Per Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle you should engage in talk page discussion of your edits. While I am sympathetic with many of the edits, you are the one who needs to explain and defend them. Otherwise if the other editor reverts them again and you revert them back you will technically be engaging in WP:Edit warring. So come on by. Thanks.

Edits on K'naan re songwriter / musician

edit

There are musicians that aren't songwriters. And there are songwriters who aren't musicians. I just felt that it was wrong to combine the two skills with 'musician'.

  We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to The Weeknd, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say.

Word of advice...

edit

I've opened an request for comment at the article's talk page. Next time, instead of engaging in an edit war and relying on over-long edit summaries to get your point across, take the time to use the talk page of the article whose content you are disputing: "If an edit is too complex to explain in an edit summary, or the change is contentious, add a section to the talk page that explains your rationale. Be prepared to justify your changes to other editors on the talk page. If you are reverted, continue to explain yourself; do not start an edit war." (WP:DR) Dan56 (talk) 09:29, 19 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

I attempted to mediate the dispute, to avoid an edit war, on your very Talk Page. You neither addressed my effort, but proceeded to revert my edits again. May I remind you, you reverted me first and reverted me last. The idea that I'm closing to an edit war is quite a stretch on your part. DA1 (talk) 09:41, 19 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
The protocol for avoiding an edit war and settling a content dispute is by discussing the dispute at the article's talk page(WP:DR), not engaging in what would have become a back-and-forth between us at our respective talk pages and would have required us to regurgitate our arguments at the RfC at the article's talk page. This is my last message to your talk page. Please don't message me again. Dan56 (talk) 09:48, 19 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
Sure, I won't message you again this time. But to go back to your point, the best thing to do when it comes to a dispute with one user in particular is to message them first, and invite them to have a discussion/mediation. Rather then going straight to the article's Talk Page where my edit may sit around for hours or days before getting noticed by the specific individual who I would like to address. So I addressed you personally, but never received a reply. DA1 (talk) 09:53, 19 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Protection at MENA

edit

Hello, DA1! I saw your comment at Requests for Page Protection regarding MENA. CambridgeBayWeather is correct that the article is not vandalized often enough to justify semi-protection. But what we can do, for an article like this that has a low-level but persistent problem with vandalism or unsourced material, is that we can add Pending Changes protection. That means that IPs can make edits, but the edits don't appear in the article - they don't "go live" - until they are approved or rejected by a Pending Changes reviewer. I will add PC protection to that page. And I have modified your user rights to make you a Pending Changes reviewer, so that you can review and accept or decline edits to that page. Please read the information below to inform yourself about this procedure. If you have any questions, you can ask me here; I will see it. --MelanieN (talk) 23:57, 17 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Arian v. non-Trinitarian

edit
I am still a bit rusty on this, but calling Arianism a form non-Trinitarianism seems best for most purposes, since now days Trinitarianism has a fairly defined meaning that excludes Arianism. In the earliest days of Christianity the term "Trinity" was around, but not clearly defined (by modern standards), so that Arianism seemed to have called themselves Trinitarian, at least up until Nicaea. Then, terms like "Nicaean" and "non-Nicaean" are used (rather than "Trinitarian" and "non-Trinitarian") for for people/groups/ideas. (Even Nicaea did not yet define the Trinity.)
One difference today is that non-Trinitarian groups are normally glad to tell you they are non-Trinitarian. tahc chat 20:01, 18 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
"calling Arianism a form non-Trinitarianism seems best for most purposes"
@Tahc: Yes, that's why I was hoping it be included in the non-Trinitarian section. I feel it's significant enough, and certainly doesn't contradict any of the information present on any of the articles and sources. DA1 (talk) 23:11, 21 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Re: Mike Tyson

