Castle Point Anime Convention

Want to get your opinion on some sources before I consider taking this to AFD, sadly even with the years since its deletion and recreation I don't think Castle Point Anime Convention has enough sources. This is what I could find:

NJ.com

1. Thousands flock, in costume
2. Stevens readies for Castle Point
3. Artists' alley at Castle Point Anime Convention
4. Castle Point Anime Convention in Hoboken continues
5. Hoboken's Castle Point Anime Convention begins

The Stute (Castle Point Colleges Newspaper)

1. CPAC shatters attendance record
2. Castle Point Anime Convention Preview

The problems I'm coming up with, is while the NJ.com articles are ok, and there are several, they are older. I don't think the college newspaper would survive an AFD debate. I've searched deep and couldn't find any other sources that would meet project standards at this point. Esw01407 (talk) 18:11, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

@Esw01407: per WP:NTEMP it doesn't matter how old the sources are, it would be nice though to get some more widespread coverage though. Yes AfD is an option, but there are convention articles that are in far worse shape so I would start with those. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:53, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

U.S. House elections, 2016

I've removed the map but have also posted in the discussions page. (S)he can restore it when deemed appropriate, but I feel it sets a dangerous precedent to keep it up currently when none of those races have actually been decided. In fact, all races are susceptible to Write-In races which can sprout up at any moment, regardless of how unlikely that is to happen. The map needs to be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TenderBlur (talk • contribs) 17:18, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

Atlantic hurricane season forecasts table

Hi there. I see that you changed the season forecasts table back to the original one. I will rv that to the next table again designed both by me and JR. We are planning to do the same to the other seasons as well for the Atlantic. The new table is a new version. Thank you. Typhoon2013 (talk) 23:52, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

@Typhoon2013: Hold on a second can we have a discussion on the matter? - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 00:53, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

So far only 2 users have contributed (me and you). Have I done something wrong? I did reminded 3 users about it in the past hour. What happens if no one contributes in the next 24hrs? If this is the case, I would say it is currently a 50/50 on keeping the original and changing to the new format. I still cannot decide if only 2 people have contributed. :| Typhoon2013 (talk) 02:33, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Reverts on Democratic Party presidential primaries, 2016

Hello Knowledgekid87, I'd hate to fall into an edit war with you because I appreciate your contributions to the topics where we have randomly been in touch. However I must point out that you just violated the 1-revert-per-day rule which is in place at Democratic Party presidential primaries, 2016, so I would kindly ask you to self-revert your latest edits to this version and let other editors apply any changes they deem appropriate. As you rightly pointed out, the presumptive nominee debate will be settled in a few hours anyway but I believe we shouldn't have thrown out our painstakingly agreed consensus on sources just for the joy of being a few hours early; there has been all day a lot of debating among media professionals and Democrats over the AP announcement which may look designed to influence the election -- amazingly, people find convincing arguments for saying it would be positive or negative for either candidate! My opinion is that the announcement was simply sent out to boost media audience, with no conspiracy to help either side. For my part I have reverted you once and won't touch the page further tonight. Kind regards, — JFG ^talk 23:53, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

The reason...

...that that AN/I thread hasn't been reclosed is, in the words of Iridiscent, because "the fact of people posting after the thread has been closed is behavioural evidence in its own right"... in other words, let a certain party keep on embarassing itself _Muffled ^Pocketed 13:34, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Utah isn't a swing state

thanks for updating election articles, particularly polling. You've put Utah is a swing state on the 2016 presidential election article, but the statewide polling article, which you've edited more than anyone else, has Republicans leading in that state by 15 points? No site I know has it as a swing state. e.g. fivethirtyeight has it as one of the safest states: http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/?ex_cid=rrpromo#plus I recommend the Keepin' it 1600 podcast, kind regards Tom B (talk) 00:08, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

@Tpbradbury: Let me ask this, if Utah really is safe then why has no prediction source other than fivethirtyeight have it as such? We cant give undue weight to one prediction source. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 00:14, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

