Discussion at Reliable Sources noticeboard[edit]

Hi, I noticed that you are creating many pages and sections based on forebears.io. I have my doubts whether that source is acceptable for Wikipedia, so I have started a discussion at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Forebears.io. You are welcome to share your thoughts about (or knowledge of) the site there! Fram (talk) 10:52, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop using forebears.io as a source~or inserting information taken from that source (unless the consensus of the discussion changes). Please also don't make pages on names or surnames where only one enwiki article with that name exists (e.g. Trafeli). We normally don't have pages on names (unless they are for some reason truly notable), but may include some information on a name in a disambiguation page. However, when there are only one or two pages with that name, we don't create a disambiguation. Fram (talk) 12:10, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oskar Nissinen moved to Draft:Oskar Nissinen (draftspace)[edit]

Hi Pamrel! An article you recently created, Oskar Nissinen, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your article to Draft:Oskar Nissinen, draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the confirms on the Articles for Creation and put this {{subst:submit}} at the top of the article. If the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline, then a AfC reviewer will help you to move the draft article to mainspace. Also you can consider using the Article Wizard. You may want to read "Your first article". Happy editing!Siddiqsazzad001 <Talk/> 18:53, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I must say I'm a little puzzled by your message, for the following reasons: 1) This is an article about a national legislator, a Member of the Parliament of Finland, which means that it most definitely meets Wikipedia's notability criteria. I quote: "The following are presumed to be notable: Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature." ([1]) 2) The source I had first quoted is the database of the Parliament of Finland, which is, of course, the definitive source for Finnish legislators. To claim that it isn't a reliable source would be beyond absurd. This is why I have some trouble understanding the point with your remark: "Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia)", as it seems to suggest that the official database of the Parliament of Finland would, for some unfathomable reason, not be a reliable source. However, that must be a misunderstanding, as you cannot possibly mean that. 3) A large number of short articles about national or state/province-level legislators seem to have only one source, which is typically the database of the relevant legislature, as in the original version of my article. This means that, while several sources would of course be a good thing, one reliable source (such as the database of a national parliament) is quite obviously considered to be enough to warrant the publication of an article, provided that the article's subject meets Wikipedia's notability criteria (as it does in this case, national legislators being notable by definition). I have, however, quoted two additional sources, one of which is the database of the University of Helsinki about the alumni of that university between 1853 and 1899. Pamrel (talk) 21:59, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

One example of a short article about a national legislator with only one source: Albin Andersson. There are very large numbers of short articles of this type. Pamrel (talk) 22:20, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Pancho Villa, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chihuahua (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Your addition of stresses to Russian names[edit]

Please stop doing it, this is not how the names are written in Russian. In the Russian Wikipedia they indicate how the names are supposed to be pronounced (taken that Russian-speaking people know their alphabet), but all publications that mention the name of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, for example, will write "Николай Андреевич Римский-Корсаков", not "Никола́й Андре́евич Ри́мский-Ко́рсаков". Adding stresses to the names is not a common practice in the English Wikipedia where the names are written as they are written, with a separate section for "pronunciation". Thank you. AveTory (talk) 19:06, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Being a native Russian and having a couple of thousand edits in ruwiki, I second that. Even in ruwiki, despite its rather widespread (but IMHO redundant) use of these stress marks, placing them all over the leads wasn't ever a fully consensus thing to do. And for the English articles it's simply wrong and misleading, so I'm aiming to remove them all on sight. Pamrel, please hear and stop adding these, it's not an improvement at all, it's counter-productive. — Mike Novikoff 18:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please preview, consolidate, and summarize[edit]

Hello- Below are a few editing suggestions to make it easier for you and others to collaborate on the encyclopedia. Please preview, consolidate, and summarize your edits:

Try to consolidate your edits, at least at the section level, to avoid cluttering the page's edit history; this makes it easier for your fellow editors to understand your intentions, and makes it easier for those monitoring activity on the article.
- The show preview button (beside the "publish changes" button) is helpful for this; use it to view your changes incrementally before finally saving the page once you're satisfied with your edits.
Please remember to explain each edit with an edit summary (box above the "publish changes" button).

