File rename request
Hi Emk9! I noticed that you proposed that File:Geraldine Hoff Doyle or Naomi Parker Fraley.jpg be renamed to File:Naomi Parker Fraley.jpg; however, a file under that name already exists. What name would you like it to be renamed as? Cheers, Daylen (talk) 20:58, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * How about File:Naomi Parker Fraley 1942.jpg 21:17, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Ri Gun Mo/Ri Kun-mo
While he doesn't have a biography at NKLeadershipwatch,I note a Google Books hit on "North Korea:The Politics of Regime Survival" (ISBN 1317463765) whose 2015 edition includes an essay "Emergence of the Second Republic:The Kim Regime Adapts to the Challenges of Modernity" by Alexandre Y. Mansourov in which Ri Gun Mo is referred to as deceased.Much of the book actually dates to 2005 or so.He could have been dead for quite a while.12.144.5.2 (talk) 17:24, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Moved to article talk page Emk9 (talk) 17:35, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello,

The book about North Korea is from 2005, but Mansourov's essay may be even from 2014. So we have two options, assuming the 2011 source which reports him being still alive is reliable:


 * The essay is from 2005 and Mansurov only presumed Li's death, maybe because he resigned in 19898 due to "bad health". In that case we should mantain Ri is still alive and readd him to the list.


 * The essay is from 2014 and Mansourov had good inside sources from North Korea. Maybe he had fallen out of grace and only got short mentions in local newspapers. That means he would have died either in 2012 or 2013, which would be a good accuracy. If that's the case we should add "2012 or 2013" as Ri's Date of Death and the question will be closed forever.

This is not valid if the 2011 source does not tell the truth, obviously. The quickest way to solve the problem is contactin Mansourov, who is still alive and active, and ask him about Ri. Do you agree?--Folengo (talk) 18:40, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure on the policy on contacting authors, but it seems it would be helpful in this situation Emk9 (talk) 18:49, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

World War 1 Solders 2018
But there's got to be somebody else to be alive! Anybody! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.242.200.46 (talk) 02:10, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Anybody still living would have been under 18 during the war. The war ended in 1918, 100 years ago. The oldest verified living person was born in 1901, so they would have been 17 when the war ended. The oldest living man is only 112, so he would have been 13 when the war ended, so it's unlikely any men who served are still living. It's possible that somebody is out there, but countries that tracked veterans for pension and benefit reasons have confirmed that nobody is still living.

List of Major League Baseball players to hit for the cycle
Hi - can you please clarify the photo removals from List of Major League Baseball players to hit for the cycle? I read your comment in the page history, but it's not clear, as the photos in question, along with many other, run down the right-hand side of the page, not "below the table". Thanks Dmoore5556 (talk) 19:41, 6 April 2019 (UTC)


 * The photos extended further down the page than the table leaving a large blank space in the article, which I think is generally avoided. I can't find a specific guideline, but I'm pretty sure I've seen images removed to fit the table size before.


 * I'm seeing exactly the opposite - the text runs down the page much further than the images. Which is why myself and others had added a bunch of images a year or so ago. Are you looking at the page in normal/default size, and using what browser ? I use MacOS with the text either at default or +1 size larger than the default, and I see more (longer) text than images for both, as the current photos end around cycle 210. Dmoore5556 (talk) 22:20, 6 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Well that's a large difference. I see 13.5 images go past the end of the table. I'm using chrome and default zone. Here's some screenshots https://imgur.com/a/jZZ5oNS (these are for the old article, currently I only see 2.5 go past the end of the table) Emk9 (talk) 23:06, 6 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Looking in Edge, a major difference is that "American League" take 2 lines in Edge instead of the one line it takes in Chrome on my screen, which makes the list much longer. I'll check on another computer using Chrome and Firefox to see if it's consistent. Update: Seeing the same thing as my screenshots in Chrome and Firefox on a much larger screen.


