Southern Govia

Hello, You moved the contract value from the lead to the main body in the comments but didn't actually do it. Additionally the removal of the Grayling failing to intervene has been done twice, firstly with a comment saying the source didn't include it which it did and on the second time without comment. These are details that are not widely known and worthy of being pointed out. I see you are active in political wiki pages, please assure me you are not overly invested in any particular side. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.97.100.64 (talk) 20:44, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you discuss this at the article talk page, which can be found at Talk:Southern (Govia Thameslink Railway) Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 20:48, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Conservative Party Position Reference

Thanks for adding the reference. I asked for one because it seemed a bit inconsistent for many political parties (especially American ones) to have "position" parameters removed for lack of citation while a governing party of a major nation like the Conservatives had unsourced, uncited claims, no matter how obvious the information is.--Sunshineisles2 (talk) 00:31, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve People's Quantitative Easing

Hi, I'm Musa Raza. Absolutelypuremilk, thanks for creating People's Quantitative Easing!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This page doesn't belong to any categories.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Musa Talk  09:34, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tim Farron

Hi, regarding your edit summary, can I point you to WP:BLP and in particular this clause of the policy Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately [my emphasis] and without waiting for discussion. It was based on this policy that I judged it was not appropriate to tag a serious POV issue with {{cn}} and move on; removal is the preferred option. Don't get me wrong, your rewrite is good and the remaining uncited element is not contentious. I just wanted to draw your attention to the policy in this area in case you weren't familiar with it should something like this come up again. Thanks - QuiteUnusual (talk) 21:28, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Council Tax/Bailiff Guardian Article

Dear Absolutelypuremilk,

I made the edit to the Council Tax Page because there was no information about Council Tax Enforcement on the page. The news article caused a big conversation amongst many stakeholders in Council Tax Enforcement but Council Tax Enforcement does not have it's own Wiki page.

Council Tax Managers at various local authorities, CIVEA - professional standards body for bailiffs, Local Government Ombudsman, Met Police, IPCC, CPS, Guardian Money, This Is Money were involved in discussions since the article.86.7.125.24 (talk) 15:08, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your edit, I realise you were trying to be constructive but that is not the place for it. I would suggest you start a new section in the Council Tax article called "Council Tax Enforcement" and you can source content using that link and others that you can find.

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (November 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:
The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Rail transport in Great Britain. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Privatisation of British Rail

Since you appear to be the only other person interested in this article, I thought I would let you know I've just made a few more changes, and would be interested in hearing your opinion (even if it's just a 'no problem'). Basically, I've reduced the 'System' related text down to a single section, split out some material to a new Impact of the privatisation of British Rail, and refocused the Proposals section to be about political positions, which it largely was anyway. I think this now solves the size issue, and from a Table of Contents position the article looks much more accessible. I think it also better identifies current gaps in coverage (i.e., it wasn't immediately obvious before, despite the amount of text, that the info on political positions is patchy at best). Still lots to do, but it's still all only really putting lipstick on a pig until such time as someone wants to put some serious effort in. Such a shame that most rail people here seem to see this website as some kind of a hobby, rather than feeling any shame for foisting totally incoherent/unorganised rubbish on the unsuspecting public.

UK GDP growth forecast

I took a look at page 84 and noticed a whole host of other agencies with slightly varying figures for the GDP growth forecast. I'm wondering what, if any, thought went into choosing the Office for Budget Responsibility's estimate? According to the report the IMF recently forecast it at 2.5%, which was the previous source on the page. Jolly Ω Janner 03:05, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not completely sure, to be honest I just saw that the OBR had published the 2.4% figure and updated the page (from 2.3%) accordingly. If you think 2.5% is a better estimate then feel very free to change it. Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 09:19, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Considering there are seven different forecasters and none of which warrant their use any more than the last, I think an average of their figures might make sense here. A couple of them were published in October, but the rest in November, so all pretty recent. The mean average would be 2.5 anyway. Jolly Ω Janner 19:50, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think just putting 2.5% and the IMF as a reference is probably the best option then Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 20:12, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Done also updated the source for Q3. Jolly Ω Janner 21:27, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes but its an increase as in positive growth, not as in higher growth than last year Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 22:36, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That's not how I took it and I wonder whether the average reader might make that mistake too. Is there a guideline to suggest doing it that way? Jolly Ω Janner 23:09, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't seen any guidelines on it, but this is the case on pretty much every article I have seen Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 23:42, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]


