Move

I want to move to include items in said Harrisburg, PA article that do not include those entries with Wikipedia articles, unless you more clearly communicate what your side is.Bdavid1111 (talk) 18:33, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

@Bdavid1111: My "side" is that people who do not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines do not belong in lists of notable people in other articles, including Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Read the message I left on your Talk page, and the various policies found at links at the top of this page. Is there anything unclear about this communication? General Ization Talk 00:17, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
Also, as I advised you, Ben Foshager has been determined not to meet those guidelines. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ben Foshager. General Ization Talk 00:19, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
I also strongly suspect that you are Ben (Ben D) Foshager. Consequently, please read WP:COI and WP:AUTO. General Ization Talk 00:22, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Apology

I'm afraid I have ruined your clean block log. I meant to block User:CharlesGallon, who you reverted at AN/TPS-43, but I clicked the wrong link and ended up blocking you instead. Of course I immediately unblocked as soon as I realized it, but your formerly empty block log is now blemished by my mistake. I'm sorry. -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:03, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

@Edgar181: Ah, well, it was bound to happen eventually. Such is the life of a rollbacker. Thanks for the heads-up and the explanation. General Ization Talk 00:16, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors September 2016 News

Guild of Copy Editors September 2016 News

Hello everyone, and welcome to the September 2016 GOCE newsletter.

>>> Sign up for the September Drive, already in progress! <<<

July Drive: The July drive was a roaring success. We set out to remove April, May, and June 2015 from our backlog (our 149 oldest articles), and by 23 July, we were done with those months. We added July 2015 (66 articles) and copy-edited 37 of those. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from June 2016. Well done! Overall, we recorded copy edits to 240 articles by 20 editors, reducing our total backlog to 13 months and 1,656 articles, the second-lowest month-end total ever.

August Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 21 through 27 August; the theme was sports-related articles in honor of the 2016 Summer Olympics. Of the eight editors who signed up, five editors removed 11 articles from the backlog. A quiet blitz – everyone must be on vacation. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all editors who took part.

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Jonesey95, Corinne and Tdlsk.

Ecstasy (film)

Hello
Original name is "Extase" (old czech spelling). The new one is "Extáze". The spelling "Ekstase" doesn't exist.
See https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extase_(film)
Zedzed — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zedzed (talk • contribs) 19:41, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

@Zedzed: I can cite numerous references that show the original film title used a spelling of Ekstase, which is described as German. You cited no references for your changes. It doesn't matter whether the spelling "exists" in any other form if that's the spelling the director/studio used, and it appears that it is. Unless you cite references, do not make this change or I will warn you again, and if you persist you may be blocked from editing. General Ization Talk 20:34, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

De La Salle Collegiate revert

Hello General... I am not as veteran as you as an editor. Was simply correcting the official name of De La Salle Collegiate. The words "high school" are redundant. I refer you to De La Salle Institute in Chicago and St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute in Tonawanda, NY. Both are high schools. Neither uses high school in the school's official name. Just thought Wikipedia should be accurate. Thanks. OneRing21 (talk) 01:46, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

The school can style itself any way it likes, but it is a high school and the name under which it is accredited is De La Salle Collegiate High School. General Ization Talk 01:51, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
By the way; the word "institute" is a noun. The word "collegiate" is an adjective, one that in this case refers to the noun "high school", whether stated or implied. General Ization Talk 02:20, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Want to help test advanced new tools planned for Recent Changes?

Hi General Ization! I’m reaching out to you because our logs tell us you’re a very active Twinkle user (top 25, actually!). The WMF Collaboration team is working on new tools that we hope will be useful to people engaged in reviewing recent changes, fighting vandalism or supporting new users. We want to test them for usability with editors who are experienced with relevant wiki work. If you’re interested in helping to shape this new technology—we’d like to hear from you.

The testing should take about an hour, will be conducted online, and will take place during the next few weeks. To participate, please email dchen[at]wikimedia.org with the subject line Twinkle User. Include the following information:

  • Username
  • Email where we can reach you
  • Your city or time zone
  • Best time to talk to you
  • Your primary use of Twinkle or Recent Changes (e.g., reviewing recent changes, reviewing with a particular focus (specify), anti-vandalism, new-page review, welcoming new users, etc.)

