River Crest Sanitarium (New York)

Hello Quisqualis, I see you removed George Dimitropolos (pulo) a second time from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Crest_Sanitarium_(New_York). Dimitropolos was director of landmark building in Romania called Palatul_Bragadiru and he owned a hotel called Hotel Olympia in NYC (200 East 42nd Street) around 1914 (research in process) and then ended up in River Crest. He is not your average individual. Can you tell me your reasons for having removed him from River Crest? He is listed on this wikipedia here https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palatul_Bragadiru. Sources include death certificate and Play Bill from the Romanian Theatre. Please advise.

Your reasons for removal are below: 1. We do not use Wikipedia as a source for Wikipedia. 2. not a notable individual 3. lack of citations of reliable sources so that others may access the same information independently My responses: Wikipedia is not the only source presented, there is hard documentary evidence, death certificate and playbill. The role of director and owner of a NYC hotel is notable. If we only relied on obtaining information which others may access independently then why do we have special institutions called Libraries or Wikipedia. I feel Libraries provide a valuable service and help obtain information that other people CANNOT source independently. Sorry but I am not following your reasoning. 23:15, 9 January 2019 (UTC)Josephintechnicolor (talk)

Wikipedia's standards of notability require coverage of a subject in WP:Reliable sources. Also, notability in Romania does not confer notability in the English-speaking world. Was Dimitropulo a national hero of Romania? Did he have an obituary in the New York Times? What books were written about him? Owning a hotel in New York City is something which many people have done. Some of the owners of multiple NYC hotels or national hotel chains have WP articles written about them, but maybe not Dimitropulo. Small fish, big pond. Do you see my point? It's the viewpoint of Wikipedia itself. Also note that we NEVER use WP as a source for WP, and that a theatre playbill is not a reliable secondary source, but a primary source, mainly for cast and crew information. A death certificate is a valid source on Wikipedia for verifying death, its time and its place. For en:Wikikpedia to consider Dimitropulo notable may take a lot of WP:Original research on your part. Unfortunately, OR is forbidden in WP articles.--Quisqualis (talk) 01:06, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello Quisqualis

I am sure you are quite busy but I wanted to point out that I fixed the photos on River Crest, (no water mark, they were provided by Greater Astoria Historical Society) did you notice, any comments? 01:54, 4 February 2019 (UTC)Josephintechnicolor (talk)

The results look good. You may want to note that Wikipedia has an WP: Image lab which can remove the ink stamp from the sky area of the colored postcard brochure. They do a very good job there. Apparently, the wrong face of the postcard was inked in the stamp-cancellation process back in 1920--Quisqualis (talk) 05:12, 4 February 2019 (UTC).

Thank you. I've submitted to the lab. 09:25, 8 February 2019 (UTC)Josephintechnicolor (talk)

Hello Quisqualis

I noticed you removed Kelly (Mohre) Hyman stating she is not notable on this wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doin%27_Time_on_Planet_Earth Recently I found this PDF, hoping it will give some more credibility to the actress. Do you think so?

Hello, IP editor. The material presented in Gary at Ultragenyx's post regarding Mepsevii contains a disclaimer,

"The effect of this drug on the central nervous system manifestations of MPS VII has not been determined."

Thank you for your edits. However, in the "Early life" section, you put three tags, when all that information was available in http://www.newsweek.com/2015/02/27/one-activists-search-cure-his-autism-drawing-violent-backlash-306998.html. Ylevental (talk) 13:52, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi, Ylevental. I have a good excuse: I edited that article over a 24-hour period (with sleep), and had so exhausted my brain by reading that article about 25 times in its entirety in a most granular manner, and most of the references as well. I left those tags to remind myself, or another reader (whose initials might be YL) to put in the cite. Would you please do it for me? I need to recharge my batteries with a morning of the Daily Mail now!--Quisqualis (talk) 16:31, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

There is no better source than the NSTB - AA-73-15 which is the investigative report on the accident by the National Safety Transportation Board.

Regarding your comment while undoing my edit of article Duke Cunningham

Duke Cunningham is a decorated veteran to say the least. To not write about his military history because he is mostly notable for his political and criminal background is quite injudicious. So I believe there can be a healthy debate about including his military career in the introductory paragraph.

But to undo a edit and deliberately accuse someone of violating WP:COI is highly disrespectful, more so when the language used is in line to policies of WP:NPV. I would request you to refrain from these inflammatory remarks. SoloKnowHow83 (talk) 17:55, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

About Nemenhah

I responded to you at the help desk in a manner that was intended to be even-handed, because the help desk is not for discussing articles and because that was the same advice I had given the otehr party. However, I absolutely agree with you, so here, after taking my "help desk responder" hat off, I can say that I hope you will take the time to clean that mess up. If your source are good and the scammers' sources are not, you should be able to defend your edits if try to revert and we get into arbitration or something.

Teahouse

In my opinion, you are at times too acerbic in comments at Teahouse. Often, the questions are posed by new editors, and they should not be hit with a stick, regardless of how righteous they come across. David notMD (talk) 13:18, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Mt. Olympus Edits

You are getting too acerbic with all of your comments. You told an experienced editor that "Wikipedia isn't about the truth. It's about what is stated in reliable sources. Please cite one." Yet, my edit summary explained that you cannot cite things that are no longer there. Not to mention that items in the infobox do not need to be cited when the material in the text of the article is already cited. In this particular edit, the body of the article lists five roller coasters at Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park. When I changed the infobox to agree with the text in the article you insisted there be a citation. Sorry, but your opinion is incorrect. The information is already within the body of the article. There are hundreds of infoboxes without citations for each entry.—JlACEer (talk) 17:54, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

In case you are unfamiliar:

From Help:Infobox

What should an infobox contain?

In general, data in infobox templates should be:

Already cited elsewhere in the article. Infoboxes, like the introduction to the article, should primarily contain material that is expanded on and supported by citations to reliable sources elsewhere in the article. However, if necessary (e.g., because the article is currently incomplete), it is possible to include footnotes in infoboxes.

To add information

Hello sir, I have a request. Here it goes, on Shamsheer Vayalil wikipedia there is an infobox in which there is a column named alma mater. In that column name of two medical colleges are given: 1:) Kasturba Medical College, Manipal. 2:) Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute, Chennai. When I clicked on the link of second college I found that the college is not actually located in Chennai. It is located in "Porur" a city in "Chennai".But in early life paragraph " Porur" is indicated. So I request you to add "Porur" in the format I am showing you below. "Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute, Porur, ChennaiChennai(in alma mater column). Thanks. (left by IP editor 223.230.167.170 on 15 June 2019)

You appear to have added "Citation Needed" to lots of things on the page about Phil Konstantin

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Konstantin

Please forgive me if it wasn't you that added the Citation Needed markers.

After I noticed this, I looked around and found quite a few things which were once on the internet in newspapers, stories, books and websites. Some of them have been deleted as time goes by, because most publications don't keep large backups, or old articles very long. TV stations in San Diego had a lot of this information on their Reporter Profile pages. Since I have retired, those pages were deleted. Some of this information was also posted on my personal website. It may have been deleted during my change in web hosts and site reorganizations. In any case, I found verifications for quite a few things. I posted several in February 2019 in the Talk section of the page. I posted more recently. So far, no one seems to have done anything about adding the citations. Since the page is about me, I cannot do it.

With a few very minor exceptions (which I noted on the Talk page), the profile/article/page/whatever you want to call it is accurate.

Any suggestions?

Phil Konstantin Phil Konstantin (talk) 21:43, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Therein lies the problem. A "page about you" isn't an encyclopedia article. If you wish for citations to be added to it, feel free to suggest the additions on the Talk page of your "whatever".--Quisqualis (talk) 23:38, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Yes, I have checked out the page. Who wouldn't check out an article about themselves. The page is not an autobiography. That is against Wikipedia rules. I have readers or viewers in many different places. For example New York Newsday once wrote a review about one of my websites many years ago. I had never seen that publication before. I found out about it while doing an unrelated web search. Some people have contributed to discussions on the Talk Page, whom I do not know personally. I don't know who created it originally. Since the 'encyclopedia article' is about me, I don't know what else to call it. A few years ago, I did correct one error in the article. Another editor informed me that was inappropriate, since you are not supposed to change things about matters you are part of. I removed the change. Someone else then reapplied the change a few days later. I did suggest the additions for some of the Citation Needed matters on the Talk Page after someone (it appears it was you) added 'Citation Needed' to many parts of the article. Since then, nobody has applied those suggestions. Perhaps you are not the person who added the Citation Needed markers to the article. I do know that if I had added Citation Needed to an article, I would check back later to see if any information had been provided to clarify or support something.