edit

Ah, the wording is rather open-ended now that you point it out. There's no doubt he converted to Islam (per all his post-fight interviews, etc.), but the name change is what I can't find anything reliable on. If a source is contemporary (i.e., within the past decade), I would strongly guess that the name "Malik Abdul Aziz" has been lifted from this Wikipedia article after all the years of it being added/removed/re-added. There is also this article from 1993, but it doesn't confirm whether the name change actually happened—only that he was planning on doing so. As for whether the original account is reliable, the quotes are from Tyson's lawyer Alan Dershowitz. Any suggestions on how we proceed? Mac Dreamstate (talk) 18:56, 17 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Indeed, Dershowitz either didn't have the full story at the time, or Tyson's circumstances changed after his release a few years later. I tried Googling with certain terms omitted in order to narrow down the regurgitated fluff; e.g., -wikipedia -facebook -youtube -forum -forums, but I'm still not getting much else besides the Dershowitz quote and subsequent dubious repetition. A primary source(s) from the man himself should definitely be our target now. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 19:32, 17 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
Here's something more recent, from 2005, yet old enough to unlikely have been lifted from WP: [1]
[...] one of the welcoming speakers referred to Tyson by a Muslim name he adopted in the 1990s, Malik Abdul Aziz.
What do you think? Mac Dreamstate (talk) 17:32, 18 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
Looks clearcut to me. I've added it back to the lead with both sources. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 17:20, 21 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Rohingya

edit

We were editing Rohingya people at the same time. I believe I saved all of your changes, but you might want to make sure. —Anomalocaris (talk) 11:53, 5 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

@DA1: The only line I replaced was this grammatically incorrect sentence "Stripping the Rohingya population of their citizenship", which I rewrote as "and stripped the citizenship rights of the Rohingya". Mentioning the lack of voting rights is important. As this report suggests, 1 million people without voting rights is a notable issue.

I did remove the 8888 uprising, since it took place in 1988 and added a banned political party from 1992. The uprising can re-added though. But in terms of trimming the lede, you can cut down the HRW statement (8th century in the lede?) and the last four sentences of the last paragraph. Crimes against humanity would fall under genocide and ethnic cleansing mentioned in the first para.--Fez Cap 12 (talk) 09:25, 6 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Ideally, how big should the lede be for this article? --Fez Cap 12 (talk) 09:30, 6 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

@Fez Cap 12: I think the HRW statement is notable since it acknowledges contrary to the state, that the Indian subcontinent settlers date back to the 8th century. When the lead already states they've been stripped of their citizenship, that includes the right to vote. My main concern was the clutter because another user has already edited the lede multiple times before and complained about its size, but its fine that you added it.
The line about 8888 Uprising should be in the lead since it was the largest nationwide democracy movement, and the subsequent 1992 crackdown include the banning of the party you added. Which is why that party info should go to the body of the article. That party was not as major a point compared to 8888, and is also a sub-detail of the 1992 crackdown. The main issues is that if you put minute details in the lede which you cannot argue against its removal, it will be removed by another user sooner or later citing clutter/size. DA1 (talk) 09:50, 6 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi @DA1: Can you review the article again? One user, Psychonot, keeps changing sentences regarding population in the lede. Are his changes appropriate? --Fez Cap 12 (talk) 02:02, 12 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

List of religions in infobox at Mongol Empire

edit

You reverted this edit. I thought the original was unclear; putting all of them in one list while adding "Initially" and "Later" in front of just two entries leaves it ambiguous as to whether they apply just to those two or also others in the list. A single list that doesn't mention time would be less misleading IMO. Since you disagree, here's a different solution: split them into an "initial" list and a "later" list, like this:

  • Initially:
  • Later:

(I'm assuming here that Tengrism and shamanism were "initial" while the others were all "later".) What do you think? Hairy Dude (talk) 21:48, 26 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

This looks fine Hairy Dude. I think it would also be nice to somehow convey the different Khanate's respective religions in the infobox, so readers can see it. I believe there's a lot of misunderstanding among laymen of "the Mongols" due to norms of certain eras or places being applied to all as a whole. But we'll figure that out later, this is good for time being. DA1 (talk) 03:08, 27 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

WBA Regular belt

edit

Before the WBA Super belt was created, the regular belt was an established world title. Since the creation of the super belt, the regular fell from it's status. This is not rewriting an established narrative. rewriting an established narrative would be claiming that the regular belt is still a world title. For example, if the regular belt is considered a true world title, then undisputed heavyweight champion will not be determined by the outcome of Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder as Manuel Charr has the WBA regular belt. Furthermore, if the regular belt was considered a world title, then Lamont Peterson should not have had to vacate the belt to fight the current IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence and would instead be unifying the division. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CaPslOcksBroKEn (talkcontribs) 22:22, 3 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

@CaPslOcksBroKEn: Take this to the article Talk page of whatever it is you're talking about; and make sure it's not original research. If I may point out: The WBA considers their own belt a "world title"...it's why it's referred to colloquially, and not officially by the WBA themselves, as the "regular" belt because the Super is their new title separate from their standard world title. The issue of what belt is real or not, is entirely POV and not something Wikipedia takes a position on. DA1 (talk) 03:32, 4 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

