Misplaced Pages Ambassador Program is looking for Campus Ambassadors in Houston

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you are listed as a Wikipedian connected with Rice University. The Misplaced Pages Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Misplaced Pages assignments at another Houston school, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Misplaced Pages-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Misplaced Pages skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you live in Houston and you are interested in being a Misplaced Pages Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from the area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 20:36, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Xiaomi Tech

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Xiaomi Tech requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Pesky (talk …stalk!) 08:08, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Flash Player japan note

Please stop adding the grammatically incorrect statement in Flash Player about tablet usage in Japan or something. You seem to be from Japan which is why the sentence may be relevant to you in your country but not so for the rest of the world. Please stop adding it or start a discussion on the talk page first.

Calligraphy articles

Hi, I think you're somewhat missing the point here. There are two quite clearly distinct topics, both covered by a substantial literature, so there is no doubt at all that both of them could be written up at book length or more. That is all that is required for two articles to exist. We hope that editors with suitable knowledge will take the time to improve the articles; meanwhile, what we have written is correct, and indicates there is room for more. There is no future at all in attempting to merge the topics. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:12, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Non-stop flight

Hi! You reverted my edit about Air India flight. You said "this is not the longest non-stop /route/". As I understand from the article (which was also published in authoritative The Telegraph) the distance flown is calculated along the great circle, though trans-Pacific route is not the shorter part of the great circle between Delhi and San Francisco, but the longer one. Nevertheless the distance flown is the longest one, and return flight let you make round-the-world journey, so don't you think it's worth mentioning in the article?

Phone connector

The name of this article has been the subject of discussion on its talk page, ending in October 2012. It was moved to "Phone connector (audio)" as a result of consensus. Why did you take it upon yourself to move it without discussion? Jeh (talk) 02:59, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

The potential of an Everipedia article

Hello my friend. I just checked into it to see. These links tell a tale:

• https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/everipedia.com
• https://everipedia.org/Donald%20Trump/advanced_edit/history/
• https://everipedia.org/Matt%20Damon/advanced_edit/history/
• https://everipedia.org/Pizza/advanced_edit/history/

It looks like it never took off. The attraction was supposed to be how it would differ from Misplaced Pages. Alas, it seems few people helped the articles diverge. People may have visited it for a while, but that has trailed off. Considering Alexa, it appears that it is a failed experiment and is unlikely to attract new media coverage. I doubt it will ever be notable.

Just thought I'd drop by with the links so you can make your own decision. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:01, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

DYK for Sword Art Online

On 7 April 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sword Art Online, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Reki Kawahara, author of the successful Sword Art Online, planned to submit the draft for the light novel series to a 2002 competition, but refrained because it exceeded the page limit? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sword Art Online. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Sword Art Online), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Help request for mapping section titles

Hi. We (the Research Team at Wikimedia Foundation) are building an algorithm that will align Misplaced Pages article sections across languages. For improving this algorithm we need the help of multilingual Misplaced Pages editors to provide true statements to the algorithm. You are contacted because based on your Babel template and/or content translation tool usage you know at least two of the following languages: ar (Arabic), fr (French), ja (Japanese), en (English), es (Spanish), ru (Russian).

(Note: by clicking the links in the following paragraph, you will be taken to Google spreadsheet.) If you'd like to help us with translating a subset of the section titles on or before 2018-05-06, please read and follow the instructions. If you see instructions in another language, please scroll down to find your preferred language. If you have questions about this message, you can contact us via Diego. Thank you! :) --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 15:49, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

File:Opening Ceremony of a re-education camp in Lopnur County.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Misplaced Pages non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Misplaced Pages talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:15, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

Help request for uploading a photo

Hello @C933103:, thanks a lot for your photo File:Opening Ceremony of a re-education camp in Lopnur County.jpg. I feel the 6th photo Here can show the inside view of Xinjiang reeducation camps. But I found this photo in other places likeHere， HereandHere, could you please upload this photo in a correct way? We can put the photo in the paragraph of Detainees, the name can be "Detainees were listening speeches in number 4 re-education camp in Lop County, Xinjiang, April, 2017", thanks again over this matter.--KAAN777 (talk) 10:22, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

@KAAN777: According to the watermark, it seems like those photo were originally published by a Tencent Wechat MP Platform public account named XJSFXZ, can you find/access the original Wechat MP article (If it is still available), archive it using archive.org or archive.is services, and then give me the link? C933103 (talk) 13:47, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

