The Bob Israel referenced is ''not'' one of the Robert/Bob Israel subjects currently on the disambiguation page, which I have been largely curating. It appears that this particular Bob Israel is a jazz musician (part of a group called "Total Eclipse") in the Washington DC area who also has a tiny record label (First American) and is an event coordinator. I am not sure that he would merit a Misplaced Pages biography according to our notability standards. What do you think? I'd be happy to create his biography, if it's seen as important to include in the encyclopedia. - ] (]) 12:54, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
:{{ping|AppleBsTime}} Good research! If you think he's wikinotable, go ahead and write the article (but I suspect you think he isn't). If you've got some citations, post them here if you like, and I'll give you my opinion.
:If you don't think he's notable, the most helpful thing for our readers may be to remove the link, and to add an {{tl|efn}} footnote by his name. You'd need to add a Notes section (with {{tl|notelist}}) immediately above the non-existent References section. If you've got a ] citation or two tying him to the album, so much the better; you wouldn't have to prove notability, just the fact.

::Thank you for sharing that template and that cool AFD link with me! I keep learning more every day about nifty gadgets on Misplaced Pages. Sources for the "jazz" Bob Israel would be limited. There is from March 16, 1989 in The Evening Sun (Baltimore) about the "Blues Alley" nightclub, with many comments by Bob Israel, "marketing director" of Blues Alley. But the content is about Blues Alley, not about Mr. Israel. I note also that the only venue where "Bob Israel's Jazz Orchestra" and "Bob Israel's Big Band" ever seemed to land a gig was at Blues Alley. Other indications of '''limited''' reliable sources are , , , and . Nice enough guy, but "jamming with friends" is not material that builds a Misplaced Pages biography. I think I'll try an AFD on the Pamela Moore album, as it appears the original author of that page was a single-purpose editor, probably looking for a promotional boost in sales. - ] (]) 14:01, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
:::{{ping|AppleBsTime}} I've looked at those citations (bar #1, which needs a subscription) and agree with the whole of your assessment - more about the club than about him, local musician, probably good for a fun evening out, but not wikinotable.
:::I collect handy-looking WikiGadgets.
:::If you're thinking of posting at ], make sure to do a ] search. Two or three pages of a search should be enough. I suspect that for a never re-released album there won't be anything, but you never know; I've saved a couple of articles about Bollywood films which I was angling to delete by finding a review or two, and adding them.
:::Notability standards were lower in WP's early days, there are some very ''thin'' articles still around. Yrs, ] (]) 14:17, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

:{{ping|Mike Peel}} That's what it looked like to me, though I couldn't visualise the gas line element (especially a dual one). Is it something like a ]? (I had to google for those, the hatnote on ] was misleading.) Those allow some flexion, but I can envisage metal or plastics versions which would enable full rotation as well. Helium is tricky to contain, so the seal would have to be good. Or is there only partial rotation, when a pair of flexible pipes would work (twist not a problem)? If we don't have an article, an inline or {{tl|efn}} footnoted explanation (ideally with a citation which includes a drawing) may be the most helpful thing for readers. ] (]) 04:36, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

You write "Links to DAB pages are errors per ]" while it actually says "are typically errors". Yes, it also states "the community has adopted the procedure of rerouting all" (because of some issues, also affecting you?), but it seems this is a very good exception. ] is not likely to mean something completely different, and I actually mean it to apply to both current uses (and all I could foresee added there, in case we get Windows 11...). I do see "The exceptions, when an intentional link to a disambiguation page is appropriate", but not sure I can follow it like "] (see the source here). What bad effects are for keeping as I did?

