November 2013

[edit]
Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Greece shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Your edits

[edit]

I see that you are making good contributions to Wikipedia. I will, however, offer you some friendly advice regarding your edit style.

  • You have made several attempts to move pages back and forth. In at least two cases, your edits ended up with a confusing situation where the article and the talk page had different names, i.e. the article "National Democracy Movement (Philippines)" connected to the talk page "Talk:Filipino communism" and the other way round. I have tried to fix this in the two cases I have noticed. Before you attempt more moves, please study the guidelines Wikipedia:Moving a page carefully.
  • You mark all your edits as minor, even when the edits are definitely not minor. This is considered poor etiquette in Wikipedia. Please read the guidelines Help:Minor edit carefully.
  • It is considered good practice to provide a summary for every edit. Please read the guidelines Help:Edit summary carefully.

Tessanne Chin

[edit]

I've been trying to move the page back to "Tessanne Chin" because you put "Tessanne Chn" but I kept getting the error messages "You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reason: The page could not be moved: a page of that name already exists, or the name you have chosen is not valid. Please choose another name, or use Requested moves to ask an administrator to help you with the move.

I tried it without a space (TessanneChin) and it changed but it needs to go back to Tessanne Chin and it seems it only works for you. Please change this.

No need to change the heading

[edit]

We are quite satisfied with the previous heading which only slightly explained the history but not really in detail. Other countries' wiki page such as the USA and China didn't really put all the histories of the countries that compromised China or the USA in their heading. The previous lead section is enough. You may tweak it a bit but please don't put unnecessary details in it. Gintong Liwanag Ng Araw (talk) 13:59, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits

[edit]

I think you need to read the guidelines on how we write biographies here in Wikipedia. What you did in the Imelda Marcos article was excessive and unnecessary especially the parts where you divided the sections into acts. Same case with giving top importance on the talk pages of several articles, even though they're of trivial significance compared to subjects that are of significant merit, i.e. Andres Bonifacio. Eat Bulaga might deserve a mid-importance assessment as the show has been on air for decades, but an actor who only came into prominence just recently isn't. Blake Gripling (talk) 01:24, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Imelda Marcos article is in a better shape now than it did before any of my edits. The previous one had worse bias. Who are you to say Judy Ann Santos or Dolphy are less significant than Bonifacio? Eat Bulaga and Mara Clara are well worth top priority because of their record-breaking status. Which remindes me.--Theparties (talk) 01:28, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well at least you decided to drop out the more subjective lines off the Imelda article, that's good. But as for EB and Judy Ann, they're smaller fish compared to what Bonifacio did - and even though the shows you mentioned gained iconic status it still doesn't qualify as top-priority. Andres did the country a bigger favour; the most that Mara Clara did was to entertain masses and earned viewership ratings on television. Now tell me which is the more important. And before you try to tick me off for calling me "kj", let me tell you that teasing or biting other editors as such is uncalled for and a poor gesture. Blake Gripling (talk) 02:11, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Please don't lecture me about rudeness or "poor gesture" it was you who did an uncalled for revert. If you want me to treated you nicely, you should have messaged me first.-Theparties (talk) 02:33, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comparing what Bonifacio did compared to what Judy Ann Santos is subjective. It's like comparing Mohandas Gandhi to Oprah Winfrey or Beethoven to Martin Luther King. What Judy Ann does is significant and the reason you may not now that is because you were too young when she began her fame. -Theparties (talk) 02:20, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It ain't like I'm comparing water to battery acid or anything. If you may notice on a paper encyclopedia like Britannica, articles pertaining to subjects that did a significant role like Adolf Hitler, Benjamin Franklin or The Beatles are given more scope compared to lesser-known or less significant articles, regardless of subject or topic. That's also the very reason why Marc Logan or showbiz news end up being shown last in TV Patrol. To sum things up, marking Judy as top-importance sounds like an absurd overstatement. A mid-or-low importance assessment would've been more appropriate. Blake Gripling (talk) 04:41, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The reason why Judy Ann Santos is less notable than Julia Roberts is because world history has a tendency to give bias towards the wealthy so obviously brown-skinned people are less 'notable' than Westerners. There is no article in Britannica for Ai-Ai de las Alas even if she is one of the most successful comedienes in the country but there is one for Julia Roberts or Meryl Streep.--Theparties (talk) 06:35, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Here's my two-cents, Imelda Marcos' article could use a major overhaul to make it appear "encyclopedic", Hillary Clinton's article could serve as an inspiration. I won't say Judy Ann Santos is the same level of importance as Dolphy or even Nora Aunor. It's not about Filipino vs. international artists, Hollywood does have a global impact one has to accept that reality. It's not biased, it's reality, I'm sure an Indian movie-superstar like Shahrukh Khan won't be that important to a Filipino, despite being big in India, but probably Jackie Chan (Hong Kong) and Michelle Yeoh (Malaysian) would be because of their Hollywood exposure and they could be of a higher level of importance than Nora Aunor or Dolphy. -- Namayan (talk) 08:18, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The Judy Ann Santos debate was whether or not she is equal to Bonifacio or not and whether or not she deserved to be a top Philippines article. Your argument partly supports my argument because yo recognize that someone does not need to be notable globally to be one of the most important people in one country a la Shahrukh Khan. You can't compare Hillary Clinton's article to Imelda's. The availability and accessibility of published works about Hillary is much more than that of Imelda and the bias against the latter is much more pronounced.-Theparties (talk) 08:33, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Kabayan, Judy Ann deserves an article, there's no question about that. Equal to Bonifacio in importance, I don't think so! With regard to Imelda's article you can use the structure of Hillary Clinton's, I'm not saying it should be as lengthy as hers. But it should follow encyclopedic guidelines, but subsections like "Return to grace" is more like a teleserye, why not "Return to power". -- Namayan (talk) 08:45, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it's redundancy. You should also consider that there are too many lengthy (flowery) sentences, which could be reduced to less than half and still convey the same message. -- Namayan (talk) 08:54, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have been trying to do that for the past few days but the article really needed a lot of work prior to my editing. I would try to trim that down later but I'm currently tied up right now.--Theparties (talk) 09:03, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. While the article is not long enought for DYK, it would not be hard to make the subject of the article the painting itself, rather than the chief. There is enough material in your sources to expand on the painting without "padding" text to meet the size criterion. Given the ambiguity on whether the subject was in fact the famous Dakota chief (which I have come to doubt), it is not really possible to say more about the chief who "sat" for the portrait, as everything we really know about him was said by Catlin. This is suggestion only-- you may of course do as you wish. Best regards, Kablammo (talk) 22:56, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

