Maybe, though it's an enormous can of worms to delve into at all. American (word) is already an unholy mess; and Pan-American (word) could probably be an unholy mess as well - nothing related to the Americas is easy or one-sentence-y, in my experience.

Hi, in more detail than I provided in the article (because its quite complicated, but I thought people would be able to understand the wording and realise what I was talking about), the Queen is a 1st cousin, 4 times removed, to all of her children, due to them all being descendents of Queen Victoria and Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge, who were 1st cousins as grandchildren of King George III. The closer family connection was provided for when Victoria's grandson, the future George V, married Mary Adelaide's daughter, Mary of Teck. The source is the ancestry charts on Wiki which show the previous generations of the Royal Family. Nocrowx (talk) 21:29, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have given you a week to reply to my earlier section titled 'The Queen', which you have not yet done; I have been waiting for you to revert your last edit to the page in question as you promised you would do when I provided the justification for the inclusion of this noteworthy information. If you do not respond soon, I shall have to revert your edit for you and assume you are happy with the inclusion of my edit.

WP:BLP such information should not just be determined by charts. I'm fairly sure if you put that in again that it will be removed by someone else. If you don't source it from an external source I really don't think it's acceptable within that policy. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 01:14, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply

The convention is only meant to describe up to province level. CMD (talk) 10:32, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am rather surprised to learn that. Would you be able to help me understand the reason behind? >g2g886 (talk) 14:02, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure why they prefer to have province over country, but in general you wouldn't have titles so disambiguated. Once you have the name of the place, X, you could disambiguate it as "X, province" or "X, country", but having "X, province, country" is long and unnecessary. In regards to your edit specifically, that was a list to try and show that the description of what a place is, eg. a mountain, province, or city, goes after the name of that place, so including Republic of China didn't really make a point. CMD (talk) 14:43, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

When you say "they prefer to have province over country", do you mean Chinese speaking communities? If that's the case, I believe I would have a better understanding over it. The Chinese communities used to be extremely China center due to its history; however, today, province, which is very similar to "state", along is not sufficient to address a place within Chinese speaking countries (ie.

Dasyue Mountain, Taichung city, Taiwan and Dasyue Mountain, Sichuan province, China (they are different mountains). Please refer to [2]. IMHO, country name is essential. >g2g886 (talk) 03:07, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply

]

When I say "they" I mean the writers of that guideline page. There's no need to include the country and the province. Either one will provide disambiguation. Disambiguation is not meant for identification. CMD (talk) 12:38, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your writing implies there's a single ambassador for South Africa and Brazil, and that the OIC was the only party to object. You then changed the objective section into a long series of very short subsections, which inhibits prose and looks cluttered. CMD (talk) 22:55, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The editor (assuming IP and new user are the same due to the edits in question) also changed "considered to be one of the premier high schools in the Philippines" to "considered to be the premier high school in the Philippines", so they're not blanking due to source considerations. Did some googling, and found court case in regards to local salaries and a separate case which mentions the 2006 issue as evidence. The source that was already in the article ([3]), seems to be almost a primary source by some involved parties, but covers the second paragraph.

This isn't a BLP, so I don't see why 'negative' content should be excised for sourcelessness while 'positive' content remains. I also don't think we should let anyone edit with the purpose of whitewashing an article. The above sources aren't the best, but 1) there's not going to be professional sources for high school (although for some reason all high schools are notable), and 2) it's more sources than the rest of the article has. Thoughts? CMD (talk) 09:41, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

//The laws are to prevent children committing criminal offenses, but most countries with these laws put heavy penalties on anyone giving the alcohol to children, so there's no theoretical way for them to drink it.//

Without intending any insult or condescension, someone old enough to vote, sign contracts on one's own, and join the Army is not a child, and even though I'm now 25 myself, I still don't appreciate the implication that children can vote or join the Army because alcohol law makes it seem that way. Just because voting age and military age (and indeed draft age in the case of males) adults are forbidden from alcohol by an outdated series of laws, this does not make them minors. (For indeed they are not minors.)

Pentecost falls on the tenth day after Ascension Thursday (40 days after Easter). The sentence above is formally confusing , on its face . This sentence is the last line of the introductory paragraph . I could delve into the formal reasons for this structure/meaning confusion ,but the obviousness of the problem , would argue against any such tiresome chore . The , all too apparent , shoddy syntax , could be easily remedied by the deletion of the parentheses and the addition of 2 words to render the phrase therein as a clausal construct . Well , " eezy-peezy " you might think - if your inner dialogue included late 90's idiom - but , as it turns out , not so . The last time I engaged in this sort of ad-hoc syntactical smoothing for the purpose of clarifying , not changing , a writer's meaning - I believe it was , as basic as, noun-verb number agreement - my virtual knuckles were smartly rapped with a threat to report and then brand me with some odious Acronym . Needless to say , I refrained from reverting , nor did I engage in disputation , for a number of reasons . At this point , I could go on , concerning the distinction between proof-reading and editorial concerns , but I won't -- And I won't alter the confused and confusing sentence that occasioned this overly prolix diatribe .Bjhodge8 (talk) 05:44, 27 January 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bjhodge8 (talk • contribs)

Hi there, I did some digging, and I found out the notorious Georgian sockmaster Satt2, who had a frantic POV to try and push Georgia into Europe and break all its Asian bonds, really had a dislike for you. He created tons of socks over the span of many years all having the same insane obsession, namely "preaching" this Georgia is Europe agenda on Wikipedia. He often created socks with hate names referring to you ("Meurtrierdechipmunk", "Chipmunkmustdie", etc.) as well. Does this all ring some bells, perhaps? Well, he has returned on a new sock and has managed to dodge the bullet for a few months now. Glad I found the SPI case.

