Cite LSA
Hi, thanks for updating Cite LSA, I was wondering if you could make some changes to it to make it more compatible with other citaion templates. For example it uses "pagevegin" and "pageend", where a single field for "pages" would be useful. It also would be easier with parameters for chapters in addition to title, so that we dont need the "booktitle" parameter. Also pubplace would be better named as location. Such changes would make it easier to change from CS1 to Cite LSA which I am thinking of doing in most of my language articles.·maunus · snunɐɯ· 18:36, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Incomplete DYK nomination
Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Black Sign Variation at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; see step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with db-g7, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 02:35, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello,

Your newly repaired nomination has been reviewed. While your interesting article meets most requirements, it still needs some citations to complete it. If you have any difficulty with this, please feel free to ask me for help.

 * Thank you for reviewing my submission and for your feedback. I'm unsure of what you mean by "cites needed to "close" the paragraph" in your comment at Template:Did you know nominations/Black Sign Variation. Is it simply that each paragraph should have a citation at the end for the information within it or is there another meaning I'm unaware of such as specific paragraphs need citations?

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Kill the Irishman GA nomination
Hi, thanks for taking a look at Kill the Irishman's GA nomination. I've been working hard to improve the article and have closely abided by your advice. I was wondering if you can give me any more help and advice, if you feel that the article still needs further improving to meet the GA requirements. Thanks.

Metal121 (talk) 09:43, July 02, 2015 (GMT).
 * , thanks for the quick revisions! I've added some more to the review page based upon your revisions. It's still on hold as a few things need to still be addressed. Mostly, it's some sourcing and WP:OR problems that I went over on that page. If you have any questions, feel free to keep asking! Wugapodes (talk) 14:07, 2 July 2015 (UTC)


 * , thanks for the extra guidance and advice - in regards to the article's GA nomination. It's much appreciated! I have further edited the article (including: the box office section, the section on Art Sneperger's death (by adding the correct references that support the information), the plot (adding references in regards to the plot of the actual movie), and I've re-arranged the article and edited it - in compliance with Wikipedia's MoS (Manual of Style). I'd appreciate it if you could take another look at the article for me. Again, thanks for all of your help! Metal121 18:46, July 02, 2015 (GMT).

, thanks for clarfying what you meant! I've attended to the areas that have needed addressing. This includes the lead at the top section, the rewriting of the paragraph on Licavoli (in the plot section), and the section on Art Sneperger's death. I feel that the new sources are adequate for the section on Sneperger's death and the rumours surrounding it, but if it isn't, then I will delete that section if need be. Again thanks for your help!. I look forward to hearing back from you.

Varieties of American Sign Language
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Varieties of American Sign Language, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Bolivian Sign Language. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

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. CorenSearchBot (talk) 03:52, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Ellalan (monarch)
Hellow, thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. But why you removed tag of "move discussion" from Talk:Ellalan (monarch)? And your intro to RfC "Should the page be renamed or remain at this title?" is very uninformative and do not give idea of the topic. At least you change your intro as "Should page be renamed from Ellalan (monarch) to Elara?". If you can't change your intro then at least restore the "move" tag. Thank you. --Human3015 (talk) 19:36, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
 * per WP:RFC, a request for comment should have "a brief, neutral statement of or question about the issue." Your statement that "The article title in its present form (Ellalan) is incorrect." is non-neutral and, as it was a paragraph, I assumed it was more an argument in the discussion than a statement or question for the RfC. So I added a question so that others who read the RfC know what is being discussed.
 * I shouldn't have removed the move tag, rather, it should have been substituted. I will fix that right now. Wugapodes (talk) 19:49, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
 * After putting the template back in, I realized that the template works strangely. It seems you put the template in correctly and the results just look weird. Wugapodes (talk) 20:00, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