I will take it to the talk page. But in case you forgot, you were the one who was telling this to me on Gennady Golovkin's page. Secondly, The IBO considers its own belt a world title, yet none of it's champions show up on the Wikipedia page of current world boxing champions, so clearly Wikipedia has taken a position on which sanctioning bodies have legitimate world titles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CaPslOcksBroKEn (talkcontribs) 04:20, 4 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Jola

edit

Can't you refer to the king of Oussouye article before reverting someone's edit as vandalism. The article is a mess anyway with no clear citation about their religious belief. Islam among jola is nominal at best and most of their beliefs are syncretic with their traditional beliefs. Please stop trying to own articles. I am in the process of clearing this article up Linguisticgeek (talk)

@Linguisticgeek: Until you've citations to back up your assertions you shouldn't be making bold claims about their religion or lack thereof. Do so when you have citations. This isn't about ownership, Wikipedia:Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and it relies on verifiability and your edit (the one I reverted) wasn't adding to that but merely increasing the unverifiability. Second of all, Oussouye is a single region in southwest Senegal. One religious leader therein does not represent the rest of the country and it's not even part of Gambia and Guinea-Bissau where the Jola also reside. This is WP:OR, and a really poor one at that.

"subscription"

edit

Hi, I undid your edits on the CNN article. Both CNN and HBO are subscription services, as you have to pay money to have them in your television offer. The difference is centred on CNN being a basic-tier channel, which can be acquired by just getting the basic channel package from your telly provider. However, HBO is a high-tier network, meaning that you have to pay an additional fee other than your subscription telly service. They are the same, after all, as «basic cable and satellite» are just another way to call low-tier pay television networks. Hope you understood, cheers. --Bankster (talk) 14:33, 12 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Bankster: I'm very much aware that HBO is a subscription or "pay" channel, but I didn't edit HBO, I edited CNN to say "cable television". Where do we disagree, are you saying CNN isn't basic cable? And either way, basic and pay both fall under "cable television" so I'm confused about where the error is you're saying. DA1 (talk) 04:38, 13 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
I used HBO as an example, as there is a present misconception of not considering pay television channels as subscription services when they are indeed the same. Nowadays, the distribution of TV networks is not limited to cable and satellite, as now there are IPTV providers using IP protocols to deliver channel data, there are OTT platforms distributing the channel via the internet, there are even pay television services based on VHF and UHF terrestrial frequencies (encrypted terrestrial television). Hence, it is not really convenient to label these kind of networks on only two ways of delivering them. --Bankster (talk) 04:43, 13 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Bankster: The article 'pay television' is heavily original research (although so is 'basic cable'), but I think you're being needlessly broad here. If we edit the lede as to accommodate IPTV then every "television series" would need to be edited to say "television and web series" when that is not standard practice. All TV programs are available online and can be found on various streaming sites. DA1 (talk) 04:51, 13 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
IPTV refers to distributing TV channels via a closed IP protocol connected to a database and decoded by a DVR, not necessarily using the internet. What you mean is the over-the-top media services or OTT for short, which are based on mobile apps and streaming websites, basically.

Pacific Mini Games

edit

Hi DA1, I believe the bolding should be removed from 'South Pacific Mini Games' in the second paragraph. Former names don't have to be bolded - I look at Democratic Republic of the Congo article, for example, and there is no bold mention of 'Zaire'. However if it was of prime importance and to be mentioned in bold, it should be included in the opening sentence. Happy to discuss further if you want to question the approach. Thanks -- Ham105 (talk) 20:57, 26 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Ham105: Hi. It doesn't have to be in the opening sentence; see visual example in WP:ALTNAME, and BOLDSYN stated "Only the first occurrence of the title and significant alternative titles...are placed in bold". MOS:BOLD states the same and that it applies even if it is not the first sentence.
There's a slight difference between that (DRC) and this: The "South Pacific Mini Games" was and is the name of the editions pre-2009 which are covered by the current article. It should be bolded for people searching for the past event, and also to highlight that alternative title. As for Zaire, that has it's own distinct article Zaire that is being linked; per MOS:BOLDAVOID, piped links shouldn't be bolded in the an opening sentence. Granted it was the second sentence, but (like my above examples) I've noticed it is still standard practice not to bold; see Persian language's treatment of Tajiki and Dari which are being linked. –DA1 (talk) 21:30, 26 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

I take the point on Zaire. Let's get a solution. From the Manual of Style, the first sentence is preferred (bold text is mine):

  1. The section for BOLDSYN is "Format of the first sentence".
  2. The visual example cation in ALTNAME says "This page gives advice on the contents of the first sentence".
  3. ALTNAME itself states that "significant alternative names for the topic should be mentioned in the article, usually in the first sentence or paragraph".
  4. The South Pacific Mini Games case is further down from the top in the second paragraph. If significant enough to be bold then it should be worked into the opening sentence, or at least the first para.

