For the love of dabs
Una, Since you like dabs maybe you have time to sort through this mess at East Friesian, which was a redirect to the sheep, as was the redirect at the top of the article about the region, although it was listed as a redirect to the horse. I only know about wild horses, and possibly at least one other horse breed should be at this dab. A picture of East Fresia is slated to be the POD soon, and I wanted to see the image in an article when I stumbled upon this. If you don't have time, someone else will dabble, I'm sure. --KP Botany (talk) 04:54, 22 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Where is the mess you want fixed? On the dab page, or in the links to it?  Also, does this mean you are over whatever it was that led you to do that AN/I thing?  Being your target got me, uh, further targeted.  Blood in the water attracts sharks, KWIM?  --Una Smith (talk) 05:05, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I never hold grudges, because it's too hard to keep track of them when there's so much chum in the water.
 * What I would like you to do is check the dab I created and see if there is anything urgently in need of fixing, not necessarily the links to and from it and its articles, as that is mere tedium, but if there are additional horses, like the Fresian that should properly be on that page. In other words, an editorial decision about the usefulness of what should be on the dab.
 * I usually don't ask other editors to clean up tedious messes, just important messes that may keep readers away from finding the articles they would like to read. As Wikipedia has a number of good horse articles on modern breeds, in spite of the difficulties in that area, making sure that interested readers can properly navigate to those articles is, in my opinion, an important task.  Once I created the redirect, I realized there is probably a Fresian, and, yup, there is.  Should it be on that page also? Or is it a rare breed and unlikely the mistake is to be made?  I know about horse evolution and taxonomy, but not about modern breeds, so I can't really do anything about necessary additions.  --KP Botany (talk) 05:54, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * You never hold grudges, but do you ever apologize? I fixed up East Friesian for you, and some related articles while I was at it.  --Una Smith (talk) 06:28, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Sometimes, but usually forgetting what the whole deal is about precludes a genuine apology. I would have to research your involvement, my involvement, who said what when, etc., etc.
 * I do know I disagree with how you handle disambiguating certain very common terms, however, I also know you're likely to create an inclusive dab that will be useful to readers attempting to hit the right page for more obscure topics. This is what I take from my interaction with you, the last point, and, since we're both here to create an encyclopedia I think a compliment is better than an apology.  --KP Botany (talk) 06:33, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. --Una Smith (talk) 06:37, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * PS Thanks. It looks great. --KP Botany (talk) 06:33, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Look again. I had "deja vu all over again", and realized I'd previously made East Frisian.  --Una Smith (talk) 06:37, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, I had meant to check East Frisian, as that is the spelling I'm more familiar with, and I didn't! (I'm compiling and debugging thousands of lines of code.) --KP Botany (talk) 06:43, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Debugging after compiling, ew. I am a fan of Donald Knuth.  --Una Smith (talk) 06:54, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * From the edit history I see I never edited (or at least never saved an edit) to East Frisian; I worked on Frisian.  Nevermind.  --Una Smith (talk) 06:59, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Simple suspension bridge
Nice expansion. I do think that the original lead image was better, perhaps the diagram could replace the next image (lattice sides), which does not have sufficient resolution to show the details.

Input requested
== Input requested ==

''Hi, your are listed in WikiProject Bridges and I wondered if you might want to weigh in on a requested move? There is a discussion here Talk:Suspension_bridge_types which results from a previous move. The discussion has major consequences on the content of the main article on suspension bridges? The root question: Is a suspended deck bridge the proper name for a typical suspension bridge? - ¢Spender1983 (talk) 01:57, 29 March 2009 (UTC)''


