March for Our Live

We were editing March for Our Lives at the same time. When I clicked Save, Wikipedia accepted my version, but it may have stomped on edits you had just made. It would be easier (for me, anyway) for you to make your edits again than for me to patch them in. Sorry for the inconvenience. —Anomalocaris (talk) 08:39, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

@Anomalocaris: No worries. Happy editing!!!Coffeeandcrumbs (talk) 08:56, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

Hiral Tipirneni page

I BELIEVE THAT A MISTAKE WAS MADE IN YOUR CHOICE TO EDIT MY CONTRIBUTIONS REGARDING THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR TODAY'S SPECIAL CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.

SO THAT I MAY BE BETTER EQUIPPED IN THE FUTURE TO PROVIDE ACCURATE ADDITIONS, COULD YOU PLEASE CLARIFY, SPECIFICALLY AND PRECISELY, WHAT EXACT ERRORS WERE MADE BY MYSELF THAT HAD CAUSED YOU TO EXPUNGE THE INFORMATION THAT I CONTRIBUTED, FOR I AM CONFUSED?

IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN, THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT WAS INCLUDED WAS CITED BY REPUTABLE SOURCES (RANGING FROM LOCAL NEWS REPORTS (--TABLOID?!) TO OFFICIAL COURT DOCUMENTS)...SOME OF WHICH WERE LEFT ALONE WHEN CITED FOR OTHER LESS SENSITIVE/SUPERFICIAL INFORMATION IN THE ARTICLE.

(SPECIFICALLY AS THESE RELATE TO THE FACTUAL AND PUBLICLY AVAILABLE ACCOUNTS AND RECORDS ASSOCIATED WITH MRS. TIPIRNENI'S MEDICAL MALPRACTICE LAWSUIT, IN ADDITION, TO THE QUESTIONS AND CRITICISM THAT SURROUND HER CHOICE OF PUBLIC IMAGE/ SELF-PORTRAYAL-- BOTH OF WHICH YOU FELT WERE NOT WELCOMED ADDITIONS TO MRS. TIPIRNENI'S PAGE.

ADDITIONALLY, A CITED QUOTE FROM MRS. TIPIRNENI'S VERY OWN WEBSITE WAS DEEMED UNACCEPTABLE...

PERHAPS THESE WERE REMOVED DUE TO A TECHNICAL ISSUE, OVERSIGHT OR MISSTEP ON MY PART, I DO NOT KNOW.

I UNDERSTAND THAT MANY WISH TO REMOVE (EDIT OUT) FROM THE PUBLIC SPHERE (WIKI) SOME HARD FACTS (CRITICISM) THAT ARE INCONVENIENT TO ONE'S PERSONAL POLITICAL LEANINGS, BUT THAT ALONE IS NOT SUFFICIENT JUSTIFICATION TO SANITIZE AN ARTICLE...THE TIMING OF WHICH IS INTRIGING.

I SINCERELY HOPE THAT YOU ARE NOT PLAYING PARTISAN POLITICS ON THIS ONE, COFFEE.

THE CRITICISM THAT WAS INCLUDED WAS PUT THERE IN ORDER TO SHED SOME LIGHT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN-AS IT WERE, SO AS TO COMPLETE THE IMAGE OF A PUBLIC FIGURE...NOT TO TRY AND SABOTAGE THAT IMAGE. THE PAGE WAS/IS LACKING VITAL INFORMATION THAT AN ELECTORATE SHOULD HAVE FREE AND UNFETTERED (UNEDITED/CLEANSED) ACCESS TO, SO THAT A DECISION, EITHER TO SUPPORT OR OPPOSE, CAN BE MADE IN THE LIGHT OF THE TOTAL, AND NOT JUST THE SIDE/PORTION THAT IS DESIRED TO BE SEEN.

I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR RESPONSE.

THANK YOU.

Hello, I'm R9tgokunks. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to This is America (Childish Gambino song) have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks. R9tgokunks ✡ 06:33, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

Fuck off! I have been protecting this article from every promotional John and Jane who want to add their name to the list of personnel. Help me or get the fuck away!---Coffeeandcrumbs 02:54, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Coffeeandcrumbs, that is not an appropriate response to R9tgokunks' message. I'm sure that you both have the best interests of the article at heart. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:01, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

@Beyond My Ken: The warning was unnecessary. And the lack of any attempt to look into my edit history was offensive.

This is the edit that apparently deserved a warning tag.
R9tgokunks assumed bad faith. All I did was remove a statement that, at the time, had no source attached.
I first went and found the source and read it. Saw that it was written by a contributor to Pitchfork and not a Pitchfork staff.
And I came to a valid but disputable conclusion. Considering due weight, it is perfectly logical to think a "Best New Track" attributed to a Pitchfork contributor (not a Pitchfork staff writer) is not notable and should not be included in an article of that is relatively still short.
I was frankly pissed off that R9tgokunks gave me no chance to explain that and assumes I have some sort of personal bias against Pitchfork.

---Coffeeandcrumbs 21:40, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

1. The warning was completely valid. It was only a base level warning for an unconstructive edit.

2. If you read the source, then why did you remove it, and yet a day later insert a citation needed tag? Couldn't you muster the few clicks to cite it?

3. See this link which is located on the staff portal. [1]) Besides, your "contributor" argument gleans as weak. You could have at least checked the article for the staff member and seen that he has contributed many reviews, for tracks and album reviews alike.

