Sandboxes

Now with Oon's permanent departure, what will happen to his sandbox? Zero stylinx (talk) 03:57, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

@Zero stylinx: They’ll just sit there. You could use something from it (with attribution) if you want to. — MarkH21 (talk) 05:43, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

All I wanted to do is to take over some of his drafts. For the sandbox, at least I wanted to erase one of them because he duplicated mine a long time ago. Would that be enough?Zero stylinx (talk) 06:03, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

You might be able to find an appropriate WP:SPEEDY tag or blank it. I’m not sure though. — MarkH21 (talk) 06:19, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Blank it. I guess that's more than enough, after all, he won't be able to return to edit that thing, did he? I have that particular digital book which you demanded as an accurate source to one of his page, but for the time being, maybe I can minimize the entire content to the actual show page. On the side note, I'm going to participate in 2-3 vacations for my class projects.Zero stylinx (talk) 06:25, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

He's a terrible liar, isn't he? Looks like the admins would have a hard time with him, or he's going to create another acc.Zero stylinx (talk) 13:53, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

article

Hello. The article "David Gogichaishvili" is not wanted in Google. is there any problem?გიორგი ჩუბინიძე (talk) 08:47, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Galois axis was merged with Mccullagh ellipsoid

So you should not go back to separate a merged article into two. 46.242.8.153 (talk) 15:54, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

It seems that the article Galois axis never existed, so I don't see where the merge for MacCullagh ellipsoid was from. Either way, I wasn't thinking about splitting it. — MarkH21 (talk) 19:19, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

About an article that does not satisfy WP:Notability guidelines

An article on a physics book Problems in General Physics probably does not deserve to be an article. Author of book IE Irodov. There is nothing in the article of that importance. Please look into the matter.Lichinsol (talk) 06:43, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

@Lichinsol: Thanks for letting me know, I'll take a look. Doesn't seem notable at first glance. — MarkH21 (talk) 19:19, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

I found another such article: Concepts of Physics, a physics book of an Indian publication. Very related, both books used for preparation of the Joint Entrance Examination by Indian students. The article is poorly written-for any non-Indian reader may not understand it, though it does not deserve to be an article. This too should be considered for deletion.Lichinsol (talk) 05:19, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

@Lichinsol: Thanks. You can also nominate these articles for deletion yourself. You can find the discussions for those two articles here and here. Feel free to weigh in there. — MarkH21 (talk) 05:40, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

TnB - GMod

I've tidied up my revision to the TnB section on the Garry's Mod article - best I can scrounge at the moment. In the context of Garry's Mod, I think TnB is worth noting because of its impact and presence in the community - it wasn't a promotion. 20.138.247.64 (talk) 10:39, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

@20.138.247.64: Sorry, it’s pretty common for people to come on here to promote themselves. Regardless, the main issue is still that the added content does not have reliable sources cited. Steam community posts definitely do not count. Please read the actual policy on reliable sources at WP:RS. Even the main claim of the paragraph is lacking one: TacoNBanana (often referred to as TnB) is one of the longest-running Garry's Mod roleplay communities. YouTube an Instagram links are typically not appropriate. — MarkH21 (talk) 19:39, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Weird edits

Hi there, i got flagged recently for editing a page about a footballer, and this is fine, but I just have a concern. I have never in my life edited wikipedia, and as such I have no clue how this got pinged. I have no clue who the page pertains to on any level. Is there something weird going on here or did my phone go off in my pocket and make ninja wikipedia edits? Any light you could shed on this would be appreciated. Cheers. (PS. I have no clue how messaging on wiki works so please forgive me) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.18.0.230 (talk) 07:28, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Edit to add:

I found the edit but that was defintely not me or anyone who should have my network credentials. Either someone is spoofing my IP or my network is compromised. Thanks for the message - it's let me know about a potential breach. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.18.0.230 (talk) 07:44, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Kevin Callahan wiki page

Hi MarkH21, Got your message re: Callahan page. No conflict of interest. Article based on a magazine interview I did with Callahan. XQJ46 (talk) 22:34, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

@XQJ46: Keep in mind Wikipedia guidelines on self-citing, and cite material from the interview using footnotes to specific appropriate sources (not a vague “an interview with X”). The material has to be verifiable by others. — MarkH21 (talk) 22:41, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi MarkH21, The original wiki page for Callahan was completely inaccurate and unture. Also filled with poor grammar and poor spelling. An embarrassment to the subject. Since my corrections are not suitable, I must request the entire page be removed except for the opening line, "Kevin Callahan is an American composer, educator, and guitarist from Seattle, Washington," as that is the only verifiable and true statement from the original entry.

