Thanks for participating in the drive, but if you don't know how many words you copyedited, we don't either.

I corrected the coordinates you gave for Buchanan's Station, which pointed over 17 miles away from the site. I'm always curious to learn how users make errors when putting substantially incorrect coordinates on Wik.ipedia.Pro; how did you obtain your coordinates?

How can the Chickamauga towns and the Cherokee lower towns be the same thing, if (according to relevant articles) overhill Cherokee established the former around Chattanooga during the Revolutionary War, and Alexander Cming toured the latter in 1730? 67.180.143.89 (talk) 23:13, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't threaten, and remember that if you tell me to "read some Cherokee history" I just might try reading it from the articles that you've worked on. I was interested in the (older) lower towns because I needed a link target to put in the Coker Creek article. The Chickamauga article is not that target; the section in the historic settlements article is. When the same term is used with two different meanings, that patently calls for disambiguation, not a simple redirect. 67.180.143.89 (talk) 00:52, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you change my merger proposal so that it now proposes to merge Reversing gear into Johnson Bar (locomotive)? Reversing gear is the general term while "Johnson bar" is a country-specific term for one form of reversing gear. Eldomtom2 (talk) 19:27, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not an expert on the image dos and don'ts, but I'm pretty sure you'd have to check the copyright rules in that situation.

Hey GenQuest, thanks for closing the merge discussion on this talk page! If you're closing any others in the future, remember to remove the merge tags from the main articles. WP:MERGE also recommends you record the proposal on associated talk pages with {{Old merge}}.

Hi Roundish, I have created an article but an editor keep declining it, I have provided a handful of credible sources. Could you please help me? here is the article: https://en.m.Wik.ipedia.Pro.org/wiki/Draft:Ali_Nili --ManhattanMG (talk) 11:52, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ManhattanMG, I suspect you posted this to the wrong UserTalk. GenQuest ^"scribble" 15:36, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why was the merger closed? I thought the purpose of posting things to proposed merger was to advertise the discussion to encourage discussion in talk much the same way discussion is done in AfD? I thoroughly DISAGEE with the merger into another article that another user did which I believe is content forking. That was done before the discussion had chance to conclude. I don't feel there's been clear consensus as to WHERE to merge Roundhouse Hotel into. Graywalls (talk) 18:31, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Graywalls: He actually created a new article that it fit into. As long as attribution protocols were followed, the issue of the content forking is now moot, as it only exists in that article (unless that text appears in yet another article I am unaware of). If you do not feel the new article has viable, standalone content, then feel free to take it to AfD. Article mergers are for verifiable content merging, not to decide if the article content or article should exist. That's what AfD is for. I closed the discussion because there is no need to waste editors' time on beating a dead horse. Regards, GenQuest ^"scribble" 18:53, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For future reference, I would like to know how I can get more input on merger discussion in the same way as AfD gets attention. Is there a way to do this? Graywalls (talk) 18:54, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As long as both articles are tagged with the Merge Request Banners, the only other way is to notify the affected WikiProjects on their Talk Pages about the discussion. ProjectMerge uses a 21-day target, but these sometimes stretch over a year if not listed. The ones with obvious solutions (per MOS) are sometimes quickly acted on—or as time permits—as it was in this case. BTW: Merging is not like AfD on purpose; but, like AfD, sometimes the solutions are different from what was originally proposed. GenQuest ^"scribble" 19:10, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ! I've recently edited Cassandra Peterson's page by removing referenced content. I checked the referenced content but found that even though it comes from her book, it's not exactly true. She claims that the nude photos were only published after becoming Elvira but a part of her career before becoming famous was her being a model and posing nude in adult magazines in the 70's. These 70s magazines are available online and disprove the referenced content. That's why I think it's better to remove the content since it's nonfactual and untrue when it comes to her career's trajectory. Lolamelody123456 (talk) 04:28, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't it be better to add the above explanation to her article? Otherwise, it comes across to the reader as whitewashing. Regards, GenQuest ^"scribble" 04:36, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Genquest, i m new to Wik.ipedia.Pro, the main reason i created a Wik.ipedia.Pro account is to enable me create a Wik.ipedia.Pro page for individuals who are interested in having a wiki page display information about them. How do i go about publishing for individuals such as artist or models who whish to be seen on wiki. your reply will be really appreciated. Thank you. --Adaonim (talk) 20:05, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Adaonim. The first of many steps to getting a biographical article written about someone, is the verifiability that they do exist. We do that through reliably sourced articles written about them in third party publications (newspapers, magazines, books, etc.) The second step is they have to be notable on a high enough level, again as found in the reliable publications. These publications (or "sources" as we call them) must then be cited in your article showing the truthfulness of any statements made. Before writing any articles, I would strongly urge you to Lurk around here a bit and see what others are doing, and familiarize yourself with our Manual of Style (tells you how things must be written, kind of our writers' Bible if you will). Try to fix some grammatical errors , punctuation, or formatting to get the hang of the process. Good luck with your experience here learning how to wiki. I'm here to answer questions, or you can write to the TEAHOUSE for answers. That is where many people can read your question(s) and offer guidance. Regards, GenQuest ^"scribble" 22:46, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey GenQuest, you reverted the image which I added to the page. I took it myself which is why it doesn't look professional :) I can't argue with your assesmment. Having said this, I wanted to update the image because the current image is out of date and looks like it was submitted by Drambuie themselves. Given this, whats the best way to add an updated image? MaskedSinger (talk) 20:47, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! @MaskedSinger: Sorry for the late reply. See Talk:Drambuie#Update_to_bottle_shot_image where this is being discussed now. Consider putting your image up on that section of the talk page of that article for comparison. We can get a consensus on what to do quickly, I think. The company guy is on there too.