I mainly use Wikipedia as a source of information. Occasionally, I try to improve it. With due respect, I doubt any additions to your profile actually improve the encyclopedia.--Quisqualis (talk) 22:57, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

Fair enough. But, why add Citation Needed if it won't make any difference?

Question about page Renewable energy in Vietnam

Dear Quisqualis

Thank you for the contribution you make on page Renewable energy in Vietnam. I'm really appreciated. I have a few questions I would like to ask for better understanding your contribution:

In Hydropower section, you said that "not all readers of this article live in Vietnam"; in Solar energy section you wrote "article is for a worldwide audience, not only your boss" and "Wikipedia articles are aimed at a worldwide audience, not one country". I edit this article with the purpose of bringing new information about types of renewable energy in Vietnam to everyone so all sections like Solar energy, Hydropower,... are written for the public. The page speaks itself: update situation in Vietnam for everyone may or may not live in Vietnam can read.

I don't understand much about your comment. Could you explain to me?

Thank you and have a good weekend --F.Blaubiget (talk) 06:44, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Long story. Initially, I made an edit of one space character in order to turn my name blue. I recently realized that other editors might waste their time visiting a blank user page, and changed it back to red. I dislike summing myself up, and have minimal social media presence. An additional benefit of having a red name is that I can find my posts on discussion pages a little more easily.--Quisqualis (talk) 15:39, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Thank you and interesting to read. I never thought about that (avoiding that others visit a blank page; finding yourself more easily). Made me think... All the best and stay in touch. --F.Blaubiget (talk) 11:25, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

A Suggestion for Quisqualis

Dearest Quisqualis,

You've responded to several things I have posted on the Wikipedia Teahouse. I don't always find your thoughts or suggestions useful or helpful, but, your input does not go unnoticed, and there is some insight, often mirroring subsequent comments.

That said, you don't have a user page. When I see your comments, your name is in red. Is there a reason you have not created a user page?

At the time I'm writing this, I'm new, but I took the time to at least create a minimal user page. On the other hand, you have many sections on your talk page, and it seems you've been around for a while.

Just a thought.

Regards,

PhanChavez (talk) 06:16, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Quisqualis once had a user page, but chose to have it deleted. I've no idea why. Maproom (talk) 08:11, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

As in Theodore Geisel's Sneeches, I wanted to be blue like everybody else. Then I thought about it, and got rid of my nearly-nonexistent User page.--Quisqualis (talk) 14:38, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Is Wikipedia normally so toxic ?

Hello - following your kind welcoming message ([1]) I decided to register. However, I have been horrified with messages I have received within hours of registering, (see [2]) As you appear to be experienced here could you explain is this is normal ? Certainly, I have no interest in being involved if such aggression and toxicity is either accepted or commonplace.--SnowyMalone (talk) 19:06, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

I was posting on this talk page, SnowyMalone, and I get the impression from the Help Desk and the Teahouse that some people do have this experience. It's not what we want. We want Wikipedia to be welcoming to newcomers.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 19:41, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Adirampattinam

You reverted my edits on Adirampattinam stating "If there is sourced data regarding normal temps, don't replace it with record highs! Even if you like the source, that's inappropriate. Your interest in record highs is your personal thing, not Wikipedia's". I believe that the revert was unnecessary for a couple of reasons.

• Even if you like the source, that's inappropriate. First of all, the source I added is from the India Meteorological Department, which is an official source. Climatedata.org, according to their website uses modelled data and states "All of our climate data comes from a climate model. The model has more than 220 million data points and a resolution of 30 arc seconds. The model uses weather data from thousands of weather stations from all over the world. This weather data was collected between 1982 and 2012." Observed data is more reliable, especially if it is coming from an official source. This has been the norm in other climate tables in other countries where official sources are preferred if data is available. Secondly, you are just using a straw man argument where I use the source just because I like it, claiming that I don't like it. This has nothing to do with emotion, I am simply trying to improve climate data in Indian Cities that have long being plagued with vandalism and lack of good data compared to other cities. I can argue that you are just exhibiting the I don't like it mentality because you cannot justify why the previous version is better other than stirring up emotional responses.

• If there is sourced data regarding normal temps, don't replace it with record highs! Are you yelling at me. Clearly, that's not how you approach users who are acting in good faith trying to improve articles. In many cities around the world such as New York City, Paris, Moscow, Hong Kong, Cape Town, Mexico City, Sydney and etc, many climate tables have record highs and lows. It is standard to include this given that record temperatures are frequently discussed on the media. Should we start deleting record temperatures then because you don't like it? That would bring a lot of opposition from users. The India Meteorological Department source unfortunately does not have mean temperatures and because the temperatures differ from the climatedata.org source, we cannot use the mean temperatures from 2 different sources neither can one assume that mean temperatures is (max+min)/2 (some countries define mean temperatures differently or calculate it as a 24 hour average)

• Your interest in record highs is your personal thing, not Wikipedia's". Pointless personal attack. Since when it is Wikipedia's policy that we ought to delete record highs and lows. You are just using the Argumentum ad populum fallacy to weaken my position when the opposite holds true where most users do want to have record highs and lows (lack of deletion). Ssbbplayer (talk) 14:26, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

You are right, Ssbbplayer! Unfortunately, I made my edit while I was falling asleep and also in a hurry. I misconstrued your edit and did not look at the way it displayed in the article itself. There is nothing wrong with putting in record highs, if they appear where they are useful, which yours did. I see some strange edits on Wikipedia, sometimes to climate data, and acted in haste. Please accept my apologies.--Quisqualis (talk) 14:49, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

@Quisqualis: No worries. Apologies for my statements as well. I am glad I was able to clarify my edits and resolve this issue. Thanks. Ssbbplayer (talk) 14:55, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

T2 mycotoxin

Hello, I see you reverted a section on the T2 mycotoxin page related to chemical synthesis, and I am hoping you can explain why.

In my view, that paragraph was both undue emphasis on one paper as well as promotional namedropping. Science and medicine articles in Wikipedia are a breeding ground for such additions, which don't improve the articles they are added to. See: WP:SPAM.--Quisqualis (talk) 22:38, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Unnecessary revert

Hi, you recently reverted one of my edits in Computer science, where the content was actually moved to another article. The revert wasn't necessary if you looked at the talk page, consensus had already been reached, so I'm scratching my head on this one.

Progenitor versus descendant

Hi! Maybe you could help me think this out, since I wrote the "progenitor" part. What I was trying to say is that all the later devices are descendants of Plastibell. I mentioned Plastibell since few people have heard of Ross. Also, you refer to "devices" when referring to Ross. It should be "device," singular. Can you help me think this through? Thanks. 71.173.77.143 (talk) 10:33, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

PlantZAfrica

Hi Quisqualis,

I don't understand why you reverted my contribution. If you click on the link, I can't find "Plantzafrica-SANBI(new)" but on the top of the page SANBI and a colourful logo PlantZAfrica.com where the "Z" is spelled as uppercase letter. "Plantzafrica-SANBI(new)" is also not the URL they use but "http://pza.sanbi.org/pleiospilos-nelii". Can you explain? --Cyfal (talk) 17:43, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

It appeared to be an attempt at gratuitous humor, given the edit summary.--Quisqualis (talk) 20:40, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

It was the other way round - I was suprised by the wrongly spelled word plants and then looked curiously at the link where I found the uppercase Z and A as an explanation. I will then enter my version again in Pleiospilos nelii so that other readers will not any longer be surprised. --Cyfal (talk) 11:15, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

About your revert on my edit.

