Comment request

Any chance you could comment at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Lists#List_of_largest_cities_by_U._S._state_historically.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:15, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

@TonyTheTiger:, I added some comments there and started sandboxing it here User:Tcr25/sandbox. There are a few issues that'll need to be thought through. First, isolating the data isn't very straightforward. Second, List of U.S. states and territories by historical population attributes population based on modern state boundaries (so Dakota Territory figures from the 1870 Census is split between North and South Dakota; West Virginia data prior to 1870 is extracted from Virginia data; etc.); would you want to do the same here? Or just use data from after each state was acquired. Another factor would be deciding what "city" means. In 1810, Alexandria County, D.C. as the largest subdivision within the District of Columbia, but Washington City was the largest municipality. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 16:24, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
Regarding the second point, look at List of most populous cities in the United States by decade and how in 1790 and 1800 several places in the 10 ten are now parts of Philadelphia. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 17:53, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Something about your radio user box

I was thinking if you can add a variant to the radio userbox you made that says "This user listens to weather radio". That exact text in quotation marks would be utilized if you add WX to the code. Let me know if added. CanadianAndNYer (talk) 03:16, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

List of largest cities of U.S. states and territories by historical population

Great work on List of largest cities of U.S. states and territories by historical population. You should probably talk to an admin and have the article history moved over too.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:12, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Given that I was the only editor involved, I don't think the history of me building out the tables incrementally adds much. Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 03:32, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
So how do we have 1800 NC #s, but not 1810?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:12, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
That's what the census report showed. The NC file shows no city-level reporting for 1810, but does have figures for 1800 and 1820 and later. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 16:34, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Regarding to prevent Bang-Maithili dialect of Maithili.

No, it is known by that name and is famous by the same name.If we change its name it will lose its identity.He has a strong relation with Maithili. You can Check the Wikipedia page of Maithili language there also mentioned that Bang-Maithili is a Dialect of Maithili language. In Begushorai mostly people spoke Standard Maithili with Thethi Maithili.And Bang-Maithili is always count in third or Other language of Begushorai.Due to Minority of Bang-Maithili people and lack of evidence everyone want to remove us that is so unfair and Unjustice. 2405:204:138B:E9E9:E1C1:34FB:178A:E4C6 (talk) 14:46, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

I’m trying to be sure you saw this because I mostly start something and no one replies. “I tried discussing this in the Wolverine in other media page in the film section but no one replied back. And besides the actor said himself that he’s been in discussion”. It’s not a rumor if the actor said himself he’s been discussing. 0Detail-Attention215 (talk) 17:56, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

About the User Radio userbox.

I've noticed an issue with the User Radio template - if the setting is set to DAB, it links to Digital audio broadcasting which redirects to a general page about digital radio. Digital Audio Broadcasting with the capitalisation refers to the specific standard of digital radio. UltrasonicMadness (talk) 23:09, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you, UltrasonicMadness. It looks like the page was moved to Digital Audio Broadcasting (capitalized) a few months ago and I didn't notice it. I've fixed the link. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 00:35, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Can we finish "talk page moves"

Hi: I understand your frustration, but may I suggest your closing the Wikipedia Nightstream ANI was premature in that I think there was likely to be consensus that "talk page moves" are disruptive but no agreement on remedy other than the offender should cease and desist. It is pretty clear that every editor experiencing a "talk page move" on pages they monitor found it disruptive.

Personally, I think it is vandalization where reversion occurs regardless of content, but apparently stating my opinion further confused the discussion leading to your frustration and your closing the ANI. I apologize for creating the confusion.

I would have preferred the inclusion of revision as part of the remedy, but some editors and most administrators would not approve of reversion of "unsourced." I don't like just ceasing the action and leaving the mess behind for other editors to correct but at least that would stop the one practice and create precedence for future stoppages. So may I request you reopen the ANI with discussion limited to whether or not it is disruptive, and the editor notified of such should decease.

If you are not interested in reopening the discussion on ANI I would appreciate your suggestion as to where to continue the discussion. I see three protentional forums:

  1. Village pump (policy)
  2. Wikipedia talk:Verifiability: Specifically, clarify "... may be removed ..." in WP:BURDEN to require a good faith effort at determining verifiability before removing any material (much less a lot of material))
  3. Wikipedia:Vandalism types: Specifically, clarfiy WP:V/RMV by changing "unreferenced" to "not referenceable" to require a good faith effort at determining verifiability before removing any material (much less a lot of material))

Bottom line, I think "talk page moves" are burning down Wikipedia to save it.

