Disambiguation link notification for June 28
Hi. When you recently edited Banana republic, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Vanity Fair (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of Cupio dissolvi


The article Cupio dissolvi has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Dictionary definition as per WP:NOTDICDEF

While all 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.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors&#32; according to your reverts at 2012 phenomenon. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. DMacks (talk) 11:10, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

On encyclopedias and reliable sources
Hey, Mauro! I just wanted to let you know/remind you about encyclopedias and reliable sources. As it says here, tertiary sources like encyclopedias are good for sourcing broad summaries, but aren't really appropriate for citing details. I think you're good so far, and I think that the reworked section will be a good addition, but as I said on RSN, you'll have to be very careful about things like reliable sources and synthesis, as it's going to be easy to slip into bad habits regarding either of those when writing about such a subject. Thanks! Writ Keeper &#9863;&#9812; 20:53, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

You might want to take a look at a list generated by Legobot on my request: User:Legobot/Psychologists That is a list derived from the categories.

 * "Er, no. How well those sources are interpreted can be determined by the editors". That's enough: sources have not a reliability in themselves, their truthfulness is not self-evident. The paradoxes of the Catch-22, the bootstrapping, the circular reasoning aka petitio principii, the criticism of the impact factor, the Matthew effect: all epistemological problems still unsolved by anyone. Or do you believe to be an exception? Is perhaps Jimbo's motto: "not hesitating, editing without meditating?" Ps: "er", "er", "er": do you need a mouthwash?

What happened to me was not justice by any means. Many of the so called good editors are bias in a very cunning way. Anyway, I might get blocked any moment now.

 * That featured article had became bullshit with about 30% of no more updated sources. For the editcounters is fine just the add "dead link": a few seconds and go. Your so-called sockpuppet instead has taken the trouble of the dirty job trying to replace the outdated sources. But in your inverted, perverse and evil meritocracy, he would be not good but bad for your stupid little rules from small children: you stop to look at only your formalisms, not the substance. --Mauro Lanari (talk) 19:06, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
 * He didn't get blocked for any of those things, he got blocked for sockpuppetry both times, and the reason he resorted to that is because he was unanimously decided by 8+ people (Technically even he didn't oppose.) that he was constantly edit warring, POV pushing, and even adding homophobic vandalism to articles. Go look up his WP:ANI report if you want to know more about his "noble" efforts. His background isn't as innocent as the few times you've interacted with him...

 * In my idea of justice is infamous condemn someone and simultaneously take and keep his editorial contributions. If he is detrimental to the project, then you be consistent and revert all his edits. Do ut des, tertium non datur. Otherwise you are exploiters who use people as long as you need them. --Mauro Lanari (talk) 21:02, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I follow. No one is exploiting him. He is neither paid nor required to be here. We are all volunteers here. Despite some good edits, he repeatedly ignored warnings and broke the rules. And he's not even banned forever anything, he just has to take a week off. Seems pretty straightforward and fair to me. Sergecross73   msg me   21:14, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
 * It's also worth noting that after the topic ban he was not blocked and was free (encouraged?) to pursue productive editing beyond genres. He did not do this. Яehevkor ✉ 21:22, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for looking at this! So does this mean that the Italian, ecc. Romance Wikis are right and (most others?) are wrong?

I think the references could better be at the end, because after all they apply to the size, not just the American units. Also, since this error has now been copied to millions(?!) of other web pages, an online-verifiable reference would really help -- it doesn't matter if it's in English, Italian, or any other European language, if we can see the numbers (preferably in metres, too).

Jonah
With regards to your edits to Jonah, the expansion is interesting, but not relevant to that present article. You see, if you are going to include the Matthew reference and an expansion of just how it is that Jonah is a presage of Jesus, then you also have to greatly expand the biblical references and explanations for why Michelangelo selected each and every one of the prophets, and what each prophet had to say about the Christ. There is no room for that, in the context of the present article.

Moreover, Jonah doesn't point at the figure of the Christ in the Last Judgement. His pointing fingers go straight past. In fact, the Last Judgement wasn't planned or even thought of, at that date. What you have written there sounds like Original Research! In order to find out what it was that Jonah was pointing at, you will need to find out what was on the wall before the Last Judgement. From the angle of his fingers, it could have been one of the papal portraits, but I don't know who occupied that position. Was it Julius?