Thanks! Dchen (WMF) (talk) 18:03, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

force awakens edits

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I'm confused about the deletion of my edits and the need for citation. The edits I made come from the movie itself. You can clearly see her relation to Darth Sidious based on the way she fights with a lightsaber, her accent not being changed, and her use of the dark side. It would be similar to describing the plot of the movie itself. Iamtheknowledge (talk) 01:09, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

@Iamtheknowledge: That is your interpretation of what you saw in the movie. There may be other interpretations, and the fact that there are "fan theories" to that effect (per the link you cited in your edit summary, but not inline with your added content) does not permit us to state it as canon in the Cast section of the article, as you have attempted to do. "Fan theories" have been known to be inconsistent in the past with what the writers of a screenplay intended. General Ization Talk 01:15, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

3RR

I realize that you are passionate about articles but try not to revert every single edit you disagree with from any source, and AGF. You seem to be violating the 3RR rule based on some of your reverts. Thanks.  :-) 166.70.60.63 (talk) 04:58, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

I am not reverting every edit I disagree with, and you have no reason to assume I am failing to assume good faith (and you are apparently failing to give me the same courtesy). Your edit wasn't constructive, in that it was unnecessary (obviously the arrest was of an alleged perpetrator, that would be the only reason for an arrest) and also was in title case rather than in sentence case as expected of headings. Please read WP:3RR before you start throwing around accusations, as otherwise you may find yourself on the wrong side of an argument. Thanks. General Ization Talk 05:03, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
Well these type of discussions are certainly constructive and belong on the articles talk page since they help foster mutual understanding, which is a very good thing. Perhaps you may want to take the time to talk to any other interested editors about some of your views by posting some of these issues on the article talk page. :-) 166.70.60.63 (talk) 05:13, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
Specifically which edits are you suggesting would be better discussed on the Talk page? And what views are you referring to, since you seem to have inferred that I have some POV? General Ization Talk 05:15, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
Why, your views about the perpetrator of the shooting of course, and all available information. BLP is of course a very serious matter and making certain the article is factual and well sourced is certainly a good thing and " ... I am not reverting every edit I disagree with, and you have no reason to assume I am failing to assume good faith (and you are apparently failing to give me the same courtesy). Your edit wasn't constructive ... is not assuming good faith. 166.70.60.63 (talk) 05:19, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
Perhaps you should consider this: the repeated assertion that a person is a Muslim without citation of a reliable source for that information is a violation of WP:BLP. "Contentious material about living persons ... that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion." Other than my revert of your edit (and another that effectively declared the case solved before the suspect has even been charged), this is the only content that I have reverted, and is the only content I have reverted more than once. General Ization Talk 05:23, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
My statement that your edit was not constructive doesn't mean I assume you made it in bad faith. It simply means (as I said) that I felt it was unnecessary because it restated the obvious and was (as it happens) improperly formatted. General Ization Talk 05:23, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

Please review the last couple edits at Ariana Grande by a mutual friend of ours, Luk.... Feel free to also add to the Talk page discussion about it. Please let me know if you need me to review anything of yours. -- Ssilvers (talk) 22:25, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

Hey

Please be careful when you call things "vandalism". When a new contributor's article is PRODded, and then he removes it and adds a note about how there's no need to tag his article for deletion, that's not vandalism. Misguided, yes, but hardly vandalism. And calling it "vandalism" can lead to hurt feelings. DS (talk) 04:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

@DragonflySixtyseven: Thanks for the feedback, but it'd be helpful when you critique another editor's performance if you'd include a diff so they know what the devil you're talking about. As it is, I have none. General Ization Talk 12:12, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
I've reviewed my warning at Arbiritrary's Talk page and the editor's surviving edits, e.g., this and this and their edit filter log, and I stand by my warning to that editor who was engaged in a pattern of unconstructive editing and vandalism. I'm frankly not too worried if my warning upset them; their vandalism upsets me. General Ization Talk 12:18, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
Edits to three articles. Two nonconstructive, one constructive -- and that's the one on which you criticized them for vandalism. (And I can't point it to you precisely because it's been deleted!) Just be a bit more careful. DS (talk) 13:26, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

none of your edit guidelines apply to the edit that you reverted, please be more specific

As noted in my edit to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterloo,_Ontario, I updated the name of the company after acquisition. Clearly your comment when you reverted the edit was inaccurate. Please either revert your reversion, or provide an accurate and valid objection to my edit.

