Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

The Mesak Settafet
Sorry it's been a couple of months since your revision on the Mesak Settafet, but I wanted to contend with you here in case you didn't go back to check its talk page. Could you provide a reason why you reverted a change that referenced a peer-reviewed journal article? I recognize that the figure for the amount of rock fragments seems outlandish. That's why the researchers included it as a frame of reference for how remarkably thick the layers of debitage were in certain areas. But that's exactly why the figure is possible: they randomly selected square meters across the escarpment and then tried to explain how dense the fragments were in the densest of them.

I would gladly be more careful about my language, to include "in the most densely-laden test areas" as a more exact qualifier than "in some areas," which I freely agree is not perhaps up to standard.

What?
I was trying to define certainty. Right now the lead gives a very vague idea of certainty. --37KZ (talk) 18:43, 9 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Please do not try to define certainty on your own, that would be original research. Note that the lead states explicitly that there are "many different conceptions of certainty, but none that has achieved consensus." This means that the general definition must be vague by necessity, so as not to exclude any of the narrower definitions under discussion. I don't think you can find another secondary source of equal authority that gives a more "precise" definition of the term. Paradoctor (talk) 20:30, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

Redirect article from ex nihilo to creatio ex nihilo
I'm sure that whoever originally created the article ex nihilo (out of nothing, naturally) meant that it should treat creatio ex nihilo as its subject, but the choice of ex nihilo as the article title has meant that the lead and first few paras have to deal with distinguishing between creatio ex nihilo and the ex nihilo nihil fit idea. It would be much easier if the title were simply creatio ex nihilio, which in fact it once was.

revert of Liar Paradox edit adding source from archive.org provided by Internet Archive
In my recent edit of Liar paradox, I added a link to "archive.org" (run by Internet Archive, the same organization that provides the Wayback archive service). Notwithstanding your assertion that they are violating copyright, Internet Archive purports to provide the archive.org service in a manner that does not violate copyright law, which would presumably implicate Open Library as well, since they also provide access to content through archive.org.

Admittedly, there is a lawsuit pending, trial date is set for later this year (November 2021). For the moment, it appears that Wikipedia policy is to continue the existing practices (e.g. Open Library being on WP:Book sources), so I will be reverting your revert. Thank you for listening. Fabrickator (talk) 16:55, 12 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Please cite the overriding WP:policy. Paradoctor (talk) 17:04, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Or provide evidence that Archive.org has the right to republish. Otherwise, we have to assume they don't. Paradoctor (talk) 17:06, 12 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Open Library/Internet Archive assert that they have the right to provide this content. WP has been providing access to such content (i.e. content which is copyrighted but for which OL/IA claims the right to make available in this manner) for some number of years, and in fact, facilitates this access through the aforementioned WP:Book sources page.  Given the nature of that page and its pervasive use, that's precedent.
 * If you want to contend that WP:Book sources is violating copyright, take it up on whatever the appropriate dispute page is or take it up to a higher level if you feel that is appropriate. Don't keep reverting my edit, which is consistent with current WP use and practice. Fabrickator (talk) 17:36, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Hung Out (disambiguation)


A tag has been placed on Hung Out (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either
 * disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

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".

CpX41's Sandbox
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I have reverted this edit you made to my sandbox. While I appreciate the enthusiasm and welcome contributions to my sandbox, and can see your experience as an editor and good intent, I ask that you exercise a bit more caution with the formatting, a small change can really break the final rendering of the page. If you need to contact me, the best place to do so is on my talk page. Thanks! CpX41 (talk) 16:20, 21 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Please review WP:USERNOCAT. It lists other ways of suppressing content categories in user space. One of them to be applied. <span style="display:inline-block;position:relative;transform:rotate(-3deg);bottom:-.1em;">Paradoctor (talk) 16:26, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I see your reasoning, however, I want to point out explicitly that your new edit has negatively impacted how the page is rendered again. I recommend that you make use of the preview button in the source editor before publishing changes to ensure your edits are displayed as you intend them to and possibly review it after you have published your changes, this is especially important outside the main article space. I would advise you to use commenting out categorization or replacing it with a placeholder as a method of suppression, since that has a lower chance of unexpected side-effects. Thanks!

 * You realize this makes you look like an arrogant twit? I don't know how far your IP work extends back, but your user page appears to indicate that you're not a complete n00b. You should know better than to talk to experienced fellow editors like that.
 * I'm well aware of the alternative methods. I don't use them because they don't catch all cases, and are sometimes harder to reverse for the user. You don't like what the template does? Understandable. WP:SOFIXIT. Had you observed WP:USERNOCAT in the first place, we wouldn't even have to have had this conversation. 16:59, 21 February 2024 (UTC) <span style="display:inline-block;position:relative;transform:rotate(-3deg);bottom:-.1em;">Paradoctor (talk) 16:59, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I can see some frustration here, and my intention was not to offend you with my suggestion, if I did, I apologize, it's not a big deal, and I would appreciate you taking the heat out of this discussion. I have already addressed the issue and I do not wish to continue or escalate this discussion as it's resolved, let's move on. Thanks! CpX41 (talk) 17:43, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, I saw your edits after I posted my reply above. Apology accepted, no harm done. For future reference, I found this bit from WP:FOC very helpful: comment on content, not the contributor. It's hard for things to get personal when nobody about persons. <span style="display:inline-block;position:relative;transform:rotate(-3deg);bottom:-.1em;">Paradoctor (talk) 17:49, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I find that things escalate very quickly when they get personal, so I stay away from it where I can. People will always disagree, and the advice of WP:CIV works very well outside WMF projects and even offline. Otherwise, I do my best to understand all sides and draw some conclusion at the end when it's settled. CpX41 (talk) 10:51, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Your revert
Hello Paradoctor,

you undid my edit on TR. Could you give a further explanation as I couldn't find one with your shortcut? Thanks! Ankermast (talk) 20:52, 7 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Of course. MOS:DABMENTION:If the topic is not mentioned in the other article, that article should not be linked to in the disambiguation page, since linking to it would not help readers find information about the sought topic.
 * If you can find some source(s) supporting adding a mention of the initialism TR to Transrapid, then do that. This will then permit restoring your edit. HTH <span style="display:inline-block;position:relative;transform:rotate(-3deg);bottom:-.1em;">Paradoctor (talk) 21:03, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Additional information at WP:DABABBREV and MOS:DABINITIALISM. Should've led with that, sorry. <span style="display:inline-block;position:relative;transform:rotate(-3deg);bottom:-.1em;">Paradoctor (talk) 21:10, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

ANI - Deletions of (article) talk page material
There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Chaheel Riens (talk) 20:59, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Why I submitted it (Internationale der Kriegsdienstgegner/innen) for deletion
The user in question made a lot of vandalistic edits, and his username literally had the word "semen" in it. I don't think he intends to contribute. Waylon (was) (here) 18:22, 27 March 2024 (UTC)


 * That does not justify indiscriminately speedying valid edits. At all. <span style="display:inline-block;position:relative;transform:rotate(-3deg);bottom:-.1em;">Paradoctor (talk) 18:25, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
