Notification of discussion
A few months ago, you participated in a discussion on Wikipedia talk:Did you know about Gibraltar-related DYKs on the Main Page. I am proposing that the temporary restrictions on such DYKs, which were imposed in September 2012, should be lifted and have set out a case for doing so at Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Gibraltar-related DYKs. If you have a view on this, please comment at that page. Prioryman (talk) 22:01, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Answer
Thank you for the good advise. I will try to improve the internal links when creating entries on Swedish subjects to make the articles more stable. The problem is that I have a difficult laptop to work with when writing (i.e. an important button on the tablet is broken). Thats why I work a bit slow sometimes. PS: I speak Swedish too. --AddyFBG (talk) 17:56, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Polical party funding
Hi, Can you please remove the stub-tag from that article? I will certainly not try to expand it because the idea behind "political party funding" was to provide links to a wealth of articles that pertain to the subject.Khnassmacher (talk) 13:03, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Featured articles
Hi Tomas! Can you provide me with a list of featured articles on Swedish Wikipedia (must be about Swedish subjects) which I can translate to English and upload here. I appreciate your help. Best regards --AddyFBG (talk) 14:55, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * See sv:Wikipedia:Utmärkta artiklar, sv:Wikipedia:Bra artiklar and sv:Wikipedia:Rekommenderade artiklar for a falling scale of "featured" articles on Swedish Wikipedia. If you are going to translate I assume that you're able to navigate through Swedish pages. :-) The first two categories have gone through a review process, but not the last one. Good luck! 15:00, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Your many PRODs
Ok, I won't argue with an expert on the protocols. I'll let it be since I didn't use the correct protocol on PRODS. I'll just let those articles, remain on wikipedia. I'll just forgot I'd ever tried to do that!Demrep. —Preceding undated comment added 22:09, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
 * If you just PROD articles that fulfil the criteria, it isn't that difficult, so I hope you didn't get the wrong impression.

Removing assessments
I am not sure the right etiquette. I found the article on Bothnian Bay, which had correctly been rated a stub, and expanded it. In terms of size it went from 2,012 bytes to 21,389 bytes, so it is clearly no longer a stub. I don't think I should rate my own work, so I removed the assessment in the expectation that someone else would come by and re-rate it, as you did. Aymatth2 (talk) 14:01, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes I did come by, but in many or most cases noone will come by, at least not in a reasonable timeframe. Assessing your own article is really only a problem at the Good Article or Featured Article level, where some sort of "peer review" is suitable to have. Assessing your own work as stub, start or C, depending on its length and level of referencing and illustration, is completely unproblematic. Now, removing a stub assessment is less problematic than removing them at higher levels, but as a principle I prefer to see updates rather than deletions. Your best guess is always better than nothing, if you feel certain that the current assessment is wrong. By the way, I noted that you have done several valuable additions to articles; keep up the good work! Best regards, Tomas e (talk) 14:17, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

 * If you find any material for expansion of Fäbodristning like 400ch more needed for DYK and then it will go directly to DYK as it forfills all the other requirements. I have put you in the nom for DYK for credits. Thanks.--BabbaQ (talk) 11:34, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Baron de Robeck
This article is about a well known Irish family who, I accept, have passed down a title they may not have deserved. It is not an article about Swedish barons of which I know nothing. I cannot see how this title business affects the notability of the family members, who were leading members of Irish society, built country houses and were High Sheriffs of their county. Incidentally the naming convention is that of UK barons as the family members were Anglo-Irish and had no ongoing connections with Sweden.Plucas58 (talk) 22:16, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I have nothing against an article on the De Robecks as a family (also serving as disambiguation page, if articles on several members), but the lead sentence indicated the article was on a non-existing Swedish title. I couldn't see anything to salvage under an article name which is not really correct (or at least not official), so I PRODded it. But I think there's a constructive middle ground to be had, by focussing the article on the Anglo-Irish family and not on the title. Here's my suggestion: move the article from Baron de Robeck to De Robeck and de-PROD it after it has been moved and modified. I suggest I'll create the article on the Fock family based upon sv:Fock (adelsätt) within the next few days, so there's something at the wikilink target. The "1st Baron" etctera should either be removed, or changed to "styled himself as...", if indeed that was the case for all of them. I'll go over the article after you've moved it, and make sure it doesn't make any claims about Swedish nobility that is unsupported by reliable Swedish sources. OK? Tomas e (talk) 10:44, 30 October 2013 (UTC)


 * I appreciate your suggestions on how to resolve our differences. But, just as you wish to defend the integrity of articles about the Swedish peerage I am also concerned that an article about a significant Irish family describes them as they are and not as you would wish them to be. They are the Fock family, but widely known and accepted as the Barons de Robeck. Whether they deserve the title is a subsidiary issue.

