Internet culture barnstar for Birds Aren't Real

		The Internet culture Barnstar
		I just went on a mini–emotional rollercoaster as follows: *Listening to The Daily episode on Birds Aren't Real* *Wonders if it has a Misplaced Pages article* *Realizes that this would make a fantastic DYK and starts getting excited* *Searches and sees there's already a Misplaced Pages article and starts getting a little nervous* *Goes to the article and sees it's too long for an easy 5x expansion and heart sinks* *Checks the talk page and sees you nominated it for a DYK which got a ton of views and is so relieved* So for saving us from the world in which Main Page visitors never got the chance to learn that Birds Aren't Real, I hereby present to you this barnstar. Cheers, {{u|Sdkb}}  22:24, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

FAC talk archives

I'm not familiar with how the one-click archiver works but it looks like it needs the "archive" string to have a lower case A -- it created a parallel "Archive" archive. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 13:49, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

It looks ok to me; I'm not seeing the mistake? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:53, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

An, now I see, yes Mike is correct. The last archive should have gone to archive88, not Archive88; I will fix it. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:56, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Weird, it looks like FAC talk archives are not set up in the usual way. Anyway, I fixed the problem. (t · c) buidhe 13:56, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Yes, a long long time ago, we wanted to be able to have more manual control over archives, to make sure stuff ended up the right year, and sometimes with a label for ease of locating. It looks good now; I'm not sure if adding {{Archive basics}} pointing at the lower a will work; Archive basics has been wonky lately. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:01, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Baghdad Vilayet

I've finished moving the pages for this RM (permalink) you opened and was wondering if there was a reason you did not include Baghdad Vilayet? As far as I can tell it was the only vilayet not included in this RM. I'd be happy to move it as well if you intended to include it. Elli (talk | contribs) 23:00, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Yes, I intended to include them all but I must have missed this one. Thanks for closing the RM! (t · c) buidhe 01:24, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

Question

Hi Buidhe. I opened this CfD some time ago. Although everyone voiced support, it hasn't been closed/implemented yet. Would you be willing to close it? Thanks, - LouisAragon (talk) 17:08, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

LouisAragon Unfortunately, CfD is the deletion process that tends to have the longest backlog. I can't close it because I participated in the discussion. (t · c) buidhe 02:47, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Please refrain from edit warring

You have based your edits on 0 sources and so base them on no substance beyond your own subjective opinion.

It is hilarious that you're trying to frame this as if I'm edit warring here. Step off your high horse (unwarranted completely, too) and take it to the Talk page of the article. Provide meaningful in-depth discussion or leave the case for more informed editors. LordParsifal (talk) 09:46, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

@LordParsifal: I suggest you review MOS:LEAD. You're attempting to include content in the article lead that isn't in the article body. If you believe that content should be in the article, the proper place to add it is the body, before adding it to the lead. Elli (talk | contribs) 10:09, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

What isn't in the article body? I don't understand. The lead only talks of a high proportion of Jews. In the rest of the article we can find that of the 21 members of the Central Committee in 1917, 5 were Jewish. That's 24%. That is a high proportion compared to the 4% of Jews in the general population (Russian census of 1897). The antisemitic conspiracy theory is about the Jewish members of the Bolshevik Party forming a (Jewish) conspiration—an old trope. The fact of Jews being overrepresented in the Bolshevik Party is a fact, not the conspiracy theory. The conspiracy theory pertains to the motives, not the ethnic makeup.

Image for Assassination of Talaat Pasha's TFA

Hey buidhe, I was looking at the image for Assassination of Talaat Pasha's TFA, and noticed that it's quite difficult to make out what the image is depicting when it is thumb-sized. Would it be OK if I asked a Wiki-image restorer, perhaps Adam Cuerden, to restore the image? If it is completed in time, I would ask that the image in the TFA and the article be swapped for the restored image. Z1720 (talk) 16:43, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi Z1720, unfortunately the problems with this image are not really amenable to restoration (there is a great loss of information in the original, which cannot be fixed). I have uploaded a new version that is hopefully easier to see but I don't think much further improvement is possible. (t · c) buidhe 17:13, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

