Em dashes
[edit]Per WP:MOSDASH, em dashes are used without offsetting spaces or en dashes are used with them. I've corrected the changes you made to RADIUS. — UncleBubba ( T @ C ) 19:37, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks! I left the spacing as I found it. It could also be changed to en dashes I suppose. But hyphens are not correct. Kendall-K1 (talk) 14:48, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 28
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited ThinkPad, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page David Hill (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Flickr RFC
[edit]Hi, as a recent past editor, wondering if you might be able to chime in on the Flickr talk page to help resolve an extended dispute. Jakerome (talk) 16:01, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
Damn dude, I put the description of the new service in the history section because another user kept deleting anything with a mildly positive bent. Right now there are about 2 sentences describing the changes, and about 10 sentences describing the reaction to them. Doesn't that seem out of whack? Jakerome (talk) 21:00, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
- Yes. Right now Pogue is the only non-Yahoo positive remark. If you want to add some of the others to the Controversy section I'll support you. The PC Mag or Verge quotes would be good, just be sure you attribute them. Kendall-K1 (talk) 00:30, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
- Will do. I still think it's preposterous that there's this 3 paragraph discussion of a controversy surrounding the site redesign while the redesign itself is scarcely described. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jakerome (talk • contribs) 01:02, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
- Also, while it's been fun for a bit, I'm pretty much done editing the article. I've been repeatedly & rudely attacked by a user that has (almost certainly) gone to the Flickr Help forum on multiple occasions asking for users to add more negative criticisms to the article. It's just not worth the effort. Good luck. Jakerome (talk) 01:09, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
Snowden Credibility Question
[edit]Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. (I guess we are supposed to say that.) I'm relatively inexperienced, though not "new". Regarding your comments in the Snowden article, if you are reacting to what appears to be a full-on nitpicking smear campaign on every little detail of Snowden's statements and supposed "contradictions" as an indicator of his credibility, I agree with you and have been monitoring the situation. However none of it has adversely impacted the article itself and so I have not made an issue of it. The best way for you to maintain balance is to remain involved in the edit process and "speak up" only when the situation warrants action. Otherwise, you feed into the negative dynamic and give it energy.Jonny Quick (talk) 05:26, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

[edit]Please don't tell me what I write is or isn't allowed for the Edward Snowden page. You are not in a position to tell others as this is a wikipedia page, not your own page. I suggest you get off your high horse because we are all equals here. If you continue to make edits and threats, your wikipedia privileges may be revoked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.113.24 (talk) 06:47, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

