Edwin Hawkins at Deaths in 2018
You're good at sniffing out false deaths. Please take an urgent look at the Deaths entry and the so-called source ("Joy105") which is reporting it - the ONLY source which is reporting it. They are quoting the family Twitter feed, but only from January 11th when asking for prayers during his fight against illness. They appear to have no other basis than assumption for reporting his actual passing. Other Google searches in the same vein positively undermine this report. His article has no solid sources at all for the death claim. Thanks. Ref (chew) (do) 21:24, 15 January 2018 (UTC)


 * AP has now circulated report from his publicist., —  Wylie  pedia  21:49, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks, just seen it. Didn't want to get caught out again. Thank you. Ref (chew) (do) 21:50, 15 January 2018 (UTC)


 * You're welcome. Changed out the source at his page, too. —  Wylie pedia  22:07, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Hey! I saw that you edited the article Black Mirror and thought maybe you would be interested in this new user category I created?- 🐦Do☭torWho42 ( ⭐ ) 01:29, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

Mickey Jones cleanup
hi, i went onto the article to add references in, and saw you continued editing after me with an edit history of "Previous edit obliterated the cleanup." what do you mean by that? i believe i added constructive edits to the page as there were very few references and don't understand the edit history attitude. please explain. thanks. CanoeUnlined (talk) 02:21, 8 February 2018 (UTC)


 * The edit history there speaks for itself. —  Wylie pedia  02:26, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * no it doesn't? i didn't change any of the actual content in the page, which is what this editor is doing to the edit history. i removed the overarching "Biography" header due to redundancy (this is wikipedia, after all), made each of the subheaders actual headers, and added references. i left all the content on the page untouched as i saw that this editor was adjusting it. what was the fault, then? CanoeUnlined (talk) 02:29, 8 February 2018 (UTC)


 * editing my comment to say that i just noticed that you are "the editor" i referred to. your signature got me confused. my apologies... but i'm still uncertain as to how my edits created issue on the page. CanoeUnlined (talk) 02:31, 8 February 2018 (UTC)


 * The difference, namely reverting my "From 2011 to 2014, he had a recurring role...". It's all good, I know that adding full cites take a lot of time, and you most likely started around the time that I did the minor cleanup. —  Wylie pedia  02:44, 8 February 2018 (UTC)


 * ah, i see. my apologies. you're right that i was likely already working on the citations as you were going through your edits. thanks for clearing this up, and thanks for improving the page. hope my contributions did help after all. CanoeUnlined (talk) 02:49, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Peace, brother!
I thought I was a soulless editing machine, but that edit summary referring to a wife's arms as a "specific location" takes the cold and clinical cake. Well played.

As for morning, I think it makes sense to set the scene. Every day has its phases. We note the exact minute Kennedy was shot and it doesn't seem to bother anyone. But yeah, leaving that out and the arms in seems a fair compromise. War over? InedibleHulk (talk) 01:06, February 10, 2018 (UTC)


 * Not many people will remember where they were at the exact moment MacGregor died, except maybe Mrs. M. —  Wylie pedia  01:14, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Exactly. So it's a good idea to remind them. Sort of the whole purpose of an encyclopedia, in my eye. InedibleHulk (talk) 01:25, February 10, 2018 (UTC)


 * MacGregor's "when" is sufficiently covered by his DOD, in my opinion. If you think this warrants others' opinions, take it up on his talkpage. I have other things to do with my time. —  Wylie pedia  01:43, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I'll take that as an armistice. InedibleHulk (talk) 02:07, February 10, 2018 (UTC)


 * Yes, this convo also died in someone's arms. —  Wylie pedia  02:10, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
Can you please explain your removals of the episode summaries?

The timing of this seems suspicious as the season finale is tonight. We've worked hard over the past few years to keep this page up to date.

