Hi, thanks for your Robert Graves comment. Could you add the full Penguin page ref that you mention by Graves' name detail at the head of the article? I have added the "von" bit. Any other useful (ref'd) biographical info you come across in the book would be very welcome. Thanks Span (talk) 17:08, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Reverting edits under discussion on MMY

Thanks for your note. However I'm not sure why you're addressing it to me. Many editors of that article make "unilateral" edits and engage in reverts.[1] There are active discussions on the talk page, and we're all working towards a better article. If you want to prohibit reverts, please set the example you want others to follow.   Will Beback  talk  04:08, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Don't believe every complaint you see without looking into it further. You say I should "consider carefully" Keithbob's accusation of page ownership. I encourage you to look a little more carefully before you assume that charge is accurate. Here's a list of contributors to the MMY biography: [2]. Aside from myself, the top nine editors are all apparently MMY followers. Keithbob alone has made almost twice as many edits to the article as I have, and collectively those eight editors have made 1,785 edits, more than eight times as many edits as I've made. So if your concern is with article ownership, then I think you need to look at the person who made that accusation. I assume you don't think that an article on a religious leader should belong to his followers. As for my own behavior, I discuss my edits and work with other editors in a collegial and civil manner. Enjoy your wikibreak, I look to working with you more in the future, on the MMY and other articles.   Will Beback  talk  07:21, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

I'm surprised by your statement Will. The TM arbitration clearly did not group together editors or label them, and I'd suggest we follow that example. Unless editors have labelled themselves as "followers", I'd also suggest that you don't either. Clearly, as the sources indicate using a technique does not in anyway indicate someone is a "follower" of MMY, and have all of these editors on your list said specifically they use this technique, or are you assuming that.

The numbers you cite above are relatively meaningless. As overall edit numbers, they don't indicate the kind of edits; copy edits pile up fast while adding content and sources may add up slowly, nor can ownership be claimed from simply counting edit numbers, nor for that matter can ownership be claimed by the kinds of edits an editor makes. Ownership is a state of mind that allows an editor to think they can control both editors and articles, and that for some reason they have a right to do so. And if you are suggesting that edit numbers indicate some affiliation to the TM organization, a real stretch at best, then you as the editor who seems to have have written more TM related articles than any other other editor on your "list" by extension must be affiliated as well. I'd suggest treating editors as individuals, and that labeling editors hints at bias, while tossing them into a meaningless category and isolating them as a group that you then suggest has biased control in itself appears to be a way of creating ownership for yourself.(olive (talk) 17:43, 23 May 2011 (UTC))

Edit counts are not the only symptom of ownership, just the most easily accessed. Littleolive oil and other editors have engaged in a range of ownership behaviors but I don't see the benefit in listing them all here. My point is just that sometimes editors accuse other of the very behavior in which they're engaged. I think that's the case with Keithbob, which is why I consider his accusations to be made with unclean hands.

If there is a problem with any specific edits of mine I'd be happy to discuss them on the relevant talk page.   Will Beback  talk  23:37, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Will. Your comments are completely predictable.(olive (talk) 17:48, 24 May 2011 (UTC))

As is the agreement among the pro-TM editors. If editors don't wish to be treated as a group they shouldn't act like a group.   Will Beback  talk  06:44, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Why don't we use the TM arbitration as a guide...It didn't group or reprimand editors as a group, and neither should we.(olive (talk) 16:46, 25 May 2011 (UTC))

The ArbCom laid out a number of principles, including the importance of following NPOV for COI editors, and of verifiably summarizing reliable sources. I look forward to all the editors following those admonitions. I have good faith that we will do so. Even you.   Will Beback  talk  09:47, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Recent Edits to Cappadocian Fathers

In a recent edit, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. ReformedArsenal (talk) 12:06, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

