Hi. Don't know why you'd remove this; it's a language-code site that's been discussed at WikiProject Languages. — kwami (talk) 07:36, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-04-16T07:36:00.000Z","author":"Kwamikagami","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Kwamikagami-2021-04-16T07:36:00.000Z-links_to_www.kreativekorp.com\/clcr\/","replies":[],"displayName":"kwami"}}-->

(For background, we try to tag languages with unique codes so they can be unambiguously identified. Our main sources don't do this for very many conlangs. Some of them probably don't warrant the WP articles they have, but for the ones that do, this site is an attempt to provide codes; it also gives authors, dates and links to websites when available. So it's a good way to ID e.g. one of many "universal languages" or nameless historical languages unambiguously.)

Well, I apologize for labelling it as spam, but the only information it has on Enochian is a link back to the Wikipedia article. The website itself has a list of conlang names and codes, but no explanation of what they're for or how to use them. —VeryRarelyStable 02:46, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-04-17T02:46:00.000Z","author":"VeryRarelyStable","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-VeryRarelyStable-2021-04-17T02:46:00.000Z-links_to_www.kreativekorp.com\/clcr\/","replies":[]}}-->

Hi there! I have recently made a request for an assessment of the article Puppetry of the Penis on various WikiProjects. I have been editing this article for over a month, adding almost 3000 words, new sections, an infobox, media and more references for verifiability. I noticed you were a very active (and helpful) editor of WikiProject Nudity, and was wondering if you had the time if you could have a look at the article and provide me any feedback. Any general feedback would be much appreciated and possibly an assessment of the article for importance and quality. Thank you very much.

Hi VeryRarelyStable, we both have been editing at another user's talk page that's full of warnings. Technically, the user is allowed to blank those warnings on their own talk page. Per WP:OWNTALK, blanking or removal is allowed, with the caveat that removing a warning is an admission that you have seen it. Hope this helps moving forward.

@Firefangledfeathers: I take your point, and I hadn't seen WP:OWNTALK before. That said, I don't think Bearsfan101 is acting in that spirit. They've been edit-warring for the last nine hours, and responding to talk page warnings only by blanking them. I can't help thinking that has a lot to do with the number of "final" warnings they've now racked up; new editors come along to their talk page, see no warnings, and add one. —VeryRarelyStable 04:18, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-07-26T04:18:00.000Z","author":"VeryRarelyStable","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-VeryRarelyStable-2021-07-26T04:18:00.000Z-Firefangledfeathers-2021-07-26T04:05:00.000Z","replies":["c-Firefangledfeathers-2021-07-26T04:21:00.000Z-VeryRarelyStable-2021-07-26T04:18:00.000Z"]}}-->

I've reverted your deletion of Flynn's comments about associative breeding. You've said it was misleading; it isn't in the slightest. Both references cited go into these views at length. Flynn was never shy about his views in this respect and these references are both accurate and contextualised. Moreover, I put it into the 'controversial' remarks section because it's manifestly controversial to have said so recently that black parenting is inferior. best wishes, SteveCree2 (talk) 13:35, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-09-20T13:35:00.000Z","author":"SteveCree2","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-SteveCree2-2021-09-20T13:35:00.000Z-James_Flynn","replies":[]}}-->

Hi VeryRarelyStable, This is a page relating to pertinent information about a suburb and its history not for you to promote your personal beliefs or interests. The fact that a handful of nudists use the beach for their interests is not a major feature of Papamoa's history, its the same reason that a local sports club doesn't write 10 paragraphs about their own sporting history in the Papamoa suburb page. As an example you have dedicated more room to the discussion of the virtues of nudism than the sections on the economy, transport and education combined, and more than the rest of the content of the suburb's culture and history.