Page deletion

I would like to delete some of Oon's draft pages because he made them with hesitation, also because I wanted to recreate the actual page from scratch. How should I delete draft pages since they are not like normal articles? Zero stylinx (talk) 04:50, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

You can nominate them for deletion via WP:MfD or wait until 6 months have passed since the last meaningful edit after which you can tag it for speedy deletion under WP:G13. You could also just work on the drafts directly. — MarkH21 (talk) 04:54, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

November 2019

Hi Mark, apologies for the confusion with regards to minor edits. I usually only edit formatting, or for example in the Bank of East Asia page, I just moved the dates from the beginning of the sentence to the end; I didn't change the dates, but just reordered them, hence I thought it was a minor edit. CityPride (talk) 03:11, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

@CityPride: Many of your edits add content or references, such as this one on Bank of East Asia. Adding/removing content, references, and categories are example of edits that cannot be marked as minor. Please carefully read the guidelines on minor edits. If in doubt, just don’t mark your edits as minor. — MarkH21 (talk) 04:43, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Corey Baker

Hello there! I've been trying to add a page for the choreographer Corey Baker, and see that others have now done the same.

There are two drafts in progress on him, and from the chat on the latest draft I can see you've been involved in the edit process - I wondered what I could do to get things moving? SarahForty (talk) 22:28, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

@SarahForty: There are two? To my knowledge, there is just Draft:Corey Baker (choreographer). You can just edit it directly. If you feel that it is a well-developed article at some point, you can submit the draft for review via the large “Submit for review!” button at the top of the draft. — MarkH21 (talk) 22:33, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Ah I see now that there is Draft:Corey Baker which was un-deleted recently. I’d suggest merging anything useful in that draft to Draft:Corey Baker (choreographer) (since there already exists a different Corey Baker) following the merging procedure and then developing the draft there. — MarkH21 (talk) 22:40, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi there Mark - yes you're right, one remains! There was a draft one which was more comprehensive but it was removed. I'll take a look at this new one as I see it is unlikely to be granted a permanent page as it stands. Appreciate your help,

Commissioner of Police (Hong Kong)

Hi Mark,

Two quick things I have an issue with regarding your latest edits:

1) When stating a full name (English and Chinese), the proper way is "Eddie Hui Ki-on", and not "Eddie Ki-on Hui". This is the standard for both journalists and government documents, including recent announcements on the appointment of Chris Tang.

2) Birthdays were taken directly from the Chinese Wikipedia site and hence should be reinstated.

Regards, CityPride (talk) 08:31, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

@CityPride: Regarding the name order, I see now that local sources use this name order. This seems contrary to most customs regarding people with both Chinese & English names, since the family name occurring in between both the given names is ambiguous, but the sources do support the usage here (maybe it’s a Hong Kong-specific thing?). Government sources don't seem to use the order much though, e.g. the government website lists "Tang Ping-keung, Chris". I don't see why the common name (i.e. the article title) should not be used though.

Regarding the birth dates, there always must be an attributed reliable source. If there are reliable sources from the Chinese article that you can move over then do so, but if not then it cannot be introduced here. If something is unsourced on the Chinese site, you can’t just add the unsourced claims here too. — MarkH21 (talk) 08:38, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

@MarkH21: It is indeed a Hong Kong specific thing, and was strange to me at first as well. But even the police website, "Tang Ping-keung, Chris", as there is a comma there, it implies that the full name (without the comma) would be listed as Chris Tang Ping-keung. An example of the name without a comma would be like the website of the Court of Final Appeal: [1]

And even in Chris Tang's newly created Wiki page (along with the pages of the other Commissioners) the name is displayed that way. Wondering if you mind I changed it back?

Regarding birthdays, agreed, will source them before I add them back. Thanks!

