Proposed deletion of List of alternative names for Metatron

The article List of alternative names for Metatron has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

List contains abundant unsourced information, links to deleted articles, "misspellings," and generally unencyclopedic content. It may reflect original research. Its notability is debatable. Efforts at improvement have not turned up reliable sources.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. ℜob C. alias ÀLAROB 04:52, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

I didn't create the article but thank you for telling me anyway. McLerristarr | Mclay1 04:30, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Makhai

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Makhai requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Revolution1221 (talk) 15:33, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Assuming significant interest, I'm organising an event for August 22 at the SLQ Café in South Brisbane, and we'd love for you to come along. A list of people interested in coming, and a discussion space has been created at Wikipedia:Meetup/Brisbane/8. Hope to see you there! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 10:39, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Potential admin

Hi, I notice you're on Wikipedia:List of administrator hopefuls. Wikipedia would benefit from more admins. If you have been editing for more than 12 months (preferably 24+ months), and have been editing fairly consistently for the past 6 months (preferably 12+ months) with at least 100 edits a month (this tool will help) - or an explanation for any gaps, and haven't been blocked or topic banned in the past three years - or a good explanation for a recent block or ban, don't have a recent history of edit warring or arguing with other editors, feel you can explain why you wish to be an admin, can demonstrate some understanding of Wikipedia's procedures and processes, or know where to go for guidance, and are confident enough to go through a RfA, please get in touch with me. We can talk about it some more, and if all looks OK, I'll nominate you. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 12:19, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for this. A couple of years ago, I was editing very frequently, and that's when I would have put myself on that list. Since then, just because of life in general, I am much less active. I would still love to be an admin, but I haven't had 100 edits a month for a while, and I can't promise that I will any time soon. Apart from that, I do feel that I have a good understanding of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, including the Manual of Style (of which I initiated the move to the current subpage structure). If you feel it's still possible for me to be an admin now or in the future, I'd love to continue this conversation. Cheers, McLerristarr | Mclay1 12:40, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for getting back to me. After looking at your contributions I agree with your own assessment. You would need between six and twelve months of consistently higher contribution levels to have a reasonable chance of the community accepting you as an admin. If you do that, and still feel that you would like to help out further by becoming an admin, please get in touch again, and we can have a chat then about what would need to be done. Assisting in admin related areas, such as AfD, AN, CSD, etc, plus getting involved in GA - doing reviews, and perhaps getting an article to GA level, would also help.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Redirect categorization

Hi Matt! You've been interested in redirect categorization and the This is a redirect template in the past, so I wanted to let you know that there is a discussion at Template talk:This is a redirect#One parameter that might interest you.  Good faith! Paine  20:28, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Special characters and sort keys

On the wiktionaries, sort keys always delete special characters or replace them with blanks. This basic principle of bibliotechnics (systematically used in all paper dictionaries) does not seem to be covered in the Wikipedia conventions (or at the very least I can't find it). Urhixidur (talk) 17:05, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

From WP:SORTKEY: "Because the software uses an imperfect computer sorting rather than true alphabetical ordering (see details), it is important that some sort keys be adjusted. Accented characters must be replaced by their English-language counterparts. For example, the Łódź article uses {{DEFAULTSORT:Lodz}}."

It also says: "Only hyphens, apostrophes and periods/full stops punctuation marks should be kept in sort values. All other punctuation marks should be removed. The only exception is the apostrophe should be removed for names beginning with O'. For example, Eugene O'Neill is sorted {{DEFAULTSORT:ONeill, Eugene}}." It's not clear whether en-dashes and em-dashes should be kept. If not, they should probably be replaced by hyphens. I've been using AWB to go through the redirects, and it's not easy to tell in the program whether the mark is a dash or hyphen.

Wikipedia used to sort upper- and lower-case letters differently, but that was changed a while ago. I think it's still good practice to use capitals where appropriate for readability. I've also been putting commas in when words have been re-arranged (as is the standard practice in English), because it can make a difference to the sort order. If everything is standardised, there won't be any inconsistency. McLerristarr | Mclay1 17:14, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing me to WP:SORTKEY.

"It's not clear whether en-dashes and em-dashes should be kept" : definitely replace them with hyphens in the sort keys. Variants that differ by the lengths of their dashes should sort together, and the numerical values of the characters are too different to guarantee this unless the sort key substitution is done. Urhixidur (talk) 17:07, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Redirection sort keys

I'm a little puzzled by your series of reversions to the sort keys of Category:Country data redirects (for instance, this one). Although there is some merit to sorting these redirects by their raw character sequences, the category is far from being consistently sorted this way as yet, with for instance Template:Country data Duchy of Brunswick sorted under B for Brunswick. Care to comment? Urhixidur (talk) 19:55, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

I noticed that the category wasn't consistent. Unless there is a consensus I didn't realise about, I didn't see the need for your changes, so I reverted them. In my opinion, it makes way more sense to sort by the actual name of the redirect (minus the "Country data" bit), rather than in a reversed order, as you did it, or by the name of the template that the redirect points to it, like others do. I suppose we should take the opportunity to discuss it somewhere and gain a consensus. McLerristarr | Mclay1 21:00, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

