Speedy deletion declined: Giant pelvis

Hello Mlpearc Phone. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Giant pelvis, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: blatantly not a hoax (probably needs merging with Justo major pelvis however). Thank you. SmartSE (talk) 18:42, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keditz||XXXTENTACION

Hey so, over at the ANI there was a discussion about Keditz and his disruptive editing. One specific example was him changing Post Malone’s Rap Rock genre to Rock when the source stated the former. He has done the exact same thing on XXXTENTACION before it got locked further. If you check right now, the source for rock states “hip hop and alternative rock” (these were my sources which he reverted), and R&B’s source states “alternative R&B”. Plus he reverted other strongly sourced genres (such as Soundcloud rap w/ Vulture. I just was wondering could you revert it back to my genre structure, nitpicking if you feel the genre isnt as strong as i sought for it to be.

A message from Braveberet

What is the problem?

I have had a warning about my edits regarding Kirsty Gallagher’s page. All I’ve done is change her nationality from Scottish to British (she also identifies as English, making my edit a change for the better). Either way, she is British. What’s the big deal? Could you reverse my warning please, as I haven’t violated Wikipedia in any way. Thank you in advance Scf1985 (talk) 20:45, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I also believe it’s more violating referring her to Scottish/British, a turn of phrase which I don’t believe is within Wikipedia rules. Observe my actual edits before acting Scf1985 (talk) 20:47, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wang Leehom

It’s a stream of logic that I’m citing.

1) Subtitle of article states he’s a Taiwanese-American pop singer. 2) Parents are from Taiwan, and he was born in the US, hence logically that would make him a Taiwanese-American.

Unless this article is to contradict itself, my edit was correct in the first place. WuKanYun (talk) 06:50, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect warning

Do you realize that you have an "only warning" to an editor who was removing vandalism while restoring said vandalism yourself? -- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:13, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your request for a range block, unfortunately I'm not able to do that. Only a checkuser has the ability to find the IP addresses used by registered users. If you want, you can file a report at WP:SPI listing the socks involved and a checkuser may be able to determine a range block that might be effective.

Unsourced changes

Thank you for the warning, we forgot to add the source link. We’ll do better going forward. Can you remove your threat from our page? Ludwigsalvator (talk) 15:05, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ludwigsalvator: It's not a "threat" it's a warning. No I will not remove the warning, however, you're free to remove it yourself. One last question, who are "we" ? - FlightTime Phone (open channel) 15:39, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Understood! Two sides of the same coin, in our book, but we understand the delicate distinction you're making. We'll go ahead and remove it. Please check out our latest contribution, and you can see we made many source citations. Finally, "we" is our preferred pronoun.

Question about rename

Hi, you typed 'done' which I assume you meant that you moved Sarileru_Nikevvaru to Sarileru Neekevvaru as I requested. But i see that the file is still renamed as Sarileru Nikevvaru. Is the rename request rejected or did you forget to rename it? Josalm64rc (talk) 20:12, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Josalm64rc: Thanx for pointing this out. I thought something was wrong after I marked it

Done, but didn't spot it. Fixed now. Thanx again. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 20:31, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas Edison by script

Hi, thanks for using the common-terms script. I also tripped up on Thomas Edison earlier in the week, causing irritation in one of its regular editors. It was a rare instance where city and US state need to be linked unambiguously. The script occasionally has to get things wrong: Milan, Ohio will link to the Italian city. It can be piped, or left with both items linked together. Are you interested in running a composite script, which does not only common terms but fixes the hyphen–dash problem (widespread) and date formats? Let me know if you are. Tony (talk) 23:02, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Tony1: Sure. I'll try it, but as you can see some errors running such a script can be easily overlooked and again having such a tool is very helpful in keeping things consistent. I would be interested in the documentation of the script you refer to. Thanx, - FlightTime (open channel) 23:11, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. And I've learned to be very compliant if anyone complains. Or sometimes to disregard reverts, since there's SO much to go on an clean up with a script. Let me say that using these scripts adds to WP's authority by giving a professional-standard consistency and logic to a few aspects of our text. It's a great service to the site, where done carefully. Pinging @Ohconfucius:, the script master in this case, about giving you a composite unlinking–dash-fix–date-fix button (which can be ignored in favour of the specific functions where you wish). Or here's my vector page, but is it css or js? I'm hopeless about tech stuff. The dash fixer pretty much runs itself, with a tiny ratio of false positives. The date format fixer needs serioius oversight to determine whether it's US or non-US, and where not related to a majority anglophone country, if WP:RETAIN applies. People occasionally get upset if it's flipped the wrong way, as I did to an article last week. I run through lists of "Links to X" (like "artist", "politician", and specific years—whatever you can think of). This is a useful guide. My very best. Tony (talk) 03:49, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kurt Cobain

What I added about Kurt's cousin claiming he was diagnosed with Bipolar was mentioned in the source already there. Neptune23456 (talk) 19:56, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced request

What does "Unsourced request" mean in this context? The person who asked the question is probably not familiar with how Wikipedia work. The helpdesk volunteers generally are; and they can use Google to find sources. Poveglia (talk) 21:44, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why would you revert my edit? What’s to discuss? Why didn’t you start a discussion about undoing a useful edit?