CityPride (talk) 08:55, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

@CityPride: It would be better than the currently displayed format, but I still think that the WP:COMMONNAME (i.e. the article title) would be more appropriate than the full name, as is used in other articles (e.g. the List of presidents of the United States does not list Barack Obama as "Barack Hussein Obama II"). In this case for instance, the list should just include "Stephen Lo" as opposed to "Stephen Lo Wai-chung". Even the rest of the Commissioner of Police (Hong Kong) article follows this usage with "Eddie Hui" and "Raymon Anning" instead of "Eddie Hui Ki-on" and "Raymon Harry Anning". — MarkH21 (talk) 09:35, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Sir. Vassel Johnson - Notable Caymanians - Cayman Islands

Sir. Vassel Johnson was added to notable Caymanian list but was removed. His name needs to be added back to that list. Truth be told he is one of the most important notable Caymanian's to be on the list. Fyi yes they named one of the University Halls after him. He was Army Home Guard in Cayman during WW2 he was Financial Secretary of Cayman he was a Politician in Cayman and he was the first and only Caymanian to be knighted by H.M. Queen Elizabeth II. He helped build Cayman international recognition. I'm surprised to the fact he has not been on the notable Caymanian's list from before. ~~Scottish Caymanian~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scottish Caymanian (talk • contribs) 13:42, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

@Scottish Caymanian: A subject needs an existing article on them to be added to “Notable X” lists, whereas there is no article on Vassel Johnson.

Should you wish to create an article, be aware that the Wikipedia notability guidelines determine whether an article should exist for someone. If the subject does not clearly meet any of the guideline criteria, the article will be subject to deletion.

Textbook template

Hi. I just saw your recent edits on the SU(3) Clebsch article (with which I fully agree), and further in Representation theory of the Lorentz group. The template of the latter is accurate, of course, but it can be easily misconstrued by experts who cannot stand obvious trivialities. The fact is, however, that, having sent generations of desperate students to this article, and witnessed their delight, I've come to appreciate that a bit of a simulacrum of a textbook might not be a bad thing: readers go to it more often to learn than to review what they already know.

I watched the heroic editor who put it together from some distance as he was doing it, and I think he did a good job not assuming too much. It could, and should, be improved, of course, but not at the expense of dropping introductory material that overwhelmed or unmotivated, or lazy, students do not know where else to go for. I suspect if you perused that article's statistics you might appreciate its success. So, even if the template should be salutary, maybe we should all make sure it only leads to dropping resolutely superfluous stuff. It has been the go-to tutorial for generations of students. Cuzkatzimhut (talk) 22:26, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

@Cuzkatzimhut: Hi! I appreciate your detailed comments on this. The issue is the writing style moreso than the content of Representation theory of the Lorentz group (and some related articles). The article can retain its educational value without its prose being self-referential or first/second-person. I think that this can be fixed without any change to its usefulness to students. I might work to change the writing style to present the same facts in a third-person encyclopedic tone (so mostly superficial). That's the main aim of the template.

On the side though, I do think that some large sections of background already contained in other articles may need to be dropped (particularly in the first section "Non-technical introduction to representation theory" which really should be reserved only for survey articles, notes, and textbooks...). — MarkH₂₁^talk 05:47, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

Full agreement on style, but I’d argue for condensing, not dropping background... students won’t go to other articles. They welcome a survey... They are mostly QFT students. Mathematically adept readers may always skip the stuff.Cuzkatzimhut (talk) 11:08, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

Article review request

I've completely revamped the article Police misconduct allegations during the 2019 Hong Kong protests. Can you please take a look at it and remove the NPOV tag if you think it's ok. Thanks. -- Ohc ^¡digame! 07:55, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

@Ohconfucius: Thanks for your work on the article! It definitely looks improved. I’ll take a more thorough look in the coming days and reconsider the tag accordingly. — MarkH₂₁^talk 12:12, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

@Ohconfucius: Just letting you know that I haven't forgotten about this; part of the delay is that there's quite a bit to go through! As a preliminary remark, I am still finding some instances of sources being slightly misrepresented in tone or presented as matter-of-fact in WP voice. These will need to be carefully adjusted to accurately reflect the original sources’ meanings.