I edited episode count of an Indian tv show by depending on information of another Wikipedia page. Here is the link to my edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/962300439 I have provided the link to my edit summery. I think Wikipedia only need reliable information but doesn't need visible reference to every information it shows. So I added the source link to my edit summary and I think it's enough. Please check it and edit that episode count or tell me I'll edit it again. Thank you . Md Maruf Parvez (talk) 23:43, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Md Maruf Parvez. You "edited episode count of an Indian tv show by depending on information of another Wikipedia page", which is something we never do in Wikipedia. This is because Wikipedia is not considered to be a reliable source, given that it is open-sourced and is known to contain many errors. Please read the page called WP:CIRCULAR, which explains why we never cite Wikipedia to support facts in Wikipedia. When changing facts in articles, always be sure to cite supporting sources in a way that is helpful to readers of the article, that is, by using in-line citations, and you will be "good to go". If you get your facts from a Wikipedia article, be sure to cite the same source the article gives as the reference.--Quisqualis (talk) 00:03, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

This is the reason why I have trusted the source Wikipedia page: That Indian tv serial have been aired since a very long period and have been telecasted several times of a week. So the episode count can't be so low. The episode count, I think, is higher than as mentioned in the source Wikipedia page. You can search for it. As I found higher episode count on another willing page I edited the episode count based on that information and information of other web search results. Md Maruf Parvez (talk) 00:10, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Md Maruf Parvez my point is that it is never acceptable to cite Wikipedia as a source for a Wikipedia article, ever. We editors must all find a reliable source for our changes to an article's facts, and cite it properly. Otherwise, our edits will be reverted.--Quisqualis (talk) 00:17, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Trolling

Re: User:Hamuyi it has been clear to me from day one also, that they are just trolling, other users seem to have an absolutely remarkable amount of "assume good faith" they are probably a sock of User:Shadowblade08 or User:Firestar9990 or at least from the same school. Theroadislong (talk) 18:15, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Yes, they all appear to have hatched from the same clutch of eggs this spring. There are a few more, including user:DaniHart08, who I knew right away was an adult male, and they all converse on-wiki. Initially, I thought it a miracle that Hamuyi and Shadowblade08.2 had found one another, and I hoped they would "get a room", but that was not to be. I've seen this trolling pattern a lot on the TH, perhaps with a different master; it seems to be be a compelling form of entertainment.--Quisqualis (talk) 18:26, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Yes and the more that admins assume good faith ad infinitum, the more fun it is for the trolls. Theroadislong (talk) 18:36, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

At times, editors find themselves competing to be helpful in these ridiculous situations.
Yet another, and, I believe, entirely original troll is Visionhelp. Initially, I thought this was a tragic case of schizophrenia or dementia. I later realized that they were a master of pompous, irritated pseudo-German gibberish. I think the sheer persistence of these trolls reveals their intent, as with a recently blocked user I seem to remember as "Ram Nareshji". AGF needs to be backed up by WP:CHECKUSER, given that WP is blocking around 1,000 users per day.--Quisqualis (talk) 19:10, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

I agree regarding Hamuyi, and suspect ShadowBlade08 is a troll as well as DaniHart08. The question is, SPI or ANI? Nobody wants to chase these accounts down because they are believed to be kids. I don't think they are kids, but rather sophisticated trolls. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 20:34, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Yes, mimicking childish linguistic patterns is part of the game, as young users are sacrosanct (probably for good reason). Either intentionally or otherwise, however, these trolls manage to insert "grown up" expressions into their posts at odd times, raising a red flag. Teahouse, beware.--Quisqualis (talk) 21:41, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Berrrell Jensen

Hi Quisqualis, I notice you are editing the Berrell Jensen page. I hope this is the place to query those edits, I'm new to this. There has been question as to whether Jensen is notable enough to be included in Wikipedia. However, you have made cuts to the text removing the following

She exhibited at Drian Galleries amongst others.

Drian Galleries are famous in history of art galleries for a number of reasons. Please Google Drian Gallery, Drian Galleries and Halima Nalecz. That Berrell Jensen exhibited there creates a context for the notability of her work. You have also removed:

In 1965 her work was included in a group show in Hester Rupert Art Museum, Graaff-Reinet,

Again, this is pertinent to the question of notability as a user, I forget who, suggested that this particular exhibition was 'notable' because it occurred in a museum.

I understand citations are needed and User:Cullen328 has offered to help with this, it will take time.

Also you have edited the text so it now reads:

In 1977, Jensen moved to the United Kingdom, where she then started a craft centre in County Donegal, Ireland.

You are the second editor to assume Ireland is in the United Kingdom. This is a serious error, given the history of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Thanks! --SandAJ (talk) 21:20, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Shock absorber - removed my 3D model?

Hi Quisqualis, I see you removed my 3D model of shock absorber which was added in Shock absorber article. Considering it is related to the subject and from engineering/mechanic area and people from that field are also interested to see an actual 3D model, may I ask why it was removed and what I did wrong? I also see you removed several of my 3D models added to specific subjects. I really do not see a reason for doing that: I followed all rules by Wikipedia, all those 3D models are mine, my copyrights, giving it for free for educational purposes and all of them are related to the subject of the article. I am just trying to improve things here, especially from engineering area, considering all of us use 3D models in 2020. Isn't that a step forward for Wikipedia, new improvement, especially when knowing that students use Wikipedia as a source of information? Some articles computer animations and video clips (and that is great!), so why 3D models cannot be added, too? Thank you in advance! Dape13 (talk) 06:36, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Wisbech

I must assume that you spotted my quaintly-worded plea at the Teahouse, and have "replied" by taking action.

I pressed the thanks button on a couple of edits, but didn't wish to ring the bell too often! Sincere best wishes, Tribe of Tiger ^{Let's Purrfect!} 01:51, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Yes, narrative structure would be beneficial. I had to take action when I saw 16th-century subsistence fishing referred to as "sport". I do hope the article's content is hosted elsewhere than Wikipedia, as we're not a webhost.--Quisqualis (talk) 02:00, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

I realized that I lacked basic knowlege in in many areas, such as the one you have mentioned. I think some of the info was sourced, so it is not "forever lost". But plugging in one sentence factoids, even if sourced, creates a list, not an encyclopedia article. Tribe of Tiger ^{Let's Purrfect!} 02:12, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank You

Thank you for the work on the lede. The shorter version is better.

I would like to include the fuller description of the philosophy by the Founder under the Philosophy section and I will try to condense that section.

The matter of classes/promo is important. At the same time, in order to see what Aesthetic Realism is in the real world, there needs to be a description of how the principles apply to subjects. I understand NOR and I’m thinking what to include that’s brief and is sourced properly.

Thanks again for your help. Lore E. Mariano (talk) 01:49, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

I'm looking at the massive cuts you did on the Poetry section. I think I agree that a long section about poetry may not belong here and I can move that section to the Eli Siegel article; however, since the philosophy is based on poetry (which it still says), the definition of poetry as given by Eli Siegel needs to be put back in. Let me think about it and see how I can do it in the briefest, most efficient way. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get to it for a day or two given work obligations. Lore E. Mariano (talk) 14:21, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

sourced content is not always trivia

The variants of spelling of mate is not trivial as it has caused a great deal of discussion on the article's talk page. You might want to explain your concerns and gain consensus there before you try to delete the content again. Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:49, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

While its possible they could be a troll or a sock, they are much more likely just a newbie who doesn't quite get how things work around here. We have plenty of people try to do RfA's without understanding how things work. In the future, please make sure to assume good faith. If they're really a problem and they shouldn't be here, we can just block them. No need to tell them to leave. Also, you shouldn't assume folks are socks unless you have evidence. Now if you have evidence they're a sock, then you should open an SPI instead. Smooth sailing, CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 06:41, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Hey, please never talk to me again please.

Hey, on my talk page. You called me a troll which I'm not. I think all you will do is constantly keep saying it. SO... in that case, never talk to me again or talk on my user talk page. I have muted you now. Thanks. (FYI, you likely got me confused with someone.)Toad62 (talk) 22:53, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

That would depend solely upon your future editing behavior. Please stop your incessant trolling of Wikipedia. If you have made more than one unambiguously constructive edit in your lengthy edit history as a variety of "newbie" trolls, I'd be somewhat shocked.--Quisqualis (talk) 22:57, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

First off, I kept editing my user page because I felt like something was always missing or the text boxes were off, and that's another thing too, MY USER PAGE. This never affected articles, and plus it's my user page so I should what I want with it and it's not something for you to be the boss of, you can't even make rules because you are not an admin of this website. 2nd off, I am a newbie! My account is only 2 days old. 3rd off you should speak for yourself because you have been nothing but rude to other users. Some messages I have seen on your talk page revolve around people saying you need to calm down and stop calling people trolls because its likely they are newbies. Learn some manners. (FYI, if you post on my user page again, I'm deleting what you said.) Toad62 (talk) 23:31, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Nobody has mentioned your user page, Toad62. You are an adult, and not at all new to Wikipedia. You've had perhaps dozens of accounts in the past year, most abandoned. You feign being unfamiliar with English one moment, and then feign a dyslexic American child the next. It's really racist to demean English learners by mocking them, and the same goes for those who legitimately have to overcome dyslexia. I pity you for your obvious alienation from productive society; now leave us alone, Hamuyi, DaniHart08, Shadowblade08, Foodboy1, Leonardox2020, Lucky7Chromebook, and, most likely, Debdoot guha.--Quisqualis (talk) 23:39, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