Please explain in detail your reasoning. ckliffames1 (talk) 23:59, 16 February 2018 (UTC)


 * As stated, every Season 3 episode summary was copypasted verbatim from press releases. —  Wylie pedia  00:03, 17 February 2018 (UTC)


 * The summaries were taken from Fouton Criric and cited as such until the episode aired. Public domain should apply. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ckliffames1 (talk • contribs) 00:11, 17 February 2018 (UTC)


 * But it doesn't. Furthermore, this discussion belongs at the episode list page. —  Wylie pedia  00:19, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Category:Basketball coaches from State Foo
Hi - I noticed that you added a number of schools and/or professional team coach categories to this (example, adding "Basketball coaches from Tennessee" to "Vanderbilt Commodores men’s basketball coaches"). People who coached at schools or pro teams in these states are not valid subcategories of these categories. You have a mix of long-time coaches and people who move through on their way to another job in another state, so you just can’t assume they will be from that state. For example, Vanderbilt’s current head coach is Bryce Drew, who is from Indiana. Just wwanted to let you know why I removed these. Thanks. Rikster2 (talk) 17:58, 17 February 2018 (UTC)


 * I think at some point I saw state teams listed in the coaches category somewhere, so I followed suit with the new Tennessee cat. Or just thought it belonged. Either way, I guess it didn't make it "correct". —  Wylie pedia  19:38, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Las Vegas Aces category
Player categories aren’t applied until the player appears in a regular season game for the franchise under that name. This can’t happen until the WNBA season starts. Rikster2 (talk) 00:30, 15 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Then infoboxes need changing as well... —  Wylie pedia  @ 00:34, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Béla Magyari
Your recent edit at Deaths in April 2018 changed Hungarian Air Force to Hungarian 'air force'. However, Hungarian Air Force has its own article and perhaps that styling should be reflected in the Deaths notice. Certainly from my point of view, the Royal Air Force is usually rendered thus and looks awkward without the capitals... Just a thought, and not anything to lose sleep over. Regards,

Derek R Bullamore (talk) 23:44, 23 April 2018 (UTC)


 * And you came here, instead of posting at Talk:Deaths in 2018? —  Wylie pedia  @ 00:06, 24 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Yes I did, because I felt it was not a big deal - not really worthy of a trans-global debate. You know, just a editor to editor type thing.  Feel free to involve the world if you think this really merits a wider audience.  Please understand, I am not trying to debase your efforts here. “Life is very short, and there's no time, For fussing and fighting, my friend” as one of those old time pop groups once opined.  Best wishes,


 * Derek R Bullamore (talk)


 * Alright, case in point: Fredrik Bull-Hansen at DIMarch 2018 was a Norwegian Army general. Doesn't mean it should be listed as such on the DI page, in caps. And I'm not the one "involving the world". —  Wylie pedia  @ 00:34, 24 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Not quite the same is it. Bull-Hansen's listing at DIMarch does not decapitalise (I know that's not a word, but you get my gist) 'Norwegian Army'. My posting here was specifically intended not to "involve the world". It was merely to point out the perceived anomaly over the usage, or otherwise, of capital lettering for the Hungarian Air Force.  Anyhow, it is sleep time here in my part of the cosmos, and I may wake up tomorrow thinking why I am spending time on this issue.  Night night.


 * Derek R Bullamore (talk) 01:10, 24 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Military listings are very much the same, or should be, where a basic generic listing is concerned. Got a good mind to change the topic entry to "Hungarian military general", then link the HAF...if I gave a toss. —  Wylie pedia  @ 08:09, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Biographies vs Biographies of Living people on talk pages
Hi CAWylie, regarding this recent edit I just wanted to point out that |blp=yes should only be reserved for subjects that are living. As the subject of the article in question has passed away keeping |blp=yes for this article is not accurate. The article will still be included in WP:WikiProject Biographies just not any longer in WP:WikiProject Biographies of living persons. Thank you for your understanding Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 13:14, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Please see the WikiProject Biography template for the |blpo parameter. Thank you for understanding. —  Wylie pedia  @ 17:33, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Women in Red June Editathons

Invitation to participate in study
Hello,

I am E. Whittaker, an intern at Wikimedia with the Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. A full write-up of the study can be found here: m:Research:Civil_Behavior_Interviews. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.