If you look at the page Sistine Chapel, you will find that many of the paintings have monographs. You could write a whole article on the significance of the prophets and sibyls. Amandajm (talk) 02:53, 19 June 2013 (UTC) Amandajm (talk) 02:53, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Purtroppo da tempo immemore non c'è un MOS per le biografie di sportivi come su it.wiki. Dobbiamo arrangiarci tra noi con un po' di buon senso. Io uso l'inline perché mi sembra più ordinato, ma non ho certo intenzione di fare un edit-war con te, ne tantomeno di andare ad un "dispute". Ergo ti lascio a quota due revert e mi fermo qui, con la mia quasi ventennale esperienza su Wikipedia ormai so che ci sono quelli ostici da convincere e che devono fare per forza come dicono loro. ;-) --Kasper2006 (talk) 11:47, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

La foto che vedi la feci con Valentina negli studi di Cologno Monzese nel settembre 2004 all'epoca di una mia partecipazione ad un torneo di Passaparola (io sono di Messina e quello tagliato con lei sono prorio io). C'erano le medaglie di Athens 2004 (Cassina, Trillini, Vezzali, Baldini, Bonomi, Rossi, etc..), più altri personaggi (Franco Causio e Irene Pivetti che erano in squadra con me, la Canalis, la Fontana, etc...), ah c'era Montano, all'epoca non ancora famoso come adesso. C'era anche la mamma della Trillini ed io la "sconcicai" a dovere sulla presunta rivalità con Vale, lei mi confermò...l'odio. Più o meno come anche Elisa Di Francisca e C. nelle interviste recenti. Poi ci fu il suo impegno politico, i figli, gli spot TV. Certo lei è un po' "presuntuosetta"...ma dai con quello che ha vinto. Una leggenda. --Kasper2006 (talk) 13:22, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Yves Congar
Thank you for your interesting reply to the correction on the Yves Congar page. In English, we do not place a hyphen between a first and middle name as that implies a single name (as in Marie-Joseph). I know you commented that is standard in French but you indicated that we do that n English. Your comment is intriguing, so I have contacted the person who writes the site you referenced. In addition, I will check with other native English speakers who have written about Congar in order to determine a correct answer in this matter. Thank you for your input. 75.173.134.1 (talk) 23:05, 7 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi Mauro Lanari, I saw your kind reply on my talk page, I don't know if you saw my reply to you. It was as follows:


 * "Hi Mauro Lanari, Thank you! This is a very interesting subject (for me at least). I have been in contact with the gentleman who writes the page at http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/bishop/bcongar.html. He thinks it might be an error that has spread across many Internet pages. He said that he would be correcting that tomorrow. Elizabth T. Groppe is credited with much of the Encyclopedia Britannica article you mentioned, so I will contact her tomorrow and see what she thinks about the spelling. I wanted to mention that I found Congar's obituary in the New York Times, printed two days after he died. It is at http://www.nytimes.com/1995/06/24/obituaries/yves-congar-french-cardinal-dead-91-vigorous-ecumenist-promoter-laity.html In the 10th paragraph, Congar is referred to as "Yves Marie-Joseph Congar." My feeling is that the article was printed so close to the time of his death as well as pretty close to his time of appointment as a cardinal, that that is the more accurate spelling of his name. Currently, I am reviewing "Yves Congar: Theologian of the Church" a historical monograph edited by Gabriel Flynn to see if his middle name is used anywhere in the text. I can see how using a hyphen between first and middle name may seem confusing since his fellow Dominican, Marie-Dominique Chenu, used Marie-Dominique as his complete first name. So, since it is meant to be one name, Marie-Dominique is rightly hyphenated. I will keep you informed as I learn anything more about punctuation of Congar's first and middle names. Taram (talk) 03:55, 8 July 2013 (UTC)"