If US census records alone are not sufficient to establish year of birth as per one activist editor (User: Radiohist), then how about IMDb? That would provide a secondary source. The editor in question stated that info gleaned from Ancestry.com records is "unreliable", tacitly implying an intention ("... the same goes for some other Ancestry-sourced articles in Wiki") to revise other articles and undo other editors' work, while pursuing his/her agenda, which includes referring to denying Grant's "plea" (transmuted apparently via Radiohist, "who doesn't know the lady") re publishing the true year of birth as a form of "rape" (see here, and here), which is amazingly offensive, in my opinion. Is this broad opinion shared by yourself? Just curious. Yours, Quis separabit? 19:52, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
- This smells like an edit war. Can't quite understand whether you are being sarcastic about imdb, since it is unreliable and has that date down just because it was on Wikipedia. Am a "his", it is a fact that ancestry is not considered a reliable source, for instance in June Foray's article, the 1920 census is mentioned alongside a Los Angeles Times article, and last but definetely least, I used "rape" as a metaphore meaning that you are doing things against her wish. Contrary to your opinion, I really don't know Grant, just see a violation and injustice to Wikipedia's policy concerning personal information of public figure. Did you see any violations or injustice and please suppress your hostility.Radiohist (talk) 20:07, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
- Your use of the word rape is unbelievably offensive and if you were an adult would apologize for it. This is not an edit war I started, this is your obsessive stalking of my edits. And IMDb has a policy of not relying on Wikipedia, which IMDb regards as insufficiently reliable and unsupervised. IMDb is relying on the census records, obviously. Quis separabit? 20:55, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
- Apologise for my use of the word rape in a metaphorical sense. It is a 100% lie that I am stalking you, this is something that have been working on for a long time to synchronise the Lee Grant article with Wikipedia's guidelines. Your behaviour right now is a clear violation of Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not about winning and WP:Battleground Radiohist (talk) 21:14, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
- I am glad you finally (albeit half-heartedly) apologised. However, you are mistaken. I fully accept that Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not about winning and that it should not be a battleground. When I see that I am wrong about something, I admit it and own up to it. I have made plenty of mistakes and always admit when I am wrong if I see I am wrong. Quis separabit? 21:35, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
- IMDb is not using census records for Kath Soucie's mistaken birthdate, it is relying on Wikipedia. Radiohist (talk) 22:22, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
Kath Soucie has no birthdate at IMDb.IMDb states clearly when one tries to update biodata there that Wikipedia alone is insufficiently reliable and unsupervised. How do you know the Soucie info is incorrect?? Quis separabit? 22:40, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Amanda Bynes
[edit]Hey, Kendall K. Just noticed your edit summary for Amanda Bynes asking whether TMZ is considered a reliable source. In a word, no, it's not. The trouble here (and in a lot of BLPs), is that while the basic info is likely true, the allegations are too serious to be supported by a non-RS publication and many of the more respectable organizations won't touch the story. I looked for a better source and came across this recent piece from the Guardian which makes for interesting reading: When we're used to seeing actresses, pop stars and models as part of an assembly line of real-life Barbie dolls, it becomes all the more interesting to see one with go by with her head popped off.
She has threatened to sue In Touch magazine, Us Weekly, TMZ, the New York Police Department and a variety of other entities...TMZ updates its website practically every time Bynes tweets.
I suppose I'm doing my part by even writing about Amanda Bynes in the first place.
Anyway, I've replaced the TMZ ref with a NY Daily News one which I'm not crazy about either, but it is slightly better. Also if possible try to give the author and the source when you add bits, not just the SCREAMING TITLES, the extra info can help the reader/editor decide for themselves how much weight to give a statement. If you can't find a really good source then I'd recommend not adding stuff, they can go to places like TMZ to find out what they like. -- Tabloid Terminator kill / Hillbillyholiday talk 00:46, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'm still not terribly happy, because the Daily News attributes the at least some of this material to anonymous sources, and WP:BLP says "Be wary of sources that use weasel words and that attribute material to anonymous sources." Great username, by the way. Kendall-K1 (talk) 01:06, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
- Oop, I should have noticed the source didn't quite support the sentence. There are multiple outlets reporting it so I'm content to let it slide for now, although they could all be traced back to the same anonymous tip-off. Cheers, I'm building up a collection of vaguely amusing usernames, eg. User:Cůntybaws! -- Hillbillyholiday talk 02:09, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
Copying text from one article to another
[edit]Hi. Just so you know, for copyright reasons, when copying text from one article to another you should add the template Template:Copied to the talk pages of both articles.

