Need attention
Hello! An old dispute that you were involved in has been brought up again. Your opinion is greatly valued. Thank you! KevinNinja (talk) 00:18, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Der zürnenden Diana
In Cathinka Buchwieser, we need to translate the caption and the title of the song, which is "Der zürnenden Diana", which means "To the ... Diana". Afaik, the old-fashioned "zürnen" is much more serious than "quarrel". I find "get angry", and also "rage against". "Zorn", from which it is derived, comes as anger, wrath, rage, fury ... - no quarrel. Perhaps "raging" comes closest, as "zürnen" is derived from a verb. "To the raging Diana"? - This has "To Diana in her wrath". - this doesn't translate the title, but describes her as a force of destruction. - All of which still doesn't cover the caption. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:35, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure, at this distance,, where I picked up "quarrelsome" from. Thought it was the image's commons descripton, but no. I'm happy that the caption be improved and profess no competence whatsoever in the questions you're raising. That said, can I throw some questions back at you...
 * Based on the commons file name, and the existing caption, are we not looking at an image celebrating Schubert's treatment of Der Fischer (Goethe) and if so, is not the right-most person the mermaid, and is she not trying to pull the fisher-person into the water? If so, the caption might be altered to allude to this?
 * If CB is the middle of the three people, the caption should say "Centre:" rather than "Left:" ... Schubert is on the left
 * If she is Diana, then yes, wrathful probably much better than quarrelsome.
 * hth --Tagishsimon (talk) 14:39, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I confess that I'd love to learn more on that painting, which is from a tryptich, to make things worse. I agree with the mermaid as the right person, but don't think she needs to be mentioned on Buchwieser's article. Fischer seems to be the title of the right panel of three, - I wouldn't know where to find the others. The bow in "Diana's" hands points at the first line of the "zürnenden" poem, "Ja, spanne nur den Bogen, mich zu tödten" . Seems more than one scene on that panel, and here's the left. Even if we agree that Diana is a reference to Buchwieser, it doesn't say she posed nude for it, or does it somewhere? I doubt it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:09, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * So the right panel is a mash-up of CD as Diana replacing the fisherman in Der Fischer, seems to be the interim conclusion? Agree we do not need to mention the mermaid, but we should mention Der Fischer & Goethe? From where comes the knowledge that the centre person is CB ... I guess I should ask, though I take it on trust. --Tagishsimon (talk) 15:18, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Can't follow ;) - I see poor Schubert, in the centre, - killed by Diana and torn to the water by the nymph, - between two dangerous women. I guess I'll word the DYK without the nude. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:23, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I see. I'd read it completely differently, and wrongly. I had Schubert on the pedestal, but that's our CB as Diana. I had CB as the person in the middle, but that's Schubert. "CB as Diana adopts a pose, indifferent to Schubert being dragged to his death in a rendering of Goethe's Der Fischer. Perhaps she didn't like his music after all.". There. Fixed it for you. --Tagishsimon (talk) 16:40, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Willing to help
I’m willing to help with the Wikidata task you started at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women in Red. I have a tech-ish background, and I learn fast, but I need some help learning how to edit the code. Would you be willing to teach me enough to get started on this? NotARabbit (talk) 21:07, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Ahah! Investigating your diff, I can see that the edit you made was not on Wikidata, but on the project list page. That should be easy enough to replicate; I’ll start at the other end of the alphabet for occupations. Please do check in on a couple of my edits and make sure I’m doing them right, though. NotARabbit (talk) 21:22, 9 May 2018 (UTC)


 * (ec) That would be great, NotARabbit@undefined, thank you. It's fairly easy: pick a redlist, edit it, check if it has the wrong statements in it, and if so, delete the statements and insert the right statement ... this diff shows it fairly well.
 * We remove  (but only where it is on its own. It if is in the form OPTIONAL { ?sitelink schema:about ?item . } we leave it alone because it is being used to count sitelinks,
 * We remove  (and note that the variable name may be different - not ?wfr but ?wen or ?somethingelse ... doesn't matter).
 * we insert
 * save, then hit the "Automatically update the list now " link ... Listeria will do its stuff.
 * If it doesn't work (i.e. the SPARQL is incorrect), there'll probably be no change in the page; or else the page will have zero rows. You can revert the edit.
 * I normally check the history to see that listeria has written a new page, which has more bytes in it, so, this sort of thing
 * ping me as you need. I will check your edits (though I have to attack some plaster with steam and menaces ... DIY time :( --Tagishsimon (talk) 21:28, 9 May 2018 (UTC) --Tagishsimon (talk) 21:26, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Whoops, I pinged you on the project page instead of here. Sorry to scatter this! Anyway, I’ve only made two edits so far, and both of them increased the page by a whole lot: and . Both had that SERVICE command that I mentioned on the project page, which I didn’t touch.


 * ”Menaces”?! Are you threatening your walls? :-D In about 45 minutes, I’ll be starting my own DIY job—trying to clean out my patio. Good luck on whatever you’re doing, and thanks for your help! NotARabbit (talk) 22:18, 9 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Okay, I’m stopping now, because when I ran the bot after editing on the journalists list, the list decreased by 484,179 bytes. I think that was because there was a typo in the original code ( instead of  ). Which brings me to a serious conundrum: is okay to interchange ,  , and  ? I was copying the text of your edit on mathematicians, and now realize that I’ve been replacing everything willy-nilly as I go. I don’t want to compound the error, if it is an error, so I’ll go do my chores now. Back later. NotARabbit (talk) 22:48, 9 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Checking ... footballers=good. Poets - you left the  in ... needs to be removed (I've done). Playrights - ditto, needed to remove   (done). Novelists - ditto - done. Journalists - yes, you're right, the SPARQL as you found it was wrong. You were correct to make both variable names the same ... doesn't matter what the name is, does matter that it is the same. It's saying "there's a value which is a sitelink, and the same value is a member of en.wiki." If you use different variables names, then it reads 'there is a value which is a site link, and there is a different value which is part of en.wiki.'. So there are two errors we're trying to correct ... footballers you corrected both. The others you corrected one out of the two, which is why the row lengths increased; but I fixed the other, which is why they increased again. And you fixed the Journalists error just for the hell of it. Journalists dropped by a large amount because it has been broken since October 2017, and in that time has had the limit lowered from 5000 to 2000. So. All good; thanks for doing those, and I hope SPARQL is becoming a little clearer. It's great stuff.
 * In my 1880's Victorian flat, a previous occupant did the equivalent of this, but using some sort of plaster over intricately detailed ceiling mouldings. What were roses, leaves, stems, etc, became blobs. I've done a couple of metres. I think I have about 30 metres to go. Painstaking & filthy ... blast with steam, peel away the paint layer, get the plaster wet, poke with plastic things, and repeat. What's emering is gorgeous. I hope your patio is now a delight :) --Tagishsimon (talk) 23:18, 9 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Oh, those are variables! Now it makes sense that they’re different! I’m sorry about missing the, and thank you for cleaning those up.


 * Your project sounds grueling but immensely rewarding. It reminds me of a time when I was little and my dad bought us an old upright piano. The previous owners had painted it, thickly and badly. He spent months stripping and refinishing it; it turned out to be beautiful rosewood underneath. Unfortunately, my patio will never be anything other than utilitarian, but thank you for your good wishes. I’ll get back to editing now. NotARabbit (talk) 01:58, 10 May 2018 (UTC)


 * When you have a chance, could you take a look at the list of scientists? I’m afraid I missed a bracket or something. (I reverted myself.) NotARabbit (talk) 02:55, 10 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Turns out that the list of feminists has been broken for a while. I finally got it to run after 3 tries, and it went from 3 entries (none of whom were necessarily feminists, and one that already has an article on en.wiki) to 372! You might want to check to see that the rest of the code is all right. NotARabbit (talk) 04:59, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Same for cartoonists. That one hasn’t run for more than a year. NotARabbit (talk) 07:24, 10 May 2018 (UTC)