Hey GenQuest, thanks for getting back to me. I totally forgot about this. Like I said, I had no issue with you reverting the image I downloaded. It didn't look professional which I guess is the most important thing. Having said all this, I noticed https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Drambuie_2016_Bottle.jpg which maybe looks better unless for some reason the company guy has a problem with it.MaskedSinger (talk) 08:40, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please see NOTABILITY. Also, look at COI. It is best to create a DRAFT article first, and see if it can pass these hurdles with the help of other editors. It is best that you do not work on the article, given your COI. This is very difficult to do with just a short experience editing here. Wik.ipedia.Pro is an encyclopedia, and requires substantial third-party coverage to justify a stand-alone article for any company. I can tell you how to make a draft article if you wish, but I cannot tell you how to make a company notable. Not everything that exists should have a Wik.ipedia.Pro article. If you can find the notable coverage, let me know. Good luck, GenQuest ^"scribble" 18:51, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, just a friendly reminder that something being hosted on ResearchGate or any other site does not necessarily mean it is the source. What matters is where the material was originally published. Hypnôs (talk) 22:08, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hypnôs: Not true anymore. Researchgate.net is social media and no longer allowed as a reliable source without verification of the original work. (You can do another RfC [discussion] on it, which has been tried unsuccessfully four times in the past--that I know of--but the community has consistently ruled it unusable without the verification.) Editors need to quote the original work, not something posted on researchgate.com. Please revert your revert of my edit. Thanks. GenQuest ^"scribble" 23:28, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

FYI: From :

…ResearchGate is a social network* that hosts a repository of user-generated publications, including preprints. ResearchGate does not perform fact checking or peer reviewing, and is considered a self-published source. Verify whether a paper on ResearchGate is also published in a peer-reviewed academic journal; in these cases, cite the more reliable journal and provide an open access link to the paper (which may be hosted on ResearchGate)… *emphasis mine

Every one of the sources you removed is "also published in a peer-reviewed academic journal" or other reliable source, the journals/books are cited, and open access links to ResearchGate are permissible. So I'm a bit confused why you removed them anyway. Hypnôs (talk) 00:15, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Hypnôs; Because the citations are linking to researchgate deposits, not the original papers. The "peer-reviewed academic journal or other reliable source" (a permalink or archival citation link to the original document) should be cited, not an unreviewed deposit at researchgate. How are the journals/books verified to the original paper if there are no links to those originals? Are they published? Who knows? If you looked them up to verify them, you have the link or information for those citations already. Why use non-reliable sourcing to verify a statement in an article, especially on an article such as Göbekli Tepe, that probably has hundreds, if not thousands, of other reliable sources available to use?? It's the same thing as citing to Wik.ipedia.Pro or ArVix.

There's plenty of FRINGE and SELF PROMOTION to be found on RG too—there is absolutely no editorial oversight to the "research" found there. There also wouldn't be a restriction entry at the Wik.ipedia.Pro "unreliable sources noticeboard" if what you say is still true. That listing was a community consensus, not mine. See A, B, C, D. My take-away from these discussions, that include comments such as: "...Any old shite..."; "Falls afoul of the unduly self-serving..."; "One would normally cite the original publication, not ResearchGate..."; "I'd say ResearchGate is never a reliable source..." is that RG should NOT be used as the sole citation to any content on Wik.ipedia.Pro.

