Hi, I wanted to notify that I changed OMERS as per the source.

Thanks for your help with the student editing

Dear @Discospinster: thank you for noting those major errors. The students were instructed to practice editing and I am glad that you beat me to correcting them, this is definitely a big mistake and great to catch right away. I have now caught up with you and reviewed all the other typo-fixes and do not see any other major errors. Regarding the patient-->person/people, it is my understanding that this is a very common improvement in medical articles as per [WP:MEDMOS] (see 'pitfalls'). I have corrected a few that were slightly off, but in general was very impressed with the quality of the edits while the students are learning. Moving forward for our article improvement step, suggested article improvements will be shared on the talk pages by Nov 19th-pm and left to simmer for a week before the students edit the articles live. Students have chosen a citation as per [WP:MEDRS], they had their expert review their proposed change, a librarian review their source, and will be editing live in about 2 weeks. I also moderate all edits. I was delayed by a few hours going through the edits today so you beat me to it! Today was an exercise in practice editing, changing a typo, following MEDMOS, minor re-wording to prepare for adding in new information/updating the medical evidence. Feedback is definitely welcome anytime and greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to make these corrections! Kind regards, JenOttawa (talk) 22:47, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

Changing terms for “commit suicide”

Hello, My changes to address suicide in a less stigmatizing way were reverted indicating “committed suicide” is already an acceptable term to use. We are trying to destigmatize suicide by no longer referring to it as if it was a crime. Media sites are encouraging this change when reporting on suicide. It would be helpful if Wikipedia joined them. See reference here: https://en.m.wiki.x.io/wiki/Suicide_terminology Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DianaYYZ (talk • contribs)

(talk page watcher) DianaYYZ, please read through [[1]], it's the most recent discussion on the Manual of Style guidance for terminology about suicide. Schazjmd (talk) 01:05, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for sharing the link regarding the term. I read it all. It is a shame that Vashti’s sources were not enough to change this. An outdated term cannot change if people don’t learn alternate terms.

What is done in such circumstances?

Thank you for your involvement in this page. As you can see, that IP keeps on removing sourced content. What is done is such circumstances when they just won't stop? 103.233.2.129 (talk) 14:45, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

If you feel that the user's edits are wrong or disruptive, you should discuss it on the talk page, and if that doesn't work then you can use one of the dispute resolution mechanisms. ... discospinster talk 15:32, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Avon Fire & Rescue Service

Hi there,

I amended the content on the Avon Fire & Rescue wiki page, and my edits were reversed.

I need these to be reinstated, and the facts that were previously on the page are incorrect and damaging to the organisation.

Regards

Elisabeth Taplin ACIPR Avon Fire & Rescue Service

Please indicate how the facts on the page are incorrect. If they are cited to reliable sources, then being "damaging to the organisation" is not a valid reason for removal. Otherwise whatever is out of date can be updated, but removing significant amounts of information (especially by the organisation itself) is not a good idea. ... discospinster talk 15:05, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

ABN Assets

Hello! I wanted to give you some more information on ABN Assets. They are an active scam community that are impersonating ABN AMRO, a legitimate financial institution. They message people on facebook trying to get victims to send cryptocurrency to their website www.abn-assets.com . The entire webpage is fake and I am actively looking to take them down. The Wikipedia page is the first thing that comes up when you google the company and I noticed someone removed the deletion flag on the page. I am not too familiar with how Wikipedia operates, but if you can help me out and get this page taken down it would be greatly appreciated. Just trying to prevent more people from getting scammed. Thank you very much, have a great day. UnrealFinancial (talk) 12:25, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Unfortunately, being a scam company is not a reason to take down a Wikipedia page. If you have reliable sources that talk about their activities then you are welcome to add it to the article. An article can be deleted because the subject is not notable, i.e. there isn't significant discussion of it in multiple reliable sources. That's what the focus of the deletion argument has to be. ... discospinster talk 18:36, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Walter Clarence Thornton

