Gender inequality in South Korea

WP:PROD is for deletions that are expected to be uncontroversial. I would be surprised if "ridiculous stub" and a WP:TNT proposal resulted in a WP:SNOW delete at WP:AFD. ~Kvng (talk) 21:20, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

@Kvng: OK, I filed a regular WP:AfD. I'm interested in your arguments on which basis this article should be kept. --PanchoS (talk) 21:49, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

I will try to weigh in in the next few days. Did you see Talk:Gender inequality in South Korea § Reliable sources? Regardless of how this turns out, please try and use WP:AFD from the outset for potentially controversial deletions. ~Kvng (talk) 22:11, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

@Kvng: I have little doubt that there is more than abundant material to write a proper, encyclopedic article on Sexism or Gender equality in South Korea. Though I'm rather an WP:INCLUSIONIST, my point is that this stub is one of the worst Wikipedia articles and, while I'd love to see it being improved. as it stands it IMHO is altogether useless. --PanchoS (talk) 23:19, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

OK but other editors may prefer to improve rather than delete something like this. Do you appreciate the potential controversy here? My reason for contacting you here is to remind you that WP:PROD is not the appropriate forum for potentially controversial deletions. ~Kvng (talk) 23:51, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

@Kvng: I still don't consider deletion of this article controversial, but at the same time it's absolutely okay that you contested the PROD. People didn't prefer improving the article since 2013, but I'd happily withdraw my AfD nomination if it turned out to be the trigger for considerable improvement. --PanchoS (talk) 23:57, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Well, the fact that I deprodded it and am not seeing a valid WP:DEL-REASON in your prod or AfD tells me that you were wrong in your assessment of the level of controversy involved here. The effort required to improve the article to be an acceptable stub was also minimal. I simply removed the section about Jang Ja-yeon. I hope you find it a reasonable starting point now. Using the threat of deletion to motivate others to make the improvements you would like to see is bad form - WP:NODEADLINE. Please consider making these improvements yourself; Building the encyclopedia is what we're here for. ~Kvng (talk) 00:14, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

You're not seriously claiming the one-sentence sub-stub, lacking a single reference, would be acceptable now, are you? Either way, I'm not going to argue with you about this anymore. Weigh in at the AfD and convince others that this article should stay. --PanchoS (talk) 00:32, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

I have done so. I expect it to go kind of like this. If I may ask, how much AfD experience do you have? ~Kvng (talk) 01:44, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Clearly less DEPRODding experience than you do… the relevant discussion is over there though, and I don't want to waste more time on useless chatting. --PanchoS (talk) 02:49, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

PanchoS, since the article had already been to AfD (albeit under a different name), it technically wasn't eligible for PROD, though I will concede you might not have known that . pbp 13:27, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Request if you have some free time

Hi PanchoS, by chance would it be hard for you to nominate Category:Electronic music festivals by region for redirection to Category:Electronic music festivals by country? I'm a bit intimidated by the process myself to the point of always putting it off, but seems to be second nature to you. Either way, thanks for you edits on the festival tree, they've invariably been helpful/prudent. Earflaps (talk) 18:18, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

@Earflaps: Thank you so much! :)
It's so easy to give positive feedback with the new Thanks functionality, but still most people chose to give only negative feedback, and just take everything they like for granted. That's what really is intimidating, rather than the actual process, I guess. Now regarding that category: good catch! As an obvious, IMHO uncontroversial case, I even nominated it per WP:CFDS. Should be fixed in a few days. Cheers, PanchoS (talk) 18:40, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

