Have patience -Conchi León

You tagged that article as an orphan within minutes of it being created. I hadn't even finished creating it entirely. It is not an orphan. Give people a chance before tagging something like this! ☕ Antiqueight chatter 09:03, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

@Antiqueight: Sorry about it. I suggest you to add "Template:In use", so this won't happen again. I wish you a nice day. --Mazewaxie (talk • contribs) 09:04, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
I literally came back to it from linking it to other pages to find you had it tagged. Check the time stamp on a page before you tag it. It was clear the page was less than a few minutes old. The gap between it being created and being deorphaned was the length of time it took to add the links to the other pages. You can scare off new users by tagging them too quicky. ☕ Antiqueight chatter 09:10, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
@Antiqueight: Got it. I will be more careful from now on. Thanks for pointing it out. --Mazewaxie (talk • contribs) 09:12, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Regarding "discussion" on Irishman

Hey there, I took the time to read the whole discussion. As a consensus does indeed seem to have been reached, all I'd like to say is kudos to you for your restraint in your reactions. Cheers! SassyCollins (talk) 10:45, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Non-ascii apostrophes in URLs should be protected, not MOSed :)

hi Mazewaxie, in this edit you replaced a non-ascii apostrophe in a URL by an ascii apostrophe, invalidating the URL. To find out how to correctly replace non-ascii characters in a URL, on a GNU/Linux family system you can use 

 od -x --endian=big

and type the non-ascii character several times and enter a few times and then look at the hexadecimal codes. You can check the result with 

 urlencode -d something.com/it%80%99%e2s%20an%20apostrophe

for example (debian package for urlencode: 'gridsite-clients'), since %80%99%e2 (often capitalised) is the code for that non-ascii apostrophe. In this case I fixed this already.

If you're using a hand-guided bot, then you can either do this automatically, or exclude URLs. (It's a bad idea for a website to include these sort of characters in its URLs, but we have to deal with that rather than use URLs that fail.) Boud (talk) 15:28, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

@Boud: Thanks for the tip. I wish you a nice day :) --Mazewaxie (talk • contribs) 16:36, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
You're welcome :). I just noticed that my example was not so useful - it should be %e2%80%99 for the non-ascii apostrophe, not %80%99%e2. Boud (talk) 18:28, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi Mazewaxie. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Beeblebrox (talk) 18:08, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Beeblebrox, thank you. I wish you a nice day! Mazewaxie (talk • contribs) 18:14, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing my typo

Thanks for fixing my typo in the 1879 Mudgee by-election - it annoys me that for some reason wikipedia has turned off spell checking in the edit screen. You edit prompted me to check & fix some related pages where I had copied and pasted the same error. It's no big deal but I thought you might like to know that while your AWB assisted edit corrected one "Qualficiations", it left a second in the reference.

Well, I admit it was rather difficult to recognize. Now you know the peculiarity of {{ill}} (and other interlanguage templates). Now that we are at this, when you edit a wikilink, you have to make sure that (a) there is a redirect in place for a bluelink and (b) fix wikilinks to the edited redlink (I've done this in our case.

Thank You for the Thank You!

I just wanted to say thank you for leaving a thank you in my "Your notices" sections for my edit and upload of the book cover for I Heard You Paint Houses. I mentioned in the file that I'm not sure if that is the first edition hardcover image. Also, there are a lot of releases for the book, with different covers. For example one cover features a picture of Jimmy Hoffa and Frank Sheeran together [1] [2] w:zh:I Heard You Paint Houses. Anyway, I don't know how to leave one like that to you, so I thought I'd show my gratitude by saying "Thank you" here. I really appreciate it. So, anyway, thank you, Mazewaxie! PeaceShield5 (talk) 08:43, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

Screen & Radio Weekly

The rational, which I had not yet explained, for including the cover identities was set-up a form of identifying various issues for future citations (the publications have no volume nos. or issue nos. or mastheads, only dates). The actual issues, on some occasions, differ among newspapers (e.g. two newspapers, on the same date, might have different covers). Right now, the main purpose of the article is to identify the publisher and, if possible, develop the identities of its contributors. As of the inclusion of cover identies, I don't harbor strong feelings; and, unless someone can adequately delineate a need for cover identities, the omissions remain (perhaps the cover identities would be useful on the talk page). – Eurodog ([[User https://www.jstor.org/stable/40297475 bibliografía - Jstor {{Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).}}:Eurodog|talk]]) 14:25, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

@Bbaultra: Hi. The changes you made are completely unsourced, and adding "(great man)" near a name is totally inappropriate, not to mention the "guide to good ratting". I can't add whatever you want on Wikipedia. --Mazewaxie (talk • contribs) 16:58, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