Lwinger (talk) 17:48, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

@Lwinger: Look at your edit and tell me again how it is that you claim that all you were doing was updating a company name. Your edit removed over 25k of article content, replacing it with a non-existent template and copyrighted content from this site. I will most certainly not revert my reversion, and if you perform a similar edit in the future you will find it is also reverted. General Ization Talk 18:11, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

Ok, sorry, thanks for your help, I don't understand how that happened, or where the version of the page that I was editing came from in the first place. The only edit that I made was to change "Magnum Semiconductor" to "GigPeak", but somehow I cannot even find the original page that I was editing in the history of the article. Sorry.

Hey General Ization, I saw you deleted what i wrote on the the article of Roxanne Shante (In hindsight I understand, I wasnt careful enough in using my own words), but I am confused, as it appears, you have put it back on?! I was just wondering wether my edits were ok or not, so I can do it better next time. Thanks a lot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ponylakritz (talk • contribs) 16:45, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

@Ponylakritz: I initially thought you had copied the entire addition verbatim from AllMusic, and I certainly found a few direct matches and close paraphrasing, but on further review it appeared that you had at least attempted to make the text your own and that there were multiple sources for your added information. So I reverted my removal. If you could put a little more work into the copy to make sure it isn't mistaken by others for a copyright violation, that would be a good thing.

Walt Disney

Hi,

My edits to the Walt Disney page were common knowledge. I added to the page something along the lines of this in the beginning synopsis of the article. "Some of the things he is known for is Mickey Mouse along with the first full-length animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". How is this not allowed? It is common knowledge that Walt created Mickey Mouse and he, along with his studio, created the animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. This was simply giving people who are trying to learn about him a few examples of his greatest work and in my opinion furthers the article. So please tell me what was wrong with that. 19disneyland55 (talk) 18:18, 5 November 2016 (UTC) 19Disneyland55, November 5, 2016.

@19disneyland55: What you actually added was "Today he is known as possibly the greatest entertainer of all time. This can be seen through how the movies and characters he created, most notably Mickey Mouse, are recognized and cherished by people all over the world." Known by whom? This is not a statement of fact, but an opinion. It doesn't matter whether others may share your opinion. This or any other statement that something is "the greatest" or "is recognized and cherished by people all over the world", without a cited source, is unverifiable and is what is called original research on Wikipedia, and is not permitted. See also Puffery. You then followed with "Today, the company he founded, now known as the Walt Disney Company, continues what he started as has grown to be the largest media conglomerate in the world." Once again, this is a statement that requires citation, as it is an assertion regarding the superiority and/or relative size of a company which is not "common knowledge" (in fact, it is demonstrably false – Comcast is #1 in terms of revenue; see also Media conglomerates) and should not be assumed to be correct without documentation that supports it. Walt Disney's notability for the creation of Mickey Mouse and SW&SD is already very well documented in the article, and does not require that you point it out in the lead. Perhaps most importantly, when your edits are challenged by another editor, you should attempt to discuss them either on their Talk page, your Talk page or the article's Talk page, not persistently make the same or similar changes, even if you think your changes are fine. Doing so is called edit warring and can result in your being blocked from editing. Please let me know if you have other questions. General Ization Talk 21:40, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
In addition, this statement already appears at the end of the lead: "Nevertheless, Disney is considered an international cultural icon, particularly in the United States, where the company he co-founded exists today as one of the world's largest and best-known entertainment companies" (with a link to an article that contains citations for the latter claim). Your addition to the lead was completely redundant with the the existing contents of the lead, and hence unnecessary. General Ization Talk 21:51, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
For starters, it was a typo. I meant to put "one of the largest media conglomerates in the world". I know Comcast is the largest. Second off, the lead should probably mention that he created Mickey Mouse and the first full length animated feature, considering these were his most important achievements and pretty essential information. Far more important than the number of academy awards he has, which seems to be what you have up for the lead. Thirdly, all of what I put down is common knowledge, with taking in account the typo I made. Common knowledge does not need to be cited in books, academic and research papers, etc. Everyone knows Walt Disney was responsible for Snow White and the seven dwarfs and Mickey Mouse. Therefore, it's common knowledge. Everyone knows that Disney is one of the largest media conglomerates in the world, therefore its common knowledge, and it is pretty well known that Walt Disney is one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Look at the company that's been built around his work. So therefore, once again, common knowledge and really not even opinion. Also, how did you get jurisdiction over this page and why does Wikipedia give you all this power? What do you know about Walt Disney that allows you to make decisions regarding the page? Plus, if you look at the other stuff on your talk page, you are so rude and harsh and nasty to others. Maybe you should try being nice for a change. 19disneyland55 (talk) 01:37, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
@19disneyland55: You asked me to explain why your edits were reverted, and I have done so. If the edits are repeated, and if they continue to violate Wikipedia's policies concerning verifiability and original research, they will be reverted again. It isn't what I know about Walt Disney that qualifies me to make these decisions; it's what I know, as a 10+ year editor and a rollbacker, about Wikipedia's policies, which are published and available here and at multiple links within my response above for you to review. It will probably save us both a great deal of time if you will do so. General Ization Talk 01:56, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
@19disneyland55: Between the stunt with the self-awarded barnstars and the sockpuppetry, I assume this is the end of our discusssion. Good luck. General Ization Talk 18:32, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