Hey

WP:BOLD, while applying your judgement. If something has been cite tagged for awhile, and you can't find any sources about the point in question, there's no reason you shouldn't remove it. Add an edit summary explaining the removal of course. If it has only recently been tagged, or you feel there is merit to the statement even though you can't find a source, it may be worth leaving it for a bit. However, even then if you do choose to remove it (which you can), the worst that will happen is someone reverting it, so no harm done! CMD (talk) 22:20, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply

Hey Chipmunkdavis, I know you had a problem with my recent AfD nominations but I just wanted to say I feel like the quote you have on your page is great and pretty relevant in our disagreement:

"There is a habit among editors to look at how the text of an article changes, rather than what the text says. There is a presumption that if text moves from one POV then it must be moving towards another POV (and so we see opposing POVs waxing and waning rather than seeing it for what it is: a settling at a NPOV)."

That's not meant to be snappy or sarcastic. I just genuinely feel like my

I am sure you are working in good faith, but that does not meant there is no issue. I have no opinion on whether the Orania Representative Council meets or fails GNG. I have not looked into it at all. The problem is, your deletion rationale leaves me none the wiser. It reads as entirely disconnected to GNG, and that is problematic. On the Ora article, you have removed the note of the peg, removed the etymology behind the name claiming that this was inappropriate in Wikivoice, added the assertion that the digital version is a cryptocurrency, among other problematic edits. As with the deletion rationale and notability, your expressed reasoning does not match the actions taken. I cannot understand the reasoning behind this disconnect, and I suspect from the AN/I other users cannot either, but so long as this disconnect remains you're editing is going to continue to run into issues. CMD (talk) 10:45, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I did remove those things from the article because they were not supported by the sources. The articles I read almost always said "Orania spokesperson says..." or "According to Orania..." but the central claims were not supported by the sources provided/other reliable sources. The etymology was in fact a statement by an Orania spokesperson who said Ora "sounds like" the latin word for gold. That is not the same as a reliable secondary source stating the etymology authoritatively. The peg statement is refuted by the Reserve Bank of South Africa and other reliable sources. The dOra is a cryptocurrency and that was supported by sources already present but I could add more if you would like. I truly believe I explained these things in my edit summaries and have edited honestly. I personally do not understand how we came to separate conclusions based on the cited sources. This following statement is meant earnestly as well, it puzzles me as to why you would characterize my edits as vandalism or disruptive when I have stuck by reliable sources, detailed edit summaries, and have been ready and willing to discuss issues on the talk page if they may arise. I believe it's clear many users have a problem with my edits but I make sure to stick by

Hello @Chipmunkdavis !

I am a fellow wikipedian, and I recently published a new article called Disability in Kenya, because I thought it was primordial to provide knowledge on disabilities in this specific country. This country's norms, perceptions, myths, and policies around persons with disabilities are unique, and as I am particularly close to Kenya, I think this article is valuabe.

But since I am quite new to Wikipedia, I wanted to know if I could get your feedback on this article. I saw that you commented on the Kenya talk page, so I thought it would be great to reach out to you!

Thank you in advance.

Hi Zp 2298, nice to hear from you. It would be best practice when reaching out for assistance on a specific article to link to that article, eg. [[Disability in Kenya]] becomes Disability in Kenya. I see someone else has already made some notes on the article. A key consideration to remember is that Wikipedia articles are not papers, they do not have a thesis and are not meant to argue a point. Instead, they are meant to plainly provide comprehensive information about a topic. It is helpful when writing Wikipedia articles to make sure everything that is written comes from an external source, which makes it easier to maintain an encyclopaedic tone.

Hi Chipmunkdavis,

When I browsed Lunar New Year page, I saw the first sentence is "Lunar New Year is the beginning of a lunar calendar or lunisolar calendar year, whose months are moon cycles." I kinda suspect if that is correct. Since the pure lunar calendar does not have an intercalation that appears in lunisolar calendar, the date of new year does not aligned in these two calendars. IIRC, the difference will be around 11 days when both of them finished one year cycle. I cannot find and refer you a page of concrete calculation process, but I think the Wikipedia page of lunar calendar and lunisolar calendar are sufficient mentioned enough about the calendar difference. To avoid confusion for readers, I think there should be a better way to distinguish them. There may be some cultures call them as the equivalent, but this kind of case should be addressed separately. I am not sure how to submit the suggestion of this page, so I browsed contribution history and found you might be the right person to explain my thoughts.

Let me know what is your suggestion.

Hi CMD, hope you're doing well. We interacted several months ago when you took part in a discussion at Talk:Henley & Partners, and I'm hoping you won't mind doing so once more. I recently proposed two content changes at Talk:Henley & Partners#Fixing misleading language in two places. Can you please take a look, and implement my suggestions in the article if they seem reasonable to you? Thanks! Sarah Nicklin (talk) 08:00, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sarah, I am quite busy at the moment, be sure to tag your request with Template:Request edit and it may get dealt with sooner. CMD (talk) 09:10, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks anyway! Sarah Nicklin (talk) 11:45, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