Thank you Ewitch51 (talk) 19:34, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

File:Lorrie Collins.jpg
Hi CAWylie. Wikipedia does generally allow non-free images of deceased individuals to be used for primary identification purposes, but generally this is only when it's reasonable to expect that a freely licensed equivalent can neither be found nor created to serve the same encyclopedic purpose. When someone just dies, there's often a rush to add a non-free image to their Wikipedia article because in many cases people just automatically assume the non-free image is going to be considered OK. However, such images sometimes do end up being deleted either because someone is able to find a free equivalent or because a consensus is established not much of an effort was made to find such a free equivalent.

So, I'm just curious as to what steps you might have taken to find such an free image yourself. Just a quick Google image search shows that Collins had a pretty long career and there are lots of images of her posted online. Did you check to see if any of these might no longer be protected by copyright (PD-URAA, PD-US-no notice) or might not have had their copyright renewed (PD-US-not renewed)? I'm not saying that a non-free absolutely cannot be used here; only trying to figure out how much of an effort was made to find a free equivalent. Just for reference, the default is not really to use a non-free until someone else finds a free equivalent; it's kind of expected that the uploader of the file is going to make a reasonable effort in finding a free equivalent before uploading a non-free. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:06, 6 August 2018 (UTC)


 * I used FiST, which immediately brought the Flickr source. —  Wylie pedia  @ 01:12, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
 * OK, but you uploaded the file as non-free. This seems to show the file as being released under a WP:ICT/FL license Wikipedia and Commons both accept (see c:COM:CC), so not sure why you uploaded it as non-free content. Do you suspect this might be a case of Fickr washing? -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:37, 6 August 2018 (UTC)


 * All I know is that I edit on a device that has issues with Commons-loading, so I uploaded it the normal way. —  Wylie pedia  @ 02:03, 6 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Marchjuly is quite correct; this should have been uploaded as a free image. It has an acceptable license, and there are no evident signs of flickrwashing -- it's a 2006 upload, contemporaneous to the claimed date it was taken, and tineye turns up no similar images suggesting a different origin. I recommend revising the file page and flagging it for transfer to Commons == hopefully before a bot reduces the file size. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006.   (talk) 19:44, 6 August 2018 (UTC)


 * I tried using the Move-to-commons assistant and got several flags, one being "no verifiable good license". As stated above, editing for images on this (my only) device usually sucks. So without help, I would rather flag it for deletion, than go through this hassle. I usually stay away from bio pics anyway. —  Wylie  pedia  @ 23:43, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Deleting and then reuploading directly to Commons is one possibility, but there's maybe one thing which might also work. Change the non-free use rationale to Information and then change the copyright license to CC-by-2.0; add Copy to Wikimedia Commons; finally, ask to restore the older larger version deleted by  because the file does not need to be licensed as non-free content. Once the file has been moved to Commons (or if you re-upload a new version to Commons), you might also want to add c:Template:Flickrreview and c:Template:Personality rights to the Commons' file's page. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:30, 7 August 2018 (UTC)


 * It's now on Commons and I tagged this one for deletion. —  Wylie  pedia  @ 01:27, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
 * OK. Thanks for doing that. The local file will shadow the Commons file until it's deleted, but you can now pretty much use the file on any page you like as long as doing so doesn't cause any non-licensing related problems. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:52, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I've uploaded the original size Flickr image and approved the Flickr review. Ron h jones (Talk) 14:35, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Restoring pages
Please don't "restore" pages in this manner as it loses all attribution. They need to be moved back (by an administrator) This is the original page that retains attribution that needs to be restored by an administrator. I realize you're trying to be helpful but in the case of mass vandalism like this, it really needs to be dealt with by a ton of page moves.Praxidicae (talk) 18:01, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
