User talk:Mishae/Archive 2

Re: Fake warning
A warning is "fake" in that is was added by a vandal whose edits I was reverting. See this history. EvergreenFir (talk) 04:49, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

The user in question has been block evading. See Special:Contributions/Casason, Special:Contributions/Fruugirt, and Special:Contributions/Gjtitjg. I love the blocking by a "vandal-admin" comment the most. Also per your comment on the edit warring noticeboard, the user also needs instruction on external links as the videos had no reference to the article. Videos of fans may be cool (sorry, someone had to say it) but had no direct relevancy to the article.-- &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(talk)  05:38, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Can't a user use YouTube videos as an external link?--Mishae (talk) 13:33, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Only if the YouTube video is actually about the article subject. The three videos of ceiling fans do not relate to the the resort. You do not link videos of African wildebeest migrations to an article about early Inca silver jewelry techniques.-- &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(talk)  15:00, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Removed pictures
Thanks for pointing out that five pictures have been removed from Scandrett Regional Park because of "excessive non-free files". Can you explain this to me please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by E James Bowman (talk • contribs) 04:40, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Thank you. I'm trying hard to work my way around the concerns (and mass deletions) of User:Werieth but he/she is simply disagreeing with me and deleting more. This seems to be contrary to the editing protocols of Wikipedia could you please review the "Removed pictures" discussion here:User talk:Werieth and intervene or provide some guidance?

Scandrett Regional Park
Hi, Mishae. Reading this: Identifying reliable sources I believe the following paper (ref #9) fulfils the Wikipedia requirements of a reliable source, but I need consensus. Do you agree that the paper is (A) a reliable/verifiable source for this article: Scandrett Regional Park and (B) one source that establishes notability of the members of the Scandrett family it details?

Here: [] is a PDF from the National Historic Heritage Workshop 2004 run by Department of Conservation (New Zealand), New Zealand Historic Places Trust and Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand. It contains links to two PDFs of the presentation [] and paper [] presented by Dave Pearson [], Conservation Architect, Auckland, describing the five year project to restore the historic buildings located on Scandretts Farm (renamed Scandrett Regional Park the following month). It contains a History of the farm, and says "It is the personal history associated with Scandretts farm that sets it apart from other places. Without these associations, the buildings could be in danger of becoming just another group of old farm buildings. The story of the people that lived there brings a place such as Scandretts to life". E James Bowman (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:55, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Well with the amount of reference being provided and by the way how the other user didn't removed them I can agree that its notable and well written stub. As far as family goes, again, the article is about a park, so keep the reference to a family to a minimum. Thank you.--Mishae (talk) 00:03, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I'm planning on writing separate family articles if I can find sufficient reliable source info. Could you please write your valuable opinion on the Talk section of the article? Talk:Scandrett Regional Park E James Bowman (talk) 00:20, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I was just wondering why you didn't use the welcome template to welcome me. --Big Caboose (talk) 00:42, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Normally people would say thanks and actually I think I used just that. Plus, whats the difference? You are in, enjoy the project! Cheer up!--Mishae (talk) 00:50, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I was just curious. The version you used seems outdated. --Big Caboose (talk) 02:55, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, some users use the old version, some use the new one. How is it outdated? Can you show me? To be honest with you I used the generic template which I was greeted with in 2009. I checked the others and I think they are no better, however, I did add a policy which probably suppose to be there. Another thing, this is my first time being criticized for welcoming a user and I think such questions should have been left alone. We are here to write articles and improve on them, not being curious of who welcomes whom and in which way.--Mishae (talk) 03:18, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I wasn't criticising you. I just found it strange that there was a link to a redirect. --Big Caboose (talk) 16:15, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * That's a template that you put if you will need either mine or someone else's help and the reason why its a redirect is not because its an old version, its the way how Wikipedia is. I fixed a template, thanks.--Mishae (talk) 16:24, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm not trying to tell you how to do your editing, but I think it's better to just use the template. It avoids confusion. --Big Caboose (talk) 16:32, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Hey, Mishae, I noticed that you moved this page to Christopher Oakley (historian) earlier today, but left the original title as a redirect. Were you planning on doing something with the original? I ask because, if not, it should probably be moved back, or the disambiguation page moved on top of it; there's no need to put (historian) in there if there's no disambiguation page or other Christopher Oakley pages at that title.