My intent was to regroup entries that are obviously about the same thing under the same key. Thus Yugoslavia and Republic of Yugoslavia should be together, and so on. I stress "obviously" because an entry like ZA (which points to South Africa) should remain under Z because its meaning is not immediately apparent. This type of sort key tuning is very useful (to the reader) in categories that are lists of countries and such like; the particular category of concern here (Country data redirects) is more of a maintenance category, and therefore could be sorted either way. The important thing is to sort the entire category consistently, which is currently not the case. My preference is for the analogical sort I've already outlined. What do you think? Urhixidur (talk) 21:07, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

I definitely agree on the "ZA" point. Your point about "Yugoslavia" makes sense, and I'm unsure which way is better. We have to think about what the reader would expect. In this case, because it's a maintenance category, and quite an obscure one, the reader will almost always be a (probably experienced) Wikipedia editor. Because there are cases like ZA or even a one-word name that points to something completely different, I'd be expecting to find them under their actual names. Another user changed some of the redirects I created so that the sort key was the same as the target (like ZA being sorted under "South Africa"). To me, that's confusing, and it's not clear from looking at the list of pages in the category where a particular page is pointed. It makes sense to just use the name of the page as the sort key, unless there's a reason to do otherwise. If we were to do it your way, I think we'd need a note at the top of the category telling readers that that's how they were sorted. It would also need to be properly standardised, like "Yugoslavia, Republic of", formatting it consistently for every country with a prefix, even for cases where the actual article about the country has the prefix in the title. McLerristarr | Mclay1 21:55, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Note added to the category page. I do believe the analogical sort will be more useful to maintainers, because it allows one to find, at a glance, all the redirects that point to the same thing. There are a few redirects where it is less clear which sort key is preferable: for instance, I think "British India" is distinct enough to merit being filed under B rather than I (it is more "British" than "Indian"). What's funny is that this is yet another instance where a certain feature I've requested long ago from the Wiki developers would be helpful: the ability to file a page under multiple sort keys. Urhixidur (talk) 13:45, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

Wouldn't it make more sense to keep Template:Country data United Mexican States sorted alongside the other Mexico entries? Urhixidur (talk) 16:48, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

As a name by itself, I figure it's like the United Arab Emirates. But I guess sorting it as "Mexican States, United" works too. McLerristarr | Mclay1 17:25, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

If it were alone, I would indeed sort it under U, but since it is just an alternate form of the long form of Mexico… Urhixidur (talk) 19:03, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, I suppose you're right. McLerristarr | Mclay1 19:08, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

 Done. Please take note of the templated message below. Regards — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:07, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Your account has been granted the "templateeditor" user permission, allowing you to edit templates and modules that have been protected with template protection. It also allows you to bypass the title blacklist, giving you the ability to create and edit editnotices. Before you use this user right, please read Wikipedia:Template editor and make sure you understand its contents. In particular, you should read the section on wise template editing and the criteria for revocation.

You can use this user right to perform maintenance, answer edit requests, and make any other simple and generally uncontroversial edits to templates, modules, and edinotices. You can also use it to enact more complex or controversial edits, after those edits are first made to a test sandbox, and their technical reliability as well as their consensus among other informed editors has been established. If you are willing to process edit requests on templates and modules, keep in mind that you are taking responsibility to ensure the edits have consensus and are technically sound.

This user right gives you access to some of Wikipedia's most important templates and modules; it is critical that you edit them wisely and that you only make edits that are backed up by consensus. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password.

If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

Floruit

Through mostly legitimate methods I've managed to deal with the issues you raised at WT:WPT regarding {{b.}}, {{commons file inline}}, and {{see section}}. The last one on your list is {{floruit}}. I've set up some tracking categories, and it appears that none of the new stuff is actually used (only the params that were originally included). Based on the ridiculous discussion at the {{b.}} talk page, even if we both comment that these parameters are rather useless and should be removed, I don't think they'll listen. What do you think is the best course of action? I'm not sure garnering assistance from WPT would help (since it's not terribly active), and I can't really think of any policy-based reasons to "keep it simple" so to speak. It basically comes down to us (it's overly complicated with unnecessary bells and whistles) vs them (it's not overly complicated etc). Basically, IDONTLIKEIT vs ILIKEIT. Let me know what you think. Primefac (talk) 02:32, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

@Primefac: I know what you mean. I'm not sure what else can be done but fight it until he eventually gives in (but not so much as to be called an edit war). It's difficult to get any further opinions because, as you said, there is generally low activity on and care for this template and related pages as it's so minor. There must be a process for this kind of thing, but I don't know what it is. M.Clay1 (talk) 08:45, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Upcoming changes to wikitext parsing

Hello,

There will be some changes to the way wikitext is parsed during the next few weeks. It will affect all namespaces. You can see a list of pages that may display incorrectly at Special:LintErrors. Since most of the easy problems have already been solved at the English Wikipedia, I am specifically contacting tech-savvy editors such as yourself with this one-time message, in the hope that you will be able to investigate the remaining high-priority pages during the next month.

