborate, he's just here to waste our time. If you want to assume good faith on them, good for you, but I can't see any reason to do the same. (CC) Tbhotch 16:39, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
Well, that last comment they just made has cleared my misgivings about your warning, unfortunately. Nardog (talk) 16:44, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Ayuda en Wiki en Español

Hola Tbhotch, años luz que no te escribía. Te escribo en español porque recuerdo que hablabas mi idioma, espero no te moleste. Seguro no me recuerdas pero muchos años atrás te pedí ayuda por una disputa que había en el artículo de Gustavo Cerati. De hecho creo que fue hace 12 años ja ja. Mira ahora te escribo para saber si puedes ayudarme en algo en la Wikipedia en español. Resulta que hay gente que se ha dedicado a poner los samples que usó Gustavo Cerati directo en el tracklist de cada álbum, en cada una de las canciones, lo cual interpreto que tiene intenciones maliciosas de detractores del artista. Pero obviamente la cosa no va con lo que yo interprete, y tampoco va de "ocultar" los samples, porque perfectamente pueden describirse el uso de samples en una sección del artículo (así como en el artículo de artistas como Massive Attack se habla de los samples). De hecho, yo añadí una descripción respecto a los muchos samples usados del álbum Bocanada en la wiki en español. El punto es que además de que no se hace con todos los artistas que ocupan samples, considero que es profundamente antiestético ponerlo en el tracklist. En este caso, tomo de ejemplo a esta impecable Wikipedia en inglés con artistas como Massive Attack. Sospecho que si elimino dichos samples de la tracklist, habrán varios usuarios con intenciones de revertirlo, muchos de los cuales no estarán ni registrados. Acabo de añadir un tema respecto a lo mismo en la página de discusión de Gustavo Cerati en el wiki en español para ver si obtengo apoyo u opiniones de otros wikipedistas. No sé si puedas ayudarme o darme alguna opinión al respecto. Sería valioso de un usuario de tu experiencia en la página. Saludos --Gabriel (talk) 23:50, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