As the edit summary made clear, there was mixed use of Br and Am spelling in the article. MOS is clear that that should be corrected. In the case of a European subject I see no reason to favor Am. Further, the article has sister articles (in this case brother articles), Gregory of Nyssa, Basil of Caesarea and Naucratius, which are in Br Eng. There may be no explicit policy on this, I'm not sure, but it seems proper that there should be a consistent approach. Cheers. Spicemix (talk) 12:32, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

FYI

Hi. I just wanted to give you a heads up that I reverted some edits you made on SS Kronprinz Wilhelm‎. Nothing really major, just some grammatical issues. We don't use the long hyphens to separate dates and we don't start sentences with numerals. When starting sentences with a number we almost always spell it out. Thanks for your contributions to the project! -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:09, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the courtesy of this note, I appreciate it. I take the point about not beginning a sentence with numerals, but I think it will look odd at longer nos, 131, etc.

With number ranges such as 1914/1918 I thought there was clear policy: see MOS:NDASH. If you look in the lead of the article you'll see 1914–1915. When you say "we", do you mean a local consensus at a WikiProject? Thanks again, Spicemix (talk) 12:04, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Uggh. I stand corrected. The shorter form of the dash (en) is used for denoting date spans. -Ad Orientem (talk) 16:32, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Cheers, I wish there was a bot that could go round correcting all these hyphen/endash/emdash issues, it would save a lot of gnomishness. Spicemix (talk) 18:00, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

I left this reply on my talk page: I am sorry for the delayed reply but I have been in the hospital for tests for a few days. I have removed the material again. I do not see any relevance to the article for this statement of a rape by a nephew even if he inherited some of the property. Besides that, it was unsourced when it was originally put in the article and it remained unsourced because the bare urls put into the text (improperly) simply referred back to the editing page of the article. I do not watchlist articles in which I find problems when looking at recent changes because they would run into the many thousands, so I can't guarantee that this will not be put back in the article. If it is, I hope someone is watching who will realize it is not supported, really it is not even relevant. Donner60 (talk) 18:21, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

James FitzJames, 1st Duke of Berwick

I wonder if you can help me to find a reference for this article, James FitzJames, 1st Duke of Berwick? There are several referances to "White-Spunner", but this author is not listet in the bibliography. Can we possible identify him and his book? --Finn Bjørklid (talk) 19:25, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

"Specific links"

Hello.

Why did you "restore specific links"? Per what guideline? How does that help the reader? In the context, e.g. Weaver's place of death, the article refers to "Des Moines, Iowa". It does not refer to Iowa itself.

One should avoid common link targets, so where did you see a guideline supporting your changes?

Regards

HandsomeFella (talk) 07:28, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for being in touch. Please note that this is a featured article with that style of link and I was restoring it. When I researched it some time ago I found there has repeatedly been consensus on the MOS talk page for that style; whether it has made it into the manual I don't know. Here is a recent example from an FA. But the preference is clear to me: people clicking on the second element of the link get what they want, or if you feel the second element is redundant as in Victoria above, then it needn't be linked. Spicemix (talk) 10:31, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for answering. I'm afraid I don't follow, and I can't see that you answered any of my questions. At this particular moment, the article's "style of link" is inconsistent, with "Place, State" linked separately in the infobox, while in the lead section, "Place" links to "Place, State" and "State" is unlinked, and in the first sentence of the first section, "Place, State" is linked, as one unit, to "Place, State".

Yes, it's an FA article, which is why I think it's important with consistency. And, following the guideline MOS:OVERLINK, which discourages links to common targets, "The names of major geographic features and locations, languages, nationalities and religions". FA articles are not exempt from this.

If the article refers to Dayton, Ohio, it's not referring to the state of Ohio, it's referring to a place in that state. There's no need to link the state separately, as per MOS:OVERLINK.