 *  That question is a red herring, unrelated to the requested move. ¢Spender1983 considers them to be related. I grant that the article now at Suspended deck bridge should be moved to Suspended-deck suspension bridge.  The requested move however concerns moving Suspension bridge types to Suspension bridge.  --Una Smith (talk) 02:37, 29 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Things were fine for years, just the way they were. The problems and confusion induced are not mine to solve. I suggest that things be reverted to the initial state. - Leonard G. (talk) 16:09, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Courtesy
How about notifying me on my talk page before you post on the article talk page? And how about asking that I consider an apology first rather than filing an ANI? Montanabw (talk) 04:58, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Why? I asked you twice to stop doing it.  --Una Smith (talk) 05:18, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Suspension bridge
What does "subject of requested move" have to do with where the redirect goes? Are you projecting that the move of suspension bridge types to suspension bridge will take place? Not likely. As I see it 99.99% of the people typing in "suspension bridge" into the search window and clicking "Go" are looking for the bridges like the Golden Gate bridge, and not trying to find out what other types of suspension bridges there are. I would strongly suggest that the redirect go to whatever that article is called at the moment, until it is moved back to suspension bridge, where it has been for all but 5 hours of its existence, until recently. You will note above that the editor who created the article suspension bridge types, and moved suspension bridge for 5 hours, in 2005, and moved it back, agrees that that is where it should be. 199.125.109.126 (talk) 22:05, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * There are a lot of links to Suspension bridge right now that are being read by people discussing the (now 3) requested moves. If you change the redirect in the midst of those discussions, it confuses people.  Okay?  --Una Smith (talk) 22:31, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Anyway, how do you know what readers want when they push the "Go" button? That's a straight question, not sarcasm. Do you have data about how many readers use hatnotes or other links to go from one page to another, to recover from a link that took them somewhere they didn't want to go? I am one reader who was not looking for an article about suspended-deck suspension bridges when I followed a link to Suspension bridge, several weeks ago. I knew that most of what I was reading did not apply to most types of suspension bridge, but many readers would not know it. Yes, suspended-deck suspension bridges probably are by far the most notable kind of suspension bridge, but does that justify the one type occupying the name of the larger class? --Una Smith (talk) 22:31, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Stats confirm my feeling. Wikipedia have a big naming trouble, wikipedia have 2 articles/names/topics (Swine flu AND 2009 swine flu outbreak), CNN, BBC, etc just have one : Swine flu. This lead me to 2 conclusions : I sleeped 8 hours, that continue in the same way. That's an article naming trouble. Yug (talk)  11:52, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

 * 1) People aren't getting the information they are searching for. A solution is NEED.
 * 2) I was right, people are changing the swine flu article, into a copy of 2009 swine flu outbreak.
 * Excuse me. You reverted your blanking of NAMES under the influenza.  This paragraph is about the NAMES used to describe this strain.  Removing cited material and replacing it with your own personal claim (no matter if it is true) without documentation is not acceptable per wiki guidelines.  I will undo your edit once again.  If you want to contribute to the article feel free, but don't blank other's work because you disagree with it.  If you wish to add the statement that you did, I see no problem with it, but don't delete other cited information.BFritzen (talk) 20:32, 30 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi BFritzen. I don't know what you saw, but here is the version resulting from my edit.  What exactly did I "blank"?  --Una Smith (talk) 20:48, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * According to the article history you blanked all of this and entered a simple claim that the strain was not from swine.

" The new strain is commonly called swine flu, but some parties object to the name and it has also been referred to as Mexican flu, North American influenza, and 2009 H1N1 flu. On April 30, 2009, the World Health Organization began to call it influenza A(H1N1) . The outbreak is believed to have started in March 2009. Local outbreaks of an influenza-like illness were first detected in three areas of Mexico, but the virus responsible was not clinically identified as a new strain until April 24, 2009. Following the identification, its presence was soon confirmed in various Mexican states and in Mexico City. Within days, isolated cases (and suspected cases) were identified elsewhere in Mexico, the U.S., and several other Northern Hemisphere countries. " BFritzen (talk) 20:56, 30 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I see. You are looking at the diff, which parses my changes strangely.  Please look at the versions before and after my edit, and you will see this before:

and this after:

You can also see this in the diff, if you look carefully. I blanked nothing. --Una Smith (talk) 21:08, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Check the history page. For some reason your edit eliminates the above all together.  The part blanked is in red.  It could be because of a glitch due to a simultaneous edit.  Re enter what you were trying to include, by all means I have no objection to that, but at the end of the edit, a large chunk was missing.  It could have been inadvertent on your part, happens even to me. :-D BFritzen (talk) 21:12, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * AH, my apologies! It was just that I had recently staved off an edit war re: Names and when I saw that large part of Red Text "apparently" missing, I assumed the worst.  Thank you for correcting me and please accept my apology. BFritzen (talk) 21:17, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I am glad we have that sorted out now. --Una Smith (talk) 21:22, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