@Earflaps: See, again we're having different ideas of how things should be categorized. Not saying your idea wasn't reasonable, hopefully you think the same of my perspective. You're trying to be very rigid, which generally is a good thing. But in a finite world, especially with a finite number of articles that are extremely unbalanced in quantity, you'll have to make compromises between rigidity, size, suitability and adequacy. And at that point everybody has their own idea of what would be the best compromise… Luckily, often good solutions are found. Unfortunately, sometimes the outcome at CfD is horrible, but that might only from my perspective. Others consider other outcomes as horrible. "Objectivity" is a chimaera. --PanchoS (talk) 21:50, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi! Not quite sure what the second paragraph is all about exactly, but for the first one, you're very welcome, and thank you very much for the move! Its something that's needed to be done a long time :) About us having different ideas on categorizing, I think you might have a slightly false idea about where I'm coming from. Generally, my edits with categories dont represent my opinion at all - in the vast majority of cases, I'm just continuing a trend started by one or several other Wikipedians years before me (after scanning several category trees to study for the norm). I generally try and assume my predecessors were editing with a clear gaze, and knew what they were doing. So when I get "creative," it's normally because our predecessors did something blatantly untenable or (like categorizing "sporting events" as festivals, ugh, that one drives me crazy), or there needs to be something new to fill a void (like a way to separate region subcats in the festival tree from genre subcats for ease of reading - you'll notice I eventually settled on "+" signs for the regions, and an empty space for type/genre, which for better or worse is consistent now on basically all festival categories). But otherwise, I strive not to rock the boat. Earflaps (talk) 22:19, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

@Earflaps: Oh, I thought it to be obvious that in my second paragraph, I was referring to your answer at WP:Categories for discussion/Log/2016 June 18#Category:10,000 Lakes Festival by year. Nevermind. I actually don't think I have a false idea about your approach at categorization, and mostly I agree with it. Sometimes, I think it gets a bit over the top in terms of rigidity, but mostly the consistency is welcome and, in fact, very much needed. I guess some others think the same of my edits, from their own perspective. I think it's all fine, as long as we can talk about our different approaches in a civil and respectful way, and find consensuses that will sometimes be good and sometimes not so good. That's in the nature of such discussions. Best regards, PanchoS (talk) 22:32, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

Oops, my bad, I should've assumed that - my mind reverted to the fireworks festivals and sports festivals discussions some months ago, where I remember agreeing with your comments. I actually always tend to accept your opinion on categories as the way to go, since you've obviously spent years working with and discussing them (whereas I've only dabbled the past few years). And I've refreshingly never seen you warp an interpretation of the style guidelines just to win an argument, which means discussions can actually get somewhere/result in sensible solutions :) So thanks again, and all the best!

English sources template

Hi, thanks for helping out with Template:Needs English sources. Have you seen my post at Wikipedia talk:Template messages/Maintenance#Template:Needs English sources? I got part way through setting up the template and then realized I was stuck on technical grounds. Do you have any experience in setting up the infrastructure for these templates? Largoplazo (talk) 13:22, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

@Largoplazo: For now, I created a basic category to collect all tagged articles. I think the new template should be further established before setting up per-month categories and further infrastructure. There's no point in having categories per month for just a handful of articles. Feel free to contact me for assistance again, after revisiting the situation in a few months. Cheers, PanchoS (talk) 14:58, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

A question

Hey, just a question for you regarding going forward with Stefanomione. I've been meaning to raise this question with a few editors, and you've just been more or less randomly selected as the first one I bring it up with because you just edited the userpage with the kind of notification I am wondering about.

Given that Stefanomione is indefinitely banned from participating in CFD or making category-related edits, do you think it's a good idea to post notifications on his user page that specifically invite him to participate in CFD discussions? I find it kind of perverse. It could be interpreted in a few different ways by the user—I'm not saying that any of these was your actual intent (in fact I'm pretty sure they were not)—I'm just trying to put myself in his position and consider what I would think if I was banned from CFD but I kept getting notifications. I might think that:

1. users who notify are "rubbing it in"—emphasising that I have created a bunch of bad categories that need to be discussed by the community; or
2. users are attempting to goad me into violating my prohibition on participating at CFD so that I will be blocked.

I guess the bottom line I'm wondering about is this—what purpose does it serve to notify him? Is it just so that he is aware that content he created is under discussion? Should we ask him what he thinks about being notified in this way? If he is notified, should we use a different method other than the template that invites him to participate? Thanks, Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 00:46, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

@Good Olfactory: That's an interesting question and a reasonable concern. It was WP:TWINKLE that automatically notified Stefanomione when I nominated that category. So whatever we want to be done in these cases, should be implemented in Twinkle, too. I think, we should post something to the talk pages of both blocked and topic-banned users, but with a different wording that only notifies rather than inviting the creator for comment. Reasons for continuing to post notices:

• Information for admins who might be evaluating an unblock request or appeal to lift the topic ban.
• Information for the category's (or article's) creator whose block or ban may expire in the meantime.
• Information for the category's (or article's) creator that the community continues to deal with their pages. While the user may be banned from participation, the information might still be relevant for them, causing them to file an appeal or request an unblock, possibly limited to the particular issue.