All the sources on Statewide_opinion_polling_for_the_United_States_presidential_election,_2016#Utah which you've edited, has Utah as safe, Real Clear Politics, 270 to Win, [1]. The NY Times has Utah as the 4th safest republican state: [2], why do you say no source other than 538? Tom B (talk) 00:43, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

I am talking predictions not polls, we have The Cook Political Report, Sabato's Crystal Ball, Stuart Rothenberg, and RealClearPolitics. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 00:47, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

And which of those has Utah as a swing state? Tom B (talk) 02:27, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

All four of them, none are predicting it as "Safe", right now Indiana has the same ratings if you look at the table. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 02:28, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

No, none of the 4 are, I asked which are predicting it as swing state. I agree, Indiana isn't a swing state either, we should remove both, Tom B (talk) 02:38, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

I don't think any source is coming out to say "these are the swing states" I cant find it over at 538 other than maps and analysis which is also used over at the other prediction sources. So in short can you tell me where there is a source that in writing says "Yes these are the states"? - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 02:45, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

I've already said The NY Times has Utah as the 4th safest republican state: [3]. that is not a poll that is a prediction. You've put in the article that Utah is a swing state. As I asked at the top of this section, please may you tell me/the reader, where there is a source in writing for that? I think we're going to have take this to the article talkpage if you're going to continue to insist that Utah, Indiana are swing states. They are not. Tom B (talk) 03:01, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

I think you are confused, NYT is predicting that Utah is the 4th safest state. This is a prediction, it is not saying "Utah is not a battleground/swing state". As I have pointed above though 4 other sources have also made their own predictions. All three (which we use btw) are pointing towards "Likely Republican" which is not "Safe Republican". - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:06, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

No, I'm not confused, Utah is not a key battleground state in this election. All 3 are pointing towards "Likely" not "Safe", no person has been arguing with you about what states are completely safe or not. The section is about the 10 or so key battleground states not for the 38 states that are "unsafe". Tom B (talk) 03:23, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

One innovative method might be to use the top 10 or so of the 'chance of tipping the election' list on 538 [4]? Tom B (talk) 03:35, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

I'm sorry of engaging an edit war, but I just want to leave my editing on those articles just the way they are.

Editing a character article

Look, I don't care if I get blocked every single day. All I wanted to is let the readers know the true facts about this character, I know how a romantic comedy functions, I just want you guys to know that Tsukune and Moka are just friends and nothing else, I've watched the anime and read the manga. Nothing in the world is going to change between the relationship between two characters. Since it is an harem anime, the main male protagonist has more than one love interest and Moka is just one of those main female characters in the show despite being the title character. I could have a chat with the original manga artist, Akihisa Ikeda so I can settle this conversation once and for all. You guys can reach contact with him from Nichinan, Miyazaki, Japan from where I live the address, 3201 W 10th Avenue Pl Broomfield, CO 80020.

If you want this conflict to stop, just leave my editing alone or I'll continue to do this, until you stop. So go ahead, falsely accuse me of harassing some of your colleagues, block me for twenty-four hours, but I'll beat it and we'll start the whole thing all over again.

You have been warned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anthony Duran (talk • contribs) 17:18, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

WP:VPP discussion about terrorism

There is a VPP discussion about distinguishing between terrorist attacks and non-terrorist attacks, if you would like to participate. Parsley Man (talk) 23:05, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

I personally think we should not just narrowly define terrorism but seek to stamp out terrorism in ALL its forms. This is necessary to preserve Western culture.

Demonizer Zilch

Just wanted to let you know the history behind the inconsistency you found: a few months ago (I think it may have been in June) Yen pushed back the release dates for a bunch of volumes by about a week (I know because I had to go around and update a bunch of articles). However, ANN's encyclopedia didn't get updated with the new dates. This happens fairly often, actually - it's not unusual to see a wrong release date in ANN's weekly schedule.

