Hallo, Thanks for creating the article Jessica Sales which I came across while stub-sorting. To mark an article as a stub, please just add {{stub}}, right at the end. Don't add a stub category, don't add a wikitable: those just complicate matters. Thanks. PamD 11:50, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Red

[edit]

Hi there, Crisantom, and welcome to Women in Red. I see you have already written quite a few biographies of women and you now intend to concentrate on environmentalists. You might find it useful to use our redlists, particularly those on environmentalists and climatologists. If you have not already done so, you should perhaps look through our Primer for creating women's biographies. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 10:51, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hitler-fighter articles need help: Erhard Auer & Münchener Post

[edit]

Erhard Auer was the Editor in Chief of the Münchener Post, it was shut down by Hitler in March 1933 immediately after he became the Reich Chancellor. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party called the newspaper and its editors "Giftküche" (The Poison Kitchen) and "Münchener Pest ("Munich Pestilence" or "Munich Plague"). Hitler considered the paper one of his most vexing public adversaries, and the paper was the target of libel actions by the Nazi Party. The paper was one of the few early warning voices regarding the dangers posed by the rise of the Nazi Party, although their warnings went largely unheeded at the time. Auer was imprisoned in the Dachau concentration camp and died 20 March 1945. The first book written on Erhard Auer and the Münchener Post was in 2013, in Brazil. .... 0mtwb9gd5wx (talk) 19:22, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Crisantom, just wanted to welcome you to Wikipedia:WikiProject Squatting! Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions and I'll try to help if I can. Ongoing tasks include writing more articles, globalizing the coverage and creating articles on 'Squatting in X', such as Squatting in the Philippines, which with the help of your edits recently became a good article. All the best for 2022! Mujinga (talk) 13:06, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Student Movement in the Philippines (1965-1972)

Hi. I was wondering if you had any insight about how to fix the Student Movement in the Philippines (1965-1972) article? I raised a concern Talk:Student_movement_in_the_Philippines_(1965–1972), and I am not sure what next steps are needed. - Thundersub (talk) 15:17, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Thundersub. Thanks for the ping. Was just thinking of taking a short Wiki break but will consider the very good points you raised. - Crisantom (talk) 00:13, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, @Diannaa,
There was no malice or harm intended. Because of the sensitive nature of the topic, I had not wanted to stray too far from the contents of the source I cited. Reviewing my addition, I see now how I tried and failed to do a close paraphrasing, having left in two sentence fragments (39 to 43 words by my count) that remained identical to the source. I take full responsibility for the mistake. I had exercised poor judgment and I am truly sorry.
I have attempted to rewrite the paragraph and I would like to ask if you could kindly review it:
Defendants lied to investigators and the public about the murder weapon. According to a Vera Files report, General Prospero Olivas promoted the theory that a Magnum .357 taken from Galman was used in Aquino’s assassination. However, Olivas excluded from his accounts chemistry report C-83-1136, which showed that fragments extracted from Aquino were from a .38 caliber or .45 caliber revolver.

Women in Red 8th Anniversary

[edit]
Women in Red 8th Anniversary
In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap!

MOS:RACECAPS: re: "Indigenous"

[edit]

This apparently refers to North American practice referring to Native Americans as "Indigenous". None of the indigenous peoples of the Philippines are Native American in origin, so the common noun "indigenous" looks to be correct. Howard the Duck (talk) 17:34, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Howard the Duck. I took the rule to mean Indigenous peoples of Australia, Asia, and the rest of the world, and not exclusively to Native American peoples. I think this would be consistent with AP style (https://apnews.com/article/archive-race-and-ethnicity-9105661462), though I understand Wikipedia has its own style recommendations. I am basing my interpretation on this passage: "The capitalized form will be more appropriate in the company of other upper-case terms of this sort (Asian–Pacific, Black, Hispanic, Native American, Indigenous, and White demographic categories)", and taking it to apply not just to North American usage, but I could also be reading this wrong. Would be happy to hear your thoughts. - Crisantom (talk) 02:14, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The terms "Hispanic", "Asian-Pacific", and "Native American" are almost exclusively North American, implying the others in the set are North American usages, as well. These race labels are mostly done on settler countries. The Japanese don't lump themselves with Koreans and Tongans as "Asian-Pacific" on their census, for example. Howard the Duck (talk) 03:42, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fair point. I will defer to your judgment and revert my edits on indigenous peoples of the Philippines. - Crisantom (talk) 09:32, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Caught by an open proxy block

[edit]

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

Crisantom (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 152.32.96.71. Crisantom (talk) 00:03, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notes:

  • In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
  • Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.
Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 152.32.96.71. [[User:Crisantom|Crisantom]] ([[User talk:Crisantom#top|talk]]) 00:03, 14 December 2024 (UTC) |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 152.32.96.71. [[User:Crisantom|Crisantom]] ([[User talk:Crisantom#top|talk]]) 00:03, 14 December 2024 (UTC) |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed |1=Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 152.32.96.71. [[User:Crisantom|Crisantom]] ([[User talk:Crisantom#top|talk]]) 00:03, 14 December 2024 (UTC) |accept = accept reason here ~~~~}}

@Yamla, this one's one of yours. Is it possible to reduce the collateral damage or? -- asilvering (talk) 01:22, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That IP address in particular is a verified proxy. The user should disable their proxy and wait a full 24 hours for the block to clear. If they have a compelling need to continue using proxies, WP:IPBE may be an option (but note I haven't verified the technical evidence yet). --Yamla (talk) 13:34, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
