Hey Drummerdg-- I've finalized the date and location for the Wikipedia Loves Libraries event for October 26th at the Pritzker. If you can set aside time to come join us for any part of the day, it'd be great if you could change your RSVP to "Planning on being there."

Coordinating Pritzker event for the Great American Wikinic[edit]

Hey Drummerdg. The Pritzker is interested in holding an event for the Great American Wikinic this month. In the past, I've usually coordinated these events, but I don't have as much time to devote toward my volunteering activities these days. TeriEmbrey (talk · contribs) wanted to know if you might be interested in coordinating the event, which (tentatively) is planned for July 24th. If you're interested, please let us know. I can certainly help you get things set up. Thanks, I, JethroBT drop me a line 22:27, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Jethro. Sorry, I did see @TeriEmbrey:'s post, I just didn't have time to respond. I might be able to help, although admittedly I'm not entirely up on proper Wiki formatting (your event pages always look nice). Maybe if I got together with, say @Jdanbeck:, we might be able to do it together. Also, I think it would be nice if there were an outdoors component to it, maybe in Lincoln Park as in previous years.Drummerdg (talk) 05:56, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Drummerdg: @Jdanbeck: @FilterKaapi71: @Julianaknot: @Jwolf2: @RayLimbach: @Omallepj: We have a new round of Wikipedians in Residence/Library interns at PMML. Jdanbeck finished his term, but we'd welcome him back for an event if he wanted to join us. I've included the new Wikipedians in this reply as they may be able to help. Let me know what is decided and if I need to continue to save space for you at PMML. TeriEmbrey (talk) 13:55, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

December 2018[edit]

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unreliably sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at All About That Bass. You’re also asked to refrain from edit warring on the article, your restoration of the same unreliably sourced content being spread out in two different months still doesn’t make it okay. NØ 06:51, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You really have a God complex don't you? Chances are, if you continue your disruptive reverts, you'll be the one blocked. Your foolish actions and obsessive behavior (50+ edits a day on a single topic - that's honestly bordering on compulsive) are plain for all to see. My edit was not only properly sourced, it was much more notable than lots of other material on that page. You refuse to admit that you think you own the page, but guess what - you don't. The community does. To anyone reading: see talk page for more. Drummerdg (talk) 03:51, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Stop edit warring and adding unreliably sourced content to the article All About That Bass. Similarly, stop making snarky remarks against a specific editor just because you're being reverted for adding unreliably sourced content. Just because you're not using curse words doesn't mean this doesn't constitute a WP:PA violation. "Your foolish actions and obsessive behavior (50+ edits a day on a single topic - that's honestly bordering on compulsive) are plain for all to see" is a clear personal attack. Now stop attacking veteran editors who have been editing the article in question for years and go look for a reputed source unlike Israellycool and a YouTube video.--NØ 05:15, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That's the pot calling the kettle black if I ever heard it. I made a good-faith, notable edit, you maliciously reverted it and have now begun threatening me. I could not care less how "veteran" you think you are, and your behavior is obsessive; there is absolutely no reason to edit that many times a day. And for the umpteenth time, the YouTube video is not a source for anything other than the existence and source of parody. You are being intentionally obtuse, and anybody reading this can clearly see that. Drummerdg (talk) 05:35, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oh yeah, and nice try at Wikilawyering... Drummerdg (talk) 05:36, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

red-outlined triangle containing exclamation point Warning Do not persistently add unreliably sourced material to articles. When an edit is challenged by reversion the next stop should be the talk page to seek consensus. See WP:BRD. Do not attack other editors. See WP:NPA and WP:AGF. This should be understood as a formal warning. -Ad Orientem (talk) 14:34, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

MaranoFan reverted my edit, which was sourced with YouTube (as are countless other pieces of information on Wikipedia), in contravention of the principle of non-reversion and WP:AGF; he then attacked me on both the article's talk page and my own. I suggest you have a chat with him. I have done nothing but defend myself and my edit; I have cited numerous Wikipedia policies in defense of the same. Drummerdg (talk) 16:29, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"MaranoFan reverted my edit" -- Which someone else also reverted once you went to add it back but you were okay with that because your 'problem' is with MaranoFan
"in contravention of the principle of non-reversion" -- Umm, what? The revert button exists for a reason. If you're going to add a YouTube video as a source for promoting a non-notable parody video, it will get removed.
"he then attacked me on both the article's talk page and my own" -- You're now deflecting something you did as if I did it instead. You've called my edits "foolish" and "compulsive" already while I kept my discussion strictly about the content and how adding this parody to the All About That Bass article is one of the only edits you've been repetitively making all year.