Hello and thank you for the welcome - I have written an article
Hello Mishae,

In the spirit of full disclosure I am an employee at Woodland Scenics, a company in Linn Creek, Missouri. There is a current article posted to Wikipedia, and we would like to expand it. We believe we are notable in the industry and have "several independent reliable sources that include substantial information about our company." However rather than edit that particular page, I am creating a draft expanded article in the Sandbox, as suggested in the FAQs for Organizations. I want to make sure our information remains unbiased. I am not an experienced contributor to Wikipedia, am learning the ropes, so to speak, and would gladly welcome any feedback/assistance I can get from seasoned wiki editors.

I have written the draft article to request for submission, and it is in my Sandbox. I want to get an opinion as to whether you think it is okay. I have read the resources and I think I have complied with all the requirements.

Is this something you can do? And, I have a particular question...

Many of the sources cited in the draft are from national model railroad and hobby retailer publications, local and regional newspapers, etc. However, many are not available online, so including a substantiating link is not possible. I do have hard copies of these sources, but do not know what to do beyond that point. Help?

Thank-you.

Mitch Mitch2018 (talk) 14:22, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, Mishae! I have most of that information on the hard copy of the articles. Will include it in the reference information and submit the article for review. Again...thanks so much for your help. Mitch Mitch2018 (talk) 21:44, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Ways to improve Mark Newman (sculptor)
Hi, I'm Kudpung. Mishae, thanks for creating Mark Newman (sculptor)!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. As this is a BLP, more stronger sources are required to assert notability.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:32, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Mishae. I'm curious what you're working on these days? I know I can look at your contribution history, but I thought I would ask you instead. Are you working on food subjects or biological subjects? Both?

Also, I see from your talk page that you at first had some difficulty with the ways of Wikipeida, but now you're a mentor and a welcomer. That's pretty cool.

Are you enjoying your work here? What are your favorite areas to work on? Take care. Sorry for all the questions. Have a happy every day. Candleabracadabra (talk) 23:31, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Considering that I have autism its sometimes hard to get into a routine, but as time went by me, just like any person in the world learns how to behave... Its good that you asked me about my interests in Wikipedia and truly there are many. Lets say, I write articles about anything... I started out with games, but then realized that majority are already covered (and I don't like edit conflicts) :) So, I decided to write about insects, and not one but many. Currently I work on biographies, and for more info you can check my userpage, its well organized though. :) Take care,

 * Okay, you're totally misinterpreting. If a prod is not contested after 10 days, then the article can safely be deleted by an admin. If it is removed before 10 days, then it can instantly go to AFD without a waiting period. The AFD discussion then stays open for 7 or more days. There is nothing in that that says that you have to wait 10 days after a contested prod. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 20:16, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Academics
An article on an academic that just gives their position and refers to Gogle Scholar for the h value is not really sufficient. I know you have considerable experience here, so you must know this.

It is true that notability under WP PROF depends mainly of the extent to which the person is an authority, and this is generally determined by such things as distinguished positions, major prizes, and citations to their publication, but some details are necessary for a satisfactory article.

What I hope, is that you've been entering the first sentence and intend to come back and finish. If so, it will avoid confusion to use an {{underconstruction}] tag at the top. That's what I do.  DGG ( talk ) 01:14, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Hey Mishae! Remember me? Hope everything is going well - I've been on a break from Wikipedia, but I'm back. I noticed you left me a message on my talk page back in August here. It was a long time ago, but in case you didn't find an answer, I left you one XD Apologies if my reply covers things you already know - you seem to have become way more experienced since I disappeared.

Ways to improve Mietek Jaroniec
Hi, I'm Kudpung. Mishae, thanks for creating Mietek Jaroniec!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Plerase add more sources to this BLP.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:53, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

A page you started (Piero Carninci) has been reviewed!
Thanks for creating Piero Carninci, Mishae!

Wikipedia editor Lucifero4 just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

"Ok the article is well written."

To reply, leave a comment on Lucifero4's talk page.

