Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages (including user talk pages) are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. They are not for general discussion about the article topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages.

Hello Moxy. Amateur contributor here (I haven't used Wikipedia since, oh, 2006 or so.) I added a section on Nature to the Estonia page, because it's a very significant cultural area and the page tries to cover those kind of topics, the topics that represent the country. I didn't put this in the edit since I need citations, but there's a long history of a sort of spiritual connection to the forests (Estonia never really Christianised), and still today (and I did add this with citations) lots of respect for specific individual trees, rocks, etc, as well as a history of, say, 'myth' around it - things like the partisans that lived in the forest.

The section was removed for 'tone' and I thought it was quite neutral? What was the reason for the removal? There were citations from respected news outlets like ERR as well as at least one neutral NGO, plus an internationally targeted English-language magazine.

Or was it the quote from the president? He's a very respected president of Estonia, and his quote was there to illustrate the cultural view of the Estonian people. I thought the president was about the best possible way to represent that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:7D0:8CA8:E280:F4AA:B8:A1FF:3980 (talk) 15:06, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dear moxy, Almost every wikipedia, country page shows that but, it shows formation, formation is also apart of history and establishment, thats what canterbury tail told me. Dogemama73 (talk) 08:56, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I said no such thing. I removed your insertion of the Mongol invasions from the Established (Formation) fields in Japan because the Mongol Invasions have nothing to do with the establishment or formation of Japan. It's not a history section, it's about formation of the state. Unlike in some article subjects, the Mongol invasion didn't change the state or government of the country and were not successful. It's not like the Soviet invasions that put a new government in some Eastern European country. Canterbury Tail talk 19:03, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Best bring your argument to article talk page....what your adding in my view is historical events not related to its formation. Moxy- 09:10, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Both notices at the top of ((For timeline)) and ((For outline)) appear to suggest a proposal to merge with each other which matches the edit summaries as well.

stop copy pasting and you wont have that problem. Moxy- 11:10, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't. And I didn't write the article, I only wrote about one sport. Content I added does not read the same as other articles, plus the article includes sections on other sports so it follows that form. But the entire article is poorly sourced now that I look at it, so having it considered for deletion actually makes sense. It doesn't appear to have been properly developed anyways.

Hi Moxy! I would like to use your expertise. One user is constantly touching images for the Turkey articles. Simply adding a filter and increasing the contrast.

Hi Moxy, I noticed that you flagged my recent to Mosul about its medieval metalworking industry with template:undue weight. Which perspective did I unduly emphasize? Or did you mean that the section is disproportionately large? If that's the case then I can switch the template to template:overly detailed or maybe something similar because I'm confused to what you mean.

Thanks

Thinking this might be better on its own article Moxy- 12:30, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, at least some of this content probably ought to be in a separate article. I'm not sure which parts should get split off, though. I think the first six paragraphs can probably stay. The two paragraphs beginning "Only two items..." and "Modern western scholarship..." I'm less sure of. Some of the ideas near the end of that second paragraph I think should probably stay. A mention of Mosul's influence in Egypt, Syria, and Iran might also be worth having. The rest can probably go. What do you think?

You have recently made a series of edits advancing a particular POV in regards to the Métis Nation of Ontario. For instance:this edit, where you seem to want to promote the group's website and a non-Native encyclopedia opinion piece on a site that just happens to have "encyclopedia" in their site name over reliable, third-party Métis and First Nations sources. What is your connection to this group? Regarding these comments you made, I'm going to repeat what I said at Talk:Métis:

Implying that cited sources and editors are "racist", or committing "race murder", for discussing the many issues with that group, such as being called out by the National Council for being "90% non-Métis", among other things, is highly inappropriate. Indigenous identity is based in citizenship, not race.

I strongly suggest you do not imply that other editors are "racist" or committing "race murder" for citing reliable sources, especially when they are members in good standing of the Indigenous editing pool here on the 'pedia.

