Huggle message

Hello. I just want to let you know that in the coming version of Huggle (3.4.5), there will be a new feature of editing pages directly inside Huggle using an edit form. The edit form functions same as the web one. The default shortcut for this is E and the shortcut for "Edit page in browser" (which previously was E) has changed to Alt+E. If you want more non-automated edits or you prefer editing pages in the browser, you can swap the shortcuts of the above. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or Petrb. Thank you. ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 01:56, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

@Abelmoschus Esculentus: Are you involved in Huggle development? Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 04:39, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

Yes. I mainly suggest features, develop and test latest codings in testwiki (incidentally I'm a sysop there). ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 04:41, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

@Abelmoschus Esculentus: I need to RTFM. I probably can use about 5% of Huggle's features. Thanks for all of your work! Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 20:40, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

No problem! Huggle documentaries and manual need to be improved too... ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 10:04, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

@Abelmoschus Esculentus: That orange bar has been giving me a headache. Nice to see a friendly face! Maybe I should stop with the RCP and work on the manual? Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 10:07, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Halfbakery

Hi, I made the mods you reverted on the Halfbakery wiki page. I'm a moderator on that site. It's been down for months; Google now treats "halfbakery.com" as a search term rather than an address. I propose reverting to my version, and undoing the change if the site returns to life in the future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.0.165.10 (talk) 05:50, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

Well i have a question!

Before attacking them, they insisted that they had the right to choose someone's birthplace over a non existing country and deleting the actual state that exists now, who gives the right to choose on how a country does not exist ? Is wikipedia an actual encyclopedia or just a massive propaganda fueled by slavo-serbo folk rage,and nationalism so they claim rights on everything they can touch? Do i have to give actual birth certificates of people to see that there is written "Kosovo" somewhere and not only YUGOSLAVIA ? Or is that out of question as being oppressed on albanians has been cool before it was cool,and always stealing rights to express the actual facts and reverting them biased ! I attacked because there should on every albanian-kosovar birth places "Kosovo.Then yougoslavia" Doesn't matter if its defacto-dejuro a state or not, its a place that most of the world knows it exists, make it happen or just semi lock the threads for no further edits to be made. I can see the frustration over some simple things but please as another person to another one,make things right if you're so righteous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Armeendb (talk • contribs) 20:06, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi Jim1138, I removed the content just because I noticed that there was the same plot for 2 episodes. I verified all the episodes plot on IMDb and the plot for Episode 6 "Secrets" is actually missing. For this reason I removed it also from the Wikipedia page.

The citations give a one sided view of the historical events on the poet. Since these are politically sensitive issues, Wikipedia needs to be careful about the sources used/citations used and refences used to write on poets. Let us not forget that while poets essayists and administrators are to be studied, obsessed over in all manners possible. We should not in any manner hurt sentiments of the individuals concerned, especially by posting/manipulating references to twist/distort or contort content to present an individual in bad light.

If references and citations are what is needed, I shall add them. Let me know if that is your primary concern. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.207.75.133 (talk) 06:45, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi Jim. African Americans fit the qualifications the UN designated as stateless nation. You do not need a direct source for them to fit it

Hello Jim,

I have noticed that yourself and Doug Weller have deleted African Americans from the qualifications for 'stateless nation'. The following definition of qualifications is listed just before the list:

The following is a list of stateless nations that meet these criteria:

has no sovereign state of its own.[30] - african Americans are neither a majority nor control any American state.

does not form a majority in any sovereign state.[31] - See above

one or more autonomist or secessionist movements are known to exist.[32] - Over history, the BPP, the ACP, the BLP, not to mention many failed slave insurrections

not recognized by any UN members as a state (see also: partially recognized state).[33]- African Americans are not

not a subgroup of a nation (Bengali Hindus, Mexican American).- African Americans are not a 'subgroup' in that there is no singular "Country of Africa" from which we came from. AA culture is derived from millions of people brought from hundreds of cultures all over Africa, then adapted by force to the whim of Anglo American labor needs. We are not a subgroup in that we've been in America as long as Western Europeans have. There is no "African America" in Africa which matches uniform African American cultural elements. These were blended and developed here. African American Vernacular English. The origins of Blues, Jazz, Rock and Roll, Disco, Funk, Rap....all specifically African American culturally *until appropriation*

Doug Weller and yourself continue to erase African Americans as a people from the page as if we are a sub culture to what... white Americans (no scholar would buy that)? Southern whites (even Southern Whites...especially southern whites...would laugh at that assumption).