You've now been warned by Ad Orientem, who is a very experienced admin. Drop the bad faith attitude and talking about me now. I challenge you to produce any diffs of me "personally attacking" you. Your obsession with me, despite being reverted by more than one editor, and opposed by even more on the article's talk page, is making me question if you're a dupe account. Will just advice you to WP:Dropthestick rather than making false allegations of personal attacks from me which you can't back up. Have a great day and again, I'm open to adding back the parody if you focus on looking for sources rather than attacking me. Cuz even if you manage to tarnish my reputation with your little defamation campaign, its still not gonna make your addition of unreliably sourced content ok. You were constantly threatening that you will "involve an admin", well guess what, now one is involved, and they're against your unreliably sourced parody promotion too.--NØ 18:53, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The only one acting in bad faith is you. You have a clear personal attachment to the subject. You have constantly mischaracterized both my character and my motivations, and continue to do so. As I've already said, I haven't restored the content after an uninvolved editor reverted it and consensus was reached. And for the record, this is the only account I've ever had since I joined Wikipedia over a decade ago. Drummerdg (talk) 18:58, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting of quotations[edit]

You are correct that one shouldn't generally change a direct quote, but if it is necessary to do so, to make the quote understandable in the specific circumstances, it is allowable to do so, as long as you do not change the underlying meaning of the quote, and as long as one follows the conventions of altering a quote.

For instance, one can drop words or a phrase, or even a whole sentence from a quote as long as the meaning of the quote is not distorted. One does so by using ellipses, such as this:

"Four score and seven years ago, our forefathers brought upon this continent a new nation ... dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."

The words "a new nation conceived in liberty" have been deleted, and the ellipsis shows that they were dropped.

Similarly, words can be changed to make them match up grammatically by placing the changed words in square brackets, such as this:

"[Eighty seven] years ago" instead of "Four score and seven years ago".

For this reason, my initial change to the quote in you addition to the "In popular culture" section of the article listed above was acceptable, and there was no reason to revert it.

another problem however, is this. You've added a direct quote, but you have not provided a citation from a reliable source to support it. This is required. Please add the name of the document you took it from.

I'm pingin admin @El C:, because he was involved in the adjustment of the information you added. Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 08:20, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Beyond My Ken (talk) 08:20, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The information you added was redundant; all one has to do is click the Wikilink to see the specific presidential administration referenced; you just duplicated the Wikilink in text, which does not add anything (especially in the context of a quotation). With regards to your second point - my quote is directly from the cited source, which is an article dated 2002. It is plainly obvious that that was during the Bush administration (2001-2009). I'm not going to add a source proving 2002 was during the Bush administration. Drummerdg (talk) 08:25, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I just fixed a formatting error. I don't really have an opinion. I neither see the need nor the harm, basically. El_C 16:02, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Translation[edit]

Hello! Strange request here, but an article about me and my Wikipedia work has been promoted to Good article status at English Wikipedia and nominated for similar status at Spanish Wikipedia. I'm curious if you have any interest in translating the entry for Danish Wikipedia?

Figured I'd ask since your profile suggests you do translation work. Either way, happy editing! ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:41, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Jason! Sure, your article is (currently at least) short enough that it shouldn't take me too long to whip up a translation. I haven't done one in quite a while, but luckily there is good guidance on that both on the English and Danish sides. They even have their own version of the "this article has been translated from X language" tag. I suspect there aren't too many sources in Danish about you (though I'll poke around and see if I can find one), so I'll just copy over those in the English article. Drummerdg (talk) 01:15, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much! I appreciate your willingness to help and I look forward to seeing the translated entry. :) ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:32, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No problem! First draft is up in my userspace on Danish Wikipedia here. I've added all relevant Wikilinks (with the ones that don't exist in Danish being interlanguage links) and done some technical reformatting per Danish Wiki standards (annoyingly, in the Danish version of the birth year template, there is no option to suppress the age, so your age appears in both places where your birth year is mentioned; I don't see an obvious way around that). Next up will be getting the references in place (those work a bit differently on Danish Wikipedia as well), then it should be all set to publish to the main article space!
Overall I've done my best to stay as close to the original English as possible, with the exception of a few phrases that don't make sense in Danish - there I had to paraphrase a bit. I also added one or two explanations where a difference exists (for instance, good article on Danish Wikpedia is called "fremragende artikel", or "excellent article").
Take a read when you get a chance and feel free to run it thru Google Translate, with the caveat that some of it may sound odd in English, but I promise it makes sense in Danish =) Drummerdg (talk) 08:10, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, thank you! Out of curiosity, do you think da:Wikipedia:Fremragende artikler is an option? I'll definitely take a look. Again, much appreciated! :) ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:17, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea, haha. Although I'm fluent in Danish, I don't really know anything about their Wiki policies. Probably best to ask an admin over there! Drummerdg (talk) 04:07, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I would love to get your assistance with translating Tesla and unions into Danish. Please let me know if you would be interested in collaborating. Thank you. QRep2020 (talk) 10:01, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there. Sure, I'll see about helping out once I have some time! Let's catch up after the holidays. Drummerdg (talk) Drummerdg (talk) 16:00, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It occurs to me that we could probably do better than just translating the English article; there are lots of Danish sources on this, so we could just write up an original article in Danish. For instance, it looks like the Danish union 3F recently announced their support of striking Tesla metalworkers in Sweden (this per DR, the main Danish news outlet) - this would be of particular interest to readers in Denmark. See here (use Google Translate if you want the gist). Drummerdg (talk) 05:11, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