james clapper page
[edit]Hi, looks like we thought the same thing was relevant on the James R. Clapper page. I saw you added the same sentence that i did a week earlier [[2]] Yours is probably better/ shorter, but in terms of where to position it I am not so sure.
I still think the "in the media section" is oddly placed,kind of in the way; hey the whole perjury thing was "in the media". now snowden's comment is in the media.you see what I mean? it's a bag of things and if anything should go to the end in my opinion. see talk page [[3]] --Wuerzele (talk) 04:55, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
- Oops, sorry about that. I guess I see it as a "response." It doesn't belong in there twice. What do you want to do?
- "In the media" definitely doesn't belong, it's stupid. Suggest we continue this discussion on the article talk page. Kendall-K1 (talk) 11:55, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Privyet rel Viktor Yanukovych
[edit]Hi there fellow editor, ' Just a note to say I didn't realize at the time of my editing it was you who deleted the descriptive info rel what Donetsk Oblast is. If I had known it was you, I would have at least toned down my edit summary or probably just left it deleted. You've spent huge amounts of time and effort to improve the VY article, and deserve buku THANKS! I as well as no doubt many others in the community appreciate your excellent efforts, regardless of the convergence or divergence of our various political views. Feel free if you really don't think it belongs, to remove it again. It's a minor thing. Best, Paavo273 (talk) 20:04, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
- You mean the part about it being "a province in eastern Ukraine"? I did not remove that on purpose, in fact I think it's better to have that in. All I did was to notice that the paragraph was in there twice, and I removed one of the two copies. Apparently the two versions were slightly different and I removed the wrong copy! You can see that here: [4] Thanks for the note, I am perfectly happy with the current wording. Kendall-K1 (talk) 20:24, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
- thank you for your support today re VY edits. Perhaps there is a barnstar in this? GerixAu (talk) 11:13, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
Hello
You deleted a paragraph I added ("Some US individuals assert American ownership of Jeannette, Henrietta and Bennet Islands in the De long group. This assertion is not supported by the US government") in the Sovereignty section, with the edit summary "there is no evidence for this".
What is it you are saying there no evidence of; that some US individuals assert American ownership, or that this assertion is not supported by the US government? Xyl 54 (talk) 23:00, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
- That some US individuals assert American ownership, obviously. The US govt has disclaimed ownership. You can put it back in if you want, and I'll add a cn template. Kendall-K1 (talk) 00:07, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
- Ah! The US individuals who assert American ownership are these, here.
- There were lengthy explanations in the articles on each of the islands mentioned, and the material keeps coming and going across the board. I was wanting to trim the content down in most cases to a short statement, and have a full explanation on just one page. Hence the sovereignty section at De Long Islands (which was carved out of what was already there) and the summary paragraph (and edit note) elsewhere (here, for example).
- My question was because I didn’t know if you were arguing for or against the SDW position. As the issue has been raised we ought to have something; as it is something of a fringe opinion it should be kept to a minimum, IMHO. I'd be inclined to have the summary back in at the De Long Islands article; if it needs a citation, how about the SDW link? Xyl 54 (talk) 22:58, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
- Just to let you know, I’ve put the line back in, with the sources I mentioned. I trust that is OK with you. Xyl 54 (talk) 13:55, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for putting in the cites, and sorry for the late reply, I've been out of town. Personally I think it's too fringe for inclusion, especially given that the sources are anonymous, but I'll go along with what we have now. I don't argue for or against positions like this, I argue for improving WP content. Kendall-K1 (talk) 05:20, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

Hathaway
[edit]This was in the article for months. Why did you not have a problem with it then? I had also mentioned in on the Talk page in the past and you never complained. The material here has been noted by both the Atlantic and the Associated Press. If it is truly "trivial" then it is hardly worth edit warring over, no? You truly think this article has got it right in terms of POV, sourcing, etc such that getting rid of remarks you basically concede don't hurt anything and are just unnecessary extra is the highest priority? If I have a hard time finding your objection here bona fide, it's because I'd taking your complaint about going on and on about Snowden stranded in Moscow in the introduction as bone fide. I would think you would be edit warring get rid of "... because the United States had canceled his passport" in the lede if you wanted to edit war. John Valeron and I agreed long ago that we simply do not need to try and use the lede to blame the U.S. at all for Snowden being in Russia. Just say what did happen instead of trying to explain it as due to either Snowden, Russia, or the U.S. You've suggested that only one editor seems to want the "Havana asked Moscow not to let him on the plane" stuff. But you leave aside something supported by one to remove material supported by AT LEAST Valeron and I? In any case, I am more than willing to open a request for comment, but it makes no sense to do without first requesting your comment.--Brian Dell (talk) 15:32, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
- I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say. I don't like edit wars and try to avoid them myself. I do think there is too much bias in the article, and I do think removing the trivial, the synth, and the poorly sourced is a priority, at least for me. Kendall-K1 (talk) 15:53, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
- You don't like fighting but you double down on the confrontation by trying to get me blocked? I have opened a Request for Comment here in an effort to get more people involved. If you are not sure what I am saying on this page, perhaps what I say over there is clearer. When you prefer opening a prosecution against another editor in an effort to get them blocked INSTEAD of opening an RfC like I just did, I dare say you aren't actually all that averse to battling. I'll add that dubious sourcing is a more important concern than giving the reader too much solidly sourced information, at least in my view.--Brian Dell (talk)
"stick to the discussion at hand"
[edit]It's not clear to me what you are asking for here. I advised John that we might be offside consensus given the views you've expressed in the past. You see something else there? Or is your complaint that I signalled you here? If you don't want to be mentioned I will cease and desist with the notifications.--Brian Dell (talk) 15:02, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