Opinion Polling for presidential election

You apparentely haven't read this either WP:BRD. My first edit should have stayed. You are the one who started the disruptive editing, by changing it. BRD is not a valid excuse for reverting good-faith efforts to improve a page simply because you don't like the changes. Don't invoke BRD as your reason for reverting someone else's work or for edit warring; instead, provide a reason that is based on policies, guidelines, or common sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AllSportsfan16 (talk • contribs) 16:04, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

Your edits were reverted by another editor right then and there the bold changes which you made were undone. You need a new consensus to go forward with your proposed changes. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:20, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

I understand why you are trying to keep the map and table for this current election. However it makes absolutely no sense to keep the one on the 2012 page. That election was four years ago and a map that contains possible electoral votes related to poll results is not necessary or accurate and is silly to even show.AllSportsfan16 (talk) 00:58, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Also can you remove me from the administrator incident board. I apologized and I won't do it again. Also while I was off Wikipedia someone changed the page back to how it was before. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AllSportsfan16 (talk • contribs) 01:01, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Think about this for a second. If you have two polls, one that comes out Oct 22-26 and one that comes out 25-26 it makes way more sense to use the 20-26 one because it covers the same time period 25-26 plus it covers 20-24. Also it has a lower margin of error. It shouldn't matter what day the poll starts it matters what day it comes out. It makes more sense to use a longer time period than a shorter one. It's simple logic.AllSportsfan16 (talk) 16:09, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

Demonizer Zilch

Understand that these projects are for biblical/theological studies, for example, Supernatural (U.S. TV series) references biblical names, places etc. and visually does representations of actually occult sigils but is not taken is a series matter because the ideal of the show is just a show. Unless there is some sort of news worthy information that's making academics get excited and speculate on the particular manga/anime, the subject is irrelevant to the project. — JudeccaXIII (talk) 03:33, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

@JudeccaXIII: The entire series is about demons, deals with a fictional Christian organization, and drops references left and right. These things exist in fiction as well and expanding project coverage is a good thing not a bad one. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:45, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

I also want to add that the main character Zilch is possessed by Alastor. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:47, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

I referenced Supernatural (U.S. TV series) as an example why it isn't on either Wikiproject, but for more clarity, it's not educational. Constantine (film), Constantine (TV series), and Supernatural (U.S. TV series), all of these media content mention satan, angels, demons, demon possession, sigils etc. but there not on Wikiprojsects Occult on Christianity because it's not educational, it's just media entertainment. — JudeccaXIII (talk) 03:58, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

I don't see any policy/guideline related arguments in your reasoning so this is nothing more than a WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT discussion. As for education, by whose definition are we going by? If someone sees a mention of Alastor wouldn't the person who is interested look up or want to look up this info? It isn't confined to anime or manga entertainment. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 04:04, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

If someone wanted to look up Alastor, he/she would simply click the BLUE LINK or go to the search bar. This is common sense. If you don't know what a Wikiproject is, see WP:PROJGUIDE. — JudeccaXIII (talk) 04:22, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

I didn't read anything there regarding this situation, education in this case is subjective. If you want to start an RfC or amend a project's scope then feel free. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 04:26, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

Orange Line

I'm not sure what you're attempting to do with the Orange Line article; one image for every several paragraphs is a normal amount, and the previous amount was neither causing substantial double-stacking or text squeezing. By putting images in a gallery, you're removing them from their textual context. The "Essex" sign at Chinatown means a lot more when it's next to a paragraph discussing name changes.

Galleries are generally depreciated at the article-scale level; they're really only useful at the section scale to present a time series, comparison, or other closely related group of images. See Littleton/Route 495 (MBTA station)#New station for an example of that. On the Orange Line article, it might be appropriate to have a gallery under the Rolling stock section to compare the original stock with the 01100s with the upcoming order, as that would use the images directly to support the text.

"A gallery is not a tool to shoehorn images into an article, and a gallery consisting of an indiscriminate collection of images of the article subject should generally either be improved in accordance with the above paragraph or moved to Wikimedia Commons" is the relevant part of WP:GALLERY. "One rule of thumb to consider: if, due to its content, such a gallery would only lend itself to a title along the lines of "Gallery" or "Images of [insert article title]", as opposed to a more descriptive title, the gallery should either be revamped or moved to the Commons" is also of note.

