Why do you see Forum for Democracy as far right political party?

Hi, I'm from the Netherlands and Forum for Democracy isn't a far right party at all, please look at their point of view on https://forumvoordemocratie.nl/standpunten Forum for Democracy is also member of the European ECR Party that isn't far right at all. I would consider partys like the AfD, Front National and for example the Brazilian president Bolsonaro as far-right. Why do you see them as a far-right party?

Duke Page

I will once again ask how providing context for Duke being a top 10 university within the US is any different than being a top 20 university worldwide. That is not puffery, POV, nor COI. Either both go or both stay, in my opinion. We can discuss this further if you would like. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.3.43.45 (talk) 23:01, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Rollback

Hi GreaterPonce665. 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
    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! bibliomaniac15 02:22, 23 April 2020 (UTC)


SHC014-COV

I had written that I had sourced my rationale for deletion of sections of the article on SHC014-COV. It looks like you saw those and reverted the article back to my edits. I appreciate it. The article was previously in clear violation of

WP:Original Research. The news articles from RT, FoxNews and The Guardian never mentioned SHC014-COV, or that it could be the parental virus. And one of their sources explicitly discounts the possibility (ironically enough). Articles about coronaviruses need to be watched carefully, as people adding blurbs like the deleted one is becoming commonplace. ComradeScientist (talk

With regards to your problematic revert, see

WP:NOCRIT would make you responsible for any of the content that was being added there. "He was criticised for spreading fake news" is not even supported by the source. What criticism?

Duke

Please familiarize yourself with other university pages. Forbes, US News, and the Wall Street Journal produce the most credible and widely read rankings in the US. There is nothing "cherry picked" about these sources. The line about Duke being a top 10 school deserves to be featured prominently in the lede. Particularly when other schools of similar caliber have all this fluff about being among "the most prestigious universities in the world" in their ledes. If you have a problem with it being in the lede, open it up to the community for resolution.

Hi, sorry but I still don't understand. The edits look to me like a simple copy edit. They've fixed grammar, punctuation, wording, etc. No significant material was added or removed. There are maybe a couple of mistakes and some changes in wording that are a bit pointless, but overall it looks like an improvement.

Response to Dr. Brown deletion

You are the expert, but you may want to consider that my addition to the Wikipedia bio that cited Dr. Brown's quote did cite my book "In the President's Secret Service." The Washington Post obit which the Wikipedia bio cites as a source considered the quote significant enough to include it, so an outside source--namely the Washington Post--did consider it important. In addition, since you asked why the quote is relevant, the Washington Post obit said, "In Washington, Dr. Brown became an authority on political psychiatry, focusing on individual leadership qualities, group dynamics, political strategy and tactics to achieve policy goals, especially when it came to the occupier of the White House." But I respectfully bow to your expertise and hope this additional info may be helpful!

Request to put wikipedia page on permanent protection.

Hi, We have been seeing an increased number of vandalism on Devendra Fadnavis Wikipedia page. The recent edit was undone by you, for which we are really grateful. The page was put on partial protection which expired on the 18th of May. During the protection period the act of vandalism ceased but as soon as the protection period was over the vandalism restarted. You may go through the edit history to merit the given accusation.

We would be obliged if the page was placed on permanent protection to ensure that these acts of vandalism cease forever and only those who have been registered, verified, and active on Wikipedia, make suitable changes to the aforementioned page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FSCOPC (talk • contribs) 11:00, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Not adequately explained?

In reference to my recent edit to Multicast DNS, you said: "you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary".

But my edit included a summary: "remove unsupported Android claim, as the link is about DNS-SD, not mDNS".

Can you explain why you consider this inadequate?

It's a link to a page describing a different technology than the Wikipedia article is about -- DNS-SD, rather than mDNS. I tried to find another webpage which supported the claim that Android supports mDNS, and I couldn't find a clear answer. Android seems to include some parts of an mDNS implementation, but it's not part of the standard DNS lookup mechanism.

In any event, the link provided did not in any way support the claim it was attached to. The page is dead today, but I looked it up on archive.org (2017, when the article says it was retrieved), and the page doesn't contain the word "multicast" or "mDNS" at all.

Misuse of rollback

Hello GreaterPonce665. While reviewing

those listed at the rollback guideline is likely to be considered misuse and can result in removal of the permission, since rollback leaves a generic edit summary that may be discouraging to good-faith users or new editors who may not be familiar with Wikipedia's policies.

