WP:RY

Your edit to the guideline should have reflected consensus, and I don't think it did. Arguments against inclusion of a birth/death in year articles include the quality (or, at least, the length) of both the en.Wikipedia article and that of the articles on foreign wikis. In fact, there may even be consensus that, for deaths, the en.Wikipedia article needs to be more than a sub-stub at death. User:The Rambling Man (who doesn't want me to ping him) insists that, to be consistent, I should have reverted your edits to WP:RY, as well as his. Personally, I don't consider you a disruptive editor, so I don't see what he calls "consistency" as a requirement. But he does have a point (or, at least, a WP:POINT), so some discussion seems in order. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:28, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

I don't recall that there was ever a case that someone was included after failing the minimum criteria just because the article about them was well-written. And I have never argued that someone who passed the minimum should be excluded just because their article was poorly written (and I don't recall that anyone else has either); it may have been that it was poorly written but that would have been coincidental to that fact that the actual content did not reflect any international notability. I have certainly argued that the quality of the non-English articles is a factor in exclusion, but that is not the issue here. As I understand it, TRM is arguing that a good quality article indicates notability when it does not, it may only reflect notability. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 20:35, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

No he is not. Quality and notability are two different parameters. Please don't put words in my mouth. And Rubin, you're the disruptive one, claiming one editor can't change a guideline and reverting it while allowing another editor to do precisely that. Abusing your position. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:06, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Yes quality and notability are different parameters. The current requirement for inclusion in year pages is notability, not quality. And I did not put words in your mouth, here is a quote from the Recent Years talk page: "I believe a quality criterion needs to be added to this project". DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 08:14, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

You said "TRM is arguing that a good quality article indicates notability" which is patently untrue. If you don't understand that, perhaps best not to make comments or claims on my behalf. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:19, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

(edit conflict)Currently the only requirement for inclusion is notability. You want to add a quality criterion for inclusion. Why? If quality does NOT indicate notability then why would we need a quality requirement for inclusion? Feel free to clarify your intentions on this matter. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 08:29, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

What are you talking about? How do you think FAC or FLC or ITN or OTD or DYK ... works? The Rambling Man (talk) 08:31, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Who cares? They are completely unrelated to Year articles. Show me which category they have in common. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 08:34, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

They are examples of projects which use both quality and notability. That's what I'm saying, not all the stuff you're making up. Now then, let's focus on those RfCs, and how we're going to change the project as a result of them demonstrating beyond a shadow of a doubt that RY is currently not aligned with community expectations. See you later! The Rambling Man (talk) 08:36, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

ANI complaint against Arthur Rubin

I'm asking you to copy my statement from the Arbcom complaint against me to the ANI report against me, and add the following to my sentence about adding diffs from my phone: It's possible to add diffs from my phone. It takes many times longer than on the desktop, but it's possible. What is not possible is recovering from an Edit conflict. Control-C, Control-V, and control-A (select all) are possible, but not shift-click (select to cursor).

— Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:05, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Tap and hold within the text to highlight a word, drag the first cursor to the start of the block of text you want to copy, drag the second cursor to the end, copy, paste. As I'm sure you already know perfectly well. ‑ Iridescent 19:24, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Alternatively you can go to [1] choose Edit Source than Select All and Copy. On the ANi page you can choose edit and paste on your phone. In the unlikely chance of an edit conflict in an essentially concluded ANi thread, just paste again. I rarely use a desktop and do just fine on my phone. Good luck. Legacypac (talk) 20:14, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Or just type at ANI what you want to write in there using your phone. This page, for instance, is outside your editing restrictions, but because you're an admin, you're safe from any kind of sanction. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:26, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Or better still go to Bishonen and ask for a self-requested indef block. –Davey2010^Talk 20:52, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Dear Derby, please take a look at his talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Richard_Arvin_Overton (more fan-fluff nonsense!) I did delete the offending information, but that edit was reverted. Regards, MattSucci (talk) 07:10, 6 August 2017 (UTC) .