:::: I felt it needed to mention ] at the Julia article (and just mentioned Windows as a side-note), even if not explicitly supported, yet. Since it probably will be in the recent future. Also it's not only about what's explicitly supported, but what can be supported, and Windows probably can just as well (you can compile from source for ARM, I'm guessing for Windows too, and binaries provided for Linux). While Apple has such a page, it might be too soon for Microsoft, their implementation doesn't seem as good, and the (long-term) plan isn't there to ditch Intel. But I can very well see that article expanded, at least to a stub (would fix our problem) or moved to ] (and ] made a redirect). To be fair, when I think about it, ] (all Phone my now discontinued) only ever supported ARM, so for that it's a major implicit feature. I wouldn't make a big deal of it yet for desktop Windows, there's not even a separate ] or for PowerPC or Alpha chips, also once supported. ] (]) 19:14, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

== Misplaced Pages is not therapy ==

Dear Narky Blert

Thank you for that link. I had not seen that essay before. As it says, ]. That being true, therapy in the form of providing at least a modicum of purpose and meaning is in the eye of the beholder. As is equally, I suppose, disruptive behaviour. That said, I was surprised to be accused of wiki-lawyering. It seems to me that WP policies and essays are OK to rely on when explaining why some actions should not be taken, but relying on such policies and essays to explain why an action was taken is seen as wiki-lawyering. I have also been surprised that essays which are not part of WP policy and have not been vetted by the community are referred to as if they have some kind of quasi-policy status. I know of only one exception, and that is ], which I was recently surprised to see is only an essay rather than WP policy. Even so, BRD seems to have become custom and practice.

I wanted to say this as politely as I could rather than having it floating through my head, for the next six months.

thank you, René aka ] (]) 00:02, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

== What to do when the source itself is ambiguous? ==

At ], you added a dab-needed tag to an internal link to ]. Now I'm not sure what to do. I did realise at the time I added the link that I was linking to a disambiguation page, which I did because the source used only refers to "Diospolis", without disambiguating which Diospolis is meant. From the context, it's clear that it's supposed to be a Diospolis in Egypt, but still there were two cities with that name in ancient Egypt (Diospolis Magna and Diospolis Parva).

Now someone with more knowledge than me about ancient Egypt might know which Diospolis was meant, so it would make sense to leave the dab-needed tag on the page. On the other hand, I'm not sure whether this is what the tag is normally used for, neither whether future wiki users would understand what is expected from them. Other options are to remove the wiki-link itself, or to link to the disambiguation page in the proper way (<nowiki>by using something like ]<!--DAB link is intentional, source is ambiguous over which Diospolis is meant--!></nowiki>, as I've just learned).

What should I do in cases like this? I'm relatively new here, but given the nature of the materials which I work on, I suspect that I will be confronted with this kind of thing relatively often. ] (]) 19:07, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
:{{ping|Apaugasma}} Good question! I'd already bookmarked that one for possible attention by ] in case someone there knows for sure. (They're really really good. I was astonished that anyone could confidently solve this problem - ].)
:What I do when I've decided that it will likely forever be impossible to determine exactly which place is meant, is to add an {{tl|efn}} footnote something like. "The source says ]<!--that construction keeps ] happy-->, but that could mean either ] or ]". No ], and it shows that an editor has had a good hard look at the problem, and readers learn that it's unsolved and possibly insoluble.
:I've used that technique in particular for English birthplaces when there are two villages less than a mile or so apart, locations of air combats in WWI and WWII where even the war diaries of the units would be unlikely to help, and birthplaces of the ancestors of Jewish emigrés from e.g. Poland or Belarus where many villages have the same name and it's highly unlikely that any records have survived. ] (]) 20:02, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

== XIIIfromTokyo ==
Hello, I am writing to you because you were the one speaking French in the ]'s ANI topic, and because ] asked me not to write in the current ANI topic. I just had a look to the global contribution link XIII gives in the ANI and I ended up on a conversation name "the pedophilia conspiracy in Sciences Po" on the French Misplaced Pages : https://fr.wikipedia.org/search/?diff=180233351#Le_complot_p%C3%A9dophile_de_Sciences-Po . You can see by yourself the misrepresentation of the truth he is giving, most of the contributors do not really understand his point of view anyway. He is saying that a false pedophilia conspiracy theory is being put in the article with sources like Gala and that he wants to alert the English WP of this because it could look bad if journalists see it (one is telling him that Gala is nowhere to be found in the sources ; they tell him to write on the English help desk, but he says he tried with no outcome, not mentioning of course the current ANI, but anyway).

