Rong Qiqi / List of Chinese military text

Hi Hongkongresident, nice work on these new articles - well done! I have a couple of comments though:

  • Rong Qiqi - I made some minor edits after I picked up the link at Did You Know? I'm not sure people will find it interesting enough for acceptance (hundreds of people probably met or claimes to have met Confucius). Don't be discouraged if it doesn't get through!
  • WP:Manual of Style (layout)

Template:Confucian texts

Hi, this template is a nice addition to various articles but you should remove the Chinese characters following linked articles according to

WP:MOS-ZH. This is to keep things looking tidy and easy to read for non Chinese speakers. If a user wants to know the Chinese characters they can find them in the linked article. Where an article doesn't exist it is OK to use hanzi but you should include both simplified and traditional forms where appropriate. Best Philg88 (talk) 00:40, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply

Bite Me (book) Deletion

In your keep message for Bite Me, you comment that the book was writen by "two notable authors." You might want to correct that since it was only written by Moore.Shsilver (talk) 12:25, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops, typo, has been fixed now. Thanks for notifying me. :)--

GPS

No, my edit at GPS was not vandalism.

If you had bothered to actually look at Error analysis for the Global Positioning System, you might have noticed that the entire deleted section also resides there. The GPS article is much longer than the guidelines recommend - that's why you get the "This page is 131 kilobytes long. It may be appropriate to split this article into smaller, more specific articles. See Wikipedia:Article size." notice when you edit it.

There's also a thing called an "Edit Summary" - if you had actually read my edit summary, or the my edit summary on the edit erroneously reverted by"ClueBot" this would have been obvious.

Next time you decide to make a vandalism accusation, at least have the courtesy to actually look at the work first. The GPS article will never get any smaller if we split it into smaller, more specific articles, but never delete the split material from the parent article.

MoS issues vs. content issues

This is admittedly a silly issue to take up space in the

WP:ELNO
, about what links to include in the first place, is actually a content guideline and is not part of MoS); the fourth is mainly about terms and turns of phrase to avoid (although it does have a little bit of content guideline); the fifth is also that. (Yes, I know I am making a few oversimplifications for the sake of illustration, but you get the point.) These are much more issues of presentation than of content.

We both know this is a pretty nitpicky issue. But the reason I am bringing it up is, to be perfectly frank, I think it's a little unfair to try and pass off an article with serious content issue as "just MoS concerns". If I thought the article only had MoS concerns, I would not have nominated it for AfD; I have been here long enough to be familiar with

WP:BEFORE. Re-read the statement I left there when I opened the AfD: I agree that it is probably an encyclopedic topic, but the current page needs to be totally re-written before being appropriate for Wikipedia, and that is not just an MoS concern. rʨanaɢ (talk) 05:24, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply

I'm sorry about the whole silly argument, but you have to clarify what you mean by content issues. From what I've gleaned so far, your concerns seems to deal with

Revision history of Eyes (cheese)

The consensus was clearly to merge, six out of 12 people suggested it, even a person who wanted to keep it suggested it could be merged with cheese ripening if such article existed and it was created. Michał Rosa (talk) 09:20, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, I was one of the editors in favor of the merge. But the consensus, as determined by the admin, was to keep it separate.--

Binahian

I have declined your two speedies - though the tone is quite inappropriate, it isn't really an advertisement, and as for copyright we don't have any source and I suspect the poems are OR rather than copied from elsewhere. I can understand your wish to get rid of it asap, but let the AfD take care of it. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 09:12, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jeopardy! Tenth Anniversary Tournament

Maybe I was not clear enough. I provided to you the example merge edit summary Merge content from [[Jeopardy! Tenth Anniversary Tournament]] but I did not specifically say this: the name should contain a link to the merge-from article. This is the proper form for copyright attribution when merging content. The bracketing around the title "[[ ]]" (which make it a link when saved) was not meant to be optional. Using a

dummy edit I have fixed your merge summary here. If and when you merge the content from the Jeopardy! Million Dollar Celebrity Invitational, please do use an edit summary that links to the merge from article, as in my original example. Thanks.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 12:17, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply

Great. Perfect merge. The issue is simply that people must be able to follow content back to its copyright holders, here, the users who wrote it, and a link provides better access which is why this is the form stated under
Actions which must be performed for both merger types. Thanks!--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 13:34, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply

to help you create articles.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page,

San_marino#Religion - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page
.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of

article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:28, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply

Speedy delete tags

Per our

deletion policy, and as it states in the tag itself and in the notice above, an editor can not remove a speedy tag from a page they've created themselves and instead should use the hangon template. Dpmuk (talk) 17:36, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply
]

Not a problem - it was obviously unintentional and just something you were unaware of. Personally I'm unsure whether the A10 tag should have remained because now as it stands, it could get lost and never expanded. That said if the tag had remained it would likely have got deleted by now as not being improved enough. I believe that despite much discussion there has never been a consensus for speedy tags that only result in articles being deleted after x amount of time which leaves us with the choice of either tagging articles being worked on or possibly having them lost in the system while often being in a horrible state, neither of which is idea. It may be best, in future, to work on new articles in your user space and then move them into article space when at a more advanced stage. Dpmuk (talk) 00:59, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. Following your further edits the tag obviously should have been removed - I was referring to the state of the article when it was actually removed. Dpmuk (talk) 01:49, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