Limbo cases

You saying there needs to be a source saying someone has died for them to be removed from the oldest people list is completely unreasonable. These are just regular people who lived to high ages so there are not going to be sources for all of their deaths. So some of them go into limbo which means there is a possibility that they are dead because of no updates or an unofficial death report and when this happens they shouldn't be on lists of living people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dorglorg (talk • contribs) 02:58, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Unfortunately, someone has to. Most of the GRG fan club got booted off Wiki for the same reasons and are now playing in the 110 club where they can be pathetic to their hearts content.

My Answer to your Warning:

Hello DerbyCountyinNZ! Seriously why im getting a warning?? I deleted a wrong information in "List of oldest living people". The age of "Maria Emilia Quesada" isn't verified, she isn't even in the ranking of the Supercentenarians as well!She doesn't belong in the list of the oldest living peoples(because it needs to be verified) Source: http://www.grg.org/SC/WorldSCRankingsList.html This warning was just misplaced...Jonx11 (talk) 05:20, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

This topic has been going on the talk page for weeks and you can see from the edit summaries for the article that removing her goes against consensus. The position of only the GRG verifying age is NOT tolerated as per the RFC as noted in the talk page. Editors who make edits on a "GRG only" basis have been topic banned from longevity articles. There is the very possibility that more such editors will be following them in the near (more or less) future. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 05:30, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

A difference between a centenarian and a supercentenarian.

A centenarian is a person who lives to or beyond the age of 100 years, while a supercentenarian is a person who has lived to or passed their 110th birthday. Frederica Sagor Maas lived to 111 years old, so that makes her a supercentenarian. Or am I wrong again, DerbyCountyinNZ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Petrandreev13 (talk • contribs) 16:59, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Nomination of List of surviving veterans of the Spanish Civil War for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of surviving veterans of the Spanish Civil War is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of surviving veterans of the Spanish Civil War until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

You have edited the article since 2008, so I imagine you would like to know about this development. Newshunter12 (talk) 01:28, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

Yes, I noticed the Afd. It was created when List of surviving veterans of World War I was coming to a conclusion, essentially the fans of that sort of thing looking for something else to do. I always thought it was too soon, although it is now almost at the stage where it might actually be worthwhile! I'm not too fussed about whether it stays or goes, List of notable surviving veterans of World War II is a far, far worse excuse for an article. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 01:42, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the insight. Based on what I found, there are still at least hundreds of veterans left, which the article doesn't reflect at all and it is horribly maintained (one man's most recent source proving life is over 10 years old!). As far as I can tell, the reliable sources just don't exist for this article to properly exist. These vets are living their lives in peace it seems, not looking for media coverage or to please fans I bet they don't know they even have nor would care about. If it's not too much trouble, your input on the AFD would be much appreciated - I would like it to not get stalled like the Polish one due to lack of input. Failed articles the fans have moved on from don't seem to attract much interest. Newshunter12 (talk) 02:51, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi DerbyCountyinNZ! I would like to reply to your recent message on my talk page. Shall I do it here, or will you see it if I reply on my own talk page? Thanks Youtryandyoutry (talk) 22:16, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

If you're going to justify your inclusion of the reference to murno gladst then it would be best to do this on Talk:Stonehenge so that other readers can contribute to the discussion. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 22:21, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi DerbyCountyinNZ I will gladly do this, but I would like to respond directly to your message. Essentially, I understand the confusion I briefly caused, and I'd like to explain. I was trying to move a reference from where I had placed it (at the end of the sentence) to exactly where someone had posted a "citation needed" tag (in the middle of the sentence). Unfortunately I copied the wrong ref tag (a footer and not a header tag was moved to the start of the reference) and I didn't preview the changes which I am normally careful to do. It was a bit of a disaster, and I was horrified that I had caused an unsightly error message to appear on the Stonehenge page for a few minutes. I rushed to fix it and only made matters worse until I ended up undoing my two edits and then finally doing what I had intended to do: place the correct reference exactly where someone had requested it. It was this change which has just been reverted due to the chaos I created. A murno gladst fence is an old term for a kind of embankment, but it is also the unique name for this kind of embankment and it appears in numerous publications about henges etc from the 1600s onwards. I've got a special interest in the subject as I do many other obscure subjects. My first edits on wikipedia years ago were also about this subject and I did it incorrectly which resulted in my entry being removed and the message you saw on my talk page. I wanted to clear this up with you personally because I felt I was being perceived to be doing something that I was not. Youtryandyoutry (talk) 22:29, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Hello DerbyCountyinNZ, you have recently given me a warning for a few of the gerontology pages due to the fact that I removed an unvalidated supercentenarian and claimed that I believed GRG was the ultimate source.