We are working to source, edit and correct multiple issues. As with all new Wiki Pages, we've had some growing pains. Please understand that we are working tirelessly on correcting any and all "issues"; furthermore, the repeated removal of LICENSED IMAGES, with Wiki usage permission, is very detrimental to our progress--and I respectfully ask that you please stop it. Thank you, Howyoodoon

Such non-free images are not permitted on Wikipedia and in fact expose the site to legal liability for copyright infringement. As for the maintenance tags, they should not be removed unless the issue concerned are actually addressed. ... discospinster talk 21:58, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Picture of Prophect Muhammad

Hello, I'm Muhammad Rehan, the Wikipedia page on the article Prophet Muhammad, which contains a picture of Prophect Muhammad as it's a disrespectful to whole Muslim community because the visual representation of Prophect Muhammad is prohibited in Islam, I've tried twice to remove the picture but the picture was added again by you Sir. Kindly guide me if I'm doing something wrong by removing the picture if not then kindly help me remove the picture because I believe it's a hate crime against the all all Muslim community. I know the Wikipedia is not censored but it is not right to hurt feelings of whole Muslim community. Because showing picture of Prophect Muhammad is disrespect to whole Muslim community. MuhammadRehan37 (talk) 22:43, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Demi Moore and Adriana Lima

Hi, thanks for your help at Demi Moore and Adriana Lima. However, I noticed that the protections you put in (as well as the previous protection put in yesterday) are significantly shorter than the three-month semi-protection that just expired little more than 24 hours ago. This is the case for both pages. Would you please take a look at both pages' protection histories and consider making both semi-protections longer? Both pages have been LTA targets for quite some time. Thanks, Summerallian (talk) 04:05, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Thank you for your comment on my Talk page. I interchanged John Tinne (correct name) and John Tinné (incorrect name); since both needed to remain, I couldn't move either one.

Normally it is possible to move over a redirect. In the case of John Tinne the only significant history was redirect-related, so it's not a big deal if it disappears.

Hello, Discospinster,

You tagged this page for speedy deletion and I agreed with your tagging and deleted the page. However, Uanfala disagreed and opened Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2022 February 5 about it.

I just got done with a very contentious deletion review whose results were mixed, the page was restored but the article was moved out of main space to User space. But that was a terrible article that was the recreation of an AfD deleted article and this is just a questionable disambiguation page so I have chosen to restore it.

Hello, I'm sure you know how WP:MINOR works so I'm not sure if it was a missclick or what but your revert on Aimo Koivunen didn't seem like reverting obvious vandalism or the like. Not saying it wasn't warranted but it didn't seem to fit the minor mark. I was just curious about what happened there. Thanks. --TylerBurden (talk) 08:21, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

It's not a misclick, I considered it to be a minor reversion. ... discospinster talk 19:49, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
A minor reversion sure, minor edit (as Wikipedia defines it) I still don't think so having looked over it again given that it wasn't obvious vandalism or otherwise objectively unconstructive such as adding typos or whatnot. It more seemed like you just personally felt it was too trivial which is all good, just not minor since it could lead to a dispute. Fair enough though I suppose if that is how you feel, I don't think it's worth debating given how minor (see what I did there) of a deal it is but I was just curious why you marked it as a minor edit which you've told me so thanks. --TylerBurden (talk) 20:09, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anil's Ghost

Hi, you reverted the nominator's withdraw of their own AfD nomination here. Did you mean to do that? If so, why? And if not, would you mind reversing your revert? -- asilvering (talk) 05:04, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

I forgot about this message, sorry. It was an error. ... discospinster talk 20:02, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Requesting to redirect

Hello @Discospinster: a page you protected Ayan (actor) needs a redirect page for Raavan (2022 film) as the source mentions his name so the full name will not work. ... २ तकरपेप्सी talk 18:06, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