(Redacted) While I did have other accounts it was only Caleb625 and Toad625, I deleted them because I barely used them. And I didn't really want to do this but I'm emailing Wikipedia telling them that you are harassing me. Please leave me alone. Toad62 (talk) 23:46, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Your act is riddled with holes, because it's hard to convincingly be other people all the time. You give yourself away every other sentence. If you have the dexterity to report yourself to SPI, I'm shocked that you must resort to emailing the Foundation in this instance. I guess you are hoping for the endgame so "Sierra" will be afforded longer walks.--Quisqualis (talk) 23:53, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

PS:Accounts cannot be "deleted". Ever.--Quisqualis (talk) 23:56, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

This bickering is not benefiting either of you or the project. Please stop arguing with each other and return to doing productive work. It would be best if you stayed off each other's talk page. That is not an order, it's a suggestion. I do not want to see this escalate. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:58, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Sources

I can consult other pages to find out what references to use ? 👀Gremista.32 (talk) 23:00, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

That would be common sense. If English poses difficulty for you, perhaps there is a Wikipedia in your first language that you would find easier to edit. If you have a physical disability which makes typing difficult, it would aid your cause quite a bit to declare it on your user page, as you are tending to annoy other editors with your limited English vocabulary.--Quisqualis (talk) 23:04, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi Quisqualis! First time meeting with you here.

Do you know who Paul Ahyi is? If you tell me who is he before this day, I don't know who is he. But, I just found out that Paul Ahyi is a LTA (or part of it, but I consider them as one and the same). Sorry to say this, but this LTA used to send me a death threat. Since you have an e-mail, I'll sent to you a message what they mean. SMB99thx my edits 04:21, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Are sure the date format is right? I just want to check because I thought it was that way, but if I'm wrong, then that's fine. Toad62 (talk) 20:51, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Population Spread

Hey there Quisqualis, I just saw that you edited the Edmeston, New York page, removing the red link for population spread. I'm guessing you saw my question about it and since I'm still learning how things work on here, I was wondering what your thought process was. I've been looking into how the Census generally labels the type of age data that is currently labeled as population spread on this page. It looks like that type of data is usually called age structure/distribution/composition. Still looking around for exact census data from 2000 so I can match up the data and see how they labeled it exactly. Thanks! Otsegomaniac (talk) 18:57, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi, Otsegomaniac, I've noticed over the years the expression "The population was spread out, with xxx.xxx people..." consistently used in demographics sections in city articles. I find it a bit awkward, in that Wikipedia redundantly states that a population is "spread out" when that is what populations do. You are free to emulate the stock phrase or improve it. Thanks.--Quisqualis (talk) 21:31, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi! You replied to my post at the teahouse, and I took your advice when creating the synopsis section of my article. It is now complete! Thanks for the proofread and edits!--Redactedentity (talk) 05:57, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

I did a bit of proofing, and tagged 2 passages where the wording was unclear to me. I am suddenly sleepy, but let me know when you've fixed the wording and I'll look at it tomorrow.--Quisqualis (talk) 06:40, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

I added clarification where needed to the "synopsis" section. I agree that it was a bit rushed and I did not explain my wording clearly enough. By the way, how do you enter links when putting in edit summaries?(for example, the arrow pointing towards an article subsection) --Redactedentity (talk) 06:47, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

It's [[article title#subsection]]. It appears as the latter part of the URL once you have clicked the subsection in the table of contents, so you can copy it. Hope this helps.--Quisqualis (talk) 18:14, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Hey, sorry about that...

I wanted to apologize for getting off the wrong foot. I understand if you're not ready to forgive me, and I understand that. I'm sorry for everything, I shouldn't have responded to you rudely when you left your first message to me on Wikipedia, instead I should have been explaining politely to you my point of view and telling you I'm not the person you were confusing me with. Have a good day and stay safe. Toad62 15:12, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Map

The map is just the map of the fire borders, not where it's located. And how the hell is it "confusing"? ------[] /\/\/\ /\ []-------- GDFan 21:13, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

There's also another map below the infobox, showing its approximate location. ------[] /\/\/\ /\ []-------- GDFan 21:14, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

I find the vertical striping annoying, and the lack of other geographical clues makes it look like an island in the ocean. The specific outlines of the fire complex are of little use to most readers, as the fire is over. Use the California map in the infobox.--Quisqualis (talk) 21:20, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Cargèse

hi Quisqualis. you have reverted an edit by 151.36.8.136 (EOLE79's sock) in the article about Cargèse, but 151.34.3.132 (the same guy) restored it. the edit is not totally wrong, except that: there are many other english pronunciations without source, such as in "Basel" and "Occitanie" articles, so there is no reason to remove it from that article; the order of the italian pronunciations should be inverted, that is "karˈdʒeːze" first and then "-eːse". i hope that the information i have provided will be useful for you, i can not be helpful with the other edits by the ip guy unfortunately. have a good day 🙂 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.78.213.2 (talk) 15:45, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Can you explain what instructions you're referring to here please? The not english tag ("However, please do not add an automated translation to the article, since these are generally of very poor quality") and Wikipedia:Translation ("Avoid machine translations") are both very clear that this should not be done. --Jac16888 ^Talk 14:01, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

I did misread the instructions. However, in my hours of researching this situation, I discovered the article's creator is a college student who views WP as a form of amusement, and who is socking. While the unsourced article is substantially similar to many Indian village articles, the first paragraph goes overboard (to say the least) and is a parody of the genre. Would you mind if I appended the translation to come after the original Hindi? I hope it will help with the deletion process.--Quisqualis (talk) 14:52, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

COI edits are done

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I placed the COI template—but not undisclosed paid editor (because I am not paid, explanation is given)on three entries (Rethinking Marxism, Stephen Resnick, and Jack Amariglio) that I initiated. I have also placed the required template on my Talk page. Please adjust the warning on the Rethinking Marxism entry reflecting these declarations.Ymadra (talk) 03:31, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

The template on Rethinking Marxism is still there, due to the fact that it was hard (WP assumes) for you to be objective. It's just a heads-up for readers and watchers of the page, and will need to remain until the "current version", edited by unconnected editors over the years, bears little resemblance to the version as of right now. I guess you're aware that, having made your declaration, you will only contribute to the article via edit request.--Quisqualis (talk) 04:42, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

About user name Mieliestronk

Thanks, Quisqualis, as I've pointed out on my talk page, I've been Mieliestronk on Wikipedia for years and years, at least on another language platform. It was an oversight on my side even to have referred to my has-been website Mieliestronk in the first place. I have now changed my "hello page" too, just to explain my bona fides! I think I've been Mieliestronk on Wikipedias, or at least on the web here and there, long before I even had a website by that name. It actually is just a generic thing, this name. In the Afrikaans language in South Africa "Mieliestronk" simply means "corn cob" or "maize cob", nothing more. Old-timers made smoking pipes from the stuff, and I could just as well have called myself "Kruiwa" (wheel-barrow) or any other well-known thingy on South African farms. But I've been Mieliestronk so long now I can't change for the life of me. You will understand, I'm sure. Have a very nice day, Quisqualis, and thanks again. I'm 81 years old and I am a law-abiding South African, believe me, I am! ☺ -- Mieliestronk (talk) 03:06, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Deleted References from draft - Institute B61

Thanks for looking into my draft of Institute B61. Unfortunately, I do not understand why you deleted nearly all of my references.

The original draft was rejected because there were not enough references. In the last two weeks I was adding those references from sources as varied as possible: nation-wide magazines and newspapers, city portals, culture portals, film festivals, national culture institutions, national science portals, etc. I cannot find more reliable sources for a non-governmental organisation that organises events merging science, music, and performance.

Please advise.

• Why did you delete those references?
• What other references should I look for?
• What other references can be used for a culture-related NGO?