OR
I understand that you have a medical background but please remember our WP:OR rules still apply even if you are Margaret Chan, Angus Nicoll or Joseph Bresee. Your addition to the 2009 swine influenza article stating it was not technically a strain of swine influenze was wrong on many levels. Not just because it was pure OR, but because it contradicted a later part of the article which was sourced and stated some researchers do consider it a strain of swine influenze. If you can find sources that say it is not swine influenza you are welcome to add them to the article so we can better discuss the controversy over the name, but we do need sources not your say so and it probably shouldn't go into the lead unless we can somehow find a way to sum up the controversy Nil Einne (talk) 04:55, 30 April 2009 (UTC)


 * How do you understand that I have a medical background? Anyway, I think you mean to call it unsourced, not OR.  Many people do "call" it swine influenza;  unfortunately, that does not make it so.  --Una Smith (talk) 13:53, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi. You need to explain why you delete a tag and you did not in article Swine influenza. This is a current event and you can not delete a current event tag.

Hi. A while back, you tagged Bryophyta with disambig-plants, which is inappropriate for this article when you note that the text explicitly says the article is about groups with the same common name. Additionally, the tag seem to have confused at least one bot, who did not know the page was a disambguation page as a result of the specialized template. I'm not sure how to address that second issue, but given that the text of the template isn't appropriate for the Bryophyta page, I have restored the original generic disambiguation tag. --EncycloPetey (talk) 23:17, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Those articles have few editors, and some of them are not very fun to deal with. You should have been around back when Deathmolor was trying to get his Linker program included in the timeline of file sharing - like [this diff], where Kbrose was reverting the mutually-agreed-upon deletion of off-topic content (pages of Deathmolor going on about how I was ruining the article, and me being stupid enough to attempt explanations of why this was unwelcome at the talk page) - this was after Deathmolor was blocked+unblocked/wristslapped for legal threats. Good times. Anyway :) It's nice to see some attempt at keeping things civil. I appreciate your efforts. Thank you.    M   06:03, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. I was having some trouble understanding the reasoning that this message is a reply to. Are you able to see how both articles being related constitutes a reason for using a hat link over a dab page, as an exception to WP:D? You need not agree or disagree with the reason, but I was hoping another pair of eyes could pick out something that both David and I were missing.   M   00:00, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

I can see how David Levy sees it that way; that argument basically rests on some notion of etymology, and it is an argument that comes up often in proposals to move article pages. Anyway, the other editor is entitled to an opinion, and I know WP:RM regulars would not be in the least moved by that argument. I think you would get more mileage out of debating the question itself, rather than arguing with another editor (do you see the difference?). Seek to persuade others reading the debate of your position, and do no let your arguments deteriorate to the level of "is to" / "is not". David Levy did deny the article is the primary topic, which is strong support for your position. The reason I did not push more is that I think the article needs an extensive rewrite and then a move. Its topic and scope are not clearly defined. I added text saying peer-to-peer is in contrast to client-server and master-slave, and someone else deleted it as irrelevant. This is absurd. In some computing environments, peer-to-peer and master-slave are alternative architectures. In supercomputing, for example. Either this is an article that covers it all, in which case it has to include any computing environment the reader may have in mind, or the article has some other, narrower scope. I am thinking this article is an example of Blind men and an elephant. --Una Smith (talk) 16:33, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Kidney tumour vs. kidney cancer
Hello,

Thanks for splitting-out kidney cancer from renal cell carcinoma. It was something that was on my todo list. Above said, I think there has to be some more re-organization.

You write on your user page that you often edit articles about cancer. On this topic, I'd like to point-out that tumour and cancer are not the same thing; cancers are malignant, i.e. can metastasize. Tumours may be malignant. Both tumours and cancer are clonal, i.e. derived from one (mutated) cell.

Things get messy when doctors aren't sure whether something is malignant, e.g. a pheochromocytoma is sometimes malignant and sometimes it isn't. In any case, I think it is worth trying to keep things separate; things that are clearly malignant, e.g. renal cell carcinoma, are cancers. Things that are benign tumours, e.g. angiomyolipoma, cystic nephroma, renal oncocytoma are not cancer and IMHO shouldn't be in the cancer article.