@CorbieVreccan:This is very disappointing to say the lest. Not sure how to move foreward when there is clearly an agenda to omit recognition of specific groups that have legal status. Thinking best to ask others about this as its clear that there is a problem when sources are removed or misrepresented by omitting . The comments are not from me they're from the sources that were provided... one of the sources used literary genocide..... not sure journalism is the best way to go here.....Thus far the lead has a dead source and 2 that cover Ontario ..So why the censorship ?.. The Métis (/meɪˈtiː(s)/ may-TEE(S); Canadian French: [metis]) are Indigenous peoples who inhabit Canada's three Prairie Provinces, as well as parts of British Columbia, the Northwest Territories, and the Northern United States.^{[1][dead link][2][failed verification][3] [failed verification]} . Has anyone here looked at Upper Great Lakes Métis?. Don't you find it odd the same edit has been trying to been inserted over and over..... calling in vandalism is clearly wrong when there's a multitude of sources in the article and even the statement ....the historical evidence in the Powley case was undeniable: Métis in Ontario have been standing up for their rights as a distinct group since the very beginning

You're making rather sizeable edits without any edit summaries, on a number of articles. It can be very difficult to collaborate when massive changes happen with no indication of which changes were made when, forcing other Wikipedians to parse through the details of every edit individually. It would be helpful to other editors if you summarize your edits; this is basic user etiquette that is expected of anyone who is not a beginner here. - CorbieVreccan ^☊ ☼ 22:21, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Moxy, thank you very much for reviewing my edit on Guatemala's Article, it's the first time I do this kind of edits so any kind of feedback is always welcome. I thought that the template and formatting I chose was correct because I used the same Collapsible list template also present for the articles from both Peru and Bolivia, other countries in Latin America where native languages are co-official like Guatemala. Is there any way I can add them to the infobox or at least in another part of the article using the correct format, I would like to add them but if there is some kind of rule that prevents me, I would like to hear it to avoid making the same mistake. Best Regards. Seb { 💬 Talk + 📝 Edits } 01:31, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This parameter has nothing to do with indigenous names is about first language. This should be removed from the other articles. This is a common mistake amongst American editors were the word native refers to a people.... the rest of the world used to the term a different manner..... like he's a native of Moscow. Moxy- 01:39, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh sorry, in which parameter of the infobox should I add this information? I have seen that both South Africa and Zimbabwe pages use the infobox parameter native_name to put the names in the indigenous languages. I'm sorry, if I don't understand much about this, it's the first time I do this. Seb { 💬 Talk + 📝 Edits } 01:49, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This type of info should only be in the lead if it's official.... as an official secondary name... not just recognized languages of a country...... as some countries have hundreds of recognized languages..... but they only have a few official dialects.Wikipedia:WikiProject Countries#Facts table.Moxy- 02:26, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting although you could define better what is "Official secondary language" there is not even a Wikipedia page about it. And I really wonder where did you get this information that there are some countries where they have hundreds of recognized languages, the only information I got is that Bolivia has 37 recognized languages but as the constitution has only been officially translated into Quecha, Aymara and Guarani, it was decided through consensus to only add those languages to the infobox. There are also other examples, for example Nigeria is one of the most linguistically diverse countries but it was decided to include only the three most spoken languages, which are Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo. When I decided to add those languages to the Guatemala infobox I thought there was no problem, because the Ecuador's Article listed Shuar in the lead, even though this language is only spoken in two not so populated provinces of the country, while the Mayan languages I placed are widely spoken in several departments of Guatemala and even the government of the country publishes news articles in Mayan languages like this one. It is rare to see other countries translate their constitution and it is something unfortunately not very common, based on what I have been told by people from different parts of the world, plus the Guatemalan constitution has only been translated into 4 of the most spoken native languages and there are no plans to translate it into more. Anyway, thanks for your time, although I would like your opinion in the case of Uganda, I decided to establish consensus on this and I was told that I should put native languages in the Infobox because they are widely spoken. Seb { 💬 Talk + 📝 Edits } 13:31, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This are great examples of what needs to be fixed. To quote template =An inline formatting template, based on ((Lang)), for indicating the official/defacto name in a language other than English. "native" is a linguists term used for " first language" or " mother tongue" called a "L1" name.... it may or may not be indigenous in nature. First language as in "You are a native speaker of that language" that in most cases is not an indigenous one. There is a parameter for languages used.Moxy- 13:43, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Searching a bit about this, according to Wiktionary, "Native language" refers to the languages first learned by certain communities in a country. Guatemala is the Central American country with the largest indigenous population, so much so that UN estimates say that about 41% of the population identifies themself as indigenous. That is one of the reasons why several organizations, including the UN, asked the Guatemalan government to translate the constitution into the most widely spoken native languages, since many communities in the country had difficulty learning Spanish. Besides it is difficult to determine a "de facto" language in certain countries, for example Switzerland has 4 official languages which are widely spoken depending on the canton, both de jure and de facto. Also other examples for Hawaii, which English is much more extensive because it is part of the USA, Hawaiian is still spoken on a smaller scale and yet it is included in the lead and infobox of the article.

