==Zodiac page==

Hello, I'm one of the people who has been working heavily on the Zodiac Killer page recently. I appreciate your work with the citations on the page. However, many citations have gone missing in the process, such as the one at the end of the first paragraph on the Lake Herman Road section. I don't know if you are planning to put these back under the new citation style, but either way, can you work on that? Thanks. [[User:Atubofsilverware|Atubofsilverware]] ([[User talk:Atubofsilverware|talk]]) 15:24, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
:Hi. I haven't deleted any citations. I have consolidated several that are duplicates, mainly of the Kelleher/Nuys book. It was often cited multiple times in the same sentence. 

:For the one at the end of the first paragraph in Lake Herman Road, the citation is still there. It is simply at the end of the 2nd paragraph. Both citations point the reader to pages 30–1 of Kelleher/Nuys. In my view, only one is needed, because the citation lets you know where to find the information in the book. Duplicating a citation is unnecessary. For instance, in the next paragraph, there is another invocation of Kelleher/Nuys but with an additional page, 30–2. 

:Paragraph breaks are more of a grey area, and if you would like to restore the citation, I wouldn't disagree. However, the citation implies that all of the preceding material can be found in the source.[[User:Trumpetrep|Trumpetrep]] ([[User talk:Trumpetrep#top|talk]]) 16:45, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
::Alright, I see. No problem then. I will add the paragraph break citations for clarity. [[User:Atubofsilverware|Atubofsilverware]] ([[User talk:Atubofsilverware|talk]]) 19:12, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
:To me, having the same citation twice in a row is less clear, but I can see why some may prefer that. My main goal was to strip all the bloat from the references. When the [[Talk:Zodiac_Killer/GA1|article was de-listed]], the citations were one of the reasons why. I'm going to consolidate the Graysmith citations next. I also posted a note on the article's Talk page about next steps.[[User:Trumpetrep|Trumpetrep]] ([[User talk:Trumpetrep#top|talk]]) 21:11, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
::I'm fine with the consolidation in general. Worth noting that the de-listing was in 2014, before I changed the citation style myself earlier this year. You're changing it again, which is totally fine, but the de-listing had nothing to do with the page before you started working on it. [[User:Atubofsilverware|Atubofsilverware]] ([[User talk:Atubofsilverware|talk]]) 21:55, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
:Is there a citation style you think is best? I only dug in when I realized how many redundant citations there were. In addition to Kelleher/Nuys being cited multiple times in the same sentence or paragraph without different page numbers, the reference names were arbitrary. For example reference #2 was for Kelleher/Nuys p. 32. Reference #3 was for p.32–3. In an article this labyrinthian, that's a distinction without a difference, not to mention the fact that editors have no reliable way of knowing named reference #23 from #30 (pp. 76–7 and p. 77, respectively). There were ''9 different'' named references for the same source. That is why I consolidated Kelleher/Nuys under the "KN" name, and will do so for Graysmith's books as per the 2014 assessment. With all that said, if there's a system that you think works better, I would be happy to use it.[[User:Trumpetrep|Trumpetrep]] ([[User talk:Trumpetrep#top|talk]]) 22:40, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
::The messy citations are a result of me making this page bigger very quickly, (I wasn't being quick for any reason, it's just my ADHD editing style) my plan was indeed to consolidate the citations once I was finished with expanding the body, which I'm very close to being done with. That being said, I think the citation style you chose is fine. When you're changing Graysmith's citations, note the difference between versions of Graysmith's Zodiac, as the 1986 edition I'm pretty sure has mistakes that were fixed in the 2007 version and both versions are on this page, unfortunately.

:::Hi {{u|Trumpetrep}}, many thanks for updating {{Diff|User_talk:Cxbrx|next|1183732129|my talk page}} after {{Diff|Zodiac Killer|next|1257048530|reverting my edit to Zodiac Killer}} where I converted a ref to use cite news. I thought I would follow up here, as there seems to be an ongoing discussion.
:::I prefer templates such as [[Template:Cite_news]] because it makes it much easier to create references that are uniform.  The order of fields in cite news does not matter, the citation will appear the same even if the order of fields is different.  I see citation templates to be little databases and by specifying fields for reference data, it makes it easier to use tools on references.  Outside of Wikipedia, biblographic tools such as [[BibTeX]] are used to create bibliographies that are uniform.  [[Template:Cite_news]] states "This template is used on approximately 1,680,000 pages, or roughly 3% of all pages."  So, 1.68 million pages are wrong?  Would you consider un-reverting my change?  Thanks.  [[User:Cxbrx|Cxbrx]] ([[User talk:Cxbrx|talk]]) 03:57, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
:Thanks for your reply. I'm curious why you responded here instead of to the message on your Talk page. Is this another protocol of which I'm unaware? 

:3% is a vanishingly small usage rate. As you can see from this discussion, the citations on the Zodiac page are a mess. There were problems with placement and naming, and that's before the formatting issues created by the shambolic Cite News/Web templates. Most of the citations that used templates did not have basic information like the author or the original date of the article. 