173.33.192.50 (talk) 18:06, 2 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. The article Cancer is watched by several editors, myself not included;  have you brought up your concerns about that article on its talk page?  I recommend posting on WP:MED a heads-up / invitation to any discussion.  Also, for many tumors there is no bright line between benign and malignant, hence no bright line between tumor and cancer.  Wikipedia has gradually evolved articles about tumors by location, and by histology.  In creating Kidney cancer, I was furthering that trend.  I have very little opinion re whether the by-location articles generally should have "tumor" or "cancer" in their page name. --Una Smith (talk) 01:20, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

 * The links to the dab page are deliberate, and appropriate. If the text says "Durham City" then it needs to be disambiguated!  --Una Smith (talk) 20:56, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * No they doesn't, they invariably mean the settlement rather than the local government district. Especially in the case of Bishop Auckland. Also, linking to Durham, England over Durham is a bit disruptive until the discussion is resolved. Nev1 (talk) 21:00, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Apparently that is not true, since there is a dab page at Durham City. --Una Smith (talk) 21:18, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Why are you continuing to link to a redirect page? It's pointless. Nev1 (talk) 21:10, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It is not pointless. As "Durham, England" is a common form of reference to the place, it has a redirect Durham, England and editors should use it.  Two adjacent links to different articles, one only remotely relevant, are hard on readers.  --Una Smith (talk) 21:18, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * It is pointless as it's quite likely to be removed after consensus emerges on the talk page as to what should be done. Also, your edits aren't restricted to merging to adjacent links, but include changing "Durham, England" to "Durham, England", introducing a needless redirect. What's the point in that? It's not commonly referred to as Durham, England, but Durham as Chzz demonstrated on talk:Durham. Nev1 (talk) 21:28, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Why make this edit when South Shields, Durham, England would by your reasoning be better? Because there isn't a problem with adjacent links. It's a false argument being used to justify wholesale changes without consensus. Please desist. Nev1 (talk) 22:35, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * In the nicest possible way. You do not know what you are doing.  Please stop.  I consider your edits to articles such as Bishop Auckland vandalism.  They linked to the correct article and you have moved them to a DAB page. I have personally spent a great deal of time ensuring that article references the correct articles. Pit-yacker (talk) 21:40, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Pit-yacker, are you saying you are personally responsible for such hideous devices as "Durham City"? --Una Smith (talk) 22:15, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Could you address the point about linking to the wrong page? Nev1 (talk) 22:17, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * As someone who originates from County Durham, at least within the county, Durham City is frequently used to distinguish Durham from the county. However, this usage doesn't really extend beyond the county as the difference in what is quite a rural county becomes less important at a national level. However, the point is really irrelevant as in this case because I had ensured that Bishop Auckland linked to the correct article. Pit-yacker (talk) 22:24, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * You might like to fix the other incoming links to Durham City. Thanks!  --Una Smith (talk) 22:57, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I thought it might be best to wait until the present debate has finished. That way they only need doing once. Pit-yacker (talk) 23:02, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * They are all yours. --Una Smith (talk) 00:45, 28 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I repeat my point that you do not know enough about the subject matter to make these edits. For example, at Kepier Hospital, Gilesgate is an area of Durham city so it is quite correct to say Gilesgate, Durham. I consider your edits vandalism. Pit-yacker (talk) 22:39, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, thanks. --Una Smith (talk) 22:57, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Friendly warning
Hi! I read the thread at AN/I, and I reviewed your edit contributions and the discussion at Talk:Durham. At Wikipedia, we have a rule against edit-warring, which disrupts the encyclopedia and prevents us all from getting useful work done. While you haven't violated the three-revert rule on any one page, your edits related to Durham appear to me to have the net effect of edit-warring. It looks like there's no consensus that these links need to be changed, and although you are aware that other editors disagree with you that this change is the best thing for the encyclopedia, you seem to be trying to force your desired version into the encyclopedia. That's a problem. As far as I can tell from reading the discussion at Talk:Durham, you are the only person who thinks that these edits should be made, which means that, at the moment, you're editing against consensus. That's a problem, too. It looks like you've been informed that your edits are a problem, and been asked to pause until the discussion is complete, but you've chosen to continue. The next step would be a short block, which will allow the conversation to continue to form a consensus on this question without the distraction of your edits. If you'd like me to help in this situation by blocking you, let me know by making another edit related to Durham which doesn't have clear consensus at Talk:Durham. Thank you. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 01:18, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

You added some articles to Other to-dos. Those you added was quite well written with much texts (thanks for the contributions).