 * The two of you are doing a great job here. I hope you can keep it up and eliminate all the errors. Would it be useful to draw up guidelines for WIR showing how to compile a new red list based for example on an occupation (with just one query) and another based on an occupation comprising two or more variants (i.e. several profession queries)? This would allow other editors to add new lists as needed. In addition (or alternatively), you could provide us with examples of what you consider to be good examples of red link lists of these two types.--Ipigott (talk) 09:03, 10 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Afternoon. Good job on the Feminists; very satisfying to see broken redlists discovered and fixed. I've had a look at the three above and tweaked where necessary. Scientists, if I remember, had a filter written as FILTER(NOT EXISTS {some stuff})} where normally we expect FILTER NOT EXISTS {some stuff} ... i.e. it used parenthesis, and also included the } which terminates the query rather than having it on the line below. I'll join you later in fixing some more. And yes, there was an Abigail's Party period in the UK where mouldings, fireplaces & wood panel doors were covered up; tiling removed or painted over, and woodwork - your piano - painted in jaunty colours. Unimaginable now, but I guess it made sense then. (Just noticed - good grief, you've finished By Occupation. I feel ashamed of my sloth ... well done; very good work.) --Tagishsimon (talk) 13:12, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Nationality - the queries there seem to be missing a  ... i.e. they're not checking the item is a human, but assuming that a female with an occupation is a human. I've not corrected this in the By Nationality - A; might go back and do so later. The most harm the omission will do, is to include some fictional characters in the lists ... and very few of them. WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by nationality/Afghanistan varies from the others - it's looking at several different properties in an item, for country=Afghanistan .. such as 'Country for Sport'. I need some time to convince myself of its approach before I apply it more widely; and right now I've run out of time. this diff shows what I did for Afghanistan ... mainly fixed the normal error; made it neater by inserting line breaks, and added in the P31 doodab. Have fun. --Tagishsimon (talk) 13:43, 10 May 2018 (UTC)


 * I'll write a wee guide and do some commenting of model queries and ping you when that's ready. I kinda defected to wikidata a year or so ago, and have been geeking over SPARQL ever since, although I remain a novice. Talk to me about long lists ... do we split them, e.g. long_list A-M, long_list N-Z? Do we want 15 or so redlist pages for actresses, of whom there are 39k? And if so, split by what? First letter of the name? Time period? Country? What are your thoughts? --Tagishsimon (talk) 13:12, 10 May 2018 (UTC)


 * I'm not too keen on further splits. The actresses are a special case and attract huge Wikipedia coverage with or without red lists. Those interested in working specifically on actresses, can find useful listings by simply using the appropriate nationality-based lists. Same applies to models. So I would just leave things as they are.--Ipigott (talk) 13:20, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

That list of occupations
My SPARQL skills are still extremely rudimentary; I can “read” much better than I can “write” in the language. But I keep lurching along.

Your WQS report is dismaying! Not for the numbers in various occupations, but for the list of occupations themselves. There are 39,911 Q33999 (actor), but that number is incomplete unless you include Q15290732 (Actress), of which there are 5. There are acrobatic gymnasts and acrobatic gymnastics, archaeologists and archaeologists of the Roman provinces, acting and acting coaches, action films and activism, accompaniments and accompanists, agricultural scientists, agriculture, and agronomists. And that’s just dipping into the A’s.

It makes me want to dive in and start merging and correcting all that mess. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that Wikidata is just as allovertheplace as all the other projects! I think I was misled by the work “structured” in “structured data” — I thought that meant it would be orderly. Instead, it’s just as rambunctious and disordered as other human endeavors!

I’ll stop ranting on your talk page now. NotARabbit (talk) 02:40, 14 May 2018 (UTC)


 * It is a bit messy around the edges, yes. All the mistakes you could hope to see made, made. But oftimes when you dive into the detail it comes down to language issues and bad labelling ... I looked at a couple of forester occupations, where it looks like one is your average tree-chopper, and the other a more professional role - German, I think - which we might term an aborioculturalist. As to various degrees of archeologists ... it may be that (should be) that we can have families of occupations, where one - archaeologists of the Roman provinces - are a subclass of another - archaeologists.
 * All of that is not to say that it's not a great big - but glorious - mess. Dig in :) --Tagishsimon (talk) 02:55, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

FILTER NOT EXIST etc. may not be necessary
Hi! I discovered that Wikidata list has a lovely little built-in parameter that we can take advantage of for our redlists:. If you set it to, it removes “entries for which there exists a local article”. Very handy, and it works. Simplifies the SPARQL query. Cheers! NotARabbit (talk) 23:31, 20 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Good spot, NotARabbit. I'm guessing Listeria takes our query, and makes it part of a nested query in which Listeria does things like make the results distinct; gets labels; and with your new parameter, does the FILTER NOT EXISTS trick. I'm probably not going to rush to implement it, though, mainly for the reasons that there are advantages in being able to move the list query into WDS to play with it there; and advantages for anyone who reads the code but is unaware (like me up to 2 mins ago) that the template will do the removal trick. We should give the autolist parameter a spin sometime, see what it does. In the lists I did today (and thank you for your kind words) I'll direct your attention to the Rest of world list, wherein a series of  statements remove items which appear in the other country lists. There is a task to be done of looking through the Rest of World lists for country values that could be added to a country list (and deducted from the Rest of World with an additional MINUS statement). And in the Writers - Russia list we see the handling for multiple countries  - another VALUES statement. --Tagishsimon (talk) 00:03, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I like the MINUS statements, especially where you used  to stand in for an object of “any value”. I’ve been using it to find just how many geologists we’ve been missing because no one specified their gender. (Most of them are difficult to figure out unless you know their native language, but I’ve found a few Georges, Borises, and Neldas.) And while adding some explanatory comments to the list of scientists, I realized that NO earth scientists were included (humph!), so there’s not much overlap with the list I made. :-) NotARabbit (talk) 04:43, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Yup, I think you've wrung out as many females as are identifiable by eye in that list. A few tempting but possible false positives left. Do you fancy looking again at the occupations you've excluded ... some look earth sciency to me, but I know nothing of that discipline: I bunked out of geography classes in school and took metalwork instead. Handy with a lathe or molten aluminium; less useful with a rock hammer. And there might be others that could be folded into the geologists list? We could do with an accessible index of occupations mapped to redlists ... I might have a play with that later. --Tagishsimon (talk) 12:27, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Wikidata lists on librarians and curators
I think WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by occupation/Librarians and WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by occupation/Curators may benefit from your helping hand.--Ipigott (talk) 07:26, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Actresses, painters, politicians, writers
I appreciate all the work you have been doing on the Wikidata lists and the templates but I've just been trying to access WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by occupation/Actresses from the Redlist index and found it was no longer there, having been replaced by WikiProject_Women_in_Red/Redlist_index which points to lists by country. I see the same process has been implemented for painters, politicians and writers. I think it is rather unfortunate that the main lists have disappeared as I frequently make use of them to search, for instance, for actresses who died many years ago (wherever they came from) or for those who were both actresses and singers, etc., etc. I know you have been concerned that these general lists have not been able to display all the potential names but those already listed can be very useful when we are searching for pertinent articles which comply with specific criteria. Would it not be possible to include the longer lists before each item (actresses, painters, politicians, writers) on the "Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_in_Red/Redlist_index#actresses" listing, possibly with a word of explanation? Rather than simply being bold and reinserting them myself, it would be useful to have reactions from and .--Ipigott (talk) 10:58, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I am just grateful to have lists. For me it makes no difference how many there are, or how they are sorted, because I always sort the list by death date, try to find a dearly departed with sources and if not then look at the BLPs. If I don't find one there, that floats my boat, I look for another list. SusunW (talk) 14:02, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
 * If you are finding the lists useful, odds are you aren't alone and it would be good to have more lists like you specify available. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 17:20, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for these comments. I've tried to include them as discreetly as possible for those of us who find them useful. I also see that following my earlier suggestion, has gone ahead and created the following categores: Category:Women in Red redlink lists (by dictionary), Category:Women in Red redlink lists (by nationality), Category:Women in Red redlink lists (by occupation) and Category:Women in Red redlink lists (by time period). Not only do these categories provide an alternative method of finding pertinent lists, they help to ensure that any which happen to be missing from other listings can be identified through their categories. I see that appropriate headers, etc., have also been added, even to the most recent ones. Great work, Headbomb!--Ipigott (talk) 06:22, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

New Page Patrol?
Hi Tagishsimon,

I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join New Page Patrol, and from your editing history, I think you would be a good candidate. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; we could use some additional help from an experienced user like yourself.

Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? (After gaining the flag, patrolling is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly read the tutorial before making your decision. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR.