:Moreover, the citation templates were only part of the problem, which has been discussed on the [[Talk:Zodiac_Killer#Separate_pages|Talk page]]. The page was 200k with 266 citations. It is now at 117k w/ 151 citations. Most of that was not a result of losing material. It was the result of consolidating references that were duplicated and renamed and hashed to bits. The same book or article would be invoked under different names, multiple times in the same sentence or paragraph. 

:The article is extremely long and complicated, dealing with a subject where the known and disputed facts are both legitimately part of the encyclopedic subject. A typical Cite News reference is 100 characters longer than a normal citation. In cleaning up the page, I found that stripping out unnecessary code has been extremely helpful. 

:The article was [[Talk:Zodiac_Killer/GA1|de-listed over a decade ago]] because of some of the issues I've just described. So all of that is to say, I would like to continue streamlining the citations and cleaning up the article. I am not opposed to anyone using Cite News, but for now, I would like to press on in the same manner.[[User:Trumpetrep|Trumpetrep]] ([[User talk:Trumpetrep#top|talk]]) 04:45, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
::Hello again. I again commend your work on the page, you are doing a lot of great stuff with the notes and the page could always use more attention. Still, I'm asking that you don't summarize the page much further considering the amount of important and non-intrusive detail that is being removed, especially from the footnotes, which are meant for that sort of thing. You mentioned the various pages for the [[Assassination of John F. Kennedy|Assassination of JFK]] earlier. It is worth noting that this is one single footnote on the main assassination page:
::''Lieutenant Day of the Dallas police examined the weapon prior to its seizure by the FBI. He found and photographed fingerprints on the trigger housing. Although Day believed the prints to be those of Oswald's right middle and ring fingers, the ridges were not clear enough to make a positive identification. Day then discovered a palm-print on the barrel underneath the wooden stock. He tentatively identified it as Oswald's, but was not able to photograph or analyze it in more depth as the FBI took the Carcano.[108] In D.C., FBI fingerprint expert Sebastian Latona found the photographs and extant prints to be "insufficient" as to make any conclusion. The rifle was returned to the Dallas police on November 24.[107] Five days later, the FBI made a positive identification using a card from Day.[109]''
::The Zodiac page is used by many Zodiac researchers as a way to parse the case's misconceptions or fuzzy understanding from the truth and real-life context. Removing prose that does so could bring up those same problems again in the future. I recognize it is not just you making changes to the page recently, but you're one of the most active people. Essentially: I have worked really hard on the page in a way that - citation issues notwithstanding - aligns with all standards of what a good encyclopedic article should be, and I am becoming slightly disappointed with that work going away, but I do not want to insert myself into unnecessary edit conflicts for now, so I am trusting you with this. [[User:Atubofsilverware|Atubofsilverware]] ([[User talk:Atubofsilverware|talk]]) 23:00, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
:::Meant to add that I definitely support the body being the current size, albeit if the details get moved to the footnotes. I don't know if you're planning to do that so I don't want to assume anything. [[User:Atubofsilverware|Atubofsilverware]] ([[User talk:Atubofsilverware|talk]]) 23:11, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
I think we're on the same page about what should be in the article. Most of the "Notes" that were there needed to be in the body of the article, in my view. Some of them were superfluous, but not many. For example, we don't need a translation of the translation of a cipher. I think it's enough to point out that the Zodiac purposely misspelt words and present his texts as such. But if the consensus lies elsewhere, I'm fine with that too!

A good example of a "Note" that I just incorporated into the text is the Indenti-kit one. I didn't see why that shouldn't be in the body of the article. Maybe it's better to corral certain material in Notes, but when I dug in, it was part of the information sprawl that I felt needed to be streamlined. 

The other issue that happens in a lot of Wikipedia articles is sentences that run on too long and lose their meaning. It's a function of group editing, and in a year or two, that kipple will creep back into the article. There is just a lot of information put in odd places. For instance, if the TV call-in was a hoax, why save that information for the end of the section? It's a notable moment in the case, but it was a hoax, and there's no reason to give it more time than it's due. But of course, if I strip out some detail that you think belongs, I hope you'll put it right back in! I'm glad you recognize the good faith nature of my edits, and I have another big question I want to run by you when I have a better grasp of the issue. [[User:Trumpetrep|Trumpetrep]] ([[User talk:Trumpetrep#top|talk]]) 01:05, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

:The translation of a translation thing wasn't me btw, I'm totally fine with that going. In any case, go ahead with your edits, I was just adding a note. I'll change larger stuff when you're done with your work, take your time. (And if I've been too anal about all this, my bad, I'm stressed out these days!) [[User:Atubofsilverware|Atubofsilverware]] ([[User talk:Atubofsilverware|talk]]) 01:21, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
I think "anal" is a prerequisite for editing Wikipedia! ;) I have an allergic reaction to seeing "citation needed", for instance...just can not let it slide. So, let's keep working to make this article the best it can be! [[User:Trumpetrep|Trumpetrep]] ([[User talk:Trumpetrep#top|talk]]) 04:18, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