Hi. Is this a valid reference link for Caren Marsh Doll's centenary (100th birthday)? (https://www.facebook.com/pg/Caren-Marsh-Doll-259399637720/posts/) Thanks. Rms125a@hotmail.com 05:26, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Facebook is not considered a reliable source. She was obviously still alive at 100 so there should be a reliable source out there somewhere. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 05:40, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, you'd think so. But .... Anyway, how about this one? Rms125a@hotmail.com 06:20, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

No good. Just a fansite that acknowledges her birthday, no indication that she's actually still alive. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 08:05, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

In regard to your level 3 template on my talk page

Dear User:DerbyCountyinNZ, Thanks for the level 3 template, I'm guessing you have a problem with one of my two edits on Papakura : either (diff 1) or (diff 2) . So I'm also guessing you know something that I do not and either [hehe] or HIGH SCHOOLS is in fact a real secondary education institution and I should have engaged in some talk page debate before removing them. I will reflect on this. - Scio c (talk) 15:11, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Attempt to develop consensus

Please see here if you are interested in helping to develop consensus regarding Jeanne Calment's age. Rockstonetalk to me! 18:22, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

• When the article unlocks I am going to edit the List of Verified Oldest People page to User:Rockstone35/draft:list_of_the_verified_oldest_people. I haven't seen any sign of consensus developing other than that you and I both agree that a footnote is the least disruptive compromise. I have made great strides to get other people to communicate on the talk page, but so far only User:Oska has (in addition to use). Oska has claimed that the article already reflected consensus, but I don't see any evidence of such a discussion and he has been unwilling to communicate to me. Georgia guy even less so. I don't want to start another edit war, but if the editing remains tenacious, where should we go? Rockstonetalk to me! 17:21, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

YOU’RE GETTING OUT OF LINE

Do you even know what the issue was on the edit that you decided to arbitrarily revert that was in contention and in disagreement with by two editors? Who do you think you are to make decisions without taking them to the talk page when consensus appears to be challenged? Why do you feel it is OK to continually harass a long-standing contributor such as myself with taunts like “wiki fan-club.” I am keeping a file on you and will eventually take action.

Māori people

The "warrior culture" part is very misleading. This was probably put here because of someone misapprehending the Haka as a "warrior" dance, when in fact it is merely a welcoming dance. "Having "warrior" on here sounds like a generalisation or perhaps a harmful stereotype. And think about it. If it's on here, then why on the English people page doesn't it say that they are warriors, and have a habit of oppressing people of colour and taking away their land sovereignty?--Leavepuckgackle1998 (talk) 06:54, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

What a load of agenda-pushing PC bollocks! This shouldn't even be discussed on my talk page. The appropriate place is the talk page of the article. If you are incapable of WP:NPOV you should rethink your contributions to Wikipedia. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 10:08, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Cecilia Seghizzi. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Ad Orientem (talk) 04:19, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

Edit warring

Your recent editing history at Cecilia Seghizzi shows that you are currently 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. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. 103.120.66.68 (talk) 10:20, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

List of centenarians

Hello,

I just want to let you know, that I reverted your edit on the page of List of centenarians (military commanders and soldiers). Brigadier general Ronald R. Van Stockum is certainly a centenarian and it could be easily verify with reading of an article with references. Maybe instead of reverting my edit, you could add the reference from the article of him. Please be more constructive for next time.