Thanks for your help. Nick Saturday — Preceding undated comment added 06:05, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Nick Saturday I know that I removed a lot of text, but it's my practice to leave source citations in place, rather than removing them along with the text. It appears that I removed several citations without being aware of it. You may freely put those citations back into the article. I'm sorry to have inconvenienced and confused you.--Quisqualis (talk) 06:16, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Quisqualis, thanks for your answer. You gave me a heart-attack for a minute ;-) I will restore the links/references, but I think I will keep the new organisation of the text as you changed it. Thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nick Saturday (talk • contribs) 07:38, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

OhioanSBR

Things are getting a bit strange over on this user's talk page. I would suggest you drop it. You have said numerous times that English is not their first language, without any evidence. In this edit you go back and bold your previous comments in an unfriendly way, and also change a comment that has already been applied to. Time to step back. Possibly (talk) 17:46, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Ugh, you are right. The bolding was so they would not tend to ignore the whole thing. Still reverting their edits, while shaking my damn head.--Quisqualis (talk) 17:51, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, glad you agree. WP:CIR is not so precisely defined, but it's certainly an issue when it comes to that user's edits. Unfortunately I can't think of an easy way to correct it. Possibly (talk) 17:54, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

What actually galls me the most is the editors who, upon noticing bad edits, uncritically encouraged this person to continue, then left them to their own devices. When you see a red flag, do something, people, like write an emphatic note, rather than a template or nothing at all. Too few page watchers right now, it seems. I think the "stop hand nuvola" may be my new best friend...--Quisqualis (talk) 17:59, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Category:Lists of monuments and memorials in Morocco

Hello. Regarding this revert. I don't see any problems with that edit of mine. Excuse me if you already know, but perhaps you are not familiar with how sortkeys work. See Help:Category#Sorting category pages. Sorting items for a category list uses the same syntax as a pipe link, but it's not a pipe link and has no effect on the displayed link. It merely sorts the page in question. See Category:Lists of monuments and memorials in Morocco. Currently the page 'List of monuments and sites in Tata, Morocco' is alphabetically sorted under L for "List", the first letter of the title (this is result of the revert), instead of being listed under T for "Tata", as I intended by adding the sortkey. If my edit did something wrong or something else I'm missing, please let me know. Thanks. --DB1729 (talk) 20:01, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

DB1729, please forgive me. I truly thought that was a functioning pipe link! Thanks for the syntax lesson.--Quisqualis (talk) 20:13, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

No problem. Seen others do the same and you won't be the last. It's unfortunate that early WP designers chose to use the same character "|" for these two functions, but I guess the other unused characters looked too awkward.

I'm going to revert back to my version shortly after saving this (unless you or someone else beats me to it). Happy New Year! --DB1729 (talk) 20:36, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

HNY!

Dear Quisqualis, I wish you all the best for the new year!

I just read helpful lines from you about portrait pictures. I think there is still a lot potential in WP ("uniformly neutral" instead of "inconsistent - partly advantageous, partly disadvantageous").

Enjoy the rest of the holidays! --F.Blaubiget (talk) 14:39, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

PS: Interesting that you keep "your red name" ;-)

You're being rude

Hey, this kind of comment does not belong on Wikipedia. Please try to maintain a more professional tone, and remember that nobody's "forced" to do anything here. You're a WP:VOLUNTEER, so if you don't want to 'undo their "work" and write it ourselves', then don't, and don't complain about it, either. It's a big wiki, so if you find yourself regularly being rude to editors with less experience than you, then please look for a different way to contribute. There's no need to contribute in ways that lead you to make false accusations of COI or to complain that other editors aren't perfect.

I also notice that you also accused the author of not knowing what he was talking about, but I found the article comprehensible, even though I've never heard of the company or its devices before. I conclude from this that medical devices and the controversies surrounding stents aren't your field. If you decide to continue working with drafts, please remember that you can ask for help in understanding a subject from the relevant WikiProjects. WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:29, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Ever hear the one about the pot and the kettle?--Quisqualis (talk) 02:43, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Of course. But I'd make a distinction between telling a peer to maintain our civility standards and saying things like "it's painfully obvious to me that this article's author has absolutely no clue about this company or its field of endeavor" or suggesting that an article is so incomprehensible to you that it must have been written by a bot. WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:12, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Refresh my memory, please. Where did I complain about incomprehensibility?--Quisqualis (talk) 03:18, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

I encourage you to be a little gentler with less experienced editors. Maybe make that your New Year's resolution, if you're into that sort of thing. WhatamIdoing (talk) 04:36, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for understanding on this Wikipedia page--Hacker-index (talk) 16:49, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Disruptive editor

Quisqualis, I gave Sarah Shaheenbaz Faizi a last warning on Jan 3, so there's not really much point in scolding them about edits made before that, as you are doing. If you'd care to help me keep an eye out for disruptive editing after my warning, I'd appreciate it. Bishonen | tålk 17:20, 7 January 2021 (UTC).

I thought they were indeffed in Dec. How do WP:NOTHERE and WP:CIR cure themselves with a few days' block? I've reported them to AIV, and hope for an indef. Definitely incorrigibly disruptive.--Quisqualis (talk) 17:28, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Ah, I see your logic. Waiting for the other shoe to drop... Although I think responding to a 3-month-old Talk post is right on the edge.--Quisqualis (talk) 17:33, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

No, they've never been blocked. Of course I won't block for "a few days" if there is more disruption after my warning — that would be pointless, as you say. I'll indef, don't worry. (BTW, I just indeffed your friend Hacker-index.) No need for AIV, IMO. Bishonen | tålk 17:42, 7 January 2021 (UTC).

WikiProject Medicine Newsletter - January 2021

Issue 8—January 2021

WikiProject Medicine Newsletter

2020 is behind us at last. Off Wikipedia, the year has been trying. On Wikipedia, I hope you've found the time you spent here fulfilling and diverting. I've taken the opportunity to place a few end-of-year statistics for reflection below. If you think of any data that would be useful to find (or begin gathering) to gauge the project's success, please let me know. With that, here is what's happening around the project:

Newly recognized content

Buruli ulcer nom. Ajpolino, my first successful FAC Anatomical terms of location nom. Tom (LT), reviewed by ArnabSaha and Aircorn Fish allergy nom. David notMD, reviewed by Bibeyjj Blood culture nom. Spicy, reviewed by Graham Beards Epidural administration nom. Berchanhimez, reviewed by Bibeyjj Charles Bingham Penrose nom. Larry Hockett, reviewed by Esculenta

Nominated for review

Louise Boursier nom. Doug Coldwell Late onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia nom. Maxim Masiutin Friedreich's ataxia nom. Akrasia25 Kivu Ebola epidemic nom. Ozzie10aaaa UPMC Presbyterian nom. Andrew nyr Crown (anatomy) nom. Bibeyjj, under review by MeegsC Alzheimer's disease Notice of impending featured article review at talk. Management of multiple sclerosis Notice of impending FAR at talk. Major depressive disorder Notice of impending FAR at talk.

Year in Review
With 2020 now in the rear view mirror, a few numbers to give a sense of where our project is at: In 2020 we added a record number of medicine articles (i.e. articles with the WP:MED tag on their talk pages), starting the year with 41,243 and ending with 45,247. The ~4,000 new articles is well above the norm, presumably due to new covid-related articles. In terms of reviewed content, we added three featured articles (Dementia with Lewy bodies, Complete blood count, and Buruli ulcer), and lost three to the ravages of time, leaving our total at 66. We also added 42 newly reviewed good articles from 23 different nominators, bringing our total to 296. See a full list of reviewed content from 2020 here. Outside of reviewed content our contributions are more challenging to measure. I'm sure much our time was spent making small improvements, guiding new editors, removing junk from articles, and dealing with the raging global pandemic (on and off the site). I am interested in ways we can quantify and assess our project's progress going forward, so if anyone has ideas for other data we could find or collect, do let me know.

Re: Genlisea nigrocaulis

Hi there. I was probably following the Carnivorous Plant Database when I created that redirect. As these taxa are no longer considered synonyms, I have pointed Genlisea nigrocaulis to the main Genlisea article for the time being. I have done the same for Genlisea oxycentron and Genlisea pulchella. Best, mgiganteus1 (talk) 03:37, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Be kind enough

and accept that I do not plan to discuss something which means little to me, nor do I feel the need to have endless debates about once again - nothing. I have the full right to delete or archive whatever I like from my TP. Do not harass me and be civil. Sadkσ (talk is cheap) 05:07, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

If it means little to you, why have you added the same two German Nazi propaganda pix to the article more times than I can count? If you don't want to debate, then stop adding those photos, with no context given whatsoever, to History of Bosnia and Herzegovina. If you delete warnings from your Talk, it is, per the talk page guidelines, a silent admission of having read and fully understood them:

• "Although archiving is preferred, users may freely remove comments from their own talk pages. Users may also remove some content in archiving. The removal of a warning is taken as evidence that the warning has been read by the user. This specifically includes both registered and unregistered users. (Many new users believe they can hide critical comments by deleting them. This is not true: Such comments can always be retrieved from the page history.)"
  

