Alexander Wood

Just to fill you in, regarding your talk page comments from a couple of months ago at Talk:Alexander Wood (merchant): per the Dictionary of Canadian Biography entry, I was able to confirm that whoever originally added that statement simply linked to the wrong John Beverley Robinson in error; his father, Sir John Robinson, 1st Baronet, of Toronto, also has the middle name Beverley, was born in 1791 and already had a close professional association with William Dummer Powell even though he wasn't actually a political officeholder yet.

Better source request for File:Hofacker.gif

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

File:Hofacker.gif

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. czar · · 07:48, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Kleingladenbach.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Kleingladenbach.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

For future reference, please see Wp:BRD if one of your bold edits is reverted. Don't just re-revert: go to the talk page. - SchroCat (talk) 17:34, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Since you so jealously guard all the James Bond articles as if you own them, it hardly seems worth the trouble to argue over one word when I know from previous experience that you are completely unreasonable, have no respect for our language and will oppose any effort to improve the English in any one of your precious articles. Scrutinize others' deeds, yet offer understanding. I think that's what I'd say.Kelisi (talk) 18:09, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That old chestnut – "WP:OWN". As an outsider looking in, SchroCat could easily teach you a thing or two about the English language. Instead of carping about it, indulge in the advice given. -- Cassianto ^Talk 06:44, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As an outsider looking in who has awarded Gavin a barnstar, I think you mean. Outsider, indeed. I'm an English teacher, and holder of a degree in language, including linguistics, grammar, phonetics and phonology and semantics in three languages. Not many people here could easily teach me a thing or two about the English language. As for being a "chestnut" ("an old or stale joke" -- Collins; "a subject, idea, or joke that has been discussed or repeated so often that it is not funny any more" -- Cambridge), it's no joke, and never has been. Nobody owns any article.Kelisi (talk) 14:50, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please get over yourself. -- Cassianto ^Talk 14:55, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Gavin has posted his name on his userpage. Your award is in the history logs. I don't know which of those you meant, but I rather think your issue has more to do with you being caught in a bit of hypocrisy. Take your own advice, please.Kelisi (talk) 15:14, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Einollen

Many thanks for your extensive notes on Einollen. I have tracked down my ancestors to this area. They came to Australia in the 1850's and I hope to visit Einollen in the next few weeks looking for traces of them (Werner and Schuster). I was a bit depressed to see that the only famous person from the area was a Nazi rascist called Hermann Gauch! Is that the best the area can offer? Camerojo (talk) 07:02, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(Not sure if this is where I should post my reply). My ancestor, Jacob Werner, was indeed a musician. He was in the Bavarian army but deserted, eventually making his way to Liverpool where he signed on as musician on a ship to Australia in 1855. He was born in Oberweiler-Tiefenbach (and it seems I have you to thank for that page as well!) in 1829. He and other members of his family were christened in the church of Einollen. I was hoping to find some birth/christening and other records in Einollen and Oberweiler-Tiefenbach - perhaps also some gravestones or cemetery records. Also I am interested in tracking down any remote cousins - descendants of those Werners who may have stayed in the region.

You name the mayors of the villages. I was thinking of trying to contact them before we go by means of an email in German, but not sure how best to reach them. Do you think that is a good idea? I presume you also have some connection with the area - is that the case?

By the way, my wife, who will be traveling with me, is an archaeologist and very interested in the Roman connections you mention in Trier. Thank you for that recommendation. Camerojo (talk) 23:17, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:Hofacker.gif

Thank you for uploading File:Hofacker.gif. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Stefan2 (talk) 00:18, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:HansvDohnanyi.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:HansvDohnanyi.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 00:20, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Calabogie

Hi. I've deleted your addition of unsourced WP:OR at the article for Best Damn Fiddler.... I'm not familiar with the film, really, but there is a comment on the film page from one user that the film was partly shot near "Calabogie." That aside, it seems like a fairly trivial point, anyway, as it's merely the title for a fictional work, not a documentary about either community.