If you're this worried about there being 9 images in a 2300-word article, then feel free to expand it into a more suitable length. Contrary to your claim on the talk page, the history section could use a rather substantial expansion. There are several important topics like the original plans for the elevated system, the post-1901 capacity expansion and platform lengthenings across the line, and the abandoned attempts to extend the line past its current temrinals that need covered.

Merry Christmas from me and my girlfriend

--EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 11:50, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

@EurovisionNim: Thanks! I hope you have a very Merry Christmas as well =). I had to hide the template not to be a scrooge but to have it so the discussion below this one can be read. I think there is something wrong with the template that needs fixing. Thanks again though!. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 23:34, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

My girlfriend would not be impressed with you. Anyway, in September; I wanted to go out with her to the movies, so she, her friend and myself went out for the morning. Anyway, not many people were at the cinemas that day, so I managed to nab my first kiss. It was totally romantic; I was sweating afterwards. Anyway, I took her to my school ball, which was a lot of fun. I was so delighted when I had her for the school dinner dance; a good friend introduced me to her and later I decided to go romantic with her. The school quiz night was a bonus as I managed to get my kiss in front of all my friends when we came 8th overall. It was so much fun!!! --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 03:11, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

AXS

I'd like to get your opinion on a source, AXS. They seem to be reporting on a series of fan events, but are also a major corporation. I'm having issues determining if they would be considered a reliable source, as several articles that lack sources could benefit from their coverage. Esw01407 (talk) 18:24, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

@Esw01407: In this case while the website may or may not be notable, the staff as individuals may not be. Like for the example you provided above, who is Christen Bejar? Is he a blogger or staff member that posts on the website, and if so is he vetted? If it were AXS as a whole for the author then maybe, but here it is a bit more tricky. I would ask for more opinions over at WP:RSN, my gut is leaning towards yes for AXS as a whole, but situational for the article authors. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 19:50, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Hijab merges

Well, that was mighty bold. Why did you do that? This was not at all the consensus in the long merge discussion. Eperoton (talk) 03:03, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Regarding Chivalry of a Failed Knight and The Asterisk War

While the RfC for the template/categorization situation at WT:ANIME is still ongoing, do you mind if we should join forces on the Chivalry of a Failed Knight and The Asterisk War articles? They seem to have no reception (either sales or critical responses for the light novels, manga or anime) or production information in the articles, and Chivalry needs more references; we can get those up to at least C-Class or B-Class. Thanks, Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 08:19, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello Knowledgekid87. I saw your note.

From WP:CLEANUP:

Avoid "drive-by" tagging.

Tags should be accompanied by a comment on the article's talk page explaining the problem and beginning a discussion on how to fix it, or, for simpler problems, a remark using the reason parameter as shown below; tagging editors must be willing to follow-through with substantive discussion.

If the article needs work, please be specific in what work is needed.

Need an opinion about notability

Hello, I have started analyzing articles on breaking news events to determine if they are still notable after the initially wave of media coverage. I found this article, 2016 stabbing of Brussels police officers, that received attention in early October 2016 but the media response died down since then. I respect your opinion at AfDs so I ask: do you think this is worth nominating for deletion? Because it is a suspected terrorist attack, I anticipate the "but it's a terrorist attack; it most be notable" rationales but I want your policy-based judgment on the article.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 21:13, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

Kimetsu no Yaiba reception section

I made the following edit on the Reception section from the Kimetsu no Yaiba Page.

"According to an advertisement placed by Shueisha in Shinjuku Station, the first five volumes had printed 1 million copies as of May 2017. [2]. The first seven volumes had 1.5 million copies in print as of August 2017."