Even genetically, African Americans have common specific blend of black, white and native that is not commonly found among other groups.

The UN designation and recognition is not required to fit the UN definition. I have to ask why you keep arguing that we as a people do not exist? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:601:9680:D3E:1D95:DF58:2A08:2FC6 (talk) 06:55, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

SeaRates.com ports listing

Hi Jim,

How should the relevant information about statistics, routes, services, coverage and rates can be found at specialized portals for container shipping be added to the article? Right now the domain have been noticed as blacklisted, which is most probably by mistake, as me and my colleagues from logistics speciality are using the resource as one of the oldest and most reliable ones. I will try to request whitelisting of it.

Stefrogovskiy (talk) 09:56, 17 July 2018 (UTC) Stefan

@Stefrogovskiy: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a listing service. See wp:NOTDIRECTORY. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 09:59, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

@Jim1138: Agree with you, noted, but there should be a way to mention an authoritative resource in encyclopedia with a right reference to valid ports information, available for readers, isn't it? Like movies refer to IMDB.

@Stefrogovskiy: The question is "which one?" Googling "Container shipping rates" returns quite a few hits. List them all and the article might become unnavigable. Limit to one, the others would probably complain. That might happen with the likes of Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB, AllMovie, etc., if there become too many. If you wish, broach the topic on wp:Village pump. You should check the archives first. It's likely been discussed before. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 10:55, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Your additions were removed not because they were wp:spam, but they were not sourced. Per Wikipedia's policy of wp:verifiability, all significant content needs to wp:cite a wp:reliable source. This is especially important for wp:biographies of living persons (BLPs) such as Jen Miller. Use of one's own knowledge is wp:original research, is not verifiable and therefore not acceptable. Also, please understand you are simply an IP address and wp:Wikipedia is anonymous. So, I don't know who you are and if you are friend or foe of Miller. So, find a source or leave it off. Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 08:35, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Jakub Smrž

If you check the official EWC website, it states he is a member of the team there. There is no consistency in citations for motorcycle riders teams, so if you are going to remove that one, you may as well remove every one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.38.93.132 (talk) 10:54, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Smrz is a serial-crasher towards the end of his undistinguished career, just making up the numbers in mediocre teams with little press coverage, who will never be any good due to inconsistency and should stop riding. Leaving aside my opinion, here is his quote (reproduced in Facebook, 5 July) regarding the latest (ongoing) injury situation that stops him from riding, including for the UK team but particularly for a European Endurance Team:

Here's the update from Kuba, Get well soon from all at PR Racing. Kuba Smrž: "Today I was on X-ray control by surgeon MUDr. Toufar and everything is OK. Now I'll have small rehabilitation and after four weeks I can move more. And if everything will be good, in eight weeks the metal will go out and I can do full rehabilitation."

This IP is a menace (having a history of surveilling racers' social media, then transposing media-unreported changes in real-time) with edits of a few bytes only into the lede of many articles causing regular editors much down-time picking up the pieces. Looks like I'll have to do it......(update the Smrz article).--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 19:17, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

@Rocknrollmancer: None of the anon's edits cite any source as far as I can see. I undid a number of the anon's unsourced edits. Most of those BLP racing articles need more citations as well. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 21:32, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

The IP's actions have been many small unsourced changes to a large number of articles - some more obscure than others - for a number of years now - but I do pick up on a few on Watchlist. It is becoming more difficult for us, however, with (primary source) teams choosing Facebook presences in preference to paid-for domain names, and media choosing to share and/or re-tweet from those sources, the equivalent of press-releases, whereas, as publishers, they are surmised to be vetting the sources. Muchas.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 14:44, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Luca Scassa

As stated above in the Jakub Smrz section, all information is taken from the official EWC website. Which clearly states that Luca Scassa drives for the No Limits Motor Team, again if you are going to remove this, you may as well remove every single motorcycle racer team information as very few have citations.