Take, for instance, this ref you re-inserted...

• <ref>{{Cite book |last1=Beile-Bohn |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/253342438 |title=Neolithische Forschungen in Obermesopotamien Gürcütepe und Göbekli Tepe |last2=Gerber |last3=Morsch |last4=Schmidt |year=1998 |pages=45}}</ref>

...that is over 25 years old, also still refers to GT as a monolithic temple alone (since disproven), and—as far as I can tell—never actually published or peer reviewed. This is the definition of non-reliable. Regards, GenQuest ^"scribble" 16:56, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply. The links to RG are just WP:CONLINK. You use them, if the RS is not available online, for example. I have explained the difference between a host and the RS multiple times, so I'll just quote what you copied from WP:RSPSS: "Verify whether a paper on ResearchGate is also published in a peer-reviewed academic journal; in these cases, cite the more reliable journal and provide an open access link to the paper (which may be hosted on ResearchGate)". You are right in the example you brought up, the journal was missing from the citation.

Hello how are you? Please let me know what is the common practices of an editor on here? Is if I have long periods without edits do I lose my account or anything? I am practicing my writing and I want to be professional and unbiased when I choose to be.

Hi, Luxe. Welcome to Wiki!. No, you won't lose your username/account as long as you know your password and access it every few years or so. I don't know of YouTube videos to recommend, but I put some links on your talk page. There will be tutorials found there. It's pretty easy to edit, and everything can be easily fixed, so don't worry about screwing anything up. Be BOLD and start editing. I'd recommend just fixing spelling and minor things first, until you get the hang of it. Use the links I gave you on your TalkPage, and practice in your sandbox. Best of luck.

How do I get the blue links and pictures in my Wik.ipedia.Pro page --Superpug2838 (talk) 04:11, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Follow these coding rules:

• See the links I put on your talk page. Use brackets to make a blue-link to other Wik.ipedia.Pro article titles: [[ Ant ]] gives you Ant.
• Go to Wik.ipedia.Pro commons (those article titles start out with a prefix: File: for pictures available. So, [[File:Ant.jpg|thumbnail]] gives you: the picture you see of the guy holding the ant to the right ... >>>>

Practice putting pics on your home page or sandbox and look at other articles that have pictures in them (using the "edit" button) to understand the optional parameters and what they do and copy into your pix. The "thumb" in the sample above is one of these options. Good luck, GenQuest ^"scribble" 08:05, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there I'm also finding trouble finding my published unfinished copy so I am unable to view or even edit it --Superpug2838 (talk) 04:32, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Superpug2838 You need to contact the administrator that deleted your content to recover it to your sandbox. From what I can tell from your content creation, that was probably Liz. If that happens, you will have to work on your articles in your sandbox (the link for that should be in the upper right-corner of your windows). I have put a few links on your talk page, so I would suggest you first read up on how to edit Wik.ipedia.Pro before trying to do so. Practice in your sandbox, and start out fixing small spelling errors in the mainspace articles. Starting an article after just four edits will never work. Article creation in wiki takes hard work at first, and always education, maturity, and competency. You can get there, as we all started out that way. There is an accepted form to Wik.ipedia.Pro articles, and you need to hang around here and educate yourself on how to create that, and what is expected as a volunteer editor. It's fun reading articles and learning new stuff too. Hope this helps, and, Welcome aboard. GenQuest ^"scribble" 07:31, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain this. Why would you remove a merge discussion notice from WP:PAM when the merge proposal was still under discussion and had only been open for a short time? While PaulGamerBoy360's own actions there were not exemplary, in unlaterally closing a discussion they'd commented in as an interested party, you basically trainwrecked a merge discussion for no discernable reason. We now still have a crap stub that should almost certainly merge to the article on the parent school, and need to do another merge discussion. That was a total waste of time.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  16:47, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