As you can see I had already changed the lead sentence to remove any suggestion that the title was legitimate. My counter proposal is that the title of the article be left as is because that is what people would expect it to be when searching (I only wrote the article because I was searching for them myself under their assumed title of Baron de Robeck), but that the text be modified as you suggest to "state clearly that they were a branch of the Swedish noble family Fock (noble family) who took the name de Robeck (unilaterally) after emigrating". I don't want to drag this out any more than you do but I don't think we have yet agreed on the best compromise.Plucas58 (talk) 12:03, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Perhaps a continuation of the discussion should be held at the talk page of the article Talk:Baron de Robeck, in case more editors have anything to add. I appreciate your willingness to adapt the article, but I still believe that a De Robeck article, with Baron de Robeck as a redirect, would be a better solution. And I just like to point out that my aim is factual accuracy (backed up by WP:RS) and keeping the content (and article titles) on an encyclopedic level. Tomas e (talk) 16:19, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
 * No need. Changes made as you requested. Need to move on.Plucas58 (talk) 22:42, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Morgan Creek Vineyards (Alabama)
Hello. It looks from the edit history like you re-added a 'notability' tag to this page in 2010. The thing is, the article is fully referenced. Yes, it is local, but all wineries are. Having a page on the history of specific wineries is not non-notable IMO. They can go for a lot at auctions (globally) for one; they are collected globally, like paintings or pottery; and they are also an important part of local cultures. I think this page should be expanded, but it is definitely notable. Moreover, I think most wineries at List of wineries and vineyards in Alabama should have their own page as well. It would be extremely problematic if they were deemed "non-notable," however.Zigzig20s (talk) 14:58, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Hello, I definitely disagree that all or most wineries are notable, in Alabama or elsewhere. Bordeaux has 8,000+ wine producers, and I suppose some 5% of these might be notable enough for Wikipedia articles in my opinion, and applying the basic guidelines. Please see the basic WP:Notability and WP:CORP guidelines, as well as WP:NOTDIRECTORY under WP:NOT (which also makes me think that exhaustive list of all wineries, including non-notable ones, is highly questionable Wikipedia content). And of course, this has been made more concrete in Wikipedia is not a wine guide. However, I must say that I can't exactly recall that specific edit from four years ago among my 61,479 edits (and that's just counting this language version...), but I do notice that this article has had a lot of non-encyclopedic, "wine guide style" material added. However, I'm not as active as I used to be, so if you're interested in an general discussion you could try Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Wine rather than here. Unfortunately, that project also isn't as active as it used to be. Tomas e (talk) 15:42, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Merlot pics
Hey Tomas, would you be willing to poke your head over at the Merlot Talk page. I'm afraid that NewTestLeeper is going to go on a POINTy deletion rampage through all of our wine articles. I'm failing in trying to convince him to be constructive and replace the images he doesn't like rather than just wholesale deletion. I have never had any objections to wine pics being replaced with vineyard pics but the current Merlot article is a mess with just walls of text and no illustrations. Even innocuous images like this with the wine bottle firmly in the background apparently aren't even safe. Another viewpoint would be welcomed. AgneCheese/Wine 17:25, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Might do if I feel like I have the time, but it might better to get someone who understands the subject but has a fresh set of eyes. I detect a certain lack of WP:CIVILity in edit comments from the editor in question. It's fairly insulting to repeatedly claim that someone's edits are "advertising". Tomas e (talk) 17:41, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, Drmies is definitely more reasonable and I suspect that even he wouldn't feel comfortable with NewTestLeeper going on a Pointy deletion spree. I feel like this might be middle ground that can reached with Drmies at least that won't leave the wine articles left as a wasteland. I encouraged NTL to take this to RfC if he feels so sincerely troubled by this but I'm wondering if he's afraid an RfC would cast light on his behavior. AgneCheese/Wine 17:48, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Importance classifications
Hello Tomas e! Thank you for all your great work on enWP! I see where you often are quite busy classifying the importance of WP bios of Swedes as "low". Once in a while I don't agree with your opinions and feel you need to be reversed. Questions for you: No offense intended. Just asking. Sincerely, --SergeWoodzing (talk) 19:59, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) What do you base your classifications on, other than your own personal opinions?
