Discusión del usuario:Muriéndome

Espero que el nombre de usuario no haga referencia a ninguna condición médica real - Skysmith 11:49, 21 de enero de 2005 (UTC)

En realidad, y aunque parezca sorprendente, mi verdadero nombre es morir. Además, supongo que la condición médica de estar vivo exige morir, hasta donde yo sé, pero aparte de condiciones como ésta, no tengo conocimiento de tener ninguna otra condición médica que pueda acelerar mi muerte. Sin embargo, su preocupación por mi salud es muy apreciada .

Por curiosidad, ¿el nombre se pronuncia de forma diferente a la palabra "dying"? Es un nombre interesante. -- Mr. Billion 06:46, 18 de diciembre de 2005 (UTC) [ responder ]

No, se pronuncia de la misma manera, a menos que , por supuesto, pronuncies la palabra "dying" de una manera poco ortodoxa, en cuyo caso, no estoy seguro .

Bienvenido, más o menos

Bueno, has estado aquí más tiempo que yo, así que "bienvenido" es una declaración un poco extraña. De todos modos, es bueno tenerte aquí y todo eso, lo siento por el asunto de mpack, y si necesitas ayuda, consejo o cualquier otra cosa, por favor, pregúntame. Espero con interés tus futuras contribuciones. Martijn Hoekstra ( discusión ) 18:04 11 nov 2014 (UTC) [ responder ]

Solicitud de comentarios sobreActualidad

Hola Moribundo –

Estoy intentando iniciar un debate sobre dos propuestas relacionadas con la página de eventos actuales , pero hasta ahora he recibido poca o ninguna respuesta. Dado que recientemente has editado la página de eventos actuales, te pido tu opinión sobre estas dos propuestas:

Se agradecería su aportación sobre uno o ambos de estos temas. joturn e r 22:19, 4 de mayo de 2006 (UTC) [ responder ]

Personalmente, creo que la página de eventos actuales está sufriendo una acumulación de funciones. Si observa cómo se veía la página de eventos actuales hace aproximadamente un año, verá que la página era bastante más simple y casi tan efectiva. Agregar funciones innecesarias aumenta el desorden y hace que sea más difícil para un nuevo colaborador comprender cómo funciona la página.
La primera propuesta haría que agregar un evento a la página sea mucho más complicado de lo que es ahora. Aunque este estilo parece usarse en algunas de las páginas de eventos actuales archivadas, una mirada rápida a los historiales de estas páginas debería mostrar que este estilo se aplicó después de que las páginas se archivaron. Además, si los contribuyentes no son cuidadosos, las páginas podrían terminar siendo un desastre, como lo atestiguan todas las barras de día inútiles en el artículo actual de junio de 2005.
En cuanto a la segunda propuesta, las páginas de eventos actuales regionales son actualmente útiles como un compromiso efectivo entre las personas que piensan que un evento de importancia local significativa debería aparecer en la página principal de eventos actuales, y aquellos que piensan lo contrario porque es insignificante fuera del área local. Fusionar estas páginas parece frustrar parcialmente el propósito. Además, el impacto de un evento local en la comunidad global a menudo está determinado por fronteras políticas en lugar de continentales.
De todos modos, esa es sólo mi opinión. En cualquier caso, aprecio el pensamiento y el esfuerzo que se ha puesto en tratar de mejorar esta área de Wikipedia .

Cita de fuente

¿Puedo saber por qué prefieres usar Twitter en lugar del sitio web de salud del gobierno sobre el Covid19 con datos de pacientes? M nurhaikal ( discusión ) 13:37 12 mar 2020 (UTC) [ responder ]

En realidad, no tengo ninguna preferencia personal entre la cuenta de Twitter de un gobierno y la página web de un gobierno . Si la cuenta de Twitter de un gobierno tiene información más actualizada que la página web de un gobierno, preferiría citar la cuenta de Twitter. De manera similar, si la página web de un gobierno tiene información más actualizada que la cuenta de Twitter de un gobierno, preferiría citar la página web .

San Marino está en 77

Debajo de la fuente. Cntrl+F

"n. 139 tamponi totali effettuati, di cui 54 risultati negativi, 77 positivi e 8 in attesa di esito."

77 positivo M nurhaikal ( discusión ) 08:10 13 mar 2020 (UTC) [ responder ]

Dejé un comentario junto al valor en la tabla, con la esperanza de que esto ayudara a otros editores a comprender cómo interpretar correctamente la fuente antes de actualizar el valor. Lo he reproducido a continuación para su conveniencia.
Tenga cuidado al actualizar estas estadísticas, ya que las estadísticas oficiales del gobierno pueden presentarse de manera confusa, ya que "casi positivi" no se refiere a los pacientes que dieron positivo, sino a los pacientes que se recuperaron. Agregue este número al número "decessi" (fallecidos) para obtener el número correcto. El número de resultados positivos puede ser diferente de este número, en el supuesto de que algunos casos se hayan analizado más de una vez.
Se puede encontrar una explicación más detallada de por qué creo que esta es la interpretación correcta de la fuente en la discusión de esa fuente en la página de discusión, que reproduzco a continuación.
La fuente del gobierno de San Marino parece mencionar primero 67 "casi positivi" y enumerar dónde se están recuperando (con los 67 contabilizados en la enumeración) y luego menciona 5 "decessi", por lo que siempre he interpretado esto como que significa que hay 72 casos, con 67 recuperados y 5 fallecidos. No hablo italiano (excepto quizás "grazie mille"), así que si usted lo hace (o alguien más lo hace), ¿podría confirmarlo? Actualmente tengo la tabla con 72 casos.
Tenga en cuenta también que la fuente oficial utiliza la expresión "tamponi totali", que significa "hisopados totales", en lugar de una redacción diferente que implicaría que estaban enumerando el número total de personas examinadas en lugar de solo el número total de hisopados tomados.
Creo que otras fuentes agregadas tropiezan con el mismo problema, lo que sirve para explicar por qué se prefieren las fuentes oficiales del gobierno a las fuentes agregadas cuando se cita una fuente, independientemente de si la fuente agregada es más sencilla de interpretar.
Sin embargo, como dije anteriormente, no hablo italiano, así que si tienes una mejor interpretación de la fuente que implique con más fuerza que hay 77 personas diferentes que dieron positivo, házmelo saber. ¡ Gracias de antemano !

Gracias por la división

Morir : Gracias por seguir adelante y hacer la división de la página Lista de monumentos y memoriales eliminados durante las protestas por George Floyd (A) con la nueva página Lista de cambios de nombre debido a las protestas por George Floyd (B). Espero que continúes "patrullando" A para conseguir entradas que realmente pertenecen a B.

Ya veo que se añaden más "peticiones ciudadanas" a la sección "Eliminaciones bajo consideración" en A. (suspiro) Lo siento, pero enviar una petición ciudadana no significa que se esté considerando algo. Tal vez debería añadir una tercera categoría de viñetas, "Peticiones ciudadanas", para que la gente pueda introducir sus últimos "hallazgos" de noticias y dejar de luchar contra el bombardeo de resultados de búsqueda de Google que entusiasma a la gente. La sección "Peticiones ciudadanas" siempre se puede eliminar en el futuro, cuando este movimiento se apague y todo esto pase a la historia.

Brundage: Jaja, finalmente vi la sección "Otros" (que creo que creé hace una semana). Estaba mirando la tabla de contenidos y pensé: "No es un confederado, no es un conquistador, es una obra de arte pero no una no-escultura. Oh, mierda, no hay dónde ponerlo". Tienes razón, podría haber aparecido en una "sección de otros". Aun así, me siento muy afectado por algunas de estas decisiones corporativas de "yo también". Realmente no creo que Brundage estuviera relacionado con ninguna protesta por George Floyd. Pero no me opondré a que alguien agregue a Brundage en algún lugar, incluso en Otros.

Estamos viendo todos los inconvenientes que se mencionan en la política de Wikipedia sobre el resentimiento , pero creo que la arremetida es demasiado grande para luchar contra ella (sonrisa).

Normal Op ( discusión ) 13:26 23 jun 2020 (UTC) [ responder ]

Morir : noto que has añadido en tu nueva página un subtítulo titulado "Decisiones pendientes". Acaba de atraer la primera adición de Deisenbe de "a la gente le encantaría que ESTO sucediera". Brigham Young NUNCA cambiará el nombre de su universidad, y la esencia del artículo suena como si hubiera sido escrito por un EX mormón (lo que significa que nadie en la Iglesia de los Santos de los Últimos Días escuchará nunca a esa persona ni a su petición). Creo que Deisenbe tiene más esperanzas de que estos cambios se hagan realidad; alguien tiene que evaluar si estas peticiones tienen algún peso. Ella está muy entusiasmada con el movimiento de "cambiar el nombre de Columbus, Ohio", lo que nunca sucederá. Recordatorio... WP:RECENTISM . Quizá quieras cambiar el nombre de esa sección o añadir una frase inicial para aclarar lo que debería incluirse en ella. Probablemente me mantendré alejado de tu nueva página (excepto para poner algo que apareció incorrectamente en la página de monumentos). Así que quizá tengas que vigilar tu nueva página (si es que quieres ponerte ese sombrero). Normal Op ( discusión ) 14:18 23 jun 2020 (UTC) [ responder ]

Rompió el sello, ¡ahora no puedo dejar de aclarar!

Lo que quiero decir con esto es que hay algo que quizás ya sepas o quizás no, y sería esto (la siguiente oración): si hubieras dejado a esa persona viva de bajo perfil nombrada en la página de discusión, no te lo habría reprochado y no estaba exactamente sugiriendo que cambiaras de opinión. Pero si simplemente lo escuchaste y aceptaste por tu propia voluntad, eso es simplemente hermoso. Como cuando un monstruo casi le arranca la cabeza de un mordisco a un pobre comerciante por una pequeña rosa blanca, establece un plazo bastante duro y condiciones de pago aún peores, entonces su mejor hija dice: "No, no, está bien. Parece al menos medio razonable. Arreglaré el resto". Y luego, justo cuando la multitud la llama estúpida por eso, ¡BAM ... felices para siempre!

InedibleHulk , admito que ni siquiera había considerado cuál era mi punto de vista sobre el tema que habías planteado antes de hacerlo. Considerando que los nombres de las víctimas ya han sido ampliamente publicados en múltiples fuentes confiables en todo el mundo, y yo no estaba familiarizado con ninguna fuente confiable que impusiera una restricción o moratoria de publicación relevante, pensé que el tema era una cuestión de presentación más que de revelación. Sin embargo, después de que planteaste el tema y expusiste tu punto, estuve completamente de acuerdo contigo.
Si yo hubiera estado personalmente en la misma situación que la persona lesionada, no creo que me hubiera importado de ninguna manera, pero no puedo presumir que la parte lesionada comparta sentimientos similares.

¡Gracias por la edición cuidadosa! Estamos a unos pocos caracteres del límite superior (1025)... ¿qué opinas de acortar esto a "utilizar una variedad de ataques"? - Dank ( push to talk ) 10:46, 4 de agosto de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]

¡Gracias por el cumplido, Dank !
No veo ningún problema significativo con lo que propones. Había comentado "mágico" en lugar de "pedo" en caso de que la mención de este último fuera concebida como un gancho, pero si todos esos modificadores se eliminaran por completo, "usar una variedad de ataques para combatir" probablemente también se pueda reemplazar por "luchar", ya que el acto de luchar generalmente implica el uso de ataques, y notar que hay una variedad de tales ataques probablemente no sea de gran utilidad para el lector. ("Luchar" fue elegido para evitar el problema de "combatir" versus "combatir").
Si el límite de caracteres sigue siendo un problema, eliminaría "caprichoso" y "libremente", y reemplazaría "falta de" por "no " .
"Luchar" me funciona. Gracias de nuevo. - Dank ( pulsar para hablar ) 23:41, 4 de agosto de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]

Acabo de terminar de revisar tus ediciones de TFA de julio y agosto... Estoy impresionado con los puntos de edición de texto. No revisé personalmente los puntos fácticos, pero no recibiste mucha resistencia, por lo que debiste haber estado haciendo un buen trabajo allí también. ¿Sería posible que terminaras de editar todas tus reseñas al menos 48 horas antes de que cada una llegue a la página principal? Es posible que las personas tengan puntos que quieran plantear o preguntas que hacer, o puede haber fuentes que no estén de acuerdo. - Dank ( push to talk ) 15:00, 24 de agosto de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
Claro, Dank . Es cierto que he estado tratando de darme una fecha límite interna de 48 horas antes de que se presente una sinopsis, por las mismas razones que mencionaste, pero me he estado quedando atrás últimamente y preferiría no sacrificar la calidad para cumplir con una fecha límite autoimpuesta que a nadie más parecía importarle. Aunque mi edición de hoy obviamente se retrasará, en el futuro haré un esfuerzo adicional para cumplir con la fecha límite. Gracias por los comentarios .
Simpatizo... por un trabajo tan importante, a veces parece que a la gente no le importa mucho (hasta que algo sale mal :) - Dank ( push to talk ) 12:55, 25 de agosto de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
Oh, lo siento, Dank . No había tenido la intención de intentar despertar simpatía con ese último comentario. Probablemente podría haberlo expresado mejor, pero "a nadie más parecía importarle" se dejó deliberadamente un poco ambiguo para dar cabida tanto a la interpretación de que a nadie le importaría una fecha límite interna mía (ya que, después de todo, era interna) como a la interpretación de que otros editores también editan los resúmenes después de la marca de las 48 horas (como creo que deberían hacer si creen que han encontrado un error). [a] No uso las redes sociales y olvidé cómo a menudo se hacen contribuciones allí para solicitar simpatía y elogios. Dicho esto, ¡tu simpatía (y elogios) son muy apreciados !