 * Anyway, I have been doing some studying on the subject. In English, when one puts a hyphen between nouns (including proper nouns) that is called a compound noun (or many nouns to create one word. Congar and those who spke about him when he was alive would use just the name Yves as if it is a noun that stands by itself. I also looked at a first English edition of one of his books. There, his name is given as "Yves M.J. Congar." They didn't even use the hyphen between the two middle names (at least in the acronym form). I did find a reprint of an article which he wrote and in that his name is listed as "Yves M.-J. Congar." There, there is an hyphen between the two middle names to create a compound proper noun. I have not been able to find any original works in which there is a hyphen between his first and middle names. Again, I think that is because it would have made all three names into one name as in Marie-Dominique Chenu's name. WOUld you feel comfortable in removing the hyphen between Yves Congar's first and second name at his page with this information? Thank you for your help and kindness in this matter. I am always so terrified that somebody is going to reply in utter anger, hurtfulness, and disgust about me personally. (That run with Qworty was not comfortable.) I will also post this at my talk page in case you would like to reply there. Thank you, again! Taram (talk) 07:38, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Hello. Please note that text in non-Latin scripts (such as Greek, Cyrillic or Chinese) should not be italicized at all. --Omnipaedista (talk) 22:16, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Also note that loanwords or phrases that have been established in English (words such as nous and Arrondissement) do not require italicization. --Omnipaedista (talk) 22:37, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * The "prediction" in this case is clear-cut. That is, if you check the word's etymology and find that it is not a direct loanword then it is certain that italicization is not required. Words like biology and autopoiesis are English words based on classical Greek roots. Also note that some times italics are used in the lead to indicate use–mention distinction. That it why "autopoiesis" was italicized before my last edit. I converted italics to quotation marks to avoid confusion. Regards. --Omnipaedista (talk) 13:44, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

Hegel and Process Theology
Hi Mauro Lanari- I certainly don't have a problem with you adding that second reference on the Process Theology page, and have no plans to remove it. But I thought I'd ping you for my own edification, only because I am a bit confused as to what you think it demonstrates. In the footnote you cite, both Lucas and O'Regan make very clear that "process theology" and "Hegelian ontotheology" are different things: "Any relation between 'Process Theology' and 'Hegelian Ontotheology' needs to be argued," i.e. we take for granted that they are different (unrelated) things, but people sometimes confuse them because they both identify as "panentheistic." Have you considered editing the panentheism page? This seems like it would be a better place to make the sort of points that you've been making. Panentheism seems like the real link between Hegel and process thought, not the term "process theology" itself. Best - Joseph Petek (talk) 05:14, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

ISBN
I think your division of ISBN numbers in these edits needs to be corrected. You seem to have treated -08- as a language group identifier, although for English the language group identifier should be -0- alone (or -1-). You probably know that the language group identifier for the Italian-speaking area is -88-. This may explain why you seem to think that the language group identifier should have two digits. In reality, it can have anything from one to five digits. I cannot myself correct your edit. I could change every -08- to -0-8..., but I don't have at my disposal any indicator of how many of the digits after -0- indicate the registrant element or editore (anything from 2 to 7 digits) and how many indicate the publication element or titolo (the remaining digits until before the check digit or carattere di controllo.

Post-grunge is NOT Pop Rock, Post-grunge is not called Pop Grunge for a reason
I see you made plenty of edits saying that Post-grunge is a genre of Pop Rock. Post-grunge is NOT, pop rock and has nothing do with it. Really, Post-grunge is a sub-genre of Alternative Rock. Not Pop rock. Post-grunge means, grunge but with a more radio-friendlier term. Post-grunge doesn't add pop elements to it's sound. Post-grunge is not similar to Pop Punk or Glam Metal. Post-grunge is basically Grunge but in a more ready to radio rock. It is not pop because no pop elements was added. If it was, it will be called Pop grunge.

