DYK nomination of Odeon, Kingstanding

  Hello! Your submission of Odeon, Kingstanding at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Florence Mildred White, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Frank Richardson (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Pigsonthewing: Thank you for your support in getting this article published. It is my intention to improve on it within the coming months especially with the sources issues. TimothyWF (talk) 17:42, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

@TimothyWF: My pleasure. I strongly recommend that you look at other articles of comparable length, about similar figures to get an idea of house style for tone, formatting and so on. I see you have already used the teahouse, so ask there, or here, if you need help. I'm sorry that some of our colleagues have been less then friendly when reviewing or advising on your drafts; your knowledgeable contributions are welcome and wanted.

Authority control

I appreciate that adding {{Authority control|ORCID=0000-XXXX-YYYY-ZZZZ}} to my user page was probably an experiment, but please don't do this.

  • This action potentially leaks personal information about a user without their consent.
  • Users do not get notifications of edits to their user pages (only edits to their user talke pages), so it does it in a manner hidden from the user. Once users have tens of thousands of articles on their watchlist, the chance of them noticing it there is minimal.
  • By longstanding convention users do not edit other users' user pages except to revert vandalism. There's even a Template:Userpage_warning to this effect. Editing others' user pages is frequently mentioned in a negative light in administrative actions.

If you want to promote this template, I suggest that you add a message to the users talk page with the suggested code avaliable for cut and paste but not active. Stuartyeates (talk) 19:27, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Your first bullet point is poppycock, because your ORCID page, queryable via API or database dump, on which you published your name, and (via Linked in) your affilaitions, is both public and linked by you to your Wikipedia profile, on which you also publish your name, and some of the same affiliations (as I checked before making the edit). Were your false accusation of potential outing to hold water, your closing suggestion to place the code on a talk page would be equally harmful. The template to which your third refers says "refrain from vandalising the user pages of other users, or making changes which the user indicates are unhelpful" - neither of which applied when I made the edit. You are welcome to revert the edit, as I invited you to do in my edit summary. And no, it was not an experiment. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:04, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Articles for creation/Lead Sheet Association

Hi there

Thanks for the feedback. It certainly helps to get an insight on what is needed for this article.

I can see your point, but what I was trying to do, was to establish credibility for the LSA by demonstrating how many independent, national organisations are insisting that their guidelines are used for the practice of Leadworking etc.

Unfortunately, a lot of the sources mention their use in press release type articles, although I did try to use as many references from technical docs as poss, as [like you] I felt they would be far stronger and more credible.

The LSA is a non-profit organisation, who's aim is to help Leadworkers and nationally improve the standards of Leadworking, so pls be assured this isn't an exercise in publicity for them.

Given your experience, is there any direction you can point me towards, pls, with regards to finding the types of sources you'd like to see in the article?

Appreciate your help and thanks for taking the time to read through the article.

Cheers Graham — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jumpingstone (talkcontribs) 16:25, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

@Jumpingstone: You could contact their press office; they often keep a log of media coverage. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:35, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Andy. Do you mean the LSA's press office? Their guys gave me what I used in the revision. I think they were finding it tough to get something that was a full independent review of them by an unrelated source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.240.58.58 (talk) 16:42, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Please stop

Please revert yourself and cease your out-of-process re-opening of denied BAG requests [1] [2] based on your admitted misreading of the events [3] (in edit summary).

There is a method for reviewing denied BRFAs noted at the top of the request [4] where it states "To request review of this BRFA, please start a new section at WT:BRFA".

Not only are you subverting the community consensus-based process for bot approval, you have removed Josh Parris' comment in violation of WP:TPO.

Please note that I am considering filing a request for arbitration in regards to your aggressive 'metadata'-related editing, though I would prefer not to have to go this route. –xenotalk 15:01, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

See RfC. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:04, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
You keep saying that, it doesn't change the method for bot approvals. –xenotalk 15:05, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
You keep saying that; it doesn't change the primacy of consensus expressed in RfCs. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:07, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
The Bot Approvals Group has been put in place by the community to approve or deny bots based on their reading of community consensus. As I have suggested to you, Josh Parris was in a position to review both the lightly-trafficked RFC from two years ago and the new comments from last year's BRFA and declined to approve the bot request. There are methods available for you to generate fresh consensus that may then convince Josh or another BAG member to approve a request similar to as 'Theo's Little Bot 25' (or even overturn Josh's decision), but trying to subvert the process as you are now (removing Josh's closing comment, re-opening the BRFA out-of-process, etc.) is not advisable. –xenotalk 15:12, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
BAG and its consensus doesn't outrank a community RfC closed by an uninvolved admin. I asked you for a policy stating otherwise; you provided none. We're now going round in circles. The subversion is all yours. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:43, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
@Xeno: The RfC was in the Bot Requests space at Wikipedia talk:Bot requests/Archive 2 #RFC: Deploying 'Start date' template in infoboxes. It was properly advertised and both you and Josh Parris had the opportunity to participate if you had objections, but you chose not to. The RfC was unanimously supported and closed as such by HJ Mitchell, an admin in good standing. There is no reading of that RfC that can come to any other conclusion and it is unacceptable that you or Josh Parris should try to cast a super-vote after the event and reverse an admin's clear decision. The community did not create BAG to act as a group of little dictators with powers to overturn community consensus, and you haven't been appointed to decide that there is such a thing as a "lightly-trafficked" RfC that may be ignored as you choose. You need to back off now and quit the threats - you're a long way from guiltless in this disgraceful episode. --RexxS (talk) 16:00, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
Where was it advertised? (For greater certainty, I am not acting in my capacity as a BAG member in any of my edits related to this issue.) –xenotalk 16:17, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

No, Xeno, you are a member of BAG, and you don't get to take off that hat, especially when acting controversially to assume rights for that group, which it does not and should not have. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:06, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Article on Leonard Rosen (of the law firm Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz

Andy- As you can see I am having trouble getting my short article approved. I am Leonard Rosen's son. Leonard's law partners, Martin Lipton and Herbert Wachtell, already have Wiki articles. All I am trying to do is write a short article on Leonard.