Autism as a mental disorder

I don't consider autism to be a disorder of any kind, being a person who is autistic. However, the DSM considers autism to be one. To be specific, they merged classical, Asperger's and PDD-NOS into one. I received a diagnosis of ASD and ADHD under the DSM-5. Besides, even if the DSM didn't consider it be a mental disorder, most people do and that is why neurodiversity activists are fighting against.

Good job on the copyedit on Bering Strait crossing. That page has been on my mental "to-do" list for some time, but was pretty low on my priority list; I was glad to see your improvements to it when they popped up on my watch list. I did notice that you don't seem to care for the word via and changed it twice. I guess it doesn't really matter, both via and through can be used as prepositions to mean "by means of".

Gundagai diacritic

While you have fixed a diacritic, that didn't really need fixing, as it is covered by the disam page already in place, so while your talk page is littered with examples of not using disam pages, you have correctly fixed one, even though the Wp page on disam says to not only just fix one if that's all you're doing. They matter, but not enough when the link goes to wher it is supposed to go to anyway. Dave Rave (talk) 06:58, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea what the point of your message is, but my insertion of an umlaut was one of several edits I did yesterday at various articles as part of a housekeeping sweep that I do every now and then to deal with lazy users who couldn't be bothered to put the umlaut in the name Köppen; "Koppen" is simply wrong. His name was Köppen; he pronounced it like that. I'll just repeat the message that I commonly put in the summary slot when I do this: Diacritics matter. And they do, too. By the way, I see that your own Talk page is "littered" with one general kind of message; so no stone throwing in vitreous structures, eh? Kelisi (talk) 16:33, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Small world?

I was checking through my watchlist and saw your edit on Georgina River and was surprised to see the citation coming from my Renamed Places in Queensland webpage. I'm glad someone finds it useful (it's a never-ending task, it seems our ancestors couldn't resist renaming/misnaming/duplicating everything they could). If you ever don't find what you are looking for on that webpage, send me an email (it's on the page or talk to me on-wiki) and I will see if I can help. And thank you for your work on improving Queensland articles! Kerry (talk) 06:47, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing is turning up for me on Chollarton (or variant spellings) in my various databases. I think the document we want to see is this map. Alas it is about 1700km south of me! But I shall make some enquiries. Kerry (talk) 15:50, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Using our "Ask a Librarian" service (reference inquiries), I have requested that the State Library of Victoria (who hold a copy of the map mentioned above) check it for any indication of the location of Chollarton. Fingers crossed that they are willing to do it and that Chollarton is marked on it. It can take a couple of weeks for these enquiries, so we have to be patient. 03:05, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

No joy. SLV were very kind and scanned the map for me but it turns out it is the same map as already appears in the article. So Chollarton remains a mystery. Kerry (talk) 02:35, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

compass directions NbW etc

I just noticed your recent edit to Collingwood, Queensland and was surprised to see NbW etc as directions. After some searching I found its meaning. I'm not sure how many people use this form in Australian English (I did a bit of a search and could not find any examples of it, but then I can't find Australian documents that use 32 compass points for any purpose). I guess I am concerned that the article will be less accessible to readers if the notation is unfamiliar. Kerry (talk) 05:39, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not disputing that it's the right name, but as a piece of terminology that nobody seems to use (e.g. most references to NbW on Wikipedia aare to Nebelwerfer weapon model numbers), I'm just not sure what use it is to the readers. Maybe if you linked any of these "by" directions to Points of the compass#32-wind compass points, it would at least help the reader figure it out. But looking at the table, I honestly think you could just approximate them to the better known 16 compass points, e.g. Albrighton appears to be NNW to my eye. Kerry (talk) 07:37, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, you mention that the Bing maps shows the streets in Collingwood. It doesn't show all of them. If you want to see the streets and the individual land parcels that were surveyed for the town (which all still exist as it seems nobody's bothered to aggregate them), you need to download the Queensland Globe (which is just a tiny XML file) and open it from within Google Earth. Then turn on the Land Parcel Boundaries in the Layers menu (left-side bar) on Google Earth. Details are here. It's *the* tool for anyone working with Qld geography; I have it running all the time when I am working on Wikipedia. The only problem is that while the Qld Globe layers are CC-BY, the underlying imagery is copyright, so you can't take screenshots for use on Wikipedia (which is a great pity).