If it is more like a personal to-do list for you, like you know what is still missing, then you can keep it on your user page as your own to-do list. BTW.

I just moved this page from Wallingford. Any chance you could clear up the incoming links so that I can move the dab page to Wallingford? Vegaswikian (talk) 00:41, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Hm. The list of incoming links isn't updating to reflect your navbox changes.  I'll wait a while to see if the problem goes away;  if not, a bug report may be necessary.  --Una Smith (talk)

Re Wallingford - I don't understand the relevance of your argument that incoming links to the various pages may have needed to be fixed - the fact remains that there were vastly more links to the Wallingford page that related to the town in Oxford - and those were correct links (whether they may have been incorrect at some stage seems of little consequence). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.150.128.169 (talk) 22:24, 13 November 2009 (UTC)


 * The relevance is that when an article (rather than a dab page) occupies an ambiguous base name, editors who fix incoming links usually fix only those that don't intend the article. Thus, over time correct links tend to be the majority of incoming links, although not necessarily the majority of incoming links made to the page.  Do you see the difference, and why it matters?  --Una Smith (talk) 22:36, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Wallingford, again
Hi, with this edit you created a redlink. What evidence do you have for the existence of such a school in Wallingford? If your answer is "The Edward Woodward article", I'm afraid that I have expressed concerns there, see Talk:Edward Woodward. --Redrose64 (talk) 22:16, 16 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I searched Wikipedia and found several articles apparently referring to it without linking, in addition to the incoming links. I did not search the web, until now.  I expect the school no longer exists.  Could this Elmwood School be the Elmwood School of Gardening, a horticultural college for women?  Massively abusing Google, I obtained the snippets "Waterperry Horticultural School, near Oxford, Oxfordshire, was the most important as", "Originally, the Elmwood School of Gardening was established c.1902 at Cosham, Portsmouth, Hampshire, by Miss Ruth Cornelius Wheeler, an early student at Lady Warwick Hostel", and "The Horticultural College at Swanley took women pupils from 1891, while the Lady Warwick Hostel at Reading, Berkshire, opened in the autumn of 1898." All from this source.  Another source snippet "Waterperry Horticultural School for Women in Oxfordshire" puts the Waterperry school "near Oxford".  Another approach would be to identify which editors added mentions of the school to Wikipedia and ask them for details. --Una Smith (talk) 22:46, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

In any event, this is a question about an entry on the dab page Elmwood School, not the dab page Wallingford. If it cannot be substantiated, delete it.
 * My main concern is with the article Edward Woodward. As you may be aware, he died today. I hardly think that he went to a horticultural college for women, given his working-class background. Don't really see how "Waterperry" fits in.
 * If you look at the page history for 12 November you'll see that just before, I and immediately  because I couldn't see how Wallingford, Oxfordshire fitted in with the rest of the paragraph, which all concerns schools, etc. in the Croydon/Sutton area - seventy miles from Wallingford, Oxfordshire I believe. The word Wallingford originally entered the article with . Bit difficult to ask an IP editor what their source was. My intention was to find out a bit more by actually going to Wallingford and asking there - it's a 30-min bus ride from where I live in Didcot, and the local authority's offices are just over the river in Crowmarsh Gifford. Being unable to go on 13 Nov, I intended doing that this afternoon; but then he went and died this morning and it's all gone horribly wrong. All recently-deceased people attract edits like ghouls, often unsourced; there have been approx 100 edits since your dab. If you now google "Elmwood School Wallingford" pretty much everything non-American that turns up mentions Woodward, often word-identical to Wikipedia. One even has a [dubious - discuss] in the text. It looks like all the obit writers have been checking Wikipedia, and now we've possibly fed them duff info. --Redrose64 (talk) 23:29, 16 November 2009 (UTC)