The last comment I received was that I am using Wikipedia as a source. I was not trying to do that. I was trying to insert a link to Wikipedia when I reference Martin Lipton and Herbert Wachtell.

I have included several other independent citations in the article.

Can you help me? I don't understand the citation rules (obviously).

Hi Andy, I created a list of 1,264 templates which have the 'Infobox' prefix but do not appear in the list of infoboxes. The vast majority of them are (thankfully) just misnamed sidebars (to be renamed) or hardcoded instances of another infobox (to be merged at TfD or renamed), but a few are actual infoboxes. I've already nominated some of them for deletion in today's TfD page.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 10:37, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Many of those mergers are likely to be contentious since they involve templates with very high transclusion counts ({{Infobox scientist}} has 18,000) and more in general, the standardisation process of infoboxes for biographical articles is already in advanced stage. Most of the obviously redundant infoboxes left are about sports, and they're also the largest group among newly created templates, so IMO we should focus on them.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 16:11, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
@Underlying lk: True, but it's not a binary choice, and they can be borne in mind for the future. Higher-use templates will cause proportionally higher numbers of issues for new users, wondering which to use. Most could be dealt with by making wrappers, or modules. BTW, you may also be interested in Template talk:Infobox river#Improving this template. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:03, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

Chris D.

Hi. You removed a number of films from the Chris D. infobox I created. You left this note: (ce (works are not listed as notable if there's no article)). However, half of the films you removed do in fact have a wikipedia article. As I was in the midst of working on the article when you made the roll backs and wasn't done editing, those wikilinks were not yet in place. For example, you removed: Border_Radio (a Criterion collection film incidentally) and No_Way_Out_(1987_film). As what I hope will be a suitable compromise, I will only re-add those films listed above that have their own wiki article, and leave the others, like Tweeked (1999) and Double Deception (2001), out. Of course, it goes without saying that a RS will be provided inline also (Ive already added about 10 to this article). Let me know if you have additional concerns or if this is unsatisfactory. I will be adding references not related to this on the article for a while so no need to rush. Thanks. Jay Dubya (talk) 17:27, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

My request certainly appears to have been misguided. Its having been declined by Bbb23 is, however, more an outcome of my inexperience in such procedures than a vindication of your own treatment of the subject article section, which I view as both improper and irrational.

Ben Gunn (campaigner)

Bit confused about your reversion of my edit. I changed the categories to reflect the text as it already existed. If this is not supported by the sources, then why didn't you change the text. Also, as it is now, the categories indicate both that the date of birth is missing and that it's known. Seems odd. Folks at 137 (talk) 22:46, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

You removed Category:People from Powys. The first line of the first section after the lede reads: "Gunn grew up in Ystradgynlais, Powys, South Wales". The first line of Ystradgynlais reads "...a town on the River Tawe in south west Powys, Wales". You added Category:People from Brecknockshire. The word "Brecknockshire" does not appear in the article. Category:Date of birth missing or Category:Date of birth missing (living people) are used when the date (i.e. day and month) is missing; otherwise we use Category:Year of birth missing or Category:Year of birth missing (living people). This is explained in the category documentation. As it is, the current categories reflect the fact that we only know the year of birth. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:47, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the info. Re date of birth; personally, "date" includes day, month and year, but not something I'd go to the wall about. Re location: in the article on Ystradgynlais it is stated (not in the first para, I admit) that "Ystradgynlais is one of the few areas within old Brecknockshire...". The article on Brecknockshire mentions Ystradgynlais as one of its towns. Although Brecknockshire is no longer a district or county authority, it remains as a description for part of what is a large county with many small communities. Within Powys county, a "... "Brecknockshire" area was formed under a decentralisation scheme, and a "shire committee" consisting of councillors elected for electoral divisions within the former Borough of Brecknock exercises functions delegated by Powys County Council". So, "Brecknockshire" is still definable. Also, Gunn was born while the Brecknockshire county or district still existed. I continue to argue that Category:People from Brecknockshire is appropriate for people born within the area of the former county or district, if only to be more definitive about the geographic location. Regards, Folks at 137 (talk) 18:57, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
In that case, my argument would be that both Brecknockshire and Powys categories should be used; not least as Gunn was there after 1974. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:47, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

I just wanted to reach out to you and see if indeed you could take a moment to consider the situation - which seems innocuous and not to have resulted from any lack of good faith - and assist in navigating the process for SDJ to confirm the availability of both text and pic content added to article (text and pic she created, but possibly in the capacity of her work as a technical writer for the manufacturer of the module, which others have judged to be notable and merit inclusion in Wikipedia)? I myself am really not sure of the exact process since I've never had this issue, but I've tried to facilitate a bit on SDJ's behalf, in the interests of WikiProject_Military_history & Wikipedia in general. Anyway, that's all really! Just wondering if you could share your obvious experience to help us resolve this. Thanks! JDanek007Talk 20:21, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Red telephone box, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ITV (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
