Apperian

It looks like Apperian was changed in July to a pure promotion. I reverted to the version before that edit, and will take a look to see if we can rescue it. Still has some puffy language in it, but there was some coverage cited in the older revisions. Need to see if it still hits the notability bar, which might take a while. Thanks for finding it.

Questions about the Wikipedia Page of Milan Zeleny I have created~

(Zhuyuxiang (talk) 03:29, 1 December 2013 (UTC))

Hi, Wikihannibal~

Thanks so much for your editing on the wiki page of Milan Zeleny I created. I have already seen your editing.

I created this page to introduce American economist of Czech origin, currently a Professor of Management Systems at Fordham University.

I have two questions for you. First is about the External links at the end of this page. Yes there are two personal website links. The reason I put the two links on my page is because I want the readers of my page to get more ways to know this economist including viewing his personal blog or somethings like that. I can't directly use the contents in his personal blog. However, if you think it is not proper or it goes against the objective opinion rules, I can remove them.

Second~ I am not quite sure about how to add and edit the publishing activities (publications) for the economist? This economist has a really great amount of publications and maybe you can find the list of his publications on line through Google scholar.

But here I Redefine it. I mean I rearrange those publications in term of different disciplines, or say "academic focus" mentioned at the beginning of this wiki page.Instead of by the chronology that you can find on line.

Is it possible for me to put all of the selected publications on the wikipage? Those arranged publications are correspond to this economist's academic focus (different topics), which I suppose makes my introduction more complete. But does it looks so long?

Could you give more advises or example on editing this economist's publishing activities?

Many thanks~

(Zhuyuxiang (talk) 05:25, 12 January 2014 (UTC)) Hi, WikiHannibal~ Thanks so much for taking care the Milan Zeleny Page I created. Especially for your editing on the external links that I originally put on that page.

I got you~ The links in the body of that article should only be directed Wikipedia existing articles, otherwise, we should use it as reference instead of external links.

I have already finished the reviewing of the part Academic Focus and Academic Career, replace the external links with note and put them under reference. I will keep improving that page. You editing are welcome~ (Zhuyuxiang (talk) 05:25, 12 January 2014 (UTC))

Expedia

Hi WikiHannibal,

I have seen your work on Wikipedia and your copy-editing skills are spot on and very accurate. I would like to ask you if you could make edits to the page of Expedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expedia), as there is some information missing from the page. Would you be willing to make edits to the page so that it's complete? The main areas that I think needs more information are the infobox on the top right, and external links.

To be specific, I think the infobox at top right needs more information, and fields more in line with other global travel brands like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TripAdvisor, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trivago or and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodafone_Hutchison_Australia. The infobox also needs to change URLs to be within 'website' (at the bottom) rather than 'Web address' (at the top), and it needs to include links to Expedia ccTLD: US, CA, UK, AU & NZ (in that order) in the same shape as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trivago In regards to external Links, I think it should link to Expedia ccTLD in the same shape as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TripAdvisor with the same links as on #3.

Let me know, I would highly appreciate your assistance in this matter.

Erexkiss (talk) 12:39, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi, unfortunately i cannot make the edits you ask for. I think the article needs other changes first - it has a long history but in its current state it is a candidate for a speedy deletion.

Time

Re: Vikingdom - You must have something more useful to do with your time - this isn't it. This is not vandalism, no matter how stretched the wiki definition is interpreted - it is legitimate connection to relevant related information.

"Wikipedia does not have firm rules: Wikipedia has policies and guidelines, but they are not carved in stone; their content and interpretation can evolve over time. Their principles and spirit matter more than their literal wording, and sometimes improving Wikipedia requires making an exception.

References

Hey, just giving you a head's up: You shouldn't use merchant sources like Amazon to source something on Wikipedia. Given that they sell the book in question, using them as a source is highly discouraged because it's seen as an indirect endorsement of the site and so on. Also, Goodreads is also not considered to be usable as a RS either because the content can be somewhat easily edited. You have to be a librarian to edit, but it's not exceedingly hard to become one. For the most part though, we don't really need to source the existence of a book so I've just removed them from the Will Christopher Baer article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:16, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I agree that the references are far from perfect; I have not found a better one. However, I believe publishing dates should be sourced as well as the facts about Phineas Poe. (Prior to my edits it looked like a stand-alone book.) It would be nice I you found suitable refs. Otherwise I think those I used are better than nothing.

Radegast (deity)

Reverting to a more speculative version appears to you as constructive? Basic difference between those two is that in the old one, which I'm promoting, is emphasized very speculative nature of Radegast as a deity. New version is full of pseudo mystical fables. Could we agree on, that the possibility that Adam of Bremen made a mistake is very high? Chupito (talk) 10:11, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

I have no knowledge of authorities in wikipedia and whether you have some kind of rank and have more priveleges. I have no urge to enforce my opinion, I just feel sorry that on the english wiki is a mix of nonsences and fairytales instead of historical references.