How to engage an editor in discussion?
[edit]![]() | This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can , contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse. |
I've reverted another editor several times at Tetraethyllead for adding material that is not in the cited source. I'm approaching 3RR so I need to stop now. The problem is that I can't get the other editor engaged in a discussion, despite notices on two of his talk pages (it's an IP editor) and the article talk page. All the advice I can find, for example at WP:AVOIDEDITWAR, suggests discussing the dispute, and asking for other opinions if disussion doesn't work. But what do you do if you can't even discuss? Kendall-K1 (talk) 20:00, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
- The other editor did reply. Since this appears to be an inexperienced good-faith editor, my suggestion would be:
- Reply on their talk page, explain both why the content is inappropriate despite the source and that the article talk page is a better place for such discussions, provide links.
- Explicitly warn them that reverting over and over again is considered edit-warring and can lead to a block.
- If they persist, go to WP:ANEW.
- NickW557 has by now also reverted the IP editor's changes, so the two of you should be able to keep the inappropriate content out of the article without breaching 3RR. Huon (talk) 20:49, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

I would like to cite the Capitol Albums portion of the Lombardo albums discography, but here is the problem: they are from bsnpubs as part of their incomplete (as of 2011) Capitol discographies, and exist in PDF form. Can I cite an incomplete PDF form? The Pickwick albums discography comes from eBay. Should it be removed?
Another problem, maybe: The singles discography isn't really a discography, it's just a listing of the singles that made the "top ten" ... you earlier suggested noting that this list is a partial singles discography, but I have no idea as to how this should be presented.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability 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, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Dachau concentration camp
[edit]Re: your edit, was wondering about the Attribution template - are you saying that proof/cites/refs that Nazis destroyed the records (for this reason) are needed or that proof/cites/refs that Dr. Berger made this statement are needed. Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 20:05, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
- Because it's a quote, we just need to know who said this. It's implied in the footnote that it was Dr. Berger, but that should be made explicit in the text, something like "Dr. Berger, author of a study blah blah, said records "were destroyed 'in an attempt to conceal the atrocities.'" Kendall-K1 (talk) 15:29, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
- Another editor fixed this, then unfixed it... Berger is the source of the quote, right? He wasn't quoting someone else? Kendall-K1 (talk) 22:47, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
- I think I have it fixed up now, yes, Berger was the source. Shearonink (talk) 00:51, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Lenovo
[edit]Hi Kendall-K1, regarding the recent edits by IP editors on Lenovo:
If you remember, extensive vandalism was performed on Lenovo and Hewlett-Packard back in May 2015, by EricXu100 and 24.185.91.8, both claiming "HP is the worst computer maker ever" (here, and here) while blanking the page of the HP article, and "Lenovo is the #1 computer technology company worldwide" (here and here) on the Lenovo article. Both EricXu100 and 24.185.91.8 were subsequently blocked from editing.
Then, starting in November 2015, a newly registered user called Ericxux333general (Note the username) and IP editor 72.68.154.154 started making unexplained and unfounded edits on Lenovo by deleting its country of origin (here and here).
A Geolocate shows that both 24.185.91.8 and 72.68.154.154 are located in Brooklyn, NYC, with the geo-coordinates matching exactly. Therefore, it is certain the all four editors involved are one and the same person. Considering its previous editing record, I believe there is no need to treat its edits seriously.
-JesseW900 (talk) 11:10, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

About recent edits on the subject Hagia Sophia
[edit]"At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Hagia Sophia, did not appear to be constructive and has been or will be reverted or removed." I have a PhD on Early Byzantine Architecture, so I am well aware of what I am writing and what's more, I directly referenced the two leading experts of the whole modern era on this subject, even revised the sentence in question. I strongly advise you to read the book sections that were referenced. Therefore, a relentless request for the clarification would be absurd. The section I edited was misleading for anyone, from casual readers to students and was not based on any reference. Now it is not.