 * Ah, that info helps, thanks. If I make the text in Safari (MacOS) quite small, I can get the table rows to display on a single line each, and then I do see the images run past the end of the table. I'm not sure if there's a "right" answer here... I do appreciate the clarifications, thanks. Dmoore5556 (talk) 03:12, 7 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Yeah I have no idea which way it should go. I'd lean toward fewer images especially since on mobile it shows all the images before the table. Emk9 (talk) 03:18, 7 April 2019 (UTC)


 * That's fair, as it is now makes sense, for the reason you note. If I see some way in the future to adjust the table (wide tables are always a challenge) then it might be worth re-visiting. Thanks. Dmoore5556 (talk) 03:23, 7 April 2019 (UTC)


 * I tried to remove images that weren't particularly notable. I tried to leave hall of fame players, though I removed Joe Torre as he was elected as a manager. For example, Herman Long hit the first cycle for the Braves, but other teams didn't have images for the first player to hit a cycle for them so I removed Long (other than Fred Walker, since the caption made it seem like Brooklyn didn't have a cycle until the 40's, though looking closer that's not true and I think his image should be removed as well). The first two I picked were Willie McGee and Eric Davis, since as far as I can tell, they were just "normal" cycles. I also tried to leave at least one per decade if there was already an image for that decade, otherwise I would have removed the image of Iván DeJesús.


 * Given how the page appears for me (see above comments) I see no justification for removing photos. That's independent of any criteria used, it's simply about how the page looks. I'd like to better understand what you are seeing, that led you to make the change (as noted above). Dmoore5556 (talk) 22:20, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Question
Hi. You said in your edit summary "cause of death isn't used on these pages". I'm not contradicting you but I don't see any evidence for this statement. Has it actually ever been discussed within Wikiproject Years? Deb (talk) 17:15, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't know if it's ever been clearly stated or decided, but over the three years that I've edited the year pages I've never seen a cause of death listed and it doesn't seem particularly necessary Emk9 (talk) 19:22, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
 * It just seems to me like it helps avoid newsworthy deaths being recorded as "Events". Deb (talk) 22:06, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Scanning through last year and this year, I don't see any individual deaths in the event section, so that doesn't seem like a huge issue. I don't think Garcia's death would qualify for the event section anyway. Emk9 (talk) 22:19, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
 * It was headline news in the UK though. I'm not dying in a ditch over this, incidentally, I'm just sharing my views and getting your feedback.Deb (talk) 22:26, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
 * From what I understand of page consensus, deaths should make international news to appear in the deaths section, except for heads of state/government who are automatically listed. So Garcia's death making international news doesn't seem to be a high enough bar to be mentioned in the event section. For example, I'm pretty sure the death of George H W Bush was world news as well but he is only listed under the Death section in 2018. I'm not sure what the bar is for a death to be listed as an event, but it seems to me that Garcia doesn't reach that level. Emk9 (talk) 22:40, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
 * It's the nature of Garcia's death, I think, that has caused it to make the news, not the fact that he died. Not so much in Year articles, but certainly in Date articles, I see things like "X is killed in a car crash on the M4", "Y is shot by police", and so on, in the Events sections. Deb (talk) 22:44, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Right, but the Year articles haven't really done this sort of thing. I just don't think Garcia's death needs to be specified as a suicide since I don't think it's likely he will be listed in the Event section anyway. Looking at List of heads of state and government who committed suicide, from 2000 on, only Dipendra of Nepal is mentioned in the Event section, as he murdered 9 people including his father, the reigning king. Mahmoud Zuabi wasn't even listed in the Death section until I added him. So to me, Garcia's death doesn't seem likely to be listed as an Event anyway. Emk9 (talk) 23:20, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that useful analysis. Hope to work with you again. Deb (talk) 07:38, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
 * You're welcome! Thanks for helping me formalize my thoughts on this subject as well. Emk9 (talk) 16:21, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

Fred Keller's beginning of term.
In general, a Senator or member of the U.S. House begins their term when elected and qualified. Qualification would prohibit a member the House from becoming a Senator until she/he resigns from the House (because you can't serve in both). An oath of office, however, has no legal effect on when the term starts. I hope that clarifies the issue at United States congressional delegations from Pennsylvania‎‎. If so, I'll leave it to you to edit that article to clarify. Thanks! —GoldRingChip 19:24, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks. I knew that the other representatives had their swearing in date listed, so I thought it would apply to special elections too. Emk9 (talk) 20:37, 23 May 2019 (UTC)


 * On the ordinal Congress articles, such as 115th United States Congress, there is a "Change of Membership" section which includes a table with the column, "Date of successor's formal installation." That might be what you're referencing.   In some 18th/19th century Congresses, the source information is unclear about when the person was elected and when they "took office."  So some Wikipedia articles will cite both dates for clarity. —GoldRingChip 11:35, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

June 2019
Your recent editing history at Marquess of Bristol shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

 * Yeah, I saw it appear on Deaths in 2019 and figured it would be picked up quickly so I made various edits to articles to reflect it. But after seeing nothing on Twitter, AP News, Reuters, or a "within the last hour" Google search over 2 hours and seeing that Deaths in 2019 had removed it, I reverted all the edits about his death that I could find.