You mentionened [[Jerome Kohl]]. It's his birthday today, and he features high up on my user pages, - try my talk. We were friends from my early days on Wikipedia when he corrected what a source had wrong for [[Siegfried Palm]]. [[In Freundschaft]]. He reverted many infoboxes for composers because of the 2010 guideline of project composers, but he softened, - {{diff|Talk:Aaron Copland|951250574||see}}? ;) - I miss him, - I wonder what he would say on the talk pages of Rimsky-Korsakov, Mahler and Stockhausen ''now''. -- [[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 23:06, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

:: Sadly, we never met in person, but go over his talk and look for my name: we spoke about very personal matters, such as the tribute Stockhausen paid to [[William Waterhouse (bassoonist)|William Waterhouse]] who ''was'' a friend I met, and who played the bassoon version of In Freundschaft, and shortly after that tribute Stockhausen also died. That is still on the JK talk. - Take it easy with the infoboxes, but correct wrong "facts": all ''recent'' FAs about composers have an infobox (Stravinsky, the Ukrainian ones, the crazy pianist-composer whose name I can't remember). - About indenting: blank lines confuse the screenreader, and when beginning over at the front, {{template|od}} is better because blank lines ... -  This is a matter of accessibility, as are infoboxes. You will have seen my name in the Mahler discussion and hopefully understand that I am not in the mood to enter R. See Sibelius, where I asked in 2018 how many more RfCs we'd need. --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 00:08, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
:::''Jerry'' was the one who taught me to reset the indents after a few responses! 
:::We saw each other every year in Stockhausenland, and then it became every other year, and then sadly, never again. I sat through his ''Zeitmaße'' lectures which were the closest the Courses ever came to when Stockhausen was alive and delivering the lectures himself. ;) His punctilious nature was so endlessly helpful. He stewarded a lot of good scholarship.
:::Regarding the Infoboxes, there's no good reason being given. It's just kind of a shrug and a mumble that they don't like them, which is fine.

== Infoboxes ==

Just a friendly note.... I see you have wandered into the land of infoboxes unaware that a few editors have been fighting their implementation on certain biographies for over a decade. I was introduced to this topic a couple of years ago in a RFC and I was met with the same fierce resistance from the same editors. It's one of the most bizarre contentious topics on Wikipedia. These are good editors who are very vocal about that topic. You're not going to change their minds so debating it with them isn't productive. There are very few articles of this nature that don't have infoboxes. The community generally supports their use. A couple of attempts were made to get a rule about this topic. However, at this point it's too much [[WP:CREEP]] for a policy. Like I said, there's not that many articles left like this, but apparently those opposed are going to resist until the end. So save yourself the time and let it go or if you really believe there should be an infobox create a RFC. I recommend following this [[Talk:Rod_Steiger#Rod_Steiger_infobox_RfC|example]] to prevent bludgeoning/wall of text from derailing the RFC. Either way, best of luck to you and Happy Thanksgiving! [[User:Nemov|Nemov]] ([[User talk:Nemov|talk]]) 14:32, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

:Oh man, thank you so much for this message! It's a Thanksgiving miracle! I enjoyed learning about this yesterday, as bewildering as it was. It's so helpful to know about the best Request for Comment format from the Rod Steiger example. 
:When we hit the snag in the Talk page, I asked for a [[Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Nikolai_Rimsky-Korsakov_discussion|Dispute Resolution]]. That was pooh-poohed as bad form. (How is ''anyone'' supposed to know these things?! Talk about creep...) So, I have two questions.
:'''First, should I create a Request for Comment on the same instance?''' It seems like that would be even worse form, to duplicate  efforts at consensus building. 
:'''Second, why not create a Request for Comment for the entire issue?''' The [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Infoboxes#Community_discussion_recommended|well-publicized community discussion]] that the arbitrators recommended as a remedy for this issue never took place. Would a Request for Comment be the best way to hold that discussion? Or is 11 years too long an interregnum to justify such an action? Would it make sense to just start a new arbitration for the issue? [[User:Trumpetrep|Trumpetrep]] ([[User talk:Trumpetrep#top|talk]]) 16:03, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

:[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hi! I noticed that you nominated {{#if:|the article [[{{{1}}}]] |an article}} for [[Wikipedia:Good articles|Good article]] status. You do not appear to have made significant edits to the article prior to this, and there is no discussion about nominating the article on its talk page. [[Wikipedia talk:Good Article proposal drive 2023#Proposal 11: Ban drive-by nominations|Current practice]] is that only editors who have significantly contributed to the article are able to nominate it (see [[Wikipedia:Good article nominations/Instructions|the nomination instructions]]). I have consequently removed the nomination for now. Consider discussing whether the article is ready to be nominated with the article's principal editors on the talk page. Thank you.<!-- Template:uw-ga-driveby --> '''[[User:Abo Yemen|<span style="background:#9b360b;color:white;padding:2px;">Abo Yemen</span>]][[User talk:Abo Yemen|<span style="background:#9d6b06;color:white;padding:2px;">✉</span>]]''' 17:04, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
