On 23 April 2018 You removed the fact that Dorothy Dietrich was proclaimed the "first lady of magic" way before a latter day female magician, partly because "the citation is a tabloid". This does not change the fact that legendary magician Dorothy Dietrich was described with that reference many years before and it was most likely copied from her. No woman in magic, for even the shortest amount of time, would not be aware of the position Dorothy Dietrich has forged in the business as a early groundbreaking pioneer female magician. You as well!

That said women magician is not even in the business and has fallen by the wayside for many years as far as I can tell.

Thought so. I was doing some similar cleanup, and I noticed you took care of several of them already, so I though the coincidence was too high. I usually take care of the following

• A Publication of...
• Digital libraries
• Identifiers (I'm skipping the ISBNs, so do feel free to tackle those)
• Legalese
• Official Journal
• Peer review
• Special Issues
• Weird stuff
• Curly ’

Within a day or two of database updates, so don't spend time on those. Everything else is too numerous for me to quickly tackle, so help there is always appreciated.

Anyway, watch the page, I've been tweaking patterns.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Spicy was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

I had previously marked this as promising because it is a notable topic. I could not evaluate the sources at the time as they were improperly formatted (see history of this page). Now that the references have been fixed it is clear that most of the sources do not meet WP:MEDRS standards - they are largely primary sources, sometimes very old. Furthermore several of the references that I checked do not support the statements made. e.g. ref 9 does not say anything to the effect of "This test is performed by a scientist or lab technician in the laboratory who will then provide the agglutination test results to the doctor or medical professional"; the statement that "The slide agglutination test does not provide quantitative analysis." is referenced to a paper about a quantitative slide agglutination test. I believe what happened here is that the author wrote the article first and then searched for sources to add, rather than writing the article based on the sources, and was not especially careful to check that the sources support the content. Also, there are some obvious errors such as saying that saliva and urine samples are used to detect antigens in the serum and that spinal anesthesia is a method for collecting CSF (??) Unfortunately, while this is a worthy topic I cannot accept it in this state.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Agglutination test and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Agglutination test, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
• If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

@Peaceray and Avraham: Neither the RFC closure statement nor Wikipedia:Citing sources#Parenthetical referencing refer to any particular successor format; rather, both state that conversion should be "into currently accepted formats". That being said, I don't object to someone converting the article to use short footnotes; I was just converting from a deprecated format to a particular well-supported one.

On User:Vahurzpu/Parenthetical editnotices for deletion, most of the articles had been converted to either all or predominately shortened footnote style, but the editnotices had not. I took care of updating the editnotices for those articles to {{Shortened footnote editnotice}}. There were a couple which were mixed style or all regular footnotes, & I took care of blanking those editnotices.

The only one that was on the list that truly had been parenthetical referencing was Wah-wah (music), which you converted to regular footnote style. Only when I have the time, will I revert it then immediately set about converting it to the shortened footnotes that will better suit the original editorial intent.

There was a historical inaccuracy in that shortened footnotes were lumped in with the {{Parenthetical referencing editnotice}}. This was corrected last fall. However, not all editnotices have been updated yet.

I will note that the the Parenthetical referencing editnotice does state If you have previously used this template for pages using the shortened footnote citation style, please switch to the {{Shortened footnote editnotice}}. Similarly, the {{Use Harvard referencing}} template states Please consider using shortened footnotes or another citation style instead, and forgoing the use of this template. I believe that shortened footnotes are generally the best replacement for parenthetical / Harvard referencing.

Hello Vahurzpu, you helped me obtain a Variety page in the past on the ResourceExchange, and I was just wondering is this something you were able to find through the Wikipedia Library? I'm going far back in time at this point to 1980 for The Empire Strikes Back, and my best luck has been on Gale, but that only goes back as far as 1997 in terms of full text.

@Darkwarriorblake: I found it via ProQuest, and at least some subset of ProQuest is available via the Wikipedia Library. However, I typically use my university's subscription, since it's more convenient for me; it's very possible that the article was within the scope of my university's subscription but not TWL's.

Hmmm...I think I did try ProQuest but perhaps my searching was not as precise. Plus the document you got for me was post 1990 so perhaps it's just easier to get more recent stuff. Thanks for the information Vahurzpu, I'll put it to good use!

Yes it's my fault, I was just using the default ProQuest search instead of under magazines. There's like 91000 articles here. Thanks Vahurzpu.

Nothing too major.

On 13 June 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Law of 4 February 1794, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that while France abolished slavery in 1794, Napoleon reinstated it in 1802? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Law of 4 February 1794. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Law of 4 February 1794), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hey. Not sure if you were aware of yesterday's WP:AN#Government_of_Rhodesia_problematic_process_with_consequences_in_real_life (perm link). Just noting how strange I found how this incident unraveled — "only part time in an institution ... unsupervised internet access" — what? I really shouldn't jest about such matters. Still, never a dull moment! PS: I've been to well over half the states in the US, but by far, I've spent the most time in Virginia. Beautiful state. Many fond memories.

@El C: Yeah, that whole situation was pretty confusing. A user in the Discord server (the only one of the regulars there not linked to any particular on-wiki user) posted that link and mentioned their suspicions about potential association with Klaus Bells, as well as the other hoax articles. From there I was able to dig up enough evidence to verify the connections. I will note TNT's closing comment on the SPI, and that Klaus Bells's explanation doesn't seem entirely consistent with their behavior.

I believe it's the most complicated scenario I've waded into so far in my editing career, and it's not over yet. It raised serious doubts about the reliability of "blastingnews.com", which is used hundreds of times across the wiki, and I believe there's still one more account and one more hoax out there, though I'm waiting a bit for more evidence.

@PKT: Sorry about that; I've fixed the issue. It appears that the page was not technically a redirect. For a proper redirect, the "#REDIRECT" line must come at the very beginning, but the short description was interfering with the software recognizing it. Per Wikipedia:Short description#Short descriptions on redirect pages I've moved it to stop that problem. The bot shouldn't mess with it any more (unless it's converted into an article); please let me know if it does.

@1AmNobody24: nope, not intended. I just updated the bot so it should skip things marked for RD1 in the future. That being said, I'm not too worried about it, since once the redaction is complete and the page is a true redirect again, the template will automatically sense that the page is a redirect.

Hi Vahurzpu. If you wanted to expand the scope of task 1, you could remove |class=redirect from all pages, because redirects are always detected automatically so there is no need ever to specify this — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 17:01, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240603170100","author":"MSGJ","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-MSGJ-20240603170100-False_positive?","replies":["c-Vahurzpu-20240604221900-MSGJ-20240603170100"]}}-->

I considered doing this originally, but it would massively expand the scope of the task (editing hundreds of thousands of pages rather than a small handful per week). Also, at least when I wrote the bot, a few templates (MILHIST's among them) couldn't auto-detect redirects. That being said, I think their template now is {{WPBannerMeta}} based, so maybe this would no longer be an issue.

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Hello! Voting in the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 2 December 2024. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2024 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page.