And it had these 2 Twitter links as sources. https://twitter.com/kimetsu_off/status/861471980519694336 https://twitter.com/kimetsu_off/status/892976710190112768

Proof this is an official Twitter account.

https://twitter.com/SHUEISHA_PR/following

As the description of the SHUEISHA_PR account indicates, this account only retweets things from official Shueisha property related accounts. Also, all the accounts this official Shueisha twitter follows are official accounts for various Shueisha properties. If you look at the top zone, you will find @kimetsu_off and you can even find retweeted tweets from the kimetsu_off account. Hopefully this is enough proof to convince you that the sales information is 100% legit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.114.139.180 (talk) 15:28, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Edit: Hi, I saw that you still kept that review in on the page, but I truly think it is pointless, I mean, who posts reviews of singular chapters of a manga on Wikipedia? At least wait for the first volume to get released(in English), that will be in 2018 most likely, more reviews will pop up then surely. Only the first 3 chapters have officially been translated when the manga launched over a year ago and I believe it truly is pointless to point out a review of 1 singular chapter when the series currently has 7 volumes and 71 chapters. It's kind of weird in my opinion. Thanks for your patience.

New Edit: Also, you could allow the print numbers for the first 5 volumes as well since it shows the quick progress the series had, going from 700k to 1.5 million volumes in print in the span of 2 months.

Reactions to... cont.

Would the outcomes of AFDs be useful for a potential discussion of "Reactions to..." articles? On this list I have watchlisted there are two nominations most likely heading toward deletion and I have noticed a small trend as of late to delete these articles. I would rather not nominate similar articles one by one. And unless we we achieve world peace soon, newer ones will surely appear. Do you believe a discussion will attract attention? By the way, your voice of logic at AFD is sorely missed and I hope to see your name a little more often again!TheGracefulSlick (talk) 02:54, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

@TheGracefulSlick: Thank you for your kind words =). I would propose that "reactions to..." articles always must first be placed into draft format only. The problem is trying to figure out if the event is going to or has had a huge impact or not. Take Reactions to the September 11 attacks for example, the reactions in many cases changed the world on how we now live. This one isn't easy but making it mandatory that these articles cant reach main-space without consensus seems the right way to go. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:07, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

Animelo Set List

Hi there,

I appreciate your edits to keep pages up to date... However, is there any way you could keep the Set Lists intact for the Animelo page that removed back on the 11th Nov? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animelo_Summer_Live)

I relied on it heavily to determine which performers had a performance/song on particular days, including which Anime/Game/etc the song was originally from - the official site doesn't have the song origin.

If you could reinstate this section or make it collapsible to save space, I would appreciate it. Thanks. Goldfire86 (talk) 02:13, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

@Goldfire86: I will see what I can do tomorrow, I do not want to re-include sets that can't be verified as being true. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 02:22, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

@Knowledgekid87: That's understandable. Sounds good if you could look at it. How would one go about verifying the sets? Even though I'm a nobody on Wikipedia... If it helps, I've watched all of the Animelo releases from the start and used the Wiki page set lists as a guide. They are accurate/true. I'll leave it in your capable hands. Goldfire86 (talk) 02:34, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

I also used the list of songs as an library, since it was very easy to find to songs that matched the year, If you can not fix that is not broken please, that be awesome. -signed the internet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OverHereAndHere (talk • contribs) 18:20, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

yc"If you want to confirm the set list, u can check it here at the official website "http://anisama.tv/2017/special/setlist.php" and the set list is real. I also rely on the setlist for easier viewing throughout the years so i hope you can edit it back in."

I was devastated to see the set list removed (even though I know that it can be retrieved), and am only now responding as I have a few days off when I am not in Japan with time to respond carefully.

Goldfire86 expressed it very well and the entire Animelo Summer Live set lists being on a single page makes for speedy searching within a browser.

As far as verification goes, I attended in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017 (all "Summer Live" concerts of those years), purchased the programmes for those years, and the book "Animelo Summer Live Perfect Book: Bridge to ReBridge" and have the DVD's from 2006 and 2007, and blu-rays from 2011-2016 inclusive apart from the Animelo Super Game Song live. Actual songs are listed at the anisama.tv site (minus some introductory music, which can be verified from the DVD's/blu-rays). The value of the combined set lists is that there is a wealth of cross-referencing.