Best for Britain

Hi there

Some changes have been made to the Best for Britain page to correct several inaccuracies that were there. - it stated `Gina Miller is a director of Best for Britain' - she never has been a director of the campaign or company behind it. Gina joined Best for Britain as a spokesperson for the duration of the tactical vote campaign during the 2017 election, leaving afterwards to focus on other projects. Best for Britain was founded as a company in late 2016 (the company name is UK-EU Open Policy Ltd) by several people listed at Companies House, Gina was not therefore one of the founders of what become the Best for Britain campaign. This was an inaccuracy that has now been rectified. Given how many inaccuracies there are in the press about Gina Miller and Best for Britain, it's vital for historical accuracy the roles are set out correctly on wikipedia.

This also relates to the changes in the box on 'founders' and 'key people'.

Please be specific about the inaccuracies you think the original text reflected, as the text I proposed is in fact accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.244.237.110 (talk) 10:57, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

I changed the result because neutral sources claim that. Most of the Indo-Pakistan conflicts on wikipedia are heavily biased because they most of them use Indian government sources as references.

MOS:INITIALS and MOS:NICKNAMES

You seem to be confusing these sections, applying the style of the latter to the former. Foo "Bar" Baz style is only used for nicknames and other pseudonyms, not initials. If you think reader confusion could somehow result, you could use the standardized approach taken at CC Sabathia and CCH Pounder. Even this is probably overkill; it's extremely unlikely that any reader is not going to understand in absence of these "known commonly as" or "known professionally as" comments.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  06:00, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi Jim1138, you didn't leave a message for me, but I saw you left it for the unregistered editor. I would like to say that person made 3 changes, all of which were false as the date they were claiming something happened, said subject was not in that city/state on that date, and they were very untrue facts about his life.

@Asluckyasus: Unfortunately, many wp:BLPs get vandalized. About all one can do is put them on their watch list. If the vandalizing gets 'excessive', one can request page protection. WP:RfPP.

About my edit to Pig Destroyer

I see that you reverted my edit to the page, I think it's my fault for not leaving a summary, I need to keep that in my mind when it comes to adding or removing content. But, why I removed some content was that the reference wasn't with the right information in the lead part, the reference article didn't explain why Evans was replaced, it was a reference already added about Blake Harrison's inclusion in the biography section, on top of that another site was typed into the URL making the link invalid. It was recently added too when some lead was added by another user, and I'd thought to remove the incorrect reference and expand upon the lead, and also give more information to how the band started along in their biography with some more recent info. In my edit, I still left the original reference in to Blake Harrison's inclusion and fixed its URL to lead to the correct article, I just moved that piece of information in the biography to make it more chronologically organized. I would appreciate if my edit could be put back into place. Mrcoolj90 (talk) 15:32, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

@Mrcoolj90: My apology. If you want to get a reminder on edit summaries, you can set it in Preferences/Editing Editor/Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. It can be really annoying ;oP, but it is greatly appreciated by us wp:RCPers. If the ES gets too long, one can always add a brief ES with "see talk" and add a new section there.

indrajita

Hello, you undid my correction of the misspelling of the word indrajita. the way it works is that sanskritham (the language in which the word indrajita comes from) does not end w/ consonants. however,derived languages like Hindi,bengali,punjabi, etc. do.

so the actual name should be indrajita. if you search for indrajita, you will also get plenty of results. unfortunately as a majority of english newspapers are based out of regions where derived languages are spoken, it may actually get more search results but it doesn't reflect the actual name nor the prevalence of the name. not to mention that this is a sanskritham name & a sanskritham character & not one restricted or originating from derived languages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.44.177.134 (talk) 16:15, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Yes...in Hindi. which is what i've been specifically saying. In Sanskrit derived languages, the word is Indrajit, like Rama is turned into Ram or Lakshmana is turned into Lakshman and so on, but not in the original Sanskrit language. If you read the script, the last letter is त. put that into Google translate & let me know what sound you hear. The page is full of spelling mistakes, if i don't change it, then who will? Not only of Indrajeeta but also for Laskhmana's name & plenty of asthra names are improperly spelled.

Changed the Sanskrit spelling & the accompanying information but not the rest of the hindi spelling of the name.174.44.177.134 (talk) 02:29, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Someone correct the Qais Abdur Rashid page please I dont know how to use this thing!