 * If "Elmwood School at Wallingford" is misinformation, it is old misinformation dated over 2 years ago. Likely many of those websites copied Wikipedia long before either of us ever saw the article.  And some content on the Wikipedia article may be a copy from one of them.  Who knows?  Is the location of one school this man attended as a child in any way important?  --Una Smith (talk) 00:12, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, certainly some of it was copied from WP yesterday, at 13:59 or later, since I only placed the tag with . To me, which schools he attended are unimportant, except for those directly influencing his later life, such as drama school. However, to others they may be important; and I would prefer to be accurate rather than misleading. The number of peole who have visited the page in the last 24 hours is more than the total number of views in the preceding six months: there were over 100000 views of it yesterday compared to an average of 322 per day for 1-15 November; and around 10000 per month prior to that.
 * That's what annoys me. With 300 hits per day, not many people will care. But with 100000, it

I don't know. Maybe I should just delete it as unsourced trivia. --Redrose64 (talk) 11:07, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Could you make a proposal, support it with sound arguments and references to policy, then let other editors discuss it instead of manipulating other editors into supporting you? I read the Bird of Paradise discussion and some others wiht you and dabs. You often have good suggestions for dabs, but your proposals are sometimes offensive and condescending to those you propose them to and to your idea itself. If it's a good idea presenting it in a neutral and factual way will allow for a discussion of the idea. Certainly this note will be poorly received. Admit it's hard to make it nice after being manipulated by you into asking a question that could lead you to post the answer you had prepared.

 * Hey Uma. I saw an edit about poppy seed crops being in conflict with opium poppy cultivation. When they bleed the poppy seed head to get opium does it actually kill or adversely affect seed development? A citation would be good. Cheers. ChildofMidnight (talk) 05:25, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Didn't I give a source? That sentence concerns modern commercial harvesting, and belongs to a larger topic I have been developing off Wikipedia.  Traditional harvesting bleeds the fruits (seed pods) which stresses the plant so it does not set as much seed, but it does allow seed to set and mature.  Modern commercial harvesting of opium poppies involves mowing and processing the whole plant while the fruit is still green, at a stage where the seeds are not usable.  The idea that the consumer is at risk from tainted poppy seeds that are a secondary crop of illicit opium fields is a ding specifically against "third world" traditional harvesters and "imported" poppy seeds.  I want to look into this more;  in the meantime, should I remove the sentence?  --Una Smith (talk) 05:39, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Common names
I thought it would be a good idea to set down my ideas about where the border between real common names (lion) and pseudo-common names (the ones I RMed) lies, which is now at User:Ucucha/Titles. Do you think that's a reasonable way to have things? Thanks, Ucucha 16:25, 5 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Some suggestions. To me, the issue is made much clearer by using "vernacular name" rather than "common name" (an ambiguous term) when the intent is to refer to a vernacular name rather than a widely used name.  Also, instead of "title" use "page name".  Each page has a single page name, but it may have multiple titles represented by redirects.  Say rather than "common names have been proposed", "vernacular names have been proposed" and add "but in many cases they are neologisms that never enter use."  --Una Smith (talk) 16:45, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that. "Vernacular name" is not perfect either, as it suggests the name has entered the vernacular, i.e. common usage, but at least it's less confusing. "Page name" is also clearer than "article title", so I changed that too. Ucucha 16:59, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * That is a problem of POV in the article Vernacular name, conflating vernacular with prevalent. To appreciate the distinction, consider for example Dictionary of American Regional English (DARE).  Every entry in DARE is a vernacular word selected because it is not a prevalent word.  --Una Smith (talk) 17:04, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Still, a word in DARE is different from a neologism common name in that it is in actual (though non-standard English) usage. But this discussion isn't very relevant in that we already agree that "vernacular name" is the best term to use. Ucucha 22:34, 5 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your message. You're quite right that this was efficient, and thanks for the suggestion. I reverted it, though, because you added it to my archive, not my actual talk page. Ucucha 17:19, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Expanding Anthony Roll
Nice to see someone paying attention to Anthony Roll. However, you should have a look at User:Peter Isotalo/project. I've had an update brewing for some time now that I plan to unveil in conjunction with an upcoming press release related to the Mary Rose.

Just so you're not surprised about their being a sudden expansion within the next few days.