Speedy deletion nomination of Town of Salem


A tag has been placed on Town of Salem requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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 "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 deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Lists of presidents etc.
Hi Emk9, what you can tell me about this IP editor, currently in the range 2405:205:1000::/44, who is making all the disruptive edits in "list of presidents" articles etc.? Do you think it's the same person who has vandalized your talk page? I only noticed them today, but it looks like the disruption has been going on a long time, more than a year. I'm planning to make an ANI report to get the range blocked, so just gathering info. Do you know if they've been reported before? I can see some blocks on some of the individual IPs, but probably it needs a bigger effort to put a stop to it. Thanks... --IamNotU (talk) 19:33, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * They are a long-term vandal, I've been watching them for about a year. They are definitely the person who has vandalized my talkpage. has more experience with them. Not sure if they have older accounts but User:U + 1F4AD + 7 sockpuppets and 5 suspected sockpuppets (some of which are only suspected because they were not checked with checkuser) are accounts they have used. They also use a bunch of IP ranges, I've identified these ones, but there may be more. 117.234.158.213/16 (blocked for another week), 2405:205:138A:EE62:0:0:144B:F0AD/36, 157.47.205.51/16, 2409:4052:2E94:94E6:0:0:3FC9:DE06/36, 2409:4052:989:E058:0:0:20E3:30B1/36, 157.37.210.240/16, 223.189.162.181/16. These ranges are large which is why I haven't pursued rangeblocks or gone to ANI, though I have gotten individual IPs blocked during periods of high vandalism. Emk9 (talk) 19:53, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I do have experience with that long-term vandal. It appears they often target the articles in which I am interested. Among their most recent IPs are 2405:205:1006:CFA8:0:0:259E:88B0 and 2405:205:100C:72ED:0:0:1648:40B0. No doubt, there are IPs used by them which I didn't notice so far. --Sundostund (talk) 19:59, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * For clarity, both those IPs are in the range 2405:205:138A:EE62:0:0:144B:F0AD/36. Emk9 (talk) 20:05, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok good, that's helpful, thanks... I'll start a WP:SPI page then. The 2405:205:* ones seem to be a series of /44 ranges (currently 2405:205:1000 to 2405:205:100F), so that's easier to justify blocking than a whole /36. I'll look into the ‎2409:4052:* and IPV4 ones too. --IamNotU (talk) 20:26, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Territorial governors
As a compromise - what if the territorial governors were included but not in the "official" count? Kingofthedead (talk) 08:53, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * That seems like a good compromise since then the historical list doesn't need tons of updates. Emk9 (talk) 18:40, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Also I noticed you removed D.C. from the living former governors article, I included it because it's listed at List of current United States governors as a governor-equivalent. Kingofthedead (talk) 20:41, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not entirely sure what to do with D.C. since the Mayor is the chief executive, but is officially called a mayor. The National Governors Association does not include D.C., for example. Also on US citizenship tests, D.C. residences when asked who their governor is are supposed to say that they don't have one. So based on these, I don't really think D.C. mayors should be included on pages about "governors." If the page name was changed, I think they should be included though, but I think a renaming would need more discussion. Emk9 (talk) 21:11, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

President Giorgio Napolitano
He was militant in the COMMUNIST PARTY, not in Italian Resistance or something directly linked to it. Oxify (talk) 23:49, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * The Italian Resistance is the term for all the resistance groups operating in Italy during the war, not a specific group. The page for the Italian Communist Party specifically mentions its role in the resistance movement. Emk9 (talk) 23:54, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Sure, but the page refers to war veterans and he has exclusively a political role in communist party. Just to clarify, I think too he can remain in the list. Oxify (talk) 18:23, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

 * That's there because the source has no place of death. We only specify nationality if there is no place of death (like Carson), if they died in a different country (like Mohammed Yaseen Mohammed), or have multiple nationalities (like Danil Khalimov)
 * I just noticed that someone has already included Lance Carson in the article, but they added him to 14 September, please could you remove that addition as he only died two days ago. Also this link says Carson died in Mitchell. 86.2.222.181 (talk) 20:27, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

