Citing sources
If you want your contributions to look their best, would you check out WP:citing sources. Most of it is rather heavy going, so you may prefer to concentrate on template:cite news to start. But if you don't have time, see WP:REFILL (which is what I used) to fix wp:bare URLs.

But most important of all: it is better to have an 'ugly' reference than no reference: anybody can make a reference look pretty but it takes work to find the reference in the first place. Contentious material added without a citation just gets deleted.

Again, welcome to Wikipedia. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 15:54, 15 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Many thanks, I will keep that in mind going forward. --Polynesia2024 (talk) 17:01, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

Regimentsgruss moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Regimentsgruss, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

COIN
Hi, just a couple reminders: You must notify users when you open a discussion on WP:COIN. Also, be very careful and observe WP:OUTING. Many people have gotten indefinite bans for violations. I don't know if you reached that level, but be very, very careful. Cheers, --SVTCobra 02:24, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for following up. I had notified the user: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Mikeh101#Notice_of_Conflict_of_interest_noticeboard_discussion, apologies in case it got lost. --Polynesia2024 (talk) 07:56, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

Unreferenced sources in BLP
Regarding Klaus Schwab. Remember to add references when you put a sentence into a BLP. Each sentence needs a reference. It is really important. Please don't do it again.  scope_creep Talk  11:59, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the hint. The entire section is referenced by a book about Klaus Schwab: Jürgen Dunsch: Host of the Mighty: Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum in Davos. FinanzBuch Verlag 2016. I should have highlighted this more clearly though. --Polynesia2024 (talk) 14:10, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, but its not a hint, its a requirement per policy. When your adding content, you need to ensure your not damaging other references, like you have done. I've reverted it. Take a look at WP:REFB that will show you how to create a proper refernces. As its a BLP, putting in bare urls, raw urls is not acceptable now.    scope_creep Talk  14:38, 28 November 2021 (UTC)


 * It's simple to create a ref name and then repeat the ref name instead of the whole citation, for each sentence. Instructions are at WP:REFNAME. -- Softlavender (talk) 07:04, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

odd choice of template
At World Economic Forum, did you really mean to use literature in this citation? I might have used cite news or cite web. There is no cite literature so best I let you choose how to correct. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 10:45, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the hint - cite web would be the right choice here. I will amend accordingly. --Polynesia2024 (talk) 12:44, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

January 2022
Hello, I'm Dewritech. I noticed that you recently removed content from Klaus Schwab without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.  Dewritech (talk)  18:52, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Dear @Dewritech, I thought I had written as a summary: "Point of view. There are different sources that say his father got a managerial role in Ravensburg/Germany afterwards particularly due to the circumstances of the Third Reich."


 * The source the other author provided with his text says something completely different regarding Hitler. Quote: "When Hitler came to power in Germany, Schwab's father was asked to represent Swiss industrial interests in Germany, and so Schwab's parents moved to Ravensburg (Germany) despite the looming war." It does not say anything about escaping his tyranny, as highlighted by the user. --Polynesia2024 (talk) 04:29, 30 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello Polynesia2024. I added info that Gestapo monitored the family and interrogated his mother.-- Dewritech (talk)  15:31, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

INSEEC
Hi Polynesia2024, I have been editing several universities and cities articles so far. I noticed that INSEEC's article was clumsily written, in an advertisement-like fashion. I decided to clean it, tone it down to a neutral, encyclopedic style, with the following conditions: statements must remain factual, legitimate and well-sourced. I noticed, that many sources & Wikipedia articles confirm that the Conférence des Grandes Ecoles is a French league of elite Universities. INSEEC is part of this league, although it's ranked around the 20th best. Fair enough and very true. Comparatively, in the Ivy league, Dartmouth or Brown are, for a long time, not in the world's or US top 10 anymore (according to Forbes: respectively 11th and 26th; and in the 100th and 50th worldwide according to ARWU), and yet, this fact does not challenge their acknowledgment as Ivy League Universities. Why should INSEEC be considered otherwise? Other Grande Ecoles on Wikipedia compare themselves with the Ivy League, and yes there are more Grande Ecoles than Ivy League Schools (250 Grande Ecole Engineering Schools, around 40 in Business and a handful of other Institutions in Science and Political Science). However, Grande Ecole rankings, unlike the above-mentioned Forbes rankings, take ONLY into account Grand Ecoles. So INSEEC may be oscillating around the 20th, we're still talking about a handful of elite Schools. In other words, it's not the best elite school, but if we do a comparison "à la Forbes/ARWU", i.e. a general ranking, it still remains in the top (there are several hundreds business schools in France and Universities which are NOT Grande Ecoles). Finally, that doesn't mean that we have to challenge the status of Grande Ecole either, because one of the member of a league of 40 elite business schools is ranked 20th; otherwise, this would mean that Dartmouth and Brown no longer have the right to be Ivy League members either; or that quite a few articles of other Grande Ecole Business and Engineering Schools on Wikipedia would need to be accordingly edited, in the same way that you suggested for INSEEC. Again, I will be glad to edit and delete any unsubstantial boast regarding INSEEC or another university / city, but the other way around (e.g. your suggestions) should be equally substantiated too. Thanks for the input. I'll be more vigilant about that in the future. Mediterraneo 138430 (talk) 08:24, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Manière De Voir


A tag has been placed on Manière De Voir, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.