Liberland

Yes, it's in the source, but that doesn't make it a fact. The article suggests that it is. Cheers, The Jolly Bard (talk) 17:52, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Page numbers in Tolkien

Ordinarily I would agree with you completely. But in LOTR and especially Hobbit, page numbers are next to useless because they vary so much from edition to edition, often by as much as several hundred -- even in editions that don't number FR, TT, and RK continuously as one book. In my four editions alone, the relevant passage in this case is on pp 102, 124, 810, and 828 -- take your pick. Most people don't have access any more to the hard-cover Houghton Mifflin editions referenced by {{ME-ref}}. The chapter name and the entry in the index of your own edition is a better guide to where the material in question can be found. (Unfortunately The Hobbit typically has no index, and the variation from edition to edition can be even wider. The chapter name there is essential and about the only good guide.) -- Elphion (talk) 23:16, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

A sources section makes little sense (in any article) for works of an author that have been through many editions, since different editors will use different editions: a sources section would convey that any page numbers given come from that selection of the editions, which is probably false. (This, e.g., is why {{ME-ref}} makes no sense to me.) In the case of Silm, UT, and HOME, however, the pagination has remained fixed across editions, so the specific edition used is not important -- so again a sources section picking out specific editions contributes little. -- Elphion (talk) 14:28, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Liberland

WikiHanbibal, I undid your revert on Liberland because your edit summary, which is only partly readable, seems completely off. Please stay civil, and use the talk page of the article to discuss its content. Cheers, The Jolly Bard (talk) 16:54, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

Your edit to Tycho Brahe

Would you please correct one of the sentences you edited in Tycho Brahe: "1990' investigations have suggested that Tycho did not die from urinary problems but instead from mercury poisoning." The more important problem is that the numeral 1990 followed by an apostrophe doesn't mean anything in this context. The less important problem is that it is not customary to begin a sentence with a numberal. Jc3s5h (talk) 15:50, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

This edit of yours seems mostly good. But on the grammatical point, no, in standard English the verb agrees in number with the subject, not with the predicative complement.

Monika Zgustová

It seems WP:BITEy to revert all the work of a new editor who seems to have made a substantial improvement to the article, on the basis of one unsourced statement. Would you consider reverting your revert, and asking the editor to source "Chicago"? It looks likely to be the sort of case where an editor juggling half a dozen largely overlapping biographical sources can choose the wrong one to attribute a particular element - or do you think there is a much larger problem of inaccuracy in that article? Aside from the Chicago point, the article looked much better in this version than in this one which preserves the "It is a key figure" mistake which has been in the article for many versions, as well as lacking the lists of publications etc.

The newby editor is confused by the treatment of their work and has blamed Yobot for deleting it (I can't see why) - see User_talk:Magioladitis#Page_deleted_by_Yobot (which is where I came across it). Please consider helping him/her by replacing their content and tagging just the particular element(s) over which you have doubts. PamD 17:51, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

• Googling "monika zgustova chicago" found several references to her studying in Chicago eg http://bohemiannationalhall.com/index/viewevt/lang/en/ev/652/page/0, and I think it's quite likely to be in one or more of the sources cited in the article. PamD 17:57, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

You're right. I restored his sourced content. His whole first sentence (parents, moving, Chicago) did not match info in the article and the "most acclaimed" was unsourced but I could have let him know. WikiHannibal (talk) 19:39, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

On your Vít Jedlička edits

Dear Hannibal,

I'm the guy who attempted to update Mr. Jedlička's page. I understand your corrections and have to apologize for my rookie mistakes. My intention was really to add information in a transparent manner, but yes, it seems I've been inaccurate on sourcing. I'll be updating the page once more trying to reach a consensus with you on the quality of information and Wiki's editing standards. I kindly ask you to have a little patience for me. Halodalo (talk) 18:35, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

No problem. I welcome constructive edits. I tagged some of the things that need to be fixed. Plus when you add unsourced info into a paragraph, it is better to place a break/free line between the previsously sourced content and the added content. This way it looks like all the Background info comes from the CV, which is not the case. (From my point of view, the Background section is unnecessarily detailed, as wiki is not a CV, but that is a minor issue.) You might perhaps be interested also in WP:SELFPUB and WP:COI. WikiHannibal (talk) 19:47, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

June 2016

In a recent edit, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to India, use Indian English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. --John (talk) 09:02, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

@John: Hi, I did not change the article from one version of English to another. The text I changed was within quotation marks, indicating a direct quote from the source. In that case {{MOS:PMC}} , i.e. using the exact wording of the source, is more important than retaining the version of English used in the article, or not? What is your opinion on this? MOS:PMC deals with spelling this way: "Quotations must be verifiably attributed, and the wording of the quoted text should be faithfully reproduced." and "In direct quotations, retain dialectal and archaic spellings, including capitalization". Thanks for clarification. NB: The source now uses your spelling so the original wording has changed since I copied it, or I may have copied it wrong. In any case, your version is correct but not because of the principle you put to use. WikiHannibal (talk) 10:12, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Glad we are all sorted now. It looked like you were changing the spelling away from the way it was in the source and away from the standard established in the article. --John (talk) 15:35, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sara Baume, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Santa Fe and Kate O’Brien. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Sara Baume

Nationality is tricky, isn't it? Clearly by birth she is an British citizen, but that doesn't mean she isn't also an Irish citizen. Being raised and educated in Ireland and living there now would seem to make her "more" Irish than, say, Kate Thompson, who is categorized as both British and Irish. The Guardian called her an Irish writer in this article, and in the article she seems to be regarding herself as one ('Baume, 31, said today that she was “very grateful to be on the longlist” but had “very low hopes of winning, because the previous two years it’s been won by Irish writers”'). Anyway, I don't have a strong opinion, so I'll leave it with you. ---- Robina Fox (talk) 19:13, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