Best regards AntonyZ (talk) 23:54, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

I fixed your edit with the actual date of the article and the correct accessdate. And in fact I did check the article (briefly) to see if there was something obvious which mentioned that he had celebrated his 100th birthday, and didn't spot anyhthing. I don't have time to waste chasing up people who can't add appropriate citations to articles. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 02:22, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

I think I made it clear. Please make doublecheck first, before you make some changes and ill-considered decisisions. If you take a look on the reference, which I had add ("The Early years of a Centenarian: Recalling the past 100 years or so".), you will find out, that this is an interview with Brigadier general Ronald R. Van Stockum, who was 103 year old then and IT IS a relevant source. If you want to serve as Page reviewer, you should act more helpful for other Wikipedians.

Thank you for your effort AntonyZ (talk) 08:39, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

Like I said, I only had a quick look, as I do for any such edits to those particular pages and if I see an obvious citation I add it myself. Otherwise it is not an ill-considered decision to simply revert. If people can't add a citation, when it is clear that one is warranted, then I prefer to encourage them to fix their own failure. Next time why don't YOU make sure YOU add the appropriate citation. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 04:11, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

You say that is not reliable source about her death. Maybe there will not be any other source and I am 100% sure it is her. So according to you she will be omitted from centenarian actors.

This site looks like a self-published source to me. You could try WP:RSN and see if it passes, but I would be surprised if it did. IMDB is definitely not a WP:RS and can't be used as the sole source for DoB/DoD. There are plenty of reliable sources from before she was 100 so maybe there will be at least 1 obituary soon that confirms she made it.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Amin marin

A tag has been placed on Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Amin marin requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

List of the verified oldest people.

Dear Derby, please could you look at the latest discussion on the talk page. Your insight and advice would be greatly appreciated. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_the_verified_oldest_people#Men's_list. Regards, Matt MattSucci (talk) 04:04, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Wording on Oldest people

You don't think "purportedly" is more clear than "claimed to have"? I feel like the text "Calment's daughter Yvonne, born in 1898 and claimed to have died in 1934" implies that Yvonne claimed to have died in 1934. That is to say, if you ask Yvonne, she'll tell you that she died in 1934. Now, if the claim that Yvonne did in fact replace Jeanne is accurate, then you can ask Yvonne (under the guise of being Jeanne) (pretending for the moment that she's still alive so I can use present tense verbs) and Yvonne would technically claim that Yvonne died in 1934, but the reader shouldn't have to play mental games in order to understand a sentence. That is why I changed the wording from "claimed to have" to "purportedly" because the latter is still a claim, but by anyone (a first-party or third-party), in order to clear up the strange wording of Yvonne claiming that Yvonne died. Useight (talk) 01:11, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Your version was no improvement on an already poorly written sentence. Leaving aside the unencyclopedic WP:WEASEL WORDs "However" and "nevertheless", the dated and awfully constructed "which still is not resolved almost a year later" and the undue weight on the sentence in the first place, the correct English should have been "...which hypothesized that Calment's daughter Yvonne, born in 1898 and who is reported to have died in 1934, usurped Jeanne's identity upon her mother's death...". It is probably time to revisit the discussion and clarify whether it is time the whole sentence was removed. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 01:30, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

I'm also good with "who is reported to have died". I'll go ahead and change it to that. As for whether or not the whole sentence should be rewritten or even removed entirely, that's a whole different question. Fortunately, we don't have to limit ourselves to deciding only between the status quo and the perfect end scenario. For what it's worth, I'd also be good with taking the entire thing out per WP:UNDUE. Useight (talk) 06:54, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

First of all, thanks for supporting me at Talk:List of centenarians (actors, filmmakers, and entertainers)#Title_change, but could you therefore ask at Wikipedia:Requested moves to get the correct title back (since only registered users can do this!), or can I just move its content to that one and ask a mod(erator) to get it removed (I don't suppose I can though)?

Free Pass ?