Una richiesta
Tu sai già che, se non fai "log in", ognuno può vedere da dove contatti Wikipedia. Recentemente hai viaggiato un po'. È forse possibile che andrai un giorno a Loreto? Se sì, vorrei chiederti il favore di vedere se nella Basilica della Santa Casa ci sono ancora quattro lastre di pietra rossa, ognuna con una lunga iscrizione rispettivamente in inglese, nell'inglese seicentesco della Scozia, nel gallese, e nel gaelico d'Irlanda. Dove si trovano? Penso su quattro pilastri di divisione fra la navata centrale e le navate laterali. Il testo presenta in ognuna delle quattro lingue la storia della Santa Casa, che un gesuita del XVII secolo aveva tradotto da un'iscrizione in latino, che allora si trovava dietro l'altare maggiore ma che non c'era quando io ci sono andato alcuni decenni fa. Sarei grato se volessi informarmi sulla situazione attuale. Esoglou (talk) 06:37, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Mauro Lanari, thank you for your excellent contributions to the Ian Curtis article. I noticed that User:Myxomatosis57 reverted one of your recent edits and I'd hate to see an edit war over this.

Regarding your edits to Zootopia
Search engine results are never reliable. They are just an index of existing sites and not sources in themselves. It is your responsibility to pick an appropriate source.

Also, you are at your third revert (readding is manually reverting). This source, which you pointed to here would be appropriate if it did more than possibly hint at that album.

Hello Mauro
I have just noticed your message to me in the history of the Jungfrauen article. Yes, it should be in italics because it is an insult and not a scholarly category. Not only that, it should not be an article at all. It should be merged as a piece of trivia in the main CG Jung. Whoever wrote it has made more of it than it merits and actually continues insulting women. Anyway, it is no big deal and in my opinion utterly fails on grounds of notability.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. The full report is at the edit warring noticeboard.

Regarding edits like [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rogue_One&curid=44217612&diff=774501989&oldid=774495283] using as source, is there any evidence available to readers that the image is published by CinemaScore or depicts a page published by CinemaScore? It seems better to me to give the official site https://www.cinemascore.com as source. It's a little annoying that they don't appear to have url's directly to the score of a film but you only have to enter the film's name to see the score. PrimeHunter (talk) 00:23, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
 * The problem is that readers and editors cannot tell from the url whether it's authentic. I suspect any Twitter user could upload a fake image and it would get a similar url.

 * I certainly trusted the Twitter account is authentic after I checked it's linked from https://www.cinemascore.com. "verified Twitter account" does not refer to me or Wikipedia but to an account verified by Twitter and marked with a blue badge. That would have optimal so other editors and readers didn't have to wonder whether the account is authentic (which it is). Fake Twitter accounts have been removed from many other articles. I will accept tweets from this account as source for a CinemaScore, but it wouldn't surprise me if other editors prefer to just use https://www.cinemascore.com.

Clement of Alexandria
Hallo Mauro,

I just stumbled upon this website; it has a lot of information on Clement. Again, I'm amazed about Neo-Platonism, theoria, and the apophatic tradition. It sheds unexpected light on Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta, and the workings of the mind. Mysticism seems to be closely intertwined with cognition, and the restructuring of coginition. In the Zen-tradition, there is a strong claim that insight comes independent of texts. I've doubted this for years; one needs a framework to make sense of meditative experience. But it's even more fundamental: the texts, the way of thinking c.q. contemplation, shapes and onvokes the "experience". It's not an 'experience of some-"thing"'; it's a change in cognition, actively shaped by theoria. Very interesting. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk!  06:14, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

"Infobox fixes"
Hello Mauro, I observed a few of your recent "Infobox fixes" edits to various The Matrix-related articles. However, I fail to see how these edits are useful, as you are merely replacing plainlist with ubl, although their output is equal, only the input is different (* instead of |). Since this appears as a predominantly opinionated edit, and since you are doing it en masse, would you bother explain your reasoning behind them? Cheers! Lordtobi ( &#9993; ) 10:09, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Hey again, you can also reply here, no need for edit summaries to substitute that {. Anyhow, it appears that TOJ correctly removed the &lt;br /&gt; tag per WP:VLIST and stripped the 'Pictures' from 'Warner Bros.' per WP:COMMONNAME. That they changed plainlist as well is again an opinion matter, although it seems that they wanted to align the template usage (previously, both ubl and plainlist was used). On The Matrix, on the other hand, there was only one template used, so the change did practically nothing. Lordtobi  ( &#9993; ) 10:34, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * And there are also flatlist, hlist, and so on. Anyway, my apologies to both of you. --Mauro Lanari (talk) 13:42, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