January 2018

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Bir Tawil. 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 that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. 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; 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. Beyond My Ken (talk) 17:19, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

• Please discuss your concerns on the talk page, and do not re-add the material until you have a consensus to do so. Beyond My Ken (talk) 17:19, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Nile rhinoceros

I understand the site linked mentions a proposal, but it also references its use in an actual scholastic publication (listed as "Heller, E. 1913. The white rhinoceros. Smith. Misc. Coll. 61 (1): 1-56"), and if you were to google "Nile rhinoceros" you'd see that it has also seen use on other websites. If a common name arises from a place other than Wikipedia and proliferates, what reason is there not to list it as a common name? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luke Beall (talk • contribs) 22:13, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi thanks for writing me, perhaps with a more precise wording and more sources it can be used in the section Northern white rhinoceros#Taxonomy as I mentioned in my edit summary. But the source just proposes an English equivalent of Ceratotherium cottoni, which is not officially recognized as a species (i.e. not the subspecies Ceratotherium simum cottoni), so Nile Rhino can hardly be in the lead where Ceratotherium cottoni is not. Stating that Ceratotherium simum cottoni is the Nile rhinoceros is simply wrong and not what your source says. BTW If you want to continue this discussion, it would be better to use the article talk page so that the posterity can read it as well. WikiHannibal (talk) 22:24, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

I see, and I don't think any further discussion is required. I didn't pick up on the distinction of Nile rhinoceros being used exclusively for Ceratotherium cottoni and not C. s. cottoni, and it's an important distinction to make. Thanks for bringing this up.

(Great Pyramid of Giza) Thanks for your contribution

@WikiHannibal: I appreciate advice. But wouldn't it have made more sense to contact me rather than immediately reverting? The workers' state as farmers is (hopefully) common knowledge now; obviously some skilled architects were also employed but I could have removed 'skilled' and added sources. 'Verner pages 75–82?' is no help – which Miroslav Verner publication? It certainly doesn't appear to be the Wikipedia page, so I'm lost. Muinn (talk) 00:47, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

@Muinn: Hi, sorry if my explanation in the edit summary was too short. Perhaps you are not familiar with this type of referencing - the format used is Template:Harvp. So, to be more explanatory: you added a phrase "– usually conscripted farmers unable to work on their own lands whilst the Nile was in flood" into what seems to be a coherent text sourced from Verner. The source is at the end of the paragraph; currently reference no 23. When you click on it, you are redirected to the bibliography section of the article, and more precisly to the very book the info is from: "Verner, Miroslav (2001). The Pyramids: The Mystery, Culture, and Science of Egypt's Great Monuments. Grove Press. ISBN 0-8021-1703-1." So your edit was wrong in 2 respects: 1) you added info that, for the reader, looked like sourced from the book by Verner. Which is not the case. 2) You added info which you consider common knowledge, but without a source such edit may in fact be considered original reserach. (BTW the section you edited has (as indicated) a corresponding main article, Egyptian pyramid construction techniques, and even that article does not mention farmers. So if you have anything to add to the workforce used, it would be better to start by editing that article.) For more info on references you might want to have a look at WP:VER, and WP:OR, for example. WikiHannibal (talk) 22:59, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Bir Tawil

I saw you were interested in Bir Tawil article once. The point is a Beyond My Ken removed all the mentions of the 'Kingdom of North Sudan' in the article. And now he tries to moderate Bir Tawil's talk page. He removed my edition and then accused me of 'edit war'. Is there any way to stop this madness??

PS Almost the same situation/scheme in 'Hala'ib Triangle'.

Titus Atomicus (talk) 20:47, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi, there are 2 separate problems: 1) talk page 2) Kingdom of North Sudan+Bir Tawil. Ad 1) Your commentary on the talk page, even though very interesting, does not belong to the talk page, really. Per WP:NOTAFORUM, as Beyond My Ken tried to indicate. And he was not alone, Bonadea also reverted it. I think there is no point in trying to add the comment again. Ad 2) Bir Tawil - the consensus from 19 January was to redirect Kingdom of North Sudan to List of micronations#Kingdom of North Sudan, which was done by User:CactusWriter. It meant that someone searching for Kingdom of North Sudan will find some info about it at wikipedia, through the redirect, which I considered sufficient so I did not oppose further edits which reduced info about Kingdom of North Sudan in the Bir Tawil article, leaving it just in the references. However, there is another problem you might not know about - the List of micronations, where Kingdom of North Sudan redirects, no longer contains info about the "kingdom". It was removed 11 May. I added it again but was reverted, and offered a solution on the talk page; I hope some of the editors who manage List of micronations will comment. For the time being, I think you can ask CactusWriter what he thinks about it because his solution from January is now void. Perhaps he can think of something. WikiHannibal (talk) 20:11, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi, WikiHannibal. I agree with your thorough explanation to Titus Atomicus. I do not have List of Micronations on my watchlist, so I'm glad that you linked me here. I have reverted User:Septrillion's edit and left a message on their talk page essentially reiterating your point: that WTAF is just an essay and it's about redlinks. It cannot be used for blanket removal of sourced text -- especially when added by previous consensus. Cheers. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 21:29, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Re your edit

re: "nothing in there concerning the content of the previous sentence" Please be careful when removing references which are obviously and directly on topic of the article. Quite often careless editors squeeze extra text in front of a reference, rendering it off-topic at the first glance. I fixed the case properly. Staszek Lem (talk) 18:03, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

@Staszek Lem: Hi, thanks for letting me know. But I do not understand why you reverted my removal of the reference. Now it seems that the part of the sentence: "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was released on May 19, 2015" is backed by this ref, http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2013/02/04/march-cover-reveal-witcher-3-wild-hunt.aspx , which is, of course, from 2013 and does not contain, as far as I could see, anything about that date.