If you find template warnings and civil requests to be uncivil harrassment, then you can kiss your Wikipedia account goodbye.--Quisqualis (talk) 05:21, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

More times then you can count?! Please do check again.

I do not plan to engage in further debate here, as there is a clear lack of good faith and I do not care for the arrogant/unfriendly approach without a solid foundation. There is a lot of context there, as would any other image of any noteworthy faction which played a part in the country's history. Sadkσ (talk is cheap) 05:42, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

About Arvin Maleki Page

You wrote "Photographic evidence of notability is forgeable", As far as I know, giving the address of the site of the world's largest design contest is enough to prove a point.

About Draft:Arvin Maleki

Thank you for your response. About his books, the link is from the "National Library and Archives of I.R. Iran" and his name in Persian is "سجاد ملکی", so you can see with this name. also, he translated these books, not writing them, but still, the word "publications" is true for both of them. About his rank in design, the World Design Ranking is the only and the most authoritative reference in the world for ranking designers, please tell me about these items. thanks again,Mohitchairu (talk) 22:49, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

See your Talk page.--Quisqualis (talk) 00:02, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your response again about his books; he changes his profession from computer engineering to industrial design, and he mentioned it in his interviews, and I do not think it is "ridiculous" as you said. By the way, we can not judge someone and his/her profession.Mohitchairu (talk) 13:55, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Mohitchairu, please observe the talk page convention of indenting posts using colons, as is done by the vast majority of Wikipedia posters.

You continue to drain the resources of Wikipedia with your blatant hoax of a draft, for unknown ends. All I can tell you at this point is I was the last user on Wikipedia to give it any time, other than yourself, who continues to seek petty amusement in this rude and time-wasting fashion. If your were intending a send-up of modern social values in the "creative class" and its self-promotion, you haven't succeeded by my standards. You have made yourself look pretty ridiculous, though, with the fake websites and PR/social media entries. Maleki, as described in the article, is not an actual person, but an invention. I'm not really amused, although my heart has been further hardened against would-be promoters on Wikipedia. Now please p1ss off. Thanks.--Quisqualis (talk) 17:46, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

As mentioned above, please p1ss off, and don't attempt to alter Wikipedia edit history by unauthorized removal of posts on others' talk pages. It doesn't work; the history remains unchanged. Beginner mistake.--Quisqualis (talk) 18:28, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

I preferred to clear the discussion because I do not see anything from you but insults and personal comments.Mohitchairu (talk) 18:36, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

I have zero respect for your preferences. You are attempting to exploit Wikipedia to promote a fraud, apparently in some sincerity. I just don't get your persistence in wasting the time of others. Please go away. Never post on my talk page again, or risk the consequences.--Quisqualis (talk) 19:16, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Presumption of Good Faith

It is {WP} policy for editors to presume good faith on the part other editors, not issuing insults regarding their edits. I recommend Quisqualis to review that policy in regards to my edit of Steve Cohen, now restored with a more accurate reference, which Quisqualis could have easily found if he had tried.. --Zeamays (talk) 22:29, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Civility

(edit conflict) If you have not already, please take a moment to review one of the core pillars of our project, WP:CIVILITY. If you have read it already - it's probably time to read it again. Edits like this and this are not what I would expect to see from long-term contributors to the project. SQL^{Query me!} 17:32, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

I would strongly suggest that you stop doing this. SQL^{Query me!} 17:33, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

• Not sure where to put this, but since it related to the above; I've semi-protected this page to prevent further posts by the likely blocked user behind this. In return I'd ask you (Quisqualis, not SQL) not to revert the header back. If nothing else, there's a non-zero chance they aren't actually the blocked user, and then I'd look like an asshole helping you be mean to a helpless IP editor. --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:12, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

By now SQL may have noticed that the IP(s) never made a header for their unsigned post. They may be the subject of my recent SPI. They have no right to change the header I put on my Talk for their post. I'm not being uncivil, in light of what I'm up against. I'm being direct. Wikipedia is being assailed on all sides by bad actors. Think public toilet wall. Or disabled car left in the Bronx in 1972. I have no patience for these ill-intentioned pests.--Quisqualis (talk) 19:56, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

You don't get to mock / taunt people just because they didn't set a header. There is no exception in WP:CIVILITY for abusing users accused of being sockpuppets. I get being frustrated, and lashing out with a "fuck you" or similar, as Floquenbeam mentions - but repeatedly edit warring to mock and taunt is something else entirely. If anything, it's likely to encourage them to double down on their efforts - because they're getting the attention that they wanted. SQL^{Query me!} 01:27, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing to the history of the Arabic Diacritics page.

I have heard from the contributor whose name I found, and s/he wrote that the relevant assertion was already there at the time s/he did some corrections S/He did, however, agree that the relevant assertion is "common knowledge" among those of us who study Arabic, and s/he suggested I do an Internet search for an authority who states it.

IP film article editor

Hey there, I see you recently left a note at User talk:2600:1700:7FB0:39C0:2C4B:F6BF:1F68:DE69, but the current IP is (was? moves quick) 2600:1700:7FB0:39C0:D4AA:8417:A4B0:C4A3 (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · proxy check · block user · block log · cross-wiki contribs · CheckUser (log)). I ask because the ...DE69 IP hadn't edited since November and the ...C4A3 was from today. Do you have a backlog of this editor's prior IPs that you have noticed over time? A rangeblock might be attainable if the disruption continues and you have the backup. JesseRafe (talk) 20:29, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

From what I recall, I found the IP edit as one of A3's first edits to WP. It was something to do with John Travolta and the name 'Wrath', I think. (Sadly, they have an extensive history of edits.) I just clicked on one of the oldest, and landed on the 'wrath' edit. However, that doesn't quite make sense, and I lost the history by looping back with the back button. Be sure to escalate my warnings if you attempt to block.

Here is the edit, which was followed 6 hours later by a string of edits from a related IP to the same article. Best of luck to you.--Quisqualis (talk) 20:48, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

Ah, was hoping you had a list of the others of the pattern. I know I've seen this editor before; I have a lot of their targets already on my watchlist, e.g. saw them on They Live and Al Leong at the same time. Reported to ARV, because it looked like they were still active at that exact moment (and purposefully didn't write on their talk) and maybe they noticed and were spooked or were done for the day. Unless they're switching IPs while editing disruptively in a very short timeframe, admins are unlikely (and for good reason) to institute a rangeblock, unless it's really really systematic and ongoing. If you find what led you to that older IP and any threads that tie them, maybe it's better to catalog at WP:LTA than ARV (where I was hoping for real-time block on at least one account). Cheers! JesseRafe (talk) 20:55, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

Are you familiar with dynamic IPs? I believe this person has an IP that spontaneously changes without their input. Given that I was the first to warn them after many months of their blithely making bad edits, it's possible that WP is their hobby and they believe they are editing constructively. Not that they shouldn't be stopped, though!--Quisqualis (talk) 21:04, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

We, our and us

See Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Grammar and usage. It concluded that "To maintain an objective and impersonal encyclopedic voice, an article should never refer to its editors or readers using I, my, we, us, or similar forms." Author's we in scientific writing should be rephrasing with passive voice. It is not compulsory at all but if we follow Wikipedia:Writing better articles#Use of pronouns is preferable to construct the best tone in the encyclopedia.

Question from MariWriter

It seems to unfair treatment of specific users
Hi!
@Quisqualis: Here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:MariWriter) you wrote that jelvix.com is a blog that does not belong to reliable sources according to Wikipedia standards and deleted my edit to the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_business However, in the same article there is a link to a similar jelvix source. Here is this source - https://www.altexsoft.com/blog/business/using-business-model-canvas-to-launch-a-technology-startup-or-improve-established-operating-model/— Preceding unsigned comment added by MariWriter (talk • contribs)

Please explain to me why this source is authoritative? It is also a blog. It seems to me that this is an unfair attitude towards me. And I am a valuable contributor to the editing of Wikipedia. I appreciate if you explain to me this situation.

MariWriter, there is a problem with using any blog as a source for Wikipedia content. As I said on your Talk page, "Reliable source standards clearly state that blogs are never used in citations supporting article content, as blogs are not compelled to be neutral, or even accurate."