The removal also took away the work of lots of people including myself who prefer to edit anonymously, as characterised by the post above that was unsigned.

There was no discussion on the talk page for Animelo Summer Live about the removal of the set lists before or after it happened either.

It would be better to restore the setlists and flag which sections need verification (e.g. where information from anisama.tv is lacking) rather than have to rebuild them from scratch.

Splouge (talk) 09:30, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

Almost 3 months and an afternoon of editing and verifying sources later I have restored the setlists for Animelo Summer Live and spinoff events. The later part of the 2017 setlist could do with linkifying references to the source anime of the songs.

But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb it, or the Country’s done for.

Could you please add my reply to AN/I: Poland article - planned POV attack

I'm really sorry to bother you, I sent this to User_talk:Beeblebrox, but it looks like he/she is not online:

Of course blaming the Poles for Auschwitz is an awful, despicable thing to do, and I'd revert the Nazi apologist and submit the case to whatever board is appropriate. I agree, such edits are serious incidents, there's no doubt about it. However, the OP in this case mentions such an edit (singular) as something that happened on another Poland-related article, made by some other editor. That made them uncomfortable and on the look-out for more vandalism (fully understood, such vile things should not happen on WP). However, the edit that this AN/I is about is something different: Should it be mentioned that Poland is the largest EU net beneficiary or not? That's what I meant by content dispute.

As I mentioned on their talk page, I'm not extended confirmed so I cannot reply there. I will strike out my message there if you can add it to AN/I for me. Thanks in advance. BytEfLUSh ^Talk 05:03, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Done. =) - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 05:13, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Thank you very much. :) BytEfLUSh ^Talk 05:20, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Unexplained MOS:ANIME revert

Hi. Could you please explain your reasons for reverting my edits to MOS:ANIME? You seem to have neglected the edit summary. I could give the rationale for my edits here, if needed. Thanks. —67.14.236.50 (talk) 07:13, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

Correcting the meaning of name Akane

Hello Knowledgekid87. I noticed that you edited article about name Akane here. As I commented already on the Talk page there I think the meaning "Angry Child" is not correct. Do you think we can update the meaning? — Preceding unsigned comment added by GeraltZRivii (talk • contribs) 07:50, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

I did above change. Please let me know in case of any doubts. GeraltZRivii (talk) 12:22, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

GA review

Hi. A fellow user nominated the movie article Boruto: Naruto the Movie but it has been over 30 days and it hasn't been nominated. If you have free time, I would appreciate if you could review it considering your experience with Wikipedia articles.Tintor2 (talk) 01:30, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

@Tintor2: Since you helped me with Himari, sure! =) I will either start tomorrow (1/15) or on Tuesday. This way I can carve out some time to devote to the review. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:03, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Suggestion on Non-tropical storms talk page

I have posted a suggestion on the Non-tropical storms project talk page. Please look at it and let me know if this is a good idea. (Also please look at my previous suggestion.) Thank you.--Halls4521 (talk) 02:36, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Hogg move

Re this, suggest a closer look. It says "one of the group's co-founders", referring to Never Again MSD, which paragraph was where I had it. I disagree with the move, but if left where it is it needs a copy edit. ―Mandruss ☎ 17:02, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

I missed that line so I undid the changes, thanks for the heads up. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:04, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for the feedback; point well taken. --K.e.coffman (talk) 04:15, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

Endless discussions

If you object to endless discussions, how about speaking out in support of WP:SATISFY, instead of staying silent because the offender happens to have !voted the same way as you. I think you know that's improper article talk behavior per community norms. ―Mandruss ☎ 19:05, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

Portal:Current events and revert wars

Hi, wondering if you have anything useful to add to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Content dispute for the Portal talk:Current events/2018 March 6 article. I'm asking you because I came across your name in previous discussions, and a search of your contrib history seems to confirm you have some involvement with the current events portal but I don't think you're one of the ones getting into insane edit wars. BTW, I will mention that I invited you at ANI. Nil Einne (talk) 14:40, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