Our edits to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

Greetings and felicitations. Regarding your question in your reversion of my edit to "Malaysia Airlines Flight 370":

Sorry, I think these shloud be en dashes separeted by space, as shown in MOS:DASH - "To separate parts of an item in a list". But perhaps I am missing another "rule"? We can also use a colon (or comma, if the specific relation permits it) instead.)

It's a tossup between unspaced em and spaced en dashes, as per MOS:DASH—it just depends upon which gets used first in the article. In this particular article, the usage is mixed, so I opted for my preference (em dashes). I prefer colons for date lists and definitions, in part to avoid this particular conflict, but I feel links are more ambiguous and so opt for dashes.

Anyway, whatever we work out, there are a few more changes I made in that edit that are less ambiguous:

• "Press releases / Media" is at least partially incorrect per MOS:SECTIONCAPS. I was previously unaware of the spacing per MOS:SLASH, and disagree with it, but I'll concede it if you insist. (While spacing en dashes in date and time ranges makes sense to me for readability, spacing slashes in compounds does not—the spaces seem extraneous.)
• "between 2–4 November 2016" is incorrect per MOS:ENTO (thus my previous deletion of "between").
• Per its own instructions and MOS:SECTIONORDER, the {{Authority control}} template needs to be re-placed at the bottom of the stack of navboxes.

Lastly, this is why I generally try to avoid reversion except in clear cases of vandalism or wholesale mistakes—reversion is a very blunt instrument and there is often (as in my edits) a lot more going on than a single type of change. —DocWatson42 (talk) 07:17, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi, concerning the three changes you mentioned above, I am OK with all of them. As for unspaced em and spaced en dashes, I think it is generally not just about "which gets used first in the article". That applies only with regard to punctuation in a sentence (parenthetical phrases, as described in MOS:DASH, "Punctuating a sentence (em or en dashes)"), not for ranges, compounds, and most importantly for our case, lists, as exemplified in MOS:DASH ("The Future" – 7:21). The application of this example to the external links section is just my interpretation but I think it is generally accepted (as opposed to unspaced em dashes), see for example Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Further reading ;-) The way I see it, the function of the dash in a list is to separate, not connect, and that is made more clear with spaced en dashes. Regarding reverts, I use them more freely than you; when there is a lot of changes, that are/that I believe to be incorrect, it is usually less confusing to revert all of them, and then sort it out in a discussion than trying to guess the reasons of the other editor for each separate change, and made more changes to the article based on that assumption. I hope you do not feel offended by my revert. Cheers, WikiHannibal (talk) 10:51, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Arms of alliance moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Arms of alliance, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Britishfinance (talk) 16:35, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Britishfinance, I wished you had elaborated more on that template. Since you have used it this way, do you think there was some info that was not sourced? (I belive all was sourced.) Or that the same info needed more sources other than britannica? Perhpas it did but I wonder if such basic info really does. Or the topic is not notable? The article exists in 9 other language versions, and the commons category has some 500 files. I created the article so that the English version exists and can be linked to the others. But I guess you probably just did not like that it was too short. I cannot help with that, sorry. WikiHannibal (talk) 17:59, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

@Britishfinance: I was just coming here to comment: can't remember why this talk page is on my watch list but I was surprised to see an article by an experienced editor draftified so I looked, decided Britannica was a good enough source, an undraftified it. Then found the commons category for "Arms of Alliance" and linked to this stub from the category description. I'm not a fan of draftification: a "refimprove" tag to ask for more sources might be appropriate, but Britannica is a good enough source for the article to stay in mainspace. PamD 18:07, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Worth also noting that it's linked from7 other articles in English wikipedia. PamD 18:21, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Sorry about that, you did have a valid source and it should not have been draftified (I use that for fully unsourced articles, or where the existing sources are unsuitable and deleted, and then it is draftified - of which there are a surprising amount, unfortunately). I think the source given, as a tag, when clicked on to verify doesn't go anywhere (e.g. "Heraldry 1911"), but there is an attribution tag below which I may have missed. I see that PamD has beaten me to it in restoring, however, I added another ref for the article in return. sorry again! Britishfinance (talk) 20:58, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

No worries, thanks for your response (and to PamD for restoring) and improving the article. WikiHannibal (talk) 15:16, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

2019 crash

On that page, the headline was literally "Boeing 737 max major design flaws, not a software failure" Thatphatguy (talk) 16:40, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

You added to 2019 Boeing 737 MAX groundings: "It was later revealed that the crash was not caused by a design flaw." and I wanted a source for that. The headline you quoted can hardly serve as a source for that. WikiHannibal (talk) 16:56, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

GOT question edit

Hello, Can you help me understand what you mean by constructive comment? For GOT, I added a fact to the criticism of the show, which is a fact, by a scholarly journal / source. It is a constructive fact that is neutral and constructs that the show is not blindly critically positive, but it has several issues in representations.

