Your edit to Diabetes mellitus

[edit]

I removed your edit from this page because the links you provided are badly formed. Can you correct the links and add the information back? Thanks! --Mdwyer 03:24, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A study by Lee et al. published in 2006 indicated a strong link between blood serum levels of Persistent Organic Pollutants and diabetes.[1]

Aspartame

[edit]

I reverted your additions to aspartame. Those are medical news reports of a poster presentation that linked diet soda consumption to renal decline. The study did not distinguish those containing aspartame from those containing sucralose. I don't want to discourage you, but that leap from a preliminary study to one ingredient is beyond the scope of verifiability.Novangelis (talk) 20:04, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just reverted same additions to Aspartame controversy. It would be better to wait until it is published in a peer-reviewed source before adding it in to any article (the most likely article where it would be relevant is diet sodas.Yobol (talk) 20:09, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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

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

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Laura Branigan was born 1952

[edit]

What you are assuming is one thing I have known for years. I even had had it protected when Laura's wiki was perfect. Then early 2016 something happened, the protection was deleted and Laura's early days was changed back to 1957 and Brewster. I have been doing a research of Laura Branigan since spring 2014 and it ended yesterday, July 2. Laura's former neighbours in Armonk and old classmates from high school has helped very much in details so they are very happy to see the truth of their "Laurie", as she called herself from childhood until 1970, when she moved to New York. So their feedback has been very important. So I knew I was right about Laura's wiki. So when my wiki was deleted I decided to keep out from wiki. Sadly, when I was accused for lying and fabricating my research of one contributor (Devilmanozzy) I was back again in the war. He managed to erase all my sources, references, etc. I tried to convince him, but no. So then I stopped and walked out again. My feedbackers has all read it, and they are laughing. They also knows the true. Laura's biography and timeline was setup and written to suit a birth of 1957. But Brewster is a mystery. Why Brewster? Branigan's never lived in Brewster, they moved from Nassau County, Long Island to Armonk in Feb 1952. I have the purchase documents, which of course was declared as fabricated in photoshop. So all was so clear I was a liar and he was the best. Now when I say your input I felt I had to contact you. If you will change Laura back to 1952 and Mount Kisco I will support you. If I do anything it will be undone same second I press save. If you say yes to this I will provide you with sources and references as much as I can. Brand new since yesterday or old which has been deleted as "falses". How can you photoshop old digitized papers from the web? I have asked Devilmanozzy, but no answers. It is Laura's 64th birthday today (3/7), and she deserves a better wiki than it is. Thanks and greetings from Sweden--Born53 swe (talk) 08:58, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

After reading the latest comments of Laura's edit history, I am not interested any longer and prefer to stay outside. Thank you!--Born53 swe (talk) 09:04, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Stephen Walsh (professor)

[edit]

Hello Tetsuo,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Stephen Walsh (professor) for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Link to French Wikipedia article in Émile Zola article

[edit]

Hello, Tetsuo. You wrote the following:

Copy of discussion originally at User talk:Mathglot.

You reverted my attempt to fix a broken link to French Wikipedia in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89mile_Zola#Death I have not done a foreign language link in like ten years, but I had the link in that article working. Now, at least on my computer, the link appears in red, and when I hover over it, it says Page Does Not Exist. I don't believe that is how foreign language links are supposed to appear. Yes, if you click the "fr", maybe it will go to the French article. But I don't think the person's name (Louis Grégori) is supposed to appear as a broken link. I don't know how to fix it other than what I had done, which did work. This isn't really something I particularly care about or wish to learn, but maybe you would like to investigate how links to foreign language Wikipedia articles should appear. I really doubt they should appear as broken links. It is not intuitive that the reader should click an "fr" after the broken link. No need to respond to me. As I said, it's not a big deal to me. But you might wish to look into how the link should appear.Tetsuo (talk) 06:04, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved the discussion here, so you'll see my response, and be able to refer to it later if you wish to; it will eventually get archived on my Talk page and will become hard for you to locate. With respect to your comment, you are referring to two edits of yours at Émile Zola:

  1. 00:56, 7 September 2022 in section § Death, with your edit summary of: "changed {{ill|Louis Grégori|fr}} to fr:Louis Grégori (to correct invalid link)"
  2. 01:03, 7 September 2022, in the same section, with edit summary: "change link to Louis Grégori so "fr" doesn't appear"

Both of these edits were errors, so I reverted them and I'd like to explain why. I see that you have been here for many years, but have relatively few edits, so maybe you're not familiar with the Interlanguage link template, or recommended procedures for linking articles on other language wikipedias.

In your first edit, you removed a valid interlanguage link, replacing it with a direct link to French Wikipedia. Best practices call for using template {{interlanguage link}} (abbreviation: {{ill}}) to link to foreign wikipedias, and will create a red link to the English title for the article that does not exist yet here. First of all, there's nothing wrong with a WP:RED LINK; they are not "broken links", they are a good thing, and encourage users to click them and create new articles. Secondly, the bracketed, blue language links provide a link to another language (like French) or to multiple languages, where bilingual readers can find more information, and where bilingual editors can translate the article into English if they wish. (I've done this many dozens of times.) I reverted this edit, to restore the red link to the English title Louis Grégori.

In your second edit, you removed the ':fr' language prefix from the direct French link you created in the first edit, leaving a blue link which looks like it will go to an article on English Wikipedia, like this: Louis Grégori. Only, when you click it, it doesn't go to an English article at all, violating the principle of least astonishment (see also, Wikipedia:Writing better articles#Principle of least astonishment). So, I reverted that, too.

Before you got there, the code in that section was this: {{ill|Louis Grégori|fr}}, which generates this link: Louis Grégori [fr], and that is the way it should be in the article, and explains why I reverted your two edits.

Going forward, please do not remove or replace {{ill}} templates in articles, and please do not unlink red links in order to "fix" them. Both red links and interlanguage links are beneficial to the encyclopedia. Thanks, and I hope this explanation has been helpful to you. Mathglot (talk) 07:27, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is another version of this explanation at this guideline page. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:54, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. Thanks for taking the time to explain this and sorry for causing you unnecessary work. I was under the impression that red links are always to be avoided. As a new or infrequent Wikipedia reader, I would find it extremely confusing and unintuitive that I should have to click the "fr" to reach the link, but if that's the way Wikipedia editors feel it should be, so be it. Everything gets automatically translated these days, so perhaps Wikipedia should rethink the treatment of foreign links, or a bot should just put a translation of the linked article in the English language Wikipedia. Tetsuo (talk) 17:11, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Np. As far as "that's the way Wikipedia editors feel it should be", there are very few "rules" here that are cast in concrete; the rules change when Wikipedia editors are in agreement that they should change. You are welcome to make suggestions on how to improve Wikipedia, including procedures and templates. For the confusing "fr" link, you can add comments at Template talk:Interlanguage link. Some editors agree with you about red links; see this discussion which took place in May. You could add your views there, if you like, or start another discussion about it.
As far as automatically translating foreign articles, that has been discussed, too, more than once. I don't have a link handy for you, but you could start at WP:Translation and see if there's anything there about it, or try an Advanced search, searching the "Wikipedia" namespace. Cheers, Mathglot (talk) 18:57, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore wikipedia pages start with capitals in any case. Biofase flame| stalk  12:15, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