Notas

  1. ^ "parecía importarle" se usó en lugar de "le importaba" porque recién hace poco me enteré de que a usted también le importa un plazo de 48 horas, aunque probablemente no sabía que yo mantenía uno internamente, ya que lo rompí repetidamente.
  2. ^ Si no creo que una edición será una contribución neta positiva, no la haré. Por supuesto, no puedo afirmar que todas mis ediciones sean netamente positivas, sino solo que creí que lo eran cuando las hice.
  3. ^ Podría haber omitido "Después" y reemplazar la coma con un '.' o ';', pero pensé que el resultado se habría sentido demasiado entrecortado en comparación con el resto de la propaganda. Alternativamente, podría haber omitido "en 1816", pero la naturaleza de la oración podría hacer que un lector se pregunte cuándo ocurrió el matrimonio.
  4. ^ Incluso el artículo sobre el famoso polímata Leibniz actualmente lo presenta con sólo cuatro profesiones.
  5. ^ Sentí que tanto "escritor de cuentos y escritor de viajes" como "escritor de cuentos y viajes" también tienen problemas.
  6. ^ La propaganda, cuando se publicó el mes pasado, parecía estar basada en la propaganda anterior de 2008 , cuando la lista de profesiones estaba presente en el artículo. Sin embargo, sentí que simplemente eliminar todas las otras profesiones en la propaganda para ajustarse al encabezado del artículo actual era una edición demasiado audaz, aunque no tengo reparos similares sobre la eliminación de la lista de profesiones del encabezado del artículo, ya que muchos de los detalles relevantes se mencionan en el cuerpo del artículo de todos modos.
  7. ^ El artículo también señala que así es como Shelley se veía a sí misma principalmente.
  8. ^ Las palabras "dramaturgo" y "ensayista" ya no aparecen en el artículo.
  9. ^ en general, si estoy haciendo un cambio debido únicamente a problemas de longitud, dejaré un comentario indicando como tal (por ejemplo, "reformulado para cumplir con el límite de caracteres" o "eliminado para compensar la longitud agregada de esta edición"). Con tales cambios, trato de mantener todos los matices iguales, y solo prefiero el reemplazo por su longitud más corta. Por supuesto, si la longitud no fuera un problema, hubiera preferido dejar la redacción sin cambios en estos casos, así que si alguna vez sientes que algún cambio así etiquetado debería revertirse, no dudes en hacerlo.
  10. ^ En general, cuando era estudiante, obtuve mejores notas en matemáticas que en inglés, por lo que fácilmente podría estar equivocado aquí, o tal vez esté analizando esto con un sesgo técnico que no debería usar. Además, después de que cuestionaste mi cambio de "probably" a "likely", me enteré de que algunos gramáticos creen que cuando "likely" se usa como adverbio, debe ser calificado. No tenía idea sobre esta regla. ¿Es esto algo que se observa en Wikipedia? Obviamente, mi uso de "likely" es incorrecto si ese es el caso. Eso podría explicar por qué el encabezado del artículo en realidad usa "most probably caused by", aunque, para mí, esto estima que la probabilidad es significativamente mayor al 50%.
  11. ^ En realidad no estoy seguro de cómo "causado por" podría ser problemático, pero me interesaría conocer su solución diferente.
  12. ^ La página de título de la obra confirma que la ligadura estaba presente en el momento de la publicación.
  13. ^ Creo que el recuento puede haber sido más cercano a 50, pero incluso contando de manera conservadora, creo que es más de 40. Además, el recuento no difiere mucho entre entonces y ahora, pero la declaración probablemente se analiza con mayor precisión utilizando los bordes dibujados entonces.
  14. ^ No parece haber ninguna contradicción si la canción hubiera alcanzado el número uno en más de 40 países, pero si ese fuera el caso, supongo que se habría hecho tal declaración en lugar de la que actualmente aparece en el artículo.
  15. ^ Hong Kong está incluido pero no es un país.
  16. ^ Es posible que la fuente de esta lista se haya archivado aquí.
  17. ^ Austria, Bélgica, Dinamarca, Finlandia, Francia, Alemania, Grecia, Irlanda, Italia, Luxemburgo, Países Bajos, Portugal, España, Suecia y Reino Unido.
  18. ^ No menciona dónde alcanzó la canción su punto máximo en las listas luxemburguesas, y no sé qué se consideraría una fuente confiable para esos datos, pero la primera versión del artículo incluye a Luxemburgo en su lista.
  19. ^ cambiar " Parlophone " a " Parlophone Records ", reflejando el texto del enlace utilizado actualmente en la introducción del artículo, sería una solución rápida.

Precioso aniversario

-- Gerda Arendt ( discusión ) 11:00 30 ago 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]

Gerda Arendt , qué apropiado que aparecieras cuando Dank y yo estábamos discutiendo los beneficios de expresar elogios y simpatía en la sección anterior. Gracias por el recordatorio. Todavía recuerdo lo sin palabras que me quedé cuando me entregaste el premio el año pasado, ya que fue una expresión de elogio tan inesperada. Muchas gracias por administrar el preciado premio, ya que creo que ha tenido un impacto positivo general en el proyecto .
Qué mundo más pequeño, qué apropiado. Normalmente, cuando voy por ahí, veo si puedo conectar el precioso recordatorio con algo, como un nuevo GA, pero no lo he investigado demasiado. Sugerí el TFA de hoy (¿lo sabías?) en memoria de su gran autor. - Precious - no fue mi invención, solo me basé en lo que otros hicieron antes que yo. Phaedriel fue el mejor, seleccionando una imagen y un poema dedicados a cada destinatario. Rlevse fue el que lo conservó durante más tiempo, y a diario, hasta que llegó la terca yo ;) -- Gerda Arendt ( discusión ) 21:35, 30 de agosto de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
Gerda Arendt , admito que no lo sabía; qué coincidencia. De hecho, a veces miro la nominación de una reseña para entender mejor cómo se redactó y para tratar de evitar editar en contra de un consenso previamente establecido. Sin embargo, para ser honesto, si hubiera revisado esta nominación, el hecho de que la hubieras nominado no me habría llamado la atención, simplemente porque has contribuido tanto en esa área que descubrir que fuiste tú quien la nominó me parecería bastante normal.
Sí, Phaedriel y Rlevse también impresionaron en la administración del premio, pero creo que eres tú quien lo convirtió en una institución, por lo que mis elogios para ti siguen siendo incondicionales .
Gracias, acepto sonrojarme un poco. (Tengo un rincón para eso en mi charla, pero hasta ahora solo tiene entradas de esa charla). Con Shelley, traje cuatro nombres en negrita a la página principal de ayer , no recuerdo nada parecido, me sonrojé un poco más. ¡Siéntete libre de editar mi inglés cuando quieras! In Freundschaft está disponible para GA, con una historia. -- Gerda Arendt ( discusión ) 06:48, 31 de agosto de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
Oh, Gerda Arendt , agradezco la oferta de trabajar contigo para conseguir que un artículo alcance el estado de GA, especialmente porque esperaba ganar algo de experiencia en esa área, pero en este momento, me estoy quedando atrás de lo que me gustaría en la edición de textos de TFA y tengo algunas otras tareas en Wikipedia que realmente debería estar completando, por lo que siento que sería irresponsable de mi parte comprometerme con otra cosa en este momento. Sin embargo, si encuentro el tiempo para volver a ITN/C, me encantaría ayudar a editar nuevamente una de tus nominaciones. ¡Quizás algún día, estableceremos tu récord de página principal en cinco !

¡Una cerveza para ti!

Gracias, Levivich , me alegra saber que mi estilo de edición te ha resultado útil .

Anuncios de octubre

Te dejo el trabajo pesado a ti, pero hago algunas modificaciones que espero te faciliten el trabajo. Me aseguro de que la longitud comience entre 925 y 1025, 900 y 1050 caracteres (y luego puedes apuntar a cualquier longitud entre 900 y 1050). Aparte de eso, mi objetivo es solucionar ciertos tipos de problemas antes de que surjan.

  • Una cosa más... No adopto la postura de algunos wikipedistas de etiquetar a ciertos autodenominados correctores de estilo como "pedantes" y tratar de demostrar que son culpables de hipercorrección. Si muchos de los llamados pedantes creen que X está mal, entonces generalmente haré al menos un esfuerzo para evitar decir X. Los correctores de estilo también son personas, y la mayoría de ellos hacen lo mejor que pueden; no me esfuerzo por burlarme de ellos. Donde trazo el límite es en las raras ocasiones en que son hipócritas o inconsistentes... en esos casos, no puedo seguirles la corriente, porque entonces podría parecer hipócrita o inconsistente. No estoy hablando de ti, por supuesto. - Dank ( push to talk ) 15:50, 16 de septiembre de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
    No creo que haya intentado alguna vez seriamente poner en palabras mi punto de vista sobre la pedantería, pero creo que tu declaración también captura bastante bien mi posición. Generalmente estoy bastante feliz cuando un editor corrige un error en mi escritura que puedo haber pasado por alto, aunque cuando pienso que una edición es innecesaria y principalmente aborda un problema de estilo no cubierto en el manual de estilo de Wikipedia, simplemente lo dejaré así y trataré de evitar el problema en el futuro.
    Dicho esto, entiendo que el límite que cada uno pone en una pedantería innecesaria varía, así que no voy a pretender que todas mis ediciones caerán del lado necesario de todo el mundo, o que una edición que yo personalmente creo que es innecesaria también sería considerada innecesaria por otros. De hecho, trato de cuestionarme regularmente si estoy siendo innecesariamente pedante, ya que creo que es saludable reevaluar la propia posición de vez en cuando. Así que, si alguna vez piensas que alguna de mis ediciones cruza el límite que tú trazas, por favor házmelo saber y siéntete libre de revertirlas. Tus comentarios anteriores no me han llevado a sospechar que estabas hablando de mí, pero agradezco la adenda.
    Por cierto, siempre que utilizo "para evitar la interpretación de que" en mis comentarios, generalmente es porque yo personalmente hice esa interpretación en mi primera lectura. (Si no, entonces probablemente la hice en mi segunda lectura). En tales casos, sé que no estoy editando algo simplemente por el hecho de hacer una corrección, ya que yo mismo había sido engañado por la redacción anterior. Sin embargo, el hecho de que yo haya sido engañado no significa que otros lo sean, por lo que estas ediciones también se pueden revertir si parecen innecesarias .

Creo que me estoy equivocando al sugerir enlaces más que suficientes, ya que no estoy seguro de qué es obvio para el lector y qué no. Además, el último enlace es al mismo artículo que está vinculado desde "1948 team", pero como el enlace propuesto conduce directamente a una sección de ese artículo, no estoy seguro de si viola mos : dl .
No sé lo suficiente sobre cricket para responder la pregunta. @ Coordinadores de TFA ... ¿alguien? - Dank ( push to talk ) 19:40, 11 de octubre de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
No sé qué decirte; si quieres, puedes preguntar en WP:ERRORS . - Dank ( pulsar para hablar ) 18:40, 12 de octubre de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
No te preocupes, Dank , eran solo sugerencias. No creo que sean lo suficientemente importantes como para plantearlas en wp:errors, aunque agradezco el ping a los otros coordinadores para ver si pensaban que agregar estos enlaces sería una mejora .
Debería haber pensado en esto antes: lo mejor que se puede hacer (y hubiera sido mejor si lo hubiera hecho ayer) es abordar el tema en ERRORS como acabo de hacer, y ver si hay alguna discusión. Luego, si la gente parece abierta a la idea de agregar enlaces, ese podría ser el mejor momento para agregarlos. - Dank ( push to talk ) 16:43, 13 de octubre de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
Dank , gracias por plantear este problema en wp:errors. Obtuve una respuesta mucho más positiva de la que esperaba. Creo que esta fue una buena manera de abordar el problema y, si tengo un problema similar en el futuro que creo que podría valer la pena abordar, intentaré recordar este enfoque.
Por cierto, cuando mencionaste el tema en wp:errors, mencionaste que "no estabas seguro de si debías decir algo", y yo no estaba seguro de si esto se debía a que dije que no creía que fuera lo suficientemente importante para wp:errors. Si ese fue el caso, por favor no dejes que eso te detenga en el futuro. Solo no lo mencioné porque no pensé que a otros les interesaría lo que pensé que era un problema menor, pero claramente estaba equivocado en eso. Entonces, si crees que algo es lo suficientemente importante para wp:errors, no dudes en plantearlo .

