User talk:Mz7/March–May 2018

2918:

punctuation exists, but it seems to me you have interpreted this strictly. For the sentence in question, for example, the period comes at the end of the sentence. The thing that editors should worry about for that sentence is to not have a reference placed directly before the comma or the period to come directly after a reference. It doesn't mean that a reference shouldn't go after a part it directly supports. So the following would be incorrect: "achieving ratings of 47% and 4.5/10, respectively." So would this: "achieving ratings of 47% and 4.5/10, respectively." But I don't see that this next piece (what you changed) was incorrect: "achieving ratings of 47% and 4.5/10, respectively." I'm not too bothered by the edit you made. Looks-wise, I prefer the references to be like that as well. It's your rationale that I questioned. Maybe it's something we should ask about at the WP:Manual of Style talk page.

9378: 8757: 9490:. To my talk page watchers, let me know if it's dumb, and feel free to add your own tips if you feel there's something I left out. Ultimately, I think this is targeted at editors who have been here for a while, but are just starting to branch out into some of the more confrontational areas of the project, such as ANI or controversial topic areas. It's also targeted at editors who feel so discouraged by the stress involved with participating here that they are considering leaving Knowledge completely. The advice in the essay is probably things that most of us have heard a million times, and a lot of it is probably naive, but these are the words that I live by as I continue editing here, and I guess I wanted to share it with others. 8581:. Five people in the discussion opposed merging the article and 2 people (three if you count the submitter) wanted to merge it. It seems as if the people trying to delete the article are so desperate towards doing so, that they have to go as far as to possibly forum shopping. What i'm trying to say is that the majority of people want to keep the article, not merge or redirect or delete it and that nominating the article for a merger less than half a day after the deletion discussion closed is considered forum-shopping, then close the discussion immediately. We don't want a deletion and/or merger war to happen because of this article being considered "Non-notable" by some. 6748: 7667: 6498: 3008: 2806: 259: 31: 62: 6488: 2990: 248: 6675: 445: 5475: 6863:, inviting the IP editor to the discussion. Once it is clear that a consensus exists for either one of your positions, even if it is something like two editors against one, then it is much easier for an administrator to justify something like a block. As it stands, without a clear consensus, it would be hard for me to block for disruption because that would look like me taking a side in the debate and using admin tools to enforce my personal views – a violation of 4926: 6652: 3118: 9782: 9746: 9699: 9636: 8673: 7922: 7103: 7080: 7005: 6393: 6345: 6277: 6258: 6204: 5302: 4862: 4849: 4809: 4737: 4320: 3468: 3438: 3363: 3346: 3320: 3259: 2079: 2016: 1501: 1103: 1042: 623: 565: 9741: 9725: 9683: 8668: 8645: 7917: 7894: 7075: 7059: 7036: 6340: 6324: 6301: 5297: 5281: 5258: 4804: 4788: 4765: 4315: 4299: 4271: 3433: 3417: 3304: 2074: 2058: 2035: 1493: 1470: 1087: 1064: 607: 584: 1184: 7566: 1823: 6568: 3091: 355: 3153: 392: 8470:. Second, yes I agree with you I did generalized "Vice Chancellor" post in my reply, and this was done subconsciously due to my background. I do try to learn and adapt to international nuances and subtleties when speaking/writing but sometimes one cannot help. So actually my usage of VC in that context is only meant for those who are holding it as the highest position, not anything else. I hope I clarify myself. Thanks. – 6537: 3035: 303: 1277: 1786:. Looking at the edit summaries from this IP address, it's pretty clear that this is the same person who was blocked previously and I don't think that collateral damage is going to be an issue here. In that light, I would have figured that a longer block duration would be in order (anywhere from 1 to 3 months, give or take), and that they'll just come back soon after the short 31 hour block expires. Regards. 6081:

page later on but can you help me with something else? 'Dubai Properties' had their own WikiPedia page but someone merged/deleted the page in 2013 with the Dubai Properties Group Page. Is there a way I can bring the Dubai Properties page back and/or un-merge it? They need this back, my plan was just to amend the Dubai Properties Group page but if we can bring their old page back that would be great.