ELBURDEN
I started a discussion on it once again. It says disputed links remain out. I've worked hard to try to understand the different viewpoints of the Pirate Bay dispute, but at this point I have to agree with the comments made before I became involved: editors simply aren't interested in following consensus. ELBURDEN documents consensus on how to address such disputes. I think it is more than two months overdue that we follow it and end this absolutely ridiculous dispute. --Ronz (talk) 19:26, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree that the links should not be there, that doesn't mean I am going to actively undermine a dispute resolution process. While you criticise others for not following consensus at ELBURDEN, consensus at WP:Dispute resolution is very clear: "Do not continue edit warring; once sustained discussion begins, productively participating in it is a priority." If you believe that the RfC has no consensus and should be closed, seek to close the RfC. But right now all that is happening right now is an unnecessary escalation of the situation which is beneficial to no one. Wugapodes (talk) 19:38, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * ELBURDEN says they don't belong.
 * I brought it up on the talk page before removing them.
 * It's beneficial to the encyclopedia and all involved that we move on. That's why we have ELBURDEN - so we're not wasting time on external link disputes. --Ronz (talk) 19:44, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * And when you brought it up on the talk page, another editor voiced their opposition citing the previous time you attempted this. You continued to do it. It is beneficial to the encyclopedia if process is followed. We don't have a deadline. No one's life depends on whether those links are removed today or two weeks from now or never. Summarily ignoring an active discussion is the opposite of beneficial to the encyclopedia. Wugapodes (talk) 19:50, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * That editor didn't address the guideline, rather focused on me. That violates WP:DR and WP:CON. It is just one of the many IDHT problems that dominate the dispute, preventing the applicable policies and guidelines from being followed. These problems have been going on from the dispute's very beginning, more than two months ago, before I ever was involved. --Ronz (talk) 19:57, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I brought it up on the talk page before removing them. - If you're talking about this latest occurrence, no, you did not. You removed the links first, and then brought it up on the talk page 6 minutes later. I won't comment on your other claims. I'm sure Wugapodes doesn't want his talk page filled with extraneous content. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 20:09, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Minor thing, my preferred pronoun is "they", not "he". Wugapodes (talk) 20:23, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * AussieLegend, welcome to the discussion. You are incorrect. ELBURDEN has been brought up time and time again. The last two times by me. I'm referring to the, followed by . You'll note those were four days ago. During that same period, you appeared to withdraw from discussing your points on why the links should be included . --Ronz (talk) 21:00, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I know where you're coming from and understand your reasoning. Participation there has been far from cordial from all sides of the argument. And while my post on your talk page was probably harsher and more provocative than I intended, I meant it to convey that, while I believe everything you're saying is correct, undermining a dispute resolution process isn't the way to further it, and that continuation would probably end in an ANI report from someone over there. The last thing anyone needs is a block, and I intended it as a way to get you to realize that you were on that path. It was supposed to be more of a nudge than the shove it turned out to be, but I truly think that continuing to not go along with the process in such a contentious matter will not be good for anyone. That's my two cents. Wugapodes (talk) 20:20, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I agree. It's time to deescalate once again. --Ronz (talk) 21:04, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

CANVASS
Hi, can you confirm you're not an admin please? For that reason I've chosen to discuss your edit summary at ANI her at user talk in my report about me, seeking education on SPAM vs APPNOTE. Your edit sum said it was the scale of the postings that made my acts a CANVASS problem. Please show me something - anything - in our guidelines that limits the number of pages to which one can send an identical WP:APPNOTE?

You see, I have trouble believing that the US cattlemen's association page watchers were going to see it at the Sierra Club's page, and I'm also pretty certain the Sierra Clubbers aren't hanging out at the Sovereign Cit's Movement. All these subjects are likely to be interested, from a variety of viewpoints. Thus, you seem to be claiming that by trying hard to pull in diversity I somehow stepped across a line that converted APPNOTE to disruptive CANVASSING.