AIV or ANI?
Hi, dumb question maybe, but did you mean to post this at WP:AIV or WP:ANI? No disrespect intended if you meant AIV--it just seemed an atypical place for such a report (I say cautiously, noticing that you have 8x the edits that I do...)  Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:55, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Knowing Mishae, this was a genuine inadvertent error. It should of course go to ANI. best thing  to do is to self-revert it and copy & and paste it there. Happy holidays everyone! Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:07, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

M Youssef's CV
The guidelines you quote say nothing about it being "okay to include CVs". An independent description of someone's career would be allowed as a reference, but not if he wrote it himself, which he obviously did! Deb (talk) 23:07, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

User:Mishae/Moustafa Youssef
Hi Misha, I edited this a bit. The edit summary got garbled a bit (I clicked "enter" by accident). The article needs some clarifications (like "Gordian Knot", which is a mythical event and surely Youssef wasn't there over 2000 years ago :-) and some independent references for the awards and such (and some rewards need to be explained what they actually are). Also, he lead could be a bit more informative than what I just made out of it. Perhaps a Google search would turn up more sources? --Randykitty (talk) 17:41, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Advice
Hi, Mishae. Although your English is very good in general, I think you do need to be careful not to react aggressively when people give you advice; you sometimes appear to misunderstand them and that is not their fault. I can tell you a little more about the reasons for the "legal threat" policy, because I was here on wikipedia when it was first introduced. We had a contributor at that time who was a lawyer in real life and already had a reputation outside this project. She took offence at something that was said to her and accused the other contributor of casting doubt on her professional qualifications and said she would take him to court. It was a ridiculous threat as he hadn't even done anything wrong, but it was frightening for him. So this rule was introduced. It is an effective rule, because from time to time we get people coming on here who make empty threats and it is unpleasant for others; if they behave like that, we can block them. It doesn't mean that every time anyone mentions the law on copyright, they are threatening you. They are trying to help you by explaining the details of the laws we have to obey. I realise that you face many difficulties, but you should try to learn not to react like that as it makes you look bad and will make people less inclined to help you. So please do be careful how you address people. Deb (talk) 13:01, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, frankly speaking, you can't take anyone to court just because someone is in doubt or in denial of someone's career or expertise in someone's field! Like its not a denial of a specific historical events like Holocaust for which many countries can pursue legal measures up to 10 years in prison (Russian maximum penalty, which was introduced in 2010). Either way, thanks for explaining the situation, and do except my apologies for any aggression. You see, (if you would read my userpage), I have condition of autism and cerebral palsy both of which can make me hostile and/or aggressive toward others. Sometimes, because I am from another country (Russia), I can't write a concise or grammar issue free text sometimes. I do appreciate any help, and as you seen I sent you many thanks for grammar fixes, but do bear in mind, that my aggression have nothing to do with editors or editor conduct, its sometimes just me not knowing how to react in certain situations (if not my disabilities I won't be aggressive at all (or it would have much more at minimum), or the other my obsession lets me create many article on notable people, which Wikipedia was in need sometimes 10 years ago. :)--Mishae (talk) 15:04, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

"he have"
Hi. Can I give you one pointer to improving your articles? The phrase "he have" is never grammatically correct in English. What you should put in its place depends what you mean, but in most cases it would be "he has". Deb (talk) 12:01, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