- I assume there is a Wikipedia policy somewhere that covers splitting articles and that what we did does not conform to the policy. I have renamed articles before but never done any splitting like this. So far he has just asserted that things must be done his way without pointing to the policy. But he has now opened a rename discusssion and at least one other editor has joined in, so maybe things will get sorted out now. Kendall-K1 (talk) 13:53, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks, I don't believe I had split an article, I created one from scratch on a subject that did not exist. I am not happy with his just erasing the page. Ânes-pur-sàng - À la perchoine 16:10, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
- It looks like there has been some movement and I think your article has been restored under a different name. I hope this will all work itself out in the next few days. Kendall-K1 (talk) 16:12, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
- Kendall-K1, I didn't expect the shit storm that followed to happen. If I had known I wouldn't have undid your reorganisation (which was problematic, but certainly not as bad as what has happened now). I am really sorry. I am going to leave this to you two, so good luck with dealing with BushelCandle. Rob984 (talk) 23:04, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
- Well it wasn't really "my" reorganisation although I did try to help out to the best of my abilities. No worries, it will settle out soon and I can get back to editing. Thanks. Kendall-K1 (talk) 23:30, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
HMS Victory
[edit]I've left a message on this fellow's talk page, along with some notices. He clearly doesn't get it. No edit summaries, no sources, mass changes, no consensus, edit warring, refusing to go to talk page, etc. I've also asked for temporary page protection. FYI - theWOLFchild 19:12, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
- He's obviously not completely new to editing, knows how to pipe links for example. Not sure what's going on but I'm trying to assume good faith. I've made some cleanup edits but if they have to be reverted to get back to an earlier version that's ok with me. Kendall-K1 (talk) 19:17, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
- He's past the point of AGF. Refusing to go to the talk page, edit warring, refusing to follow even the most basic of editing principles... I say the article gets restored back to where it was before he came along and stays that way until he follows the rules (or at least communicates and explains himself). What he's doing is tantamount to vandalism. People can't just continually ram in any edits they feel like. - theWOLFchild 19:28, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
- I wouldn't say he's refusing, he's just not responding. He's on mobile, I don't know what the interface is like there, maybe he doesn't get the big yellow "you have new messages" box like I do? Anyway he's on about UW level three now, so if it doesn't stop I think we can get a temporary block. And the damage can always be undone. Kendall-K1 (talk) 19:39, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
- Agreed. I guess we'll just keep an eye on it for now. - theWOLFchild 20:00, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

USS Stennis
[edit]Fremantle is part of the Perth metropolitan area. The ship anchored off Fremantle so the sailors could visit Perth... that was the Port of Call. I don't see the need to add a questionable source with the title "US Sailors Wear Out Sex Workers" when that so-called story has nothing to do with the article. If you really felt a source absolutely needed to mention Fremantle, then why not find a different, more appropriate source? I put "uss john c stennis fremantle 2002
" into Google and found all kinds of sources. I have since added one and hope we can now let this issue lay. Cheers - theWOLFchild 02:23, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi @Kendall-K1: You have removed a few listed cocktails from List of cocktails because they were under the wrong primary ingredient. Can I ask that you move them instead to the correct primary ingredient. Your removal of Glowtini for example left it as an orphan article. I have put it back but now under vodka. If this is still not correct please feel free to move it, but please do not remove them from the list entirely. You probably also need to reinstate the others you removed but under their correct primary ingredient. Cheers. Eno Lirpa (talk) 15:47, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

