g'day from oz

Your placing guided democracy with guided democracy in indonesia as the two categories - is as far as WP:MOS is concerned is placing a parent category with a child category, and is to be discouraged, and some editors are at pains to remove the parent category - it is part of some of the idiosyncracies of wikipedia editing... thanks for your edits.

Thank you for your help JD John M. Turner (talk) 15:31, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is quite difficult at times to explain the framework of some of the logic, and at times some people will go to great lengths to take vast volumes of discussion over things quite slight, enjoy your editing, and lets hope you encounter the friendlier parts of the place.

AfC notification: Draft:Gabriele Beger has a new comment

Disambiguation link notification for August 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Untermensch, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Subhuman. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 07:54, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

September 2024

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Peruvian Internal Conflict, without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. asilvering (talk) 00:34, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why this obsession with Peru?

Hi! 👋 Sorry if the section title seems somewhat offensive or direct, but it seriously made me curious. I am Peruvian and I couldn't help but notice that in every article about Peru that I have visited lately there is you. Are you doing work on Human Rights in South America or something like that? I just wanted to ask that.

Welcome to Wikipedia on my part 😊 ComradeHektor (talk) 23:12, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are you @Búfalo Barreto? JD John M. Turner (talk) 04:21, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No. I repeat, I was only asking this out of curiosity, since I noticed that some of your edits are not neutral in my opinion. You could say that you also reminded me of a user, but I'm not sure it's you either. ComradeHektor (talk) 04:40, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your opinion is as unimportant as mine, do you have any reliable source on what you claim? JD John M. Turner (talk) 03:31, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Red

Hi there, JD John M. Turner, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to see you intend to help us along by creating articles on women in law. I see you are already making progress with Draft:Gabriele Beger which appears to be based on the German article. You might find it useful to look through the guidance in our Primer. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 07:10, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, @JD John M. Turner, I'll just add: if you're going to be translating German wikipedia articles, you'll frequently run into the problem you ran into with this draft, where it's declined for lack of in-line citations. German wikipedia is a lot more comfortable with putting the sources in the "Literatur" section and not directly linking individual sentences to specific sources. On English wikipedia, you won't get very far like that, especially in the case of a living or only recently deceased person. So if you see an article without many footnotes, you may want to avoid translating that one and pick up a different target instead, unless you're willing to get out all the sources in the Literatur section to try to pin down each individual sentence. Welcome, and good luck! -- asilvering (talk) 18:00, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

November 2024

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. It is not appropriate to modify other editors signed comments, or to manipulate the text of the nominator's comments at an WP:AFD. This is a form of WP:Disruptive editing.4meter4 (talk) 22:04, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

didn't know that. Thank you. JD John M. Turner (talk) 22:05, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No probkem. I understand you meant well. If you took a second to think about it though, if we allowed people to modify the signed comments of others we could never trust what we are seeing was said by that user or some other user that modified the text. That makes dialoguing unreliable and therefore not possible. Best.4meter4 (talk) 22:13, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