for responding to my message. Instead of Hi there, if you could address adding username it would be good. So that I can get a notification as well.
Now, let me again clarify the things again:
  • I can't remove anyone's names from the page history if that's what you are asking me -> I know this & asking to remove my username from

    message.
  • I'm still puzzled by your keen interest in promoting this particular person. Why? -> I don't have any keen interest in that page. The reason for adding more details was because of PROD message which says If you can address this concern by improving, copyediting, sourcing, renaming, or merging the page, please edit this page and do so. I have already told you that Vikram Gaikwad is a make-up artist & there will be a lack of notable sources. Which is my mistake & I agree to it.
  • Btw, almost all of these 'references' are either tangential or non-reputable. -> I was waiting for your response, meanwhile I was trying to get as many articles as I can. Every article has 1 liner regarding this artist & I know it is not sufficient. That's why was asking to REMOVE/UNDO my edits.
It is for information purpose only
My concern is to remove my username from PROD message without any side effect (deleting a page is not the solution because it takes a good amount of time to construct it)

I did not make any changes to Dhananjay Munde article. I simply asked the editor why he removed a link. As it was a healthy discussion. You seem to have personal ties with this particular page because I didn't even write a single word and you sent me a warning. So now I think you don't appear rational in this process. I am reporting this as I think you are trying to discourage other people from editing on this page. You are establishing ownership and threatening people directly with warnings. Do not spam my talk page. I am reporting the concerned page to the administration board as it is having so many issues. Let them decide. I do not wish to engage in what seems like a coop. If you would have had asked me we could have had a healthy discussion. Mahesh Karve (talk) 09:53, 4 February 2021 (UTC)Mahesh

Endowment updates

Hi GreaterPonce665! I've noticed you updating the endowments of a bunch of colleges. I was curious, how are you going about inputting the data into AWB? At some point, I'd love to get education data (including also things like student body sizes) added automatically to Wikidata and infoboxes updating regularly relying on it. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 05:29, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Sdkb:, I must confess, my use of AWB is pretty rudimentary and I have no programming skills. However for routine edits I find AWB much smoother to use over the web interface. AWB is not ideal when there are multiple sources for multiple pages. Here's a brief rundown of how I use it:
1) I downloaded the excel data sheet from NACUBO release page and wrote down the reference in a separate text file.
2) In excel, I copied over "uni name" and "2020 endowment" columns to a new sheet. On that new sheet, I made a third column to "modified uni name" (more on this later) and fourth column which concatenates $, endowment value, and the reference (from text file)
3) Instead of opening each uni page on web browser, AWB can help with opening them from a list. AWB can make list using categories, but there's no satisfactory cat. to use here, so I make my own list. The "modified uni name" column in excel looks something like # [[:La Salle University]] which can be made by concatenating text with "uni name" column. Once the modified list is populated, I copy it to a txt file (which can be loaded in AWB).
4) Set the edit summary and make other minor changes if needed. List of colleges is on left, and only thing that needs to change is the endowment. For each edit, copy over fourth column from excel and command+S.
I know, this might not be best summary, but hope it helps. Thanks.

Ah, that makes sense, yeah. It still seems like a pretty manual way to do it, so I hope we find something better at some point. If we figure out how to import the Excel into Wikidata, we could just change the endowment line to ${{#expr: ({{Wd|property|raw|P6589}} / 10^9) round 3 }} billion ({{YEAR|{{Wd|qualifier|P6589|P585}}}}){{Wd|references|linked|P6589}} on every page and it'd draw from Wikidata. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 22:34, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Lamar University edit

Thank you for your efforts to update endowment amounts. I have made similar updates for several years. The NACUBO report is a great source, but in the case of Lamar University, I think the reported amount understates Lamar's total endowment. Lamar University has two endowment funds. The smaller fund of around $26 million named "Lamar University" is included in the NACUBO report. The larger endowment fund totaling $104,596,587 as of August 31, 2020 is named "Lamar University Foundation" Note:See page 156 of the linked Board Materials for the December 7, 2020 Texas State University System Quarterly Board Meeting.Texas State University System December 7, 2020 meeting materials If you want to click through, the pdf source can be found on the Texas State University System website linked here: Texas State University System Board Meetings Calendar

The Lamar University Foundation fund is not included in the NACUBO report, but is included in the $128.5 million endowment total reported by US News and World Report. https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/lamar-university-3581 Except for the past few years both endowment funds were included in the NACUBO report. I used the NACUBO number in years past to update endowment totals. That is actually my preferred source, but I discontinued using NACUBO for Lamar when I noticed both endowment funds were no longer included in the report. I hope after understanding the current inaccuracy, you will reconsider your February 21 edit and revert it back to the amount reported by US News and World Report.

I believe continuing to use the NACUBO reported amount presents an incomplete picture. I attempted to note the reason for using the US News and World Report number instead in my January 24, 2021 edit. Here's a quote of my edit notes. "Update endowment using US News and World Reports amount. Lamar has two endowments. The NACUBO report only includes the smaller endowment, Lamar University. The larger endowment is with the Lamar University Foundation. Excluding the foundation amount grossly understates the amount. USNews and World Report is a common source." I believe the correct amount should be reported. For Lamar, I don't think the correct amount is currently being reported if one relies solely on the NACUBO report until the NACUBO report once again includes both endowment funds for the university.