csd a7
applies to individual animals, not to species-- and anyway, all species are considered notable here. Acupalpus carus needs a reference, but we don;t delete on that basis either.  DGG ( talk ) 22:18, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * What is the difference between individual animals and species? Plus, its odd, so when there is a bio it needs an immediate reference otherwise it will be deleted especially if its BLP, but when it comes to animals Wikipedia forgets about Verifiability rule????--Mishae (talk) 22:22, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, here's an example: my pet dog named Rosie is an individual animal; C. l. familiaris is a species. So, an article written about my Rosie would fall under the "animal" category of A7; an article written about C. l. familiaris would not. As for BLP, BLP is a special policy when it comes to real people because posting false things about real-life people on Wikipedia can cause real-life harm to them; things like animal species and the like can't, so there's much less urgency attached to it. Writ Keeper &#9863;&#9812; 22:28, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * That's a bit funny. Like O.K. humans have feelings but animals don't? Sorry, but I wonder if people from Animal Humane Society or the like do come here? If they do, they might get disappointed and you know, how animal right activists are (I am excluded from that list). Don't take it as a threat though, just my opinion, or rather imagination.--Mishae (talk) 22:34, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * More to the point, though, animals can't read Wikipedia articles about themselves and feel alarm at all the false things it claims about them, and animals can't appreciate any negative impacts to their credibility/reputation as a result of other people reading and believing false claims. (Okay, yes, I guess there are some plausible scenarios wherein harm comes to an animal because of false things on Wikipedia, like if someone posts unsourced allegations that pitbulls are always dangerous, it could cause some pitbulls to be abandoned or something. But that's a bit of a stretch, and c'mon, at some point, they're just dogs.) Writ Keeper &#9863;&#9812; 23:22, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, I personally not a dog lover, but some people might take it the wrong way, and therefore be offended by the article. I care less though, but considering the current world we live in there was cases when some animals get killed because of the false believe. For example: Someone says that all the wolfs are dangerous because they eat our cattle. O.K., that might be true. Yes, there were cases when a sheep was eaten by a wolf, and there was many tales that we tell out kids how wolfs are evil and so on. The fact is, is that that sheep was bleeding and that's why the wolf ate it. Mean time, the humans wiped out a big chunk of Gray wolf population claiming that it feeds on its unattended livestock. Now, correct me if I am wrong, but is not it suppose to be shepherds job to see where their livestock is? All what I am saying is that the article must be verifiable even if it is about an animal species and should be treated no differently then any other. Its a bit of an unconstructive leeway here, when it comes to animal related articles. Speaking or animal and species differences Wikipedia have articles related to notable horses. Their names are displayed all right, or is it an exception?--Mishae (talk) 23:49, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * To be sure, verifiability is important for every article, regardless of subject, and any false information could be potentially hazardous if acted upon. While animal articles certainly aren't any less prone to this as any other type of article, all I'm saying is that they're not extraordinarily more prone to it, either. The reason that BLP is a thing is that articles about living people are extraordinarily more prone to it, and that's why BLP is a special-case rule.  And yeah, of course there are some individual animals that are notable; for example, I don't think anyone would argue that, say, Secretariat isn't notable, or that it should be deleted under A7.  The point is simply that A7 is a two-step process: the first step is determining whether the article falls under one of the specific categories that A7 applies to, and the second step is determining whether there is a valid claim of significance. An article like Secretariat's qualifies for the first step, since it's about an individual animal, which is one of the categories. But it doesn't qualify for the second step, since winning the Triple Crown is a valid claim of significance, and so Secretariat's article could not be deleted under A7. An article about a species, on the other hand, doesn't qualify for the first step, as it's not an individual animal, and there's no other category that applies, so it still can't be deleted under A7. Writ Keeper &#9863;&#9812; 00:13, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
 * So when it comes to animals, what category does apply? Like, there should be a policy regarding unsourced animal articles. However, maybe there are not many sources that species articles can use. For example, its perfectly fine for a species articles to use ARKive or Fauna Europaea and sometimes specific sites that have to do with species' habitat such as Ground Beetles of Ireland and Zin.ru (since we are talking beetles here). Mean time, sites like ZipcodeZoo, Arctos, BugGuide and even ITIS are considered to be dubious even though that both Encyclopedia of Life and ITIS are used as part of a taxobox on both Russian and Ukrainian Wikipedias. There cases such as here, that an article can't be referenced and therefore can be misleading and dubious. Like, I can use Carabidae of the World, but I heard that Wikipedia consider it to be dubious as well, not to mention that its under maintenance as of yesterday.--Mishae (talk) 01:56, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

La Juive
Thanks for your note on my page. Well, firstly, amongst the Wiki Project Opera group, we generally accept entries in Grove as being "the" source. Therefore, my ref to the translation specifically refers to Grove by page (I have a copy of course, so it was the first thing that I consulted). Secondly, even with my relatively limited French, any definite article (i.e. "The") in French would appear as "La" before a feminine noun (in this case "Juive") and before a masculine noun, it would appear as "Le", although I don't know what the masculine form would look like here. But the feminine plural would surely be "Les Juives" ("Juive" + "s"), there being no specific masculine nor feminine form of the plural "the" in third-person French.