The tag, {{better}} should be applied after the blog citations still in that article if you cannot find a better citation to support the article's content.--Quisqualis (talk) 14:37, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Here you added a spam link to ZEBOC, supporting it with a citation of a public-relations press release website, which is also improper. An administrator reverted it. Please read about what is a reliable sorce.--Quisqualis (talk) 14:54, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Bananatex

Thanks very much for your additions to the article I started, you're clearly very knowledgable on the topic. Please do add aditional references for the information you've added otherwise it may be removed. Thanks again John Cummings (talk) 00:29, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Most of what I've found is from the Bananatex sources. I will cite the specific pages. It's an interesting fabric, but very expensive to produce!--Quisqualis (talk) 00:53, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Yes, hopefully it will get cheaper with scale, let me know if there's anything I can do to help. John Cummings (talk) 08:41, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Quisqualis,

Wikipedia is a project that contains links to various sources and blogs as well. Do you think I should ask permission for each of them? Was my information unconfirmed or incorrect? I do not understand the reason why you deliberately delete all my edits. I want to make my valuable contribution to the development of Wikipedia. It’s a pity that you are limiting my options. I think this doesn't seem right.

Unfortunately, from all your clarifications, I understand that you have some personal opinions regarding my contribution to Wikipedia. Am I right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MariWriter (talk • contribs)

MariWriter, you have been warned several times about spamming the Jelvix blog.--Quisqualis (talk) 23:17, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

• We have a bit of a backlog of good article nominations. Please help improve these articles by reviewing one if you have time. Instructions here.
• WP:URFA/2020 is reviewing and updating FAs that were promoted long ago. Several medicine-related FAs are on the list. Noting current work below. Feel free to jump in and help wherever you're interested:
  • Acute myeloid leukemia (promoted in 2006) is getting a thorough update led by Tom (LT) and Spicy. Help is welcome.
  • Influenza (promoted in 2006) was updated by Velayinosu and is awaiting review.
  • Lung cancer (promoted in 2007) was updated by Axl, Graham Beards, and JenOttawa in preparation for a now-aborted run as WP:TFA.

Joan Mondale Article

I have recently reverted another unsourced edit to the Joan Mondale article by User:75.88.180.192 regarding her reported service as a librarian, which you also previously reverted, and warned the user that any further unsourced edits may be reverted. Any further assistance you can provide relating to this issue would be most appreciated.--TommyBoy (talk) 01:24, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

Copying licensed material requires attribution

Hi. I see in a recent addition to Milwaukee shoulder syndrome you included material from a webpage that is available under a compatible Creative Commons Licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. It's also required under the terms of the license. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa (talk) 14:50, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Invitation to take part in a survey about medical topics on Wikipedia

Dear fellow editor,

I am Piotr Konieczny, a sociologist of new media at Hanyang University (and User:Piotrus on Wikipedia). I would like to better understand Wikipedia's volunteers who edit medical topics, many associated with the WikiProject Medicine, and known to create some of the highest quality content on Wikipedia. I hope that the lessons I can learn from you that I will present to the academic audience will benefit both the WikiProject Medicine (improving your understanding of yourself and helping to promote it and attract new volunteers) and the wider world of medical volunteering and academia. Open access copy of the resulting research will be made available at WikiProject's Medicine upon the completion of the project.

All questions are optional. The survey is divided into 4 parts: 1 - Brief description of yourself; 2 - Questions about your volunteering; 3 - Questions about WikiProject Medicine and 4 - Questions about Wikipedia's coverage of medical topics.

Please note that by filling out this questionnaire, you consent to participate in this research. The survey is anonymous and all personal details relevant to your experience will be kept private and will not be transferred to any third party.

I appreciate your support of this research and thank you in advance for taking the time to participate and share your experiences! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me at my Wikipedia user page or through my email listed on the survey page (or by Wikipedia email this user function).

The survey is accessible through the LINK HERE.

Hello, Quisqualis,

Any time you tag a page for any type of deletion (CSD, PROD, AFD/RFD/TFD/etc.), please post a notification on the talk page of the page creator. This is done most easily by using Twinkle when you tag pages for deletion. Twinkle has a lot of great features and is very simple to use. Most importantly, once you set up your Twinkle Preferences to "Notify page creator", then Twinkle will post these notices for you. It's an editing tool used by most new page patrollers and many of our admins so I encourage its adoption. It will even maintain logs for you of pages that you've tagged in case that's something you are interested in. Thank you for your contributions. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:02, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, Liz; that makes perfect sense. I've done so. Quisqualis (talk) 03:45, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Collegen copyright infringement flag

Hello there!

You flagged the collagen article as a copyright violation, but looking at the article history, the content you flagged was added over a decade before that book was published. It appears the book took the content from wikipedia, not the other way around.

For example, compare the book you linked and this edit. In addition, I don't think you followed the instructions when flagging an article as a copyright violation.

Do you mind checking further on this? \/\/slack (talk) 19:07, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Important Notice

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 pseudoscience and fringe science. 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.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. 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.

WikiProject Medicine Newsletter

Back (for now) by popular demand, it's the WP:MED Newsletter! Pardon the 9-month hiatus. This month features a catch-up list of promoted GAs since the last newsletter, and some calls to action for those looking to add to their todo lists. I hope this finds you well. Enjoy.

Newly recognized content

WP:MED News

• Since last newsletter, frightfully few medicine articles have passed through our main content review processes, Good Article and Featured Article. While we can agree there's more to editing than chasing bronze stars and green blobs, it would be nice to see the catalog of "Good" and "Featured" medicine articles growing rather than just aging. If you're interested in taking on a project but would like some light guidance or a helping hand, feel free to post your plans at WT:MED and you may find others willing to join.
• An ongoing effort seeks to review/update our oldest featured articles. Major depressive disorder, Lung cancer, and Schizophrenia are next on the chopping block (so to speak). If you're interested in helping to update any, please post at WT:MED or at those articles' talk pages. If you're new to the FA process, I'd encourage you to enlist the help of someone(s) who has been through the process before, as they can help clarify expectations and save you time.
• Got a minute? Running low on inspiration/motivation and need a simple task? Check out the 247 medicine articles tagged as citing no sources!

News from around the site

• The Reading/Web team has rolled out a new skin called "Vector 2022" that will soon become the default. Opt-in in your Preferences to try it out. As with any visual update, it'll take some getting used to. If you hate it, don't panic; once it becomes default you'll still be able to opt-out in your Preferences.
• The folks who brought us the nifty "Reply" button have now rolled out a "Subscribe" button to be notified of comments in a particular thread. I believe it's turned on for everyone now. Try it on a busy talk page (e.g. WT:MED).
• Voting is open for the community nominees to the WMF Board of Trustees, until September 6th.

Quoting versus paraphrasing

Please see my comment with the above title at Talk:Abraham Lincoln and slavery. Maurice Magnus (talk) 13:14, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Tyrsenian languages

I rolled back the sentence that was there before, which in my opinion is definitely much more accurate than yours. Whereas the sentence you wrote is wrong, because it makes believe that the Etruscans genetically were survivors of the Neolithic-Chalcolithic populations, when in fact genetically, as stated by the geneticists themselves, the Etruscans were similar to the Latins, both in autosomal DNA and uniparental markers, so much so that the Etruscans also have Steppe ancestry. So it is the language that has survived, but the Etruscans are not Neolithic-Chalcolithic survivors, any more than are peoples speaking Indo-European languages like the Latins. I don't think it's true what you say, geneticists also answer the lingusitic question. So much so that even the next paragraph reiterates the concept (Krause is one of the authors of this research as well). This is the paragraph from the 2021 study: "The historically documented persistence of the non–Indo-European Etruscan language in Etruria indicates that this speech community was maintained despite a large-scale admixture, a situation similar to the Basque region in Iberia where a non–Indo-European language endures today (24). This linguistic persistence, combined with a genetic turnover, challenges simplistic assumptions that genes equal languages and suggests a more complex scenario that may have involved the assimilation of (early) Italic speakers by the Etruscan speech community, possibly during a prolonged period of admixture over the second millennium BCE. This scenario is made plausible by the recent finding of steppe-related ancestry in central Italy as early as 1650 BCE followed by an increase of this component through time (18). Although Etruscan is considered a relict language, which survived in central Italy until the Imperial Period, it was not isolated. Instead, Etruscan seems to be linked to both Rhaetic, a language documented in the eastern Alps in a population that ancient historians claim to have migrated from the Po valley, and to Lemnian, a language putatively spoken on ancient Lemnos in the Aegean Sea. This leaves the question open as to whether these enigmatic “Tyrsenian” languages may somehow relate to sea-borne expansions from the eastern Mediterranean (37). However, the lack of Iranian-related ancestry in C.Italy_Etruscan might also suggest that the close linguistic affinity across the Mediterranean Sea could represent population movements departing from the Italian peninsula." Please reconsider your edit, because your sentence is incorrect, and states something wrong.--Chiorbone da Frittole (talk) 10:07, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

I noticed that a message you recently left to Jhawi 3897 may have been unduly harsh. Please remember not to bite the newcomers. If you see others making a common mistake, consider politely pointing out what they did wrong and showing them how to correct it. It takes more time, but it helps us retain new editors. Users are allowed to voice agreement in a deletion discussion without fear of another user removing their comments. - "Ghost of Dan Gurney" ^{(work / talk)} 07:21, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

@GhostOfDanGurney, I know you mean well, but the editor in question mistakes Wikipedia for a "discussion forum" or social media. By displaying need and naivete and enabling email, vulnerable users may come to a woeful fate in their search for friends on Wikipedia.