Cheers, and hope to see you around, —  Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)  21:20, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

Stupidity
If you feel the need to complain about the stupidity of others, then at least make sure that you know the difference between a speedy and a prod. Furthermore, Sebastiana de Jesus Salcedo is unknown as such (no Google books hits at all for that name). You may see some obvious reason why that prod was extremely stupid, bubt the least you could have done was to improve the article to remove the reason for the prod. Otherwise you are just throwing around empty insults, which is not really useful. Fram (talk) 16:37, 3 November 2018 (UTC)


 * The obvious reasons why the prod was stupid were a) you argued that the subject was largely forgotten. That's a stupid reason for deleting an article. Most of the subjects of our articles are lagely forgotten. You argued that the references were not independent of the subject; yet there was no obvious connection between the five dead-tree refs, and the iirc C17 subject; nor is there much likelihood that you reviewed the content of the refs, since they were no online. No gbooks ghits != lack of notability. I'm not clear, given the foregoing, what you anticipate I might have done. Take out an full page advert in the WaPo to publicise her? hth --Tagishsimon (talk) 19:57, 3 November 2018 (UTC)


 * The sources were not independent, she was (according to the deleted article) a Dominican nun, and we got sources like the "Dominican Provincial Chapter" (a source which is completely unverifiable) or a source from the "Congregation of the Dominican Sisters", two other sources written by Dominicans, and a source by the "Mother Francisca Commission", which again is a Dominican organisation. So all sources in the article were by Dominicans, about a Dominican sister. That's a rather obvious and clear connection. An organisation writing about their own history is not an independent source. So what you might have done, instead of simply removing the prod with an insulting message, was checking whether any independent sources for this person were available, and then either improving the article with them, or endorsing the prod.

Hi there. Just a quick note that you should always consider alternatives to deletion before tagging an article for (speedy) deletion. In this case (Mary marquardt), a redirect to Ford's article was obviously the better alternative to deletion and you could have done so yourself. Regards So  Why  11:06, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

Can you let me know when you have finished messing with this. I was in the middle of merging the text when you swooped in and started redirecting when I was in mid-edit. Please note Use Australian English, Use DMY dates. Please use Queensland Globe for the geography as that is the authoritative source. Kerry (talk) 01:50, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
 * @Kerry Raymond: All done now.
 * Tagishsimon, please remember to follow appropriate attribution guidelines when merging content from one page to another page (see Copying within Wikipedia). I performed a "history merge" to preserve attribution, but in general a page cannot be deleted once content from the page has been merged elsewhere. Let me know if you have any questions about this.

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 11:20, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Chilling
As is probably painfully obvious, I'm not a Wikipedia user but I appreciate your support against that VintageFeminist lady. I came in with good intentions but I'm finding myself repeatedly attacked by her. I assume it's because I'm "attacking" the arguments put forward by Rachel parent and her anti-GMO pro-organic website and entire narrative. I've confirmed that the website was set up by Wayne Parent of Nutrition House (as others had already noted) but apparently that's not enough either. I sense an air of misandry about this and it's making me uncomfortable. Wikipedia isn't really my thing as should be obvious from my mea culpas. I have nothing against Rachel, but her message isn't just wrong, it's deliberately deceitful. Any simple fact checking on the site shows a typical anti-science bent and a deep connection to a web of the usual suspects like Vandana Shiva and Jeffery Smith. I have other questions I need to ask them but, coming from traditional media as I do, you won't accept my word unless I have citations on "reputable" site. It's a circular problem to a degree. Sorry for moaning but I'm getting discouraged from trying to help. Smidoid (talk) 23:55, 1 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia and wikipedians can be a bit of a steamroller, I'm afraid, Smidoid. I'm not entirely sure where VintageFeminist is coming from; and from long experience here, I'm not going to spend any time wondering about that element. It's generally best for all concerned that we assume good faith in our fellow editors - and assume the same good faith in those less familiar with Wikipedia, such as youself. I don't think the response to your intervention was handled well, and I've said my piece on that elsewhere. I'm sorry - and unsurprised - that you find it depressing & discouraging.
 * As to the article itself, it is a great problem that we have a plethora of completely uncritical 'reliable sources' charting her ascent to some minor notability, and iirc only the HuffPo article with which to rebut her questionable argument. That said, I think GreenMeansGo has done a very good job in reshaping the article and introducing the Criticism section. The artice has a much better balance; it sets out in neutral terms the basics of her story and press reaction to it; lends no support to her views; and provides a rebuttal of her views in no uncertain terms. The critical reader should come away with an understanding that her platform is found to be questionable. Of course, the uncritical reader will leave the article with whatever view they had when they entered it. Anti-GMO folk will dismiss the criticism; Anti-anti-GMO folk will nod in understanding of the criticism and sigh.
 * I'm sorry that - and again, I understand why - the whole reliable sources business is getting you down. Sometimes the best that can be done is the sort of thing that GMG has done. Of course, if you can turn anything else up, that would be great; but it probably won't change the price of bread. Her story will remain the same. Uncritical press coverage of her will remain. Wikipedia will be honour bound to report those things in neutral terms. It's very unlikely that anything we find will alter much the section of the article above the criticism section. We might find more sources for the criticism, but tbh the views reported there are sufficiently unequivocal that adding more of the same will not actually add significantly to readers' understanding. And of course, I accept the nexus of Parent, her parents, and fringe views such as Shiva and Smith which, unfortunatly, have currency in this wretched anti-expert society we find ourselves in.
 * There you go. Not sure if any of that helps. But always happy to talk about it, and to lend support to the aim of improving the quality of the article if that can be done. --Tagishsimon (talk) 00:31, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you. That's very supportive. My only other experience of any rate, is over the Hedy Lamarr/FHSS invention claim - and has been similarly drowned out. This is an area of my own expertise and I've done a considerable amount of on and off Internet digging to get to the truth. The results were not dissimilar in that case. I found myself attacked over original research because the entire narrative has been captured by those who believe the story promulgated by her fanbase. It all stems from a poorly checked patent and one of Hedy's fans. I've expanded on Dr. Tony Rothman's work and managed to join the dots to discover the ID third person (alluded to by Lamar in a press clipping but never named). This was the man (and there lies a major issue, he's man and Lamar has become a feminist icon) who actually designed the electronics aided by Hedy's friend, George Antheil. He is not named on the patent of course. However, in any case the technology was invented by the Germans in WW1 and before that (in a very crude form) by Nikola Tesla at the back end of the 19th century. Lamarr did some good things for the war effort but a lot of what she says (including a claim of rape - a charge quickly dropped and that resulted in a civil case that she subsequently lost) are fictions. The entire story which spans far more than has ever been covered by Wikipedia (or, to my knowledge, any other writer) spans decades and even connects loosely to the capture of the Enigima machine from the "U571". It's claimed that the FHSS tech was ignored by the US Navy but the reality is, it solved a problem that it didn't have. The torpedoes were "missing" not because US Sub commanders couldn't shoot straight - but rather that explosive charge weight slightly more than the dummy warheads used in testing with the result that the projectile sank well below its target over the 1-2km firing range and failed to detonate. As you might guess, there's a lot more behind this but I tire of fighting on the Internet and I'll have to try and find a publisher brave enough to face off against the likely pushback. Lamarr has been inducted into the American Inventors Hall of Fame for something that, the secret history shows, she had very little do with. Smidoid (talk) 14:25, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Well there's a very remarkable coincidence. I used to correspond with someone - now dead - who knew Hedy Lamarr, holidayed with her, etc, and who scorned the Hedy patent story. We discussed the truth versus received wisdom of that case. Small world. Presuming you have set up email options in your wikipedia preferences, you could use this link to drop me an email, and I'll share some of what I was told. --Tagishsimon (talk) 14:40, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
 * that IS interesting. I've dropped you an internal PM with my private email so we can discuss. You might have better luck than I did overturning this story on Wikipedia anyway- a lot of people stand to lose a lot of face over this. There are books dedicated to it and even one that claims FHSS was used to help defuse the Bay of Pigs. A lot of the stuff is still highly classified of course so I can only piece together the stuff that's in the public archives but this is another piece of propaganda that really needs to be overturned. There are far more inspiring women who are frequently overlooked or sidelined: Rosalind Franklin, "Amazing" Grace and so on. Hedy was popular because of that that infernal Halo Effect. Same reason (I expect) that Vani Hari and Rachel Parent also got/get so much unchecked coverage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smidoid (talk • contribs) 18:05, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