On a related note, I think it might be worth limiting the allegations included to those with reports by at least two separate reliable sources. Otherwise, the criteria for inclusion is weak enough for loose speculation that may detract from the more serious allegations and contribute to the wall-of-text effect. — MarkH₂₁^talk 10:22, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

Re article Omer Tarin

Hello MarkH21, regarding the article Omer Tarin, I am sorry but I disagree with your recent edit/removal today. I dont think it is about religion, Omer Tarin is a noted poet and a mystic /Sufi and his poetry is centered around his mystic philosophy and I think that he mentions this himself in his various texts and interviews. In addition, his Sufism is central to his work, poetic and social and inextricably linked. If it's ok, I shall re add the note or edit/rewrite ? Regards AsadUK200 (talk) 20:38, 5 January 2020 (UTC){{AsadUK200))

His notability is not from him being a Sufi, but from his Sufi-inspired poetry - this is an important distinction. Perhaps Sufi poet would be a more accurate description. As a side note, him mentioning this has little value; we should be using secondary descriptions rather than primary descriptions. — MarkH₂₁^talk 21:50, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Centuries/millenia distinctions

We've already made such distinctions clear in the articles for the 21st century, the 20th century, the 2nd millennium the 3rd millennium, and so on. So I'm wondering why they were deemed unnecessary for the articles I've edited, but not the aforementioned ones. SillySympathy3 (talk) 11:49, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

@SillySympathy3: That's a fair point. I'm leaning towards it being unnecessary in all of those articles, but I'll start a talk page post asking for consensus first since those articles have heavier traffic. — MarkH₂₁^talk 12:00, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

This page captures one of the pioneering podcasts in an emerging industry. While largely ignored by traditional media sources, those who follow podcasting and specifically track trends in outdoor leisure/sports genre, will largely point to Scott Kummer, and by extension Ten Junk Miles, as a pioneering thought leader in the genre. Mr. Kummer's leadership has led to many in outdoor sports and leisure mirroring his format and style. Deleting this page would risk loosing a piece of the early history of a thought leader in an emerging field. --Dkhale (talk) 19:45, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

Wkkipedia is not for cataloging what might become important in the future or preserving the early history of niche subjects that aren’t covered by media / academic sources. Please read the notability guidelines for what notability here means. — MarkH₂₁^talk 20:13, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted

Hi MarkH21. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encylopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:

• Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. Barkeep49 (talk) 19:28, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

Page mover granted

Hello, MarkH21. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Useful links:

• Wikipedia:Requested moves
• Category:Articles to be moved, for article renaming requests awaiting action.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Primefac (talk) 23:50, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I just added a keep vote on the AfD you started for her. I wanted to add here that my response in the AfD is in no way a criticism of you - I can see how it might be interpreted as such! I understand the rationale behind the nom and it has a perfectly solid basis. Perhaps it's just a subject area (women's cricket) where I'd be inclined to be a little more lenient when it comes to notability because of some of the wider gender-related issues surrounding the sport. Maybe that's not a good enough reason for voting to keep, perhaps it is, I don't know - but it was a decision I had to think about for a while before I made it.

@Blue Square Thing: Thanks for the message and carefully thought out position! I don’t honestly know much about the professional cricket world, and I just stumbled across the article and applied the existing cricket notability guideline and GNG based on past consensus. The leniency and flexibility, particularly when dealing with systemic bias, is certainly a reasonable and positive stance.

From my perspective, she plays in a (relatively) poorly-covered league and the B national team in a shortened version of the sport, so it seems reasonable to me that she would fail the SNG. Defaulting to GNG, she falls just short for me. However, I can certainly see your position and thank you for carefully explaining it. I don’t take any offense and I wouldn’t be displeased if the AfD went either way. — MarkH₂₁^talk 09:58, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Greetings MarkH21. I noticed several edits from you and Marco60cr. While I do really appreciate your attempt to improve my article, I feel your edits specifically have oversimplified my article. It seems to me that you did not read the references carefully. I do understand that you are a Veteran Editor, but possibly not en EDA Veteran. Tdk20063 (talk) 10:05, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

@Tdk20063: Content was removed where it was not verified by a reliable source. There was a lot of content with no citation whatsoever and a lot of content where there were citations for minor details but no references for the main claims. Wikipedia's verifiability policy is of paramount importance. — MarkH₂₁^talk 10:12, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