That could be, and I invite you to explain why with logic... or it was just a gut feeling, or what?NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 22:03, 16 January 2016 (UTC)


 * My user rights log is empty as I am not an admin (or any other privileged user for that matter).
 * Anyway, I recommend you read WP:CANVASS in full as that's where most of what I'm going to quote is drawn from. WP:APPNOTE itself says: "The talk page of one or more articles, WikiProjects, or other Wikipedia collaborations directly related to the topic" There's a reason the recommended number it states is "one", because too many is problematic. Additionally, the topic should be "directly related". While the Sierra Club may be interested, it's a stretch to say they're "directly related" to the Oregon Occupation.
 * So what's the problem with excessive cross posting anyway? Well, the arbitration committee has stated that "The occasional light use of cross-posting to talk pages is part of Wikipedia's common practice. Excessive cross-posting goes against current Wikipedia community norms" (IZAK case). Canvassing says that "If the editors are uninvolved, the message has the function of "spam" and is disruptive to that user's experience. More importantly, recruiting too many editors to a WP:dispute resolution can often make resolving the dispute impossible. Remember the purpose of a notification is to improve the dispute resolution process, not to disrupt it."
 * Remember that article talk pages are for discussion about improving that article (WP:TALK states "Keep discussions focused on how to improve the article."), so posts about another discussion somewhere else likely doesn't contribute to improving that article. For example, the Oregon Occupation has little to do with improving coverage of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association so a post there, while maybe of interest to some of them, is not very appropriate for the article's talk page since it won't be particularly helpful for improving that article. If it were, for example, a discussion about a policy change related to farming articles, it might be good to post there because that would affect that page. Further, while not votestacking is important, when you invite 9 different pages all with differing views to one discussion on a page they weren't following in the first place, it can create a lot of drama and not much consensus.
 * In my opinion, the best way to publicize is on WikiProject talk pages. For example, you would reach 170 people, all of whom are interested in Oregon-related things by posting once to Wikipedia Talk:WikiProject Oregon. Another post on Talk:Bundy standoff gets you another 88 views, and this topic is directly related to their coverage as coverage of the Oregon Occupation may be pertinent to coverage there. Wugapodes (talk) 22:32, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
 * First, APPNOTE doesn't say "one", does it? And if you think Sierra Club is a stretch, you probably haven't read "Malheur Refuge Takeover Just the Latest Twist on a Long Running Story".   Thanks for a calm explanation, even if it hasn't convinced me my shout outs were even remotely disruptive. But I'm still listening and willing to learn.  I'll watch for further input at the ANI thread.  NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 23:56, 16 January 2016 (UTC)  PS the project tip is interesting.

Request edit
Hi Wugapodes. I have a COI with Juniper Networks, which I brought up to GA a while back. It's a multi-billion dollar network equipment company that provides the hardware for a lot of ISPs, etc. There is an article on one of their product families Juniper MX-Series that is currently somewhat promotional and relies heavily on primary sources. I have shared a draft on the Talk page that would make it less promotional, replace primary sources with secondary ones, focuses on history and development rather than product brochure information, and even adds the criticism that they were late to market.

It seems pretty obvious that it shouldn't be a COI problem, but I have gone through the usual process of suggesting my draft on the Talk page about 1.5 months ago. I was hoping you might be able to spare a moment and take a look if you have time. David King, Ethical Wiki (CorporateM) (Talk) 16:14, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Clarity on dispute resolution
Hey, you were trying to clear the situation. Dispute resolution process was brought up. Again I apologize if I were mistaken about the noticeboard. Then someone wrote that a dispute resolution can't happen alongside an RfC. Is there really such a rule? I mean an RfC is "Request for Comments", not necessarily directly in command of the situation? I do thank you for trying to clear the situation. Most people don't want to bother even reading through even a bit let alone getting to understand the matter. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 10:33, 22 February 2016 (UTC)


 * It's no problem. So what was meant was that the dispute resolution noticeboard doesn't take disputes that are being resolved by an RfC because the consensus level of an RfC is greater than the noticeboard (ie, more editors are notified and participate in an RfC than at DRN so the consensus is stronger). However, DRN and RfCs are for content disputes while ANI is largely for issues of editor conduct. When I said "resolve the dispute" I meant the editor conduct issues rather than the content dispute. Hopefully that clears things up for you! Wugapodes (talk) 17:30, 22 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Alright, thanks for the guidance. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 21:11, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