9463: 2233: 902: 4517: 6383: 2185: 6477: 2979: 237: 6469: 2971: 229: 8249: 8062: 7787: 5936: 5089: 4085: 3680: 3655: 2399: 1247: 5428:. The one thing that I don't quite agree with is protecting the talk page. Since TPA for the account has already been revoked, that should be enough to stop them from editing the talk page. If the user uses IPs or alternative accounts to evade the block to edit the talk page, then we could consider semi-protection then, but until that happens, I don't think protection is necessary per 7195: 7467:. On Knowledge, repeatedly reversing each other's edits due to a disagreement is generally seen as disruptive to the normal editorial process. Instead of repeatedly reversing, you need to discuss the changes you want to be made with the editors involved in the disagreement. I personally do not have any opinion on this issue; instead, you should explain your reasoning at 3746:. The block was first and foremost for its harassment of Acroterion. Before blocking, I took a cursory look through the revision history of Acroterion's user talk page, and I could see a pattern of similar harassment, which is why the block reason says "abusing multiple accounts". Here are a few accounts that recently harassed Acroterion with similar language: 8349:, you have deleted the title the lake of evidence and proof. But now it have so popular on internet and full of evidence, about to release indian cinema on 8 June 2018 so i think starting creation about this title, This title is not related to me any angle i am only say based on its popularity and i found internet its have no Knowledge so i tell. 4943:. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Knowledge. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Knowledge (see 9548:, welcome to Knowledge! I noticed that you haven't edited Knowledge using this account before. The course is designed for users with at least some amount of editing experience, so I would recommend that you spend some time and edit some articles yourself before taking this course. You can find more information about contributing at 5040:. I generally take a loose definition of “merge” at AfD; it is ultimately an editorial decision what content should be merged, and if everything in an article is unsourced, I’ve observed that many “merge” outcomes are practically synonymous with “redirect”. I’ve gone ahead and redirected the article on that basis. 6831:

in the city served by the airport. For another, the airport was established in 1943, a full 25 years after the area was no longer part of the Kingdom of Hungary, so it has never been under Hungarian administration. Finally, there is, as far as I can tell, no provision under Romanian law for referring

Thank you for the quick response Mz7. I am currently working with Dubai Properties as their Digital Media Agency and they have tasked me with making the updates on their behalf. Okay, question for you. Dubai Properties Group is still showing on their website (for now) we will most probably close this

6060:

I'm not familiar with the subject of the article, but looking at the company's website, it seems "Dubai Properties Group" still exists as a parent entity to "Dubai Properties". If the article was originally about "Dubai Properties Group", shouldn't it stay about Dubai Properties Group? On a different

On April 11th, we plan to turn off Tidy on all wikis with less than 50 entries in all high priority linter categories. About 60 wikis will have Tidy replaced. Currently about 600 wikis have had Tidy replaced and we have another 300 wikis to go. We plan to finish this transition from Tidy to RemexHtml

2878:

Hi Flyer22. I'm happy to clarify. I don't think I've introduced new punctuation where it doesn't belong here; I've simply shifted the Rotten Tomatoes citation to the end of the sentence after the period. It's simply out-of-style for a citation not to follow punctuation, as it disrupts the flow of the

One thing that I think you should keep in mind is that the editor community here is generally leery about companies who try to edit their own articles, because oftentimes they end up adding content that is inadvertently too promotional. If "Dubai Properties Group" is changing into "Dubai Properties"

That being said, Acroterion is an administrator who I'm sure could have attracted the ire of multiple different sockmasters, so it is not immediately clear whether these are all one person or more. Just scroll through the revision history, and I'm positive you can find more instances, including some

that led to the report, and I do remember making one. Since there are no edits showing on that article for the last 4 months I would not have seen the article or the editor on my recent changes patrol if the history were correct.. No biggie. I'll check the history in a few days just for my peace of

Mz7 Hasanbegovic was born in Bosnia to Bosniak parents. His mother for example is from a place where there were almost no Croats. In Croatia he is a member of several Bosniak organizations. Beacause of influences of Ante Starcevic and WW2 (need to know Croatian history) he declares as Croat. He can

Well, after some days of going back and forth on this issue, 82.40.206.32 and I seem to have agreed on all the airports but one. Specifically, it looks like we're going by Romanian legislation, only including the Hungarian name for the three airports located in cities where ethnic Hungarians exceed

2939:

Ah, I see. That's really interesting – I can see how my interpretation of the guideline may be too strict. Thanks for pointing that out. I've noticed that generally citations only follow punctuation in articles with few exceptions, which what I thought the guideline was referring to. However, after

820:

I can understand what you guys are saying. But the problem is, I've been creating articles on military/intel persons. And these guys are not exactly "famous", nor have coverage like film actors or some attention seeking persons. So finding their exact DOB/DOD is sort of difficult. The official/govt

has dropped back to the levels during the trial. However, the backlog is on the rise again so please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day; a backlog approaching 5,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do

