Taxi Dancers of Ceroc Might Do Well With a New Sub-Section

I have seen your interest in the Taxi Dancer article, specifically to Ceroc dancing. In what country have you observed Ceroc? If you look at the Taxi Dancer article you'll notice that I have created some sub-subsections under the subsection Taxi Dancers Today heading, which include Argentina, United States, and also plan to add one for Mexico as well. If you are familiar with Ceroc in another country, do you think that you might like to create a sub-subsections for that country (any length to start) and use you knowledge for its content? Only a suggestion.James Carroll (talk) 17:03, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Unreferenced tag

Happy new year to you. Regarding this edit, I believe that "3 NZBLC 102,000" constitutes a legal citation. A separate issue is that User:Kiwisheriff appears to know their way around the legal system. So this is thus a courtesy note that I have removed both tags. Schwede66 05:59, 12 January 2014 (UTC) thanks for that... it was the correct legal citation — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kiwisheriff (talk • contribs) 10:56, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

I know little to nothing about the law or legal citations, but we have the apparently excellent Template:Cite court, which would be how the "correct legal citation" would be formatted on wikipedia. I'm also not sure who a citation such as this can be used to support the claim that it's 'widely cited', but that's another question. Stuartyeates (talk) 00:31, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Nomination of Martin Leo Zöllner for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Martin Leo Zöllner is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Martin Leo Zöllner until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Periglio (talk) 20:16, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of events named pogrom ‎

Stuart, since you are an outsider to the above debate (as opposed to many other editors there), your perspective is very valuable.

You are the only "outsider" editor to view the article as "Pointy" and a "Fork".

Could you kindly explain either here or on the AfD what you think the "point" is and how it is a fork? I am the creator of this and have been racking my brains as to what the "point" that the nom sees in this actually is, so an outside view would be really good.

Oncenawhile (talk) 08:58, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

AfD discussion should be conducted at the AfD, not here. I have it on my watchlist. Stuartyeates (talk) 09:02, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Ok thank you. I posted there. Oncenawhile (talk) 09:54, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for replying there. It shows just how complex this question is, as your rationale was not what I expected at all (although I'm not sure what I expected). The way you described the word is exactly the kind of thing that the AFD nominator has been blocking at Talk:Pogrom for more than a year, and is one of the topics covered (and well sourced) at [1] - a previous article that I began and the current nom fought successfully to delete. So your interpretation of "point" here is definitely not the nom's view (although I still don't know what that is).... Anyway, i'll respond properly at the AFD.

Wikidata weekly summary #97

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Discussions
  • Let's redesign Wikidata's interface
• Reasonator
  • By hovering over a wikilink you will see the first paragraph.
  • The "personal settings" allow you to import your Babel info from Wikidata. This can be used to restrict the random items you will get.
  • The first iteration of "on the fly" text generation for English. It works for "humans" and, is completely based on the available Wikidata information.
  • You can now add labels in your language from within Reasonator. Technically oAuth is used. It now takes just one click to add a label in your language.
• Did you know?
  • Newest properties: IAAF ID, Lagrangian point
  • Showcase items: Vesta (Q3030)
• Development
  • Wrote performance tests so we can track performance improvements better
  • Did a code review of all gadgets that are enabled by default in Wikidata. Found and fixed a performance bottleneck.
  • Work on making the interface more responsive, e. g. live preview when editing labels and updating the watchlist star when saving.
  • Started refactoring and fixing issues with automatically created summaries that are, for example, created by bots via API calls.
  • Fixed an issue with OAuth on Wikidata because of permissions
  • Started code review of the code the student team is working on for suggestions
  • Discussed updates to the data model document to be able to update it to the actual implementation
  • Did a technical debt analysis and design review of Wikibase.git, with initial focus on WikibaseLib
  • Got (backend) EntityStore on the way, so we can test API modules without touching the database
  • Further work on TimeParsers move to the backend
• Monthly Tasks
  • Fix a format or content violation for the belongs to jurisdiction (P1001) property
  • Hack on one of these.
  • Help develop the next summary here!
  • Contribute to a Showcase item

Disambiguation link notification for February 17

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Malcolm Payne, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Polish (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.

Can you point me in the correct direction of what I should do next. Thank you! Kenleyb (talk) 20:49, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

what is needed is in depth coverage in sources independent of the subject that show evidence of real research on the subject, Stuartyeates (talk) 01:49, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi Stuart - are you able to add any further snippets of information to the article? My scratchings are fairly limited. NealeFamily (talk) 21:35, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

both copies of the book are accessible only in by-appointment closed stak facilities, meaning that they're essentially impossible to access, sorry. Stuartyeates (talk) 03:40, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Which libraries hold them? NealeFamily (talk) 00:19, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

@NealeFamily: I looked at this page, which only gave me a two hits before but now gives me a whole lot more. WorldCat is great for finding copies of obscure books. Stuartyeates (talk) 19:34, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks - I'll try to get to the National Library NealeFamily (talk) 21:58, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
