Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Clara Oswald, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page War in Afghanistan. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Humanist celebrant

edit

I've no objection to changing the article title, or to some of your other changes, but I know from personal experience (which I can back up with sources if you insist) that the word "officiant" is (still) widely used both in the UK and elsewhere - although you are correct that the word "celebrant" is generally preferred in the UK. The BHA is certainly not doctrinaire about use of the term. Ghmyrtle (talk) 17:20, 12 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi Ghmyrtyle - it's not doctrinaire in regards to what celebrants use in personal advertisements and marketing but it's got its own clear guidelines about preferred language and so never uses 'officiant' in any official materials.Zythe (talk) 17:21, 12 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
I would make the general point that the article should - so far as possible - not be based on what the BHA says about its celebrants, but rather on what independent sources - such as the BBC - say. Obviously that's not completely feasible... but a WP article should not simply set out what the article subjects themselves want to have published. WP:COI applies in this case as much as any other. Ghmyrtle (talk) 18:33, 12 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
Hi Ghmyrtle. I'm a longtime editor of over a decade and I know the rules! I would simply say, however, that given the BHA is a reliable source in and of itself and that BBC article (quoting the BHA's old language) is plainly out of date, that there's not a huge issue at stake in terms of which is a higher source of authority. If you look at any of the dozens of articles published about humanist ceremonies since 2012, not to mention Government mentions in Ireland, England, and Scotland, of which there have been many due to the humanist marriage legalisation debate and the first same-sex marriages in Scotland being humanist, 'celebrant' is overwhelmingly preferred and 'officiant' rarely seen, and typically then only by the sketchier sources.Zythe (talk) 09:43, 13 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
Sure. But entirely removing the words "humanist officiant", as you did in this edit, failed to take account of non-BHA usage, for example in other parts of the world, was too UK-centric a perspective, and could have confused our global readership. Ghmyrtle (talk) 09:55, 13 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
Sure. I think your subsequent edit was probably right (I've yet to see sources that the term is widely preferred in other countries - though I don't doubt that it might be).Zythe (talk)

Angel (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) Editing

Hi Zythe, I am 206.162.161.156 (I was unregistered until today) and I made a few edits on the Angel page, but you removed them without explanations. May I ask what was wrong with them and do you have any suggestions? Best regards, — Preceding unsigned comment added by LyonRicky (talkcontribs) 15:48, 10 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi Ricky. I found your edits were not particularly easy to read and that your rewrite discussed the character from a fictional perspective and not a real world one, as Wikipedia articles should aspire to do, so I pressed 'revert'. I thought I'd have a chance to explain this in the edit summary but then it was done.Zythe (talk) 16:15, 10 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Death Penalty for Atheism in Malaysia

edit

While reports, particularly the IHEU, does indicate that atheism carries the death penalty in Malaysia, that is not the case. Common law is the basis of criminal law in Malaysia, and it is silent in regards to religion. Islamic law is limited by the Constitution to family law and is limited in its scope as well as penalties. While there has been attempts to introduce Islamic Criminal Law (which in some interpretations does carry the death penalty for apostasy from Islam, rather than atheism in general), it has yet to be successful. - Bob K | Talk 17:35, 20 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

The Dark Archer

edit

Regarding "the Dark Archer", I wanted to let you know that Merlyn has been called that in more forms of media than just Smallville (such as in promotional materials for Arrow and a few times in the comics). No one is trying to create a feedback loop. As far as citations go, I'm a bit tied up at the moment but I'll be sure to dig some up soon. I myself have experience with having to deal with anonymous users who constantly add unsourced material without explanation, regardless of reverts.

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Blasphemy law, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Podemos (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Sentientism merge into Sentiocentrism

edit

Hi Zythe,

I'd appreciate your help on the above.

Can we reverse the merging until we've had a chance to discuss this further? Sentientism isn't a neologism - the term has been used for many years, for example in this "Souls and Sentientism" paper by Richard Ryder (one of the originators) in 1991 https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=&httpsredir=1&article=1537&context=bts.