This kind of discussion should go on the talk page of the article concerned, not the personal talk page of the editor who reversed your edit. Here I will merely note that there are no less than six source articles by non-naturist publications devoted specifically to Papamoa nudity, which is twice the number of independent source articles recommended as a guideline for when it is appropriate to give a topic its own page. —VeryRarelyStable 05:47, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2022-01-23T05:47:00.000Z","author":"VeryRarelyStable","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-VeryRarelyStable-2022-01-23T05:47:00.000Z-121.98.153.234-2022-01-23T03:07:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

I have made my points on Talk:Shag Point / Matakaea; should anyone produce a cogent counterargument, I will respond. Until then, I have no intention of wasting my time repeating myself. And I think you will find that I have not done so in the last month. Today, I asked one person a question about their choice of words, because I felt that the point they were making rather turned upon the affective impact of that choice of words. I can see how that can be read as hostile; but that is because any disagreement can be read as hostile, which is why we have WP:AGF.

Hey there. The name of the university in Cambridge is University of Cambridge, not Cambridge University. While it may sometimes be colloquially referred to as Cambridge University, that is not the university's name--and this fact is correctly reflected both on the university's website ([1]) and the name of the page on this site. HarvardStuff (talk) 22:58, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20220925225800","author":"HarvardStuff","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-HarvardStuff-20220925225800-University_of_Cambridge","replies":["c-VeryRarelyStable-20220926013700-HarvardStuff-20220925225800"]}}-->

Visiting that site, I see that although the full name is used in the University's logo, it is more often referred to – on the university's own website, no less – simply as "Cambridge".

As for the University's Wikipedia article, the lede section alone mentions a Cambridge University Press, Cambridge University Botanic Garden, Cambridge University Library, and Cambridge University Health Partners – not "University of Cambridge Press", "University of Cambridge Botanic Garden", etc. A quick Google search shows that the BBC and the University's own social media sites also utilize the shorter form "Cambridge University". Clearly it's not as incorrect as all that.

As I would expect, it's similar in that regard to the university where I work, which is the "University of Otago" in full but has an Otago University Press, an Otago University Students' Association, and so on. "Otago University" is a perfectly acceptable shorter form of the name. I see nothing, outside of your own efforts, to indicate that the situation is any different at Cambridge.

Your most recent reversion still mucks up the punctuation: what are the parentheses doing in the phrase "the University of Cambridge's (Magdalene College, 1954–1963)"?

I will be restoring the earlier form of the page after I post this reply.

While wikipedia is not censored, to my knowledge it is not allowed to have illegal images, such as child pornography.

Rest assured, if those images were illegal in the United States where Wikipedia is based, they would have been taken down years ago. Merely showing genitalia is not sufficient to qualify legally as pornography in most jurisdictions; and even if it were, removing these photos from the Wikipedia pages does not erase them from the Wikimedia Commons where they are hosted.

First of all, this sort of discussion should happen at Talk:Grogu where other people can see it in their Watchlist.

Second, you're going to have to show me what you mean by "keeping other characters' titles up to date". What other character has had a change of title recently?

Thirdly, as I already explained in an edit summary, Grogu is not an actual living person but a fictional character. It's not like how King Charles III is no longer Prince of Wales. You can go back and watch the past episodes and look, there's Grogu being a foundling again. What if it turns out that Grogu dies before the events of the Sequel trilogy? Shall we then update his profile to say "deceased"?

Yes...character bios should be kept up to date. When the character was first introduced he was known simply as "The Child" and then that changed when we found out what his name is. Why isn't his page still listed as "The Child"? It was updated to reflect the current status of the character. And yet his nickname of "Baby Yoda" is still allowed to be on the page. His name is not Baby Yoda. Why is that allowed on here? And yet you can't update his page to reflect his new given name of Din Grogu?? That's his name and he's an apprentice.

I am not sure where I have failed to communicate, but let me start with what seems to be the core of the problem.

Wikipedia is written from a real-world perspective, not a within-universe perspective.

In the real world, Grogu is widely referred to as "Baby Yoda" – probably more widely than as "Grogu", even now, by quite a large margin. That is why it goes on his page.