 * 2) Do you really feel it's necessary to classify that many life stores as of "low" importance?
 * 3) What's wrong with leaving them unclassified, is that some sort of failure on our part?
 * 4) Do you ever classify any other articles than biographies?
 * 5) Do you ever classify any life stories as being of more importance than "low"?
 * If memory serves me, we've had this discussion before, and I've not really changed my approach since then. My thinking is based on the following, although I might not have spelled it out in this much detail before:
 * I assess all types of WP:Sweden articles. I did this over a longer period of time some years ago, and I've just returned to the task. Don't know if I'll continue doing it again over the coming months, we'll see. (Historically, I've also assessed a lot of WP:Wine articles, but I've not really returned to that project in the same way). I find the articles to assess primarily by checking lists of new articles related to Sweden (plus checking other articles linked in those articles), by going through categories of Sweden-related articles, and by checking up partially assessed articles, so there's no great mystery in why I choose the articles I choose. In recent times, biographies (largely sports- and entertainment-related), songs and music albums dominate this selection in terms of number of articles, but this is simply a reflection of what Sweden-related articles that have been created in 2014. As another example, some years ago I went through all localities and municipalities in Sweden and assessed them.
 * WP:Sweden is not exclusively a biographical project and therefore biographies need to be considered in relation to other articles. I do consider articles on geographical locations, "general subjects on Sweden" and major Swedish companies and organisations more central to the project than the vast majority of individual biographical articles. Some biographical articles are of course quite central.
 * My purpose in assessing the articles are primarily to have them properly tagged for WPSweden and some other project (such as WPBio). The project tags help significantly with housekeeping tasks (keeping track on deletion discussions, moves to other article names, automatic generations of lists of deficient articles related to Sweden, etcetera), and hopefully help people like yourself (those that are interested in Sweden-related subjects and can read Swedish-language sources). In principle a project tag without assessment of class and importance is able to do the same work. However, such "empty project tags" have sometimes been assigned by bots and tools, without really checking into the articles' merits. When I assign a full project tag, I also make some checks if other project tags should be added, if the article is properly categorised, and if it has any major deficiencies that calls for "quality templates" to be added. So for me, a full assessment means that I confirm that I've really taken a look at the article.
 * I've strived to assess in a consistent way.
 * I've basically taken the view that "positive evidence" is required for assigning importance higher than low, and for many categories of articles I've tried to create certain standards. For example: I've usually assessed prime ministers high, government ministers and non-PM party leaders mid, while leaving the run-of-the-mill members of parliament low. I've assigned low to almost all sportspeople, artists, businesspeople and scientists, and usually reserved mid for those that, roughly speaking, are obviously quite outstanding in their field by international (and not just domestic Swedish) standards. High has been reserved for a very select few that, roughly speaking, are obviously of enduring historical importance, and not just outstanding in their generation.
 * Do notice that I definitely don't see importance=mid or high as some sort of "reference level", and importance=low as a sign of "should be deleted" or something similar. I suspect, based on previous discussions, that your reasoning involves this kind of "reference level" thinking.