I find it amusing that you claim that adding a maintenance tag was "pointless" while at the same time, because of said tag, you made a change which improved the article. Happy editing! DonIago (talk) 02:52, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Recommendation for German-English translations

Dear Kelisi,

I'm astonished by the work you have done in regards to German municipalities.

One thing to note: For translations from German to English and vice versa I'd strongly recommend using dict.cc over leo as only they do know the correct English translation for Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz.

Best regards from Germany — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4C80:40:40A:BACA:3AFF:FE76:2120 (talk) 07:19, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edits to Bruce McArthur

Thank-you very much for your recent edits to Bruce McArthur! I have comments on a few of your choices. BTW, I'd wanted to avoid being overly formal with the language and was trying to stick with plain English for the average reader.

strangling → throttling. I feel that strangling might be an easier word for most readers.
because her data were academic Here I felt data is used as a mass noun and unquantifiable (like water), and that treating it as a singular works better.
told him that that was no place to be gay I'll think about a rephrase to avoid that that.
who → whom. There is a movement in plain English to do away with whom. I don't particularly care for that, but it apparently confuses some readers.
I don't think there's any reason to replace html entities (eg: –) with unicode characters.
excavating at 3 properties → three. Normally small numbers are expressed as words instead of numerals. One of the exceptions to this is when numbers may be compared, in which case numbers should all be in the same format (words or numerals). That paragraph has other numbers (30, 75, 100) which the 3 could be compared to. So I feel it's better to have it as a numeral.
most prolific known serial killer. You removed a hyphen in most-prolific. This is a compound modifier and MOS recommends hyphenating these for clarity. I feel the hyphenated version is less demanding on the reader. Serial killer might also be hyphenated but I think most readers are familiar with that term. It may be more obvious with male sex worker which is ambiguous without the hyphen. (Is it a male prostitute, or a "worker" who is of the "male sex"?)
amyl nitrate -Should this read "nitrite"?- One source says to possess amyl nitrates or "poppers," another took poppers, amyl nitrate, though I see the Wikipedia article says it belongs to a class called "alkyl nitrites" which I take to be an over-encompassing chemical group.
cafe → café I would rather not use accents on loanwords. I don't believe there is any confusion to what a cafe (unaccented) is.
f-- fa-ots → fucking fagots. The Bowdlerism is part of a published quote and I feel that it should be reproduced as published.

Also thanks for a lot of the useful linking you added! – Reidgreg (talk) 16:46, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:HansvDohnanyi.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:HansvDohnanyi.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Altogether

Although I agree that "altogether" has a different meaning from "all together", in most of the instances of the change you have been making, I think "altogether" was the intended meaning, and the changes you have made were unhelpful. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:22, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Altogether, 35 civilians were killed and only the château was left standing." — I would say that contention is a little incomprehensible. It is being used there to indicate a sum ("35 civilians"), and I hardly believe that it means that they were killed outright instead of being gravely wounded.

No, I am pretty sure the "all told" meaning was intended here, not the "utterly" meaning. Kelisi (talk) 17:57, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"It is uncommon in western Africa where it usually occurs in small groups, but more plentiful, with large colonies, in eastern Africa. It is also common in southern Asia, but altogether its numbers seem to be declining." I don't think we agree on this one. Perhaps it is a British / American usage problem. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:25, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Altogether vs All together

I have noticed that you are continuing to vandalize Wikipedia, incorrectly changing "altogether" where used correctly by previous authors to "all together" in dozens of articles. Those words do not mean what you think they mean! Briefly, "Altogether" means:

Completely
All things considered
In sum
Collectively
On the whole
Once all is said and done

While "all together" refers to:

People all together in one place at one time
Things all together in one place at one time
Referring to or addressing a group as one

I appreciate your enthusiasm in mass-correcting articles on Wikipedia, but before pursuing such an endeavor, please ensure that you correctly understand what you are doing. I suggest that you go back and fix the articles where you incorrectly changed the wording in this way. If this problem continues, I will be escalating it for administrative review. Here are a couple resources for you to review to help confirm what I am conveying:

Just checking to make sure I'm not crazy, I put paragraphs for several of your updated articles into Grammarly (a well known digital writing and grammar assistant), it flags your use of "all together" as wrong and suggests correcting it to "altogether". Also, I scored 100% on the quiz above. Techie007 (talk) 20:03, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with File:Michaeljacksonslash.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Michaeljacksonslash.jpg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F4 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 23:13, 26 October 2020 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Edits over at Geisha

Hi - I'm kind of baffled as to why you've changed "after the war" to "post-war" in every single circumstance over at Geisha with the reasoning "this isn't an office memo" and "cut the cool dude talk"?

For want of a better word (ha!), it seems snipey and to be honest, just kind of pointless. I'd get changing it in some circumstances for variety, but I can't say I've ever seen anyone call "after the war" "cool dude talk" - as in, too informal, too conversational. I'm just saying - I appreciate people helping out with the Japanese arts and culture articles, as sometimes it does feel like just me sweeping them up and rewriting them, but for the future, you don't have to go in so hard on a few grammar issues. We're here to build the article, and not everyone who contributes to the article has the best English, but a bit of WP:GOODFAITH wouldn't go amiss. --Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) 21:03, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summary comments about Montanabw

Your edit summary comments here about User:Montanabw, about an edit by a vereran, prolific and well-respected Wikipedia editor, were ill-advised. I will add that madeupinbritain.uk does not appear to me to be a quality reliable source. - Donald Albury 01:30, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Maize article-- bushels

People outside the US may not know what bushels are, but they are the standard unit used by the industry in the US, which is the biggest in the world, and perhaps outside too, just as dollars are the currency used in the international oil market. I don't know how many Americans know bushels, or how many people anywhere know metric tons, but a "bushel basket" used to be a common size, and maybe still is-- I don't know popular culture well enough. editeur24 (talk) 04:18, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

February 2021

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Colchester; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors.

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Kelisi reported by User:Elizium23 (Result: ). Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 01:35, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Kelisi: I am not an administrator, but you are about to meet a few. Elizium23 (talk) 01:39, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that figures. You're not worthy of being one. It's clear that you don't know the difference between edit warring and an honest Wikipedian trying to stop a vandal from spoiling an article with ignorant drivel. Kelisi (talk) 01:41, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ryanair destinations MAP

Hi,

It would be great if bases/destinations on the Ryanair Destinations map would be marked on different colours and if airport code could be added.

Dictionary definition

Merriam-Webster dictionary - Curvaceous - "broadly : having a smoothly curving shape - e.g. a curvaceous coastline" this is additional to being directly linked to human female shape. Urselius (talk) 08:48, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merriam-Webster's primary definition for that word reads: "having or suggesting the curves of a well-proportioned feminine figure". The "broad" definition is therefore a bit inaccurate — and in an encyclopaedia, we aim for accuracy. Furthermore, Merriam-Webster seems to be about the only dictionary that has the "broad" definition. Kelisi (talk) 17:24, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of File:YandexkartyButtonKLS.png

The file File:YandexkartyButtonKLS.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unused image intended for user space

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Jack Kehoe edit

I noticed that you reverted my removal of the "partner" value from Jack Kehoe. My reason for removing that value was that Sherry Smith is not mentioned in the text of the article, when an infobox is supposed to "summarize (and not supplant) key facts that appear in the article". (MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE) Your reply, "But it IS supported in the references (namely Kehoe's LA Times obituary)" does not change the fact that Smith's being Kehoe's partner is not mentioned in the article's text. Eddie Blick (talk) 02:14, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And so what you do is that. I'd call her a very significant other, given that she was with him for 40 years. Kelisi (talk) 04:13, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