The merge has completely lost all of the sentientism article references (there are many more than for the less-used term sentiocentrism) and the external links. Sentiocentrism and Sentientism are distinct, but related, philosophies so I think there's value in them being separate entries. Sentientism can be seen as an an extension of Humanism to cover all sentient beings. In common with Humanism, Sentientism explicitly commits to the use of evidence and reason when determining sentience and making moral decisions - this was the basis of the term when created by Richard Ryder and Peter Singer in the 1970s. Sentiocentrism is silent on that front so remains open to supernatural rationales.

Happy to chat via [email protected] if easier than here (I'm still learning).

Tagging of Humani (organisation)

edit

I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Humani (organisation). I do not think that Humani (organisation) fits any of the speedy deletion criteria  because "lacks independent notability; small local club." is not a valid speedy deletion criterion, see WP:CSD for valid criteria. If you wish, you may try using the simple proposed deletion (PROD) process, or the full articles for deletion (AfD) process, instead. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 17:20, 23 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Leo Varadkar

edit

Hi there. Per WP:BLPCAT and WP:CAT/R, please don't add religion or sexuality categories to BLPs unless the subject has identified with the particular belief/sexuality, and their notability derives at least in part from that belief or sexuality preference. You recently added the "Irish atheists" category to Leo Varadkar. Neither criteria was met for that addition. Varadkar isn't notable for atheism, and in fact the only time religion is mentioned in the article is a one-liner that says he was raised Catholic but is not religious. His tweet, used as the reference for that addition, doesn't mention atheism at all. Cheers, BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 14:07, 22 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

WIkiProject Doctor Who Newsletter: July 2024

edit
The Space-Time Telegraph
Volume II, Issue I — July 2024
Brought to you by the editors of WikiProject Doctor Who

Okay–ooh. New teeth newsletter. That's weird...

Hello!

Welcome to the first regenerated issue of The Space-Time Telegraph, the official newsletter of WikiProject Doctor Who. We hope it finds you well in your safe travels across the Whoniverse! This newsletter was founded in 2008 and seemed to get lost in the time vortex quite quickly. Thanks to the Doctor dragging Sutekh through the time vortex and bringing life by bringing death to death (yeah... I'm a little confused too), it seems to have regenerated. The writing staff hopes to bring you future editions quarterly.
For this first edition, we have created an updated version of our mailing list that includes any active editors who previously had their usernames included in our participants list. If you do not wish to receive future editions, please remove your name from the mailing list. If you no longer wish to participate in the project, please also remove your name from the participants list.
I think that's enough about the newsletter for now. Let's dive into interesting things happening within the Doctor Who side of Wikipedia. Geronimooooo.....

Big Spike in Productivity

During 2024, the project has scored 8 GAs, 2 FLs and a GT, up from last year's 4 GAs and a GT. Several additional things are in the pipeline, with a bunch of things currently having been nominated with some mix of OlifanofmrTennant, TheDoctorWho, and Pokelego999 having their names attached to them. Allow me to look into the nominees.
  1. Series 14: As of July 18th, every single episode has been sent to GAN, with "Boom", "73 Yards", and "The Devil's Chord" having made it to GA.
  2. 2023 Specials: Early in the year, as part of trying to not lose the WikiCup, Ollie sent "The Star Beast" (still salty about the move) to GAN. It was reviewed by frequent collaborator (fly high) of hers, but failed. She then fixed it up and sent it back where it passed. Later "The Giggle" was expanded and sent to GA, followed shortly by "Wild Blue Yonder". WBY received help by JustAnotherCompanion, a pretty fresh user. This other companion chose not to be listed as co-nom. A page was created for "Destination: Skaro" and quickly got GA status.
  3. The Daleks' Master Plan was also sent to GAN by Rhain. It passed to join Rhain's other First Doctor content, being the fourth season three article to get the green check.
  4. Peter Capaldi: The filmography and newly created awards of Capaldi were both sent to FLC and passed. Capaldi's main page was sent to GA, though due to some minor incompetence on the part of the nominator it was failed.