I forgot to add your undo has convinced me to never post or update anything on Wikipedia ever again Chertel (talk) 02:26, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Chertel: What edit ? - FlightTime Phone (open channel) 02:28, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This edit, and I personally don't even know why you're asking this question. You don't need a discussion to add a review from a trusted source like AllMusic (which is included here, in case you didn't know), and unlike whay you said to 176.166.142.7, genres changes don't require prior discussions, unless there's an explicit consensus through hidden text or the associated talk page (as it's the case for some good/featured articles, but not all music-related articles). I therefore reverted all your unhelpful/bad faith changes performed through Twinkle, considering I took a look at all the sources provided by 176.166.142.7 and Chertel, which are all reliable and meet WP:RS/WP:RSMUSIC. Also note that WP:GENREWARRIOR, unlike WP:V, WP:OR (including WP:STICKTOSOURCE and WP:SYNTH) and WP:NPOV (including WP:SUBJECTIVE) is an essay, not a guideline or a policy. Hope all of this would prevent you for reverting constructive edits from users who are clearly here to help improving Wikipedia. Synthwave.94 (talk) 12:24, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Chertel and 176.166.142.7: Just to let you know that your constructive edits are back and that the user who reverted them has been warned. Synthwave.94 (talk) 12:33, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bohemian Rhapsody

@FlightTime Phone: Thanks for reverting the rock opera genre. My objection to it is not the source, though, it's the fact that rock opera isn't an actual music genre, it's a type of album. Putting rock opera as a genre is like putting concept album as a genre. Rodericksilly (talk) 23:53, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@FlightTime Phone: Hi, I’m not sure if your revert as good faith on the Elvis article is covered by simply “no, it is not”. The word ‘also’ implies ‘in addition; too’, when really he was/is known by his first name and not another name. I propose the article should read like Kylie Minogue’s does at the moment (“often known simply as”) or “commonly known as” with a link to the Mononymous person article because he’s always been known like that.--Nature987765 (talk) 03:19, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I’m not going to revert it back straightaway, I want to read what your opinion is on the matter. Neither of us is arguing about the “known simply as Elvis” part, but precisely the word used before that phrase. ‘also’ implies an additional name which isn’t really the case for someone’s actual given name, the definitions of ‘commonly’ and ‘often’ are pretty much synonymous and I would argue either one is more accurate because it’s how he has always been known to most people.--Nature987765 (talk) 03:24, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Nature987765: It's just simpler, The word "Mononymous" does not need to be there to complicate the average reader, or the link Mononymous person to further confuse the reader, "simply know as" is easy to comprehend. - FlightTime Phone (open channel) 03:26, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@FlightTime Phone: Thanks for the reply. I undid my edit adding that link. Do you have any problem changing “ask” to “commonly” or “often”? Although the difference between “often” and “also” are somewhat subtle, I do think the former would be more appropriate. I don’t really see why you would have any objections, but I thought I would ask first. Thanks.--Nature987765 (talk) 03:33, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your point about there being no need for there to be a link to the mononymous person article. I changed “also” to “often”. I hope that is okay.--Nature987765 (talk) 03:37, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) @Nature987765: No I do not. There is no need to ping a user on their own talk page, the system automatically notifies the user of a new post on their talk page. Please review Help:Talk pages, proper use make discussions much easier. Cheers, - FlightTime Phone (open channel) 03:42, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t understand you. You said “No I do not” so I changed it and then you reverted it and accused me of weasel words. Nevertheless, I have created a section on the article’s talk page so maybe you could explain why you’re being so awkward with me about something which is small but important. I accept why there is no need for a link to the mononymous person article, but I fail to see why you think “also” is the better word choice. I look forward to reading your response on the article’s talk page. Bye.--Nature987765 (talk) 03:55, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

About the messages you left on my Talk page, where I vandalized the Wikipedia pages: Moons of Saturn, Mercury (Planet), and Uranus (Planet)?

I noticed this recent edit of yours. This is a pretty decent summary of references to Hecate in popular culture -- some of the works are pretty significant and her role varies from minor allusion to major character. The post itself is not citable, but what are your thoughts on including a section with some of her more significant appearances? It seems to me several fall within WP:IPC guidelines.

Bob Dylan

Regarding this revert; FWIW, that does roughly correspond to the BBC source, which says:

From the end of April to 10 May, the singer was in the UK on a tour that was documented in the film Don't Look Back. According to Clinton Heylin's Dylan chronology A Life in Stolen Moments, he was then in the UK, France and Portugal until the start of June.[1]

Nonetheless, I'm not sure it's necessary, and the wording of the text you reverted was leaning a bit WP:SYNTH/WP:POV. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 00:30, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