I see you used to follow strict WP:RY on time line articles such as 2014 as with this edit [9]. It has strictly been followed for articles 2000-2016 but you guys seem to have turned a blind eye to articles such as 2018, 2019 and 2020 filled with WP:RY and Wp:recentism violation and including in them domestic events, elections, minor disasters which even have 0 deaths (even the Indian floods with 1000 + deaths wasnt added but now a days floods with even 10 deaths are added), sports that are not notable enough per wp:ryetc that would not be allowed in older articles like say 2005. Heck 2005 does not have a single thing listed in June. Nothing about the Iraq and Afghan war, bird flu epidemic and major disasters that happened then (except the Kashmir disaster the only one included). No one follows the three continent news coverage rule in the post 2016 articles. You editors used to butcher additions to articles in 2000-2016 in the name of WP:RY, but now turned lazy and have given up and 2018, 2019, 2020 are over flooded with WP:RY violation. This just gives an extremely false impression that the years 2000-2016 are less ventful and less signficant to years since 2018, and just shows why wikipedia is still considered unreliable by majority people over the world... Dilbaggg (talk) 05:15, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

Yup they don't. Well you weren't the only editor following wp:ry. But all those who did have stopped. Arthur Rubin is the only one |I see and he doesn't care anymore, he lets others add whatever they want. Its all fine if only all the information that were removed from 2000-2016 when wp:ry was strictly enforced was added back and nothing would be removed under the current flexible conditions, but yeah no one will have the the time for that.

I restored some content you deleted over 10 years ago. I'm not sure why you deleted it. The incident belongs here. There is more to this, though I am not qualified to write it.

1. Having reviewed the articles for both entries, it is clear that their age is uncertain, the edit history shows that reaching 100 has been attributed multiple times in different years. The logical conclusion is that their actual age is uncertain, therefore I removed them, with an explanation.
2. You then started a discussion on my talk page (which is inappropriate, this discussion should have been on the talk page of the article in question so that other editors could be made aware of it and contribute).

for that to occur, you should have started to discuss in the article page instead of my talk page.

1. You reverted my removal adding back Madhav Prasad Ghimire using exactly the same reference as previously with the comment "reverting with reference". This does not address my comment that their age is uncertain. I note that you did not re-add Satya Mohan Joshi, presumably because he claimed to have been born in 1920 but other sources say 1919.

Absolutely wrong. In either case it makes them +100. I was not interested in Satya Mohan Joshi because he is still alive.

1. As you did not address my comment in the edit summary I reverted again and issued you an edit warring notice as a precaution in case you continued to edit without address the issues I raised. I noted in my that his article as it stands at present is clearly contradictory. This is illustrated by the fact that "his hundredth birthday was celebrated all over Nepal with various programs on 23 September 2018" while the next paragraph says "He died on 18 August 2020 at the age of 100".

Yes. Because you did not provide detailed reasons to do so.

1. You added the comment to my notice of edit warring "reverting the edit with references it not the policy of the wiki". You clearly do not understand how Wikipedia works. Just because youreference a change does not automatically mean it is allowed to stand without discussion. I have given perfectly adequate reasons why your addition was removed. Per WP:BRD any edit which is contentious should be discussed and consensus reached before the edit is allowed to stand.

this is a symptom of WP:OWN

1. You then added the notice above. Given my patience with your editing so far that notice is bordering on farcical

If you wish to continue the discussion of whether either of these 2 poets are added to a list of centenarians article, the appropriate place is Talk:List_of_centenarians_(authors,_editors,_poets_and_journalists). I strongly recommend that before you re-add them again, you establish consensus on that talk page that they should be added. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 05:35, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Anyway. Closing the discussion. nirmal (talk)

Irrelevant?

Why are you removing edits without providing a good enough reason? How is it irrelevant to indicate the political affiliation of the mayor of a city? This is common practice in many other Wikipedia articles about cities. Please explain how it is irrelevant. --Spaastm (talk) 13:03, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

("Inappropriate" would have been better) Having since checked other cities the party affiliation is not normally added after the name. This is because it should be placed on a separate line, though it looks like this has not been used for most NZ cities.

leader_party optional Political party of the place's leader

DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 17:57, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

In New Zealand local politics, the main political parties rarely stand candidates. There are local body tickets, such as Communities and Residents (probably better known under their earlier name of Citizens and Ratepayers) or City Vision, and these sometimes have alignments to political parties but are not bound to those parties policies. Most local body tickets are not sufficiently enduring or notable to have Wikipedia articles. I think most mayors stand as independent of the local body tickets. -gadfium 23:14, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

This supports my opinion that if not entirely irrelevant then it is certainly inappropriate to include the party name after the mayor's name, and in most cases not at all. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 11:45, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Kane Tanaka.