Proposals to the WikiProject

A recent proposal at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Doctor Who suggested potential improvements and suggestions for the main page of the project, as well as discussions about the project overall. The proposals are as follows:
  1. The Task Forces section should be removed due to inactivity in the Torchwood Task Force, and a lack of significant interest in creating further Task Forces.
  2. The freenode channel no longer works and should be removed due to most discussion taking place on site.
  3. Due to the low quality of Lungbarrow and Jubilee despite being sample articles, these articles should either be removed as samples or improved. Additionally, the "sample device" has a very small application field, and should be removed from the sample articles section.
  4. An updates infobox should be included, similarly to those used by Wikipedia:VGCHAR.
  5. Radio Times's Doctor Who sections should be included in the references section due to their benefits for the project sourcing wise.
  6. The Deletion Discussion archive should be removed, or have work invested in updating it, due to its lack of updates.

If you feel you have any thoughts or suggestions on these matters, or on any other matters pertaining to the project and its main page, feel free to chime in the ongoing discussion.

Discussions of Note

A move discussion is currently underway on whether or not Doctor Who series 14 should be moved to Doctor Who season 1 (2024). The discussion also involves conversation on a few other adjacent articles. If you have an opinion on the matter please read over the discussion or leave comments.

WIkiProject Doctor Who: September 2024 Newsletter

edit
The Space-Time Telegraph
Volume II, Issue II — September 2024
Brought to you by the editors of WikiProject Doctor Who

You like Doctor Who? What's his name then?

Welcome

Hello and welcome to the second issue of the new newsletter! Following the success of the first newsletter we are back to write more stuff.

Articles for deletion
Several articles have been nominated for deletion, such as Time War (Doctor Who), and several articles have been deleted, or merged or redirected, especially those relating to books, due to lack of WP:SIGCOV and WP:NBOOK. Editors can always help either by participating in the deletion discussions (which are noted on the project page), adding to such articles, or bringing attention to other such articles through AfD or the WikiProject talk page, to aid in clean-up.

Notice of Draft Articles
A new Doctor Who spin-off was announced at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con, called The War Between the Land and the Sea, and will feature old and new Whoniverse characters working for UNIT as they battle the Sea Devils. The main space article currently redirects to Whoniverse, but collaboration is currently underway in a draft article. As filming on this miniseries has recently begun, its relocation to the mains space will presumably take place soon per the recommendations laid out at WP:NTV.


There is also a draft article in progress for the upcoming 2024 Christmas special. While this article won't be moved until the episode airs, any new contributions are welcome.

Doctor Who News
A small number of editors have recently raised questions regarding the reliability of Doctor Who News. This website is particularly used for information regarding viewing figures and the Appreciation Index of most episodes as well as some news information. If there is a better source for any information supported by this website, it should be replaced in good faith.


A full consensus on whether or not to remove the information that can't be supported by a different source has not yet been reached. Any editor who has opinions on this matter should contribute to the discussion on the WikiProject talk page.

Continued Progress Towards Good/Featured Content
There has been lots of progress made towards recognized articles in the last two months, related to such diverse categories as series, specials, lists and episodes A sub-page has also been added to the WikiProject, to list any possible goals we can aim towards.

Proposals Regarding the State of Fictional Elements Articles in the WikiProject

Several proposals have been laid out regarding fictional elements in the WikiProject, which includes fictional characters, locations, and more. Due to a concerning quality state regarding the large majority of them, several methods of tackling them in order to improve these articles' quality for the future have been proposed. The primary three proposals are as follows:
1. A priority list should be made to determine what articles are most pressing and in need of improvement in the WikiProject overall. Focus would be put onto important subjects and articles in a state of dubious notability that would make them viable for deletion processes such as AfD.
2. A group of articles is selected for improvement, which are ones deemed most relevant to the WikiProject for the future. Any lesser important subjects can be sidelined and worked on as editors see fit.
3. A long term goal is made to improve all elements. This will come at the caveat of taking significantly longer and requiring more heavy participation than the above two proposals, but would guarantee a slow and steady way to solve the issue.
If any editors are interested in chiming into the conversation and sharing their piece on how this should be handled, or if any editors wish to help with this proposal and improve fictional elements articles, then feel free to share thoughts at the discussion's section on the article's talk page.

Invitation to participate in a research

edit

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