Regardless, we are not talking about more than one woman in the title of the opera, which when reviewing the synopsis, the story clearly relates to one Jewish woman - hence La Juive. I checked with the Holden Penguin volume, and it is the same in translation. I hope this makes sense. All the best, Viva-Verdi (talk) 00:58, 16 January 2014 (UTC)


 * PS: My apologies! I hadn't gone back to read the article's text, so NOW I see what you mean!  It is of course The Jewess - only two "s"..! Viva-Verdi (talk) 01:04, 16 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Assume you saw my error note above. The opera is about the principal character who is a Jewess.  It could have been called "Rachel", I suppose, and indeed there are other Jewish characters - but she is the focus. Viva-Verdi (talk) 01:21, 16 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, I thought you knew that this was about the opera La Juive by the 19th C. French composer Halevy. And both Grove and Holden spell is standardly in England with 2 x "s", so that "Jew"  can mean just a man, whereas "Jewess" refers to a female Jew. Viva-Verdi (talk) 04:12, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Natalya Antonova
Hello, Mishae. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Natalya Antonova, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:


 * 1) edit the page
 * 2) remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

Japan-related articles
Hi Mishae: Again, I want to stress there's no personal animosity when I propose an article for deletion. I think (or hope!) that I am just neutrally instituting Wikipedia policies. I am concerned, however, when you say that the "Quality of encyclopedia wont suffer just because someone is not notable." I believe WP:NOTABILITY is one of the basic elements of the WP:FIVEPILLARS of Wikipedia: it is the notability guideline that makes Wikipedia an encyclopedia, not an mass of data or a soapbox or a means of self-promotion. If we allow articles that are not notable, Wikipedia will turn into a Craigs List of ads for amateur bands, or a blog for crackpot ideas. The line has to be drawn somewhere, so many of the Projects have detailed where the line is drawn between what is allowed and what is not. WP:NMUSIC is the one for music. Sometimes it can be cruel when you delete something. I've seen pages deleted that are earnest memorials for a dead relative who was a nice member of the community but did nothing special. There are other places for that on the net; it's just not on Wikipedia. Also, I wanted to stress that I don't think you were being promotional when you created the Nakamichi page; I was just saying that one reason there is the policy about WP:RELIABLESOURCES is that sources directly related to the individual/subject can not always be trusted. People make up things on their resumés all the time. We need to be reasonably critical about the sources we use. That should involve being critical about whether to create a page or not. I have seen your name around on Wikipedia, so when I checked your edits, you clearly have many more than I do. But I do hope you've learned a bit more not only about notability guidelines, but also about why they are there. I think it's good you're starting to consider articles for deletion, though I warn you to be prepared for an occasional tough discussion (some users can be tough if their page has been nominated, or if they think the nomination was unwise). But I think you've not been properly nominating the pages you've nominated: the AfD tag does appear on the page, but I've checked and the nomination does not appear on the log: Articles_for_deletion. Have you followed all the instructions at WP:AFDHOW? (Note that if you use WP:TWINKLE, you can more easily do the nominating.) Finally, about checking in the library. I am not in Japan now, but have access to a university library with a decent Japanese section. I sometimes go there to check on Japanese sources for articles on more obscure topics. (One of the problems with Wikipedia is the tendency to emphasize online sources, so sometimes articles get nominated for deletion because people couldn't find anything on the net, even though there are plenty of print sources. This is especially the case with older subjects like medieval samurai or old military figures; it's much less the case with contemporary figures like Nakamichi.) So I can check on Nakamichi when I can, though that might not be for a few days. Given my experience, I doubt I will find anything, but I can give it a try. Michitaro (talk) 14:29, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, I am sorry if my comment was, lets say, not nice. I don't use Twinkle, since I thought its for reverters only, and I am not that. Another thing to mention: Please understand that I am not here to create a soapbox out of encyclopedia. Just like you I am here to create an encyclopedia, with maybe less knowledge on my part. You see, different guidelines require different assets of notability. For example I wrote a lot of articles related to athletes and their criterium says that the athlete who played at least one game is notable. Luckily for athletes there are many online newspapers, so with this field I have 0 issues. When it comes to scientists for example, I need to make sure that they have a ton of peer reviewed journals or a high h-index. But, there are no such thing as h-index for musicians??? And majority of them don't have much of the coverage. I have the same issue when it comes to writers, artists and photographers. Like, National Geographic, is a great reference for photographer's bio, but what if he is not a part of NGO, what's then? Same thing is with writers. Like, there is a bio of every writer on Amazon.com but I don't use it as a reference since I know that its not it. Some Wikipedians say its perfectly fine to use Amazon link, but I still think that its as bad as writing a promo. Sometimes Wikipedia keeps an article on a non notable person simply because the other language have it. The reason why I wrote it is because I thought that maybe Japanese language Wikipedia will have even more in debt coverage, but as time went by they didn't wrote a single thing, therefore I need to condemn that she is probably not notable (yet)--Mishae (talk) 21:21, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Link rot remedy
Before deleting a citation because of a deadlink, please check the archive sources for a copy. For example, the citation that you deleted from the Pre-Tridentine Mass article, had several perfectly good archive copies available. The instructions on the deadlink template say: ''Please also consider doing a search for an archived copy of the dead link and thereby avoiding using the tag altogether. This is of course the best solution when you find a dead link.'' You also might want to take a look at Wikipedia:Linkrot, which has more detail.