 * As much or little as you like. It never stops. I had a look just now; add award to those who already have a wikidata item; add wikidata items for those without; find some additional attributes for the added person, and add the award; realise the book or paper doesn't exists so add that; realise there are a bunch of papers which have an 'author name string' rather than an author value, so need changing. Fortunately none of us are under any obligation to complete all of that. I can see myself doing more tonight; I'll let you know how I got on at the end of the evening. --Tagishsimon (talk) 20:56, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Great! user:Arachn0 is helping adding new IDs reported via a ruwiki-page. But 57 new IDs during the last ~24 hours might be good for batch: ru:Википедия:Форум/Викиданные/BBLD_ID I would have done it directly, but Jura1 not only vandalized P2580 - removing valid IDs from 1000+ items, which Magnus Manske than run a batch to fix - insert fake constraints etc. (some of Baltic Historic Commission not happy about that), but also managed to prevent editing via IP of P2580 and the P2580 statements. So, all BBLD fixes that I find, I report somewhere else so that others can apply them ... What is achieved? More work for others, slower progress with Wikimedia projects. He also tried to intimidate other users, several times successful, but not e.g. with this very helpful user.
 * BTW, the BBLD has now 1380 IDs based on ISNI, but these are not necessarily the current preferred/primary ISNI, as those can change without notice. ISNI-IA is very bad WRT transparency and working error free. 77.191.114.98 (talk) 03:31, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

That is a chance to check all BBLD IDs in Wikidata. Could you Step 1) remove ALL current references Step 2) add references to all IDs found in .txt [found in BBLD, timestampeXY]?

Small detail
The album is properly titled "Moon And Sand". I don't know why the artist chose to capitalize the "A" in "and," but there it is on the cover. I would add a picture of the cover if I had any facility with that kind of thing. Regards, Hamster Sandwich (talk) 02:53, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

The covers that I've seen have the entire title in uppercase - e.g. https://www.allmusic.com/album/moon-and-sand-mw0000611944 and https://www.discogs.com/Kenny-Burrell-Moon-And-Sand/release/3658420 so I'm puzzled as to why you would come to this page and make the above claim, as if a title of AND must always be rendered as And. Are you suggesting now that the wikipedia article should be all uppercase? Or have you merely decided that your title-case And is better than a conventional lower-case and? --Tagishsimon (talk) 03:03, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the prompt reply! I thought I would answer your various questions in point form:
 * 1. I came to this page because you made an edit that I had the question about. I didn't see a point in asking someone else about it.
 * 2. I do not understand where I made an inference that anything should always be anything. I did not make any suggestions to any generalizations of WP:MOS
 * 3. I have not "merely decided" anything. Not at this point, anyways.


 * In closing, I was attempting to discern that perhaps unlike other entries in article space with the same title, this one might be different. Perhaps not. I'm not tied to any of my edits in Wikipedia. None of us should be. Regards, Hamster Sandwich (talk) 03:16, 17 December 2018 (UTC)


 * You came to this page asserting that the album is properly titled "Moon And Sand". You briefly touched on your inability to say why the artist decided to capitalise the A, reinforcing your assertion that the album is properly titled "Moon And Sand". You vouchsafed as evidence a youtube of the album cover in which the title is all in uppercase. The evidence you provided does not support your assertion. So. I remain puzzled. --Tagishsimon (talk) 03:23, 17 December 2018 (UTC)


 * In the absence of any consensus on capitalisation of the work - and google searches suggest there is not consensus - I take it you will agree that Naming conventions (capitalization) should apply? --Tagishsimon (talk) 03:33, 17 December 2018 (UTC)


 * I agree with whatever the current standard naming conventions for WP articles are. The YouTube entry displays the title as I described. It is, of course not a good source for a citation. And since each letter of the cover shot is indeed a capitalized letter, it falls to someone like yourself to correct the edit. I did make an assertion of the artists intent based on bad information from a weak source.
 * I should repeat, to stress the point: I am not tied to any of my edits in Wikipedia. My hope is to make a baseline shot, and other people come along a shine it up. On the other hand, it's nice to be able to do that for some of the total shit that passes for writing in mainspace as well. But I'm never willing to argue much over other peoples editing. Especially when it concerns a trivial article for lovely album I just happened to listen to today, and there was no article to describe it. Now there is, and my thanks to you for your help.

Chikakiyo's daughters
Hey, thanks for connecting Chikakiyo's fifth daughter to a WikiData item. I was aware of the ja.wiki article earlier, but unfortunately I don't agree with what they've done over there, and am planning on creating separate articles on Chikakiyo's fourth daughter, Chikakiyo's daughter and Chikakiyo's daughter's younger sister. User:Hijiri88/Inter-WAM/2019/003 is what I've got done so far, but I'm considering putting the project on hold until we can get community consensus on how to format the names of these and similar articles. (The most famous are Takasue's daughter, Shunzei's daughter and Michitsuna's mother but I've found at least a dozen or so more.)

At the very least the topic merits two separate articles since the fourth and fifth daughters were definitely different people, and once those two articles exist I'm not sure what to do about WikiData short of going to ja.wiki and requesting they follow suit and split the article there. Thoughts?

I'm mainly concerning myself with ensuring that were we have en.wiki articles on females, that they're minimally represented in Wikidata with a Q5 and female value ... all of that to ensure that WikiProject Women in Red statistics are up-to-date.


 * That said, now that I've looked in detail at the ja.wiki article, I'm thinking that Chikakiyo's fifth daughter should actually have its own wikidata item ... the ja.wiki linked item is presumably about the set of daughters? I'm reading the ja.wiki article via Google translate; it's not abundently clear. It would be useful if you can confirm my suspicion. (And if we do this, we can link the Chikakiyo's fifth daughter  to Q11483547 using part of / has part.)


 * I thoroughly support your aim of creating discrete articles, presuming there is enough content. I leave you to decide on whether you need to pause to secure name format consensus; equally article names can be changed later. --Tagishsimon (talk) 03:15, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm thinking that Chikakiyo's fifth daughter should actually have its own wikidata item ... the ja.wiki linked item is presumably about the set of daughters? That's right. He had at least two poet daughters, one of whom is known to history as the fourth daughter and the other as the fifth. He definitely had at least three other daughters (obviously!), but there is uncertainty as to whether the "Chikakiyo's daughter" and "Chikakiyo's daughter's younger sister" (mentioned in some other official court anthologies) might be the same two people as the fourth and fifth daughters, or one might be the same, or he had four daughters whose poems have come down to us. For this reason it seems ja.wiki just said "Fuck it -- one article on Chikakiyo's daughters".
 * Thank you for your support on the point about discrete articles. I will need to do a bit more work to determine whether the "daughter" and "daughter's younger sister" need their own articles or if the "fourth" and "fifth" daughters are enough (my preferred source, an encyclopedia of Japanese classical literature, has two articles on the fourth and fifth daughters, which both address the question that there may have been one or two more, and that might be the way to go).
 * Honestly the main reason I'm here is because I have no earthly idea how to give the fifth daughter her own WikiData entry. I was gonna hold off on WikiData and interwiki links until the above issues were resolved (normally I put the interwiki links in the article and the WikiData stuff to bots), but since you connected them on WikiData already I kinda feel it needs to be addressed first.
 * Hijiri 88 ( 聖やや ) 03:29, 19 December 2018 (UTC)


 * She has her own item now - Chikakiyo's fifth daughter and the ja.wiki iem is renamed (in English, at least) daughters of Chikakiyo. I'm happy to do any wikidata work you need doing - feel free to drop an article & instructions on me if you want something done. --Tagishsimon (talk) 04:04, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

WoRMS database
Hi Tagishsimon, I was approved by WoRMS to get access to a monthly data extract of their entire database in darwin core format. I now have a tab-delimited file that has 587,713 taxa. What is the best way to go about importing all of it into Wikidata? — Ganeshk (talk) 03:20, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Pinging  — Ganeshk (talk) 03:21, 6 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Very good news. Not sure. Pywikibot, maybe, if you're a python person. See also this tutorial. I'm not, and I cannot speak for it. Or, although your QS experience was not the best so far, QS batches will happily sit there for days or weeks at a time. OpenRefine, maybe? Big job! Thank goodnesss for Binomial nomenclature, otherwise duplicate detection would be a real pain. Having established that programming & bots are not my thing, if I can give any help, call on me. I'm good with SPARQL, fwiw. --Tagishsimon (talk) 03:42, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Please check and help me cover the week areas. Admin was User:StraussInTheHouse — Preceding unsigned comment added by Julia Hudson 1 (talk • contribs) 23:40, 24 January 2019 (UTC)