I noticed one point though: he is asking several times, and it is the aim of the topic, if somebody would know the personal contact information of WP English administrators ("est-ce qu'une personne fréquentant le bistro aurait un bon contact avec du coté des Administrators de la version anglaise ?" "Donc si quelqu'un a un contact d'Administrator à qui refiler le bébé, je prends." – administrator is in English "je demande... le contact...").

{{redacted}} I thought you might want to know he is trying to privately discuss the matter with English Misplaced Pages admins. Best wishes.

--] (]) 19:49, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
:{{Ping|Delfield}} IMO Drmies gave you good advice in ], and you are right to follow it. You've made your points for everyone to read. There's no value in repeating them. I plan to stay out of that discussion from now on unless someone proposes a vote.
:If XIII wants to contact an English WP admin, Talk Pages and emails are available. The other editors who posted in that French WP thread seem well aware that enwiki and frwiki are entirely separate. No-one seems to have responded to the suggestion of involving {{lang|fr|le service juridique}}, and I suspect a trace of {{lang|fr|le second degré}} in Thibaut's post.
: The comment {{lang|fr|les anglo-saxons relatant les choses de façon moins édulcorées que les francophones}} made me chuckle. French lawyers are accustomed to sign off letters containing blood-curdling threats of legal action with {{lang|fr|Soyez assuré de mes sentiments les plus distingués}}.

Oak Grove, Louisiana

Hi there. I see you were the last to edit here, so maybe you can help, because disambiguation pages make me dizzy.

The article Oak Grove, Louisiana is the only "Oak Grove" in the state with a Misplaced Pages article. However, the meat of the article is located at Oak Grove, West Carroll Parish, Louisiana.

There was also Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Oak Grove, Louisiana.

(As an aside, Oak Grove, Louisiana was created by a notorious sock I've been hunting for years)

I think the entire article should be moved back to "Oak Grove, Louisiana".

What do you think? Cheers! Magnolia677 (talk) 11:09, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

I see you changed the DAB page, but this is still the only "Oak Grove" in Louisiana. The parish name is unnecessary, no? Magnolia677 (talk) 11:00, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
@Magnolia677: Thanks for dropping by. I have a health issue which wrecks my ability to concentrate. The wholly-unlinked entry on the DAB page needs to go. As for your main point, I agree with you - the WP:PTOPIC for Oak Grove, Louisiana is Oak Grove, West Carroll Parish, Louisiana. I suggest a WP:RM#Uncontroversial technical requests.

I am so sorry to hear that. I noticed that you had been less active than when we collaborated so successfully but I had hoped it was by choice. I hope that ill health is not affecting your offline life too badly and I wish you all the best. Certes (talk) 15:54, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
TY for your kind words. Narky Blert (talk) 20:00, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar 4 U!

The Bluelink patrol Barnstar
You're the first to receive this, for starting WikiProject Bluelink patrol, you deserve it. Jerium (talk) 21:15, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

I also have a request. I usually make a criteria for every new barnstar made, but I can't comprehend the ideal-purpose of the WikiProject to come up with one. Can you develop a criteria to be assign for this barnstar? Thank you. Jerium (talk) 21:15, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

@Jerium: Thank you! This is a rare honour.
A health scare are the end of 2021 pretty much wrecked my ability to concentrate, and I have been almost inactive on WP since then. Others who deserve this award include (but are not limited to) my colleagues Certes and GoingBatty, without whom I wouldn't have thought of setting up WP:BPAT.
Inclusion criterion? I suggest nomination by active members. Us WP:WIKIGNOMES don't seek recognition, and can be rather embarrassed by it. Narky Blert (talk) 21:59, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
I'm glad you like the gesture. I know there are others who deserve this also, but you know more of them than me. Perhaps you can express such appreciation to them. Anyways, thanks for your past and future efforts, happy editing & cheers! Jerium (talk) 22:27, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing at the soprano! - Recommended reading today: Frye Fire, by sadly missed Vami_IV. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:43, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Today is Schoenberg's 150th birthday! On display, portrayed by Egon Schiele, with music from Moses und Aron, and with two DYK hooks, one from 2010 and another from 2014; the latter, about his 40th birthday, appeared on his 140th birthday, which made me happy then and now again. - See places for a stunning sunrise, on the day Bruckner's 200th birthday was celebrated (just a few days late). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:14, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