Helladia adelpha
Hi Misha,

It looks like you are doing some great work on species-related articles. I noticed that you created both Helladia adelpha and Dolichoctis rotundata two years ago, although they seem to refer to the same species. How would you recommend clearing up this issue? Your help would be greatly appreciated. As a side note, you may wish to consider archiving your talk page, as its length may prevent users with slow computers from contacting you. A "how to" guide is located here.

Neelix (talk) 23:09, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I just cleared up the issue, I forgot to rename Helladia adelpha into Dolichoctis rotundata when I created Dolichoctis rotundata article. In reality both Dolichoctis and Helladia genuses do exist, so, no, they are different species. The sites are different and so is the color of the species along wiith size. I think you accidently give me one wrong insect to compare with and since I wrote many, it will be difficult for you to give me the right one. I'm planning on archiving my page eventually, but right now I have classes to attend.--Mishae (talk) 03:46, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Nichiren Shōshū - Questionable authenticity of a photo
I'm an inexperienced editor wondering if a photo on Nichiren Shōshū, Taiseki-ji and Dai Gohonzon conforms with Wikipedia's standards. I don't think that it meets the guidelines of burden of proof, reliable sources, and original research. It's from Wikimedia Commons, which lists the source as a non-authoritative webpage. Whether the image is what that webpage claims has not been demonstrated, especially with any credible sources. This has been discussed at length on Talk:Nichiren Shōshū in the last section and it appears that we have reached an impasse. What is your opinion, please? If you think I'm correct, then should I seek mediation / dispute resolution? Scandiescot (talk) 06:51, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 * If its in commons then its licensed, since Wikimedia Commons is a part of Wikipedia.--Mishae (talk) 20:10, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks
Thank You! But after five years and over a hundred edits, don't you think you're welcome is a bit stale. But thanks all the same. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Axelssj99 (talk • contribs) 22:56, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks and one question:)
TThanks for the welcome, Mishae! It was so nice to find your welcome msg on my talk page, I felt at home and taken care :) And yes, I do have a question for you: I'm fond of (and postgraduates too :) contemporary architecture and I'ld love to create an article but -- although I've read Your first article -- being a newcomer, I'm very hesitant... How can I know what might be needed in the contemporary architecture field? how can I know if the quality of my article is acceptable BEFORE uploading it? can I submit it to an editor for a first look and advises? As of now, I've only found a couple of inaccurate informations and I have corrected them -- but, just to be sure, I have copied/pasted the right info from another wiki article... Should I be more brave and try to write myself? can I be mentored somehow? Sorry for asking so many questions but I'm a newbie, you know... 16:49, 6 April 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Architect77 (talk • contribs)