 * Therefore, I don't really see a problem in having 80-90% of the project's biographic articles as low-importance.
 * This said, the percentage might be a bit too high today. I do not rule out that there is a substantial number of biographies (as well as articles on companies and organisations) that might justify mid-importance within "my scheme" but today are low-importance. Changing a few per cent of them - that's still hundreds of articles! - from low to mid in a consistent way wouldn't really affect the overall consistency. However, changing e.g. every article on Swedish children's authors or Swedish footballers or Swedish social democrats to at least mid-importance and many of them to high-importance would definitely remove the consistency of the scheme.
 * However, I have to admit that I'm more concerned with the border between stub and start, than the border between low and mid. I have a feeling that I've been a bit too non-generous in assigning start-class to articles, and looked to much on their length excluding tables & infoboxes, also in the case of "small" subjects (such as articles on individual songs).
 * Since I neither "own" the project or the individual assessments everyone is of course free to have their own opinions regarding assessments. I do think consistency is a very good idea, though, both across biographies and between biographies and other type of articles (geographical, organisations, works of art...).
 * I might add that in my opinion, assessments should be changed rather than removed, if one disagrees with them.
 * If I'm perfectly honest, though, I would consider it a much more valuable effort for Wikipedia and for WPSweden to improve 100 stub-class articles or to provide 100 articles with references than to change the importance of 1000 biographies. :-) But everyone is free to spend their time on things that other editors think less valuable! :-) Tomas e (talk) 21:18, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you for taking all that time to reply!
 * I have no memory of having had this discussion with you before; sorry if you find me tedious.
 * Just brief answers to my questions would have been fine, but now I've read all of what you wrote and found a lot of it interesting anyway.
 * May I deduce then that your anwers to my 5 questions are as follows, as regards importance?
 * Personal opinions
 * Yes
 * It helps interested editors [not to spend too much time on them?] if they are classified ["low"?], and yes: failure [what's in brackets are my own asumptions as to what you mean]
 * Yes a few
 * Yes but very few
 * --SergeWoodzing (talk) 22:49, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Brief answers would not have sufficed to provide an understanding, given the way your questions were phrased. Your deductions as to (3) and (4) are somewhat strange, though. It would have been interesting to know if there was any answer to (1) that qualifies as anything else than "personal opinion" to you? I think that you might have a bit of a "hang up" on the phrase low as such, so why don't you consider the classes as importance 1, 2,3 and 4? You might consider the purpose of the classes 1-3 as a guide to which articles in the project that should get priority in getting up to at least FA-class, B-class/C-class and start-class in an ideal world, and which articles that it might be a good idea for many editors with a general interest in Sweden to have on their watchlist. Happy new year and happy editing ;-) Tomas e (talk) 12:22, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
 * But "importance 1, 2,3 and 4" is not what we have to deal with here, so why discuss something that doesn't actually exist?
 * I'm trying very hard not to be offended by your presumption that I might have a "'hang up'", though I can't see any reason for you to get personal with an accusation like that. To me, the words "importance: low" in English mean just that: "importance: low", and that's what I brought up here, not "1,2,3,4". Perhaps you have a "hang up" about me? Sad, if so.
 * And perhaps the word "importance" is at least as problematic, whereas "priority" could be better, with the addition - right there! - of the name of the user giving the opinion in each case?
 * In essence, I find it hard to understand why you don't just clearly and briefly answer the five reasonable questions I asked you, rather than going into lots of stuff I didn't ask you about.
 * If there's some other criteria than personal opinions that we Wikipedians are supposed to use in evaluating the importance to our readers of these life stories, I would, sincerely, like to know.
 * If you are not to be considered interested mainly, regarding the evaluation of life stories, in evaluating them as of low importance, I would, sincerely, like to know that too.
 * I wrote to you out of respect and asked you reasonable questions, because I'd like to understand better some of the considerable time and effort that you put into this project, within a huge amount of other valuable work you do on it. So far, I feel I've been given a bit of a run-around plus a litlle personal jab, rather than straight answers based on the specific questions I asked. Why, I fear I might never know.
