Fyappiy

Hello @Thebiguglyalien. Thank you so much for reviewing Batal Hajji Belkhoroev and giving it GA status. I have another candidate for GA status, Fyappiy, which been more than a month a candidate with no review being done so I was wondering if you would be interested in reviewing it? WikiEditor1234567123 (talk) 21:49, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello @Thebiguglyalien. I'm sorry to bother you again, but I didn't get an answer. Will you consider reviewing the article? WikiEditor1234567123 (talk) 20:59, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

WikiEditor1234567123, I'm taking a break from reviewing right now after doing 40 reviews for GA drive last month. Fortunately, the drive means that there aren't as many nominations waiting, so yours should get picked up soon. And you can always reduce the backlog and get your nomination prioritized by doing some reviews of your own, if that's something you're interested in. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 21:12, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Alright. Thanks for the answer! WikiEditor1234567123 (talk) 21:27, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

New essay for you

In light of the events from seven months ago on WP:YEARS, I suggest you give this a read if International Notability ever returns: User:InvadingInvader/Against international notability InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 20:22, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

InvadingInvader, mentally filed away for the future. I think that the lessons learned from the whole WP:YEARS and international notability debacle have relevance to the project more broadly. It touches on several dispute-prone areas where best practices are unclear: event notability, trying to determine weight from primary sources, local consensus, WikiProject ownership, and Americentrism. And side note if you're interested, I've been working on fine tuning 2001 as a proper non-stub article in the GA process. The main thing being worked out now is the sourcing, which might be relevant to this. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 21:58, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

I do agree – and I'm thinking about making a similar renovation to 2022 in the US in the future. God speed! InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 01:19, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia editor's personal opinion

Hello. You've reverted me on Far-left politics and then toned down the claim that far-left and far-right politics "overlap significantly" to that they "overlap in some areas". Regardless of emphasis, this is an exceptional claim that would be best backed up with multiple sources. Have a nice day. –Vipz (talk) 13:23, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi again, I believe it is not productive to have non-content discussion on article talk pages, but wanted to address this message of yours from there: It's a massive timesink when an editor comes to a talk page with The Truth and then works backward from it, trying to find sources that justify their beliefs rather than finding the best sources and summarizing them. I sensed some of that in this discussion. This is called confirmation bias. Our entire interaction was based on me pointing out issues with sourcing and synthesis and you dismissing them because I've not provided sources for other statements ("personal opinions") I made, then when I went out to provide sources for previously posted statements, tacitly accusing me of confirmation bias. Messages towards me I feel weren't worded in the most "assume good faith" way, but that's another story. Hope to hear back, have a nice day again. –Vipz (talk) 12:32, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Personal attacks

Comments like this do nothing to bring down the temperature of the discussion and are likely to be seen as personal attacks. Such accusations are not appropriate to levy without a lick of evidence.

Furthermore, how about some self-reflection? You frequently edit in AMPOL as well, but I guess you're holier than the rest of us. ––FormalDude (talk) 00:10, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

There are plenty of AMPOL editors who don't endorse a position or make an edit just because it strengthens or weakens a conservative viewpoint or a progressive viewpoint. You can't tell which "side" of a discussion they'll be on just from political ideology. But there are also editors where no matter what the issue is, you can always bet that they'll be on a certain ideological side before even opening the discussion. If you're one of the former, then I apologize for invoking your name in this way. But when encountering the latter, I believe that failing to prevent WP:CPUSH is far more harmful than challenging it.