 * No. It's a dreadful article and will be deleted. Sorry about that. If you want to get the attention of the admin in question, try, but as he or she will tell you, it's a dreadful article and will be deleted. --Tagishsimon (talk) 23:45, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

 * The admin in question will not return until 4th Feb. The tag on the article now means it will be looked at by another admin, who will decide whether to speedy delete it. In the unlikely event it is not speedy deleted, I will take it to articles for deletion. I have to tell you that it is rare indeed that articles I mark for deletion are not deleted. I don't think this one will be an exception. --Tagishsimon (talk) 23:57, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

 * I've added an AfC template to it. But if you're just going to resubmit it through the AfC process, then we'll be back to where we were a few minutes ago. Whoever picks it up at AfC may or may not allow it back into article space. If they do, I'll mark it for deletion again. It remains a fundamentally bad article about a fundamentally bad and non-notable product. The very best thing to do would be to delete it and walk away. --Tagishsimon (talk) 00:27, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Reply: UK/CDT/GVCAC
Thank you for your comments, I understand that such titles are confusing to such amateurs, but I believe that in order for anyone to edit a page they must fully understand context and form/appearances of that page/subject. Please correct if I am wrong, but I believe you are not familiar with such, very professional and quality works of, either exhibit Template:Ranks and Insignia of NATO Navies/OF/United Kingdom or more appropriately for the subject exhibit Template:Ranks and Insignia of NZCF/CDT/ALL. I also believe that the page title acts as an address such as the NZCF/CDT/ALL is much similar to my own Template:Insignia of UK/CDT/CCF/RN.

If I have acted at all, it is to create a better and more professional page for my Combined Cadet Force or my Community Cadet Force. The GVCAC, which I am not even apart of, can keep it how it is if they like.

I thank you for rash and rather rude criticism and I shall in future ignore completely the GVCAC and try ad create less professional work.

Wiki linking of "Nihlism"?
This is a bit of a nit-picky question, but during your Six Heretical Teachers expansion, you included the piped wiki link nihlism. This seems odd to me because it links directly to the article "nihilism" but displays the misspelling "nihlism" (additionally, redirects to the common spelling). Why did you pipe the link like this? eπi ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 18:33, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

Authority control for Duos
I'm watching to see how you add the authority control tags to this! I left them out because I figured you would know what to do. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 02:51, 19 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Sadly, in the normal way. Wikidata now has three records; Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky, Trevor Mahovsky and Rhonda Weppler, and the first record is connected to the second & third by reciprocal 'has part' / 'part of' properties. Should there be identifiers for Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky as a duo, they'll appear on your article - you have invluded an authority control template in it. However identifiers for the individuals as individuals will not appear on your duo article. Should there ever be articles about each individual, then their identifiers would appear on their individual article.


 * Whether authority control should be able to pull identifiers from wikidata items that are not linked to the article is an interesting question. Certainly at the moment it is unable to do so. From a purist point of view, the duo is a distinct thing from the two individuals, and so authority control is doing the right thing. From a practical point of view, it can be argued that it would be desirable to add identifiers for the individuals to the duo article. It would be possible to do that by adding a couple of authority control templates in which the identifier parameters are specified within the template, rather than being pulled from wikidata. Bit of a cludge, though. --Tagishsimon (talk) 11:56, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

Raising a concern
Hi Tagishsimon, I have a concern about the WiR statistics. In the last day or so I've noticed a lot of Wikidata items being created by the bot User:GZWDer_(flood). It seems to create items for all sorts of Wikipedia articles and not just for English Wikipedia. But in many cases it only creates the item, so they won't come up on your list of "Instance of: human". An example is Q65047730, to which I have subsequently added a description, instance (human) and sex or gender (male). Another concern is that I have found and merged a number of Wikidata items created by this bot, which you will see if you look in my user contributions. Happy to provide examples if needed. Not sure how to handle this, hence am raising it with you. Oronsay (talk) 07:51, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Newest items about women writers from some language Wikipedia
Hi. Regarding WikiProject Women in Red/Newest items about women writers from some language Wikipedia, I'm trying to "Automatically update the list now", but keep getting the error message " ". Can you check the edit history and see if I screwed something up when I was re-arranging columns? Thanks. --Rosiestep (talk) 20:32, 9 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Sorry to butt in here,, but I find the title "from some language Wikipedia" rather confusing, especially as it is explained that "This is a list of 1000 most recently created human women writer items on Wikidata who have an article in English Wikipedia on Wikidata". I see, nevertheless, that Susan J. Matt is not yet listed on the EN wiki but only on FR. I thought perhaps the italics indicated articles on another language wiki but see that Amelia Minerva Starkweather is only on EN. I can see the items listed could be useful for both EN editors and those from other languages but it looks to me as if it would be useful to add more explanations. Perhaps after you have completed your modifications, the listing will be easier to follow. Maybe could also offer clarifications.--Ipigott (talk) 10:03, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Well my first thought was that it was timing out, but I rearranged the query and tried cutting it back to 500, rather than 1000, but nothing seems to help. The query runs fine in Wikidata query though here: try it - so maybe a problem with listeria? Jane (talk) 11:10, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, for checking out why it's not updating. If the issue is with Listeria, I assume it'll sort out at some point.  brings up some other points which should be addressed by those who are familiar with the list; I just became aware of it within the last couple of days. --Rosiestep (talk) 18:08, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I thought could answer my queries as she created the list.--Ipigott (talk) 19:36, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
 * The query is simple - it calls up ALL items with gender=female, article on +.wikipedia.org, then sorts the Q number in descending order. So it is the type of query that will timeout at some point because it calls up everything. I changed the text to say "some" instead of "English" because the query will stop at finding the first linked WP article in any language, so it is English+, not just English. Jane (talk) 08:19, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, . Any idea why many of the names are in italics? If we can get this sorted out, it may be useful to apply the same approach to other important occupations, e.g. artists. Maybe you also have some views on this, Tagishsimon?--Ipigott (talk) 10:28, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
 * The names in italics are items either associated with a Wikipedia other than en-wp, or the item is affiliated with another project, e.g. Wikisource. --Rosiestep (talk) 12:12, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I've just successfully updated the list now. I see it's only half as long and has additional columns.--Ipigott (talk) 10:32, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I am delighted to see that the list has been updated. I like the idea behind it, and I think it should not be too difficult to replicate for other occupations. Has it been added to the Redlist Index? --Rosiestep (talk) 11:26, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Additions to Wikidata since 8 July
Thanks a million for all the additions you have been making to Wikidata over the past few days. I see you have been adding all the WiR Listeria redlists as well as a considerable number of new articles, no doubt trying to cover the entries which would normally have been made by a bot. I have never received so many alerts. I did not realize I had started so many redlists. I must say I am now very relieved to have someone with real competence taking care of the Wikidata work. You are really doing a great job.--Ipigott (talk) 09:37, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree, Tagishsimon; it's wonderful to see that you've been adding the WiR redlists (Listeria-based and crowd-sourced, too) to Wikidata. Thank you!! Is there a way to generate a list of the ones which have been given a Wikidata item, and if so, can that list be in the form of a spreadsheet on en-wp, and can a link to it be placed on the WiR redlist index page? OR, are you keeping track of the ones which have a Wikidata item in some other way? --Rosiestep (talk) 18:46, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Just to say thanks for connecting Madalena Boavida to a Wikidata item - I'm sorry, I forgot to do it for her! As that didn't automatically bring up the German version of the article, I just checked, and found it was connected to Maria Boavida in Wikidata, so I've merged that to the item you created (which was newer, but had more information), and added more variant names there too.

