Duplicate images uploaded
Thanks for uploading Image:Chandler Burr in 2005.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Picture 039- at 706k.jpg. The copy called Image:Picture 039- at 706k.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy.

Your edit to Sexual Orientation
Chandlerburr, I have removed most of what you recently added to Sexual Orientation because it looked like a blatant attempt to bias the article. Using your own book as a source is problematic and provocative. Some of the material you added seems to me useful; I have placed it in a different part of the article. I wish you could have used it in a more thoughtful way. Skoojal (talk) 07:45, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Skoojal, I'm not an expert at editing on Wikipedia, and there is perhaps a way to contact you directly, but if there is, I can't figure it out. My own email is chandlerburr@gmail.com. Obviously I am happy to discuss the merits and demerits of content on Wikipedia, but my additions to the Sexual Orientation entry are not at all an "attempt to bias the article" any more or less than your edits are. They are, rather, an attempt to add important data that is missing. My book uses data from other sources; I'm happy to quote those sources instead of my book if that is better. To quote you to you, I wish you could have reacted in a more thoughtful way. I am not going to undo your changes at the moment; I'm going to ask you to write me and explain your objections.

 * My email address is a.quadrant@yahoo.com. By all means contact me if you like, but I think any discussions about the content of the Sexual Orientation article should be had here, on Wikipedia, in public. Skoojal (talk) 22:36, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Non-objective


The article Non-objective has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * Dictionary definition, WP:NOTDICDEF applies. I won't redirect to Abstract art because the title doesn't even specifically refer to art.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Problematic use of the word "homely" in this article.
In this article, this sentence appears: "In mainland Chinese culture, villages have homely connotations." The problem is that "homely" means completely different things in North American English and in British English. (This is a problem with this word's use that exists throughout Wikipedia.) Definition of homely (adjective). 1. NORTH AMERICAN (used almost exclusively about a person) Unattractive in appearance, plain-featured, unlovely, ugly. (Opposite: attractive). 2.BRITISH (used almost exclusively about places or surroundings) Simple but cozy and comfortable, as in one's own home, nicely familiar, welcoming and home-like. Therefore to North Americans, "villages have homely connotations" is non-sensical; the meaning might be interpreted "villages connote plain, ugly people [living there]", which is not at all the intended meaning. Suggest clarifying the wording with "villages suggest home, familiarity, and comfort." Chandlerburr (talk) 04:40, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Factually incorrect datum in Wiki on "8kun"
In the wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8chan there is the following statement: "... '-chan' can be interpreted as the one generally used for young children, especially females, while '-kun' suffix is used for younger males in general..." The words "especially females" are factually incorrect. The suffix "-chan" is used equally for boys and girls. There is no gender associated with it at all. (By contrast, "kun" is used almost exclusively for boys.) The words "especially females" should be deleted. Chandlerburr (talk) 05:49, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