En general, a lo largo de los años la gente ha tolerado algunas divergencias entre la sinopsis y el encabezado del artículo, pero Duncan se opuso firmemente a "ocho décadas" frente a "siete décadas" en la sinopsis de hoy, y creo que probablemente no sea el único que opina así. Admito que aquí hay un poco de hipocresía... mis ediciones han tendido a ser del tipo que no ha contradicho directamente el texto anterior, pero a veces me he desviado hacia ese territorio. En los casos en que la sinopsis parece contradecir directamente el artículo, no me sorprenderá que las voces de ERRORS se hagan más fuertes sobre este tema con el tiempo, si perciben que se están haciendo ediciones que no tienen en cuenta comentarios como el de Duncan. Para la sinopsis de mañana: "1955" frente a "1960" parece chocante. No hay reglas en blanco y negro, pero las cosas que la gente ha pedido en el pasado han incluido:
Notificar al nominador de FAC sobre el cambio mediante una nota en su página de discusión de usuario... Usuario:DrGregMN en este caso
Publicar una nota en la página de discusión del artículo
Darle a la gente tiempo suficiente para hacer lo que necesita hacer... es posible que ya no tengan la fuente que usaron originalmente y que no vean Wikipedia todos los días, por diversas razones. - Dank ( push to talk ) 14:40, 15 de octubre de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
Primero hay que hacer cambios en el encabezado del artículo y ver si alguien lo revierte o lo comenta antes de cambiar la sinopsis. (Esta ha sido una regla práctica muy útil en el pasado... la gente no lo ha mencionado recientemente, pero si recibimos más comentarios como el de Duncan, supongo que la gente comenzará a pedirlo nuevamente). - Dank ( push to talk ) 15:40, 15 de octubre de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
Estoy revirtiendo el cambio de 1960 a 1955, porque no creo que haya habido suficiente tiempo para discutirlo, y se podría argumentar a favor de 1960... es decir, el censo es una fuente más sólida en general, e incluso si un autor sabe que una persona se fue en un momento específico no significa que podamos saber con certeza que nadie regresó después de eso. Es una pregunta interesante y no estoy seguro de que podamos resolverla en las próximas horas. Por supuesto, si el cambio se realiza en el texto del artículo y no se revierte, entonces háganmelo saber y estaré encantado de cambiar la sinopsis a 1955. - Dank ( push to talk ) 15:14, 15 de octubre de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
Estoy bien con dejar la redacción original, ya que la redacción sigue siendo técnicamente correcta, aunque posiblemente engañosa (de la misma manera que "Tecumseh vivió entre 1800 y 2000" es técnicamente correcto, aunque posiblemente engañoso), y admito que no creo que sea lo suficientemente importante como para pedirle a DrGregMN una respuesta tan rápida en este punto. Creo que había pensado que el año puede haber sido simplemente copiado de la declaración sobre el censo al final del primer párrafo del titular, con el "por" antes del año pasado por alto accidentalmente.
Estoy de acuerdo en que el censo de los EE. UU. es generalmente una fuente sólida, aunque en este caso (asumiendo que esta fuente citada es la fuente utilizada para el censo de 1960), la única mención directa del manganeso en el censo parece estar en la nota al pie 16 en la página 25-26 (página 26 del PDF), donde dice "La aldea de Manganese se desincorporó y el área se anexó al municipio de Wolford"; dado que el municipio figura con una población de 67 (en la página 25-18 (página 18 del PDF), a la izquierda, aparece bajo el condado de Crow Wing), esto no parece confirmar que Manganese estuviera deshabitado en 1960.
Curiosamente, la fuente de Sutherland que mencioné fue utilizada por el artículo para apoyar la afirmación de que "la mayoría de los residentes restantes se mudaron alrededor de 1955", aunque la fuente en sí misma afirma que todos ellos se mudaron en 1955. La fuente también afirma que la mayoría de ellos se mudaron en 1954, por lo que estas dos afirmaciones en la fuente pueden haberse combinado accidentalmente (o quizás intencionalmente, considerando el uso de la palabra "alrededor de").
Por cierto, encontré algunos otros problemas que parecían dignos de mencionar. Creo que el primer punto es bastante importante, mientras que todo lo demás es bastante menor.
  1. "unidad productora de mineral" se vinculó a Formación geológica en respuesta a esta revisión de artículo destacado , pero no estoy seguro de si es el mejor artículo para vincular. Las formaciones geológicas son relevantes para el tema del artículo, y se incluye una columna estratigráfica en el artículo, pero, dado que "producción de mineral" es parte del texto vinculado, habría asumido que la naturaleza productora de mineral de la unidad se habría destacado en el artículo vinculado. Sin embargo, el artículo "formación geológica" parece centrarse en cómo se forman las rocas y no parece mencionar los minerales explícitamente en absoluto, por lo que en lugar de encontrarme en un artículo que analiza cómo la roca produce mineral, me encontré en un artículo que analiza cómo la tierra produjo la roca que producirá mineral. Un posible reemplazo es un enlace a ore#Ore deposits , una sección que analiza dichos depósitos seguida de una discusión sobre cómo extraer el mineral.
  2. Me sorprendió encontrar que "estado de EE. UU." estaba vinculado. ¿Es este un caso de sobreenlace? Las instancias anteriores recientes de la frase (o la frase "estado de EE. UU.") en los anuncios publicitarios no parecen vincularla, como se ve en los anuncios publicitarios de huracán Rosa , M-1 , Achelousaurus y la Interestatal 296 .
  3. Parecía que estaba justificado un enlace con el manganeso, así que vinculé la primera instancia de la palabra "manganeso" (que se usa para referirse al elemento), como se hizo en el prólogo. Alternativamente, creo que "el mineral" podría vincularse en su lugar, aunque esto no se hizo en el prólogo.
  4. En esta descripción se utiliza "Estados Unidos", aunque ya se había utilizado la abreviatura "US". No sé si se dejó sin abreviar deliberadamente, por lo que la dejé así. ¿Existen pautas relevantes con respecto a dejar un término previamente abreviado sin abreviar en una descripción? Personalmente, no tengo ningún problema con ellas, pero simplemente no recuerdo haber visto ninguna antes en una descripción.
Disculpas por no haber mencionado estos puntos antes. Me estoy quedando muy atrasado en el cronograma y estoy tratando de priorizar el aumento del buffer por ahora en lugar de plantear problemas más pequeños. Hay otros posibles problemas en los próximos dos resúmenes, pero solo plantearé un problema aquí por ahora y dejaré que usted decida si desea o no tomar medidas al respecto. Hay una discrepancia entre el resumen y el cuerpo del artículo con respecto a la fecha de lanzamiento del primer número de Lazarus . Creo que el cuerpo del artículo es correcto, pero ambas fuentes citadas no parecen respaldar la fecha de publicación indicada (o mencionarla en absoluto). Esta fuente, aunque es primaria, respalda la fecha del cuerpo del artículo. Sospecho que hay fuentes secundarias confiables, pero no las he investigado seriamente .
En general, las fuentes primarias son aceptables para las fechas de publicación. - Dank ( push to talk ) 13:24, 16 de octubre de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
No tengo objeción a la desvinculación de la formación geológica ; no tengo opinión sobre otros vínculos. Nunca se debería vincular el término "estado de EE. UU."; "Estados Unidos" contra "EE. UU." contra "EE. UU." contra nada suele ser problemático; no hay un consejo general. - Dank ( push to talk ) 13:27, 16 de octubre de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
Y por cierto, en cuanto a la propaganda que está en la página principal ahora mismo, si hubiera visto estas cosas ayer, habría desvinculado "estado de EE. UU." y habría cambiado "Estados Unidos" por "el país". No me gusta hacer cambios cuando algo está en vivo a menos que los cambios parezcan importantes. - Dank ( pulsar para hablar ) 18:05, 16 de octubre de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
Y (sé que son muchas pequeñas reglas que seguir... ¡siéntete libre de no hacerlo!), ya que recientemente estuvimos hablando sobre cuándo y cómo mencionar países... ten en cuenta que la propaganda de mañana comienza con "un roedor semiacuático que se encuentra desde el extremo sur de Texas hacia el sur hasta el noroeste de Colombia", sin mencionar a los EE. UU. La regla que tengo en la cabeza aquí solo requiere la mención de un país... puedes arreglártelas sin mencionar el otro si el otro está claro por el contexto, y lo está, porque el estado es muy conocido y el país tiene que estar al norte de Colombia. En mi experiencia, generalmente podemos sobrevivir a WP:ERRORS con eso. - Dank ( push to talk ) 18:12, 16 de octubre de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
Gracias , entiendo completamente la renuencia a editar un texto que ya está en la página principal. Creo que por ahora (al menos hasta que tenga el buffer de hasta una semana), plantearé los problemas contigo sin analizar seriamente el asunto, con la esperanza de que al menos se aborden a tiempo si se consideran lo suficientemente importantes.
Además, estoy de acuerdo contigo en que no es necesario indicar que Texas está en los Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, creo que probablemente se debería agregar el país a la descripción del monumento de guerra , ya que creo que no queda claro para un lector que no esté familiarizado con el contexto. Si los límites de caracteres no fueran una preocupación, agregaría "la ciudad inglesa de" antes de " Portsmouth ". ¿Qué piensas?
Además, no me importa tratar de hacer un seguimiento de muchas pequeñas reglas, ya que creo que es mejor estar al tanto de ellas que intentar inferirlas y violarlas accidentalmente, así que siéntete libre de mencionar cualquier pequeña regla relevante que te venga a la mente .
Para un cambio que tienes razones para creer que la gente ya ha apoyado en algún lugar, como "probablemente se reproduce todo el año", probablemente tengas una opción: puedes hacer el cambio directamente en el texto del artículo y dejar una nota en el resumen de edición o en la página de discusión del artículo dando tus razones, o puedes dejar una nota en la página de discusión del artículo primero indicando tu intención de hacer el cambio tanto en el texto del artículo como en el texto de la propaganda. - Dank ( push to talk ) 15:26, 15 de octubre de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
Este es un buen punto; todavía estoy pensando en cómo abordaría tales cambios. Dos puntos rápidos sobre la propaganda:
  1. No estoy completamente seguro de por qué se reemplazó "buff" por "brownish". Si fue porque "buff" está vinculado a un artículo de Wikipedia en el encabezado, creo que Ravenpuff ya había resuelto esto al vincularlo al artículo de Wikipedia apropiado . Si fue porque "brownish" es una palabra que probablemente sea más familiar para nuestros lectores, entonces también se podría argumentar que se debe usar "yellowish" en su lugar, ya que el artículo de Wikipedia afirma que buff es "un color amarillo parduzco claro, ocre".
  2. Desde la sección de taxonomía, puedo entender por qué alguien que estudia roedores puede afirmar que hay "mucha variación geográfica", aunque no sé si usar "mucha" es apropiado para un lector no iniciado.

No está terminado; este ya está activo. - Dank ( pulsar para hablar ) 00:37, 17 de octubre de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
Gracias , entendí; obviamente no esperaba una respuesta rápida para esto. El primer punto en realidad estaba pensado más como una pregunta para referencia futura, ya que "buff" ha aparecido en varios anuncios, aunque probablemente debería haberlo expresado más claramente como una pregunta .

Como ya le pregunté a las coordenadas sobre la fecha de muerte de este, prefiero no volver a preguntar... esperemos hasta la próxima vez que esto surja. La frase "hijos ilegítimos" ha pasado de moda, aunque, por supuesto, su significado histórico no pretende ser incendiario. "No existen los hijos ilegítimos, solo los padres ilegítimos". "hijos supervivientes de Enrique II y Leonor de Aquitania" me parece claro. Creo que tienes razón con lo de "ausente", así que reformulé para usar "lejos". Aunque esta oración no aparece en la introducción palabra por palabra, una oración más larga con la misma estructura básica sí lo hace, así que prefiero dejar el resto como está si eso te parece bien. La pregunta del título se puede resolver en WP:ERRORS. - Dank ( push to talk ) 14:53, 17 de octubre de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
Por supuesto, no hay problema con la fecha de muerte. Además, me alegro de que hayas mencionado la preocupación por el término "hijos ilegítimos". Sentí que había algo que estaba pasando por alto, pero no podía entender qué era. También tienes razón en que la redacción actual es clara ahora. Estaba buscando con tanto ahínco cuestiones (¡ja!) que podrían no haberse tenido en cuenta que estaba ignorando el hecho de que una lectura estándar de esa frase asumiría que los hijos son hijos de ambos padres nombrados. De todos modos, plantearé el tema de los subtítulos en wp: errors . ¡ Gracias , Dank !

En general, no quiero involucrarme en discusiones sobre lo que debería o no incluirse en un enlace. Haz lo que quieras... pregúntale a otra persona, o sácalo a colación en ERRORES, o (mi opción favorita) no hagas nada. - Dank ( push to talk ) 16:23, 17 de octubre de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
suena bien. no hacer nada fue mi solución predeterminada para este caso, pero no sabía si tenías alguna idea adicional. Evitaré molestarte con problemas similares en el futuro si creo que no son tan importantes .

Cambiaré "puede vivir" por "vivir" y añadiré " especie introducida ". Dado que el primer punto depende de la interpretación de una imagen, prefiero que lo plantees en ERRORES. El principal problema con la esperanza de vida de los animales en TFA es que la mayoría de los lectores tienen intuiciones que se basan en cómo funciona la esperanza de vida de los humanos; en la naturaleza, es común que los individuos de una especie tengan esperanzas de vida muy diferentes, incluso cuando nada los come y están básicamente sanos. Como muchos lectores malinterpretarán "vivir hasta x años", tal vez sea mejor no mencionar la esperanza de vida en absoluto en TFA. Pero prefiero no invitar a una discusión sobre esto ahora mismo. - Dank ( push to talk ) 16:03, 19 de octubre de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
Oh, buen punto; entonces planeo plantear el tema de Eurasia allí. Gracias por abordar mis otros puntos. Es cierto que no creo haber pensado tan profundamente sobre indicar la esperanza de vida en las sinopsis de TFA antes, pero estoy de acuerdo con tu idea. Por cierto, pensé que dejar de usar la palabra "puede" fue una gran edición, abordando efectivamente mi punto y al mismo tiempo acortando la sinopsis .
¿Debería enviar un ping al nominador cada vez que publico algo en wp:errors? En el pasado, supuse que las personas simplemente publicaban sus inquietudes y un administrador que respondía enviaría un ping cuando fuera apropiado. No quería violar eso al enviar un ping a un nominador de manera presuntuosa, pero tampoco quiero evitar mi deber si alguien envía un ping al publicar una inquietud, pero los administradores generalmente terminaban enviando el ping simplemente porque la mayoría de las personas no estaban familiarizadas con la práctica .
Por ahora, no hagas ping y, si alguien se queja, yo asumiré la culpa. Teniendo todo en cuenta, probablemente sea más seguro. - Dank ( pulsar para hablar ) 15:13, 21 de octubre de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
Eso es muy amable de tu parte , Dank . Gracias.