@Ham105: You should read MOS:BOLD. This is getting tedious. DA1 (talk) 22:37, 26 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Reverting undiscussed moves

edit

Hi, just a note that in the context of WP:RMT, a request for revering an undiscussed move usually implies that the move in question was performed in the last couple of days (or weeks, if the article is an obscure one). If an article has been at a stable title for several years, it's probably best to go for an WP:RM discussion. – Uanfala (talk) 10:56, 20 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

WP:UNDUE

edit

Wikipedia does not require people to make accounts, I chose not to make an account. It's not like most names are real or people with accounts always follow the rules either. Wikipedia asks us to take editors on good faith I try to do that too. I think you are showing an over-abundance of caution by excluding Scott Mendelson because he is with Forbes, he's been a recognizable critic for years with FilmThreat and other publications, admittedly he tends to focus more on Box Offices details than film reviews but he does both. (I generally pick critics from Metacritic to avoid claims they aren't notable but maybe I didn't this time, I'm not seeing Mendelson listed there now.)

I added the reviews to the Stuber (film) article, two positive reviews and two negative reviews. Ultimately it not the critic specifically that I am concerned about but the deleting of a review without replacing or expanding the article that is the problem.

By deleting a critic without replacing it or adding more review I think you've unbalanced the reviews and put WP:UNDUE weight on the negative reviews, considering Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic both give mixed scores. I encourage you to replace the review you deleted with one or more reviews. -- 109.78.229.145 (talk) 14:58, 18 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

@109.78.229.145: Wikipedia does not oblige one to add content either. If a content is objectionable we may choose to simply remove the content in question. That does not mean I don't want a substitute; my issue was only with what I removed, not it's more-reliable equivalents. There have been two users who pointed out the unreliability of Forbes Contributors versus one (yourself) that was for it. DA1 (talk) 17:36, 18 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
I don't want to be blamed or for the next guy to delete even more reviews because of undue weight on the negative reviews. Respectfully the removal of the Forbes reference was you both times, but you provided meaningful edit summaries, I disagreed and thought the particular author might be worth the benefit of the doubt, but we disagreed. I see your point and I've learned to be more skeptical of Forbes. Sometimes it just feels like you have to make an edit twice to let people know you did it on purpose. Improving the article is the important point, so I might add other critics instead but since you were clearly acting in good faith I thought it was worth explaining myself a bit further.
The other edits and to the Box Office section were reverted by you and another user but I made slightly different edits each time. At first I tried to clarify by adding more, then I tried to clarify by removing the detail that did not seem relevant. I have tried to make my reasoning clearer on the article talk page if you want to respond there I will check for responses, but I wont be commenting on your personal page after this. Thanks for your time. -- 109.78.229.145 (talk) 02:24, 19 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
@109.78.229.145: If you read the edit summary a few below my first one [2], you'll notice someone admonished Forbes Contributor links as well, it just happened to be a different instance in the same article. DA1 (talk) 08:17, 19 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Use of the "Expert needed" template without category or reason parameters

edit

Hey, I've been doing some maintenance category cleanout and noticed that you added the {{Expert needed}} template to Gravity Games, but you didn't specify a WikiProject category. Not specifying a category makes the template unhelpful, and adds it to the useless Category:Articles needing unspecified expert attention. Additionally, it's crucial to add a reason= parameter, or it will probably be removed because nobody can tell what the problem is. I added a category for you, but please supply parameters when using that template in the future (i.e. {{expert needed|Politics|ex2=Economics|ex3=Finance & Investment|reason=These GDP figures look like they might be miscalculated}}.

Deletion discussion about Byzantine–Sasanian Wars

edit

Hello DA1, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Byzantine–Sasanian Wars, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Byzantine–Sasanian Wars.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Remsense}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