Hi, you say you were unable to find the quote, but it's there in the cited source Cassani et al. Here is a larger quote:

Autocratization is a process of regime change towards autocracy that makes the exercise of political power more arbitrary and repressive and that restricts the space for public contestation and political participation in the process of government selection. More specifically, in their contribution to this special issue, Cassani and Tomini (2019) use autocratization as an umbrella concept encompassing a rather broad range of regime transitions sharing the same direction. These include outright transitions from democracy to autocracy, but also transitions that do not necessarily result in the outright breakdown of a democratic regime (e.g. Hungary in 2011) and transitions occurring in countries that are already authoritarian.

Unfortunately, "democratic transition" is not a suitable paraphrase for the reasons described later on in the quote; democratic transition is usually used to refer to when an authoritarian regime becomes a democracy. (t · c) buidhe 07:21, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still unclear why you reverted the "Grand railway hotels of Canada" page to a previous version, and your reference to the article's talk page does not explain this. Was this regarding the definition of "grand?" This reversion has resulted in the loss of substantial information, including previously missing photographs and names of architects. Furthermore, there are still hotels listed on the page you reverted to that would scarcely qualify as "grand," such as the McAdam. I would be in favour of removing the word "grand" altogether from the page, since it's so ambiguous. The purpose of this page is to talk about hotels built by Canadian railways, and I don't see how the size of each hotel matters. I would be happy to discuss this on the talk page, but for now I would appreciate an explanation of your rationale. Tsc9i8 (talk) 14:46, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to deal with the issue of reversions on the railway page civilly. Several times now you have reverted changes I've made without providing a good explanation. Most recently, you wrote "not in the book." Presumably you're referring to Grand Hotels: Reality and Illusion, which you referenced in the talk section. An article is supposed to be a summary of a topic, not of a single secondary source. Therefore, saying that information on the topic of railway hotels in Canada can only come from this book runs contrary to the nature of an encyclopedia article. Information can, and should, come from multiple sources.

The previous time you reverted my changes, you simply said "not grand hotels." However, you didn't specify which items you were referring to. Furthermore, on the talk page people had already said that "grand hotel" was a phrase, and does not refer to a specific size of building. Therefore, any judgment of "grand" is subjective. Prior to the edits I made, there were already multiple items in the list that would scarcely qualify as "grand."

I await your response and I hope we can resolve this sensibly. Tsc9i8 (talk) 22:35, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Gerda Arendt#Music keeps track of "my" music and memories, and just today I have a juxtaposition of music performed by the two church choirs in town, one I sang in and one where I listened, to music about love, evening and night. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:32, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Today, it's a place that inspired me, musings if you have time. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:08, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I want to Appel my suspended/sock account but I don’t remember it’s password. Can you help somehow? How can I appeal? 2A02:6680:2106:D2F5:85EF:E803:98DC:4130 (talk) 11:30, 18 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, long time no see, I've been busy, so im glad for this short time i am back at Wikipedia (As you guessed). But i reversed your edit since, again the Kingdom of D'mt (earliest) verifiable form of Kingdom of Ethiopia dates back to 980 BC, and the Kingdom of Aksum around 150 BC, i have stated if anyone ones to debate such a thing, a Talk page discussion rather than reverting it will be the solution. And as for now, D'mt, source: The Archaeology of Africa: Food, Metals and Towns - Google Books, and Kingdom of Aksum, source: Munro-Hay, Stuart (1991). Aksum: An African Civilisation of Late Antiquity. Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press. p. 69. ISBN 0748601066. (Do date around 980 BC, and 150 BC, being the earliest forms of government) Unless you have sources which you can lay out at Talk Ethiopia, this would be very messy.