"Laurie Heyer" (Q66857295)
Thanks for making this new data item. But can you please explain why you thought it appropriate to add a statement that her citizenship is American? We have no sources for that claim. The article does not state a birthplace. The article lists her as "American", but all I meant by stating that in the article is that she was educated in and works in the US. For academics, in particular, making the jump from that sort of statement to an inference about citizenship is often a mistake. I think in this case it is more likely than not that she actually is a US citizen, but we should not say such things without much more certainty than that. This sort of dubious statement is a big part of why my trust in the integrity of Wikidata and my willingness to allow any of its data to be imported to Wikipedia is so low. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:44, 31 August 2019 (UTC)


 * I find this rather confusing. I see that you described her as an "American mathematician" in the Wikipedia article and in the List of women in mathematics. This to me means that her citizenship is American, otherwise - if there is a real doubt - I would expect something like "based in the United States". Lack of citizenship on Wikidata, impairs the usefulness of redlists on other language versions of Wikipedia. Unless you have good reason to doubt her American citizenship, I would suggest it should be restored on Wikidata.--Ipigott (talk) 07:12, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I think that in leads, conciseness is more important than using very many words to accurately and correctly express precisely the correct meaning. So I will write "American" to mean that someone has largely been based in America throughout whatever they are notable for, regardless of what exactly their citizenship has been documented to be. In this I believe I am far from alone. Also, I believe that many (maybe even most) citizenship claims on Wikidata are inadequately sourced. It is that inadequate sourcing, the willingness of Wikidata enthusiasts to make logical leaps like this without sourcing, and the inability to express nuance like "they were educated and worked in the US and for all I know they are a US citizen but I have no clear documentation of that fact" that makes the data portions of Wikidata as useless as they are (essentially unusable for importing as Wikipedia content). —David Eppstein (talk) 07:18, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

Wikidata queries from WiR for Wikimujeres
Hi ! I wanted to create the lists of WiR for the Spanish project Wikimujeres, and then when I started re-creating the queries for listeria I realized some of them were working while some of them weren't. Then I realized that for example this query that you did has some sections of code that include thins like this: filter(str(?sitelink_list)="Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by occupation/Actresses" that seem to be the reason why I'm unable to then recreate the query on Spanish Wikipedia. Any hint on how to solve this issue would be appreciated. I tried to replace that with the link for the same page but on Spanish (like this one for actress) but that didn't work either. Anyways, I'm not super proficient with SPARQL queries but if you give me some hints I can replace the code and make it work for Spanish missing women. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again!

Request for route map advice
Hi there. I found you on the WikiProject Oregon Graphics page. I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction for getting a route map made (or making one myself) for an article on Naito Parkway I created. I went through the instructions on the US Roads WikiProject maps page and wound up sinking several hours into QGIS and inkscape without any usable results. It seems like any blank OSM tiles I've found are cluttered with too much irrelevant detail to be appropriate. I haven't asked at US Roads, as their scope would not include this map. Is there a solution I'm overlooking? Any help or advice you can provide is appreciated.

Hi Tagishsimon, would you happen to have a WIR/gender gap dashboard for basic Wikidata stats? E.g., to see at a glance, the current gender ratio of enwp biographies, number of enwp biographies without a tagged gender.

Robert Rubin
Hi Tagishsimon, some years back I recall you were willing to consider proposed COI edits related to a U.S. politics and business BLP that I worked on, and I am wondering if you might be interested to look at another. Since the summer I've been working with advisers of the former U.S. Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin to propose changes to his biographical article. Although the article is well more than a stub, it's also missing quite a bit about his career prior to government service and even some key roles he played in the Clinton administration.

As always, I refrain from making direct edits to articles and seek volunteer help, but over the last seven weeks or so, I've tried reaching out to various wikiprojects and even past editors of the page, and received either crickets or (mostly) polite refusals on the basis that I am working with people close to Mr. Rubin. Remembering that you were open-minded and thoughtful before, I figured I would reach out and see if this interested you at all. If so, you might have a look at my suggestion on the Rubin talk page about the 1993 Deficit Reduction Act. If not, I'll respect that. Thanks, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 13:45, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello ,

I am confused as to why my article 2020–21 Melbourne Stars season was declined by you. I understand that yes, outsiders reading the article would have no idea who the Melbourne Stars are going to be confused by it, but at the same time people with no prior knowledge of the team would have no reason to read the article. There was even an embedded link that directs readers to the main article of the club so it's evident that you're not even trying to understand. Are you here to say that the article 2020–21 Liverpool F.C. season says anything of who and what Liverpool F.C is?? Please, if you're going to reject an article aimed at an extremely specific group of cricket viewers, at least think of a indisputable reason and not some fluff pulled out of your rear end.

wolfTPM and go-tpm libraries
Hi Tagishsimon,

I want to answer your comment - "Why is this, out of 8 zillion libraries, notable? Tagishsimon (talk) 16:39, 25 November 2020 (UTC)"

A. There are just four TPM libraries in total. If we count Microsoft's own TPM library that's five. But not even one zillion :)

B. wolfTPM is the only TPM library designed for Embedded Systems. It is also the only one without external dependencies, which makes it lightweight and easy to deploy on devices with limited resources. Such systems are IoT Industrial Medical list goes on.

C. go-tpm is created by a team at google and what is notable for it is they used golang. All other TPM libraries are written in C programming language. This library has been deployed on systems with lots of performance, like data centers and google's cloud servers.

Both wolfTPM and go-tpm were created last year (2019). Before that there were just Intel and IBM's TPM libraries.

The field of Trusted Computing and TPM is slowly rising in 2020. One of the reasons for the slow adoption is the difficulty of acquiring information about the technology. I hope that by adding information about wolfTPM and go-tpm in Wikipedia more people will be aware there are two new libraries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomovdimi (talk • contribs) 21:53, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Man Made Sea Plan
Hey! It's Switherlandio. When I made my Wikipedia account the goal was introducing things not a lot of people around the world knew about that was still notable enough to be on Wikipedia. The first 2 or 3 I made were not very good and didn't cite sources because I didn't know how. After practicing in my sandbox I decided I knew how to add sources and began my creation. I looked up things on Wikipedia and most of them were already on here. Suddenly I looked up "Manmade Sea Plan" and it was not on here. I began adding my article and tried hard to add reliable sources. They were reliable enough but you said my article was "something you made up". I am willing to take any advice but I did not make up that topic. The small YouTuber who came up with the idea, coincidentally just did a live stream a few hours ago. I am one of very few people who give her credit for it. Most people don't know who came up with the idea and just post about it online. I cited really notable websites who talked about it.

Request on 10:46:42, 7 December 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Ansgrayson
Hi - I really appreciate your feedback, although some of your language did upset me, I'm only trying to bring value to Wikipedia, and not annoy you!

I understand that you're busy, but could if you could spare a couple of minutes, I'd really appreciate some added guidance on the points you raised?

I'm more than happy to remove the term "premium" if you deem that advertorial, but I only used that term because I extracted it from the Harvard Business School and BCG Institute publication referenced below. I did the same with cutting-edge algorithm (hence the quotations).

I have gone back and edited the language as per your request but I would just like some clarity for future pages, because I've been trying to write this article as if I were writing an evidence-supported academic dissertation, extracting details from external sources to guide the core points of information.

I've been researching and editing other platforms in the industry for a guide as to what to write, so if I was to take a look at Catalant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalant) and the unreferenced mentions of "intelligent recommendations" - would this not be deemed puffery too?

Does the latest version add that crucial layer of neutrality now? It's been an interesting learning curve, so thank you for guiding me towards my first Wikipedia article creation. I have a few more articles about the contingent workforce and shift to digital for freelancers that I can't wait to write next, so I'm really excited to get past this first step as a page creator! Thanks :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ansgrayson (talk • contribs) 09:56, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

ADDED NOTE: I am a financial consultant, so I certainly do not work for a recruitment company, nor for anybody sadly at this moment?. I am a freelancer who gets connected to work, and the shift to remote work has opened up new opportunities for freelancers across the world to find better opportunities than we were able to before - this is a really important topic right now - independent workers need to be aware of the platforms like Toptal, Catalant, Comatch, Fiverr, Talmix, Beeline that are out there to connect us to work while many of us (myself included)have lost jobs during the pandemic.

Dear Tagishsimon, I appreciate your comment, however feel that your use of the words "many clever productive people" is rather rude. Wikipedia allows space for people whose only claim to fame are things of dubious nature (e.g. Lewinsky). Dr. Nagel unfortunatly was born in the 1940s and thus belongs to a generation, who is not as marketing savy and self-promoting as we all currently are. He is however hands down a globally reknown in the specific field of Hydropower, but how can that be shown to your satisfaction. What is it you need. LatinHydro (talk) 19:13, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Canadian Party Life
Hey Tagishsimon, I saw that you declined my draft because my "submission is about a company or organization not yet shown to meet notability guidelines (AFCH 0.9.1)". Instead of claiming that the company is an organization, I edited that draft to explain that it's an Instagram account. Based on the draft I believe there is sufficient evidence through references that this is an Instagram account, similar to the fuckjerry Wiki page. Would these adjustments allow the article to get approved? If not, how can I position it as an Instagram page to get approval? Thanks RickyRosea69 (talk) 09:06, 10 December 2020 (EST)

Hello Tagishsimon,

Last week you declined my article "Comment: Apart from content and, especially, obnoxious format which renders this indistinguishable from an advert, what we have is an article almosy wholly predicated on routine PR and financial press, which fails the WP:N test per WP:CORPDEPTH. Laying low value refs on with a trowel is not a substitute for proof of notability. Tagishsimon (talk) 16:51, 16 December 2020 (UTC)".