On the Qis Abdur Rashid page on the Genetics section it says no genological link found between Ancient Isemeetic Israelites and pahsutns next to that could you please write {HOW WOULD YOU KNOW IF THERE IS NO ANCIENT ISRAELITE SUBJECT TO CONFIRM YOUR STATEMENT?} Because we cant just accept empty claims now can we, especially seeing that a nation of 50 million + with tribes documented and undocumented rangine from 5000 + are purely structure on the basis of Israelite progenitor. We cannot just ignore that people.... Secondly when it says in the genetics section pashtuns have 51% r1a which makes them related to their neighbours write {THE KYRGYZ HAVE 61% R1A YET THEY ARE NOTHING LIKE PASHTUNS?} because seeriously, polish people have about 39% r1a, pashtuns 51% and kyrgyz 61% yet all of them are nothing like each other but some ***hole is trying to makes us like one people? please do justice, thanks :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:3B92:6F00:A973:C0DF:45DC:6796 (talk) 09:18, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi Jim,

This is our query regarding our Wikipedia page (TestingXperts). We try to submit our page but every-time it gets rejected. So could you please look into this and guide us about how to write our page.

Pine Tar

I made the change because the statement "Pine tar has been banned...," is false. Products containing pine tar can be readily purchased. How do I cite that?

Additionally, the claim that production methods result in the creation of creosite is false. Modern production methods do not result in the creation of this carcinogenic substance. Instead of asking me to cite a source proving that claim, perhaps the original author should do a better job of providing balanced information.

Oz? on methanol

Hi, I was wondering about your rationale or some policy for converting mL units to ounces. Cheers, --Smokefoot (talk) 23:27, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

@Smokefoot: The US fluid ounce is what most Americans are familiar with, unfortunately... The 100ml median lethal does was already given in fl oz, so I added fl oz to the other two. Jim1138 (talk) 23:52, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

By "American," you mean people in the US? Canada is metric. Most users of en-Wikipedia are not in the US, and this adding ounces could get prolonged and thorny, and it implies (to me) a cultural bias or parochialism (not that I am accusing you of bad intentions) --Smokefoot (talk) 01:03, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

@Smokefoot: It appears the "People of the United States" hold the trademark for "American" https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/american There are many instances in Wikipedia where American units are used in conjunction with metric units. {{Infobox football biography}} will automatically converts height to both units.

Personally, I despise "English American units". Maybe Wikipedia should ban them altogether. I work in a science industry where all the specifications are given to me in metric units and the result needs to be in metric units. The people I give my designs to use American units and American unit tooling. So I have to deal with all of that. I got a tape measure which is calibrated in metric on one side and that other measuring system on the other. Nifty idea! However when I use it, I usually have to use both sides of the tape to take a measurement. So, I have a list of numbers in both units and have to convert it later. Then there is the likes of Gimli Glider and such. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 04:11, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Just a note: I'm not sure if it can cover most cases, but {{Convert}} also allows to automatically convert units. —PaleoNeonate – 07:04, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

@PaleoNeonate: like 400 metres (1,300 ft)? Gee, works! Wait a minute, meters is spelled out, feet is abbreviated. That's anti-American! Say, what's the unit code for attoparsec? Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 08:01, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi Jim, sorry to have hit a nerve, but my question is not really about our personal feelings or anything like that, I was looking for policy. So is it Wikipedia policy that guides your inserting the "convert" code or is it your own idea or what is going on here? Thanks for reponding.--Smokefoot (talk) 13:05, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

@Smokefoot: MOS:CONVERSIONS, but recommendations are somewhat subjective. It's a science-related article, but the topic is in an area that a person w/o a science background would be interested in. If you feel it should be removed, be my guest. You didn't hit a nerve, except maybe my rant nerve. Sorry... Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 16:08, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Yes, your thinking is what I was thinking ...nonscientists might read an article on methanol and ethanol. I was nervous that you or someone were contemplating a broad changes on all metric-based articles. Thanks for your time and have a good one.--Smokefoot (talk) 16:49, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

@Smokefoot: I may be nuts, but not insane enough to add them to every article. Well, maybe you know me... (could write a bot to do it. )