 * As I'm sure you realize, intelligent and perceptive as you are (when not focusing on any "hang up"), I may very well now be of an opinion which rather stongly objects to our evaluating life stories, expecially those under WP:BLP, as of "high", "medium" or "low importance" - that (to boot!) being one of the the first things a reader sees very prominently displayed when visiting an article's talk page, and that based solely on our own personal opinions, rather than on any other more substantial and neutrally reliable foundation. I don't see what gives us that right, nor why any such privilege or responsibility should exist for Wikipedia editors to exercise that kind of personal authority over other named individuals, living or dead.
 * Is there any WP policy I could read that might make me better understand such privileges/responsibilities of ours?
 * Certainly other editors have also questioned things like this (though power also may tend to corrupt us).
 * As with all my opinions, even the strongest ones, I am always open to clear, constructive, non-personalized, well-founded arguments aimed at changing them. Anything like that coming up here? --SergeWoodzing (talk) 16:22, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Dear SergeWoodzing, I see absolutely no point in continuing this discussion on my talk page, since I don't find you particularly constructive. I suggest reading WikiProject Council/Assessment FAQ and WikiProject_Council/Guide/WikiProject if you haven't already done so, and if you wish to discuss general assessment questions, find a suitable project talk page or other meta page instead. Your objections about the terminology chosen by the Project Council and the Wikipedia 1.0 task force, neither of which I've been a member of, do definitely not belong on my talk page. Further remarks from you on this subject on my talk page will therefore be deleted. Regards, Tomas e (talk) 23:28, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: for the record, the previous discussion with on this subject at this talk page happened five years ago (actually a bit longer ago than I thought) and can be read at User talk:Tomas e/Archive 2009. Tomas e (talk) 00:15, 31 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Tomas often assesses my articles. And in 99% of the cases he is correct. That is just my input.--BabbaQ (talk) 23:39, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Ongoing discussion
There are ongoing discussions about the use of "Importance" which flies against Biography guideline. This type of editing, and any other orders you might want to give me on the subject, should be avoided in the meantime. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 10:13, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Definitely not. Removals of assessments are not acceptable, as you should be well aware of. In this case we are talking about assessments for WikiProject Sweden. You have started a discussion over at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Biography/Assessment, another project, which so far (3.5 days) has only resulted in only one other comment, which did not agree with you.

Cryoscopic measurements of electrolyte mixtures
Hello, Tomas! I've noticed your edit at talk:freezing-point depression. I want to ask you if could help in finding some info about Regval Wasoe, a Swedish physical chemist author of the reference that I have inserted in Debye-Huckel theory about cryoscopic measurements of electrolyte mixtures in order to test the applicability of the theory to that case. This Swedish author has been mentioned in another scientific paper/article. Google search has not been helpful. Thanks.--5.15.50.146 (talk) 12:56, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Hello, I didn't reply immediately and then forgot all about it until the next message on my talk page (yesterday). Sorry about that. "Wasoe" is most likely a German-style translitteration from "Wasö", which is a highly probable Swedish surname. The problem is, no-one with that surname has ever published anything in book format in Sweden according to LIBRIS, the database of National Library of Sweden. That database includes all Ph.D. theses, for example. Neither is there any currently living person in Sweden with that surname, the closest being Wassö (also no LIBRIS hits). Regval is a bit more more odd, and doesn't help. I don't assume you've seen the original article in Physikalische Zeitschrift and could provide his affiliation, if specified, or verify the actual spelling? A scientist with basically no publication record is unlikely to be covered in any printed Swedish biographical source. I could see three possible explanations for