SMcCandlish I actually improved the stub it to make it encyclopedic (which—if agreed to down the line—would also make it an easy merger). GamerBoy almost immediately reverted that back to the crap it is now and was before. I wasn't going to over it. While I understand your frustration, the request you made at PAM right after an AfD discussion—that involved merging as an option—is basically Forum Shopping, which is not allowed. Since there are no time limits at Wik.ipedia.Pro, I thought it best to give the proposal some breathing room. FS is a pretty good roadblock to any discussion aimed at consensus. For what it's worth, in this case, I agree with the proposed merge, but was attempting to stay uninvolved. I agree, it was a total waste of time, at this time. GenQuest ^"scribble" 18:23, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't even aware of any AfD (otherwise I wouldn't have said it was my intent to take it to AfD if a merge did not happen), so I was certainly not forum shopping. And a merge discussion following an AfD that unclear is never forum shopping to begin with, but normal "Now that this has been kept but is still in an unencyclopedic state, what should we do?" discussion. AfDs very often result in followup discussions. At the AfD, there were only four keepers, one of which said to employ "SEVERE trimming", which of course would (per your own reasoning) make this an even better merge candidate than it began as. As for your rationale above, "would also make it an easy merger ... I agree with the proposed merge" while removing the merge listing is directly contradictory of the delisting action you took, and of "attempting to stay uninvolved". I'm not "angry" with you, but it was an unhelpful and self-conflicting set of actions, even if the instinct to pare out unencyclopedic material was certainly good (as well as consistent with some of the issues raised in the AfD). If you legimately believed that there was some procedural problem with it being listed for merger so soon after an AfD, then the proper thing to do would have been to raise such a concern on the talk page (e.g. in the merge discussion itself), or even take it to WP:AN for examination, not unlaterly take completely conflicting actions that trainwrecked the in-progress process.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  18:39, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

SMcCandlish My attempts to stay neutral here often involve taking actions that seem contradictory, or against my own feelings, but inline with the MoS. That is why I did what I did. I understand now that your request was not intentionally FS. We can still have that discussion about "what should we do." When I copy edited the article, I did the 'severe trimming' as recommended in the AfD discussion; I removed it from the non-encyclopedic state; I added links and cut the crap, but it still got reverted. The only thing I did was move the location of the merge request at PAM-board, I did not remove the Merge Request Banners or close the discussion, I specifically left them in place in order to put the request in the long queue (now at 11 months), hoping more input from the community would occur going forward. I merely put the request on hold, but it was totally stopped by PaulGamerBoy360, who almost immediately removed the banners and closed the discussion, contrary to MoS policy, procedure, and a possible wp:ANI-worthy infraction (regarding OWNERSHIP and INVOLVED)—what with him being totally involved and all. That should all be reverted. I was really expecting someone experienced to step in and stop/revert that, because I didn't want to edit-war, and I don't have time to wrestle with this right now due to RL obligations, but it WAS on my radar to tackle in the future. If you decide to take this issue to the drama boards let me know, I'll back you on it as time permits. That article is currently unimproved crap, and something needs to be done with it, sooner than later. Again, I am sorry for your disappointment, just trying to do what's best for Wik.ipedia.Pro. Regards, GenQuest ^"scribble" 19:42, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, and this is water under the bridge at this point. I think we'll have to wait for PGB360's "helicoptering" to settle down, and try to address this some time later.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  19:51, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On the page for the Bauhaus song "Terror Couple Kill Colonel", it refers to Bauhaus as an "English gothic rock band", however on the page for the album 1979-1983 it is referred to as a "post-punk band", could I change the page for "Terror Couple Kill Colonel" to refer to them as a "post-punk band"? Also how do I link it to the page for post-punk? --ImDumb2345 (talk) 21:08, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The link for post-punk is already in the INFOBOX of that song's page. You could copy that link and add that it is also considered post-punk in the body of the page and reference the album if that is what you are asking. I wouldn't replace it entirely.

Hello.

1. This move had the effect of redirecting Jane Gissing. You say "Ready for several merges of individuals, one per AfD", and I believe that must be Wik.ipedia.Pro:Articles for deletion/Alfred Gissing, which seems to me a very bad non-admin decision. I am in complete agreement with Msrasnw on that page. But while Jane Gissing did not at that point seem to be notable, may I ask what the process was and who was notified?
2. Looking at this edit, would you mind explaining the process that led you to redirect Algernon Gissing to Gissing Family? I am struggling to see how an Afd could have found someone with an article in the DNB to be non-notable. If there was no Afd, that page should I think be reinstated. Moonraker (talk) 00:11, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Moonraker see Wik.ipedia.Pro:Articles for deletion/Alfred Gissing. I merged him into a family article because merging into George would have just been weird. Project Merge gets that stuff after AfDs all the time, and we adjust it if needed. For symmetry with that family, Algernon came along for the ride, but that was a judgement call on me. The daughter, Jane's, stub article was used as the base for the family article, to preserve her scant info also. If you think notability has changed with any of these folks, please feel free to split them off. Regards, GenQuest ^"scribble" 02:33, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• • Thank you for the frank answer, GenQuest, I gather you didn't follow any process. No, I don't see that any notability has changed, as there can be no doubt about Algernon Gissing. I'll reinstate that page now. It will leave "Gissing Family" as a page about Alfred, with a few sentences about others tacked on, which seems to underline how bad the Afd decision was. I would only say that redirecting pages ought not to be a one-person action, and if you do ever act that way perhaps you should add an explanation to the talk page, which people watching the page can see and disagree with.