Aunque la cursiva inversa (es decir, la fuente normal en lugar de la cursiva y la cursiva en lugar de la fuente normal) es algo habitual en estas situaciones en la industria editorial, hemos descubierto que confunde a muchos lectores de Wikipedia... así que, en general, si algo debe ir en cursiva por dos motivos diferentes, lo pongo en cursiva. Por otra parte, si a la gente le gustaría cambiar el formato del FT para que usemos cursiva normal para el nombre del tema [ 1989 (álbum de Taylor Swift)], no tendría ninguna objeción. Pero cuidado: puedes recibir críticas incluso por plantear preguntas como esta... algunos editores piensan que la pregunta es demasiado técnica y otros piensan que está por encima de nuestro nivel salarial. Así que, en general, si nadie se queja, no planteo preguntas sobre la fuente o la puntuación. Sin embargo, no me molesta en absoluto que otras personas planteen las preguntas. - Dank ( push to talk ) 15:27, 21 de octubre de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
Tienes razón; es mejor dejar esa plantilla así a menos que me pidan cambiarla. Debería haberme dado cuenta de esto cuando miré el historial de la plantilla mientras evaluaba lo difícil que sería implementar el cambio. Hace algún tiempo, tuve la misma idea que tú con respecto a la falta de un espacio antes de los puntos suspensivos, y me sentí muy mal por el rechazo que habías recibido, ya que había pensado que tu edición estaba justificada. Desde entonces, admito que había olvidado que eras tú quien lo había hecho, así que puedes imaginar mi sorpresa cuando volví a mirar el historial. De todos modos, si alguna vez te apetece volver a añadir el espacio, al menos tendrás mi apoyo, por lo que vale. Mientras tanto, también me parece bien dejar el problema de la cursiva inversa en paz.
Por cierto, gracias por mencionar el término "cursiva inversa". Recuerdo vagamente haberlo encontrado antes, pero no podía recordarlo, ya que el tema surge muy pocas veces en una conversación normal .

Gracias Dan , hecho. (1.002) Gog the Mild ( discusión ) 14:23 18 oct 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]

Nunca eres una molestia. Este es Milhist, así que haz ping a Gog . ¿Opiniones? - Dank ( pulsar para hablar ) 22:27, 19 de octubre de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
  • Gog , creo que vincular "el" para instancias específicas de algo puede ser una práctica relativamente reciente que admito que no creo haber entendido completamente hasta que leí esta discusión . Desde entonces aprendí que encuentro útil la distinción, por lo que también he estado adoptando la práctica. Creo que mos:linkclarity también se ha citado al discutir si incluir un artículo precedente en el texto vinculado, pero esa sección del mos parece usar explícitamente solo los determinantes posesivos "su" y "Mozart's" como ejemplos de qué incluir, por lo que no me queda claro si el mos aboga por esta práctica con artículos, ya sean definidos o indefinidos. En cualquier caso, si no está de acuerdo con la práctica y prefiere que los artículos definidos no estén vinculados, ciertamente puedo hacerlo en su lugar. Con respecto a este caso específico, si "ayuntamiento" se usa de manera genérica, creo que parece inconsistente tener un "el" vinculado y no el otro. Si ambos están vinculados o no, realmente no me importa.
Entiendo que los artículos definidos no preceden a los enlaces, al igual que no preceden a los títulos de los artículos; con excepciones similares. Por eso preferiría que no se incluyera "the" en los enlaces. Gog the Mild ( discusión ) 21:06 22 oct 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
Por mí está bien, Gog . Para aclarar, ¿esto también se aplica a los artículos indefinidos o solo a los definidos ? Además , no sé si los pasaste por alto por accidente, pero los dos puntos a continuación también están dirigidos a ti .
  1. Sí.
  2. Lo siento. (Me resulta difícil navegar por estos hilos extremadamente largos. ¿Has considerado insertar subsecciones? Gog the Mild ( discusión ) 23:01, 22 de octubre de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
  • ¿Funcionaría la siguiente oración como reemplazo?
En 2005, se añadió otro cenotafio cerca en memoria de aquellos que murieron en la Segunda Guerra Mundial; en 2012 y 2013 se agregó un muro con sus nombres.
Lo sería, pero sospecho que nos hemos quedado sin tiempo.
Decidí no usar la palabra "víctimas" porque a menudo incluye a los heridos y, a veces, a los enfermos, capturados o incapacitados de alguna otra manera. Además, reemplacé "la Segunda Guerra Mundial" con "la Segunda Guerra Mundial" porque usaba menos caracteres, lo que permitía que mi reemplazo sugerido no excediera la longitud de la oración original. [q] Si hay problemas con esa sustitución, no dude en deshacerla. Si la oración es demasiado larga como resultado, sugeriría eliminar "cerca" o "y 2013". El primero se agregó para aclarar que el segundo cenotafio no es parte del monumento destacado, mientras que el segundo simplemente reconoce que no se agregaron todos los nombres a la vez. Eliminé la mención anterior del muro construido durante la década de 1970 porque no pensé que pudiera explicarlo adecuadamente sin violar el límite de caracteres, y pensé que los caracteres guardados podrían usarse mejor para explicar los detalles de las adiciones posteriores. [r]
  • Tienes razón en que el artículo tiene algunos problemas, aunque preferiría no intentar corregirlos, si no te molesta. Ya he intentado hacer esto con artículos de reseñas anteriores, pero rápidamente me di cuenta de que había demasiados otros problemas que abordar en los artículos completos, por lo que me quedaría atascado rápidamente con ese trabajo y terminaría sin llegar a ninguna parte con las reseñas .
Está bien. (No estaba sugiriendo que solucionaras los problemas, sino que llamaras la atención del autor principal sobre ellos, pero fue simplemente una sugerencia).
No te preocupes, Gog , esta sección tan larga es, sin duda, un poco difícil de navegar. Cuando Dank y yo empezamos a hablar de las reseñas de octubre, no creo que ninguno de los dos se diera cuenta de que llegaríamos a esto. Sólo habíamos hablado de unas ocho reseñas de septiembre. De todos modos, he separado la discusión de las tres reseñas de historia militar recientes en una subsección separada. No dudes en modificar el formato más a fondo si crees que te serviría de ayuda.
En cualquier caso, empezaré a adaptarme a tus preferencias de enlaces en futuras reseñas. Es cierto que esto significará que seré inconsistente en Wikipedia como resultado, ya que sigue la otra práctica y no deseo violar su estándar establecido cuando una cantidad decente de mi edición trata sobre eventos actuales. Espero que esa inconsistencia no te moleste.
Además, en cuanto a la edición de los artículos en sí, aunque aprecio tu sugerencia, temo que, independientemente de si yo fui quien arregló los problemas o simplemente llamó la atención sobre ellos, la distracción me impediría editar los textos de manera oportuna. Sin embargo, si crees que un problema en un artículo es lo suficientemente importante como para tener prioridad, no dudes en hacérmelo saber. ¡ Gracias , Gog !

Gog the Mild ha estado manejando la mayoría de los TFA de historia militar durante años y asumió tareas adicionales este año. Creo que en este punto, en lugar de enviarle un mensaje, tendría más sentido que me hiciera a un lado y dejara que ustedes dos decidan cómo quieren manejar los mensajes de historia militar. Si hay algo en lo que pueda ayudar, envíenme un mensaje. - Dank ( pulsar para hablar ) 14:56, 21 de octubre de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]
Me disculpo por no haberlo dejado claro; me refería al "el 25" que forma parte de la última oración, cuando se usa en la frase "Después de dos derrotas más el 25", presumiblemente refiriéndose a la batalla de Mine Creek y la batalla del río Marmiton . En cualquier caso, Ravenpuff parece haber tenido el mismo problema que yo, y lo resolvió reemplazando "25" por " el mismo día " (que también me funciona), por lo que este punto probablemente sea discutible ahora.

Notas

  1. ^ La sección de la cuenca en el artículo cubre esto con más detalle, pero me parece que todas las demás diferencias están relacionadas con esta diferencia en la longitud de la cuenca.
  2. ^ El resumen de la fuente también afirma que todos los participantes habían dado su consentimiento, pero muchos murieron debido a "paros cardíacos extrahospitalarios", y una persona murió debido a un "traumatismo importante mientras estaba coagulopática " , después de haber estado "involucrada en un accidente automovilístico después de ser mordida", por lo que no estoy seguro de cómo se había obtenido el consentimiento en esos casos.
  3. ^ Los números relevantes se pueden ver en la última columna del cuadro  2 de la fuente.
  4. ^ Otro problema con la declaración del anuncio es que los participantes del proyecto aparentemente solo eran elegibles para participar si "se presentaban a un hospital australiano con mordeduras de serpiente sospechadas o confirmadas entre julio de 2005 y junio de 2015", por lo que el rango indicado en el anuncio de "2005 a 2015" no es del todo exacto. Sin embargo, admito que no estoy tan preocupado por ese detalle.
  5. ^ Incluso si se puede calificar apropiadamente, incluir un enlace en la estadística a un artículo de Wikipedia que contradice esa estadística no parece una buena idea.
  6. ^ No puedo encontrar una fuente para la afirmación (actualmente en boca de todos) de que la serpiente "es responsable de aproximadamente el 60% de las muertes por mordeduras de serpiente en Australia".
  7. ^ tenga en cuenta que hay una diferencia entre la península de Baja California y el estado de Baja California , que se encuentra en la parte norte de la península. El estado de Baja California Sur , en la parte sur, parece ser afectado por ciclones tropicales con mucha más frecuencia. A los efectos de analizar la validez de la declaración del anuncio, supongo que la declaración se refiere al estado de Baja California, ya que la declaración incluye un enlace al estado. De lo contrario, el huracán Bud tocó tierra en la península unos meses antes que Rosa, lo que hace que la declaración sea trivialmente falsa.
  8. ^ La afirmación se hace en la nota 56.
  9. ^ De manera confusa, "Geoffrey" y "William" también son nombres de dos de los hijos legítimos de Enrique.
  10. ^ Además, "ausente en la Tercera Cruzada " puede sugerir que hubo una tercera cruzada, pero Richard no participó en ella, de la misma manera que "el niño estuvo ausente el primer día de escuela" sugiere que el niño no asistió a la escuela ese día.
  11. ^ El título generalmente también evitará usar una palabra similar, como "retrato".
  12. ^ Creo que sería demasiado confuso entrar en el territorio de "ceci n'est pas une pipe" , así que para simplificar, consideremos que las fotografías no necesitan la designación de representación.
  13. ^ el glosario no parece utilizar la plantilla de términos para permitir una vinculación más precisa.
  14. ^ El equipo profesional parece haberse disuelto alrededor de 1926. Sin embargo, el club actual utiliza tanto "Fundado: 2018" como "Reformado 2018" en su página web.
  15. ^ también se podría vincular con el propio Pontypridd , aunque eso rompe el patrón del resto de la propaganda de vincularse con el club de fútbol cuando se hace referencia a él metonímicamente a través de su ubicación.
  16. ^ La fuente citada solo afirma que el dinero para agregar los nombres se recaudó en 2013, no que realmente se agregaron en 2013.
  17. ^ Además, el propio cenotafio se refiere a la guerra de esta manera, como se ve aquí .
  18. ^ Para su referencia, creo que esta es una imagen del muro construido en la década de 1970, tomada de esta fuente citada. Además, la vista satelital en Google Maps debería darle una idea de la distribución del área.

Errores WP:ERRORS de hoy

Por cierto, en relación con WP:ERRORS hoy, no creo que vayas a levantar sospechas si cambias la redacción de " campanas de bronce fundido " por " campanas hechas de bronce fundido " (como se sugiere) o " campanas de bronce fundido ". Pero, como sabes, eso no funcionaría para algunos de los otros ejemplos mencionados, como el cetro de Banksia y el "campanario". - Dank ( push to talk ) 20:32, 27 de noviembre de 2021 (UTC) [ responder ]

para ser honesto, en ese momento, no creo que hubiera considerado seriamente reformular para resolver el problema una vez que vi otra instancia de "bell" a la que se podía mover el enlace, y dudo que haya pensado mucho en la ubicación del enlace ya que el ejemplo de banksia sceptrum había sido tan extremo, con la quinta instancia del género vinculada (si se cuentan las instancias de " B. "). Es cierto que, si no hubiera habido un lugar apropiado para mover el enlace, simplemente podría haberlo descartado debido a mos:overlink, ya que Gog ha declarado que tiende a no vincular tanto, y supongo que la mayoría de los lectores están familiarizados con las campanas.
Sin embargo, después de escuchar los comentarios en wp:errors, veo que otros han encontrado extraña la ubicación del enlace, por lo que trataré de evitar hacerlo en el futuro al permitirme un poco más de libertad con la reformulación si puedo encontrar una manera de hacerlo de manera simple. Obviamente, me alegró ver su mensaje, ya que básicamente confirmó mi resolución. Por supuesto, si alguna vez encuentra que alguna de mis revisiones se vuelve demasiado complicada, no dude en revertirme.

Gog , tenía algunas preguntas con respecto a esta propaganda, si tienes tiempo.

La longitud debe ser de 1025 caracteres o menos. Parece sensato abreviar el segundo uso de RAR. Sí, agregue la fecha de su muerte al bit entre paréntesis. (Si le cuesta reducirlo a 1025, no se preocupe, lo haré).
Gog , listo. 1020 caracteres. También agregué la fecha de nacimiento, ya que no recuerdo una descripción en la que, si se sabían ambas con certeza, solo se escribiera la fecha de muerte completa. Siéntete libre de deshacer cualquier cosa que haya hecho si no estás de acuerdo .