I edited the article, added sources from CNBC news, Forbes, Bloomberg, Reuters, South China Morning post, Bangkok Post, SD Times, Yahoo, Nasdaq and Coinspeaker. I also added a PDF files and PDF file from the Federal Reserve.

In total I more than 120 sources for my article.

 * Thanks for the fast review. Can you please clarify the bar for 'significance'? This wasn't local coverage.  Sources cited in the article are UPI, AP, Chicago Tribune and New York Times.  The story was also covered by NBC Nightly news and Incredible Sunday (I'm still trying to find air dates for both of those). Those are all credible sources with broad coverage. Nor are they passing mentions.

Hi, the creation of page Scalable Screen Font was declined for uncertain reasons. It was said to be an advertisement, however that simply can't be true as it is a Free and Open Source project, used by several hobby OS developers and other embedded system developers.

It is used just as PC Screen Font (which wasn't declined as an advertisement), but also also supports outline fonts which is a feature that many developers might be interested in.

Max Stoiber
Thank you for your feedback.

I have listed a few things regarding the notability of Maximilian Stoiber: I went through the guidelines and figured the following:

1. The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique.

Stoiber created and therefore originated a significant concept - two open source projects being: react-boilerplate and styled-components, which are being used by thousands of software engineers worldwide, including those at Google, airbnb, Disney+. He is one of the most sought-after engineers in his professional field despite his young age of 23.

He was awarded by Forbes 30 under 30 internationally for his work at Spectrum.

Also regarding his biography, an addition:

2. The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field.

Stoiber is widely-known in the field of software engineering. His contribution in open source is now to be found in 1% of all websites available. She.writes about him (talk) 08:52, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

You rejected Draft:CalFile, and made the comment: "TBH, congratulations. This is the very worst advert article I've seen. Breathtaking."

 * I'm very sorry,, but I have to agree. Similarly, on Draft:Versarien PLC you said [...] simple obvious things like emboldening the title name in the initial sentence like every other article on wikipedia you've ever read. While the rest of your feedback was very spot-on and helpful (I had been helping this user on IRC, but they unfortunately left before I got to notability), I feel like the ending comment was a bit brusque. While I do have some amount of clue, I personally never really thought about the emboldening of the title in the initial sentence of an article because it's not an area I usually work in. I have to imagine that someone who is even newer to Wikipedia would be even more unaware of that convention as well. Perryprog (talk) 15:41, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Editor of the Week
User:Alarichall submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:
 * I nominate Tagishsimon for their long, diligent, and selfless service to making knowledge free. Editing since 2004, and racking up nearly 72,000 English Wikipedia edits, their principal article creations have concerned the geography of England (with good articles like Battersea Town Hall and major contributions to Alnmouth) Their interests are wide-ranging, taking in complex topics like the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 and biographies ranging across time and space like Angelus Silesius. Their most important work, however, is probably behind the scenes, importing open-source or public-domain information to expand and improve Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. They have racked up nearly 4.5m Wikidata edits, particularly in relation to Women in Red. A survey of their contributions at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Women_in_Red suggests that they are working very hard and effectively on that project and supporting other editors. I've noticed that they are sometimes quite curt in debates with other editors, usually in relation to article deletions (whether supporting or opposing deletions); but I've spot-checked some of the disputes and it seems that Tagishsimon is consistently applying Wikipedia editing policies, and is sometimes dealing with non-compliant or rude editors. I am glad to nominate this user for Wikipedian of the Week

Here's what I wrote: I read the story about Larry Philpot in Bloomberg and was surprised to see his images were still on wikimedia. I saw that you initiated the block and deletion request of his account in 2019. Do you know why his photos are still here? Is there anything that can be done to remove them?

Orphaned non-free image File:The Cash Learning Partnership logo.png
Thanks for uploading File:The Cash Learning Partnership logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:34, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

List of NHS trusts in England
Apologies, my edit summary did't get recorded just now. I absolutely take your point that "multi-service" is more specific than "unique", however the WP article for Isle of Wight NHS Trust does use the word "unique" and explains why it is unique (the only trust in the country to provide all types of health service). I won't revert further changes - but "multi-service" seems to me a worse compromise than "unique". Best wishes Millstream3 (talk) 11:30, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello I sorted out references for the weber article. Could you review it again?

thanksCleshne (talk) 15:15, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

DERAILMENT of new page "Melissa Newman (actress)"
I created the page Melissa Newman (actress) to DIFFerentiate her from the existing page Melissa Stewart Newman who is Paul Newman's daughter... they are two different people... easily recognizable, comparing photos against each other, not to mention the age difference.

By connecting "Melissa Newman (actress)" to "Wikidata item Q6812826" you are essentially derailing my efforts to show Wikipedia users that there are TWO DIFFERENT Actresses named "Melissa Newman".

The "Melissa Newman" who co-starred with John Wayne in The Undefeated was already 16? years old in 1969, while Paul Newman's daughter, "Melissa Stewart Newman" was only about 8 years old at the time, having been born in 1961...

...and yet, by connecting "Melissa Newman (actress)" to "Wikidata item Q6812826" you have re-asserted the following errant data, concerning the "Melissa Newman" whose Hollywood debut was as a Teen in 1969:


 * Also Known As: Melissa Stewart Newman
 * date of birth: 17 September 1961
 * place of birth: Hollywood
 * father: Paul Newman
 * mother: Joanne Woodward
 * sibling: Scott Newman
 * sibling: Nell Newman
 * residence: Westport
 * IMDb ID: nm1206111

Please Revoke the Wikidata connection you made.

For the actress from "The Undefeated", we have yet to Prove/Verify ANY of those details above, as I have not yet verified her Birth Date, Birth Place, whether or not she has died already, Father's name, and perhaps one sister... the Mother's name is still up-in-the-air... see below.

One thing you can check, is that the Older Melissa Newman's IMDB ID is: nm0628179 (NOT nm1206111)

I've spent quite a number of hours, already, sorting out the Film/TV Credits for the two Newmans, by watching video & finding citations, and I don't want all that work that undone.... only improved. :)

I'm still researching, and verifying her TV/Film credits (visually, by watching the videos), as well as her Parentage/Bio Info... It's possible that the "Melissa Newman (actress)" from "The Undefeated" is the daughter of Ruth Hall (NOT Joanne Woodward), but further research via Reliable News/Book sources is necessary.

Feel free to comment on my Talk page, or on the Talk pages for either of the two, concerned pages:
 * Melissa Newman (actress) - co-star of "The Undefeated"
 * Melissa Stewart Newman - daughter of Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward
 * Note, on "Stewart" Newman's Talk page, I've already added extensive notes about errant data in Filmography (See the section TWO Melissa Newmans). Also on her main page, I added a section explaining the situation under a Controversy heading.

Finally, you can look at recent "History" on both pages to see how I'm trying to improve them for both persons.

Thank You in Advance, GreyElfGT (talk) 02:54, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment on Hickey. I offered my response. It's not about my evidence "failing to impress" anyone, it seems more about them failing to accept legitimate Wikipedia policy.

Articles_for_deletion/Aida_Hanemayer_(Lisenkova)_(2nd_nomination)
Hi there! I see that in December 2018 you told User:Оleg Cherkassky not to use WP:GALLERY to promote pictures in the article Aida Hanemayer (Lisenkova). For your interest - the article was deleted in December 2018 after an AfD discussion I wasn't inolved at that time). It appears that Cherkassky unilaterally reinstated the article, without any discussion - completed with gallery which you had deprecated. For your information, I have now nominated it for deletion again. Best, Smerus (talk) 16:55, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

User talk:PBS-AWB and Edward Raban (printer)
To cover the easy one first. The reason for the comment on User talk:PBS-AWB is because I do not log on to PBS-AWB every day or even every month. So placing a message there means it might be a long time before I see it. If however a message is place there while I am using AWB then AWB stops working which is useful with the automatically triggered bot responses that do not care if I do not read its post. So I think it is desirable to have both in place and the comment on User talk:PBS-AWB. Also as the only comments usually placed on User talk:PBS-AWB are automated ones I delete them and do not archive them. Those on User:PBS are archived.