Making Twinkle behave well in all possible cases, is going to be a quite tricky task. Either way we have to figure out which cases we have to deal with, how to discriminate between the cases in an automated way, and which reaction is expected in the particular case. Regards, PanchoS (talk) 01:35, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, that's very good, I agree with what you have written. I'll try to pursue this, though I don't know very much about Twinkle, so it might be something I just need to raise with the right people to get something done. Good points on why notifications might still be useful to have. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 04:36, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

Don't make inaccurate changes

Your change here was completely wrong. That was not the route the attacker took. It was the entire avenue highlighted. Don't make inaccurate changes if you don't know what it is you're doing. -- Veggies (talk) 12:29, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

@Veggies: Given that you're wrong, a slightly more friendly tone would be appropriate. --PanchoS (talk) 15:26, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

How am I wrong? The driver didn't go down the entire length of the avenue. -- Veggies (talk) 15:30, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

@Veggies: You're wrong in stating I wouldn't know what I'm doing. I decided that one map would be enough, and from the two maps to choose from, I chose the one that gives more context. Is the other one more precise, in the light of ongoing investigations? OK, I agree, so swapping them was a good decision. But the issue here is your inappropriate tone, not the question whether "I know what I'm doing" or not. --PanchoS (talk) 16:02, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

Shopping center

Hello. I realized after hitting Enter that my edit summary on the last undo may have sounded a bit too harsh. The point I was trying to make in the limited space available was that there are 988 other Wikipedia articles that contain links to "Shopping center". Although I'm sure some of those are errors, it's likely that a good percentage of them were inserted by editors who were well aware that Shopping center was a redirect to Shopping mall and intended to refer readers to that article. If the target of the redirect is changed, all those links will become inaccurate. That is why the change is potentially disruptive, and should not be made until after a consensus has been established. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 14:29, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Polatli-Konya high-speed railway

Hello,

You have recently undone my move of Polatli-Konya high-speed railway to Ankara-Konya high-speed railway. I am puzzled as to why you did this, as the high-speed railway branches of the Istanbul-Ankara high-speed railway at Polatli. Therefore, Polatli is the start of the railway, not Ankara. If you are referring to the routes of the Yuksek Hizli Tren service then it is another matter, but that page is about the railway itself, not the route. I will request of move of the page back to Polatli-Konya high-speed railway.

Thank you for understanding.

Central Data Bank (talk) 10:02, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

• @Central Data Bank: I explained it in the edit summary, see here, though it was slightly shortened: restore original title per WP:COMMONNAME. Also, no evidence was presented that the tracks end at a switch in Polatlı – they might continue to Ankara. I'm fine with renaming it back, if evidence is presented either of common usage of "Polatlı-Konya high-speed railway", or of the tracks ending at a switch near Polatlı without separate tracks between Polatlı and Ankara. Currently neither is present, and the title in the Turkish Wikipedia (and all others) suggest the tracks go all the way to Ankara. Generally a {{Requested move}} is always better except for completely uncontroversial cases. Regards, PanchoS (talk) 12:59, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

July 2016

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Alexbrn (talk) 20:08, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

• Hello Alexbrn, and welcome to Wikipedia, too. The only one who repeatedly reverted the same addition by another user is you. I therefore added this notice to your talk page, in order to make sure you are aware of our policies. Feel free to ask if you have any further policy questions, including why your revert was acceptable, though your notice was not. Regards, PanchoS (talk) 20:21, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

Maybe see WP:BRD. Repeatedly restoring your "version" of an article is edit-warring, and inserting unreliable content damages the encyclopedia. Alexbrn (talk) 20:24, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

Pipeline categories

Hi, PanchoS. You created several pipeline categories and categorized them also in the energy infrastructure. I agree that most of pipelines are energy-related, such as oil pipelines and natural gas pipelines. At the same time, not all pipelines are energy-related. The most significant exemption are water pipelines. Therefore, while oil, natural gas, and hydrogen pipelines should be included in the energy infrastructure system, the adding of the general pipeline categories should be avoided by my understanding. Regards, Beagel (talk) 19:53, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

@Beagel: True. However I only created a single container category, Category:Proposed pipelines by country to hold preexisting per-country categories, and didn't touch or change their categorization in the energy infrastructure tree.