The infobox is about the modern state...and pls for the 5th time read WP:Sandwich. Not sure your understanding what people keep saying to you. Moxy- 02:15, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's not how things work: For example here are examples of Infoboxs of Not "Modern" states which contain exons before, here for Japan: Japan - Wikipedia, Iran - Wikipedia, China - Wikipedia, and Egypt - Wikipedia, there many articles i can go to which show periods of time beyond the concept of any type of modern state. So I wish you can apply that logic in those pages also, not trying to come across as "that" person. CtasACT (talk) 02:33, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I will not edit anymore since there's barely anything to edit now, unless someone tries to change the balance now. Anyways have a nice week! CtasACT (talk) 02:36, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, my friend, then I'm going to move to a new page called List of historical paintings depicting the common Italian people, because I consider it very important for material and a good resource to know the poor and common people that existed in Italy in its history, and also a page for the Russians. What do you think, I think that this time it is possible.--LaGuairabeach (talk) 01:28, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My friend, it is not a picture book for children, as well as prominent people appear somewhere in wikipedia, why not show the people who appeared in its history, in the countries a list a little imcomplete, but it is important, this shows the reality of the country in its stages of poverty and wealth, it helps a lot to give the idea of what the country was like, how it lived, what it thought, if there were celebrities that are shown, the people that refer to a country, why not put it, please bro, or even give me a solution, since you don't let me do anything.--LaGuairabeach (talk) 01:46, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

the list clearly shows a not known reality of the italian people, very beautiful by the way, what is the gravity of hiding not to put this, what is the damage it does to put the people of a country for centuries. why don't you want to put it? I'm sorry my friend, I don't want to bother you mate, I'm going to put it up, I'm going to fix it, I'll see what I can do, thanks my friend.--LaGuairabeach (talk) 01:52, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. ―Buster7 ☎

I don't argue negatively with your edit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1194537868), but I would like you to explain why you wrote "Countries" on Canada and not on all the other continents (and it wouldn't have makes a lot of sense if only Canada had "Countries", don't you think?).

@Moxy: I made a mistake, I wanted to write "states" and not "continents". In any case the matter doesn't change; "Countries" isn't present in any (or almost any) state. In reply to "I am assuming your not orphaning the country portal from all country artilces are you?": no. JackkBrown (talk) 23:20, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They have gotten better .... but they've had this problem for a long time. + a link to EIA of CtasACT and The Supermind at WP:AN3. In addition to reviewing the interaction between the two users, I also noticed this discussion from last November. It sure sounds like CtasACT is admitting that they are a sock, although neither of you mentions Supermind explicitly. Is there somewhere else they admit to socking? Just out of curiosity, why didn't you report them at WP:SPI when you first discovered it, which was at least as early as November? In the November discussion, CtasACT starts with "so im glad for this short time i am back at Wikipedia (As you guessed)". Why do they say "as you guessed"? Is there something that precedes this? I'm prepared to block the user, but I need a little more. I'm also mildly concerned that the few socks associated with Supermind all used the mobile platform, whereas CtasACT never does, not even in the beginning, which was only about a month after the Supermind socks were blocked. Thanks for your help.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:08, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bbb23:...I no longer report socks as it's easier to follow the ones we know over figuring out the new ones. As noted here same "not a coherent response". Thinking they also have a friend [12] who also has copyvio problems [13]Moxy- 14:32, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, you slipped a new one in anyay. :-) The Persian socks were easier, and I've blocked them, but other than pointing out another example of incoherency, you haven't quite responded to my questions. Broad question: is there anything else that CtasACT has said or done that is evidence of their being sock of Supermind? BTW, what do you think of this? My knowledge about the topic area puts me at a severe disadvantage for analyzing the behavior and POVs. As a relevant aside, I believe that Onengsevia was adverse to Supermind.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:00, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

how is this misunderstanding of sources? the sources state north korea is a post totalitarian state, due to its severe corruption people can be free to evade most of the draconian laws through bribes so how could it be totalitarian then? Gooduserdude (talk) 16:25, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many scholars dismiss Kim Jong-Il's regime as a "one-man dictatorship" and call him the "last totalitarian leader,".....McEachern identifies three major institutions that help maintain regime continuity"