How about an image of Talaat Pasha, say this one instead? – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 07:27, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Greek Genocide

Grats on your work on the Armenian and Assyrian genocides. Could an article on the Greek Genocide perhaps be in the works?--Catlemur (talk) 18:38, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Not likely, I doubt the editors who watch that page would allow an NPOV article to be written. (t · c) buidhe 18:42, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Ah I see. Give me a ping if you change your mind, there a couple of libraries in my area with books on the topic.--Catlemur (talk) 19:15, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

WP:AFC Helper News

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

• AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
• The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 15:59, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Jewish Bolshevism

Curiosity

I was wondering if you are going to nominate either Armenian Genocide denial or Armenian Genocide for TFA, and then thought asking you would be better than speculating. I also noticed that both April 23 and 24 are still free at TFAN, and the rest of April is rapidly filling up. - Kevo (talk) 19:16, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Reopening Move Request on Witbank -> eMalahleni_eMalahleni-2022-02-20T23:26:00.000Z">

Hello buidhe, I was wondering if you could reopen the move request for Witbank. Given recent discussions around the use of ngrams I believe the move request deserves further discussion. Just citing google search or ngrams without context is highly misleading and there was not rational given for closing the move request. I provided reliable, recently published English language sources that use the new name. While there were two Oppose votes, I believe it is not unfair to mention that those two users tend to follow me around for every single edit I make just to oppose it. Their opposition seems fairly vacuous. Desertambition (talk) 23:26, 20 February 2022 (UTC)_eMalahleni"> _eMalahleni">

Hi Desertambition, the move request closed over a month ago and it was 2 oppose, 1 support. I think it's better not to assume that the other editors participating had malign motives. Instead, I suggest waiting a few months and starting a new request with additional evidence supporting the move, if there is any. (t · c) buidhe 23:38, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

That does not address the substance of the arguments at all. I do not mean to suggest that their intentions are entirely maligned. I feel like we need to look at the actual evidence to determine what the name is rather than a poll of two people, one which did not even provide thorough reasoning.

Proposed deletion of Crimson (typeface)

Please specify what "coverage" or "independent and reliable sources" is required on Crimson (typeface), per your proposed deletion.

For the former, please specify the topics which you believe will improve the quality of the page. For the latter, all information on the page are factual and are supported by images. I will revise the page if your suggestions are concrete and constructive. Thunderbird2013 (talk) 23:27, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi Thunderbird2013, I don't question the accuracy of the article but rather we have specific guidelines that need to be met in order to include an article in the encyclopedia. Generally, there would need to be multiple sources (such as reviews, for instance) that are independent of the typeface and discuss it. See WP:Notability. (t · c) buidhe 23:42, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi Buidhe, thank you for your clarification. I agree that the scope of the page can be expanded, but I will object to the deletion for a number of reasons.

First, you are essentially suggesting the inclusion of subjective opinions on the page (in the forms of reviews or other people's "discussion" on the typeface, as you put it). When I created the page, I purposely keep the information as factual as possible, as I recognise that typography can be subjective and I believe biased opinions are not beneficial to the community. I further backed up any claim on its design with images, which provide more value to the readers than the opinions expressed by single individuals.

Second, digital typefaces are software and it is especially true for an open-source typeface such as Crimson. Hence, the most important sources of information on its design goals are software repositories such as GitHub and CTAN, which I have repeatedly cited on the page. Review-type information is welcomed, but is secondary (and, by definition, biased).

Third, with a few exceptions (e.g., Roboto), open-source typefaces are seldom formally reviewed, and are never academically studied and described in research outputs. What you suggested are not realistic or practical. Nevertheless, Crimson and its variant Crimson Pro are some of the most popular open source typefaces available, as such information about this typeface should clearly be documented on Misplaced Pages.

I thank you again for your feedback, but please flag sections as needing for expansion if you think that elaboration on their contents can be constructive. Thunderbird2013 (talk) 12:01, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi Thunderbird, I apologize if I wasn't clear above but the problem with the article isn't its content. Rather, the encyclopedia does not cover any topic that exists; we can only cover topics that have been covered by independent sources, per WP:N. If you're telling me that no such sources exist, the article should be deleted. (t · c) buidhe 19:06, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

PD-text or not?