Thank you, Mishae! I will stay in touch and ask you more questions when I'll know better what I would like to do :) Talk you soon.Architect77 (talk) 16:34, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Tsuneo Tanaka
Hi, Mishae. This is Michitaro. I noticed you recently created the article Tsuneo Tanaka, but it has some problems I wanted to discuss with you. First, it seems the article is referring to different people under the same name. First, Tsuneo Tanaka 田中常雄 was appointed ambassador to the Philippines in 1988, and did receive a Presidential Citation (not a Global Voluntary Service award--that is the name of his NPO) in 2010 (plus an even more important Order of the Golden Heart with the rank of Grand Cross (Maringal na Krus) in 2013 ). But as you can see in the photo of Tanaka here, he is not the same person who is the ecologist at Villefranche (see his photo here). Moreover, the Google Scholar page you reference seems to be referring to many different T. Tanakas. The ecologist's own list of articles only lists 35 articles. It is also highly unlikely that a marine ecologist has published on leukemia and robotics. Please note that Google Scholar is usually just the result of a Google bot doing searches, and thus comes up with many inaccurate results. Since the part about the scientist is quite suspect (and it's not certain if any of these Tanakas are notable), I would suggest cutting all the parts in the article that are not about the ambassador. Michitaro (talk) 23:56, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Bortnick
Minor league players are not automatically notable per WP:ATHLETE. Some are and pass WP:GNG. I do not believe Tyler Bortnick comes close.--Yankees10 20:48, 22 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm kind of confused by your question.--Yankees10 21:12, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Dear Mishae, how are you doing? you may recall me, you advised me a month ago. Thank you again :) I'm writing you because something strange is happening in the page Neo-Futurism. As you remember, this is one of the (few) articles I have edited until now. Now somebody is deleting paragraph after paragraph... It was an interesting page but I think that his next step will be to terminate it: he has already deleted almost everything in less than two weeks. Too bad, I liked that article :( The last msg in the talks is now asking for help of an administrator suggesting that the guy is using multiple addresses to accomplish a proposal of deletion that it was reverted and that he may have a personal reason to do so... Dunno... Can you have a look? Architect77 (talk) 01:11, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Archiving thank you
Thanks for the archiving at diff Adrianne Wadewitz article.

Did you do that manually, or automatically with some sort of tool?

Thanks again,

Mishae, thanks for your welcome message
I'm American. My grandfather was born in Russia/Ukraine - probably somewhere around Odessa, although information on this is hard to come by. I've edited a number of articles in the past, but this is the first time I've tried to create a new one. It hasn't gone live yet. You'll find it on my talk page. I welcome your comments.

Physics bios
Hi Mishae,

From the recent AFD discussion I got that you are interested in writing bio articles about physicists. Instead of looking for new articles to create you might be interested in having a look at the huge collection of stubs on physicists. Many of them are in a really poor state and could use some TLC. This goes particularly for those bio article identified as "mid" and "high" importance for WP Physics.TR 08:44, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Dates
Hi, I rarely see the weekdays used with the dates and the Manual of Style hardly mentions them. I think that might be because in most cases it is not important what day of the week it was. --Jaellee (talk) 22:34, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Days in dates
Hi there - not sure why but we just don't, see WP:CITE/ES. I'd genuinely never seen it in 8+ years of being here until your edits...! GiantSnowman 11:34, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Nothing to be ashamed about at all, there are lots of rules on Wikipedia and not everybody is expected to know all of them! The thing is that you know now and you have learnt from it so won't repeat the same mistakes again, and that is all that we ask! GiantSnowman 15:23, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Convert ranges
When you want the convert template to show a range with dashes, please just use a hyphen, for example: The template uses the correct en dash in the output. Convert also accepts an en dash in the template, but for simplicity I recommend a hyphen (more options are at Help:Convert). I noticed this at Cochylis yinyangana and Cochylidia multispinalis. I fixed the converts, so there is no problem, but I thought you might want to know. Johnuniq (talk) 06:28, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
 * → 9 - 12 mm
 * Thanks, but I did exactly that. Some conversion ranges it doesn't convert by an unknown to me reason, so I either leave a mess or I don't do anything with them. :(--Mishae (talk) 13:41, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter, but if you want to check it out, here are the details:
 * When convert was added in this edit, the dashes that were in the article were retained, but the first used an en dash while the second had U+2500 . The result was that the first convert worked while the second did not.
 * In this edit, the dash was again preserved, but again it was incorrect as U+2212 had been used.
 * The best idea is to change the dash to a hyphen which the convert template will properly handle. Johnuniq (talk) 02:29, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your suggestion but I only use the hyphen (-) sign. Somebody before me used a different parameter and I am sorry if I overlooked it. So far, I am doing good though.--Mishae (talk) 02:38, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