ARTICLE UP FOR DELETION - Editing Suggestions
[edit]**Article for Deletion** Sent this message to David Eppstein as well - as the two of you undoubtedly offered the most constructive comments on the talk thread.
New to Wikipedia, and made the mistake of signing up with my boutique agency name. Was hoping to have come across non-promotional and unbiased, but as written below, suppose this is a common problem for those who have a COI (we handle her social media profile)! If you have any suggestions/notes regarding a rewrite or moving the article to draft space for others to edit, that would be extremely helpful as this article was not written with intent of promotion/advertising, but as an informative piece on a local Canadian academic.
[[ Hi there. Recently submitted this post with no intention of it being overly promotional, which of course is a typical COI problem. As per your suggestion of a rewrite to remove any promotional wording (though I see a few editors have already made minor changes), was wondering if you could be of help in this area - being a completely unbiased source? I would look to provide the necessary citations where possible, of course! A bit difficult as not everything is online, but would do so to the best of my ability. However, I'm sure you are plenty busy, so perhaps you could suggest a way to move forward i.e. moving this post into a draft space for others to edit?
Thanks so much for your time, and also for not being as harsh as some others. I look forward to hearing back from you! ]]
Cheers. Hope to hear back!
... On another note, just got a message back from David Eppstein on the thread - is reaching out on user talk pages against the rules on Wikipedia?? Genuinely big apologies if so.. but would be helpful if you could let me know. Will refrain from doing so again if that is the case.

About MRM editions
[edit]Hello Kendall, I just pressed undo to your edition. It is not fair to say that the sentence contradicts the "Relation to feminism" section when the sectence is actually an introduction for that section and the "Female privilege". This is what the reference says:
"Indeed the premise of all men's rights literature is that men are not privileged relative to women... Having denied that men are privileged relative to women, this movement divides into those who believe that men and women are equally harmed by sexism and those who believe that society has become a bastion of female privilege and male degradation."
I will gladly read your explanation about how "... claims that men had not greater power, privilege or advantage than women and the women's movement has harmed men's rights beyond the equality or either both men and women are harmed by sexism.." contradicts the quotation and "claims that men have greater power, privilege or advantage than women" does not.
About the contest, I never received a message talking about a contest, I will read the post about it if you give me a link or a reference.
Thank you very much.
My best regards.
- OP doesn't seem to know what "contest" means. I have left a message on their page about that and will block for edit warring if they revert again. I think WP:CIR balances out WP:INVOLVED here. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:44, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Stolichnaya
[edit]Thanks for tidying this up, it was my first attempt to add a sound file. But what I really wanted to do was embed it inline with the little loudspeaker logo - I got confused between the many examples and templates. In the end I let it stand although the layout is less than perfect as the current format clearly identifies the urban speaker and the expat. If you're interested in Russian pronunciation, I rely on my linguist friend R. Dickson, who tells me the first a in Stolichnaya has dropped to a schwa in Moscow (& presumably in similar words).D Anthony Patriarche (talk) 22:18, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
- @D Anthony Patriarche: I noticed that. It really surprised me. My high school Russian teacher emigrated in the 1940s, and the first time I was in Russia I had people tell me that I talked like a hick. That "urban" pronunciation sounds very foreign to me. Language does evolve.
- As for the loudspeaker logo, can you point me to an example in another article that shows what you want? Maybe I could take a stab at it. In general you can't embed File links in a sentence or even a paragraph, because they cause an implied paragraph break. Kendall-K1 (talk) 23:35, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Why do you insist on using paywalled sources (e.g. NY Times)?
[edit]In the article about Sergey Aleynikov, you insist on referencing paywalled sources (NYTimes), while removing publicly viewable ones with the same info. You argue that NYTimes is a better source, but how can one be sure since not everyone can even read it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by StrokeOfMidnight (talk • contribs) 23:04, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
- I don't remember removing any sources. Can you point me to a diff? As to the reliability of the New York Times, see WP:NEWSORG for how we decide if a news source is reliable, and The New York Times for history and current status of this newspaper. Kendall-K1 (talk) 23:36, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

[edit]Thanks for the MOS link. Personally, I've always found those uses of commas unnecessarily cluttered. But if it's MOS, it's MOS! ... richi (hello) 18:00, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