Además, me tomé la libertad de intentar reescribir la sinopsis que mencionaste, ya que nuestros estándares de sinopsis han cambiado significativamente desde que se escribió por primera vez, y parecía más difícil intentar trabajar con lo que estaba allí. Sin embargo, no quería reemplazar la sinopsis actual con mi versión unilateralmente, y quería obtener tu opinión sobre mi borrador.

El pez espátula americano ( Polyodon spathula ) es un pez de agua dulce de piel lisa y aletas radiadas que es la única especie viva de la familia de los peces espátula . Con fósiles que datan de hace más de 300 millones de años, antes de que aparecieran los dinosaurios, el pez a menudo se considera una especie relicta , ya que conserva algunos rasgos morfológicos de sus primeros antepasados, incluido un esqueleto principalmente cartilaginoso y un rostro en forma de paleta que se extiende desde su cráneo por aproximadamente un tercio de su longitud corporal. También se considera un pez altamente derivado debido a sus novedosas adaptaciones, como la alimentación por filtración . El pez planctívoro tiene un promedio de 5 pies (1,5 m) de longitud y tiene una aleta caudal heterocerca que se asemeja a la de los tiburones. Es originario de la cuenca del río Misisipi , con un área de distribución que se extiende hasta los Grandes Lagos , pero ahora se considera vulnerable debido a la sobrepesca , la caza furtiva , la destrucción del hábitat y la contaminación, y sus poblaciones naturales han muerto en la mayor parte de su área de distribución periférica, incluidos Nueva York y Pensilvania . ( Artículo completo... )

Por favor , déjame saber lo que piensas. Por supuesto , eres bienvenido a editar directamente la sinopsis propuesta, como en tfar .
Creo que me gusta "se ha extinguido"? "El alcance ha disminuido [a ...]" también funcionaría. - Dank ( pulsar para hablar ) 01:34, 15 de abril de 2022 (UTC) [ responder ]
El problema con "extirpar" es que se estaba utilizando en un sentido casi opuesto a los significados que se dan en mw.com y ahdictionary.com, que tienen connotaciones de intencionalidad. Muchos biólogos utilizan la palabra "extirpar" en el sentido que se utiliza en la introducción del artículo... pero si quieren que los no biólogos los entiendan, entonces no deberían hacerlo. Las reseñas de TFA son un lugar donde, a lo largo de los años, tuvimos cierto éxito al adaptar el texto con delicadeza a los diccionarios, pero sin hacer un gran alboroto... las raras veces en que nos preguntaban directamente sobre cambios como estos, normalmente decíamos algo como: el lenguaje no técnico era quizás más adecuado para la página principal, con su público lector más amplio. Pero puede que esté malinterpretando el problema. - Dank ( push to talk ) 12:57, 15 de abril de 2022 (UTC) [ responder ]
¡Ah, ja! En realidad tenías razón sobre la extensión; me había olvidado por completo de agregar la plantilla tfafull a la sinopsis. Ahora agregué la plantilla y quité algunos caracteres adicionales al reemplazar "características" por "rasgos".
También me gusta tu edición; había decidido usar "extirpado" en el encabezado del artículo, pero también me preocupaba que fuera más técnico de lo habitual para la página principal. Tu versión es más fácil de entender y también es más corta. Tu análisis también es bastante útil; mi experiencia con el término ha sido en gran parte a través de Wikipedia, lo que significa que antes no estaba al tanto de las otras connotaciones, así que gracias por la información .

Curiosamente, cuando redacté por primera vez el borrador de la propaganda anterior, había tres puntos que pensaba comentarles, pero al final no lo hice por falta de tiempo. Resulta que ahora se han planteado dos de los puntos: el uso de términos posiblemente demasiado técnicos y la discrepancia entre la propaganda y el artículo sobre la edad del registro fósil. El tercer punto era completamente trivial, pero pensé que podría compartirlo de todos modos en este momento.
i had wanted to lament the fact that i could not find space in the blurb to mention that the american paddlefish had been accidentally successfully crossbred with the russian sturgeon. if i am understanding the paper correctly, scientists had mixed russian sturgeon eggs with (non-radiated) american paddlefish sperm as a negative control in a gynogenesis experiment, not expecting the hybridization to be successful. the sturddlefish was announced in 2020, so it would have been an upbeat update since the last blurb (as opposed to the decidedly less upbeat one about it now being the only extant taxon in its family).

(i'm not a zoologist, but i try to cosplay as one whenever a blurb on an animal species shows up in the tfa queue.) i agree that there are times when wikipedia would be better served with a primary source, though can also understand why there is a general preference for secondary sources. unfortunately, it appears that this was a case of secondary sources containing erroneous information. thanks for updating the article! dying (talk) 03:31, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As you are fond of adding notes in hidden text to articles, I wanted to let you know that a project is underway to have a bot move all older instances of hidden text of more than 50 characters to the article talk pages, to avoid clutter of the wikitext, since hidden text is often not updated as the article changes.

Wikipedia:Today's featured article/September 13, 2022

Hi Dying, hope you're well. I'm feeling better than I was a year ago, and I'd like to offer some input on some September blurbs that you haven't worked on yet. After some discussion, if you decide you're on board, then you can make the edits during your normal copyediting, and if not, that's no problem at all. The first thing I'd like to talk about, if you're willing, is "British former javelin thrower" in the first sentence of the blurb on the 13th. "British former" is a popular phrase in first sentences of our sports articles and I'm pretty sure nothing I say will ever succeed in eradicating it, but it's got three or four major problems IMO, and during my seven years of coordship, I was generally successful at changing it to something like (in this case) "former javelin thrower from Britain" (or the United Kingdom) or "British javelin thrower, active [in some regard] from [date] to [date]". - Dank (push to talk) 15:40, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dank! so glad to hear that you're doing better. your input is always welcome. i had actually wanted to ask for your advice regarding this blurb, so your timing is serendipitous.
i'm not sure if we both have the same issues with "British former", or find it problematic on different grounds, but to me, it seems strange to label sanderson as a "former javelin thrower" if she presumably still has the faculties to throw a javelin. the article body states that she "retired from competition in 1997", so using "retired" seems more appropriate to me. also, according to my understanding of the order in which attributive adjectives are typically presented, "former" (or "retired") should precede "British", so if i were rewriting the phrase, i would have stated "retired British javelin thrower". however, wikipedia categories such as "Lithuanian former pagans" seem to disagree with me.
i can see the argument that "British" should precede "former" so that there is no danger of a reader believing that sanderson is no longer british. i have also switched the order of adjectives myself in a previous blurb, after having been confused by the previous placement of the word "former". however, i don't think it is likely that a reader would misinterpret "former British" in this case, as pragmatics suggests that her current (rather than former) nationality would be mentioned in the opening sentence. in any case, the point would be moot if "retired" is used instead.
that being said, had i been copyediting this blurb unilaterally, i would probably have left it as is, following the article lead. however, if you also think that there are issues with the current wording, i think changing it is warranted. your first suggestion sounds good (assuming that you have no issues with "former"), although the second, in this case, may require a bit of original research (as when sanderson started her career seems unclear), and the added length may be an issue since the blurb is already near the character limit.
i had also wanted to ask you about post-nominal letters, as two blurbs scheduled for september include them: this one for sanderson, and the one for alexander cameron rutherford. i had previously assumed that, if mentioned, such distinctions were generally described unabbreviated in the prose, as in this blurb for etta lemon. unfortunately, in both the sanderson and rutherford blurbs, it looks like squeezing in such a description without breaking the character limit would be difficult. has there been any previous guidance on the matter? dying (talk) 02:17, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
My answer to most of these questions is: I'm not sure. I was never the answers-to-all-your-language-questions person; my main contribution (if any) was doing some minimal copyediting designed to reduce conflict among Wikipedians (not an easy task, but an important one, I think). And then I got sick, and I haven't been keeping an eye on language discussions like I used to ... so, any information I have could be dated or just wrong. But I'd like to pass along some of what I learned during my years at TFA, and when I'm wrong, I'm sure people will figure that out ... in many ways, TFA is healthier than it ever was, with lots of smart contributors, including you of course. More soon. - Dank (push to talk) 17:23, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I really like your edits on this one, especially "retired". But, for bios, aren't we still using the name as it appears in the page title rather than as it appears in the first sentence? I checked all the blurbs for August and September and they seem to follow that rule (even for the fictional C.J. Cregg). It sounds like you've found plenty of support in other articles for "retired", but if that's challenged, please let me know. - Dank (push to talk) 01:35, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
thanks, Dank! it was your raising of the issue that made me question whether the phrase should be reworded, so i'm glad you mentioned it. also, please don't worry if you don't have the answers to all of my questions; if you can't answer one, it's likely no one can. by the way, i agree that your conflict-avoiding style has made a big difference. i review our discussions here every so often to make sure i haven't strayed too far from your guidance, and became aware the other day of yet another group of potential conflicts that i could have accidentally walked into had i not followed your advice.
i believe you're right about the bolded link using the name in the article's title rather than the one in the article's opening. that issue was admittedly troubling me for a while, but i could not recall ever seeing someone correct it, so at the time, i had just made sure it conformed to mos:nickname. i've edited the blurb accordingly. thanks for pointing this out!
also, in case you haven't noticed, i have been trying to post my copyedits eight days before a blurb's run date (taking advantage of that schedule reshuffle about a month ago), so if something happens in meatspace that is out of my control (or if i simply forget to hit the publish button, like i did here), i should still be able to get my copyedits done at least a week before. of course, all my edits remain up for discussion, so feel free to revert anything that seems amiss. dying (talk) 07:20, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, thanks for the timely copyediting, that helps a lot. Btw, I've just made a few edits on Wikipedia:Today's featured article/September 26, 2022 that I hope dealt with a few potential problems, but feel free to revert or change things, as always. - Dank (push to talk) 03:06, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
admittedly, i am having trouble understanding why the road is being referred to as "U.S. Highway 8" rather than "U.S. Route 8", the article title. did you understand why during your copyedit? to me, it seems like most of the articles on the u.s. numbered highway system generally prefer to use the wording "U.S. Route x" over "U.S. Highway x". also, i found the image selection unusual, as the route marker probably will not noticeably improve a reader's understanding of the subject, and may be a violation of mos:decor, so i will likely try to ask Wehwalt about that later. dying (talk) 07:25, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
False alarm ... the nominator objected to running this article at TFA, and Wehwalt has pulled it. Imzadi has a personal preference for the word "Highway"; I don't really understand the issue, but I've tried to keep that in mind. - Dank (push to talk) 16:01, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
oh! somewhat unexpected on both counts. thanks for letting me know. dying (talk) 06:44, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