• Hello, Vipz; per your query/comment:

1) This was an un-discussed, controversial template addition made to a contentious article;

2) The fly-by edit that added 'war crimes' to the "American Imperialism" template itself was undiscussed, and indeed makes little sense;

3) As to the intermittent lack of an edit summary, that is the result of a known glitch in the 'Rollback'-permission feature of Wik.ipedia.Pro, and is not of my doing. Regards, GenQuest ^"scribble" 00:10, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Actress Cassandra Peterson’s middle name is Gay, which is sourced from her autobiography. I keep seeing you removing it. Gay is also a name, not just a reference to a sexual orientation. It was a common back in the 1950s when Cassandra was born. I just wanted to make you aware of this fact since you seem to think it’s being added in as a joke as she came as bisexual in recent years. This simply isn’t the case. It’s in her memoir. It’s her legal birth name. Partyclams (talk) 00:39, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'll let my cousin, Gay Marie B____. know. In the meantime, please find a reference that actually verifies that as her middle name so we can add it back in. Page four of the current reference given does not. Once found and documented, we can add the reference and the middle name back in. Until then, it's just like Facebook (no picture? --Didn't happen). Regards, GenQuest ^"scribble" 05:20, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is a page taken directly from her memoir: https://i.ibb.co/hLhVNKF/IMG-3682.jpg I have the Kindle edition. It’s page 4 on it. If you have the physical book, and it’s not on page 4, please let me know what page it is then. And BTW, I gave an explanation about the name Gay because two users told me that they thought it was vandalism, a troll insert, a comment on her sexuality. Apparently, Cassandra received some blowback with the public when she came out about her relationship with a woman. Partyclams (talk) 17:33, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello -- I saw you reverted an edit I made on the page , and left a message on my talk page indicating that it was because the information was incorrect. Could you clarify on which parts you believed to be incorrect? The information I added was from (what I believe to be) reliable sources, which I cited. In particular I saw you also reverted a previous edit attempting to clarify that the Alien Enemies Act specifically applies to individuals from enemy countries, which seems to be an important distinction and one supported by all material I can find on the subject. I can also open a discussion on the talk page for the article itself if needed, but wanted to check with you first on what the exact objection was. Thanks!

Hi, Rovenrat. I question either your source, or your interpretation of it. There were yet to be Republicans in the United States in the given time frame. Is it possible you meant philosophical republicans? (Note the small "r"). GenQuest ^"scribble" 05:41, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see what you mean. I was referring specifically to the Democratic-Republican Party, whose members are often referred to simply as "Republicans" in many sources as well as throughout Wik.ipedia.Pro (see Democratic-Republican Party#Party name for more info). So yes, it was meant in the broader context of the word "republicanism" in American politics, although not necessarily with a small "r". To avoid confusion in the future, I could adjust my edit to make sure that at least once per section I refer to the party/members as "Democratic-Republicans" or "Jeffersonian Republicans". Let me know what you think -- thanks! Rovenrat (talk) 17:14, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

KingCharlesTheFirst,there are no "sections." You would need to know the reference name of a law to look it up here. There may or may not be an article about it here.

There are, however, category listings at the end of each article; if you click on them, they will list other articles that exist in that category.

Next day.his guys have dug up the part of property, where a trailer was, saying that was our sewage hook up. But. We know that it was not! My husband & brother had to dig up our pipes once. Clean the pipes out and fix them back! My sewage pipes weren't hooked to the trailer ones at all. So, when we talked to the contractor, he looked funny. He just told us, what the guys digging said, and looked at us funny saying well, that's what they're saying.. "I ain't got a dog in this fight! But they dug it out, and the contractor has to hook it up! I bought properties. Where old houses use to be. This is the second time, I was told I wasn't on city sewage. First time, I was renting, and the city paid me money back. This time, I believe they are trying to cover up. Because, I have lived there for years, and didn't know this. But, a older man lived on the property, years before I bought it, and he had an out house! I went to the city and told them. they did absolutely nothing!! The church next door may not be either.