Now to the second issue. Have you read the section WP:FREECOPYING in plagiarism guideline and the templates in Category:Attribution templates? The attribution to avoid accusations of plagiarism comes before the citation not after. This is because it was decided aeons ago that to avoid accusations of Wikipedia plagiarism that the attribution text ought to be very visible.

You wrote "" If you read the archives of Wikipedia talk:plagiarism you will see that many editors were and presumably still are against copying text from a PD source into Wikipedia. The only way a consensus on this issue was reached was by agreeing to make the attribution very obvious. BTW what makes you think that the "RD incorporation notice" is "mainly inaccurate"?

I surmise from that statement that the reason you do not use the "RD incorporation notice" and tag the   to the end is to hid/minimise the statement. Is that a fair surmise? If it is then you are going against the the consensus reached at Wikipedia talk:plagiarism.

is correct for an inline citation. "" is correct for a bullet pointed citation in the references section (underneath Attribution: as per WP:FREECOPYING). This is because the inline citation only covers the sentences since the last inline citation or the start of the paragraph.

As a parting comment you wrote "" Please assume good-faith (and check my edit count and the date of my first edit and consider if such a comment is justified). -– PBS (talk) 07:30, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Would you be able to give more details on why the submission of Draft:AliceVision was rejected?

Grantala and Figuig
You have been recommended to me as someone who knows how Wikidata works. Please will you resolve a duplication of Wikidata pages?

Q5630359 is linked to HMAS Grantala, and to corresponding articles on the Farsi and Polish Wikipedias, and to. However, the French Wikipedia article fr:Figuig (paquebot de 1916), which is about the same ship, is linked to a different Wikidata page Q109037792. This prevents linking the French article to the English, Farsi and Polish ones, or to the Commons category.

Teahouse hosting
Hi Tagishsimon. I noticed your exchange here at the Teahouse. While I think you have a point regarding the removal of those sentences, I have to say that I found your tone incredibly bitey. Newcomers are often quite hesitant to make edits out of fear of doing the wrong thing, and while we do want to gently guide them in the right direction, that needs to come along with encouragement to WP:BEBOLD. Comments like Who died and made you king? go diametrically against the environment we are trying to foster there. Please take a moment to review the Teahouse host expectations; if you do not feel you can meet them, your efforts may be better directed to other areas of the project. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 05:52, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Solita (company) page declined again
Hi! I now got the time to make a whole new article about the Finnish technology company Solita. Also found some interesting research sources etc., and wrote the article based on them. However, now it got declined again, and the editor who declined it, has a note on his/her talk page, that one may not want to post a question there as he/she won't answer. Could you check the page and tell, why it got declined again? Would really appreciate it! 88.112.164.155 (talk) 14:24, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Nari Shakti Puraskar
Hi Tagishsimon, if we've had contact before it would prob have been over at Women in Red. I'd like to better categorise pictures on wikicommons of recipients of the Nari Shakti Puraskarby year, so I'm making for example "Category:Recipients of the 2017 Nari Shakti Puraskar". However, having started on that I notice there's already "Category:Nari Shakti Puraskar winners" which seems to be autocreated from the wikidata in the relevant infobox. What I'm thinking is to put the recipients by year category inside the winners category, but because it's autocreated I don't know how to do that. Category:Anita Bharadwaj provides an example of this. Any ideas since you are a wikidata whiz? Thanks! Mujinga (talk) 13:37, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Hey—just wanted to mention from this conversation that I think we need to assume good faith here and not bite the newcomers.

The word "erect" is not only used in inappropriate contexts; it's also defined as to "construct (a building, wall, or other upright structure)" according to Google. I'd argue that, in both and, the user was simply trying to remove repetition of forms of the word "build" and vary the language a bit with a synonym. I will say, though, that the latter edit, while technically correct, is definitely less common and more likely to be interpreted inappropriately.

Overall, I just think a nicer tone is needed here, especially considering this new user hasn't technically done anything too wrong from a linguistical standpoint. Bsoyka ( talk ) 06:48, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

Scottish Rivers network diagram
Hi, I have been playing a bit more with your Scottish Rivers network diagram, mentioned on the Lussa Hydro-Electric Scheme talk page. Positioning the map over Southend, at the bottom of the Kintyre Peninsula, I get the four lines. If I scroll the map to the left, I get the four lines re-drawn where Southend now is, but also a copy where Southend was, before I scrolled. It then seems to remember that position, because a bit more scrolling, and the three sets of four lines are drawn where Southend is, where is was after the first scroll, and where it was originally. It feels like you need a "Clear" somewhere, to erase the previous set of lines, though I have no idea how this all works. Bob1960evens (talk) 12:36, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

AGF and scam victims
Hi, Tagishsimon. I think you were a little uncharitable to JimmyT1967 at the Teahouse. Unfortunately, there is a very widespread misconception that Wikipedia is a suitable place to publicise oneself or one's activities: if this weren't so, we wouldn't get the hundreds and hundreds of people coming here to do just that every day. Given that - the fact that many many people do not realise that there is anything wrong in using Wikipedia for promotion - I find your hostility towards somebody who was considering paying for this service rather unkind.

Hi Tagishimon, just letting you know I’ve opened a thread regarding your teahouse conduct at WP:ANI. Thanks. Cynidens (talk) 23:33, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Draft:Hypra
Hi Tagishimon,

citations dont reference Hypra directly, but as Hypra is a branch off Ethereum the citations about the technology is still valid, as they are inherited from the underlaying project. It is incorrect to classify it as a "full-on WP:SYNTHspam" and "bullshit-citing"

Scottish Rivers network diagram 2
Hi I just came across your network diagram. Its really handy for checking the basin areas for Scottiah lochs. I had a real problem working that out the basin areas for each loch and the map shows it exactly. Id contacted the Scottish water agency dudes last year and they gave me a dataset but it needed work to get into shape and they said they would fix but they never got back. I was planning to give them another try this year sometime, in an effort to catch all those small lochs that don't have the basin categories. Its really hard to identify. I do a couple of loch articles every few weeks to keep the thing moving and thought it would be real hassle to get the right cats sorted. This fixes that. Its a real boon. Great work.  scope_creep Talk  20:11, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

ANI
The discussion about your refusal to communicate with concerns expressed about your contributions at Teahouse has been archived without a response from you. I'm going to ask you not to contribute at Teahouse for now. Valereee (talk) 16:53, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @Valereee: Unfortunately, that's already happened with Tagishsimon once again being somewhat confrontational with another editor. As such, I have unarchived the discussion. — Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 01:21, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi Tagishsimon, as an uninvolved administrator, I would ask you to participate in, and reply to, the discussion and concerns raised at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. It would be strongly preferred if you action this prior to returning to reply to topics at the Teahouse, considering the subject matter of the discussion at ANI. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 03:48, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm going to up the ante a bit and suggest you really need to address the concerns at ANI, otherwise you run the risk of getting topic banned from the Teahouse. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  12:23, 3 January 2024 (UTC)


 * As another uninvolved administrator, I was waiting to give you a chance to respond to this, now archived, ANI thread about concerns over your interactions with other editors - especially newbies at the Teahouse. You seem to have gone remarkably quite since the thread was opened, and it was specifically left open in the hope that you would respond to it. However, it was archived before my intended plan to close in a couple of days time. But I thought it might help if I were to post here what I had planned to say. Tagishsimon's failure to WP:ENGAGE over concerns expressed over their incivility or WP:BITEY engagement with new editors has been noted. During the course of this thread they were indefinitely blocked from editing at The Teahouse by . There seems little point in keeping this thread open, though it may be referred to in any future concerns about unwillingness to communicate or in discussions about behavioural concerns.
 * Whilst I don't recollect having any negative interactions with you myself, I do hope you will consider how important it is not to put off new editors by making sarcastic or even arrogant and insulting remarks about their lack of understanding. I support 's partial block from the Teahouse, and encourage you to consider all aspects of how you engage with other editors in the future.