@C933103:,I searched for the mentioned news above in the XJSFXZ's official Wechat account, but it is not available now.--KAAN777 (talk) 16:44, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

@C933103:, thanks for your photo File:Xinjiang Re-education Camp Lopnur County.jpg. The county name here should be Lop County, Lopnur and Lop are different counties in Xinjiang, so does it possible to change the county's name in the image to Lop County? Furthermore, it is better we upload this photo for public use, it also can be used in other language wiki pages.--KAAN777 (talk) 10:01, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

@KAAN777: I have added the request rename template onto the file description page, it will be renamed once someone with required right come across and process the image. And then, because the image is copyrighted, it is impossible to upload them onto wikimedia commons directly under the current system due to legality reason. If you want to use the image on other wikis, then you should check those wikis' rule on fair use copyrighted image, and if they allow such practice, adhere to those guidelines strictly. Generally speaking, you can try to look at those templates I used to upload the image onto English Misplaced Pages, find the foreign language version of those templates on foreign language wikis, and then fill in the templates according to instruction using description of the file I uploaded as example when uploading the media onto those foreign wiki. Remember to upload to the "local" wiki site instead of the "commons" for these fair use copyrighted media. Also, note that there should be at little as possible images of this nature on each Misplaced Pages article. See also Misplaced Pages:Non-free_content. C933103 (talk) 10:25, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

Alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have recently shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Misplaced Pages's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Panasonic P-02C moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Panasonic P-02C, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Misplaced Pages). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Misplaced Pages's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Criticism of Huawei, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page UFS (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Non-free image use

I removed your addition of a non-free image of a television programme to Video game addiction. There is no commentary and discussion on the specific work (not the content of the screenshot, but the program from which it originated), which is required in order to meet WP:NFCC #8 requirements. ViperSnake151  Talk  04:12, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

@ViperSnake151: The way I understand the WP:NFCC #8 requirements is that how the image would enhance readers' understanding on the topic, not how the image source is directly relevant to the article subject. Is there any other explanation/example/legal advise that suggest discussion of a specific work that an image originate must be necessary to meet the contextual significance requirement?C933103 (talk) 05:19, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

This is a common interpretation per WP:NFCI. The specific scenarios relevant here are either video screenshots "For critical commentary and discussion of the work in question (i.e., films, television programs, and music videos)." or "Images that are themselves subject of commentary.". It fails the first because the specific CCTV program is not discussed, and the second because the specific scene in this specific program is not a subject of commentary.

Orphaned non-free image File:Who profit from web addict teenagers.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Who profit from web addict teenagers.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ___CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 14:46, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Muddying the Huawei issue

It is being treated as all one issue by media. The timing is not coincidental. Stop trying to remove certain sides in violation of WP:NPOV: this is part of a larger pattern of the US government clearly doing everything it can to keep Huawei out of the market. ViperSnake151  Talk  21:38, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

@ViperSnake151: According to my understanding, The timing of various actions taken by American government against Huawei in the past May are indeed not coincidental. However, that is a consequence of those actions being delayed to after trade talk collapse. And none of those action are related to security of 5G network (nominally they are related to "national security", as in supplying parts to Iran could boost Iran's ability to damage American interest, but that's not about 5G), so even if you link them all together they are still not related to 5G network security.

Important notice: post-1992 American politics

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Misplaced Pages's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

--Sangdeboeuf (talk) 22:49, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

@Sangdeboeuf:I was thinking about how to conclude the controversy in a single or two paragraph but have been failing at using appropriate words to describe it. I think additional words are necessary there as it absolutely doesn't read right in the public controversy section to introduce this US-centric subject to reader with UK's and Australia's perspective first. Do you have any idea on how to fix it?C933103 (talk) 23:04, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

As I said on the talk page, the first step is to find reliable, secondary sources that are about the controversy and independent of it, rather than opinion essays that are examples of said controversy. --Sangdeboeuf (talk) 23:16, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

That is also something I personally find quite difficult on such a highly politicized topic, maybe I should try to switch to a different search engine? C933103 (talk) 23:21, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

We may have to wait for such sources to emerge. Until then we should refrain from evaluating and interpreting the controversy ourselves in the article. --Sangdeboeuf (talk) 23:38, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory

Your recent editing history at Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Rongbatsa Agreement moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Rongbatsa Agreement, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Misplaced Pages). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Misplaced Pages's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 14:25, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