‎List of The Powerpuff Girls episodes

An easier way to revert to an earlier state of an article is to go to the history, click the date, which will take you the old revision of the article, edit that old revision and save. No need to undo every individual edit, that clogs the history and unnecessarily sends too many revert notifications. Or use WP:TWINKLE. So, no, you don't need to get to the earlier edits to undo. -- Alex^TW 20:03, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Okay thanks! =) - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:40, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Mech$niper: Sorry about  what happened. Honestly I don't know if Tsuyuno's eyes are constantly yellow but I was thinking how Aya's change to red, maybe the other girls do too?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mech$niper (talk • contribs) 02:33, 19 March 2018 (UTC) 

Various lighthouse articles

I noticed you have been doing wholesale edits to lighthouse articles.
"Removed museum category, if any given lighthouse is open to the public then it is more than likely also a museum."<br? I don't disagree with your assertion, but wonder whether your action is the most helpful path to the readers.<br? Is it not better to have too many categories than too few? 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:42, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Well we do have WP:OVERCAT, I further explained my position over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Lighthouses#Category:Lighthouse museums. The wording of Lighthouse Museum is also a bit muddied. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:47, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

I disagree. But I will wait for more comments before doing a wholesale undo of your wholesale depopulation of that category. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 16:23, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Rather than say you "disagree" would you go into what you disagree with? - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:12, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

I stated my position at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Lighthouses#Category:Lighthouse museums. It would be best if we post hole the discussion there. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 02:31, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Redirect

Your Naomi Wadler redirection is a good idea, but please let folks on March_for_Our_Lives check (and maybe copy) the references for a day or two. Apparently we started different solutions (redirect vs. new merge target) from different ends simultaneously, no offense intended. –84.46.53.50 (talk) 20:28, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

Never mind, I explained the issue on Talk:March_for_Our_Lives#Naomi_Wadler with a permalink, your redirection was good enough. –84.46.53.50 (talk) 21:06, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

I thought you might be interested in this...

I've been learning JavaScript so that I can automate things on Wikipedia. Though automating page construction is way down the road. In the meantime, while I'm learning, I've been building semi-automated (interactive) software tools.

One I've recently created is SearchSuite.

It enhances search results and makes copying/pasting results to lists (including outlines) from search results much easier.

It's also good as a general navigation aid, as it can reformat search results to 1 item per line, stripping out all details. Great for browsing lots of topics fast.

It can also sort.

Each feature is presented as a menu item to turn it on and off. And the script remembers the switch positions between pages.

I hope you find it useful. All feedback is welcome.     — The Transhumanist    06:31, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Invitation to WikiProject Portals

The Portals WikiProject has been rebooted.

You are invited to join, and participate in the effort to revitalize and improve the Portal system and all the portals in it.

There are sections on the WikiProject page dedicated to tasks (including WikiGnome tasks too), and areas on the talk page for discussing the improvement and automation of the various features of portals.

Many complaints have been lodged in the RfC to delete all portals, pointing out their various problems. They say that many portals are not maintained, or have fallen out of date, are useless, etc. Many of the !votes indicate that the editors who posted them simply don't believe in the potential of portals anymore.

It's time to change all that. Let's give them reasons to believe in portals, by revitalizing them.

The best response to a deletion nomination is to fix the page that was nominated. The further underway the effort is to improve portals by the time the RfC has run its course, the more of the reasons against portals will no longer apply. RfCs typically run 30 days. There are 19 days left in this one. Let's see how many portals we can update and improve before the RfC is closed, and beyond.

A healthy WikiProject dedicated to supporting and maintaining portals may be the strongest argument of all not to delete.

We may even surprise ourselves and exceed all expectations. Who knows what we will be able to accomplish in what may become the biggest Wikicollaboration in years.

Let's do this.

See ya at the WikiProject!

Sincerely,    — The Transhumanist   10:22, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