July 2022

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Digital Homicide Studios. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Chaheel Riens (talk) 20:02, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is not an "edit war", Chaheel, it is an attempt to remove crappy pretentious pseudo-French rubbish from WP, and there is no reason why anybody should be forbidden to do that. The term "nom de plume" is not used by educated French speakers — and come to that, nor by educated English speakers, who recognize it for the pretentious guff that it is. The French word is le pseudonyme. Je devrais mentionner que mes connaissances de la langue française sont assez avancées ! And my knowledge of English is likewise so. All that the inclusion of "nom de plume" in that article that you own shows is that you do not speak French, and have a very tenuous grip on English usage. The term "nom de plume" was invented in England (that's right, not France or any other French-speaking place) in the 19th century and used by those who wished to appear cultured, and they did, too — to those who knew no better. It is a substandard usage in both English and French, and I treat it as I would any usage of "ain't". Now, please explain why you think that "nom de plume" should be retained in that article? This mystifies me even without regard to its pretentiousness, for the term applies to writers of literature, not software companies. How about it? Kelisi (talk) 20:39, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Responded to the C&P on the relevant talk page. Chaheel Riens (talk) 20:56, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

While it is true that the word was forged in England, saying that the word isn’t used in French is incorrect, the word is present in all reference French dictionaries today (Larousse, Le Robert, TLFi) including the one from the very purist Académie française since 1935: https://dictionnaire-academie.fr/article/A9N0540 Thibaut (talk) 05:09, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Given the large number of changes you've made, I suspect a discussion should be here as a resource for all the other editors who may be trying to figure out what is going on. The earliest reference in the Oxford English Dictionary is 1841 and it quotes sources like the Daily Telegraph (a conservative British newspaper) in 1991. Pen name is actually a more recent word dating to 1864 and a back formation. Nom de plume is an English coining. The apparent earlier French language phrase for the same thing is nom de guerre (though as others have pointed out nom de plume seems to be in French now also). Pocket Fowler's has "A nom de plume (also in translated form pen-name) is a name assumed by an author to appear on the title-page of a book; a pseudonym is a name assumed more generally although this too is normally applied in authorial contexts." Nothing about it being substandard. In the case of Louie Crew, nom de plume probably best conveys the spirit in which he was using other names to write. --Erp (talk) 13:02, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

All right, all right! I guess I was wrong about that, but I still maintain that "nom de plume" is needlessly pretentious, getting a bit dated anyway, and much less common than "pen name". I could see that last point in the "What links here" list while I was doing my handiwork.Kelisi (talk) 20:16, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've just noticed this particular sentence: "All that the inclusion of "nom de plume" in that article that you own shows is that you do not speak French, and have a very tenuous grip on English usage" - that's pretty close to not only a personal attack, but also an accusation of article ownership - both of which are frowned upon. Please redact them, thanks. Chaheel Riens (talk) 17:59, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You've only just noticed it? I can see that my first impression was right, then: it's pointless to discuss anything with you. You aren't interested in anything that I say. It looks to me as though you're just looking for trouble. Sorry, no nibble.Kelisi (talk) 20:01, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nevertheless - it's still both insulting and accusatory. You don't have to bite - just redact your statement as a poor choice of words made in the heat of the moment. Chaheel Riens (talk) 21:52, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Are you going to redact your accusations? I've asked three times now. I feel quite strongly about unfounded comments such as those, and have given you multiple opportunities to take it back, simply by either editing to remove or striking through. You've been here since at least 2005, so it's strange that you would make such a statement then refuse to acknowledge when challenged. Chaheel Riens (talk) 08:17, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous writers' grip on English usage

Continuing from here, some noms de plume or nom de plumes (with my emboldening) for your delectation:

To the most faithful and skilful of these [pupils] the master bestows or bequeaths his name or a part of it, or his nom de plume (GO); and thus it is that the celebrated schools (RYUGI or HA or FU) of Japanese painting have been formed and perpetuated [...]. Henry P. Bowie, On the Laws of Japanese Painting.
The Ballad of Reading Gaol was published early in this same year under the nom de plume 'C.3.3.,' Oscar Wilde's prison number. Stuart Mason, introductory text to Oscar Wilde: A Study.
BEYLE, MARIE HENRI (1783-1842), better known by his nom de plume of Stendhal, French author, was born at Grenoble on the 23rd of January 1783. Encyclopædia Britannica, 11th ed.
The greatest poet Cuba has produced after Heredia, Gabriel de la Concepcion Valdes, better known by his nom-de-plume of Placido, was born, not at Santiago,—although he passed some years of his life there,—but at Matanzas. Richard Davey, Cuba Past and Present.

It is imaginable that all these writers had no more than a tenuous grip on English usage, but I rather tend to think that it was no less firm than yours or mine. -- Hoary (talk) 00:27, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I don't know that Richard Davey could be called such a great writer. After all, he has misspelt "Gabriel de la Concepción Valdés" and "Plácido". Famous writers don't always get it right. Read about Pippa Passes and find out how Robert Browning once got it disastrously wrong (it's quite amusing, actually).Kelisi (talk) 07:40, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Davey was published by Scribner's, for a general readership. Provision of sorts for accented letters was considerably more of a pain for letterpress printing than inserting them is today, so it was common for non-academic books to dispense with such niceties. Yes, famous (or merely proficient) writers do indeed on occasion get it wrong; but when so many use a term that escapes alteration by the proofreaders and copyeditors of their reputable publishers, I'd infer that the term is well-formed within the particular language (here, English). How do you distinguish between what's acceptable and what you call "substandard usage"? -- Hoary (talk) 09:30, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Euskirchener Kreisbahnen

Hi! I see that you translated Euskirchener Kreisbahnen from the German Wikipedia; thanks for that! It's currently completely unsourced. Are you still working on this article? Actualcpscm (talk) 18:44, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid it's as sourced as the original German article. I gathered that the sources for all the information are in the "Further reading" section (called "Literatur" in German). Now, I think that those are both paper books, and I wouldn't know how to cite chapter and page, as I have no idea how to get hold of them. They are not likely to be widely available outside Germany, I wouldn't think (I'm not even in Europe). The original writer (much of whose text still seems to stand after 11 years) on de:WP was Radiojunkie. He/She is still active, having made edits less than a week ago. He/She named those two books under "Literatur" even back then. Perhaps somebody will have to ask him/her to be a bit thorougher in his/her attribution. I have also put a message on the new article's Talk page:

"Can somebody find a way to render the two route diagrams here? The German article has them, but I have little idea about how to convert them. Thanks for any help. 17:00, 8 August 2023 (UTC) Kelisi (talk) 17:00, 8 August 2023 (UTC)"[reply]

Can you do that? And if not, can we find somebody who can? Kelisi (talk) 19:23, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I currently don't have access to these books either, and I don't know that much about German local railway systems. I think the best way forward is to work on this article in draftspace until it's ready for publication; right now, it's just too far from meeting WP:V. Notability is also an issue, particularly because I'm not sure what the reputation of the authors and publishers of the cited books is. Actualcpscm (talk) 13:59, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Montreux Oberland Bernois Railway

The Montreux Oberland Bernois Railway is still the operator of trains over the Montreux–Lenk im Simmental line.