Thanks in advance for considering these suggestions. Eric ^talk 18:07, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Categories[edit]

Please stop adding inappropriate categories to caste articles, as you have done recently at, say, Kayastha and Dharkar. Categories are as much subject to WP:V as article content. - Sitush (talk) 21:50, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How exactly are those two "inappropriate"? FYI: they are included in this list: Ethnic groups in Nepal Pamrel (talk) 21:58, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In which case please also read WP:CIRCULAR. - Sitush (talk) 22:00, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Seemingly, you didn't notice that the article we're talking about is sourced. One of the sources: Nepal Census 2011 Pamrel (talk) 22:22, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I did notice but it is not my problem. The source needs to be in each caste article and you need to verify that it does indeed say what is claimed before adding it, and also that the caste referred to is in fact the same caste as that being discussed in the individual article (as opposed to a different community bearing the same name). - Sitush (talk) 22:26, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And here's another one: Population Monograph of Nepal Pamrel (talk) 22:29, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Biographies[edit]

Hi, Pamrel. I see that you have created lots of biography articles. When doing so, please could you note the guidelines at Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Biography#Birth_date_and_place. "Birth and death places, if known, should be mentioned in the body of the article, and can appear in the lead if relevant to notability, but not in the opening brackets alongside the birth and death dates." If you can do this in future, it will save me a lot of work correcting them. Thanks. Deb (talk) 17:26, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:People from Bălți County (Romania)[edit]

A tag has been placed on Category:People from Bălți County (Romania) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

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.

Black Belt (U.S. region)[edit]

I notice you have been adding Category:Black Belt (U.S. region) to every county in Mississippi, but I'm not sure why. The Black Belt has no clear definition, and no exact boundaries. It's more of a concept than a place. Magnolia677 (talk) 19:52, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, according to the article, it does have a clear definition: those counties in the U.S: South where the population is over 50% African American. Quote: " Prior to the large shift of the Second Great Migration from the 1940s to the 1960s, the sociologist Arthur Raper described the Black Belt of 1936 as some 200 plantation counties where blacks represented more than 50% of the population, lying "in a crescent from Virginia to Texas". The University of Alabama also classifies "roughly 200 counties" as comprising the Black Belt.

The US Census reported that in 2000, the United States had ninety-six counties with a black population percentage of more than 50%. Ninety-five of these counties were located across the Coastal and Lowland South in a loose arc related to traditional areas of plantation agriculture, including the Mississippi Delta." Also, your impression that I have been adding this category to every county in Mississippi is incorrect; I have added it only to those counties which actually fit the sociological definition (more than 50% of the population are African Americans). There are 82 counties in Mississippi; of these, only 25 fit the definition. Pamrel (talk) 20:03, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A sociological definition does not make a geographic location. There is no entry for "Black Belt" at GNIS, and it is out of scope of WP:GEOLAND. Would you be willing to remove the category? Magnolia677 (talk) 23:08, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Black Belt, along with Appalachia, the Gaeltacht, Mithila and numerous others, is a cultural region, not an administrative division. GeoNames only deals with administrative divisions, not with cultural regions. If we were to use inclusion in GeoNames as a criterion, no categories about cultural regions, such as Category:Appalachia or Category:Mithila would exist. The fact that such categories do exist proves that we cannot use that criterion. As for WP:GEOLAND, it deals with those criteria which a geographic region, area or place must meet in order to merit a Wikipedia article of its own. If your assumption about Black Belt (U.S. region) were correct, that article would have been deleted a long time ago. As far as I know, no one has ever even tried to delete that article. Most obviously, it does fit the criteria of WP:GEOLAND. As for the Black Belt definition, it's actually quite established. The article includes a quote from Booker T. Washington's autobiography, published in 1901 (Up from Slavery): "The term was first used to designate a part of the country which was distinguished by the color of the soil. The part of the country possessing this thick, dark, and naturally rich soil was, of course, the part of the South where the slaves were most profitable, and consequently they were taken there in the largest numbers. Later and especially since the war, the term seems to be used wholly in a political sense—that is, to designate the counties where the black people outnumber the white." The definition given by Booker T. Washington is, of course, the same that has since then been used in sociological studies about that part of the American South where African Americans constitute the majority population (and not just a sizeable minority).

Kuznetsky Uyezd (Saratov Governorate)[edit]

When you create a page with a disambiguated title like this, you should make sure the reader can find it by making a redirect (or a disambiguation page entry, or a hatnote) from the basic title, here Kuznetsky Uyezd. In most cases where there is nothing at the basic title and no other disambiguated titles exist, the title should be moved to the basic title, but I'm WP:AGF assuming that you know of another Kuznetsky Uyezd which you will be creating later. Even so, there needs to be a link now, so I have made a rather non-standard redirect from Kuznetsky Uyezd to the currently unnecessarily-disambiguated page. When you create another Kuznetsky Uyezd (xxxx Governorate) page, please convert that redirect to a disambiguation page. Thanks. PamD 20:27, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Notifications about notable residents[edit]

Hi, I hope I am not annoying you by notifications from giving attribution to you when I create lists based on the above categories.

You can safely ignore the notifications, but if you are willing to help with replacing the nominated categories with lists, that would be very welcome! – Fayenatic London 16:31, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I did not get round to listing all the categories before they were deleted. Here[2] is a link to some that were missed, in case you would like to list them. I don't think I will do any more on these – let me know if you would do so, and would like me to trace more that were missed like these. – Fayenatic London 20:05, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