I wonder why they are needed at all, since the growth itself tells you whether it's going up or down. With the other facts in the infobox such as GDP per capita, it is going up because it is now higher than the previous figure. This is helpful when the previous figure is not included. Jolly Ω Janner 23:52, 26 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I guess that it is an easy way to see whether it is increasing for those short-sighted people who might not be able to tell if there is a minus sign? Possibly something you could take up with the powers that be Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 00:09, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'll make a post on the talk page and see if anyone else is interested in the matter. Jolly Ω Janner 00:22, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

can you help with Art Laffer?

I wanted to say thanks for this edit on Jude Wanniski. I think you were right that there is a consensus against including the material you removed. Unfortunately, when I tried to remove the exact same material from the Art Laffer page, Volunteer Marek/lipsquid reverted [2] me, declaring that i would need to create a new RfC and that the old one wasnt resolved. This is despite the fact that the edits in question were literally identical and i specifically mentioned both in the RfC and on the Art Laffer page my intention to change both. I cant help but notice that neither of them challenged you when you made the change to Jude Wanniski, which leads me to believe that they (assuming they are even different people) have some kind of grudge against me specifically, although i couldnt for the life of me tell you why. Because of this i was hoping that you would remove the same material from Art Laffer that you did from Jude Wanniski, assuming, of course, that you agree that it should be removed. Thanks in advance, and feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns. Bonewah (talk) 22:57, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Rail subsidies

Hello Absolutelypuremilk,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Rail subsidies for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Hama Dryad (talk · contribs · email) 21:25, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

By promotional, I meant that it seemed to be promoting a product or a business without giving proper explanation of why the topic was important or providing adequate references. Since these were absent, I had assumed that this was not a legitimate topic . . . we do get lots of spam and pages of questionable value created here and I patrol new changes sometimes. I am sorry if I marked your page as spam prematurely. What you could do next time is to create the page in your own userspace or sandbox and then hone it there and when you believe that it is ready for Mainspace, just copy and paste it there. This may cause an editor to think twice before deleting a new page. Also, if you disagree with a speedy deletion or prod tag, they can be removed (not AfDs by the way, which need to be subject to consensus). If you wish to recreate the page as a redirect, you may do so. You can use the inprogress tag to indicate also that you may be working on the page and that not has not reached a mature state. Again, my apologies if I tagged your work for removal when I should not have. Hama Dryad (talk · contribs · email) 23:59, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's ok, my problem was that "rail subsidies" can be divided up into European rail subsidies and American rail subsidies. I wanted to create a page which will direct a user to both of these, from rail subsidies. However, what I have done instead is to add a section about both of these to Rail transport and then created the Rail subsidies page to redirect to there. Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 10:47, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

High Speed 2

Hello Absolutelypuremilk; I saw this Special:Diff//722147730 revert on High Speed 2. I'm loathed to revert it again, but I would infer that these corrections had been made by somebody from Scotland/Wales/North Ireland/IoM/… which have their own Parliaments and so where the disambiguation is important. Per WP:EGG, we do not allow piping where the shortened link is the name of another topic; the reversion appears to have re-introduced this issue, because "Parliament" is a generic topic. Could I encourage a self-revert, and then if you still feel strongly to very carefully revert only those changes that are absolutely (purely) necessary. —Sladen (talk) 09:36, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your undoing my edit to Tony Blair

You gave the reason as “Undid revision - needs a secondary source”. Maybe your action was correcting according to a Wikipedia policy. You are a “PhD student and science geek”. I am a 92-year-old old fart. You have made more than 5,000. I have made only 3,000+. However, I question it.

As I read in the vast material about Wikipedia policies, “the distinction between primary and secondary sources is subjective and contextual” and “a primary source can be a person with direct knowledge of a situation, or a document written by such a person.” Even if your opinion that my edit lacked secondary sources is correct, would not my edit be acceptable according to the following policy with which, it seems to me, my edit complied?

