A message from Rightinforead

Dear FlightTime,

Thank you for your message. I am a student studying at St. Martinus University. It seems that people from other school are targeting our University and hurting the image to recruit students. Our parents get worried when they see negative things about the school when we know that the school is doing well, our graduates are scoring really high in the licensing exams in USA and becoming practicing physicians. Is there a way to report those users or IP addresses to Wikipedia so they don't do it again? Some editor(s) has made our page semi-protected so that people just can't put stuff on it and I thank you for that.

Any suggestion from your side would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Many thanks for your message. I don't want to make mistakes: as someone who has been editing for quite a few years but only occasionally, in short bursts, it has been hard to keep up with the ever-changing protocols for adding images. I'm grateful for any assistance you can offer as basically all I do is follow by rote the last advice I was given by those more experienced.

Blewit (talk) 02:55, 26 August 2018 (UTC) Dozens of American composers have won a Pulitzer Prize in Music before George T. Walker (See Wikipedia Article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulitzer_Prize_for_Music#Winners). He was the first AFRICAN American to win, followed by Wynton Marsalis' controversial win the next year. By omitting the word "African", the statement is factually incorrect. Please change it back. Thank you.

A message from Monstarules

Hi FlightTime. I feel as if my warning was given in error, as the warning was given for "unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory content" on David Hogg's talk page. I didn't post any unsourced suggestions for additions to the page, and the only "poor" source was noted as such, and I only wanted to reference the tweets that were stored on it. If you look at it closely, as well as the comments I made, I didn't say anything biased or opinionated, I was purely pointing out things that he has said. The only thing considered "opinionated" was the article regarding a fellow activist from the Parkland high school.

We're supposed to be an informative website, right? Pointing out the important events, good and bad, is extremely important. Monstarules (talk) 17:06, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

@Monstarules: Sorry you feel that way, but you did violate the BLP guidelines. - FlightTime (open channel) 17:09, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

I'm sorry if I did...But did I really? I've yet to see where exactly. Let's look at the sources I posted, for a start. The 1st source is an opinion not of my own, but regarding a fellow student from Parkland, hosted on a website that is not only politically neutral, but actually tries to stick to the facts. It's relevant because the student, Kyle Kashuv, has been trying to talk to many of the other activists, especially David Hogg, and has been outright refused when he requested a debate. That's a fact that has been mentioned in the news before too. The 2nd source may have been Louder with Crowder's website, but it showcased a very relevant tweet that David Hogg made, and compared it with a Tweet (from Kyle Kashuv) that showcased a much more accurate statistic (checked the data myself, ran the calcs, etc, checked statistics as well) and in the Tweet's comments, David Hogg admits that he didn't separate the information in the bar graph which is a textbook biased graph. I've seen us use sources like that before due to relevant data on the page. The 3rd source was Snopes, and it includes an accurate transcript of audio from an interview regarding the "clear backpacks" issue at Parkland. David Hogg claims that his 1st Ammendment was violated, but the 1st Ammendment pertains to freedom of speech, religion, the right to peacefully congregate and protest, and has nothing to do with school dress codes (which allow for religious exemptions). The fourth source is an article in regards to a controversial action by Publix, and the controversial response of David Hogg, which has stopped Publix from donating to anyone or anything for the time being. It was published by a reputable local Florida newspaper, and contains a lot of information including the response of Publix as well as David Hogg's initial response. The 5th and final source I mentioned was a videotaped interview, where he made several unfounded comments against people he considered to be incompetent. None of that is opinionated, and that's all fact.Monstarules (talk) 17:31, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

I am in WP:METAL. But it’ll be better for me to keep it because I don’t really like the band.. so bye I guess. 21:35, 26 August 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sixty Minute Limit (talk • contribs)

Sixty Minute Limit, Flight Time - There's no requirement of being in a WikiProject to remove a WikiProject tag on the talk page, and per WP:BOLD, there isn't really even a requirement to discuss before removing it either, as long as they stop at the first revert, which SML did. That being said, I can see Flight Time's good-faith concern about the removal as well - the opening sentences of the article mention that they have a controversial connection to the genre, and metal comes up like 15 times for various reasons over the course of an article. I would think that would be enough to at least be tied to the WikiProject in some capacity. They're tied to the metal world, even if they're not usually considered a metal band overall, and that would generally be good enough when it comes to something like WikiProject tags. Sergecross73 msg me 12:39, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

@Sergecross73: There's no requirement of being in a WikiProject to remove a WikiProject tag on the talk page, Well in my opinion there should be. It seems logical that project members should be the only ones adding, removing project tags rating articles ect... casual editors (and most experienced ones) have no idea what the banners and ratings are about, but that's just my opinion and thank you for taking the time to post an explanation, it's appreciated.

GinsuVictim (talk) 19:51, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for watching the Sexual intercourse article. Regarding Sharif Uddin, he is likely to revert me on this, but his addition disrupts the template. And the sexual intercourse listing clearly is not needed there. The Human sexual activity (behavior) article is obviously more fitting since it is specifically about human sexual behavior. It also obviously broaches the topic of sexual intercourse. So if you don't mind keeping a lookout for Sharif Uddin on that likely revert, please do.

