POWER10 ref

Greetings! I love your reference addition on the POWER10 page. I don't have access to such publications. But I surely would love to read some.. Can I pretty please? -- Henriok (talk) 17:35, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Erm thanks, but it was just a Google search that found it (as they've indexed it). A quick search for the title gives a free download here [1] . Enjoy. Widefox; talk 20:42, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

WPDOGS

Hello. Please do not change the importance of WPDOGS articles on the talk page unless you are a member of said project and are referencing the project's assessment criteria Wikipedia:WikiProject Dogs/Assessment - we have it covered. William Harris (talk) 09:59, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

User:William Harris which article? If I did a bad job, I may agree it's a bad edit, but until I know what you're talking about I'm none the wiser. Have you made such a request to other editors? Please read the guideline WP:ASSESS#Assessing articles "...anyone can add or change an article's rating..." Widefox; talk 22:40, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
No, its not a "bad edit" to Rabies virus, and yes I do advise other editors. The assessment policy (above) relates to class=, and not importance=. WPDOGS has its own importance scale, which we use to prioritise our articles for actions, as below:
Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide#Tagging pages with WikiProject banners: "Many WikiProjects use talk page banners to mark certain pages as within the scope of the WikiProject. This helps the WikiProjects to organize their progress improving pages within the project's scope......Consequently, pages should only be marked with WikiProject banners for projects that intend to support the tagged pages."
Regards William Harris (talk) 03:04, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
Thanks, now I know what edit you're talking about (my advice is always include an edit link or at least the article name when talking about other editor's edits), and yes I'm aware a talk page edit is not an article edit. It isn't a "policy" but a guideline, and with that in mind, I'm sure you've seen that the article was originally assessed by a non WPDOGS member [2]. I guess my 9 month old edit [3] was about the disparity between WPdogs and WPcats, which now seems to be correct per the scales, seems I corrected in the wrong direction on further inspection. I would personally encourage non project members to edit, the exact opposite of your advice, despite you having to correct that rating twice, partly as there was clearly an issue with the ratings, but more importantly... to foster the bigger picture of collaboration with this being, you know what, a wiki that can be changed by anyone.

You are free to edit the content of Talk:Hodl during the discussion but should not remove the miscellany for deletion template from the top of the page; such a removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 14:37, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Evaluation of complex analysis

I support with the quality scale, but do you have any opinions about the priority scale? I was not able to evaluate the priority scale because I was told at the help desk that Vital articles and maths ratings are different criteria, so I decided to listen to them instead of immediately evaluating them based on Vital articles. If you don't have an opinion, I would like to gather opinions by WikiProject mathematics.(I mean, I can't decide.) Thank you for improving the complex analysis article.--SilverMatsu (talk) 15:54, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

No opinion - the automated rater removed it, so I didn't even see it had changed it. I'm guessing that's correct, else it should be fixed. Widefox; talk 19:35, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for your reply.--SilverMatsu (talk) 15:36, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Dab abbreviations project

Hi! Remember this discussion? It partly concerned one editor who was in the habit of mechanically removing any acronyms from dab pages that didn't happen to be mentioned in the linked articles. I was left with the impression that there was going to be a project to review those edits and add back inappropriately removed dab entries. Has there been any progress on that? I've had a quick look, and there were just over 1,000 such edits in the past two years. In the small sample I've examined, there were a lot of entries that should probably be added back. – Uanfala (talk) 13:53, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi! I've just re-lived the discussion. I don't remember any project, but the thought of validating n abbreviations on 1000 dab pages is something. It may be useful to bring up the subject again if it's still ongoing, to attempt to reach consensus on the edits. Widefox; talk 18:54, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
Yeah, that would be a massive undertaking. I'll bring it up on the project talk page at some point, though before that I think there'd need to be a good re-evaluation of the existing guidelines in WP:DABABBREV (its fundamental assumption, for example, is that articles will necessarily mention any acronyms – but that's often not seen in practice, and there doesn't seem to be anything requiring it). – Uanfala (talk) 21:19, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
Yup, as I detailed on that page, in practice I suspect that users land on the dabs and add missing initialisms there, job done as far as they are concerned and they can then navigate on to their articles. Article editors may be unaware of the abbreviations. The freedom to navigate to articles outways the freedom from obscure (not not incorrect) initialisms in the spirit of disambiguation being about navigation only. To satisfy WP:V and keep editorial control where it should be at the article, a reference on the talk of the article would be suffice IMHO, where consensus could be reached for invalidation and would make checking validity on the dabs quicker when dab editors periodically clean dabs.

(Long) overdue apology

Hey Widefox,

Checking through some of "my" old articles and stumbled across an old GAR on Velites from more than six years ago, which you initiated; not sure if you remember it at all, but I wanted to apologize nonetheless. It was my first such experience, and I reacted very poorly, feeling as if you were personally attacking me and trying to "destroy my article" and "take away my achievements"; in all the ways that only a 15-year-old can feel, I suppose. Neither my age nor inexperience justifies how I acted though, so I wanted to apologize for that, even if it's long overdue by now. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 00:25, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Removal of tags on Oberon-2 article

Hi,

Removed your tags from the Oberon-2 article which date back to over 10 years ago. They were arguably no longer relevant, but you may disagree. If so, perhaps you may want to create a discussion on Oberon-2's talk to discuss specifics on the need for any new tags. Thank you for your consideration in advance. Wukuendo (talk) 20:57, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

I replied on your page. I suggest if you want further discussion, to have that on the article's talk. Regards, Widefox; talk 23:06, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
Upon thinking about it, though I'm a fan of Oberon-2, it would probably better for me to excuse myself. Thus leave it to yourself and the other more experienced editors who have been involved with the article for years, and should be invested in its quality. This will likely be a better way to avoid conflict. Yourself and the others can lead and conduct the discussion on its talk page as you see fit and spearhead the effort to resolve the issues, so that the tags can one day be removed. Thank you for your time and service.Wukuendo (talk) 02:17, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
Recuse because...you have a WP:COI ? Widefox; talk 12:07, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
To excuse oneself is a polite English term for leaving or (as in this case) to refrain from getting involved any further. I have no COI regarding Oberon-2 or any parties connected to it. I'm not sure where this is coming from or going, but letting you know that is the case. Do not want to entertain any conflicts about the issue. It was my personal assessment that you wanted to keep such tags above the Oberon-2 article, despite the years they have existed. As mentioned, I thought it better for yourself and those more invested in the Oberon-2 article (with years of making contributions to it) to resolve the related issues to get the tags removed.Wukuendo (talk) 21:06, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Rollback attack (disambiguation)

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

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

A tag has been placed on Rollback attack (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
  • disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
  • is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Speedy deletion nomination of Podman

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

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

A tag has been placed on Podman requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://github.com/containers/podman. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