“Policy: Unless restricted by another policy, primary sources that have been reputably published may be used in Wikipedia, but only with care.... Any interpretation of primary source material requires a reliable secondary source for that interpretation. A primary source may only be used on Wikipedia to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge. Do not analyze, evaluate, interpret, or synthesize material found in a primary source yourself. Do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them.”

I am going to try a similar edit using more resources, some of which should be classified as secondary. If you undo that edit, I’ll give up. I don’t have the time or energy to fight about it. Cheers, Vejlefjord (talk) 17:32, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for discussing on talk rather than edit warring. Number of edits shouldn't matter, in general we should be able to come to a consensus, or if not then ask for comment from other editors. In this case, the reason that I felt a secondary source was required was that a secondary source would show that it was notable. I am sure that Blair participated in hundreds of debates, is there any reason we should add this one? If secondary sources thought it was notable enough for an article then maybe, but otherwise not. I would accept a primary source if I thought that the information was notable, e.g. if someone added a primary source for his date of birth then obviously that is notable enough to be in there, but without a secondary source then this debate doesn't seem notable enough to be included in what is already a fairly long article.

UK economy updates

Hi there. When you make updates such as this, can I ask that you update the full details of the source, including the title? It's a bit confusing to have data for June 2016 referenced to a source with the title "Labour Market Statistics, January 2015", and is likely to cause further work down the line as someone will need to check whether the data is verified by the source and then update the title.

Rail transport in Japan

Hello Absolutelypuremilk!

I'm a journalist who was looking for some statistics on Japan's rail system, but couldn't find good sourcing for the stats I was looking for at this Wikipedia page. Then, I found them at Japan's own statistics bureau: http://www.stat.go.jp/english/data/handbook/c0117.htm

These figures vary drastically from the ones quoted at Wikipedia (23 billion passengers vs 7.289 billion, and shows rails accounting for over 70% of domestic transport!), and I was curious if you might want to sort it out? I'm new to editing Wikipedia, and thought you might do a better job.

Thanks and hope I did this right!

172.56.17.238 (talk) 01:09, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, it looks like someone has added the figure up incorrectly from the source given just above the table at Rail usage statistics by country and I have changed it now to 9.147 billion which approximately matches the figure given in your source for Japan Railways (allowing for a bit of growth).
The rail figures we quote are just for heavy rail, i.e. not including trams or metro systems (I know the line is sometimes blurred!) so this will account for the difference given in the table you quote, which says that around 9 billion trips are made by Japan Railways but 23 billion in total by "the railways".
If you're not sure about anything else, then feel free to post at either the talk page of the article concerned, or my page. Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 08:54, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sanders party affiliation discussion

Hi Absolutely, you may have missed my input at Talk:Bernie Sanders#Party affiliation since 2015 section, since we posted almost simultaneously. Cheers, User:HopsonRoad 15:35, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I had missed that! I agree that if it was covered in the sense you describe it then it would be notable, but the section seemed to be more about debating the exact status of Sanders at different points in time. Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 15:37, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article on Poverty in the UK

Hello, I was working on the page Poverty in the UK going through the manifestos of the political parties and citing their mentions of poverty, partly because someone had left a previous tag asking for the section to be updated - but you wiped the whole thing! Can you explain a little more please for this particular decision; this will help me get it right next time.

Introductory paragraphs for politicians

Hi there. You reverted an edit I made to Paul Nuttall and I'm curious about it. I removed what I considered excessive 'early life'-type information about his birth and education from the introductory paragraphs. I'd think a strong introduction for a politician would include their current roles, some basics about their general political views, and a potted career history. Not objecting to your revert, but hope to discuss the ideal. Do you know if there's a guide anywhere?

Hi, thanks for your message. I agree that the original material was excessive, so I trimmed it down a bit when I restored it. I haven't seen a guide anywhere, I generally include the place of birth and university education. Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 14:32, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Cheers Milky. Ultimately happy to defer to your judgement but consider that Nigel Farage, Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher, Michael Foot, Clement Atlee, Tim Farron don't have that level of biography in their intro (though, in your favour, Jeremy Corbyn and Teresa May do). To me an intro should say who that person is, i.e. the role and any decoration that makes them noteworthy. What do you think?