FlightTime, I recently changed the photo for singer/guitarist Miles Kennedy. It was quickly reverted back. My reasoning for the photo change was that the old photo was a picture of his face, while the new one was a photo of him singing with his guitar, better reflecting him as a musician. I did not submit any sources for this change, as no sources are needed. the photo is my own work, and was submitted via wiki commons. Let me know if you have any questions!

Re: Editorial changes to Medal of Honor - see the talk page section on Samuel Adler

Hello FlightTime: Just a quick thanks for your help on the talk page for the article Medal of Honor - Just a quick request --- If you have some time kindly take a look at the Talk:Medal of Honor section of the article Medal of Honor (See the Samuel Adler section on the talk page). Apparently a question has arisen as to the quality and/or suitability of references which have been cited to support the inclusion of the German/American composer Samuel Adler (composer) as a recipient of an unusual Medal of Honor for services to Music (as opposed to combat services) as directed by General Dweight D. Eisenhower circa 1953 in post World War II Germany. Perhaps as an experienced Master Editor III you might be able to share your expertise in the discussion in order to determine whether the references which have been cited are suitable to support the reference to Adler in the article.

Prince's posthumous projects

@FlightTime: I saw you reverted my deletion because of unexplained content removal. But I explained the removal in the edit summary by saying: "Auction removed. This section is about his posthumous musical legacy, not about auctions and the such." How and/or where could I have explained it better? By reverting my contribution you (accidentally?) also removed my additions 'Anthology: 1995–2010' and 'Piano and a Microphone 1983'. I will take the deletion of the paragraph about the auction to the talk page and I again added the above mentioned additions.DJ FunkFunk 19:47, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

A message from TRBoyle

@FlightTime:, I edited the Night Ranger article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Ranger) because in the first paragraph, it states that the song "Sister Christian" was written by Evan Adams (I don't know who that is). However, if you navigate to the "Sister Christian" article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sister_Christian), it states, "It was written and sung by the band's drummer, Kelly Keagy, for his sister." Also in the infobox for the song, the songwriter is listed as "Kelly Keagy". I feel like the information on the Night Ranger page should not contradict the song's page, so I removed the name "Evan Adams" - especially since there is no reference source to back it up. Thank you, TRBoyle TRBoyle (talk) 17:51, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

@TRBoyle: Then please add this reference to your change . Thank you, - FlightTime Phone (open channel) 18:01, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

A message from Couillaud

You have twice in 10 minutes made a change to the page Larry Lester without explanation, except that it used Twinkle the second time. user "BulletRogan" actually IS the subject of the article (he's a prominent Negro Leagues baseball researcher and writer), and was making a couple of minor changes, and you've twice changed the section header "As an editor/writer" to "As an editor". Is there a specific reason why that is wrong? I've been editing on WP for over 10 years, and there are still things that catch me. It's the second time since I created this article that I've been "twinkled". -- Couillaud 18:40, 26 September 2018 (UTC) Couillaud 18:40, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

@Couillaud: Well, if you've been here for ten years, then you should know that if BulletRogan is the article subject then they have a COI and shouldn't be editing the article at all. - FlightTime Phone (open channel) 18:46, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Didn't say I've been doing 10 years constantly, but I do recall that I've seen a few professional musicians add material to their own articles, making corrections, or adding information about their body of work. I was under the impression that they couldn't INITIATE their own articles, and that they couldn't do massive updates for self-promotion. I also heard stories of several politicians who were caught editing out unflattering (but true) information from their own articles, but I did not know that was a hard and fast rule now. If that is true, I will inform him, and do the edits myself.

BTW, you did not answer my question why the "As an editor/writer" got dinged twice. --- Couillaud 19:03, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

@Couillaud: Please review Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#COI editing, also if you know BulletRogan personally as you seem to infer, you also have a conflict of interest. - FlightTime Phone (open channel) 15:23, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

FlightTime, I have read the COI rules.

He is sort of a colleague, as we both do Negro Leagues research and both share our work with a pool of other researchers. I do know him personally, having bought eight of his nine books, and have met him a few times at {Society for American Baseball Research|SABR]] conventions over the years, a couple of events at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, and we're on a couple of the same e-lists (our prime form of contact), but I am unsure that in and of itself, that constitutes a COI; I would hope that infrequent contacts does not define meet a definition of "friend", at least by Wiki standards. You will have to tell me whether it does or not.

I was asked to do this by another entity, not because I know the subject particularly, but simply because I have some writing experience, and am probably the best-versed among my researching brethren in doing Wikipedia (most of my editing work has been in Negro Leagues baseball, and I've used some of his books as a source).