Link to Google Books as a source?
I like that you review my edits on Falsifiability. I wish there was more people active on this article, which needs a bit of work, I feel. I read a bit the rules in WP before changing the references. (Note that I mostly changed references that I had included myself.) In particular, I noticed this suggestion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Links_to_sources. I suspect that we are free to decide amongst us what is the best way. So, I don't want to make a big deal about rules. This suggestion, however, makes a lot of sense to me. I don't like that we pick a particular database, search engine, etc. to source a book, unless it is not accessible elsewhere. This is especially the case for Google Book, because it provides a sample of the pages only - it's worst than other databases. In particular, you removed a reference that existed since a long time ago (which I only edited recently), which was used in the sentence below and you replaced it with a reference to Google book instead:

In work beginning in the 1930s, Popper gave falsifiability a renewed emphasis as a criterion of empirical statements in science. Popper noticed that two types of statements are of particular value to scientists:

When I click I see that the pages 48-50 are not available. Maybe they were available for you, I don't know. There are many ways to get Logic of Scientific Discovery on the web. In particular, it is archived in https://ia800409.us.archive.org/34/items/PopperLogicScientificDiscovery/popper-logic-scientific-discovery.pdf. Therefore, the suggestion that is given above makes a lot of sense in this case. I want to have your opinion on this and on the suggestion of not using private databases or search engines, in general.

There is one rule that I have seen in Wikipedia in many places. It seems the most important of all the rules: editors need to work together and consensus is more important than most rules. There is a lot of work to do on this article. In particular, the notion of "naive falsifiability" is not well introduced. In Popper's view, there is no such a thing as naive falsifiability. I think that this notion was introduced by Imre Lakatos. In the current paper, it is introduced out of context. I feel most of the content in the article is fine. It is also fine to mention Lakatos's view. In fact, I think we should explain it better. Dominic Mayers (talk) 16:11, 16 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi Dominic, I'm sorry for the trouble I gave you. In fact, in my country that link is readable in full. But don't worry: I'm tired of both epistemology and Popper, and I don't think I'll edit anything more about them. Cheers. Mauro --82.84.23.62 (talk) 07:52, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Edit war warning
Your recent editing history at Simon Baron-Cohen shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 BRD 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 your 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.

Citation formatting
Hi. Regarding your edits here and here you should know that "website" (or "work") is the more appropriate parameter for websites such as Box Office Mojo and The Numbers, per the Template:Cite web documentation, major sources do not require a "publisher" (e.g., adding "CBS Interactive" after "Metacritic" or "IMDb" after "Box Office Mojo"), per WP:CS1. Also, per WP:INFOBOXREF, references are not needed in infoboxes when said references already appear in the body of the article. Thank you.  snap snap  (talk) 20:37, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi SnapSnap, you should know the long-standing problem of sites that are not written in italics, such as The Numbers, Box Office Mojo, Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, etc. Also, on WP: INFOBOXREF, I would not be wrong but on this issue Lugnuts has an opposite idea to yours, and already once made me block for a day.

 * Seriously? First of all, unexplained blanking is disruptive--and calling it vandalism wouldn't be very wrong. These series of unexplained edits, from an IP and from the account, look weird and confusing, as if a registered editor is undoing vandalism. Adding "expand - in the name and memory of Aaron Swartz" helps no one at all. (And I'll add that "anonymous" here doesn't mean what I think you think it means.) You've been reverted by User:Rdp060707, who seemed to wonder what's going on--and you've been reverted by yourself (, , and many other places--God knows why). And I suppose this is you reverting yourself too? This is a collaborative project, and what you are doing is spreading confusion. And now two highly-paid administrators are having to spend time on your edits. NinjaRobotPirate has already blocked one of the IPs, and I'll block another. But the whole thing is really simple: you should sign in when making edits, you should give sensible explanations of your edits. If you do not, you may be blocked for actively undermining the collaborative nature of this project. Drmies (talk) 15:36, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