I noticed late last night that an anon added the hazards template to ethanol here, but inadvertently seems to have referenced and copied data from a calcium hydroxide reference NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards. "#0092". National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). for the PEL limits. I tagged it with a non in citation. I'm overwhelmed at the moment. Trying to figure out what to do with talk:List of colors Jim1138 (talk) 17:10, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

@Smokefoot: People keep changing the NPAP 704 NFPA-H = parameter on CO2, ethanol and methanol. Even with the citation nearby and comment on methanol. Sometimes they even delete the source or reference a photo I was thinking of hiding the value between two comments so that the editor might actually read the comment. Jim1138 (talk) 17:18, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

I never read or edit hazard info. I dont understand them, and such information is not of interest to me. Fortunately some colleagues to monitor that info, which are targets of vandalism. I guess one of these days, information in the chemical databoxes will be locked more securely than is done presently. If you see a recurring issue, leave a note at the chemistry project.--Smokefoot (talk) 17:28, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi. It is public record that World Financial Center has changed it's name to Brookfield Place. That is where American Express headquarters is. So my change, was correct. Please advise why you feel otherwise. My cite below:

"Following expansion, the entire World Financial Center complex was renamed Brookfield Place, in conjunction with similar complexes in Toronto, Calgary, and Perth owned by Brookfield.

Mamamoo Blackface Incident

Hi Mr. Jim,

I was wondering if it would be possible to edit the Mamamoo page to remove this particular bit about their Blackface incident. Many edits have been made by anonymous users to remove that bit from Mamamoo's career section for the following reasons (as stated in other wiki forum talks)

- the incident held no relevance to their propularity, unlike the bullying scandal with T-ara - there are many other kpop groups who have done problematic actions out of ignorance or cultural differences such as GD and BTS - the pages of idols does not mention such incidences. - the Mamamoo page would set a precendent that we should follow and thus, post the history of other groups. - following that line of thought, it could possibly open floodgates of fans complaining and mass editing the wiki pages of their idols.

Please respond with your thoughts on this. Jenmoo (talk) 07:44, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Please request with an wp:edit request on the article's talk page. See help:talk pages Jim1138 (talk) 07:49, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Firstly, thanks for the mail. Yes, their English is kinda like Korean English (which is REALLY REALLY bad). Also, the concert is in 2017, why people raise this question so late?

Secondly, some observations (FYI):

1. Bovie94 edits after Viratvio and Viratvio hadn't been editing since the creation of Bovie94.
2. How do Bovie94 and Diaw25 know Viratvio posted a message here (I assume they are new)?
3. Their usernames are similar, following the format "XXXXYY" (YY is a number, XXXX is a random word)

Thirdly, you are more experienced than me, you have been editing Wikipedia for over 10 years (!!!), why do you say I have a better judgement? (Because you think I'm younger?) ~ Abelmoschus Esculentus (talk to me) 09:12, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Hurricane Harvey relief edit

I made the modification to delete the Antifa relief efforts. I was there on the ground and saw no relief efforts actually completed by anarchists or antifa. They just blogged, staged a few photos after the immediate need had long passed and complained about other groups. In fact they mad threats to other groups for their activities. The item cited was an interview where they talked about relief but no proof was given. This should not be included. If it is then there should also be the inclusion of the various milita groups and motorcycle clubs doing relief, of which there was significant more evidence for.50.224.251.254 (talk) 16:41, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

gold sheen sapphire

Thank you for this information. I didn't know or understand why people keep changing that page back to false facts within hours. It seems one needs to know how to use wikipedia because there are many rules and these rules require a lot of reading to know about. I am new to this. The facts about the false citation are true by the way. There are no URLs to quote. This is a world cover up. Speak to Brendan Laurs chief editor of Journal of Gemmology on the phone or email. We are in possession of private witness statements (signed by registered companies.) To check if Tanzim Khan is selling goldsheen sapphire - do a web search and you come across his shop "Genuine gems and jewelry", Bangkok and thousands of references to gold sheen. http://www.bkkgems.com/exhibitor_detail.php?id=386 There are thousands of references to Tanzim Khan selling gold sheen, especially at trade fairs.Locusmt (talk) 09:41, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