List of covid deaths

David Prowse
There are a couple of editors who are trying to deny that David Prowse died of Covid, by removing all sources that state the contrary and replacing them with others that use the euphemism "short illness", rolling back any edit that tries to restore the old version and intimidating others into not editing the page. Could you join the discussion on the talk page there? --Tognella99 (talk) 00:24, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Marquessate
Tomorrow the St. Lucia Star is running a story on the 11th Marquess of Annaville, will this satisfy your query? Stluciainformation (talk) 04:46, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * That will depend on the article, but it would have to be extremely convincing regarding the existence of a Marquessate that as of now has 0 sources for its existence, including not being included in Debrett's The Peerage (ex. ) or the London Gazette . Emk9 (talk) 05:03, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

It is in the 1847 edition. Please wait until tomorrow to make any changes. Stluciainformation (talk) 05:13, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

I will be happy to provide that coverage, as I said you are making inaccurate edits. I would suggest converting Debrett’s into PDF format for finding the text. Stluciainformation (talk) 05:14, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * You need to wait for the source, not the other way around. Emk9 (talk) 05:14, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

Do not add inaccurate edits, thank you. Stluciainformation (talk) 05:17, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

Your patience will be the difference between people reading false and accurate information. Thank you. Stluciainformation (talk) 05:18, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

In fact I have the arms, I need help with formatting. Can you help? Stluciainformation (talk) 05:18, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia policy is to wait until reliable sources exist. Considering this "Marquess" has had no proof of existence for nearly 200 years, one day isn't a big deal. Emk9 (talk) 05:20, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

That above is not accurate again. I’m not sure how exactly you’re having these troubles. What is your expertise exactly? Stluciainformation (talk) 05:22, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * You still have not provided any sources for this claim. A search for "Annaville" in the 1847 edition brings up 2 results, neither about a Marquessate. Emk9 (talk) 05:25, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

I would encourage you to do research. Irish peers have a history of being “lost” in British history. Please stop adding inaccurate edits and practice patience. You are adding more disinformation into this space, which I think we can all agree has been a real plague. Stluciainformation (talk) 05:32, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I have done research, but the only source that supposedly exists hasn't been published, which is why per Wikipedia policy, the information should not be added to articles yet. Emk9 (talk) 05:37, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

Stop adding inaccurate edits. If it really takes 14 hours you need to wait. It is Wikipedia policy not to publish inaccurate information. Can you help me format the Arms please? Stluciainformation (talk) 05:40, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * It's wikipedia policy to follow Reliable sources, of which we have none. Emk9 (talk) 05:41, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

Can you help me format the Arms? Stluciainformation (talk) 05:42, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

I will provide you the link to the digital version of the print article later what is now technically today. In the meantime, may you help me format the Arms? Stluciainformation (talk) 05:48, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * No, because without a source the coat of arms also shouldn't be added to wikipedia. Emk9 (talk) 05:51, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

Sourcing today. Thank you for your commitment to accuracy. Stluciainformation (talk) 05:58, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

Oh, after that sourcing are you able to do the Arms formatting? Stluciainformation (talk) 06:13, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

Sources added. May you help me with Arms? Stluciainformation (talk) 16:07, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * That source is written by the subject, and doesn't actually provide any proof of this extraordinary claim. Emk9 (talk) 16:18, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

Our paper only ran the story on his verified information. You have to stop now. Stluciainformation (talk) 16:26, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * It seems like you have a conflict of interest on this topic, you should see the relevant policies Wp:COI Emk9 (talk) 16:29, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

I don’t, updating information. Cease inaccurate changes until you can counter the proven source. Thank you for following community rule and guidelines. Stluciainformation (talk) 16:30, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I've provided an number of sources showing this peerage does not exist. You have provided an article written by the subject making extraordinary claims. Emk9 (talk) 16:32, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

You have provided nothing. I’ve contacted other editors who are shocked by your actions. Stluciainformation (talk) 16:35, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

The edits will be made again. I would advise, based off of what I heard the punishment is for defacing an article, that you help me with the Arms. Stluciainformation (talk) 16:42, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

List of living former UK MPs
Hi there. As you showed an interest in me updating the list of living former MPs over 90, I thought I would draw your attention to the list article which has recently been created: List of living former United Kingdom MPs. Andrew Gray removed the DOBs because there were concerns it didn't comply with BLP policy, so it's just years for most now. I've been trying to add referenced DOBs back to the list. I think DOBs are readily available online for all bar a handful of ex-MPs.--TrottieTrue (talk) 19:08, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

September 2023
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.  Sounder  Bruce  21:02, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