Does my association with the subject constitute a "friends" COI? Is there still a problem, and can it be ameliorated? I can cease making further edits, and inform him that he cannot; but is there a way to save the article itself from deletion? The Venn diagram of reasonably competent Wikipedia editors and serious students of Negro Leagues baseball has a pretty small intersection; I was asked to do this because I'm part of said intersection. While I agreed that he should be considered is as notable many other baseball writers with bio pages, there are few outside my background who would think to create the article without being approached first.

Should I submit it to "Articles for Creation", a process of which I know little? Should I approach one of the handful of other baseball editors on WP to submit it? How is this resolved? --- Couillaud 18:06, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

Templates

Just as a request: if you are going to continue the fight against the "genre warriors", would you mind actually explaining to them why you are reverting them: I've created a template for myself at User:TonyBallioni/Genre warning that I plan on using whenever someone raises an issue, and you're free to tweak it if you want (it's a bit specific to me since I can block if they don't listen). If you did something like this, where it was actually explained to new users what your concerns were with their edits and how to get involved in the dispute resolution process, people like Ritchie333, RoySmith, and myself would be probably be much more likely to block when things get out of hand. I'm pretty sure Ritchie and I have told you this before, but I wanted to show you an example of what is more likely to get action at ANI. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:17, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

@TonyBallioni: I have User:FlightTime/Uw-genre1. - FlightTime (open channel) 21:21, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

@Swarm: thank you so very much. If they cannot get "the message" that something they're doing is wrong by reading those standard warnings templates or mine linked above, then it's in the WP:CIR area. - FlightTime (open channel) 21:25, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

Maybe it's that my work here started in AfC and NPP, but citing content, especially for new users and IPs is really hard, and this might be a shock, but many of them don't even know how to click Wikilinks. It is not at all intuitive, and when we advertise ourselves as the encyclopedia anyone can edit, people are naturally going to think "Hey, this band I like is Grunge Rock but it doesn't say this, let me help it out!" Like I replied to Swarm, there is literally no other area of the encyclopedia where we enforce WP:V this strictly with blocks, even on BLPs (and I'll be the first to make a quick BLP block when needed.)

I respect Swarm a lot and appreciate his views on it, but I know there are other admins who don't like being involved in drama who ignore these reports that they would otherwise decline because they're afraid of getting yelled at (I've had several tell me this off-wiki). Our ideal here should be educating new users on how to edit constructively, and if that doesn't work, blocking them. I think there is a point where blocks are needed, but I also think we should give people a chance first. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:40, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

• Also, we edit conflicted, but maybe consider explaining to new users how to cite sources in your first warning? That's the big thing here: you'd really be surprised how many people simply don't get the technical aspects of that. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:44, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

@TonyBallioni: Well, along your lines of Afc & NPP I deal with RC's (I don't monitor Special:RecentChanges) on my watchlist and 99.5% of that and the same percentage of genre changes are drive by changes, those editors (really not editors just visitors) don't give a shit about references, disruptive editing and wiki rules. I understand and respect your views, but the changes I daily deal with are people I just described. - FlightTime (open channel) 23:10, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

I think we have a strong philosophical disagreement on the "visitor" vs. "editor" distinction (my general view is that the vandalizing IP today can be an admin in 12 months, if that frames it), but nothing where there can't be a practical middle ground found. Anyway, if you've seen Swarm's suggestions, the easiest thing here is just to update the templates to explain to these users how to actually cite stuff. If they don't care, it'll make bleeding hearts like me say "Damn, FlightTime, how could we have been so dumb. You're right." and if my assumption of good faith here (or, better explained, remembering how hard learning Wikimarkup can be) is right, then we gain new contributors. TonyBallioni (talk) 23:15, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

@TonyBallioni: If you're referring to User talk:TonyBallioni/Test1 I haven't read it completely, but I agree that the templates might need re-wording and would support such a project. As you suggested I might add (and adapt) your template User:TonyBallioni/Genre warning to my Twinkle custom warnings. See User:FlightTime/TB genre notice I'll make some changes tomorrow, I'm kinda done thinking for today. Have a great night. cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 00:19, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

A message from Colesa123 Concerning Questions about Sources and Citations

Hi! Hello! You recently reverted my changes on the Billy Redden wiki page, which is totally fine. I did not cite any of those things. I am very new to Wikipedia. I tried to check out the help pages to figure out just what is and is not a credible source to cite when making such changes, but there is no real good definition I could find in the help section. Does a web page for our movie work? An IMDB page? A review of the film? Only an academic journal? A transcript of the movie? Photos of Redden at the LA premier? What would you need?

And I also do not really understand the weird language that is used in many of these pages for editing. Is there a help page for that, too?

Thanks!

Reverted good faith edit. Phoebe is not a large moon of Saturn - it's barely larger than 200 km in diameter. It's not even round.

Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, Titan, and Iapetus are the only rounded moons of Saturn, and this is indicated in the article. All are larger. Phoebe is not even the largest moon that comes next - that would be Hyperion. And no one refers to Hyperion as a large moon. And although Phoebe is larger than the other irregular moons of Saturn (Siarnaq is next at 40 km), Phoebe is still small enough to not be considered a large moon. 108.160.125.102 (talk) 00:00, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
