Soft systems methodology
Hi, there is a system in all Wikipedia article which I just restored. Please don't try to create an own standard in this one article. -- Mdd (talk) 00:39, 20 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I guess with your edit you were refering to this section. This is only a proposed Wikipedia policy/guideline, and I thing I definetely don't share. A further reading section should mention the most important books in the field. This is a rule which is applied to most articles related to systems science (I wikified). And there must be over a 1000 articles. -- Mdd (talk) 00:44, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

So there is a common (albeit not binding) guideline which you personally choose to ignore in the specific category of articles you contribute to? No disrespect meant here, but doesn't that make you the one who tries to create an own standard? Anyway, I agree with Logicalgregory that a duplicated mention of books or articles should be avoided.

 * I guess you got a point about me setting a standard. But it is not so much that I "am trying to create an own standard". I did set that standard by wikifying over 2000+ articles in the field of systems science.


 * But I am not even sure that it is my standard. I removed the text "As the above References and:-" (here), and I can't recall seeing this in any other article.


 * Now in general I do agree that "duplicated mention of books or articles should be avoided". But I think an exception should be for the groundbreaking books in the field. I have no problem that they are mentioned twince... but I do have a problem that they are not mentioned once in the further reading section... Now we are only talking about three books here..!? I think there are a lot of bigger issues to be dealt with. -- Mdd (talk) 12:52, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

To me the header "Further reading" indicates: here are listed a number of books worth mentioning besides the ones already referenced in the article itself (hence the term further). I am pretty sure that is the whole reason of the guideline. I think you should at least set out to discuss your own standard in one of the general wikipedia fora. After all, it is quite something to knowingly deviate from one of the common guidelines. Calmos (talk) 14:15, 20 January 2011 (UTC)


 * There is already a (long) discussion going on about "Allowing duplication of works" on the Wikipedia talk:Further reading. This is really one of my less concerns. -- Mdd (talk) 15:11, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

What I gather from that particular discussion is that there is a reasonably solid consensus for non-duplication, meaning that it is highly questionable for you to undo a change that is in line with this very consensus. Calmos (talk) 17:31, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Calmos. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Calmos~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 22:46, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