Thank you ,

Hi, your addition has been reverte five times by at lest 3 different editors; you were asked to discuss it on the talk page but instead added it again. ("Talk page" usually means the talk page of the article in question.) Similar edits of yours have (sometimes) been also reverted in other articles. The reasons added to the description summaries of your edits were, among pothers, "undue weight", "this is extremely minor and doesn't really belong in the main critical response section;... a bit overkill to include this as "criticism"", and "Entire section lacks sourcing and is highly subjective." I also asked "has been criticised by whom?", meaning one author critizing is not enough. See for example WP:UNDUE. Your April edits follow a pattern of adding "criticism" sections to a number of articles; after reverts, you defend them by saying it is a "scholarly source". So you can find more details/explanation in the edit summaries in other articles you edited. See also WP:ADVOCACY and WP:NOTHERE.

Also when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Article name, please be sure to sign your posts. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when. Thank you, WikiHannibal (talk) 12:15, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Deleting whole section in Assassination of Jamal Khashoggi Article

Hi my friend. I'm the writer of the section which you deleted. I saw your comment but I think this subject is too important and notable itself. So I think as Wikipedia rules, we can to open a new section in main article about Assassination of Jamal Khashoggi and pay in many paragraph about this subject. Please won't delete again the section and instead of deleteing help me to expand the section my friend.Thank you so much.Forest90 (talk) 11:48, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Richard Branson edit

Hi WikiHannibal, just fyi, the edit you reinstated here: [2] was actually made by an obvious sockpuppet of a blocked user (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/G.-M. Cupertino). They've been edit-warring this same edit for the past couple of weeks: [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. I've been reverting them for block evasion, as has admin Favonian, who has been blocking the IPs, but new ones keep popping up... You're entitled to reinstate the edit if you want to, but I thought you might not be aware of the situation, and maybe you'd like to consider the value of having that particular change, vs. the harm to Wikipedia by allowing this user to succeed in their edit-warring despite being blocked (see WP:BMB). Thanks! --IamNotU (talk) 16:07, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Nevermind - turns out Branson is a Knight Bachelor, not actually an LVO, so I guess it's moot... --IamNotU (talk) 21:41, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the correction, it seems the user was blocked after my edit so I did not know that. WikiHannibal (talk) 10:07, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

Ukrainian GOT Parody

You have undone my entry regarding a Ukrainian TV Series asking to add a source confirming it is a parody/satire based on GOT. This may be a perfectly warranted request for someone unfamiliar with the show but a bit hard to fulfill: the show has gone unnoticed in the Anglophone press or even blogosphere but for those who speak Russian the puns are too obvious to even comment upon: Petro Poroshenko as King Parasheon, Arseni Yatseniuk as Lord Yatsnow, Vitali Klichko as Lord Superstark, etc. The very name of the show too plays on the loose harmony of the words prestolov (of thrones) and nepristoinych (of the indecent ones), where two syllables sound alike. Also, if one looks at any given screenshot from the series (more than half of the episodes are available on Youtube), the doubts as to the genre of the show or its source of inspirations disappear. Would a link to a Youtube clip suffice as a source?

Hi, you can use non-English sources for claims such as "parody show" "were meant to pan" and please keep in mind WP:OR. I am not sure wheter the youtube videos can be used for anything more than just to support the claim it was based on GOT. Also I prefer discussing on the talk apge of the article as other editors can join easily. WikiHannibal (talk) 21:13, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello, WikiHannibal! Thank you for your clarification. Sorry for my not using the article talk page, my mistake.

Some baklava for you!

Appreciate your efforts on the page. Sorry for the edit overlap and I am nervous about fixing the structure you put in place without knowing how. Akrasia25 (talk) 20:17, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi, thanks, you may want to have a look if the refs are numbered correctly now, corresponding to the numbered list you wrote and commented upon. If not, you can change the numbers in your list or, alternatively, the order/placing of the references in the list/column which starts <ref name="Trouw"/>, <ref name="India"/> etc. WikiHannibal (talk) 21:03, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

White rhinoceros

(Undid revision 912670517 by Mitchellhobbs (talk) I checked the ref you added but is seems there is no info about the content of the sentence it was supposed to support. What exactly you wanted to use the ref for?)

this ~ "White rhinos can live to be up to 40–50 years old." ~ by the way nice to meet you. ~mitch~ (talk) 14:54, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi, sorry, I missed that sentence, plus I did not explain it properly in the summary: the better source tag belongs to all sentences starting after the previous ref because, as it seems, the source used contains much/all of that info but there are "slight" differences (e.g. "Longevity: they live up to 50 years" vs "White rhinos can live to be up to 40–50 years old") between the source and the article. As for your source, it does not seem very reliable to me as far as the age goes. Might be even copied from wiki. And anyway, it is not a source to the whole stretch of text before. So I would rather not include that. WikiHannibal (talk) 08:41, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

WikiHannibal, No problem, I'll work a little on the article ~ also I'll see what I can do to clear the tag(s), with some Wikipedia RS's. How do feel about me archiving some of the cites? Thanks ~mitch~ (talk) 10:17, 28 August 2019 (UTC) `

Hi, sure, pleae go ahead; I usually just try to prevent adding unsourced content. WikiHannibal (talk) 11:05, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Citation needed

The addition of a "citation needed" template is the usual way of indicating something needs a reference, rather than just removing the text you don't like. Please also see WP:NPA - I don't appreciate accusations of vandalism. I certainly don't get everything right 100% of the time, but I have never vandalised Wikipedia.