I am not comfortable with removing the protection since the article has been recreated and deleted so many times. Maybe WP:RPP would be a better place to ask for decreasing protection. ... discospinster talk 03:10, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Apology

Hey, sorry I didn't realize you were an admin when I mentioned on the John Brooks' talk page. I just didn't want the situation spiraling out of hand because it looked like it was going into an edit war and it was happening across multiple pages. So sorry about that! :) Happy editing! Philipnelson99 (talk) 03:05, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

@Philipnelson99: No need to apologize, you did not do anything wrong. ... discospinster talk 03:07, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Behind the Laughter

Your edit was reverted. The creator of Behind the Music [1] is named Gay Rosenthal [2]. Your change to the name "Guy Rosenthal" is incorrect.

Hi!

Is huggle available for mobile? —Ctrlwiki (talk) 00:26, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

I don't know, you would have to check the page for it: WP:HUG. ... discospinster talk 00:39, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

SOPHIE DOB

Hi. Sophie was born in 1985. I have known her since I was 13. I went to school with her, then university. Our birthdays our 6 days apart. Please accept the edit to her WIKI

Do you have a reliable source to show her birthdate? Unfortunately just being a friend of hers is not sufficient evidence. ... discospinster talk 16:45, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Sims 4 - Dine Out reverted comment

Hello,

I edit my comment 3 times in order to make sure it complied with Wikipedia Guidelines and not at all to disrupt as you wrote. As a matter of fact, I do not appreciate the way you wrote to me. Indeed, normally you should explain why my edit was reverted as it complies with Wikipedia Guidelines. I did make a correction to it to make sure it does. Your tone was aggressive and disrespectful. Therefore, I would like to know who is your manager or whoever is above you to fill a formal complaint.

Thank you,

That would be User:Jimbo Wales I guess. You were told prior that you can't add that sort of information without a reliable source. Personal complaints about software are not considered encyclopedic. ... discospinster talk 16:44, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Reliable source? I inserted a link to EA technical support group with all the information that confirms. How could you imply that was not a realiable source?

Because we don't know who wrote it or if it's true. People always have problems with software but it doesn't get included in Wikipedia unless it's been given attention in the wider media. ... discospinster talk 19:01, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Edit of Tang Shu Wing page

I want to update some information eg. birth place/education background/career/occupation so I delete original information. I will add related citations. Is it acceptable? Effiewong2020 (talk) 10:19, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

I don't understand why you need to delete the original article. Why can't you just add the information (with citations) along with what is already there? ... discospinster talk 16:43, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

The version of this page you protected still has the BS about it being the home of Texas Tech. 2600:1700:202:3230:D4C6:25ED:BC5D:6BB0 (talk) 00:18, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

I'm not seeing that. What part of the article are you referring to? ... discospinster talk 15:12, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Draft deleted

this was serious why did you delete my draftBakertrouble1 (talk) 17:46, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

It's inappropriate for Wikipedia. ... discospinster talk 17:47, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Juwan Howard Post Game Fight

I did not "vandalize" anything. It is widely regarded that Gast was the main aggressor in the fight, but Howard being handed the punishment. Im gonna revert back to my version. Thanks!

If it's "widely regarded" then you'll have no problem finding and adding a citation to that effect. ... discospinster talk 17:52, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

TOI 561

With regards to the discoverer of the exoplanet system TOI561, Lauren Weiss, she was not faculty of UC Riverside but rather University of Hawaii. Please refer to the affiliations in the discovery paper, at the end of the document.

OK then, that should be clear when talking of that in the article. ... discospinster talk 05:19, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

Comment

hey, just wanted to apologise about the edit. I was trying to see if editing actually worked and your list seemed quite interesting. I appreciate your message and the fact that you were respectful about it. i once again apologise and I will be using the sandbox feature for future experiment. Have a nice day :)

P.S. if possible could you tell me how to change the name of a wiki page created in sandbox?

To change the name of a page you would move it to the new name. ... discospinster talk 19:38, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