In the real world, Grogu is a fictional character. Grogu exists only within The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, and as a line of dolls.

The timeline of the fictional universe of Star Wars is not the same as the timeline of the real world. If it were, then The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett would be things that happened many years ago, because the latest events we've seen of the Star Wars timeline are those of The Rise of Skywalker.

If some glitch had happened at Lucasfilm or Disney and we were still waiting for The Book of Boba Fett to come out and explain to us how Din Djarin got Grogu back after Luke took him away, the events of The Book of Boba Fett would be in the past in the Star Wars timeline, but they would still be in the future for us.

Come to that, the part of Grogu's life between his rescue from the Jedi Temple and Din Djarin's arrival on Arvala-7 is still in the future for us, if we're ever going to see it at all.

Things which are in the past in the Star Wars timeline are not in our past. They are in our present, as long as they are still available to us on Disney+.

This is an important concept to grasp. Now remember, Wikipedia is written from a real-world perspective, not a within-universe perspective.

That means that the time before Grogu became Din Grogu is not, from a real-world perspective, the past. It is the present.

Therefore, it does not need to be "updated" on the basis that it has stopped being present and become past, the way real-world events do.

Rather, the choice whether to update "Grogu" to "Din Grogu" depends on questions like: What is the character's name for the bulk of the show's run-time? What is his name when he performs the actions that make him a notable character?

So far, he has spent about a minute of run-time as "Din Grogu", and what he's done during that time is play with a frog.

Does that answer your question?

On 23 October, you left a brief comment on Talk:Yellow-eyed_penguin saying that you are opposed to the proposed merge of Waitaha penguin and Megadyptes into the article Yellow-eyed penguin. A lot has happened in that conversation since then, but I haven't heard from you since your original comment.

I've persuaded one other user (who was previously opposed) to support the merge, and I'm hoping that you can be persuaded also. My rational is as follows:

1. Megadyptes waitaha has been reclassified as Megadyptes antipodes waitaha, as shown by DNA studies from 2019^[1] and 2022.^[2] (The other user and I have edited Waitaha penguin and Yellow-eyed penguin accordingly.)
2. Since Megadyptes antipodes is the sole species in its genus, Megadyptes has no reason to exist as a separate article.
3. The stub article Waitaha penguin probably shouldn't exist either, although this is a judgement call. (As for precedent to merge, consider the articles for the New Zealand goose and adzebills. In each case, only one article represents a genus containing two recently extinct species. I suppose there’s not enough information to talk about to merit splitting the articles on the species level, let alone the subspecies level.)

Thank you for your time, and hopefully you'll reconsider like the other user did.

Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.

Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.

Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics.

I'd like an explanation for reverting my revision of Edmund's regal name from King Edmund the Just to King Edmund the Just It's worth noting that Peter Pevensie, Susan Pevensie, Lucy Pevensie and Prince Caspian have their regal names in bold as well. I apologize, but your edit's inconsistency arises from the fact that the regal names of Caspian and the other Pevensie siblings have been in bold for years. Due to this established formatting, the reversal of my edit is perplexing. I implore you to examine any other character in literature on this website with alternate names, and you will likely find that the alternative names are presented in bold.

Hi, I see you've contributed a lot to Maori culture, would you maybe be interested in a taskforce on oral tradition?

Kīoranga, my name is Chas Taurima and I am a board member for the Hokotehi Moriori Trust. We have done a lot of work recently as a people to revive our language, but I am unfamiliar with how Wikipedia works, and I am struggling with how to keep the information in Wikipedia up to date as it is missing a lot of important context and recent developments. Could you please help me better understand your rejection of our submitted changes? As the only practitioners of our language, we are really the only authorities on it, but I struggle with the way it is portrayed on Wikipedia.

Hi Chas, if you have connections with the Moriori Trust than I politely suggest you step away from the article(s).

Editing to promote your organization is strongly discouraged on Wikipedia and I suggest making other improvements to the page (e.g. adding content supported by reliable references). Please be in touch if you need any help.