Sure. Again its a question of judgement and down to the editors on each page - Farage, Blair, Thatcher, Foot and Attlee all have fairly lengthy leads already. Farron's lead seems to be way too short - I will try and rectify this. Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 16:05, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of More2

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on More2 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. -- Dane talk 23:19, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Opinion polling for the United Kingdom general election, 2017

you just undid my edit to the poll numbers saying that these are the result for the GB only. The page title is very misleading in this case given the name (Opinion_polling_for_the_United_Kingdom_general_election,_2017) and I did not find any reference to this information anywhere near the table. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Portisch (talk • contribs) 08:14, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The lead states that most polling is carried out for GB only. The line where the results are stated also states that these are GB results only. The polls (and results) for NI are given later down in the article. Perhaps you could suggest on the talk page somewhere in the article where this could be stated again to avoid confusion.

Wera Hobhouse

Hi Absolutelypuremilk, I've noticed you've made some edits to Wera Hobhouse's wiki page. I thought I should introduce myself, I work for Wera as part of her comms team and have been tasked with fleshing out her page. I've not worked much with wikipedia before, so want to make sure I'm not breaking any rules or stepping on anyone's toes. I've re-worked the Councillor section, adhering to the guidelines to the best of my knowledge. If you could have a look at it and let me know if I've overstepped at any point it'd be appreciated! --Pencilsfromacup (talk) 14:42, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Pencilsfromacup: thanks for posting here, it's always much better to seek advice and post on the talk page of an article before doing anything too controversial. I've had a look at your edits, which mostly seem fine, apart from you adding a space between a full stop and the reference supporting the sentence. You also should not use Wikipedia as a reference for itself as you did for the majority. Finally, you should be very careful about removing content which is sourced, especially without providing an explanation in your edit summary. The edit summary is very important to let other editors know why you made certain changes. I've fixed these problems and restored the content. Removing this content in particular (the criticism of Hobhouse for not calling a by-election) is dangerous to do as someone with a conflict of interest for obvious reasons - "Lib Dem MP deletes negative content from her Wikipedia page" is probably not a headline you will want to see!
For more information about editing the page of someone you are associated with, see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Let me know if there are any more edits you want to make and I will try and give you a hand. If you want to add another photo of Hobhouse, say in a different context, e.g. going on the campaign trail or giving a speech, then add it to Flickr and I can add it to the page. Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 15:05, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help and restoration, I'll be a little less delete key happy in future! I'll also make use of the edit summary, and have a look through that page. There were a few things that I wanted to do concerning her early life section, but I fear they may be in conflict with the OR policy. I'll find some more sources and get to grips with policy, thanks again! --Pencilsfromacup (talk) 15:20, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I've got some more content, plus an updated photo that I'd like to add to the wiki page. I've uploaded the photo here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/157716848 My understanding of the COI rules is that as a paid employee involved in politics, I shouldn't really be editing the page myself. With that in mind, I thought I'd draw your attention to Wera's biography, currently hosted here: http://werahobhouse-ldbath.nationbuilder.com/biography. In the interest of academic integrity, I imagine it's best that you make the changes! Pencilsfromacup (talk) 14:43, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure why that photo link didn't work, try here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/157716848@N08/with/35590389054/ Pencilsfromacup (talk) 15:23, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Gove

Hi AbsolutelyPurMilk. Why did you revert my last edit? Twice? Then say "refer to talk" when no talk existed? It is a valid point, that Michael Gove did in-fact cull all the so-called "soft" subjects (Latin, Ancient Greek, Archaeology, etc.) from all Further Education in Britain. You cannot deny this. If you would like me to re-word the statement, perhaps tone it down, and stick more to the facts, I can do that (in-fact I will do that now, and daily, until you cease this nonsense). Anglyn

Laura Kuenssberg's place of birth

Hello,

I see you recently reverted my edit, in which I specified Laura's place of birth as Milan (it had previously been marked simply "Italy"). Your reason was that it probably needs a better source. The source of the information on Findmypast (as well as on other genealogy websites like Ancestry and MyHeritage) is the UK Government birth records. Short of paying the £10 to order a certified copy of the birth certificate and uploading a scan of it on here, I'm not sure what better source there could be?