Dear Derby, do you think her page needs protection? Multiple editors are trying to turn it into something it shouldn't be and I'm concerned about constantly reverting, due to "edit warring". Regards, MattSucci (talk) 03:35, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

The only grounds for semi-protection would be repeated BLP violations (adding content with adequate citations) or repeated distruptive editing by IPs and/or SPAs. Now that there is a citation for her being the third oldest most of the recent problems should slow down. It's still badly written though. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 04:50, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Agreed. Let's see how things progress. Regards, MattSucci (talk) 05:09, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Corbin Strong

Hello, I would just like to clarify why you said Strong winning Stage 2 of the Tour of Southland is not a major result. Thanks Paulpat99 (talk) 05:10, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Tour of Southland is not a major event, winning a stage even less so. As an international rider and world champion winning a stage in a local event is comparatively trivial. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 07:27, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Ah that makes sense thank you for clarifying. Paulpat99 (talk) 08:55, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Kane Tanaka.

Her biography is being butchered by longevity fan-boys once again. I am tired of reverting so many useless and unencyclopedic edits, as I am sure you are also. Any suggestions? MattSucci (talk) 14:48, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

There are multiple policies which can be used to prevent this including WP:BLP and properly applied WP:CONSENSUS. Editors who continue to violate these policies can be taken to Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Longevity. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 19:01, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

I tried my best to trim and improve her page, but have been quickly reverted. So, your expert opinion is required on her talk page again. Regards, MattSucci (talk) 18:51, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Her page is full of unnecessary facts that have absolutely nothing to do with her longevity. I'm not sure how interested you are, but if a few of us could make our views clear on her talkpage again, we could remove all of that 'trash'. MattSucci (talk) 13:14, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry tagging

Hi DerbyCountyinNZ, did you create a sockpuppet investigation about Epicgueyetoofhioof somewhere? Please don't tag users without an investigation; this has no helpful effect at all. If you have sockpuppetry concerns, please voice them at SPI. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:25, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Here's a quick link to start a new section for William the enderman6713: [10] I would start one myself, as I had a sneaking suspicion about this user as well, but I don't really have any "smoking gun" diff evidence other than the timing. Ionmars10 (talk) 20:44, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

I thought I was following procedure. I used the template for a suspected sock and was then prompted with a box to create the category. If I'm not supposed to create the category why did I get the prompt? If someone else is supposed to create it, or there is some other procedure to go through the popup box should say so. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 21:42, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

What tool are you using for this? I don't see any problem with you creating the category, but I presume that it's only meant to be used in conjunction with an already-open SPI. Ionmars10 (talk) 22:28, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

The procedure is "Only blocked accounts should be tagged as Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets and only upon sufficient evidence that would stand up to scrutiny." Please use WP:SPI instead of tagging non-blocked accounts. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:36, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Ah, thanks for clarifying. Ionmars10 (talk) 22:46, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

No worries – reading through this, another clarification: By "tagging", I mean "adding the template". Adding the template is already not the right step to take. Without incorrectly adding the template, no prompt for creating a category is made. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:48, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

(edit conflict)I see! In that case [[Template:Sockpuppet]] should have a note at the top that the template should only be used for sockpuppets already under investigation and that if not already under investigation [[SPI]] should be used. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 22:49, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the helpful suggestion; I also figured that was probably the source of the confusion and have now/already removed that example from the documentation. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:20, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Cheers! DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 23:35, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Succession to the British throne, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems.

Reverting red links

Please don't. The red link lets us create lists of the articles we need to work on. That film festival is one. Women in Red has an editathon coming up in August and the article will be created then or before then since we will be working on indigenous women. -Yupik (talk) 18:15, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

It would have helped if you had mentioned that the article was going to be created rather just linking it without explanation. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 04:50, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Yep, same here. — Guarapiranga ☎ 10:33, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

Dear Derby, I see that you added the notability tag to this article at the end of May, but when do you think it would be acceptable to nominate it for deletion? Regards, MattSucci (talk) 06:55, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Immediately! DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 07:12, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Done! MattSucci (talk) 07:37, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