Cite is already there for Lion Air aircraft details flight 610

I haven't done anything but inserted additional information about the aircraft. Yes the aircraft first flew on 30 July 2018, what is the problem adding that additional sentence?! 2001:8F8:172D:65EA:E48E:56AA:54E3:DE13 (talk) 10:49, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

The problem is you inserted new information without adding a source of that information. Moreover, you inserted it in a sentence, which had its own sources, so after your edit it looked as if what you added was written in the sources already cited at the end of that sentence. Which was not a case. Is that clear? You should have added a source, as you did after my revert - thanks for that. See WP:VER, WP:RS for more details. WikiHannibal (talk) 11:22, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

Covid 19 Czech Republic

You undid an edit fixing the double counting of recoveries in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_pandemic_data/Czech_Republic_medical_cases_chart , because the data isn't in the source. Do I correctly understand that you're suggesting removing recoveries completely from both wiki pages as the source doesn't give historic recoveries information? Because right now you changed the bar chart (note that bar charts are cumulative) to give directly false information (you changed it to say there were 3001 active cases + 25 recoveries yesterday, which is absolutely not true). David Mulder - GreatSlovakia (talk) 06:28, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi, David Mulder - GreatSlovakia, I said in my edit summary "Hi, sorry, I think this is not a viable bcs the resulting numbers are not present in the source, which will lead to confusion (readers, editors), showing different numbers than the table in the article. Plus deaths are also not active cases, and it seems your change does not reflect that. Better to change the legend of the chart to "total cases" or something like that." I have not suggested anything like what you are talking about. My main immediate concern were the numerical data shows in the template. The source shows cumulative cases, and we should do accordingly to prevent cofusion for the reader/editor who may believe they are outdated/wrong. It is the legend of the template that should change. (Ut is not very informative anyway, "# cases" does not says "active" or "cumulative". Also the fact that deaths are not active cases was not addressed in your edit (not in your response above), and in this respect, the numbers you presented were incorrect even according to your "method". Your point about the historical data on recoveries is valid, and archived pages should be used as a source in the table in the article, and in the template as well, if you wish. Further discussion should be at the talk page of the tempalte so that other editors can contribute easily. WikiHannibal (talk) 07:31, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Poster on sneezing

Hi WikiHannibal! Thank you for your attention around the poster I submitted. Since I didn't want to spam, I guess you may help me figure out what changes are needed to the poster and/or its distribution. I believe it can be useful as a CC-BY resource, maybe not in wikipedia pages though. Thank you, Cheater no1 (talk) 15:38, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi, User:Cheater no1, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, so first you would need to make your poster/activity notable enough outside of wikipedia. You should not use wikipedia to promote anything, regardless how beneficial it is, per WP:PROMOTION, or use it as a distribution channel for ideas etc. Unfortunately I cannot give you any meaningful advice. WikiHannibal (talk) 15:46, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

Persistently adding unsourced content is disruptive editing. See WP:RS. WikiHannibal (talk) 14:32, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

May 2020

You currently appear to be 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. 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:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. 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.
It seems that you are trying to enforce your edits in the lead through editwarring and not consensus building. Here is your warning template. SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 16:48, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

• I have warned you. You are the editwarrior here. See WP:QUO and WP:BRD. You need to establish consensus first before reverting. I am going to give you a chance to self-revert yourself.-- SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 16:56, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

GRRM's Hugo speech

Believe me, I've known George for over forty years, and his speech was a major faux pas whose echoes will harm his reputation for decades to come, at least among writers and fans of color and their allies. The irony is that the mood of his speech was not reactionary (he's no Sad Puppy) but nostalgic and more than a bit cluelessly sentimental. The names, though, were just plain wrong and inexcusable. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:51, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Cyberpunk 2077

WikiHannibal, you have already inserted yourself into the discussion on Talk:Cyberpunk 2077 and so editing the text in question on the main body is extremely inappropriate – even moreso now that I had already made an official Request for Comment. That RfC is the only reason I have not already reverted your edit, since I am waiting for others to get involved. And besides, like I've already said repeatedly, the BBC citation the entire sentence is using as a source is the very same source I am pulling from. Thus, my edit did not fail to "provide a reliable source" and your removal on those grounds is thus incorrect. --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 18:36, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

Editing Banu Qurayza - RPN1234

I had edited the topic 'Banu Qurayza' with full evidence to an Islamic site written by an Islamic Scholar. I don't think there is any false statement which I have fired as the statement written on that Wikipedia page is from this source website itself. RPN1234 (talk) 01:10, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Banu Qurayza - RPN1234

I had changed it according to the Islamic website with clear proof . Here is the website

https://www.islamiqate.com/1569/why-did-prophet-muhammed-kill-900-jews-of-banu-qurayza

Before I had edited , another user formerly wrote that Muhammad had killed the tribe (but the editor didn't write the reason behind the order of killing them )

This is my explanation and it is up to you to decide whether I have vandalized the page or not RPN1234 (talk) 07:52, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

If the source meets WP:RS (which it probably doesn't, it being an answer to a question at that site), you should have added it as reference to the unsourced claim. You added "There has been claims that Muhammad killed Banu Qurayza for not converting to Islam." without any source. Here you can see what you changed: diff. The page is sourced from a number of scholarly publications. You have been warned three times before about adding unsourced material, and the warnings include links concerning using sources.