December 2023

Hello, I'm Asqueladd. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Itziar Castro, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Asqueladd (talk) 19:29, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The source is unconsequential. As a user-generated source, no version of Wikipedia is a reliable source. This is explained in WP:RSPRIMARY ("Wikipedia articles (and Wikipedia mirrors) in themselves are not reliable sources for any purpose") and WP:USERGENERATED (Content from websites whose content is largely user-generated is generally unacceptable. Sites with user-generated content include personal websites, personal and group blogs (excluding newspaper and magazine blogs), content farms, Internet forums, social media sites, fansites, video and image hosting services, most wikis and other collaboratively created websites". Wikipedia is not perfect, but it should not go backwards. Unsourced or undersourced articles should improve its verifiability with reliable sources. You added content without providing a reliable source and furthermore, you hijacked the citation of a reliable source (WP:HIJACK). All in all, the table (as in originated in es.wikipedia or wherever it came from) should not be handled as a reliable source. At best, you can consider it as a "skeleton" to actually fill with reliable sources. your userpage calls you a "pretentious twat". I've been called many things on here. I've found those two descriptions in particular amusing.--Asqueladd (talk) 22:05, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What are you talking about? I did no such thing as "hijacking" a source. But my view hasn't changed: if you disapprove of that edit, then wipe the whole table out, for it all comes from the table in the Spanish article.

And for Pete's sake, get that obscenity off your userpage! You have no idea how it makes you look. Kelisi (talk) 22:15, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You did hijack citation #21, as that citation is presumed to verify the content to its left and the reliable source does not mention any name for the role Itziar Castro plays in the film. Please read WP:HIJACK. I am certainly persuaded to remove many rows of the table as they seem to be non-notable appearances (and a large chunk of them in non-notable works). I am not inclined to remove them just because they are unsourced. I prefer to look out for reliable sources (for those that seem plausibly sourceable) instead. That's actually something that I've doing in that article.--Asqueladd (talk) 22:21, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sailakshmi Balijepally

I don't appreciate the tone of your edit summary: "Please work on your comprehension", especially after I took the time to make numerous grammatical and formatting improvements to this article.

1. "it was expected" : Please read MOS:WEASEL

Does not apply. Meaning is perfectly clear. It is also a very common expression when referring to parents' expectations of their children.

2. "Her elder sister was her role model and she was en route" : "she" can refer either to the sister or the article subject—it's not clear.

It is perfectly clear. The subject of the article was never en route to becoming a cardiologist; so it must have been her sister.

Your recent editing history at Uterus didelphys shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

The WP:ONUS is on you as the original proponent of the edit to discuss and obtain consensus for the edit. Stop reverting. Jasper Deng (talk) 21:21, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not interested in uncivil transphobic screeds (it is not a scientific fact that only women have a uterus, see intersex for example) that try to absolve you of all wrongdoing. If you care so much about this, open a talk page discussion on the article talk page. If not, leave it. My good faith attempt to follow BRD is the right thing to do and you're doing everything to frustrate it.--Jasper Deng (talk) 22:41, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am so sorry that you are not interested. The thing is, though, that you must be. I think you reverted the above just because you wanted to evade those first two points more than anything. I notice that you didn't address them in your response. I notice, too, that you didn't address my point that "women" was the term otherwise used throughout that article, either. By the way, I have checked several other articles about female reproductive organs and female physiology, and they all use "woman" and "women" throughout. If you were sincere about furthering some worthy goal here on WP, I rather think that you would have done a thorougher job. I am also not too sure that you are not violating WP:SOAP — but perhaps that's debatable. You have furthermore done nothing to make me think better of referring the matter of your behaviour to another administrator. Things like calling me "transphobic" and accusing me of "wrongdoing" are quite beyond the pale. Please do not post abusive messages on my Talk page.

File:AlaskaAirlines1282a.jpg - Legend with scale?

Hi, and thanks for your excellent diagram of the route of Alaska Airlines flight 1282. Is there any chance you could add a legend to show scale? Thanks! Dcs002 (talk) 00:38, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:AlaskaAirlines1282a.jpg - Correct location

Hi there. Good job on your diagram of the flight history. However, I noticed that the NTSB said <ref name="NTSB briefing">{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGWLBLb9Pm4 |title=NTSB briefing}}</ref> that information from the flight data recorder indicated a drop in cabin pressure (the plug failed) at 5:12:33 PM. However, the location of the plane at that time <ref name="AS1282 flight data">{{cite web |url=https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/alaska-airlines-737-9-max-exit-door-separates-in-flight/ |title=AS1282 flight data}}</ref> was 45°30'10.4"N 122°49'59.4"W, which is several miles from the location shown on your diagram.