They say dispite the ecomony ( note sources are over a decade old ) its still the most totalitarian state in the world. For newer sources pls review the 34,700 results in just Google scholar or review 2023 country reportMoxy- 16:31, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Upon examining the information provided, it's apparent that there was a widespread scholarly consensus characterizing North Korea as a totalitarian state. However, when considering facts presented in the article on corruption within North Korea, such as the widespread bribery to evade strict government rules and the toleration of a black market, it becomes evident that the regime's control over public and private life may not be as absolute as previously believed. For instance, since the mid-1990s, economic conditions have led to widespread corruption among the police and army, indicating a loosening of control. Therefore, it's important to reconsider whether the term 'totalitarian' accurately describes the current situation in North Korea. If we're to maintain scholarly rigor, we must reconcile these discrepancies and reassess the classification of North Korea's political system. Gooduserdude (talk) 17:51, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We must follow the sources as of today....these 13 year old publication have not sttod the test of time and have no place in a current article ////.pls join talk at article. To quote ..."Corruption is believed to be endemic at every level of the state and economy, and government officials commonly engage in bribery. No independent or impartial anticorruption mechanisms exist.

Small-scale local markets have become prime targets of corrupt police officers, who solicit bribes from operators and detain those who cannot pay. Market participants also pay bribes to supervisors at their official workplaces to avoid discipline or imprisonment for abandoning state-assigned roles" Moxy- 22:41, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you are wondering, I personally do not dispute any of the characterizations given in the RfC factually speaking. I don't think any of them are factually incorrect. I'm mostly just of the opinion that the infobox should be short and to the point instead of on the more verbose end. I don't believe that only non-western sources should be used either. Sagflaps (talk) 00:20, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Think i am going to let others deal with this.....we have a group of editors that have no knowledge of political and government forms. The body of the artricle is clear and one can only hope most will learn from it. Moxy- 15:10, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SGTM, but I wouldn't diminish the value of the other contributors, many of whom edit significantly in this topic area and are clearly knowledgeable about it. Sagflaps (talk) 15:34, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Simply hard ...one editor says no sources call NK a "hereditary" or "totalitarian". Another believes totalitarianism is a characterizations not a form of government. Another did not know of the term Socialist republic. And then we have a missunderstading of totalitarianism ideologies List of communist ideologies. I will let the next round of editors in the near future try to explain better. Moxy- 16:09, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is astonishing to me the amount of negationism that goes on in these discussions on authoritarian or totalitarian regimes. Wikipedia is supposed to stand with the free press and free inquiry. These editors are simply denying well-documented facts and no amount of scholarly work appears to sink in. It's not a good look for this site. I am glad these arguments have not made their way into the Myanmar or Afghanistan articles I work on yet, because it is absolutely maddening to see what you have to deal with regarding Russia, NK, and Venezuela, to name a few. Anyway, I appreciate your work on this matter. 25stargeneral (talk) 18:22, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hard to say for sure, although I remember several years ago, through his original account, he often resorted to gross simplifications. Basically, if a party was considered to be democratic socialist and marxist, he would remove both and simply label the party communist. I think he has a very specific idea of how politics works, and wants to force his interpretation onto wikipedia, even when being told off for doing so. He also seems extremely prone to creating conflicts, which is how he got me my first ban back when I was a lot less experienced! Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 02:18, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know exactly how to proceed. But I'm very sure user Tromneck (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is a sockpuppet of a large list of socks, I don't remember the original name but Hordeolum (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) was one of the banned socks.

How do I know this? This user is obsessed with editing religious statistics from countries all around the world (infoboxes) or the pages "Religion of XXXXX" themselves. And this user named "Tromneck" does exactly the same as Hordeolum (now permanently blocked) did before. Always editing sourced data with fake numbers or doing synth without inserting any new source.

I've also seen other permanently blocked accounts that did exactly the same edits and this belonged to a major "parent" first sockpuppet but I don't know the name. As you are an admin, can you please check this? Thank you. LucenseLugo (talk) 11:14, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