Malaysia 370

Hi, I hope this is the right place to talk, I am a bit new to Wikipedia. I came here after recieving your message. I clearly did not intend to provide misinformation. I had mentioned a source of my information in multiple instances, for example when I talked about the possibility of a Phone being connected to a cell phone tower, i mentioned the source as the Ministry of Malaysia, and those were official sources. Wherever there were some speculations I used the word, "unconfirmed reports", and the mistakes made by ATC and government are official records, though I do not have any link for the same, the article i mentioned was just because it was having a easy to understand explanation. Please suggest what can be done to restore my edit — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adityamilyin (talk • contribs) 18:06, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi, regarding your edit of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which I reverted, you added: " He is known to have political connections too. He was one of the most experienced pilot in Malaysian Airlines." and "he was likely to be certified pilot after this." without adding any source. (So, as you can see, I have nothing to do with your edit to the other article you seem to refer to - see cell phone, etc. in your message above) In any case, info you add must be followed by a reference, which usually is a link to a news article etc. You can find all info about references through Help:Introduction (that link is present in the Welcome message at your talk page. Specifically, you can start here: Help:Introduction to referencing with Wiki Markup/1, and/or WP:CITE. WikiHannibal (talk) 19:50, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

German gold mark article

Hi WikiHannibal, The text was translated from the German wiki article, so I was just following guidance of the tag. German wiki isn't so pedantic about inline references for non-contentious topics - it largely suffices to quote the sources in the bibliography. Anyway I'm glad you intervened so quickly; I won't bother now to translate the rest of the article. Perhaps you could remove the tag since it's clearly nonsense to recommend a course of action that is going to result someone wasting a lot of time and effort for nothing. Bermicourt (talk) 12:08, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi, well, shall I say? It seems you do not care much about inline citations even in articles you create, so it seems this is not about translation but editing principles, and any discussion would be futile. I believe that in the long run it is better to have less content that is precisely sourced than blog-like articles anyone can challenge in the future and cancel the effort of the editor(s). As for the removal of the tag, the tag also says "If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article." When the translator does that, it is not that much bothersome to add that checked source as an inline citation; so I hope some day someone will expand the article, including inline citations. WikiHannibal (talk) 12:35, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

No, you've misunderstood me. The articles I create are usually well sourced - otherwise I wouldn't have got so many through the DYK process. But creation and translation are separate skills. It's easy sourcing stuff you create; but trying to find sources for a translated article that don't come with it - well that's a whole different game and few people are going to do that which means, by your high standards, English Wikipedia will be missing a lot of perfectly good material. So I think you may be placing too high a bar on articles that Wikipedia itself doesn't insist on (although it prefers it) - otherwise millions of articles would get deleted. That's why the tag says "if possible". The stuff for which inline citations are critical are controversial subjects, big claims and biographical stuff. But as you say, let's agree to differ. It's not my loss as I can read the article at German Wiki; sadly, English readers will have to live the limitations of the one here. Bermicourt (talk) 18:48, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

I meant articles where you add content like here with new literature but no inline refs to some of the additions (the most telling example would perhaps be the addition of "the terminology for the contracts - Brand, Bettel and Mord - may be derived from the old German game of Brandeln, which dates to the 17th century."). You write about something you understand but for future generations (I mean it), it will be original research. I am not saying I do not like the articles or that Wikipedia should do without them but in more mainstream articles, this would be tagged as citation needed or OR (esp. the "may be derived").

Radegast (god)

Hello. I'm a little disappointed by your revert because I used known medieval sources, which are basic about information of Radegast. Don't you consider Helmold of Bousau and Adam of Bremen to be the relevant sources? Adam of Bremen describes Radegast as a "prince" and not as a god, that is, that he would be a mythical prince of the Raderians. Of course I will add them there. About the spread of Radegast among the Polabian Slavs it is a well-known matter and about other places there are no sources. Dragovit (talk) 13:27, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I did not revert because you "used known medieval sources" but because you did not add citations the your additions. The article is unsourced to such an extent, it cannot bear more unsourced material. Also if you want to use medieval sources directly, it would be best to include the quote. WikiHannibal (talk) 14:10, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

I own several books about the Slavic religion, but what I have written are mostly basics and that's why I didn't think sources were needed. For example, the article about Svarozich also talks about the identity with Radegast and there is also no source, it is because medieval sources describe both identically and there is no doubt about that. Of course, the information about the spread of his cult around the Elbe among the Polabian Slavs (and primarily the Redarians), I think, also didn't need sources, but I will add them as soon as I can. The information of the article is relatively outdated when Radegast is presents here as the god of hospitality of all West Slavs. Dragovit (talk) 21:47, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Please read WP:VER, especially the very first sentence, WP:RS, and WP:OR. It is irrelevant, how many books you own. Regarding your comment about Svarozich article, please see WP:OTHERCONTENT. If you wish to discuss your edits further, please do so at the article's talk page, so that future editors can benefit from the discussion. WikiHannibal (talk) 07:19, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Talk page

Hello WikiHannibal,

If you may know me, I was the one who you told about the Minor edits when I was new. So, I contacted you because I came on an article without a talk page. I am not much experienced with templates so I contacted you so you could help it. Here is the link. Thanks, Contributers2020 (talk) 05:14, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi, when you click on the (red) Talk page of that article, you can start editing the Talk page, thus creating it. It says at the talk page: "To start a page called Talk:James Lawson, Lord Lawson, type in the box below. When you are done, preview the page to check for errors and then publish it." Happy to help, WikiHannibal (talk) 10:03, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