the lack of LIBRIS hits: 1) the name has been misspelled in secondary sources, 2) he was a Ph.D. student who never finished, or possibly an industrial engineer, and therefore didn't publish much else (and on top of that didn't have any family...), or 3) he isn't Swedish. Tomas e (talk) 11:52, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I have seen a variant in the citation of an other article : Regnval Wesoe. About the affiliation I think it could be seen in the online version of Physikalische Zeitschrift if it covers the 1930 articles. It seems that online scanned pages of the journal do not include the 1930 year, the coverage is only until 1929. Where could 1930 year of the joural be found online to see the affiliation?--5.15.176.102 (talk) 16:56, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive
G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
 * updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

/* Winegrowing */ Niersteiner Glöck
Dear Thomas, perhaps you could perform a review on Glöck.--Symposiarch (talk) 17:52, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Will have a look later in the week and let you know! Tomas e (talk) 18:19, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your contribution. Which non-written article/lemma would you rate Wikipedia:WikiProject Wine/Assessment Category:Top-importance article for German wine, if there is ? --Symposiarch (talk) 21:41, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't really think that there are many unwritten top- or high-importance wine articles. Using memories of my old restrictive view of using the top-level importance (as opposed to the other three), and without checking what the actual ratings are today, I suppose that only German wine and Riesling belong at top level. :-) Most single vineyards and producers belong at low level to me, with a very few exceptions. In my view, the top-importance articles are those you would write for a slim brochure covering the most essential topics in wine. The high-importance are those that you would add to make a small book. The mid-importance are those that you would add to make a thick book (but still a single book). The low-importance articles are those that you would only consider for specialised books or a multi-volume printed encyclopedia. But that's just my view, and I don't spend time to maintain the assessment. To be perfectly honest, I think that many wine producer articles (primarily those about producers in English-speaking countries) don't belong on Wikipedia and are non-encyclopedically written. But even when I was more active some years, I didn't feel it was worth the time correcting most of them, since this would also risk leading to edit-warring with paid or narrow-subject contributors. (I wanted to have time to drink wine as well, to arrange wine tastings, and to visit producers.) Outside the English-speaking world, I think there may still be room to add more producer profiles, as long as we're talking about producers that are highly rated by independent sources. Vineyards in Germany could also be added. While I think that all Grosse Lagen could deserve articles (but not all 2,000+ Einzellagen in Germany, much less all the 20,000+ pre-1971 Einzellagen), perhaps another article structure might be better for the reader. For example, they might be structured by village. But this would be enormous undertaking. For the last couple of years, I've been profiling Champagne villages in blog format. The idea started because I thought there was a lack of printed and overall coverage of peripherial vineyards and single vineyards in Champagne, as opposed to Burgundy. I found that the blog format suited me better than Wikipedia for this task. Best regards, Tomas e (talk) 18:19, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of RedJet Records


A tag has been placed on RedJet Records, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Can you complete?
Jonathan Rosenhead has a sentence which ends "...resulted in a number." Since he is a mathematician this would be quite interesting, but I feel you meant to write "a number of theorems." or "a number of courses being set up." or "a number of cream cakes." or something similar. All the best: Rich Farmbrough  (the apparently calm and reasonable) 10:59, 29 April 2020 (UTC).


 * Well, since it is soft OR it's more likely to be a number of cream cakes than a number of theorems. :-) It definitely looks like an unfinished sentence. I remember I wrote this article when I was writing something about the history of OR and noticed that there was no article on Rosenhead, while checking several books and papers in parallell.

Nämndeman is the equivalent of: ?