Draft:Yayzy

Hi Quisqualis,

Really appreciate all the hard work in contributing to Draft:Yayzy.

About your comment - Does this mean the subject I choose for wiki shouldn't currently have a page until it has more verifiable sources?

Also - can I keep all your edits? they were amazing.

Thanks again Jerry3zs (talk) 21:35, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi Jerry3zs, My comment was my observation, based on the sourcing for the draft and the other comments left on the page. I don't review/accept/decline drafts, so you may just want to wait it out (could be months, there's no queue), and see what actually happens. My foggy crystal ball says that, given current Wikipedia acceptance standards, it is unlikely to make it. You could ask one of the declining reviewers whether sourcing is currently the problem. The draft has a bushel of weak sources which don't serve to confer notability. Once a company has "made it", sourcing is easier to come by, hence, WP:TOOSOON seems quite possible to me. PS: If you wish to re-use my edits for non-Wikipedia purposes, they are the property of Wikipedia; under its licensing, attribution must be given to WP, but no $.--Quisqualis (talk) 21:47, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the explaination,

I meant, these great changes you worked on, I think they might have been reverted by mistake or something. I was wondering if I can still keep them cause I think you did an amazing job and now they're gone. Jerry3zs (talk) 21:57, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

You can find all past versions of the draft listed in order on Draft:Yayzy: Revision history.--Quisqualis (talk) 22:04, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the help, I've added your changes. Also, I've fixed some of the references to awards and mentions and added some new ones including a UK gov report citing the company, was wondering if this changes your view on the notability. Thanks again! Jerry3zs (talk) 22:51, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Block

You left me a warning on my talk page that I may be blocked without warning the next time I "vandalize" Wikipedia, I've made over 344 edits since I created my account, and I never meant to intentionally put information in articles that I didn't think were objectively helpful. Is my account currently on a watchlist or something? Hgh1985 (talk) 16:25, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

@Hgh1985, you have recently fallen afoul of good faith editing practices, creating an impression "an editor with a very recent history of overt vandalism asks about advanced permissions" of having prioritized your edit count over good editing judgment. I took note of this edit, which carelessly and gratuitously rewords an unambiguous phrase in a way which may create reader confusion. I can only guess why you chose to make that edit, but please cease making any more edits of that nature. While you appear to have studied English and are capable of generating comprehensible English prose, you do not seem to conceptualize with nuance in English, which makes the rewording of Wikipedia somewhat outside your area of competence.-- Quisqualis (talk) 18:32, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

National varieties of English

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Robert Black (serial killer), you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. David J Johnson (talk) 12:36, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

An edit to undo

Could you please consider undoing this edit at Jesselyn Radack. I cannot find a source to back up your claim that the book is self-published; I can see reasons to make that guess or assumption, perhaps, but Wikipedia articles -- particular biographies of living persons, are not the place to put guesses or assumption. --Nat Gertler (talk) 01:13, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

WikiProject Med Newsletter - Issue 21

Issue 21—June 2023

WikiProject Medicine Newsletter

Hello all. Another irregular edition of the newsletter; pardon the six-month gap. I was inspired to collect this after seeing how much activity there is in the GA space on the medicine front. Please review a GAN if you have time, and help to welcome more medicine editors into the fold:

Recognized content (since January 1!)

Trinidad Arroyo nom. Thebiguglyalien, reviewed by Mike Christie Mycobacterium nom. BluePenguin18, reviewed by Ealdgyth

Nominated for review

Hanhart syndrome nom. Etriusus, under review by Dancing Dollar Persistent stapedial artery nom. X750 Howard Florey nom. Hawkeye7 History of penicillin nom. Hawkeye7 Cataract surgery nom. Pbsouthwood COVID-19 pandemic nom. Ozzie10aaaa, under review by Shibbolethink Mohamed Hamad Satti nom. FuzzyMagma El Hadi Ahmed El Sheikh nom. FuzzyMagma Mansour Ali Haseeb nom. FuzzyMagma Sinus tarsi syndrome for peer review by Pear1020

WP:MED News

• Wikipedia:Good article reassessment is back in business, with a new process and new coordinators. If you see medicine-related GAs that may no longer meet the GA criteria, feel free to nominate them for attention/reassessment (please, not too many at once, lest we get overwhelmed). I'll incorporate them into the listings above.
• Major depressive disorder, Schizophrenia, and Dengue fever are featured articles that need updating. Feel free to chime in at the talk pages or WT:MED if you have the time/bandwidth to help update. They'll likely go to featured article review for more feedback in the near(ish) future (probably in the order listed).

Newsletter ideas, comments, and criticisms welcome here.

You are receiving this because you added your name to the WikiProject Medicine mailing list. If you no longer wish to receive the newsletter, please remove your name.

You've been unsubscribed from the Feedback Request Service

Hi Quisqualis! You're receiving this notification because you were previously subscribed to the Feedback Request Service, but you haven't made any edits to the English Wikipedia in over six months.

In order to declutter the Feedback Request Service list, and to produce a greater chance of active users being randomly selected to receive invitations to contribute, you've been unsubscribed, along with all other users who have made no edits in six months.

You do not need to do anything about this - if you are happy to not receive Feedback Request Service messages, thank you very much for your contributions in the past, and this will be the last you hear from the service. If, however, you would like to resubscribe yourself, you can follow the below instructions to do so:

1. Go to the Feedback Request Service page.
2. Decide which categories are of interest to you, under the RfC and/or GA headings.
3. Paste {{Frs user|Quisqualis|limit}} underneath the relevant heading(s), where limit is the maximum number of requests you wish to receive for that category per month.
4. Publish the page.

If you've just come back after a wikibreak and are seeing this message, welcome back! You can follow the above instructions to re-activate your subscription. Likewise, if this is an alternate account, please consider subscribing your main account in much the same way.

Note that if you had a rename and left your old name subscribed to the FRS, you may be receiving this message on your new username's talk page still. If so, make sure your new account name is subscribed to the FRS, using the same procedure mentioned above.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the Feedback Request Service talk page, or on the Feedback Request Service bot's operator's talk page. Thank you!

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Wikiproject Medicine May 2024 Newsletter

Issue 22—May 2024

WikiProject Medicine Newsletter

Hello all. Another irregular edition of the newsletter. I was inspired to collect this after seeing several medicine-interested editors nominate their first good article. Please review a GA nomination if you have time, and help support our colleagues' efforts:

Recognized content (since April 1)

National Public Health Laboratory (Sudan) nom. FuzzyMagma, reviewed by Snoteleks Nighat Arif nom. Launchballer, reviewed by Chiswick Chap

Nominated for review

Hepatic hydrothorax nom. Aeschylus Adrenal crisis nom. CursedWithTheAbilityToDoTheMath Exhaustion disorder nom. Draken Bowser Bite registration nom. Candle1, under review by Esculenta Charles Wambebe nom. Vanderwaalforces Polio Undergoing featured article review. You can contribute at the FAR page or the article talk page.

WP:MED News

• Wikipedia:Good article reassessment is back in business, with a new process and new coordinators. If you see medicine-related GAs that may no longer meet the GA criteria, feel free to nominate them for attention/reassessment (please, not too many at once, lest we get overwhelmed). I'll incorporate them into the listings above.
• Maintenance category of the month: Articles with topics of unclear notability (I've listed just the 36 that start with "A"; there are 398 total).

  Note for the curious: 24,211 of the 57,554 articles (42%) tagged as part of WP:MED have some maintenance tag.

Newsletter ideas, comments, and criticisms welcome here.