There are approximately 10,000 articles (and many more non-article pages) with high-priority errors. The most important ones are the articles with misnested tags and table problems. Some of these involve templates, such as infoboxes, or the way the template is used in the article. In some cases, the "error" is a minor, unimportant difference in the visual appearance. In other cases, the results are undesirable. You can see a before-and-after comparison of any article by adding ?action=parsermigration-edit to the end of a link, like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Foss?action=parsermigration-edit (which shows a difference in how {{infobox ship}} is parsed).

If you are interested in helping with this project, please see Wikipedia:Linter. There are also some basic instructions (and links to even more information) at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2018-April/001836.html You can also leave a note at WT:Linter if you have questions.

Talk:Storage pit (archaeology)

Hello,

I understand why you moved the article, but I thought I would explain why it is named that way. It is one of the articles about prehistoric life that is in the {{Prehistoric technology}}. By making it a generic "storage pit" article title, it means that the focus of this article could change... and no longer specific to prehistoric pits of specific uses.

We could made storage pit a disambig page to storage and other related articles... and return storage pit (archaeology) to keep that it's own specific topic. How would that work?–CaroleHenson (talk) 15:06, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

I went ahead and moved it to Prehistoric storage pits. That seems to make the most sense and is the easiest solution.–CaroleHenson (talk) 18:02, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

That's probably the best solution. It's not a good idea to disambiguate pages where no other pages of the same title or even similar titles exist. M.Clay1 (talk) 04:56, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

ArbCom

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in discussions about infoboxes and to edits adding, deleting, collapsing, or removing verifiable information from infoboxes. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

My Bonnie Tony Sheridan

Hello, I had removed the sentence «Because of the later fame of the Beatles, the material has been repackaged several times» from the introduction because I felt it did not belong here. On Sheridan's My Bonnie album, apart for the title track and The Saints, none were repackaged. The material you speak of are the 8 tunes recorded by the Beatles with or without Sheridan in Hamburg in 61 & 62. You say «the exact material involving the Beatles is unknown», but most experts (ie Mark Lewishon and Hans Olof Gottfridsson) seem to agree that only 9 songs were recorded and one was lost (Swanee River). Thus, I have rewritten part of the intro to make it closer to what I believe is right. Regards. JeanPaulGRingault (talk) 16:20, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

@JeanPaulGRingault: Yes but it is still true that the non-Beatles Beat Brothers tracks have been repackaged because of the Beatles. The Beatles recordings that were not included on the album were recorded in the sessions for the album, so are still covered by the article content. M.Clay1 (talk) 23:50, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

@Mclay1:The repackaging of the BBros tracks are not from the My Bonnie album (exept for Ready Teddy for the 1984 CD) but from a single (Ruby Baby / What'd I Say - 1963) and an E.P. (Ya Ya). Ruby Baby seems to have been previously unreleased. The Beatles tracks and the album tracks were from two different sessions 6 months apart. For that reason, I do not agree with your assessment that «The Beatles recordings that were not included on the album were recorded in the sessions for the album ». But I believe my new edit adresses your objections while taking in account mine. Thanks for caring! JeanPaulGRingault (talk) 00:18, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Frank Sinatra

Please stop at Talk:Frank Sinatra. Normally you would be free to battle on and insist on your point of view. However, the topic of infoboxes is under discretionary sanctions as noted at #ArbCom above. That means it's best to let it go. Your question was sure to be in good faith and so on but it is rather out of place in the survey section of a highly contested RfC. Johnuniq (talk) 09:33, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

The one who needs to stop is SchroCat. M.Clay1 (talk) 09:52, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for changing the collapse heading, that's a good idea. You are correct about the other editor but multiple comments in the survey section is not desirable. After all, the matter has been fought out at Arbitration and people should live with the fact that views are hot on both sides. Johnuniq (talk) 10:13, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

(only that the RfC is not about the infobox, only if it should be collapsed or open, no more. Some don't even understand the RfC question, it seems. I was called a monster five years ago, same article, same question. I tried to take it with humour. It's tiring, though. So much ado about so little.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:42, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

He has made the same number of comments as me and is abusing other editors. That's exactly the behaviour that led to the sanctions. Why is no action being taken? I don't understand the point of the sanctions when the main offenders this time are the same ones as last time. M.Clay1 (talk) 00:17, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

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.

Anglo-Saxon pound

FYI, I have wp:nuked the article Anglo-Saxon pound because it was an irredeemable mess of OR and post-Conquest material copied blindly from other articles. It was easy to see what should not have been in the article but difficult to add what should. I have left a note at Anglo-Saxons asking if anyone there has the expertise to make into something useful or (perhaps more sensibly) merge it into the Anglo-Saxons article. Yours was a good call, I'm annoyed that I didn't see the wood for the trees before. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 14:04, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