October TFAs

Another WP:WTW issue to consider: "A 2021 study stated that the impactor likely originated in the outer main part of the asteroid belt." I'm not sure what meaning the readers are going to assign to "stated" ... is the writer saying "it's just one study, don't take it seriously until it's confirmed or denied by other studies"? (If so, my take is that it probably doesn't doesn't belong in a TFA blurb, with our space restrictions.) What do you think ... you've read that part of the article (I think), does the article take the position that the study is credible? - Dank (push to talk) 13:43, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
i had thought it was strange that this study was mentioned in the blurb but not in the lead. i had noticed that it was added during tfa/r, after you had raised the point that the sentence it had replaced was no longer supported by the article. i had figured that the heightened scrutiny it had received meant that it was appropriate for the blurb, so i admittedly did not think to question it. the study is mentioned in the article in the middle of a list of theories, but i did not sense that the article took a position that this is now an established theory, or that it is a fringe or debunked one.
ultimately, i did not think the statement was as strong as the rest of the blurb, but do not think i have the experience to determine if it really belonged there. regardless, i would support a decision either way. if you do decide to remove the sentence and are looking for something to replace it, i would suggest mentioning the shocked quartz, gravity anomaly, and tektites. they are mentioned in the lead, and were also mentioned in the previous blurb. dying (talk) 01:32, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. The next time I see this issue at TFAR, I'll discuss it there. Since the blurb is protected now and will run tomorrow, I'm probably too late to change it. - Dank (push to talk) 02:21, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I just noticed that "extinct" or "extinction" is now mentioned three times in one sentence ... this is the kind of thing that would have jumped out at me before. I'm getting concerned about how out-of-practice I am; I'll think about whether I want to throttle back at TFA and try something simpler for a while. Anyway: I think it would help to remove something ... maybe "a mass extinction"? - Dank (push to talk) 09:56, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
the repetition is my fault; that sentence was taken near verbatim from the article lead. i had also noticed the repetition, but had figured that it was alright since it was present in the version that was kept during far, and i could not think of a more proper rewording. i had debated removing "a mass extinction", but did not want to remove a link unilaterally, and i believe its removal (at the time i had decided against it) would have resulted in a blurb less than 925 characters long. now that the blurb is slightly longer, i agree that removing it is a good idea. also, i think you out of practice is better than me trying my best, but i'll understand if you want to focus on something else for a while. dying (talk) 10:42, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You're being kind, but thanks. I'm still here and paying attention, the best I can, I'm just going to set my sights lower and spend more time on other wiki-things. I've been reviewing some old files I wrote for myself where I tried to make sense out of how blurbs should handle contrast words (whereas, although, etc.) and implication words (because, thus, due to) ... I don't know. These are two subjects where it might be more helpful to try to cover the whole subject rather than just making drive-by comments now and then. Do you have any general thoughts, or links or RSs you want to point me to, concerning the use of contrast and implication words in general? - Dank (push to talk) 10:59, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, maybe it would be helpful to at least say the main thing: don't use a contrast word (but, however, although, etc.) in a sentence if there's no actual contrast visible in that sentence, or at least some kind of violated expectation. (Sounds obvious but ... bad examples are surprisingly common. I'll add some of these examples below, soon.) Savvy readers know that there are many types of contrast that can be implied by a "but", and if they can't figure out what's being contrasted, they may keep digging in a vain attempt to find it. It's best if the contrast can be located immediately ... so, for instance, if a sentence starts with "Although", keep that first phrase short, and put the thing that's being contrasted immediately after that first phrase. Some common contrast words can be problematic: don't use "while" to indicate contrast, because it has so many meanings (at the same time as, although, whereas, except for), and the clues to its real meaning can be subtle. Also, since "however" can sometimes be complex and ambiguous, always replace it with "but" if "but" seems to make sense. - Dank (push to talk) 17:43, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Here too, it looks like I was distracted ... I think the general point was worth making, but the last sentence makes this point a non-issue here. Sigh. - Dank (push to talk) 10:07, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see I was just reverted. Do you have any clear preference one way or the other? - Dank (push to talk) 03:58, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, the offending phrase was just changed to "Driven primarily by streams and digital sales", which is much better. That was the only thing I was concerned about. I haven't looked at the other edits (but I'm happy to discuss them, if you like, as always.) - Dank (push to talk) 13:39, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This edit seems to put a finger on a problem. Main Page people are used to moving words around to avoid consecutive links, but that doesn't work well when wikiprojects and review processes have longstanding processes of figuring out where they want to put the words, and then those processes are ignored for reasons that seem arbitrary. I've generally dealt with this problem by not dealing with it, making it someone else's problem. How you want to deal with it is up to you. But if someone thinks you've put a word in a place that's clearly wrong, then they're not likely to believe that your other edits (which they may not be so sure about) are right. So sometimes it's better to just leave things alone. Delinking may be an option in some cases; if you want to do that but you need someone to publicly argue the case for it before you try, I can do that. - Dank (push to talk) 14:34, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Your Power's editing style is currently fascinating to me, as they are often second-guessing themselves, as seen in the blurb's history as well as that of the tfa/r nomination. (i do the same, but just don't hit the publish button as often.) the original blurb was actually written by Your Power themself, so much of the subsequent editing is self-critique. this appears to be Your Power's first tfa blurb, and it is clear that they want it to look as best as they can, so i would give them plenty of leeway. i think they take suggestions well, since they did not revert the comma i had removed from the caption (even though they had originally added it), and took the initiative to split a sentence when i had pointed out that it had been a string of independent clauses.
regarding mos:seaofblue, it isn't something i strongly adhere to, but i try to conform to it if i think it can be done easily without serious rewording, following your advice here. if another editor has an overriding concern, as seen here, i'm generally fine with it. in case you missed it, you might find this blurb's history interesting, as it lead to this discussion.
with respect to this blurb, i don't think the reason stated in Your Power's edit summary is actually true for tfa blurbs for songs. however, it may be true for recent tfa blurbs within the genres of their interest, which i would consider to be a sufficient enough reason. in any case, i admittedly don't really care to enforce mos:seaofblue against an fac nominator who prefers to override it, even if the fac nominator's preference had been whimsical (which i don't think is the case here anyway). however, i really appreciate the offer of you backing me up had i cared to enforce it. dying (talk) 23:05, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't following many MOS discussions while I was sick, which is one reason I'm very happy that you and the coords have been putting so much effort into blurbs. As long as you're aware of the pros and cons, I don't have a preference how you choose to tackle SEAOFBLUE issues. - Dank (push to talk) 03:25, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
And ... good for you. IMO, making an effort to get a sense of what kinds of edits writers might be open to is indeed an integral part of this job. - Dank (push to talk) 13:32, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

military history

Second Punic War

Borodino-class battlecruiser

the lead actually now uses the wording "the three furthest from completion", but i dropped the detail since including it would result in "completion" being used thrice in the blurb, and once izmail is described as the one nearest to being finished, the status of the other three should be clear. also, regarding the last substitution, i had figured that it would be obvious that the plan was cancelled if the ship was scrapped. note that this blurb is scheduled to appear on the main page tomorrow, so i'll understand if you prefer to leave it alone. dying (talk) 09:26, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Pinging Gog the Mild and Sturmvogel 66: I see this will be on the Main Page in less than 11 hours. Sorry for the late ping. I have no preferences here; let me know if I can help. - Dank (push to talk) 13:22, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That looks fine to me, except for the last one. Gog the Mild (talk) 14:31, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, would you like me to make those changes? - Dank (push to talk) 14:42, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) As the plan was cancelled in 1926 and the ship scrapped in 1931, linking the political manoeuvering and the scrapping seems potentially misleading. Perhaps "... but the plan was cancelled after political manoeuvring by the Red Army led to funding not being available. The ship was scrapped in 1931." if the character limit allows? Or "... ... but the plan was cancelled after political manoeuvering led to funding not being available. The ship was scrapped in 1931." Gog the Mild (talk) 14:55, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't mind, but was there any reason I was included in the ping?
PS Putting some sub headings into sections like this would make live a lot easier for drive by contributers like myself. Gog the Mild (talk) 14:58, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
sorry, Gog! reformatted.
i believe the substitutions i had suggested would result in a blurb with 1023 characters. there are a few other areas where characters might be trimmed, but i don't feel comfortable doing so without Sturmvogel 66 weighing in. i admittedly had not interpreted "after" to create a causal link, but can see how that might be suggested. my proposed edits were only meant to honor Sturmvogel 66's update to the lead, so if a more involved edit would be required to reflect the changes, it might be better to simply leave the blurb with a slight inaccuracy rather than change it to something that i am not sure Sturmvogel 66 would be happy with. dying (talk) 21:46, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Any questions on miscellaneous Main Page words-to-watch issues?

An edit summary on a TFA blurb edit yesterday by one of the Main Page folks implied (to me) that more needs to be done. I'm not blaming you, obviously, but maybe a good place to catch some of these things would be around a week before they go live ... which, happily, is about when you're doing your copyediting. Before I dive in, I'd like to get a better sense of your own preferences ... I want to do my best to support your approach to these things. Maybe we could start with a few conversations about issues relevant to our words-to-watch guideline? I'm open to talking about pretty much anything relevant to that page, including words that contrast, contradict, promote, editorialize, add ambiguity, get the time sequence wrong, or make grand assumptions about the reader's knowledge. But if you'd rather take it one blurb at a time, that's fine too. - Dank (push to talk) 20:32, 25 September 2022 (UTC) To repeat myself: I'm not blaming you ... you're very good with all of these things. I'm just saying that making maybe a few more tweaks to existing blurbs each month will help to keep the peace. - Dank (push to talk) 21:53, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

sure, i'm happy to discuss anything about the words-to-watch guideline (or anything else you'd like to discuss) whenever you would like, though i do appreciate you checking in to see if i had any preferences. by the way, i have noticed that the rate at which i post copyedits has been able to provide me sufficient motivation to focus my efforts on a decently finalized copyedit on a regular schedule (and, i have also found, generally allows me to let go of certain issues that i may be overthinking). however, this doesn't preclude me from addressing blurbs out of order. i currently don't have the habit of responding quickly to issues in blurbs that are weeks away (partially to focus on that day's copyedit and partially because i may not have any idea what my thoughts on the issue are at that point), but i can change that if you'd like.
anyway, i'm pretty flexible, so feel free to dive in, and i can follow your lead. dying (talk) 01:55, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Quick question before we start: would it be helpful if you had the option of subscribing (long-term) to the TFA section of WP:ERRORS, so that you'd get a notification when someone posts there? ("Notifications" are what you get when, for instance, someone "thanks" you with the thank button). After some testing, it looks like I can make that work if I get permission from the ERRORS folks to pin a comment at the top of the section. I've started asking around. - Dank (push to talk) 15:33, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
oh! good idea. i believe the subscribe link relies on javascript, which i generally don't use, so it had never occurred to me to subscribe to that section of the errors page. in any case, i am subscribed now, or at least until the comments currently there are cleared out.
does the pinned comment have to be visible, or can it be hidden in ways other than commenting it out? also, can the comment be empty, aside from its timestamp? for example, i am wondering if the following comment would work.
<!-- please do not remove this timestamp. it allows editors to subscribe to this section. --><span style="font-size: 0">00:00, 1 January 2000 (UTC)</span>
it may also be useful to ask other editors to comment below the timestamp, rather than above, if subscriptions are based on the timestamp of the top comment rather than that of the first comment. also, i am currently assuming that subscriptions are based on timestamps in signatures, though if they are based on timestamps in metadata, hiding such a timestamp may actually be easier. in any case, if this ends up being a successful long-term solution, i think it may be helpful to update the "Clear all reports" button to link to a version of the page that includes the timestamp. dying (talk) 20:59, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
When I tested a hidden comment at a random WP-space page (I used WP:UPDATE), it didn't work ... I'm guessing that means that no hidden comment will work, but I don't know. Glad to hear you like this; I'll post my request at WT:ERRORS and see what happens. More to come! - Dank (push to talk) 21:02, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I've just added the hidden comment you suggested to an old, generally unvisited page in WP-space that I use sometimes to test things: Wikipedia:Update (at the top of the first section). It doesn't seem to be working. - Dank (push to talk) 21:37, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The "Clear all reports" button won't be a problem ... I see how to fix it to leave any comment I like ... if I can get consensus for the change. - Dank (push to talk) 21:38, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
oh, interesting! it looks like the code for determining the first timestamp is more involved than i thought. thanks for testing my suggestion. dying (talk) 22:13, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Success! I kept trying things until your suggestion worked. You can see the results at WP:Update#Content policy and WT:ERRORS. - Dank (push to talk) 22:27, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bulgaria Square moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Bulgaria Square, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Implication

I promised above to share some things that I think I know about implication words in blurbs (because, due to, therefore, etc.). This is your user space, and I'm hoping you'll change and adapt much of this to match your own understanding and fit your own needs, but the main thing I want to say here is: heavy reliance on implication words almost always creates a non-encyclopedic tone. People start using ... and especially, misusing ... implication words in speech by age five. These words figure heavily in text where people are trying to assert without evidence that they know what's really going on and why, and in promotional and bombastic text. If implication words appear in blurbs when they're not being put to some legitimate use, they can quickly start to signal the wrong tone. So, my proposal is that we keep a running list of "things that should never or almost never be asserted as the cause of something in a blurb". I'll get us started.

  1. Ambiguous things. Working out what constitutes an ambiguous cause can be hard, but I'm hoping that if we struggle with this for a while, eventually it will seem obvious enough that we can just condense it to a few snappy points that will be clear enough going forward. So, I'll start out by stumbling around a little. Here's a fictional example: the writer gives us "It had been raining all day, and the fallen leaves made the roads slick. A heavy fog had just settled in. Because of this, the next car that rounded the curve skidded into a ditch". A bad copyeditor might decide that the problem is the ambiguity of the word "this" and change it to "Because of all three of these things ...". Better would be to simply remove "Because of this". A big problem for Main Page writers is that we never really know who we're writing for ... the Main Page presumably has a broad readership, which makes precise advice impossible. But I think it's reasonable to assume that our target readership understands that the point of the first two sentences is to set the scene for the third sentence, and to suggest some actual or possible causes. What makes "Because" wrong is that there's some ambiguity here ... it might have been the rain or the leaves or the fog that was the biggest problem, or maybe the car was going too fast. Maybe the writer's sources didn't hazard a guess, or maybe the writer is skeptical. Bottom line: if there's any ambiguity in the cause, then "Because" is a mistake.
  2. Anything connected to shame or blame. I've removed implication words from blurbs that seemed to be saying (paraphrasing): "The man was bad and, therefore, had to die" or "The habitat is inaccessible and, therefore, no one has provided a description of the species". Of course, some men have been bad, and some species are inaccessible. But criminal guilt and innocence are (ideally) decided at the courthouse, and whether a species description is up to scholarly standards is a matter for scholars to decide. Words like "therefore" can lead a reader to come to a conclusion before they've been presented with relevant evidence or with the full story of how things turned out.
  3. Anything reflecting basic, universal knowledge of how the world works. One blurb used "causing" in the following sense (but the other words have been changed, as usual, to protect the guilty!): "The plane slammed into the cliff, causing it to burst into flames". None of my advice is guaranteed to work, because language changes all the time, sometimes in strange ways, but I'd be very surprised if this language ever catches on, in part because of the risk that it will come off as talking down to the reader. The usual way to write this is: "The plane slammed into the cliff and burst into flames".
  4. Things that are being evaluated by scholars and critics. People who are paid to render an opinion on things really hate it when they're told that whatever it is they're studying "caused" them to come to some conclusion, as if they had no choice in their assessment.
  5. Gatherings of all sorts. It's surprisingly common for writers to say that a race caused a death, or a technical conference caused a change in the industry. I don't know where this is coming from, other than: writing is hard, and sometimes writers say things that are kind of true because they don't have the details they need to give a more accurate picture. Whatever the problem is here, the word "caused" makes things worse rather than better.
  6. Any reason given by an advertiser, promoter or personal agent. This used to be a "duh" point, cut-and-dried, but it's become much more complicated to identify and discount promotional language in the social media age ... promotion has become the fashion. I'm not the best person to give advice on this; I hate social media. You're probably better at picking up on these clues than I am. - Dank (push to talk) 18:40, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
wow, this is really good advice. i'm sorry that i still haven't directly responded to your earlier question. i'm actually still reflecting on my current position, and have come to realize things about myself this past week that i haven't before. i'll take some time to digest this information, but wanted to thank you for it first. dying (talk) 22:06, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

oof. well, please take care of yourself, and thanks for letting me know. as before, please don't feel obligated to respond to anything here in a timely manner, or at all.
by the way, i am slightly alarmed that i seem to have inadvertently inserted an 'i' in two successive blurbs (corrected here and here), incidentally forming different words that are also valid, but inappropriate in the context. i don't recall a pattern of erring in this manner before, but i've made a note to myself to watch out for this in the future, and thought i might also inform you so that you know of this apparent weakness of mine. dying (talk) 08:21, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

oh, that is a good question! i am assuming that your preferences are set to use the vector-2022 skin, as mine are not and i admittedly could not understand what you were talking about at first. apparently, the toc limit template uses a css file that basically hides elements classified as "toclevel-x". vector-2022, however, names these classes differently, using the form "vector-toc-level-x", so the css file fails to hide the relevant elements, as they are being classified under different names. i cannot edit the css file as it is protected, so let me ping Pppery, who last edited the css file and may be able to help you and everyone else encountering the same issue. dying (talk) 02:07, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, but not important enough. Dying, I tried (BWV 82) to just have anchors for those movement sections. What do you think, should I do that also for BWV 22?