Peter Isotalo 19:12, 25 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Una, your help with the two articles is much appreciated. I'll be quite busy the coming week, so would it possible for you to help out with DYK hooks? I can help out tweaking them, but it'd be great if you got the ball rolling on alts.

A thought on DYK nom Alemayehu Bezabeh
I'm thinking to promote it with a hook .. that Alemayehu Bezabeh, the 2009 European Cross Country Champion, had to have X-ray tests to estimate his age? because it is interesting and making people think about the use of X-rays :-). I understand that it only told his bones stopped growing. Your opinion? If you're interested, it would be nice to wikilink that part (wrist X-ray for aging) to the article (I'm running away for an hour). Cheers. Materialscientist (talk) 00:47, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Main page Wikistalking dab bot
You mentioned a desire to have the WildBot check all articles nominated to appear on the Main Page: nominations for Today's featured article, Did you know, In the news, On this day. Were there any others? All featured articles, all featured content? Anything nominated for GA, or Peer review?

Something I'd have to look at is how to pick up nominations; for example, for DYK I'd pick up the article to check from the 3rd level heading ====Slade's Case==== ; for DYK should all linked text in the DYK be checked? Should the bot make a note under the nomination that ambiguous links were found?

Similar questions would need to be examined for each closely monitored project/process. How about we figure out the broad technical details, then take a proposal to each appropriate talk page? Josh Parris 12:42, 1 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I would not call it "wikistalking", and a reasonable first step would be to float the idea on the relevant talk pages. --Una Smith (talk) 23:34, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Moves
I've noted that you can "go for it" as for closing the discussion at Talk:Coregonus albula. The page vendace ought to be one of those "extended dabs", no? I'd like to note that you have quite frequently said some rather strange things about "pseudovernacular names" at requested moves. For example, at Talk:Cepola haastii you said that the name "red bandfish" was such a name. It decidedly is not. It is the valid common name, it just seemed (it turns out it does) to refer multiple species. —innotata (Talk • Contribs) 23:43, 5 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I closed it. You can close too, by the way;  no admin bits involved in doing nothing.  By "pseudo vernacular" I mean an apparent vernacular name that in fact is not in vernacular use.  The type certainly exists.  Many are protologisms (neologisms) created by taxonomists in otherwise reliable sources.  On Talk:Cepola haastii I think I mistyped.  I strike it:  pseudo .  --Una Smith (talk) 00:01, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

I've also proposed another move at Talk:Stechlin cisco. What do you make of this one? —innotata (Talk • Contribs) 23:44, 5 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I'll take a look. --Una Smith (talk) 00:01, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Could you please wait for the move discussions to complete before acting on them? Thanks.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 21:17, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * How is that? I am not moving anything.  I am fixing links, a separate activity.  Does it matter in the least whether links go to articles or to redirects to those articles?  Is my fixing links what concerns you, or is it something else? --Una Smith (talk) 21:24, 6 January 2010 (UTC)


 * It's generaly considered best for links to point dirrectly at articles unless the redirect is pointing at a future article creation target. Less risk of double redirect issues and the like.©Geni 21:28, 6 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Piping says It is not necessary to pipe links simply to avoid redirects. --Una Smith (talk) 21:31, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed but it's generaly considered a bad idea to pipe links towards redirects.©Geni 21:33, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Am I doing that? I thought I was removing pipes. --Una Smith (talk) 21:37, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * here for example.©Geni 21:39, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * The link in question was a redirect to a dab. Also, while I was fixing links someone else moved the target without telling me.  I thought I was fixing a dablink and not piping a redirect. --Una Smith (talk) 21:45, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Which is why it would be a good I dea to wait untill the end of the move debate before making any such changes.©Geni 21:53, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Good point. I shall take your advice and refrain from making any more pipes. --Una Smith (talk) 22:06, 6 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Redirects says Do not "fix" links to redirects that are not broken and Introducing unnecessary invisible text makes the article more difficult to read in page source form. --Una Smith (talk) 21:37, 6 January 2010 (UTC)


 * … but where does it say the reverse is desirable? at Creole changed a direct wikilink (Criollo) to a redirect to the same page: Criollo (disambiguation). Why? -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:16, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
 * That is the convention to separate intentional links to the dab from accidental, ambiguous ones. See WP:INTDABLINK.  --Una Smith (talk) 15:00, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia.

