[edit]

Yeah, fair call to revert me. I wasn't sure if it made it better. I would normally post stuff like that on the talk page, but you can't really let people know exactly how you plan to change it, without actually doing it. Thought it would be best just to edit the page and see what people thought. No worries. Nate Hooper (talk) 11:50, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Turkish-backed Free Syrian Army, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Democratic Union Party (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask any of the project coordinators or any other experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive

[edit]

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

  • tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
  • adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
  • updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
  • creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

New Timeline of the Syrian Civil War Page

[edit]

Hello RopeTricks, now that we're well into September, and the Timeline of the Syrian Civil War (May–August 2019) page has been updated, we're in need of a new page for the September-December period, since you made the last page I figured I'd ask if you'd make the new one. 16:37, 16 September 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.141.79.8 (talk)

Timeline of the Syrian Civil War (September–December 2019) moved to draftspace

[edit]

An article you recently created, Timeline of the Syrian Civil War (September–December 2019), 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 Wikipedia). 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 Wikipedia'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.

"The 13 European member countries act as partners in the construction and operation of ESS.[4] ESS will start the scientific user programme in 2023, and the construction phase will be complete by 2025."

"Disruptive editing"

[edit]

First of all, I would appreciate it if you could refraining from calling it that. I simply don't believe we need that many links in a single sentence, paragraph, or section. If our readers are interested in any of those topics or people, they can look them up themselves. The links I removed are not particularly obscure. Nerd271 (talk) 06:06, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, it is disruptive. You continue to repeatedly remove internal links that only serve to help readers of a global audience. Honest editors should not assume readers of a global audience will know what "Mossad" is, for example. It is bizarre to mention George W. Bush and Barack Obama in an article not about them, without at the very least linking to their pages. The links are not excessive or "distracting". RopeTricks (talk) 06:14, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Frankly, I have a higher opinion of our readers. They are on the Internet, after all. Unless the name or term is particularly obscure, there is no need for an internal link. Furthermore, Wikipedia is not a link depository. Think about the people on a mobile phone. They can't just hover the cursor over the links just to get a preview. We should do our readers a favor by keeping our pages clean. Nerd271 (talk) 06:16, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Frankly, I think it is simply courteous to at least leave 1 (one) link to specific names of organizations or individuals that are mentioned for the sake of easy navigation for inquiring readers. Most of what you removed was not overlinked or cluttered. RopeTricks (talk) 06:22, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You made me re-read what you wrote there. Ha! But if you like your internal links, for the goodness sake, please don't put links that already exist. Do we need another one for Qasem Soleimani or drone strike?

Yeah, I'm kind of sleep deprived and forgot to put "not". I get your point and respect it and I have attempted to compromise by trimming the section, while re-adding only some links. Just once. I agree in principle it's not necessary to link twice if the terms are close together. RopeTricks (talk) 06:31, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well, in that case I hope you get some sleep soon. Thank you for your understanding and compromise. Nerd271 (talk) 06:35, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, mate. RopeTricks (talk) 06:48, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

First Time Ever A Disease in US?

[edit]

Please include dates of millions of other diseases that happened in the US over the pas 1000 years. What was the first case ever of Malaria in US that killed 100 million + over the world? why on Earth isn't that listed in which ever year it had happened? What makes the Wuhan coronavirus more significant than new diseases that are reported almost every year? It happening on the US for the first time is strictly a domestic event. Surely we can report millions of diseases from nearly 200 of countries in all the year articles separately. Hepatitis C which is far more signnificant thann this new disease was discovered in 1989, it is not listed on 1989, let alone mentioning the first case of it on the US. What makes your new disease more relevant than diseases with millions of death? Dilbaggg (talk) 09:19, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The U.S. is not even a 1,000 years old. Anyway, it's relevant because exactly that, it's a new disease. It's far too soon to determine if this disease outbreak will not be consequential on a world stage. It would be improper to just pretend that this new virus strain outbreak that has spread across oceans within just a couple weeks is not occurring and somehow not notable, based on dubious reasoning such as "but there's other viruses too!". Even if this disease was adequately contained in coming weeks and months, it is still worth noting that this new strain of this virus spread so quickly to the U.S. specifically. If you'd like to go back and mention Hep C and Malaria in their respective year articles, no one's stopping you from trying. RopeTricks (talk) 09:37, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly it is "far too soon". It is not the first new disease, nor will be the last new disease, they come and go every now and then. We must wait and see if it has as much impact as malaria and hepatitis c. But yeah i don't wanna edit war over minor stuffs like these so lets keep it, but please don't go adding countless new diseases that are to emerge just because they have happens in the US for the first time. It is after all a wikipedia article not a day by day news coverage article. Check the 2005 article it doesn't mention the bird flu pandemic and the Indian flood which killed 1ooos of people that year, the latter because at that time there was a wikipedia recent year policy domestic events cannot be added. January 2020 has almost the same amount of content as the entire 2005 year, as do all years since 2018 when the recent year article policy was lifted. 2020 will be the most eventful year ever (only according to wikipedia) if users keep adding everything as though its a day by day news coverage website as they have been doing sine the recent years policy was lifted.