Many thanks, MorbidStories (talk) 13:46, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You were just reverted

Hi, at the Antisemitism in the UK Labour, you were just reverted. Please change back. Twitter is not a RS, especially for something that can't be verified.

I think you reverted this by mistake

Hi, in this edit - I think you meant to revert Garageland66 revert in the Mural section, but you also took out the "Renaming Holocaust memorial day" section which was added in the interim - possibly you were editing an old version of the article / edit conflict? If you could re-instate the "Renaming Holocaust memorial day" section - I'd be much obliged.Icewhiz (talk) 07:16, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

DYR detail

Hi, just to explain, I think detail or its absence can affect understanding. Here, the level of engagement of attending a conveniently located infrequent event might be considered to be less than it would be if meetings were more frequent or abroad. On another matter, I saw that you added that Eisen was Jewish and I see that Jackie Walker and Gerald Kaufman are also described as Jewish. However, the writers of the critical letter and many others are not so described. Is there a general rule or guidance on this? Thanks. Jontel (talk) 12:06, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't add that Eisen was Jewish, certainly not deliberately. I might have moved it further down after someone else added it. I personally don't think it should be in there unless the source describing the event mentions it, which I would guess comes under WP:OR but I don't think there is a specific rule about religion/heritage of the person being mentioned. Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 12:42, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, my mistake. It was as you say. Thanks for your view. Jontel (talk) 13:51, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Revert on reference edits

Hi,

While you might be right in general, if I could explain:

London Economic is preferable to The Guardian on the letter, because the latter is simply the letter or self-published Icewhiz would say, whereas the former is independent coverage of the letter, making it noteworthy

The Independent, as a British quality paper, is preferable to a global newswire or foreign paper, which have fewer focused connections and resources

The Lipstadt quote is referenced by her book and does not need a review reference as well

The Independent explicitly asserts that Field jumped before he was pushed, so supports the text whereas the BBC does not

If that makes sense, can I implement some or all of these?

Thanks, Jontel (talk) 21:21, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I hadn't noticed that the Guardian source was the original letter. I think that the Independent (especially in recent years) is of lower quality than Reuters or NYT, but we'll have to disagree about that. I would argue the Lipstadt quote needs a reference to show notability - in any case I don't think two citations is overkill. Sure, keep the Independent source for the Field content in that case. Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 08:34, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I've changed it on that basis. Thanks. Jontel (talk) 09:13, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Trendline for leaders

Hi,

It might be that that you would be doing it if you thought it was a good idea or had time but, just to say, I really appreciate the trendline for Opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election that I understand you do and think that a similar graph would also be interesting for the currently very negative views of UK party leaders. Leadership approval opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election. Jontel (talk) 06:06, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, the issue with that table is that the wording is different between different pollsters so it's difficult to compare those polls. Some say well/badly, some say approve/disapprove and then some allow "don't know" as an option whereas others allow "neither". Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 18:30, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, yes, I wondered if that might be it. Thanks for the response. Arguably, it could still be done as a rough indication if accompanied by a caveat, given that some of the inconsistency will be alleviated by the averaging and because the measure is intended as an illustration of trend rather than an absolute measure. Anyway, interesting times - lots of variation and some new parties. ;) Jontel (talk) 18:46, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Bellowhead678, I ran a new scan, this time focusing on capitalized words. Many of them are names, but I expect every name appearing frequently on Wikipedia to have an article containing it, or at list a disambiguation page.

False positive?

