Grace Park

Hi, I've got a question on this edit, removing the statement of the birth name "Jee Un Park". To the extent you are permitted, can you disclose what was in the OTRS ticket? The birth name that was removed is supported by the cited source Gale Biography in Context; which is generally regarded as reliable. If it's not reliable, that's something I'd like to know. Although I'm the editor who added the birth name based on that source, I'm much more interested in having the article correct than including the name. TJRC (talk) 01:04, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi there, TJRC. The ticket is from Park herself and within it she says she has no idea where the error has come from but that it has been replicated in numerous places. In this case I felt it was better to defer to the person herself - I don't know where Gale lies on this, but myself and a fellow admin have had a look at the source and you're right, it does use the Korean name. I'm honestly not sure what the best course of action here is; Wikipedia tends to prefer to repeat sources, but in this case it looks like the source is false. Strange one... — foxj 02:14, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the follow-up. I'll be a little more skeptical of Gale in the future. TJRC (talk) 02:20, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Miles Jacobson, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Barbican (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

  • Our final round of hand-coding is complete, and the results can be found here; thanks to everyone who took part!
  • We've made test deployments to the German and French-language projects; if you are aware of any other projects that might like to test out or use the tool, please let me know :).

Err, Foxj? Do you really think you should be doing major article renovations while the article is fully-protected for edit warring? That's generally considered very much not kosher. — Coren (talk) 16:03, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

To restate what I said on IRC: What a load of bullshit. — foxj 16:06, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
Perhaps, but it's generally agreed-upon bullshit. That said, I think your changes were sane, but they need to be discussed on the talk page. — Coren (talk) 16:27, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
I'm not interested in having to get my changes screened potentially by conflicted sockpuppets, thanks. — foxj 16:34, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Discussion on the AFT5 Request for Comment

Hey Fox - this is to notify you that there is a discussion starting on the Article Feedback RfC talkpage that has ramifications for the RfC itself. Your input is much appreciated :). Thanks! and apologies if I've missed anyone Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 16:39, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