Hi! Sorry for this random message. I was concerned about File:Sirhan1.jpg and 2. It has been on Commons for around 14(!) years, licenced as {{PD-USGov-FBI}}. But, it is really not a work of FBI. FBI may have used it in its investigation, but that does not make it the author. Sirhan Sirhan is the author of the photographed work, who is (1) neither a FBI agent, (2) nor dead for 70 years. So, my question is, does Commons:Template:PD-text applies? It is more or less just handwriting. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 10:45, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that is above TOO. The only reason it might be ok is {{PD-US-no notice}}. (t · c) buidhe 18:57, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Kavyansh.Singh (t · c) buidhe 00:34, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

TOO is 'threshold of originality', right? As for PD-US-no notice, we'll need to prove that it was published during that time period without copyright notice. Because the year mentioned on the commons page is wrong. The books was published in 1978 , without a specific copyright notice for the image. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 04:29, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Yes, sorry for the jargon, TOO=threshold of originality. so PD-text would not apply. PD-US-no-notice may apply, but it's not clear to me; Nikkimaria probably knows. (t · c) buidhe 04:33, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Christianization

I just wanted to let you know that, I didn't want to, and didn't like it, and I grumbled the whole way, but I did what you asked and added an aftermath section. It annoys the stew out of me, but you may have been right. It makes the article so much longer, it should probably be deleted. :-) Anyway, I suppose I should say thank you. Wasn't that gracious of me? LOL! Thank you. I always appreciate your input even when I disagree. It's always fair. And there are not enough words for how much I value that - and you.

Denaturalization

Hello, would you please mind explaining why you've undid my edits to Denaturalization, seeing that I have already added the necessary references in the edited version? Is there a major objection on your side for my adding of the content itself, or would it be an issue with some of the content wording (in which case if you would please give your suggested improvements)? NoNews! 04:32, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Newfraferz87 If you are going to add content, it needs to be supported by reliable sources—ideally the scholarly sources which are in abundance for this topic, rather than news reports which don't necessarily show due weight. Your edit claims there are "many" ISIS brides that were denaturalized, but the ISIS brides article only refers to "dozens of girls and women". (t · c) buidhe 04:37, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Buidhe I'm afraid I don't quite understand your point, seeing that the sources that claimed the women were denaturalized are directly taken from the Brides of ISIL article which notes so. That's why I asked you the earlier question, as to whether you had problems with the content being added, or with the sources, or with my wording (in which case "many" as you've said, if I were to change it to, say, "several", that would render the sentence more accurate). I find it significant to include these cases of denaturalization so if you have any objections, I'd appreciate if you can point them out more directly. NoNews! 04:45, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Newfraferz87 Besides the failed verification issue, it seems WP:UNDUE and WP:RECENTISM to me to name individual ISIS brides or discuss a case involving the denaturalization of several people. There are many more notable denaturalized people who were for example emigrants from Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union, Palestinians, Rohingya, etc. (t · c) buidhe 04:51, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Buidhe Ok I see that there's the phenomenon of people traveling to the Middle East to fight for the Islamic State group sentence, but that sentence itself is non-specific and uncited and doesn't have intra-wiki links about the people that got involved with ISIL, and were then denaturalized. Essentially you're saying that you don't agree with both (a) naming any individuals, and (b) Using non-scholarstic sources? Suppose if I find some new sources to expand on that point and add intra-wiki links to Brides of ISIL and/or List of Islamic State members, would that be suitable? NoNews! 05:16, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

I'm wary of expanding that section of the article because, while the terrorism issue has gotten attention recently in the English-speaking world, it is a tiny percentage of overall denaturalizations. If there were an article about foreign fighters for the Islamic State, that would be reasonable to link, but a link is not essential. (t · c) buidhe 05:20, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Okay I see. I'll take note to find other relevant sections that I can first improve on then before (and if I decide to) return to this one. Thanks for your clarifications. NoNews! 05:28, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