Hello Tomas! On what literature did you base the creation of this redirect? Best wishes, --SergeWoodzing (talk) 13:12, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Dear SergeWoodzing, you must have a lot of faith in my memory, since you ask about a redirect I created 11 years, 1 month and 6 days ago! :-) The honest answer is that I don't remember, but by checking other articles I edited at the time I can make an educated guess. My best guess is that I used Domstolsverket's information in English about Swedish courts, since I seem to have used that information to create the first version of the article Judiciary of Sweden, this one. By the way, I was a nämndeman myself 2006-2008 so I had some interest in the subject. From memory, I have heard/seen both "lay judge" and "lay assessor" as translation. "Lay judge" is a direct translation of the Swedish term lekmannadomare which is an alternative Swedish language description of the role of a nämndeman. However, translating legal terminology between Swedish and English is quite tricky, since UK/US and Sweden belong to completely different spheres of legal tradition, so I would recommend using official translations provided by Swedish courts. Since I know that you often take an interest in historical subjects, I might add that this redirect was made with the contemporary role of nämndemän in mind. It could be that another term is more appropriate for historical times, when there were no (or very few) professional/regular judges in the Swedish countryside. An obvious alternative direct could be Judiciary of Sweden, so the term redirects to an explanation rather than just a term. By the way, SergeWoodzing, I'm not sure if edit summaries such as this one and this one, show good judgment or adherence to Civility. Best regards, Tomas e (talk) 19:09, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I was pleased & grateful for your extensive reply till I got to your little attack at the end. Can't see anything uncivil about either edit. Please report me so we can get some help on that! It will be my first time since I logged in in 2008.
 * Hardly makes me feel like continuing to talk with you i sak, but anyway: have you heard the term "permanent juror" for nämndeman? It's the only one I've seen in legitimate literature that makes sense to me. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 13:50, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I've not heard the term permanent juror. It seems like an inappropriate term, since the role of a nämndeman is not really the same as that of a juror in a jury as in e.g. grand jury. Both lay assessor and lay judge convey the role better. (If I were to invent my own term, which I shouldn't, I would perhaps use "lay co-judge" to convey the role of layman, part of the entire judging process, but not the same role as a professional judge.) As to "legitimate literature", surely official translations from Swedish governmental agencies are the relevant ones for current-day terms? I'm also sorry to hear that you don't understand my comment about your edit summaries. I'm trying to be helpful, since I recognize your user name from both here and elsewhere. If you feel that your use of edit summaries is impeccable, despite Help:Edit summaries, then ignore my comment. All the best and take care, Tomas e (talk) 10:08, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
 * English is my first language & I learned Swedish when I was in my teens. I've taught English intermittently since the 1960s and have done lots of well-paid special work correcting, adjusting and adapting English text by and for Swedes, even academic people. My confidence in any English text written by any Swede is statistically low, especially, I might add, any item by the Swedish government or other official source like that. The poor quality of official English written by Swedes, generally, is absolutely astounding, and the headstrong attitude often spicing up its creation has not exactly decreased since 1968. But like Mae West said about censorship: "I ain't complainin'. I've made a career our of it".
 * If I were to translate nämndeman in my work I would probably use something like "deputy judge".
 * Accusing someone of incivility where there was none is never helpful. It's a reaction I think we all have at times, unfortunately, when we see someone else do something to an article that we personally do not like. Just editing an article without sarcasm or rude remarks or snide sideswipes (such as "your user name from both here and elsewhere [my italics]") is not uncivil, even if the edit irritates someone. I often concede my mistakes and often apologize. Best wishes to you too. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 11:12, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

Not vandalism
Thank you for trying to keep Wikipedia free of vandalism. However, one or more edits you labeled as vandalism, such as the edit at Talk:Marianne Bernadotte, are not considered vandalism under Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can discourage editors. Please see what is not vandalism for more information on what is and is not considered vandalism. Thank you. DrKay (talk) 09:32, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your link. Could you be a bit more specific as to which section of "what is not vandalism" deliberate removals of project assessments would fall under, because it is not that obvious to me after having read through it? Kind regards, Tomas e (talk) 09:38, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Obvious good faith edits by established editors who post an explanatory edit summary and an explanation on the talk page are self-evidently not vandalism. DrKay (talk) 16:00, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

September 2023
Please stop assessing the biographies of living people! Assessments as "low importance" can be insulting to living people. Especially when we are not qualified to arbitrarily pass judgement on them as "low importance" such assessments are never justified. Such assessments must always be removed. It stands to reason according to general Wikimedia-Foundation policies on our treatment of living people. SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:56, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

I will let it slide for now, for two reasons: I know how furious you are about not being able to freely assess biographies of living persons as "low importance", which apparently is a beloved task of yours, and I am counting on no more personal attacks by you. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 21:24, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