Your thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated. Tom94022 (talk) 18:35, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Tom94022, I wasn't the one who closed the discussion, that was NinjaRobotPirate. I agree with you that mass talk page moves as performed by Nightscream are not productive and fail to respect the obligations of WP:BURDEN (making the en masse move a WP:BADFAITH edit that can be reverted). That said, I also think engaging directly with Nightscream on it wasn't proving productive and it seemed the things kept pivoting away from focusing on the legitimacy of mass talk page moves. I'm not sure where best to raise the issue; I'm not an admin and usually don't involve myself with that side of the project. I think your suggestion of clarifying WP:BURDEN makes sense. Trying to address it in WP:V/RMV would probably be less effective for those who argue that essays don't carry the same weight as their interpretation of policy. (Although, by the same point, I'd say that even policy has to bend to WP:5P at times and that WP:NOTBURO applies. WP:IAR could also apply, but could cut both ways.) I wish I knew where best to suggest bringing the point forward, but I'd also say it would be good to look closely at the supposed successes Nightscream pointed to when defending his approach. I haven't really done that in depth, but there are a few comments I've seen that I would say demonstrate a lack of good faith in trying to address concerns before a mass talk page move (including this response when it was suggested he post at a WikiProject page prior to an en masse move.) —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 19:30, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for the prompt response. I repeated the above on NinjaRobotPirate's talk page so let's see if he has any suggestions. FWIW I think there are far more failures than successes with "talk page moves" and the successes are at best partial. Tom94022 (talk) 20:00, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
I agree and even if you count the addition of sources to radio as a success, as Nightscream seems to have asserted, the "success" came in spite of the talk page moves. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 20:10, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

Census

Hey, I think your edit on Kildin Saami was a slight misunderstanding, as far as I understand Russian, table 6 is about the native language of the people, as the phrase means: ”population according to native language”. ValtteriLahti12 (talk) 19:33, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Table 4 seems to have non-native speakers as the number for German ”Nemetskij” is over 1mil and it also includes multiple million English speakers, not possibly about the native speakers. Tables 4 and 5 also include Akkala, which has been declared dead since 2003, but known to have people with knowledge of the language even after the last native died. Tables 4-5 thus must be about languages learned. I think table 1 is the one about bare ethnicity, table one translates to ”Table 1. National composition of the population” ValtteriLahti12 (talk) 19:37, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
Hi ValtteriLahti12, I agree the title for Table 6 is "population according to mother tongue" and I don't understand the Russian census tallying system well enough to say for certain, but there's definitely something that doesn't align between the two tables. Table 4 is showing 259 people who "speak" Sámi and 168 who use the language in daily life. Table 6 shows 341 people who indicated Sámi is their mother tongue. The total of respondents for Table 4 column B is the same as Table 6 column B (~147.2 million people), which I'm understanding as indicating that the Table 4 column C (use the language in daily life) is a subset of column B (speak the indicated language). If those columns are exclusive of each other, then Table 4 and Table 6 numbers are closer (427 in Table 6 vs. 341 in Table 4), but would mean that about 20% of reported Sámi speakers don't consider it their native language. Table 1 shows 1,530 people reporting Sámi "nationality," for what that adds to the consideration. I've seen estimates from 100 to 800 speakers (with the lower number being for active/fluent speakers) so all these numbers fall in the middle ... I still think the Table 4 column B value is the most accurate count of "speakers," mostly because in my mind someone could culturally identify with a mother tongue but not really consider themself a speaker of the language. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 20:55, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
To that last point, to use a personal example, I'm from Louisiana and my family lost French as our day-to-day language at my great-grandmother's generation. My grandmother might have considered French as a mother tongue (it was literally the first language of her mother), but it wasn't the language she learned, used, or passed on to my mother. (Totally recognize that I might be making a distinction that doesn't exist for respondents to the Russian census, but it's part of the lens I'm looking at this through.) —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 20:59, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
There might be something about people identifying as "natives" without being absolutely fluent because of their cultural background, I slightly discussed this in a Votic group and one commented "Usually it means someone of Votic origins trying to learn and use their historical language.", though it seems clear from Table 4 that it includes non-native speakers (as I doubt there are multiple million English natives in Russia), which is why it might be better to just go with 6. --ValtteriLahti12 (talk) 21:01, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
I guess the problem is that if the numbers at Table 4 are used, multiple non-native speakers will be likely count in, while with Table 6 there might be many who just use it as an identity. --ValtteriLahti12 (talk) 21:08, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
Like as an example in Table 6, only 1 thousand claimed to speak Finnish natively, while in Table 4 there are 14.000 Finnish speakers. --ValtteriLahti12 (talk) 21:11, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
Yep, the difference for Swedish is even more extreme between the two tables. Part of it depends on if you equate "native speakers" with "first language," "primary language," or "fluent." I don't know if WikiProject: Languages has a clear standard here. If it's identity that's one thing; if it's fluency (which could include language learners), then the Table 4 column C "use in daily life" column might be the best one, but that would definitely miss people. I'm okay sticking with the Table 6 number (it, as with the Table 4 numbers, is within the previous estimated range). —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 21:15, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
Table 6 might be the safest one to use as it at least claims to represent native speech, it is also plausible that some who claimed to speak Saami natively may think it redundant to report on their ability to know the language, which can explain the difference to some degree. --ValtteriLahti12 (talk) 21:20, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
I went to look at the forms used in the census and it appears to have separately asked "what languages do you know" and "what is your native language", a very plausible theory is that many of those who reported their native language as being Kildin, saw it as redundant to add it to the list on what languages they speak. --ValtteriLahti12 (talk) 21:26, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
That's possible. For a minority language where it's a strong part of your identity, though, I could see the opposite and someone would want to note it in every instance possible so that your language/people aren't invisible. But it's all speculation on our parts. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 21:38, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
Well it can be a combination of both, but we should probably just take the statistics that claim native speech just to follow the reference used, as the infobox is meant to follow the number of natives.--ValtteriLahti12 (talk) 21:51, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Question about Clipperton Island