See WP:BURDEN. Please stop adding unsourced content to articles here. General Ization Talk 16:53, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

There was a sorced article there and you cleared it off, but there is no reason as to why 120.147.37.23 (talk) 16:57, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

You mean this removal? That wasn't me, but the reverting editor did indeed provide the reason in the summary, and I agree with them that this is not a reliable source. Without a reliable source, the statement cannot be added. General Ization Talk 17:01, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

So you want me to find another reliable source is that right? 120.147.37.23 (talk) 17:05, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

I want you to not add content that is not reliably sourced. General Ization Talk 17:07, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

That's if I try to make sure I know it's okay with it, because if I try to add a unreliable article, I might get in that bath with hot sause 120.147.37.23 (talk) 17:14, 27 November 2016 (UTC) I don't want to make a mess if you're trying to hubris with me 120.147.37.23 (talk) 17:30, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

List of drug-related deaths

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

The drug Emetine poisoned her heart so it could be drug related — Preceding unsigned comment added by Forrest Lesak (talk • contribs) 23:23, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

@Forrest Lesak: Your theory that Karen Carpenter's death "could be" drug related is not enough. A source that says that emetine is a drug or that it can kill does not mean or say that it killed Karen Carpenter. Theories that are unsourced are called original research here and are not permitted. Given that the medical examiner ruled that Carpenter's death was not drug-related, your claim that it is defies existing sourced content, and therefore her death will not be listed at List of drug-related deaths. None of this is news to you as we have been discussing this since at least May 2016. If you continue to add it despite this explanation, it will be treated as disruptive editing and you will likely be blocked from editing. General Ization Talk 00:07, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Maybe the results that i put down isnt enough to cause death but still it may or may not be soft of drug related as i read in an article — Preceding unsigned comment added by Forrest Lesak (talk • contribs) 05:09, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

@Forrest Lesak: Once again, "may or may not" is completely useless in the context of an encyclopedic article. We do not deal in possibilities but in facts, as reported by reliable sources. Please drop the stick. General Ization Talk 05:12, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

900 seconds

Hi, the SKY News source quotes Hamilton as saying "15 minutes", and so does The Guardian, two sources I find much more reliable than the tabloid Express. That's why I went for the "15 minutes". (Also, as an aside, the correct phrase is "15 minutes of fame" so it's a bit unlikely that an Englishman would say "quarter of an hour of fame".) Cheers, Yintan  15:39, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

@Yintan: The "quarter of an hour" quote appears in The Telegraph. I don't think you can predict the phrasing used by an Englishman who had been living in France for more than 50 years. The idiom is indeed "15 minutes of fame", but he may well have used "quarter of an hour" for dramatic effect. We cannot say what is a "correct" quote unless we follow reliable sources that report the quote, and I'd say the Telegraph trumps SKY News. General Ization Talk 15:46, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
The Guardian says "15 minutes" too. Does my newspaper beat up your newspaper? Yintan  15:48, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard

@General_Ization Just to let you know I applied for a Dispute Resolution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard Taesulkim (talk) 20:59, 9 November 2016 (UTC)