- It's a side-effect of the script I use to remove space before a ref. I'll try to suppress it. Kendall-K1 (talk) 11:18, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
- I appreciate it. It's a silly thing to get too upset about, of course, but it does look sort of provocative. I understand now that that was not the intent. --Trovatore (talk) 21:13, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
Your revert of my "Ship's complement" param edit - Nov. 2016
[edit]Most of my edits over the past 8+ years arise from articles I just happened to be reading for informational purposes. Fixing typos/letterspacing, malformed cites & templates params, and clarifying ambiguities rank highest in my Edit Summaries.
Before I made the edit in question (since the Infobox template renders "Ship complement=" as merely "Complement", and seeing mere numbers as the parameter was vague in meaning to this reader), I looked at 2 other U-Boat Class articles whose Infobox's made it clear, by nouns, that it indicated people (and not something like "complement of guns" – from First-rate).
Although you were kind enough to supply links to the appropriate Infobox template & doc, had you scrolled further down the Infobox examples shown, you'd have seen both the USS Wisconsin & USS West Virginia have "officers and men" added to the Complement value. Two out of the 3 examples belie your argument.
And since warships don't merit the more obvious "Ship crew=" param (merchant-class only, apparently), I'm not the only editor who feels the need for a clarifying noun or two.
Wikipedia has a long-standing mantra of writing articles for the average reader (not just, in this case, for nautical types or war-buffs). I felt it wasn't clear to a layman. I clarified it.

Incorrect merge
[edit]Hi, you've recently merged Disability in the American Community Survey into the wrong target article. Per the merge discussion it is suposed to be merged into the "Demographics" section of Disability in the United States where it would be a valuable addition of essential information. Where it has no been merged American Community Survey it is simply WP:UNDUE as disability is only one of a wide range of topics in the community survey. I will request help from an admin to fix it. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 18:13, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- I managed to undo the merge without help from an admin, it was easier than I expected. However I'm now having problems accessing the US Census website to get the actual survey results and reports, so I'm currently unable to do the (correct) merge. Adding a discussion about the survey without giving the actual numbers to the Disability in the United States article is rather pointless, so I will try again later. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 18:37, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks for your help. Kendall-K1 (talk) 21:07, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Diesel fuel definition explanation
[edit]Hi
I think it is misleading to define diesel as "any liquid fuel used in diesel engines". Most marine engines are also diesel engines but they are not build to use diesel fuel instead they use Heavy Fuel Oil-s like RMB, IFO or MGO http://www.wartsila.com/products/marine-oil-gas/engines-generating-sets/diesel-engines Wartsila
All EU countries define diesel by distillation curve.
Please see the difference in gas oil and fuel oil:
"(e) ‘gas oils’ (subheadings 2710 19 31 to 2710 19 48 and 2710 2011 to 2710 2019) mean heavy oils as defined in paragraph (d) above of which 85% or more by volume (including losses) distils at 350 C (ISO 3405 method (equivalent to the ASTM D 86 method);
(f) ‘fuel oils’ (subheadings 2710 19 51 to 2710 19 68 and 2710 2031 to 2710 2039) mean heavy oils as defined in paragraph (d) above (other than gas oils as defined in paragraph (e) above) which, for a corresponding diluted colour C, have a viscosity V:
not exceeding that shown in line I of the following table when the sulphated ashes content is less than 1% by the ISO 3987 method and the saponification index is less than 4 by the ISO 6293-1 or 6293-2 method,
exceeding that shown in line II when the pour point is not less than 10 C by the ISO 3016 method,
exceeding that shown in line I but not exceeding that shown in line II when 25% or more by volume distils at 300 C by the ISO 3405 method (equivalent to the ASTM D 86 method) or, if less than 25% by volume distils at 300 C, when the pour point is higher than 10 C below zero by the ISO 3016 method. These provisions apply only to oils having a diluted colour C of less than 2."
https://www.gov.uk/trade-tariff/chapters/27
I suggest to define diesel as any distilled gas oil used in diesel engine. Diesels is similar to light fuel oil, not to the heavy fuel oil used in central heating plants. Light fuel oil is mostly used for domestic heating. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.191.76.230 (talk) 12:58, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