Radogost

Hi WikiHannibal, thank you for restoring my edit on the Radogost (mythology) page. I thought I would let you know that User:Sławobóg has been engaged in an edit war with me on that page, and they likely will persist in their large-scale edits without providing satisfactory explanation, all the while calling my reverts vandalism. It may be worthwhile to keep an eye on this activity. Thank you. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 14:15, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Just to clarify

I didn't split Sinking of the Moskva. I just reverted an edit that would have led to the main article and the sinking article being redundant in scope, without prejudice against a bold merge back. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 17:21, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

You are right, the split was made earlier by another user, sorry about that; I just saw that after your edit, the article was left ina sorry state. WikiHannibal (talk) 18:19, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

Thank you

Hi WikiHannibal, thanks for checking up on my edit - I thought I had gone through all the sources (and swapped some out) properly but will revisit them all since you noticed that mistake. StartGrammarTime (talk) 04:39, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Attack on Snake Island

I have just reinstated you edit reverted on the Attack on Snake Island article. Seems one User with many past blocks continue to disrupt the edits being made.Mr.User200 (talk) 23:42, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

Mr.User200, please stop canvassing other accounts to aid you in your edit wars and disruptive editing. Volunteer Marek 06:36, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

China Eastern Airlines Flight 5735

Quick question about the China Eastern Airlines crash, did any of the provided sources on this crash so far give us the information on the spread pattern of the wreckage. If so, it'll be easier to determine if the aircraft broke in mid-air or was mostly intact when it impacted the ground.ₛₒₘₑBₒdyₐₙyBₒdy₀₅ (talk) 16:34, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Potential sock account?

Hey WikiHannibal, I've seen that you've had some dealings with F1V8V10V6. I had a lot of trouble with this users behaviour in the past as well, so I've had their talk page on my watchlist and saw their recent block. I thought they had generally cleaned up their act after being told off by administrators numerous times, but had my suspicions that they were making strange edits on the IP that you posted on their talk page as well. Now, on top of it, this other account SpeedOfLite (talk · contribs) blanks their user talk right after F1V8 was blocked. If you look at the brief edit history, it has a lot of similarities to a point of almost if it quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck. Same interest in Formula One (particularly Max Verstappen), the World War 3 videogame, and extinct species. As well as the aforementioned tendency to blank their talk page upon being criticized. I am thinking of an SPI, because problematic editing is one thing, socking is another, but thought I'd point it out to you first and see what you think about it. Cheers. --TylerBurden (talk) 13:59, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I agree that there are a lot of similarities. Not sure if enough for SPI, though. I do not really see "a misuse of multiple Wikipedia accounts" in this case and I do not know how hard it would be to provide evidence for SPI. I do not have much exp. with SPI, though. Personally, I would wait what happens during or after the block expires. Cheers, WikiHannibal (talk) 18:38, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

If it is a legitimate alternate account, it has not been disclosed as such which would be an issue, espescially being active on the same articles. Checkuser could probably confirm it easily, either way it's shady. You're right though, waiting a bit to see what plays out never hurts. TylerBurden (talk) 19:29, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

Well, I think the user is a kid who does not know much, if anything, about these policies but perhaps is able to learn. WikiHannibal (talk) 20:55, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

Again

So you decided to revert my reliably sourced edits citing that what the words I added was not present in the sources I provided? The ABC News reports concur and even mentions the Wall Street Journal's report about the recent statements from the U.S. officials in the investigation. I would like you to respond to my message this time please since the previous time I tried to contact you, you completely ignored my message. ₛₒₘₑBₒdyₐₙyBₒdy₀₅ (talk) 16:08, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I prefer discussing at the talk page of the article so that other editors can contribute if needed. Before my first revert, I checked info you added, and it is not in the audio or text of the ABC source. Please go through the source again more carefully, and you will see that the text you created is a misinterpretation. If you think it is not, please quote from the source. I am sorry but I cannot prove to you what does not exist, i.e to show you where in the article your info is, when it is NOT there. BTW not sure what you mean by saying you contacted me and I ignored you. When was that? WikiHannibal (talk) 16:13, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

@WikiHannibal Please examine the sources again buddy because the video source I used at 1:25 mark mentions that the investigators had looked into the personal life of the pilot and noted how "the younger pilot may have been struggling with undisclosed issues before the crash". The ABC news article also states "The near-vertical descent of the plane, they believe, would've required intentional force." ₛₒₘₑBₒdyₐₙyBₒdy₀₅ (talk) 16:16, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Also I contacted you last week on your talk page May 10 politely asking you if any sources detailed the pattern of the wreckage, which would indicate if the plane broke apart in mid-air. But I will start a discussion on the article's talk page as well so every editor can participate. ₛₒₘₑBₒdyₐₙyBₒdy₀₅ (talk) 16:19, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

I have replied at China Eastern Airlines Flight 5735 talk page but I repeat it here. You need to follow the sources more carefully. You quote "may have been", which is in the source, but you wrote "was most likely" in the article. Also "The near-vertical descent of the plane, they believe, would've required intentional force." is not the same as "deliberately put into a vertical dive by one of the pilots" as you added to the article (your WP:OR looks like it is certain it was the pilot). I hope you see the difference now. If not, please ask others at the article's talk page. As for your previous question above, I failed to recognize it was a question about how to improve the article, and considered it WP:NOTAFORUM, sorry for that.