The chairman tony reeve is nickname is the great man And John Corbett the manager has had a guide to good ratting published And are you an employee of Wikipedia? And I’m guessing your an American So if you continue to edit our edits our ultras will be tasked with editing the page every day We are not been malicious or harming anyone Bbaultra (talk) 17:07, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

@Bbaultra: I'm italian (not that matters anyway). Listen, here on Wikipedia there are certain rules. If you want to add content, it must rely on reliable sources. The fact that Tony Reeve is nicknamed "the great man" is unsourced (and irrelevant; we don't use nicknames to identify a person). Same for the guide to good ratting: it is not relevant to the article of the team he manages, and it's unsourced too. I understand that you edited in good faith, but don't add those informations again because I would be forced to revert them again. Also, "if you continue to edit our edits our ultras will be tasked with editing the page every day" sounds like a threat, and that's really exaggerated, and if you will act against the rules, the page will be protected from editing.

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar
Thanks for your great contributions to The Irishman over the past several months! Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 18:21, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi Mazewaxie! How did you enjoy the movie? I’ve seen a lot of great reviews by professionals, and some from the average person who complain about its length and its “boringness”. For one, the length did not bother me – it didn’t feel dragged out. Maybe it’s because of all the great cast they had from other mob movies and shows past, but I loved almost everything about it. I wouldn’t exactly call it a masterpiece or on the same level as Goodfellas, but it was a great Scorsese film. I loved to see Pesci back in there. He and Pacino were great. De Niro was good too, but I was really surprised that Scorsese let that scene of him beat up the shop owner look like that, because that was admittedly painfully fake. I mean, so was the way Sonny beat up Carlo in The Godfather, but this is 2019, I feel like that could’ve been fixed better. But it didn’t take away from the film for me. I also found some of the dialogue to be very witty – the prison scene with Tony Pro and Hoffa, as well as in Florida – being late, coming in with shorts, can’t Italians think of a different name other than Tony?? They’re all Tony. Haha. I liked having that contrast with the seriousness. Not a whole ton of action, but you have to appreciate the story. I think the problem that a lot of the people who complain about it stems from the way movies are made and consumed today. People talking about watching it as if it were a miniseries? Cmon. If it were a miniseries, they would just binge it all at once anyway, right? What I will say is, though, is that I wish that instead of just writing “X shot 3 times in the face. 1980”, it would’ve been cool if they actually showed more of these killings – maybe montage style like how was done in Goodfellas. How did you find it overall? Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 18:21, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

@Vaselineeeeeeee: Hi! Thanks so much for the barnstar! I absolutely loved the film, and as an Italian I loved the scenes in which De Niro and Pesci speak Italian, especially when Pesci said words like "minchia" and "disgraziato" lol. The CGI wasn't perfect but was good enough IMO, and I totally agree on the scene when De Niro looks too old while he beats up the shop owner, but that scene lasts just for 30 seconds luckily lol. I don't like it either that some people split it in multiple parts, Scorsese envisioned it as a film and that's the only way it should be watched. I really loved it and it's probably my favorite film of 2019, and one of my favorites in general. Thanks again for your acknowledgement. Sorry for my bad English but I'm in a hurry, I wrote this as fast as I could, if not I would have wrote a more detailed reply about the film. Thanks again and I wish you a nice day! --Mazewaxie (talk • contribs) 20:03, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
@Vaselineeeeeeee: Hahaha yes, that scene was great. Which part of Italy are you from? Sicily? Disgraziato is a classic word in my Sicilian grandparent's vocabulary lol - not so much minchia though, a lot of scemo though haha. Yes, great film, overall. No worries about the English, it was fine :) Now we have The Many Saints of Newark to look forward to. Un presto buon Natale a te! Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 20:25, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
I'm from Central Italy, more precisely from Lazio. "Disgraziato" is used frequently here, and I believe it is in the whole nation as well, while "minchia" is typical of Southern Italy. "Scemo" is a common word too. By the way I'm looking forward to watch The Many Saints of Newark, even though I have to finish The Sopranos first, but unfortunately the series isn't available on any streaming service here in Italy, so I don't really know how to continue it as of right now, but I will surely finish it in the next few months.

Oh nice, my other grandparents were from Sora, Frosinone. Check out some user boxes at Template:User in Lazio if you like any. Oh, that's unfortunate about your situation with The Sopranos. That show is toooo good. Surely there's got to be a way for you to get your hands on it either through some free online source like pirate bay or HBO International?