Title of Rhode Island Democratic primary, 2016

Dear Pancho S.,

Rhode Island is one of several states that held presidential primaries before the July conventions, but customarily hold primaries for other offices in September, among them New York (the 9/11/2001 attacks actually hit Lower Manhattan on primary day, which had to be rescheduled), Massachusetts, Missouri and Washington. For details, see http://www.thegreenpapers.com

For such states, "Democratic" or "Republican" "primary, 2016" is too ambiguous. Either it should be in the plural and cover both election days, or else each respective article's title needs to specify which one is meant.

So I opened Talk:Rhode Island Democratic primary, 2016, an article which you started and for which you seem to be the principal editor, to start a discussion. I would appreciate your comments there. Even if you don't comment, I thought it only fair to let you know.

Best wishes on the campaign trail,

And you can quote or cite WP guidelines all day long, but it won't make it courteous, sensible, nor correct--at the time, or as is more likely, affecting many by hanging around for months and quarters... affecting many people trying to find your rationale. In reality, we were chiding you for your lack of communication. SO TAKE THE HINT and document in the future. Enough of this communication. Just try an remember your lack of action can adversely affect the time of others--our most precious commodity! // FrankB 13:43, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Greece at the 2013 Summer Universiade

The article Greece at the 2013 Summer Universiade has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Information already exists at the 2013 Summer Universiade article.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

The anti-Kurdish 81.62... editor

He is back, has been editing under two accounts and one IP yesterday and under another IP today: Lrednuas Senoroc Temp (talk · contribs) (continuing a discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kurdish mythology, started under the previous name and collapsing all parts of that discussion highlighting his behaviour and block), 81.62.64.174 (talk · contribs), 81.62.246.169 (talk · contribs), and Hassan Rebell (talk · contribs).

I have started to look at whatever databases I have access to for anything on Kurdish literature etc, but I don't know any Kurdish, and the various dialects and methods of transcriptions make it somewhat difficult even with sources in English or other European languages.

Either way, I can't keep up with the pace and dedication of this person, whatever we are supposed to call him. Judging by his knowledge of Wikipedia formatting, he must have been around for more than the last few weeks and may well have had previous accounts. (Many Swiss IPs begin with 81.62, so it is difficult to go by that alone.) --Hegvald (talk) 13:57, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

• Hey Hegvald. apologies for answering so late, but in a way I bore a deep unwillingness in getting involved with Hassan's unnerving posture. However, I might have helped ending his prodding spree by adding a reference to Cankurd that he couldn't ignore. And now I finally brought myself to answering on his block review request, and hopefully found some apt and measured remarks. Personally I suspect, he might be identical with Heysem, but I really think he should get away with a time limited ban, so I won't ask a checkuser. Best regards, PanchoS (talk) 11:51, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you commented on

This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you commented on (2 RfCs, actually, one less than six months ago and another a year ago). The new RfC is at:

Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#RfC: Allow private schools to be characterized as non-affiliated as well as religious, in infobox?

Specifically, it asks that "religion = none" be allowed in the infobox.

The first RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:

• 15 June 2015 RfC: RfC: Religion infobox entries for individuals that have no religion.

The result of that RfC was "unambiguously in favour of omitting the parameter altogether for 'none' " and despite the RfC title, additionally found that "There's no obvious reason why this would not apply to historical or fictional characters, institutions etc.", and that nonreligions listed in the religion entry should be removed when found "in any article".

The second RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:

• 31 December 2015 RfC: RfC: Religion in infoboxes.

The result of that RfC was that the "in all Wikipedia articles, without exception, nonreligions should not be listed in the Religion= parameter of the infobox.".

Note: I am informing everyone who commented on the above RfCs, whether they supported or opposed the final consensus. --Guy Macon (talk) 04:22, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