I've come to expect certain editors to always support the right-wing position (regardless of the merits of the argument), and I've come to expect certain editors to always be on the opposite side of the debate (regardless of the merits of the argument). Every time one of these little spats emerges, it always lines up consistently. There seems to be an unspoken agreement that we all just pretend this isn't happening, but that doesn't make it go away. Again, I hope I'm mistaken and that there aren't as many of these editors as it appears. But CPUSH does emerge from time to time, and editors who are unwilling to identify it are doing the project a disservice. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 01:23, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for the apology, because I really strive to be as neutral as possible and make PAG-based arguments. Overall I actually largely agree with you on this, but I do not think that accusing editors of POV-pushing in the manner you did is helpful. The thing is, it's extremely sensitive and labeling any experienced editor a civil POV-pusher is always going to be controversial. Such an accusation deserves a detailed report with clear evidence, and even then it rarely ends with sanctions specifically for CPUSH. It's a complex problem that the project has yet to remedy. For now the community's primary solution is to enforce strict behavioral standards for those participating in the topic area. That's why I started the report, not because of any viewpoint from the reported editor, but because of the behavior I saw from them: edit-warring, incivility, and canvassing. Some of the responses to the report are subpar, but I can't help that, and their responses are not as important as the responses of uninvolved admins anyway. ––FormalDude (talk) 02:04, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Your WP:ASPERSIONs are sanctionable; please strike the entire statement and this one as well or substantiate your allegations, which are personal attacks and inappropriate. Andre🚐 02:46, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

I have already struck the portion that mentioned you any anyone else. All that remains now is my statement is that admins should be more firm with POV pushing in situations like this. Whom do you consider that an aspersion against? I'm not referring to you in that portion. Do you feel that I am? Thebiguglyalien (talk) 03:10, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

You already referred to me; simply striking my name while leaving the message, is not a suitably strike for the allegation. Please strike the entire statement, and your response to FormalDude, or explain the POV pushing allegation with diffs. Andre🚐 03:21, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

• To the best of my knowledge, I have never edited AMPOL except perhaps two articles on mass-shootings (which were remarkably free from any POV-disputes) and one/two odd comments in RfCs/t-p discussions. I do not recall coming across your name ever, either. So, maybe explain the PA? TrangaBellam (talk) 06:49, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Invitation to Cornell study on Wikipedia discussions

Hello Thebiguglyalien,

I’m reaching out as part of a Cornell University academic study investigating the potential for user-facing tools to help improve discussion quality within Wikipedia discussion spaces (such as talk pages, noticeboards, etc.). We chose to reach out to you because you have been highly active on various discussion pages .

The study centers around a prototype tool, ConvoWizard, which is designed to warn Wikipedia editors when a discussion they are replying to is getting tense and at risk of derailing into personal attacks or incivility. More information about ConvoWizard and the study can be found at our research project page on meta-wiki.

If this sounds like it might be interesting to you, you can use this link to sign up and install ConvoWizard. Of course, if you are not interested, feel free to ignore this message.

If you have any questions or thoughts about the study, our team is happy to discuss! You may direct such comments to me or to my collaborator, Cristian_at_CornellNLP.

Thank you for your consideration.

GA feedback of Josef Hoop

Hello – Regarding your feedback on the GA nomination on Josef Hoop, I have added more secondary sources for the points in the article, but I have kept some primary sources that serve to back up the main points and connect them together (i.e. how this is relevant to Hoop and his career). So my question is, how much can I exactly get away with? Thanks. TheBritinator (talk) 13:00, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

At a glance, it definitely looks better. I'll take a closer look today or tomorrow. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 15:41, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

TheBritinator, I looked more at the sourcing, and there are still significant portions of the article sourced entirely to primary sources, often using them to make general statements. Using primary sources is more of an art than a science, but the rule of thumb is that they should be used sparingly and that you shouldn't need any outside knowledge or expertise to verify them. Anyone reading the primary source should be able to confirm that "yes, this is true" because the fact is plainly stated in the source. I gave you the main policy about primary sources, but there's a more technical write up about it at Wikipedia:Identifying and using primary sources if you're interested.

When in doubt, lean toward using books or journal articles. I searched through the Wikipedia Library (which I believe you should have access to), but I didn't have much luck. It can be difficult to find good sourcing for subjects in small, non-English speaking countries, especially when they're not from the 21st century. Primary sources are better than no sources, but they aren't quite enough for the good article process in most cases. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 14:51, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

Alright thanks, I'll see what I can do. There's a limited number of secondary sources on these things, but I can keep looking for more hidden ones. Is there anything part specifically that could do with more? TheBritinator (talk) 15:57, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

I would just look to see where entire paragraphs are sourced to primary sources. But really it comes down to a case by case basis on how exactly the source is being used. That's more important than the simple number of primary sources. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 16:08, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