February 2024

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Jurassic Park (film). Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. The reason for using the template is to establish that there's some basis for the conversion, rather than an editor pulling numbers out of thin air. You were asked to use it and declined to do so, hence this notice. You're welcome to use the Convert template or provide a source for your number. DonIago (talk) 07:09, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ridiculous, DonIago. If you think it's so important to use the template, then by all means, you can insert it, and I see that you still couldn't be bothered — but you could be bothered posting this notice on my Talk page, which must have involved a greater effort. Well, I couldn't be bothered continuing this, to my way of thinking, rather silly disagreement. Have a nice day. Kelisi (talk) 15:07, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

About the addition of maps in Penang

Hey there. Regarding the map that you added in Penang, I'll have to disagree. It simply doesn't depict anything more than a blank raw map, there was no additional information from it & up to yesterday, that map along with several other images were causing MOS:SANDWICH. In fact, one could just as easily open up OSM & get the same viewpoint, but with enhanced functionalities (rather than attaching a raw OSM map that just appears repetitive to the location map within the same section).

In fact, there had been previous discussions about the article when nominating it for GA. One sticking point was the excess images in the article. WP isn't a repository, and there should have been greater prudence in adding images, charts or maps into the article so as to ensure relevance and remaining pertinent to the prose (and not adding repetitive maps which add little to what has been already present).

Maybe a wider discussion could be initiated so as to determine the consensus for this OSM map you're adding? hundenvonPG (talk) 09:35, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there. You're not looking closely enough. There is plenty of additional information on it, inserted by me. This is why it annoys me so much that somebody would simply cast it aside after I took the trouble to enhance the base map. It deserves to be there. It's more detailed than any other map there.

Spanish bullfighters

Hello Kelisi, nice to meet you. I just saw that you have created the biography of Pepe Luis Vázquez Silva, and frankly you have created a spectacular article, congratulations! As I see that you have an interest in Spanish bullfighter biographies, an interest that we share, I wanted to ask you if you were already creating the article of Paco Camino or if you were in the process of doing it. I am asking because I am already doing the draft and I would not want to interfere with your work. Regards! _-_Alsor (talk) 11:19, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! And you'll be happy to know that I am not doing Paco Camino, and since you are doing him, I'll lay off, as it were. I see that Camino died mere days ago. By the way, we customarily call bullfighting a sport, even if aficionados see it otherwise. Is Spanish by any chance your first language? If so, you might consider translating the Pepe Luis Vázquez Silva into Spanish. There is no article about him on es:WP. He must be the only Spanish bullfighter with an article on en:WP but not es:WP. Kelisi (talk) 15:31, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kelisi Well, I'm getting to it! I hope to be in time to nominate the article for Main Page. Well, to be specific, Catalan is my first language, but obviously being a Spanish national it is my second language. Anecdotes aside, I will take the time to create the Pepe Vásquez article in Spanish. I already thought it was strange that he didn't have one.

On the consideration of bullfighting as a sport. At least in Spain the press and the actors of the bullfighting world have never mentioned it as a sport but as a cultural spectacle. In fact, the first article of the Law 18/2013, of 12 November, for the regulation of bullfighting as cultural heritage says that

"bullfighting is understood as the set of knowledge and artistic activities, [...] relevant expression of the traditional culture of the Spanish people [...]. It is understood included in the concept of bullfighting all artistic and cultural manifestation linked to it.

So, at least legally, it would be definable more as an artistic and cultural spectacle than a sport. And I think the same... _-_Alsor (talk) 17:57, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I know that it is not really considered a sport in places where it is practised, but elsewhere... I personally don't think of figure skating as a sport, but rather as something more akin to a performing art. Nonetheless, if I did an article about a figure skater, I would be obliged to describe him/her as a "sports(wo)man" — because that is the common perception in most places.