4. "Best New Track" is a staple feature of Pitchfork and has been for at least 9 years. Many contributors write for the feature and are featured on Wikipedia articles for respective songs.

None of this excuses the uncivil(WP:CIVIL) behavior. That kind of thing doesn't fly on Wikipedia. R9tgokunks ⯃ 02:44, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

I encourage you to read Wikipedia:Civility#Avoiding incivility for yourself. Especially the second bullet point. I also remind you that WP:Wikipedia is not censored. When you come to my talk page and begin with assumption of bad faith and templated warning tags, I do not owe you niceties. My response is still, GO AWAY! Because, I remind you that you are still complaining that I removed unsourced material.---Coffeeandcrumbs 22:47, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

@Ribbet32: Oh! I see it now. That was not intentional. My Apologies. That was an edit conflict.---Coffeeandcrumbs 02:41, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

OK, I apologize. I swore at you and you swore at me, so we'll call it even :) Ribbet32 (talk) 03:17, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at This Is America (song) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 BRD 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Take it to the talk page; the addition of the template has been reverted. And please stop with reverting every change made to the article. You've been doing this for weeks now. Your reverts come off like WP:OWN. Ss112 07:39, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

@Ss112: What did I do now? ---Coffeeandcrumbs 07:49, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

HMS Sultan edit

Hi Coffeeandcrumbs, this edit popped up on my watchlist as a regular editor of elderly sailing ships. Idly wondering what purpose the edit serves - I've not spent time in the minutiae of date format updating so am curious as to the advantages of keeping these tags this current. -- Euryalus (talk) 01:36, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

@Euryalus: Its benefit is minor and I would be willing to totally avoid such edits if it is irksome to local editors. The reasoning is to indicate that the article has been recently checked for MOS:DATEFORMAT. When a page goes on Main Page it usually experiences a lot of edits which introduces bad date formats. The edit indicates to other gnomes that it has been recently checked.--- Coffeeandcrumbs 02:06, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

Portals WikiProject update #011, 10 July 2018

We now have 97 participants.

Be sure to welcome our newest members, BrantleyIzMe, Coffeeandcrumbs, and Nolan Perry, with warm regards.

Work is proceeding apace. We have 2 major thrusts right now: converting the intro sections of portals, and building the components of the one-page automated model...

Converting the intro sections

We need everybody, except those building software components, to work on converting intros. If you have AWB, definitely use that. If not, then work on them manually. Even one a day, or as often as you can muster, will help a lot. There are only about 1,000 of them left to go, so if everyone chips in, it will go pretty quickly. Remember, there are 97 of us!

The intros for most of the portals starting with A through F have already been converted to use the {{Transclude lead excerpt}} template.

The standard wikicode for the automated intro that we want to put into place looks like this:

{{/box-header|Introduction|noedit=yes|}}
{{Transclude lead excerpt | {{PAGENAME}} | paragraphs=1-2 | files=1}}
{{Box-footer|[[{{PAGENAME}}|Read more...]]}}

That works for most portals, but not all. For some portals it requires some tweaking, and for others, we may have to use a different or more customized approach. Remember to visually inspect each portal you work on and make sure that it works before moving on to the next one.

Be sure to skip user-maintained portals. They are listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Portals#Specific_portal_maintainers.

AWB tips

I've started an AWB tips page, for those of you feeling a bit overwhelmed by that power user tool. Feel free to add to it and/or improve it.

Portal automation

We have some very talented Lua programmers, who are pushing the limits of what we can do in gathering data from Wikipedia's various namespaces and presenting it in portals. Due to their efforts, Lua is powering the selective transclusion core of our emerging automated portal design, in the form of selected article sections that rotate content, and slideshows.

To go beyond Lua's limits, to take full advantage of Mediawiki's API, we are in the midst of adding another programming language to the resources we shall be making use of: JavaScript. The ways that JavaScript can help us edit portals to boost the power of our Lua solutions, are being explored, which will likely make the two languages synergistic if not symbiotic. Research is under way on how we can use JavaScript to make some of the portal semi-automated features fully automatically self-updating, in ways that Lua cannot. Like gathering random members from a category and inserting them into a portal's templates as parameters. Once the parameters are in place, Lua does the rest.

If you would like to get involved with design efforts, or just keep up on them, see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Portals/Design.

When should we start building new portals?

Well, not at the present time, because building portals is quite time consuming. The good news is that we are working on a design that will be fully automated, or as close to that as we can get. And the new design is being implemented in the portal department's main portal creation template. This means, that not only will portals update themselves, their creation will be highly automated as well. That's the nature of templates. You put them in place, and they just... work.

What I'm getting at here, is that it would be better to wait to build lots of new portals until after the new design is completed. Because with it, instead of taking hours to create a new portal, it will likely take minutes.

That does not mean we should be idle in the meantime. The main reason most of us are here is because it became apparent that portals were largely unmaintained and had grown out-of-date. This had become so apparent that a proposal was made to delete all the portals and the portal namespace to boot. That makes our main objective in the short term to improve all the existing portals so that the community will want to keep them—forever.

Building lots of new portals comes later. Let's fix up the ones we have first. ;)

And on that note, I bid you adieu. Until next newsletter, see ya 'round the WikiProject. — The Transhumanist 12:29, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