@General_Ization Can you please leave some feedback on the Talk page, if you agree to display either www.unem.edu.pl (As listed on UNESCO WHED) or www.universidad-empresarial.ac.cr since none is either agree or disagree in the talk page. Also notice the Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/PolandMEC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/PolandMEC as been concluded. Sorry for any wrong approach. I do not intend to be unpolite. Taesulkim (talk) 20:56, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Please note that the SPI has not been concluded. The CU's research is only one step in a sockpuppet investigation. In this case, because of the age of and lack of any recent usage by the other accounts, the CU's results are inconclusive. An admin will evaluate the edits, usage history and other evidence and will determine what if any action will be taken. General Ization Talk 21:35, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

–Reversion of my edit to article on Christina Ricci

Thanks, General Ization, for notification of reversion. I was concerned that your reversion would restore what was previously displaying on my screen (both desktop and mobile), i.e. an incorrect hyphen joining the last word of one clause to the first word of the next clause, thus creating the incorrect and impossible compound word "hits-to" and ruining the sense of the whole sentence. That is what I had tried to correct.

In fact your "reversion" has left the article as I intended it in the first place, with an n-dash between spaces rather than a hyphen. I'm not sure why your method (–, created with & + ndash + ;) is better than my method ( – ), and I don't know why your method didn't work first time round (which I can assure you it didn't), before I edited the article, but at least it now works – which is obviously what we both want. (I just put in that n-dash my way. Is this bad practice?)

So I promise I wasn't vandalizing or doing anything untoward!

Thanks again, and take care.

What?

"Please use the encyclopedic voice when editing Wikipedia. The encyclopedia does not exclaim "At long last" about the Cubs' championship. We report facts here, not opinions."

How is that an opinion? They had not won in 108 years. It most certainly is "At long last." By those standards, "The Idiots" ought to be removed from the history section of the Boston Red Sox article that talks about the 2004 team. NBA2030 (talk) 21:54, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

@NBA2030: As you're no doubt well aware, the use of "The Idiots" to refer to the Boston Red Sox has nothing to do with Wikipedia (and is well explained in the article). "At long last" is an exclamation that something is overdue. That is an opinion; one that many Cubs fans may agree with, but nevertheless an opinion. My advice to you stands. General Ization Talk 21:59, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
My apologies. I won't change the title anymore. NBA2030 (talk) 22:08, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

United States presidential election, 2016

Elected President is used in all the other United States presidential election, Year articles. Why make 2016 different? GoodDay (talk) 03:34, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

@GoodDay: See President-elect of the United States. I can't account for those other articles, but the correct title for someone elected to be POTUS who has not yet taken office is President-elect. They cease being President-elect and become President when they are inaugurated. "Elected President" is what every President becomes, at any time after their election, both before and after they take office. It does not express the temporary nature of the office and their very limited powers prior to inauguration. General Ization Talk 03:43, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
@GoodDay: Also see Twentieth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which uses the term (which has since come to be written with a hyphen), and 18 U.S. Code § 3056 - Powers, authorities, and duties of United States Secret Service for an example of how the President-elect is referred to in Federal regulations. General Ization Talk 03:54, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
The idea of the infobox is to show who got elected President. Not to place a 'title' on them. Anyways, I have a discussion about this at the article talkpage. GoodDay (talk) 03:59, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
@GoodDay:The idea of the posttitle field (which is the field at issue) of Infobox election is "Title of the victor of the election (President-elect, Prime Minister-designate...), only if different than before." per Template:Infobox election. Please note the examples given. General Ization Talk 04:02, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
That's not how we've got it done at United States presidential election, 2012, United States presidential election, 2008, etc etc. We need consistency. GoodDay (talk) 04:04, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
@GoodDay: Yes, and it is possible to be consistently wrong; that doesn't make it right. You have others telling you the same thing on the article's Talk page. General Ization Talk 04:07, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
If you check the infoboxes of the elected senators, governors etc etc. You'll notice that they use Elected Senator & Elected Governor etc, instead of Senator-elect & Governor-elect. GoodDay (talk) 04:10, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
Please see Talk:United States presidential election, 2016#Infobox: Elected President or President-elect?. It is silly for us to debate this in two places simultaneously. General Ization Talk 04:17, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

You are at 4RR right now on that article, where you should not be edit-warring at all (you also claim to be well aware of WP:BLP). Would you like to self-revert? I am sure your intentions are good, so it would seem unproductive for the encyclopedia, not to give you a chance to do so. MPS1992 (talk) 23:44, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

No, I think I'll take my chances that a WP:BOOMERANG is an extremely likely outcome at WP:AN3. General Ization Talk 23:47, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