So, like the diplomatic career and economic section? TheBritinator (talk) 17:09, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

Yeah. But like I said, it's more about the type of information than the sheer number of sources. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 17:19, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

Zeno of Elea

I see that earlier today you added nine new harv/sfn no-target errors to this article. They all relate to Vlastos's book, which was first published in 1995 (print version), with an eBook version published in 2022. The short-form cites all point to 1995, but the full cite in the biblio listing states 2022, hence the errors. Normally I would fix these no-target errors myself, but I can't tell which version you used for your editing. See Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors. --NSH001 (talk) 19:35, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, I hadn't even noticed! I think I've fixed it now. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 19:39, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

DYK for Mandate (politics)

On 19 October 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Mandate (politics), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that no single political party has a mandate in a coalition government? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mandate (politics). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Mandate (politics)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

Practicalities

About this comment on merging articles: I have, for many years, encouraged editors to weed the {{linkfarm}}. It's not unusual for one editor to remove some Wikipedia:External links at dozens of articles, and then get reverted at one or two. And my advice is: Move on. Specifically, in the time it takes to even start a discussion, the original editor could clean out links in another 10 articles. Even if they "win" the discussion, the opportunity cost (10 missed articles) was higher than the "win" at a single article could possibly be.

I suggest that this might be relevant for merging stubs. If someone objects, then just move on. Keep the event in your list and add a {{Main}} template. It's very likely that you can accomplish more good by merging up undisputed articles than by talking about the occasional disputed one. WhatamIdoing (talk) 02:53, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

WhatamIdoing, that's a good point, and I generally agree that one merged article is better than a bunch of stubs. It's just that the whole process feels a little self-defeating. Regardless of where the short or non-notable content ends up, it still needs to either be cleaned up or deleted, and there doesn't seem to be much will to do either. Then we're just left with a long list of random events, many of which probably don't need to be on Wikipedia at all. This is all compounded by the fact that the same editors are going to keep churning out more primary sourced content because they can. Merging is good for quickly reducing the number of permastubs, but the underlying problems still go unaddressed, which is discouraging when you're actually in the middle of doing the merges. Maybe I'm being unrealistic, but I'm hoping for a more definitive resolution to these issues, which is why I initially proposed an RfC. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 20:24, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Sensible merging shouldn't result in a list of truly random events. It might result in a list of events that is WP:IMPERFECT (which we officially accept) and that make some editors think WP:WEDONTNEEDIT (which is generally invalid thinking), but that's better than what we've got now. Also, if we do enough of it, then people will get used to it, and they'll sometimes spam the new flood(s) into Floods in California, and the new fatal fire(s) into Fatal fires in Egypt, and then they'll stop creating (quite) so many separate articles. It may be a long row to hoe, but it's possible to reach that end point. WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:58, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Revamping 11th Millennium BC.

Because I have not done anything to this page in a long time, I will revamp it due to me knowing more knowledge about citations and knowing what is credible (reliable) or not. While I was looking at the 10th millennium BC for reference, I noticed that some of the information there talks about dates that are even earlier than the 10th millennium BC probably because at the time The Great Shaker thought that the 11th millennium BC or earlier millennium pages will never exist which has been proven wrong. This makes me a bit confused because it would be a bit weird for the 11th millennium BC to talk specifically about dates from 11,000 BC to 10,001 BC while 10th millennium BC talks about events that are earlier as well. Because of this, I'm not sure what to do right now, but I just want to see your thoughts about this since you helped me a bit while I was working on that page a year ago. FerdinandLovesLegos (talk) 20:38, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

FerdinandLovesLegos, it's generally okay for an article to speak broadly about things as long as its in the context of that topic. For example, if you're writing that the Younger Dryas ended in a particular millennium, it's fine to write a sentence about how it had started or what it was so the reader understands the significance, even if that gets into other millennia. It's also okay for a little overlap between articles. I would just worry about finding sources that describe the 11th millennium BC and getting everything they say into the article. Everything else, like sorting out what goes where, can come later. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 21:11, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Alright. Thanks for letting me know! FerdinandLovesLegos (talk) 21:16, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