Hi Bellowhead678 and Uziel302, I think that this was probably a false positive. I've reverted it pending legal action, prorogation of parliament, blood alcohol tests etc etc. I mean, yes, it's not like I am a sugar production expert (!!!) but without even grabbing a dictionary (which, yes, I should) I think that "molassed" is a lot more likely than "molassied". And just for a silly add-on, my Canadian cousin used to tell a terrible joke in which the punchline turned "molasses" in "mole asses". My how we laughed ... Best to all, DBaK (talk) 09:36, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DBaK, first, if you look up in webster dictionary, the word molassied appears. Indeed it appears as less common variant, but the edit itself isn't adding typo to the article. Second, the reason of this hiccup in the script is my usage of SCOWL widest wordlist, which for some reason included molassied but not molassed. molassed wasn't found in titles of Wikipedia and Wiktionary either, so I had no easy way to find it is a word. In the articles of Wikipedia it appears only twice. Third, every edit in the project is done manually, so the false positives of the script offers are filtered by humans, which may not be familiar with one word or another. Uziel302 (talk) 09:50, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, and thanks Uziel302 for all that. I suppose the problem comes when we accept what is suggested without knowing the word usage, since this was certainly not an improvement. Oxford (DE) has only molassed and doesn't think molassied is even a word – I suppose I would prefer it if none of us ever made mistakes (!) but I do think your system is doing a pretty good job! Cheers DBaK (talk) 09:58, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I think you're right that molassed is more likely to be correct. Bellowhead678 (talk) 11:55, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! And Happy Editing :) DBaK (talk) 13:06, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Typo? No.

Hi Bellowhead678. In the article Miracle of the Sun with this edit you changed "fulfillment" to "fulfilment" and called it "Typo", by which i assume you meant you were correcting a typo. In fact, the word is correctly spelled with three l's in American English, and had been that way in the article since it was first added two and a half years ago. I invite you to revert your edit, and question the variety of English on the talk page, if you think it's necessary. Happy days, LindsayHello 20:09, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your "one click typo fix" on Chaotic Trading Card Game changed "mugician" to "magician", which is incorrect as it is in reference to the term "mugic", which means "musical magic" as demonstrated in the Chaotic cartoon clips in this video. Mattwo7 (talk) 22:45, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

On Joshua Garfield

On the Momentum article, my edit summary could have been better. I think some errors have crept in with regard to Joshua Garfield: not from you, I hasten to add. He is presented as a 'leading figure of Momentum' i.e. one of the most important leaders. However, he has no national role. Momentum has 180 groups. If we assume a conservative six officers (CLPs can have up to 15), he is one of over 1000 people at his level, out of Momentum's 40,000 members. Moreover, he is a youth officer, one of the least important branch roles. He is 23. I conclude that he is not a leading figure.

The article says he 'resigned and ceased all involvement with the organisation'. Yet his letter of resignation in the source says 'I hope to continue to work with Momentum in a national capacity', the very oppposite of what is stated.

The article says he resigned because of 'widespread antisemitism'. He does not use the word widespread, so that is a false quote. On the contrary, he only mentions members of Newham Momentum and that he 'cannot work alongside individuals who...' That he hopes to work with Momentum nationally and that he has 'witnessed more antisemitism in the last week than ...in eight years of Labour Party membership' confirms that he is resigning because of his local experience, not because of any wider issue.

We are left with a young man in a junior, local role - one of a thousand such roles - who resigned because of what he says is antisemitism in his Momentum branch and hopes to stay involved in Momentum is some way. I do not think it is sufficiently significant to be included, just as we do not include on the Labour page any resignations of local officials or representatives. Can we just delete it, or shall we discuss it on the talk page? Jontel (talk) 17:48, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

UK polling graph

Hi. I can see you were the creator and only editor of File:Opinion_polling_UK_2020_election_short_axis.png - thank you for that.

Due to some retirements, the graphs at Opinion polling for the 2019 United Kingdom general election have become badly out of date. The main graph is slightly misleading, showing data that's a few weeks old now. The subnational graphs haven't been updated since May, so I hid them because they were actually worse than useless.

Is there any chance I can ask you to help at least keep File:UK_opinion_polls.svg up to date? The format etc has, as I'm sure you'd guess, emerged from many wrangles and heated discussions, but I think it reflects the various opinions quite well. There's guidance here (see entry from 21 Aug) on how it's done, but it baffles this dunce.

Obviously fine if you're not able to help, but I do hope you can, as this is a high profile article now that the election's been called.