Regards,

Feedback request

I'd appreciate some feedback about whether this content is worth inclusion in the main Ali article or in a new Ali article: Ali. Thanks. Soham321 (talk) 23:36, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Which content and what would the new Ali article be? Spicemix (talk) 23:39, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

This is the new content: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Soham321/Ali

If this material is not fit to go in the main Ali article but in a new article, then the new article would be containing details pertaining to Ali's religious beliefs, including the progression of his religious beliefs. Soham321 (talk) 23:45, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi Soham, sorry I didn't notice your wikilink in your first post. Well you know my general view that Ali is one of the most notable figures of the 20th century. I support coverage of all aspects of his life. I think this is a case for the creation of a daughter article and perhaps a rewrite of the existing religious content in the main article. The main article could expand almost infinitely without this policy. I recommend that you work up the material in your sandbox further before creating the article, more clearly to demonstrate notability. What would you call it—Religious and political beliefs of MA? Cheers. Spicemix (talk) 18:33, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

ok let me try to expand on my sandbox page and then we can decide what to do with the content. Not sure about the title yet; we'll have a better idea once we see the expanded content. thanks. Soham321 (talk) 18:36, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

Georgian with a big P

User:PoshSpiceMix at the recent Wikimedia "GenreCap-a-thon", held at Butlins, Skegness

Hi Spicemix. Thanks for the tidy up over at W. H. Davies. Re: Georgian poetry, as you may have seen, there is no article for any "Literary movement" or "genre" as such, just a re-direct to that article for the "series of anthologies showcasing ... published by Harold Monro and edited by Edward Marsh", which is essentially a series title. That's why I considered a capital P more proper. It seems debatable. Cheers. Martinevans123 (talk) 07:33, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Martin. I was following policy MOS:GENRECAPS, section 17 at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Capital letters. Cheers! Spicemix (talk) 09:27, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Ah yes, as if that policy was ever contentious!? I'll try and grind my teeth quietly. Perhaps you believe, as many do, that "Georgian poetry" is a real movement or genre, even though we don't have an article for it. But I'll take care never to refer to you as "Posh Spice with a capital P." Martinevans123 (talk) 09:54, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Two-letter state abbreviations

Oklahoma . In the past whenever it was brought up anybody I talked about it with admitted they weren't clear as to whether it applied to everywhere in the text or only in body text (since infobox and, especially, footnote, text is smaller and the full state name may not be as readable (for accessibility reasons, we stopped using "½" in favor of the more-complicated-to-type "1⁄2")). I am aware of it not being as transparent to readers outside of North America, but to me that's always had a simple solution: Link the town name and the abbreviation, so readers can mouse over it (Not a solution in print, though).

I'll admit some of the counterarguments are valid: not everyone, even in the US, is clear on what all of them (I can see people mixing up the Montana and Minnesota abbreviations, although that's about the only pair that I can see being confused). I wish I had had a chance to be involved in that discussion, but really it's such a minor issue. Daniel Case (talk) 22:27, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

MOS:CAPTION (Mercury Seven)

As I said in my edit summary, I agree with you, the guideline as written doesn't make much sense, but since you cited it, I thought it was more logical to omit the edit, as the caption as written conformed to the guideline. Would you like to go to Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style and argue for a change in the guideline? (Good luck with that, though.) JustinTime55 (talk) 14:54, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. The MOS quote was "if any complete sentence occurs in a caption, then every sentence and every sentence fragment in that caption should end with a period". My understanding is that there is no complete sentence in the caption because there is no finite verb. There are only sentence fragments in the caption and thus there is no final period.

wstitle parameter

With this edit (Revision as of 10:04, 6 August 2021 ) you broke the link to a Wikisource article. DNB articles on Wikisource use a dash not an ndash in dab extensions. Use the display= parameter to display the article name with an ndash on the Wikipedia page. Please fix you script not to alter templates with a wstitle= parameter. There is a category of pages which shows broken links to the Wikisource articles caused by such edits. PBS (talk) 16:19, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello Spicemix!

• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
• Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
• If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.
