here you go Wilplatypus (talk) 04:36, 12 January 2014 (UTC) |
Hi Koavf, I was wondering if you could chime in on some discussion and some reverts happening at Huqúqu'lláh and Talk:Huqúqu'lláh. Originally an anonymous editor started adding some content based off some primary source material, which didn't match most of the secondary source material. There was some issue with the referenceing there, and I removed not only his content, but a lot of the content that was referenced by primary source material, and added back content to the best of my ability that was referenced with secondary source material. We've had discussions on the use of primary source material mostly on his and my talk page, and I'm trying to get him to come to Talk:Huqúqu'lláh, but he hasn't been coming that way. My claim is that if he has an understanding of a view of the primary source material, it shouldn't be too hard to find a secondary source that says that, but he hasn't come forward with any. He's also adjusting some of the wording of the content cited from the secondary source material, because it doesn't meet his understanding, which I've recently come to understand is from a minority Baha'i view. There are those Baha'is that don't follow the Universal House of Justice. THey are numbered in the hundreds, and so they are less than 0.1% of all Baha'is, and generally their views don't get published in secondary source material that mention the religion, except when talking about the divisions. There is a detailed page on them at Baha'i divisions. However, virtually all secondary source material that mention the Baha'i Faith refers to the religion that is centered by the Universal House of Justice. My understanding of undue weight states that unless there are secondary sources that document these other views in a reasonable proportion, that content should not be in Wikipedia, but I may be wrong.
It would be helpful if there can be some other viewpoints brought into the discussion. You can also see my talk page which has some very long passages that are about a whole bunch of things from the same anonymous editor.

We seem to be disagreeing on the vocals/language thing for Shawn Lane's second album. In this case it's not black-and-white, for he does perform vocals (I can't remember on which tracks), but they're of the 'non-word' variety like Annie Lennox or something like that—hence, I think to categorise the album as "English language" would be incorrect because not a word of English is actually sung.

The article Mike Coykendall has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Jinkinson talk to me 04:34, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Koavf!
My first article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Ira_Ward
submission was declined by User:Josve05a because I didn't know how to
use footnotes. AFC rules clearly discourages this as I had citations. He
should have made a quick fix... I am not angry with him because he did
help me a little.
Can you please give me some tips on how I can improve this article and get it accepted?

Wales is not a sovereign state, but it is a nation and a country for many purposes, and internationally recognised as such.
This is particularly true of sport and religion - which some would say are the same thing. It is nonsensical to talk of UK rugby or soccer, as the constituent countries have their own governing bodies and national teams.
Likewise, Wales has a national assembly and national library.
In terms of religion, Scotland is treated as a nation and a country by most churches (only the likes of the JWs ignore this)... Wales less so, but still significantly so. In the case of Anglicanism, Wales has its own church - the "Church in Wales"... Roman Catholicism does not treat it separately, but it is considered such for many other denominations, most notably Methodism, and Presbyterianism.
I'm amazed that I have to explain this to a supposedly educated person, but you appear misinformed and misguided on this question. (tildes unavailable, will hopefully be signed automatically)-MacRùsgail (talk) 12:02, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

I'd like to request that you withdraw your proposal to delete philosophy redirects. If this proposal goes through, it could create a lot of unnecessary work for me. We don't need to tag every single redirect, and there are probably ten times as many of those as actual targets. We only need to tag the ones which should reasonably should be monitored for their popularity. Tagging all of them would be a huge waste, and tagging none of them would be a huge loss. Help me out here. I do too much work as it is. Greg Bard (talk) 19:00, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello Koavf:
Wikipedia is holding a contest called the WikiSnap Challenge
The goal of this drive is to eliminate poor stub articles with not so much as a picture or info box. The contest starts on the 3rd of April and continues until a winner is declared.
Awards will be given out for all participating in the drive in the form of barnstars at the end of the contest.
Thanks for uploading File:R.E.M. - Unplugged - The Complete 1991 and 2001 Sessions.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 19:05, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello Koavf, it's nice to meet you. Listen, if you don't have some other Wiki-activities at the moment, can you take a look at Megadeth? I'm planning to nominate it for FA, and I could use some help from an editor who knows the language better than me. Can you go through the text and see if there are any obvious issues with the comprehensiveness or grammar? Of course, if you find some other aberrations, please post them at the review page.

He's right. Your edits, such as this one, are counterproductive. Please don't continue to do that. I pointed you at WP:NOTBROKEN and you don't seem to have taken its message to heart. There's nothing at all wrong with linking to a redirect page, and "fixing" them by adding a pipe costs far more than the link to a redirect costs. Edit warring over them costs astronomically more than linking to a redirect costs.—Kww(talk) 00:15, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
Actually, you're mistaken: I'm not changing the articles to imply that—I'm changing the name that is presented there to the current name of the article on the topic. It may be the case that what you are saying is implied but you are incorrect that this is what I'm trying to do. All of this could have easily been resolved politely on a talk page rather than getting angry, being mean, and getting anyone else involved. Also, it turns out you were factually wrong anyway about the naming. Even if you were correct this entire time, you are acting inappropriately and that makes you in the wrong. Less patient editors would probably fight fire with fire, so you should reconsider if you want to throw around slurs in the future or if you want to be a polite and civil person. Furthermore, you keep on asserting that I "don't understand" things which I do in fact understand. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:42, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
Here's why. You claimed "Another thing you evidently don't hold with—printworthy redirects can (and often should) be categorized too." This is another inaccuracy that you're propagating. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:09, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on NewHoo. 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.
Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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.

@Andy Dingley: Why? Because—as has been explained at length to you several times—we don't categorize every variation on a name of something in the same category as that thing. NewHoo *is* DMOZ: they are two names for the same project. Including NewHoo in Category:DMOZ assists no one in navigation, which is the purpose of categories. If I were as polemical and rude as you, I would write, "rv. doesn't understand categories". So I'll ask again: why are you such a petulant ass to me rather than a decent or kind person, Andy?

Hi Justin, how are you? I hope you have been well. I was wondering if you have any opinion about the discussion I tried to start a while back here. Not sure if you have seen this comment already—though I know you started this category. Basically, some of the articles I have worked on (Pacer) or hope to do lots of work on soon (such as Title TK, Mountain Battles) list Albini as engineer (or sometimes "recorded by"), not producer. As I wrote in the discussion, I am aware there can be a grey area between these two roles. But I believe "producer" suggests a more active contribution in contributing ideas, whereas "engineer" suggests only controlling the consoles, and letting the artists make the musical decisions. It is possible that Albini may or may not always have an active role, and that he chooses to call himself "engineer" out of modesty or respect for the artist—I know that sometimes he even goes by nicknames or goes uncredited. But as it is now, I don't feel totally comfortable having this "Albums produced by Steve Albini" category on the articles I am trying to bring to GA status. I think it's presumptuous to assume we know better than what is written in the album credits—especially if he himself, for whatever reasons, identifies with the "engineer"/"recorded by" label. But I also am reluctant to remove this category totally from the articles because it is nice to have a category showing albums he was involved in. I think changing the category to "Albums produced or engineered by Steve Albini" would solve all problems. This name change also does not discount the possibility that he may well often have an active role even when listed as "engineer"—but it is just a safer and less presumptuous name for the category. (I guess for consistency we would also need to change the current "Songs produced by Steve Albini" category.) What do you think? Thanks, Moisejp (talk) 06:28, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