oh, sorry, Pppery! i had assumed that you were experienced enough to either quickly resolve the issue or determine if there is no trivial fix, though if you're not interested in helping out, that's also understandable.
Gerda, i think the way you used anchors in the bwv 82 article looks good. the movement section in the bwv 22 article is much longer, so if you decide to use anchors, i think some form of heading is still called for, though i am unsure which form would be the best to use. another alternative is to spell out the ordinal numbers, e.g., "First" and "Fifth", to sidestep the issue of unusually short headers entirely. dying (talk) 16:30, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Library

Hi, you mentioned being unable to access a Jstor source at WT:DYK, have you tried WP:The Wikipedia Library, which should give access to Jstor? TSventon (talk) 20:38, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

TSventon, i have actually tried using the wikipedia library before, but unsuccessfully. i assume it has something to do with how old my machine is, but haven't invested enough time troubleshooting to pinpoint the issue. in any case, i do appreciate you reaching out to me to try to help! dying (talk) 11:39, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Did you know nominations/Ron Labinski

Template:Did you know nominations/Ron LabinskiHi. Since you are quite experienced in DYK, I thought I would find you on this query. I already reviewed and approved a nominated DYK as noted above. Yet for some reason it has still been stuck in this stage for weeks now. Is there a reason for that? Did I forget to do something? Imcdc Contact 02:12, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

wow, i'm flattered, Imcdc; i've only been at dyk for a few months!
i don't know for sure why the article has not been promoted yet, but i did notice that the article is a biography of someone from the united states. dyk sets generally have at most four biography hooks and four u.s. hooks, and people tend to try to avoid having two consecutive biography hooks in a set, or two consecutive u.s. hooks, so arranging hooks in a set to accommodate a u.s. biography hook is slightly more difficult than doing so for other hooks. also, hooks that state that a subject is the first (or described as the first) to do something tend to receive heightened scrutiny, so potential promoters may be reluctant to evaluate how valid that claim is, especially if they do not have expertise in the area.
in any case, this hook is nowhere near the oldest on the list of approved hooks, and hooks often remain at this stage for weeks, so i wouldn't worry about it. i don't think you've forgotten to do anything, if that's what you're wondering. hope this helps! dying (talk) 11:49, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You're very kind, but thanks. Btw, when I work on blurbs and offer comments now, I'm including "User:dying might have some comments later on." I want to make sure no one gets the idea that I'm saying "you're good to go, nothing more will happen until it gets to WP:ERRORS", because lots of people ... primarily you ... are going to be making comments and editing after me, and I want to make sure the nominators know that that's fine, and expected. But if you'd like for me to handle this issue in a different way, that's fine, of course. - Dank (push to talk) 18:17, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
sounds good, Dank, thanks for the explanation. also, in general, would you prefer that i comment on those wikipedia talk pages? i think pings often suggest that one is seeking input at the location of the ping, so i wasn't sure if you were hoping for me to change my workflow. i don't mind being pinged, but just wanted to make sure that i wasn't inadvertently ignoring you. by the way, sorry about breaking my streak with this late copyedit; real life unexpectedly prevented me from logging in for an extended period of time, so there wasn't really anything i could do about it. dying (talk) 00:19, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I was guessing that you wouldn't respond, I only wanted to let you see what I was doing. I won't ping you from now on when I write blurbs ... but if there are specific things that you want to know about in advance whenever I see them, then let me know and I'll ping you for those things. - Dank (push to talk) 01:28, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
oh, that makes sense, as the pings did help me understand what you were referring to. regarding any requests, i've noticed that, on occasion, i won't realize for a while that a blurb has been swapped out if i have already copyedited the original blurb, so if you see that happening, a heads-up would be appreciated. of course, i'd also welcome notices about anything else you think i should be aware of. thanks for asking, Dank. dying (talk) 00:09, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Understanding FA

Hi there. Just a thought on getting a grip on the FA process, which may or may not be of any help or use to you. Consider lurking at FAC and following the progress of three or four nominations; what the reviewers say, how the nominator responds etc. Feel free to chip in with your own comments - not necessarily a full review, but if (for example) you see something in a nominated article which is not MoS compliant, say so in a drive-by comment. This could help you get an insight into how FAs come to be.

In any event, many thanks for the invaluable work you do on TFA blurbs. Gog the Mild (talk) 12:00, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks from me too, and I'm glad Gog suggested this. - Dank (push to talk) 02:57, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Dying, a question: if I make a comment at WP:ERRORS/TFA that involves one of your edits in some way, would you prefer that I 1. ping you, 2. leave a comment here, or 3. do nothing special, on the assumption that you'll probably see it if you're "subscribed" to that section? (I just made a comment that involved one of your edits, and got shot down quickly, heh.) - Dank (push to talk) 14:08, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Dank, there's no need to ping me or leave a comment here in such instances, but i won't mind either way. i regularly check wp:errors, not only to review error reports for tfa blurbs, but also to review those for other sections, to better understand common pitfalls in general. in any case, thanks for asking.
i'm sorry about you getting pushback regarding the most recent issue raised. whether seasons should be capitalized or not is a surprisingly contentious point. luckily, i was aware of it simply because i have been following wt:date for years now. i believe the example at mos:season most applicable to this situation is "details appeared in Quarterly Review, Summer 2015". also, Premeditated Chaos has been consistently capitalizing seasons of mcqueen's fashion house in a number of articles that have appeared at tfa (and at dyk). however, i completely understand if you had missed them, as i think their main page appearances have mostly been during the past year.
this part of my copyedit was admittedly the part that gave me the most pause, so i had patterned it after the earlier blurb for the widows of culloden, figuring that it would likely be acceptable since no issues were raised when that blurb ran. had the phrase in question been used simply as a description of a time period, though, i thought your suggestion was reasonable. dying (talk) 01:35, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm happy with the outcome. Thanks for your edit on this one. - Dank (push to talk) 02:08, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Dying, one more question. I know you prefer to tackle blurbs at a set time (generally roughly 10 days before they run), but it's going to happen occasionally that people object to my blurbs (shocking, I know!) For instance, at User talk:Dank#What is this for?. I'll try to handle that myself, of course, and maybe the editor and I can agree on text, but if not, would it be okay for me to ping you and solicit advice on what blurb text you prefer in cases like this one? (And, needless to say, feel free to disagree with any of my choices.) - Dank (push to talk) 14:57, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Some progress has been made, but ... well, your call. - Dank (push to talk) 17:22, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Dank, you are welcome to ping me whenever you like for whatever reason; i can't imagine being annoyed by any of your pings.
you're right about the previous blurb; it could use a rewrite. although i usually try to take the time to read an article before copyediting its blurb, in this case, i actually remember finding this article some time ago (and being fascinated by it), so i can help with the rewrite if needed. currently, it looks like things are going alright, though if there is anything specific that you'd like me to address, please let me know. in any case, i have subscribed both to the discussion on your talk page and that on the page with the draft blurb, and may raise a few points later on. dying (talk) 07:56, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Works for me. - Dank (push to talk) 11:57, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bare urls

You've been warned several times not to use bare references, but you haven't changed your style. May I ask why? If you don't know how to put full references, you may look at related pages. So please don't put bare references in pages. Egeymi (talk) 08:32, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Egeymi, i have an old and idiosyncratic machine, and have been unable to use most of the scripts and bots that other editors use to fill in citation templates. after losing count of the number of hours i have spent trying to get something to work, i eventually found one script usable. however, as it generally takes me around a half hour to an hour to run the script for each of the sources i cite in an article and then properly format the output, i usually do not consider it an effective use of my time here, and prefer to contribute to wikipedia in other ways.
my current understanding is that providing only a url in citations is a perfectly acceptable practice, and that the main argument against doing so is to avoid linkrot, which is why i generally provide links to archived versions of the sources i cite. i acknowledge that certain projects within wikipedia require more than just a url for citations, and have taken the time to run the aforementioned script whenever i believed it was necessary. i have also noticed that you have added details to the citations of a number of articles that i have eventually submitted to dyk, a project which does require more than just a url for citations, and for that i thank you. if, however, you no longer wish to fill out citation templates for me, i completely understand. dying (talk) 23:45, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Costa Concordia DYK

Bringing this to your talk page since I don't think the DYK talk page is a good place to be discussing an already-graced-the-Main-Page hook.

In retrospect, the hook kind of trivializes the 33 deaths in a way that I didn't quite intend to. Sorry.

I'm a big advocate of asking for forgiveness. As you mentioned, asking for forgiveness has been codified in Wikipedia law. WP:BOLD will never change, will never disappear, and will always stay relevant. I did leave a comment on the DYK page: I find this interesting enough to deserve a DYK nom. This is my first time doing this, so I hope I've done everything right; that was the extent of my asking for permission. Since I myself questioned whether or not the hook would be accepted (and was honestly suprised that it got as far as it did without complaint), I did include an alt hook that more clearly defined why the phrase was notable. I had no say in which hook they used. Most potential complaints that I imagined would've been made and were made were addressed in the alt hook.

Also, neither of the hooks are my hooks. They're simply hooks that I wrote. Other people allowed it to get to the Main Page; they are more relevant than I am, as I am but a lowly hook writer, while the reviewer and the promoters have ultimate discretion. If the reviewer or the promoters had expressed an issue with allowing the hook to run, I would've changed it, or asked them to use ALT1. It went through every level of vetting and was promoted to queue, so I assumed that it was okay.

There are dark, dark articles on Wikipedia, things that I don't even dare link to. There are lesser, but still quite shocking things that would cause me to truly question everything if they were allowed to grace the Main Page. Verbal profanity (excluding most pejoratives) will never be on that list in my case.

...i believe there has been a consensus that hooks should not be promoted to simply get profanity on the main page—I don't quite understand what this means. Could an article such as fuck grace the Main Page, in any capacity? I hope so.

hooks like this will be able to get clicks, but over time, if such hooks become a trend, more people will end up avoiding the dyk section, which will end up impacting dyk's main goal: showcasing new articles and recently improved articles—sure, I guess.

the hook does not do much other than present nudity to try to hook a reader; the hook does not provide much context to indicate why this specific instance of nudity was relevant or notable—hmmm... When I wrote the hook, my understanding of DYK was that one was supposed to use a notable fact to draw people into an article. A hook such as your example one is a great way to do that. I was unaware of any policy barring me from using profanity to accomplish the goal of drawing people into an article. I don't think there is any policy or local consensus barring anyone from using profanity to accomplish that goal. Again, providing little context in DYK hooks is done all the time; rarely do they use profanity, which might set this issue apart from them, but I don't really think it does to an insane extent.

Wikipedia:Today's featured article/August 27, 2023

Ravenpuff and User:dying: I want to do whatever works best for your process of copyediting. I'm experimenting with limiting myself to making certain kinds of edits and not others, in response to edits to blurbs. I think everyone's on board with the idea that "ambiguity is bad", so I attempted to remove an ambiguity in the blurb, without making judgment calls about other edits that might be needed ... the length is wrong now, and not everyone is going to like "in Midtown Manhattan in", so it might or might not be a good idea to swap in some other preposition. The approach I'm experimenting with here is using edit summaries to communicate this ... and in the future, I could just do that without leaving any comments on any talk pages ... whatever works best. - Dank (push to talk) 15:00, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In this case: the simplest solution would be to replace the second "in" with a comma. MOS:GEOLINK would then say that we shouldn't link New York City. Regarding edit summaries is fine – is the intention to consolidate explanations of blurb changes in one place? If so I would be fine with that, although I don't normally consult revision histories before editing every TFA (except if pinged of course). — RAVENPVFF · talk · 15:25, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dank, i think the current rewording is good enough, though if you wish to restore the earlier mention that midtown manhattan is a neighbourhood (to try to avoid, for example, suggesting that the phrase is being used as a descriptive term), you can modify Ravenpuff's construction with the rewording "New York City's neighborhood of Midtown Manhattan". i'm not sure if this rewording reads better, though.
i tend to review edit summaries before editing blurbs, so will likely see any comments there, though i quickly realized that proper explanations of some of my copyedits wouldn't easily fit in an edit summary that many editors wouldn't read anyway, which is why i have taken to generally using inline comments. i would be fine with whatever method you decide to adapt.
i was able to limit myself to one edit and no reverts for a while, especially when you were helping me out with any subsequent edits, though i eventually realized that some situations essentially gave me both the mandate and the responsibility to make an additional edit, so i reference a relevant edit whenever that happens. also, i'll admit that i generally rely on Ravenpuff to address any inadvertent mistakes left by later editors, and also may file an error report if it seems called for.
by the way, i recently learned that there is a term for the general aversion to repetitive constructions like the repeated use of a preposition: horror aequi. the article for the term was recently nominated at dyk, so i thought i might share, as i had found the article fascinating. dying (talk) 20:17, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • the kinks' 1965 us tour (blurb)
    • to me, the blurb currently suggests that the shows in the u.k. constituted a tour, while those in australasia and asia did not. however, i think the shows in australasia may have been considered a tour, or at least one leg of their world tour. (i am not sure about the shows in hong kong and singapore.) i noticed that the wording used in the article lead doesn't seem to make this an issue.