Hey @Tcr25, so I noticed that a couple of the articles you've worked on in the past are now good articles. Do you think the [[Clipperton Island]] article would would pass the requirements to be a good article? I've never done this sort of thing before but we both put a bunch of work into that article. Case in point the Clipperton Island article we improved last month is way more fleshed out then the French or Spanish versions. Give it some thought and if you're interested in moving forward let me know and I'll do what I can to move this forward. Dr vulpes (💬 • 📝) 06:43, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Hey, Dr_vulpes! I think a few things probably should be done, first, primarily in § 21st century to make it less a chronological string of events. Some of it is a bit trivial and should just be (the 2019 earthquake and (in § Castaways) the fisherman who drifted past the island but couldn't reach it); other bits might be able to be shifted elsewhere in the article. For example, the fish smuggling bit might make sense as a line under § Flora and fauna highlighting treats to the ecosystem or a new "Environmental threats" section (hopefully with a better title) that includes marine diversity, climate change threats, and pollution, which would pull a few other grafs out of 21st century. Also, consider adding a "Governance" section that discusses its current political status within France (and include in that the bits about transfer of control to the Minister of Overseas France, Philippe Folliot's visit, the formal renaming in 2022, etc.). That said, go ahead and put it up for consideration; the worst thing that happens is there's more feedback about things that might help improve it. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 13:42, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Userbox Request

As the creator of many userboxes I deem important, I am submitting a formal request to be able to rep a Tcr25 "I have visited the Beijing Zoo" userbox.

Let the world zoo-travelers represent ourselves! Themoonmonkey (talk) 01:24, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi Themoonmonkey, are you asking me to create these userboxes? Or asking permission to make them? I'd consider making some more, but if you'd like to make them, by all means go ahead and do it. If you need some guidance/advice, please let me know. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 01:56, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Nice work on this: Portrait of a Creole Woman with Madras Tignon! I was happy to see this painting on the main page, and have often wondered about the backstory. Thank you for your work! Netherzone (talk) 00:09, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:Roger Manning (SST).jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Roger Manning (SST).jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:29, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

I am a member of LDS and it isn’t a religion. It’s a way of practicing living a good humble life. I am also a conspiracy theory nerd who is just walking up and evolving. I’ve been to purgatory and I know where I will end my journey. You should look into the 3 kingdoms 184.147.201.145 (talk) 15:38, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Henry Gregg (disambiguation)

Notice

The article Henry Gregg (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This disambiguation page contains the primary topic and one other topic for the ambiguous title and no other topics can be found within a reasonable time.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:02, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:The Lovecraft Investigations podcast.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

New Orleans CSA map

Thank you for updating File:New Orleans–Metairie–Hammond combined statistical area.svg to show the new Slidell MSA. However, as part of the same definition change, Hammond was moved from the New Orleans CSA to the new Baton Rouge CSA, so this is causing some problems on various metro area pages when the image doesn't match the text. Would you mind creating a new version? -JD (talk) 03:43, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for flagging this, JD. I've gone ahead and created a new File:New Orleans–Metairie–Slidell combined statistical area.svg map and will update uses of the old map. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 12:27, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