From 9 April, the sort order of categories will be distorted for a short time. We are upgrading versions of an internationalisation library (ICU) and using a maintenance script to update existing database entries. This will last anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on wiki size. Read

I'd say "probably not" on legacy.com. It appears to be a database of obituaries, and you can typically find obituaries in more reliable publications, such as newspapers or a library database. My thoughts on including dates of birth and full names align with Ritchie333's; I also tend to err on the

on the talk page. Ultimately, I'm not sure. I think that the subject is noteworthy enough that an article about the season is probably going to be justified. We do now have episode names, a release date, and a more detailed cast list, which is an improvement over what we had in January, but that

5423:

I don't have any loud objections to revoking TPA expeditiously in this case. I also got the sense that we were getting trolled here, and reading over their most recent unblock request, it seems clear that at the very least, they still do not actually understand why their edits were problematic:

5120:

This is the only way i could ask something. I think My article On the Australian Spinosaurid was fine as it was. I did not want it taken down so quickly as i was waiting for some rumored new fossil metrical of certain dinosaurs to come in. Sorry if i sound a bit rushed i am in School right now.

7284:

You are right. My actions against Boisityourselfdown were inexcusable. It just angered me so to see his craven vandalizations against an important discussion on a website with millions of dedicated users working to make it an excellent factual resource. People like him don't help, but still, I

had a problem with blocks where you had changed how long they last. It used the default length everywhere. This was in late April. Abuse filter users should make sure the right block length is used and change them if needed. This is only for filters where how long blocks last had been changed.

2917:

Thanks for explaining. I wasn't stating that you introduced new punctuation; I was simply stating that punctuation does not need to exist for a reference to go after a word. What WP:REFPUNCT and CITEFOOT are stating is that we typically should not have a punctuation come after a reference when

6854:

Ah yeah, edit warring is not an optimal solution. Generally, the solution is to stop reverting and start a discussion with the user and try to form a consensus (the argument that you just gave me – have you told it to the IP yet?), but what will probably be better in this case is to start the

5043:

Reading the discussion, my understanding is that the topics are clearly linked, and absent a consensus to delete, I saw this as the most natural compromise solution that reflects the consensus of the discussion. Redirects are cheap, and we don’t necessarily require that the redirect title be

5014:

You closed this as Merge, but I was under the impression that we typically do not merge unsourced info. The entire article is unsourced but obviously came from the one external link, to a primary source, which appears to have since been redirected from coppersquare.com to dtphx.org (downtown

Tag filter titles will now work better on wikis where the tag filter title is in a language that is written in another direction than the language of that wiki. This could for example be an English title (written from left to right) on a Hebrew or an Arabic wiki (written from right to left).

8465:

The discussion was closed before I could reply, but your comment is worth replying. First the sentence I quoted actually has anything to do with what you said, above all what I quoted is preamble to wait you quoted which is in bulleted list. I don't know why you claim they are not related

6404:. It will happen on 2 May. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Wikibooks wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in the main namespace will switch on 9 May. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. 4221:

that reloads the block if the user changes their IP. This means in most cases, you may no longer need to do /64 range blocks on residential IPv6 addresses in order to effectively block the end user. It will also help combat abuse from IP hoppers in general. This currently only

You will not be allowed to insert the category into the article unless and until a consensus exists among editors to add the category. As long as there is disagreement, the article must remain in the state it was before the disagreement – in this case, without the category.

Thank you for assisting in stopping a persistent disruptive editor by implementing a range block. Evaluating the situation and discussing the best response is often an important process for admins. Also, thank you for making yourself available on IRC and ready to step in.

Some rare invisible Unicode characters have recently been banned from page titles. This includes soft hyphens (U+00AD) and left-to-right (U+2066) and right-to-left (U+2067) isolate markers. Existing pages with these characters will soon be moved by a script.

To answer your question in a general sense, Knowledge administrators have the discretion to delete pages unilaterally (that is, without the need for discussion) if they meet one or more of a specific set of criteria. You can find these criteria at 9793:. It will happen on 30 May and 13 June. Wikis with fewer than 100 linter issues in the main namespace in all high-priority linter categories will switch. This includes Wikidata. Tidy will probably be removed on all wikis in the first week of July. 9265:

The deprecated #toc and #toctitle CSS ids have been removed. If your wiki was still using these for fake Tables of Content (ToC) then these might lose their styling. They can be replaced with .toc and .toctitle classes where appropriate.