  • south asian river dolphin (blurb)
    • is "of mammals" necessary? to me, this suggests that the iucn treats its red list entries on mammals as a distinct list, and i haven't found any evidence that they do.
    • sources appear to differ over whether or not a barrage is a dam. the linked "barrage (dam)" article seems to treat them as dams, but also mentions that the world commission on dams considered them distinct. if we are going to treat barrages as a type of dam, then i feel that it may be better to replace "dams, barrages" with something more appropriate, such as "barrages and other dams" or "dams such as barrages".

  • howard florey (blurb)
    • the blurb mentions that clinical trials were held in the u.s., but i couldn't find any mentioned in the article. it seems plausible that there were clinical trials in the u.s., but i haven't done any significant research to independently determine if that was the case. the article does have a section mentioning the manufacture of penicillin in the u.s., but it doesn't seem to discuss clinical trials in the u.s.
    • as there are a lot of royal societies in australia, and florey was a part of major institutions both in the u.k. and in australia, i thought i might suggest adding "of London" to the link text for the royal society. i recognize that this would make the blurb exceed the character limit. one way to resolve this is by replacing "In addition to his work on penicillin, Florey studied" with "Florey also studied".
    • if "The Queen's College, Oxford," was replaced with "The Queen's College at Oxford", "The Queen's College of Oxford", or something similar, the flow might be improved with two fewer commas.

  • 2022 tour championship (blurb)
    • would it be helpful to drop "one-year"? mentioning the 2021–22 snooker season seems sufficient, and "one-year" may be misinterpreted as referring to a calendar year, or to a rolling ranking list like the two-year list used for the snooker world rankings.
    • "2022" could be added to the link text for the links to the 2022 gibraltar open and the 2022 world snooker championship to avoid mos:egg issues, though i am not sure if doing so would result in too much repetition.
    dying (talk) 08:59, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • battle of settepozzi (blurb)
    • to me, the parenthetical "(Venetian galley pictured)" strongly suggests that the image depicts a galley that participated in the battle, even though that is not necessarily the case. i couldn't figure out a way to reword this to avoid such a suggestion, but i remember another blurb where a parenthetical simply wasn't used when the accompanying ship image was not necessarily of one that took part in the featured battle. would it be better to simply remove the parenthetical (and possibly link "galley" in the caption)? note that doing so would make the blurb shorter than the required length.
    • i noticed that the article body mentioned that the details of the battle are not clear, and that it explicitly attributes to a genoese chronicle the assertion that only fourteen ships under two admirals engaged the venetian fleet. adding a similar attribution could bump the blurb back up to an acceptable length. alternatively, i thought it was interesting that the flagships of the two admirals were captured, so we could add ", including two flagships," after "four vessels".
    Both suggestions worked in. Character count is now 994. Gog the Mild (talk) 14:08, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • solar system (blurb)
    • the infobox caption explicitly mentions that the distances are not represented to scale. would it be helpful to do the same in the blurb caption, to avoid potentially misleading main page readers who are unfamiliar with the vast distances between the planets? (i don't think the other notes in the infobox caption need to be mentioned, as neither the colors nor the sizes are misleading.)
    • The caption already says that it's an artist's interpretation, I don't think confusion will set in. Z1720 (talk) 20:49, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • to me, stating that there are "numerous dwarf planets" immediately after saying that there are eight planets suggests to me that there are much more than eight dwarf planets. however, the article notes that astronomers only seem to generally agree on the identification of nine dwarf planets. (the "list of possible dwarf planets" article seems to suggest that estimates of the actual number of dwarf planets were much higher about a decade ago than they are now.) would it be better to replace "numerous" with "a number of" or perhaps "an unknown number of"? the article lead uses the latter.
    • I'm fine with adding in "an unknown number of" Z1720 (talk) 20:49, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • i noticed that you replaced one "formed" with "coalesced into". i thought that was a good idea as the sentence had three uses of "formed" before. i had been playing with the idea of replacing "formed the Sun" with "produced the Sun" to remove the second instance, but was unsure if it was an improvement.
    • I'm not sure if, scientifically, that "produced the Sun" is an appropriate replacement. Z1720 (talk) 20:49, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • the impression i got from the "interplanetary dust cloud" article is that there is only one such cloud in the solar system, and that the cloud doesn't really move, although the dust in the cloud does. (the featured article seems to treat dust around the kuiper belt as belonging to a different region of dust, but this region doesn't seem to really move either.) would it be more accurate to remove "cloud" "clouds" from the link text? if so, i am unsure if the "interplanetary dust cloud" article should remain the link target, or if the target should be changed to something like the "cosmic dust" article.
    • Solar system says there are two clouds in the solar system. I am not sure about the link targets as I am not an expert in this field.
      • oh, sorry, Z1720! i didn't mean to suggest that i know that there is only one interplanetary dust cloud, as i don't have the expertise to understand if the region of cosmic dust beyond about 10 au is generally considered a separate "interplanetary dust cloud". (i realize now that i had suggested removing "cloud" from the link text rather than "clouds", which may have contributed to the confusion.) my point was that the cloud (or clouds) do(es)n't really "freely travel between the Solar System's regions", in a way similar to how clouds in the terran atmosphere move across the sky. instead, the interplanetary dust cloud(s) pretty much stay(s) in the same place; it is the dust in the clouds that freely travels. apologies for not making that clear before. dying (talk) 17:59, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • velociraptor (blurb)
    • i thought it was funny that the current wording could invite the misinterpretation that velociraptor had a long tail on each hindfoot. i don't think a rewording is necessary though; all the alternatives i came up with were even more awkward.
    • i can't seem to find anything in the article body asserting that velociraptor is the genus with the most described fossil skeletons out of all the dromaeosaurid genera, though i may have simply overlooked it. i feel that an assertion like this should be verified again, since the article was promoted to featured article status in 2006, so the statement may no longer be true.
    • I removed this from the blurb and article as I also could not verify this information. Z1720 (talk) 20:57, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • thanks, Z1720. unfortunately, the blurb is now significantly under the minimum blurb length of 925 characters. how would you feel about adding ", first discovered in the Gobi Desert in 1923" to the end of the first sentence? i chose to highlight those details because (1) blurbs about extinct taxa often mention some sort of date or date range, presumably to give a sense of how familiar we are with the taxon; and (2) asia is very large, while mentioning the gobi desert may suggest that velociraptor fossils were primarily found in central asia. i'm not attached to this suggestion though, and am happy if you have any other ideas to suggest. dying (talk) 17:59, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • five nights at freddy's (blurb)
    • the cosplayer is wearing what appears to be a silver costume with spiked shoulder pads, even though the representations i have seen of freddy fazbear generally show the character as brown and without shoulder pads. i admittedly haven't played the game though, so i don't know if fazbear ever becomes silver or wears spiked shoulder pads during gameplay, and it seems plausible that this variant of fazbear appears somewhere else in the franchise or in one of the fan games.
    • i thought i might suggest reordering "his previous game, Chipper & Sons Lumber Co." so that it reads "Chipper & Sons Lumber Co., his previous game." to avoid the issue of having a sentence's terminal punctuation being the same as the one at the end of an abbreviation.

WP:Today's featured article/December 10, 2023

Thanks for your stellar work at the WP:TFAA monthly talk pages. Just letting you know there's been a substitution, just this morning.

Btw, how is the November experiment going? Do you plan to do something similar for the January blurbs? - Dank (push to talk) 15:58, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
thanks for the heads-up, Dank. i am admittedly falling a bit behind with my copyedits, so it might take me a few days to get around to completing one for the replacement blurb. offhand, though, i am worried about the copyright status of the image. although the photographer may have released the photo under cc by-sa 3.0, i am assuming that the model has not been released under a similar license. is this not the case?
also, i think the practice of using the monthly archive talk pages to raise issues regarding blurbs is going well, and was planning to do the same for january, if you also think it's a good idea. if you'd like, i can post my questions here first if i have more than two for a blurb, as you previously requested. (i haven't done the same for the other months as the other tfa coordinators haven't made a similar request.) of course, if you have any other suggestions, feel free to let me know. dying (talk) 07:59, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New rule: parenthetical information about the image [such as (pictured)] no longer counts toward the 1025 character limit. - Dank (push to talk) 15:41, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
thanks for letting me know, Dank. do you happen to know if the exception also covers the additional space needed to accommodate the parenthetical? (i know that dyk generally does not count the space, as noted at wp:dykmos, though wp:dykhook previously didn't mention it.) of course, it's not a big deal if you're not sure, as i don't expect to encounter the issue often anyway.
also, did you have any special requests before i get started with the january tfa archive talk page? specifically, is there anything you would like me to do with sections that have already been addressed, as discussed here? if you don't know yet how you would like to handle them (if at all), you're welcome to play around with different ideas, and i can try to follow your lead. dying (talk) 07:59, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Btw, this isn't just for January, the other coords agreed. What we're measuring is whatever is there, before (pictured) or whatever gets added. I don't have a preference on hatting or checkmarks, do whatever works for you. - Dank (push to talk) 15:45, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Dank, i just wanted to let you know that my old machine has apparently given up. thankfully, i was able to resurrect an even older machine, though it is taking me some time to get used to it, so i apologize in advance if my copyedits end up suffering in quality for a bit. dying (talk) 23:59, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
They look great to me. Btw, if I don't say anything on the TFA/January page in response to your questions, it means that on balance I think it would be better if I don't say anything, generally because I think the eventual result is going to be acceptable to most Wikipedians and I'd prefer to maintain at least a little distance and neutrality (which may come in handy when bigger issues arise). - Dank (push to talk) 04:22, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No copyright-free image available, I'm afraid. Blame Mongolia's freedom of panorama laws. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 05:06, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also can you please give some thought to archiving your talk page, dying? I think the recommended size is 75kb; this is over 450kb. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 18:45, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While I'm here talking about images ... I know Main Page folks don't want a caption as long as the one on April 1, but I'm concerned that someone may pull the image if they don't understand the relevance. Is there a better fix available here than that caption? - Dank (push to talk) 03:06, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe something like "The cathedral of the Bishop of Exeter, who condemned the Order in 1348"? - Dank (push to talk) 16:05, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Rumours (album) (the April 17 TFA): someone made a potentially problematic edit just today. Just passing this along for when you get to this one, which might be a while. - Dank (push to talk) 00:12, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

February music

your name ... - the image, taken on a cemetery last year after the funeral of a distant but dear family member, commemorates today, with thanks for their achievements, four subjects mentioned on the main page and Vami_IV, a friend here. Listen to music by Tchaikovsky (an article where one of the four is pictured), sung by today's subject (whose performance on stage I enjoyed two days ago). -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:35, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

more music and flowers on Rossini's rare birthday --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:10, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Two blurbs

I noticed that you did at least one blurb for March ... I'm wondering if you're interested in helping with two blurbs proposed for May, George Town, Penang and Mary Anning (a TFA rerun from 2012, blurb is here). No pressure if it's something you're not interested in. - Dank (push to talk) 13:10, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WT:Today's featured article/April 2024#marshfield station

"You do you", as the kids say ... feel free to make any comments you want, always. But ... also, be aware that I have to watch what I say, and minimize what I do, and be consistent, at TFA, maybe now more than ever. So: if anyone makes requests (such as at marshfield station) I have to ask myself whether I'm positive I know what's being required ... if I don't, then rather than getting into an extended back-and-forth, I have to say "show me the edits". So I'd prefer if you just make the edits you want on this one rather than talking about what's needed. For the same reasons, I prefer that we minimize the text in general at the monthly TFA pages ... but again, you do you. - Dank (push to talk) 15:58, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many of your comments this month are pinging other people to things that are relevant to previous discussions, so I should probably stay out of the those discussions this month unless it becomes clear that my input is necessary. Thanks for your great work. - Dank (push to talk) 13:10, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TFA blurbs tomorrow and the next day

Gog feels strongly about giving everyone 2 weeks to look at your work, so starting day-after-tomorrow, please move on to the May blurbs. (And if this means you don't get to some April blurbs, that's fine. This goes for all Gog's months, going forward). Today and tomorrow, any work you want to do on April blurbs would be much appreciated. - Dank (push to talk) 15:52, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

alas, it looks like my ancient machine may be on its last legs. it unexpectedly crashed as i was preparing a response to the discussion at wp:errors, which explains my delayed response. i have a mobile device, but it is cheap and about a decade old, and i can no longer log in to wikipedia with it, so if i abruptly stop editing, you'll know what happened. (by the way, "repertoire".) dying (talk) 03:59, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to hear that. Your work on April was first-rate. - Dank (push to talk) 04:19, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I understand you might not see this if you're still having internet problems, but I have to ask anyway ... do you anticipate coming back before, say, the end of June? If not, I'll ask around for help. - Dank (push to talk) 17:45, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Precious anniversary

Te extraño a ti y a tu manera de mirar las fotos. Lo que no puedes saber, con respecto a la foto que señalaste, Fliegen, es que la miré junto con un ex piloto ;) - Espero que sigas leyendo y mirando, y editando algún día. -- Gerda Arendt ( discusión ) 07:53 30 ago 2024 (UTC) [ responder ]