Lemon liqueur
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Lemon liqueur, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.wheelsofitaly.com/wiki/index.php/Limoncello. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 17:19, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi. :) Not Coren, but I wanted to say that this kind of thing comes up now and again and is really nothing to worry about. When the bot picks up mirrors, it can help us identify unattributed copying. This didn't happen in your case, so all is well. I've cleared the article at Suspected copyright violations/2010-01-13. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:05, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Assumption of bad faith
Hi there, I am still receiving WP:AOBF remarks by an editor. Is WP:AN the place for that? Because the top of AN states: If you are here to report a violation of Wikipedia's policies on civility or personal attacks, please instead raise them at Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts. According to WP:AOBF, It can be seen as a personal attack if bad faith motives are alleged without clear evidence that the others' action is actually in bad faith. Any pointers? Many thanks in advance. Rapido (talk) 18:47, 13 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I think that text needs to be updated. WQA is not for personal attacks, apart from helping to winnow personal attacks from masses of incivility.


 * As for what is bothering you now, I can follow your contributions but I cannot guess exactly which contributions by other editors are bothering you. Please compose a brief statement of the problem as you see it, with the most relevant diffs, and post that to WQA.  --Una Smith (talk) 21:03, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Colitis-X
After the matter was raised at my talk page, I've reviewed your edits at Colitis-X and your assertions at Talk:Colitis-X, as well as your suggested changes to the hook at the DYK nomination page. It's my view that your changes are not helpful, and far worse, that you're renewing your feud with Montanabw. Knock it off, and find somewhere else to edit, or you will be blocked for disruption. You've been warned about this issue before so I'm not going to go through a big long round and round with you. ++Lar: t/c 02:55, 14 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Lar, that sounds like a topic ban or something. Isn't there an established procedure for requesting topic bans? --Una Smith (talk) 03:39, 14 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Lar, I've also reviewed Una's edits, particularly her comments at Talk:Colitis-X. It's my view that the problems she raises at the talk page are perfectly valid:
 * The Schiefer ref does not support the article's claim that "the disease has been attributed to viruses, parasites, bacteria, use of antibiotics and sulfonamides and heavy metal poisoning" – in fact, it contradicts it and that text needs to be removed as unsupported.
 * The University of Arizona study simply does not provide support for "More likely it is Clostridium difficile; ...". Colitis X was not the diagnosis, merely suspected as being present; and more importantly, a study based on one animal is never going to be enough to support the phrase "More likely".
 * Una was being polite in not stating outright that the article is riddled with WP:SYNTH, and her comments are valuable in attempting to improve this article.
 * There is a chilling effect of threatening to block an editor for disruption, and that is counter-productive to collaborative editing when it is clear that an editor is offering useful comments. I know nothing of any feud, but that really is not the point here. I believe you have the best intentions, but in this case I'd ask you to seriously reconsider the effects of your comments here and humbly request you refactor what you have written above. --RexxS (talk) 04:05, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * RexxS: You don't have the background, Una has a history of harassing Montanabw and other editors and it has to stop. Una needs to disengage from articles that Montanabw starts because she cannot productively interact. The merits of the specific edits are not the problem, it's the undue attention to topics started by Montanabw. It's a big wiki, there's plenty of other stuff to work on. My warning stands. ++Lar: t/c 06:02, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for taking the time to reply, Lar. I'm sorry I was not clear enough to help you understand my point. It is simply this: When other editors see perfectly valid criticism of an article being quoted as "not helpful" or disruptive, it is a problem. I understand that may not have been your intention, but that is nevertheless the effect. I still think you should couch your comments more carefully. My apologies to Una for taking up space on her talk page. --RexxS (talk) 09:48, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 20:18, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Vaginal delivery


A tag has been placed on Vaginal delivery requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.meduweb.com/threads/31642-Natural-Vaginal-Child-Birth-Delivery-Videos. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". 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 removed 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.

Cut of pork
Hi,

I am reviewing old articles in the NewPagesFeed and found that the core article content is a duplicate of what is in Pork, so I redirected the article there.

The rest is a bunch of lists, which should really be formatted into a "List of ...." type of article. In addition, there is a lot of uncited content, so if you want to create a list page, there really should be citations for where you received the content.