This time the regime hasn't been reported to lose them however.

"Protester violence" edits

Hi RopeTricks. You've made a few edits now to this wording on the article on George Floyd Protests.

Boogaloo

[edit]

Sir/Ma’am I would like to have a chance to talk to you about the Boogaloo Movement, and some of what I believe is misinformation on their description. As well as misinformation I have read on other articles associated with them such as the George Floyd article. The biggest such piece of misinformation I believe is their designation of far right. The Movement encompasses the whole Left Right spectrum of the political compass, it’s only real requirement is that you are in the Libertarian quadrant and not the Authoritarian quadrant. The boogaloo marches with BLM, Antifa, and another person who is tired of Tyranny, and disassociates itself from white nationalism, in fact is made up of every race, creed, and orientation. I would very much like to talk with you about this, or find out who is responsible for the page.

Thank you for your time. DocShortBus99 (talk) 16:55, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I personally think that the so-called "Boogaloo movement" - I've seen some people debate whether its really even a "movement" of any force and not just a creation by media "journalists" to easily label a group of people on the internet they don't fully comprehend, a "ghost" movement of sorts - is more amorphous than wikipedia's article on the topic (which, like articles on most contemporary politics, is shaped and molded by whatever cited news media sources editors personally prefer) seems to portray. They seem to, at most, collectively skew to the political right, at most. I have no idea who created the article. RopeTricks (talk) 06:41, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You were the last one to edit the page, that is why I reached out to you. There are other articles I have see with you associated on editing that also mention them as Far-Right. This couldn’t be farther from the truth, though there are bad actors like in every loose organization, this is a Left right libertarian movement. They weed out white nationalists, and try to be as exclusive as possible. There are members of Antifa and BLM that are part of the movement. I can attest it truly is a movement, built solely on social unrest, with hope for a change to our way of governance. The fact that they are militant, doesn’t Mean they want a civil war of blood shed, just that they are ready for it if it comes to that. Nobody wants to fight their neighbor, as nobody wins at that point. The media, all media, either misunderstands what they are, or wishes to paint them in a bad light for purposes of division. I simply am reaching out to someone who has the ability to edit the page. DocShortBus99 (talk) 12:48, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

AFD 2020-2021 United States racial protest

[edit]

Your explanation is clearly the best and most convincing. I am the original nominator for AFD but your explanation is the reason for me changing my vote. Feel free to non-administrative close it.

Others "keep" reasons were not as clearly written as yours. Vowvo (talk) 23:50, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate that. Glad we can come to an understanding. RopeTricks (talk) 00:32, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

February 2021

[edit]

Information icon Hi RopeTricks! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at American-led intervention in the Syrian civil war that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. --Renat 21:40, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"do you not even read the linked articles before you revert?"

[edit]

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brinkmanship&diff=1007965447&oldid=1007948918

there were no linked articles, you just added them now, the sentence was previously unsupported by sources

previously you asked here "Again, Why did it expand? Because talks collapsed. Why did you remove this?" when I previously explained that here and gave you a NYT link to prove it

soibangla (talk) 01:04, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

When I said "Linked articles" i was referring to the peace process wikipedia page that was already wiki-linked/piped in the subsection, not cited news articles. I assumed you knew what "linked articles" was supposed to mean, as I use the term "article" to refer to wikipages as well. But that's my mistake for assuming and not making that clear. RopeTricks (talk) 01:15, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You needed sources, which you added after the fact. soibangla (talk) 01:19, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