Thanks either way --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 08:50, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Remake graph using ggplot2

Hi. Thanks for making your graphs.
If it wouldn't be too much trouble, there would be several advantages to making these graphs using (for instance) R and its package ggplot2, as was done here:

  • The resulting graph avoids the problem described here where some polls do not affect the average when they should;
  • Each poll's effect is weighted according to its sample size and therefore its individual margin of error;
  • A confidence interval is shown (within which the true value is expected to be about 95% of the time);
  • The output is an SVG.

Thank you for considering.—AlphaMikeOmega (talk) 18:32, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have the data in an Excel spreadsheet, but I don't have the sample size. If you fancy writing down the samples in a spreadsheet then I'm happy to weight them accordingly. I might try doing it on Python (which I'm reasonably familiar with) for the next election, but I'm pretty busy at the minute. Bellowhead678 (talk) 20:54, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, I doubt I'll have the time for that until a point when I'll also have time to learn some R and make the graph there, and I don't know where I would upload the spreadsheet to. Still, I've copied wikitables straight into Excel before, so it shouldn't be too hard to modify what's on the page already.
If you do decide to re-make the graph, remember to weight according to the square root of the sample size.
You should also be able to output an SVG file whether you're using Python or Excel to produce the final graphs: Matplotlib can save graphs as SVGs, and in Excel you can
  • copy the graph into Word (keeping source formatting);
  • save the document as a PDF;
  • import the PDF into Inkscape;
  • save the Inkscape file as an SVG.
Thanks again for the work you're doing, and sorry I can't be more helpful right now.—AlphaMikeOmega (talk) 19:40, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Pat, it looks like far too much detail for this researcher given there are not very many secondary sources which discuss him, such as newspaper/magazine articles, as opposed to primary sources such as links to papers he has written. Also, you've put some of the headings in bold, which they shouldn't be. You should however, put his name at the very start of the article in bold.
By the way, there is already an article called Pablo Medina, so you would have to call your article something like Pablo Medina (information researcher). Bellowhead678 (talk) 20:12, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Help with a new entry - Wheels for Wellbeing & Inclusive Cycling

Hi,

I see you created the new entry for Pedalme, and I wondered if you'd like to help me create one for another cycling group in London.

I work with Wheels for Wellbeing, part of Cycling for All and a massive network of inclusive cycling projects across the country.

Now, our director is listed, on the Honorary OBE page, but not her organisation.

Wheels is far more important than Pedalme ;-p (though we do love them very much)

Do you think it deserves a page? Am I allowed to make it as a new employee?

I'm a very old wiki account holder, but a total novice here with the posting rules... :-S

Thanks, Dubious Dubiety (talk) 20:10, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Dubiety: Welcome to Wikipedia! I think you should read WP:COI first to have a look at the conflict of interest rules. I would start by drafting an article in your sandbox (you can find this at the top right), then asking other editors to review it. The important thing is whether it is covered by secondary sources, i.e. are there news articles about it or is it mentioned by other organisations? If the only references to it online are from its own website, then it's unlikely to deserve its own article.
If you get stuck with how to reference things, or you want me to have a look, then just give me a shout on here. Good luck! Bellowhead678 (talk) 20:42, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much! I did read those guidelines and that's what scared me off tbh. Things have really changed around here since the noughties. So your simple explanation is gold! Thank you Dubiety (talk) 07:09, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Questionable reversion on Supply-side economics

Hi! I'd like to ask about the rationale behind this revert on Supply-side economics, which removed the article from Category:Pseudoscience; the modern consensus of economists is that supply-side economics is a pseudoscientific idea unsupported by any actual evidence. Toodles! :-) Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty ⚧️ Averted crashes 04:10, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Bellowhead678: A response would be appreciated. Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty ⚧️ Averted crashes 00:44, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

First/second/third/fourth/etc woman to...

Regarding your revert at Theresa May: I have made this type of edit on numerous articles and seldom had a negative response. Could you look at Wikipedia:Writing about women, especially the 'Male is not the default' section, and Finkbeiner test, especially the 'Checklist' section? I'm interested in your thoughts after reading them. EddieHugh (talk) 17:13, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Careful

Please make sure that your "corrections" really are correct. I've fixed this one. Thanks. PamD 18:36, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