GAN nomination

[edit]

Theparties, while your enthusiasm is appreciated, please be more careful when nominating article at WP:GAN. For instance, List of heads of state and government by net worth is a list, not an article, and so should be nominated for featured list candidacy, not GAN (if it meets the criteria, of course). In another instance, 1st Filipino Infantry Regiment is already a GA, and therefore should not be relisted at GAN. Please let me know if you have any questions, Dana boomer (talk) 14:51, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

LGBT rights by country or territory is another list-class article, which again means it should not be nominated at GAN. I have removed the GAN tags from all three of these articles. Dana boomer (talk) 14:55, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Please do not nominate articles with cleanup banners and multiple cleanup tags at GAN. Articles with cleanup banners and multiple cleanup tags can and will be quick-failed, per the GAN instructions. I have removed the GAN tags from LGBT social movements and Manuel L. Quezon because both of them have cleanup banners and tags. While I understand that it can be fun to get articles to GA status, please do not rush through nominating articles that are already good or featured, are lists, or have major problems as illustrated by cleanup banners/tags. Please make sure that the articles meet the good article criteria before nominating them at GAN, otherwise it simply wastes reviewer time. If you have any questions about the GA process, please feel free to ask - my talk page is always open! Dana boomer (talk) 14:50, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Change of image in American period.

[edit]

I did not want to revert your most recent edit out right because I don't want to appear hostile, but I think you should reconsider it. The other picture in American period is superior because 1) it also shows Manuel Quezon but 2) also illustrates the closeness of US-Philippines relations by including the US president, fitting conveniently into the subject of that subsection. I have noticed a lot of your edits, at least to this article, seem to be for the sake of just editing and making changes, and while many have been fine, others seem hasty and not well thought out. While your change of image to American period didn't break any rules, I still ask you to reconsider whether a simple photo of a person is really of more educational value than a photo illustrating an alliance that has had a huge impact on this country's history (which also includes the person), and also respectfully ask in the future to put more thought into whether an article would really be better off with a change you plan on making. If you agree with me great, if not the choice of image will have to be put to a vote in Talk. Cadiomals (talk) 03:42, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article is not about the United States so I don't believe that it is necessary to give them much more importance. If it was the other way around and a Filipino was featured it the U.S. article, I believe there would be uproar. The current image is a featured picture so I doubt it is less superior. I think a vote would be appropriate.--Theparties (talk) 04:49, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Having an image of a Filipino in the US article would be inappropriate and irrelevant because the Philippines didn't have a huge impact on the US to merit something like that, but the US and its influence had a big impact on the Philippines and the unfolding of its history. It is also relevant to the section considering it is named "American period." Also, it doesn't matter whether the photo is "featured", it matters not only how relevant it is to the section (which both are) but how much educational value it has to the reader. A simple portait of one person is not as educational as a photo showing that person meeting with the leader of a country which had a big influence, to say the least, on its policies and history. The portrait of Quezon is "Featured" simply because it is high-res and looks nice. You're misunderstanding what I'm saying and your logic doesn't hold up, so I will post something to the Talk page. Cadiomals (talk) 06:36, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I decided I won't push for a vote in Talk as I honestly don't feel like making a big issue out of something that ultimately has little impact, and I realize that WP:BRT and even an WP:RFC would involve reverting your edit and waiting at least a week for votes to accumulate. However, I am still trying to keep this article as stable and good-quality as possible, and as a result I will make sure future edits are beneficial for the article based on Wikipedia's guidelines (or at least do not have a negative impact), and that will involve scrutinizing and reverting edits that are unjustified, hasty or haphazard in the best interest of maintaining this highly visible article's impeccable quality, and preventing it from the decay that too many Good and Featured articles undergo when left alone for too long.

This issue arose because of admin-approved DYK content that was being held for Feb 11, which was run against consensus on Feb 9, without notifying the nominator or the approving admin.

Now that has passed, I just want to make sure they don't treat you the same way they just finished treating someone else. In my opinion, the content you've proposed to be held for Feb 22's Investiture of new cardinals appointed by Pope Francis as you requested and your admin approved.

Alternatively, we could go with a model where a few DYK volunteers can run your content ahead of scheduling, rendering it unusable on Feb 22. Your feedback welcomed at Wikipedia:ANI#Holds_not_being_respected_at_WP:DYKN --HectorMoffet (talk) 08:08, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Fernanda Lima, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Elle, Trip and Benneton (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Neutrois, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://wikibin.org/articles/neutrois.html.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

DYK nomination of Everything is Awesome

[edit]

Hello! Your submission of Everything is Awesome at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! BlueMoonset (talk) 02:38, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Theparties, it's your responsibility to vet articles before you nominate them for DYK. Ones like this, which are clearly far too short to qualify, should not be nominated if you aren't prepared to bring them into compliance. Please let us know within the next few days whether you plan to work on this one; if not, it should be closed. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:38, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Philippines c/e request

[edit]

You have new message/s Hello. You have a new message at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Guild_of_Copy_Editors/Requests#Philippines's talk page. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 06:30, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed your request for Philippines because you already have three articles—our current maximum—awaiting copy-edit. Feel free to re-add the request once one (until 15th March) or two (from 16th March) of your currently pending requests have been cleared. Please also note that the GOCE's purpose is to improve prose in articles, not to check their references. We may decline any request that doesn't involve copy-editing text.

Crimea

[edit]

Hi there, I've noticed you've been adding the Crimea to country-related lists and templates, and adding country-related categories and navboxes to related articles. I don't think Crimea has actually declared independence (let alone been recognised by Russia) – the whole "autonomous republic" thing dates way back (and there's meant to be a referendum on independence in May, as well, so I don't think a UDI is likely). A source saying otherwise would make for interesting reading, but otherwise you might wanna self-revert before people beat you to it (people jump on that sort of thing pretty quickly, especially at List of states with limited recognition).

Selected anniversaries

[edit]

Hi and thanks for your efforts to add articles to the various subpages of Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries. However, please read the rules before add any more. For example, Dom Justo Takayama was not eligible to appear due to not having enough references, and Imelda Marcos should have been added to a day which is more significant for her (instead of her husband); I moved her to November 4, the anniversary of her pardon. In addition, it would help if you add the article the day of year page as well. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 05:28, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed the Dom Justo Takayama article with the needed sources though I may add more one I find them. It think the assassination attempt for Imelda Marcos on December 7, 1972 would be the best date for her.--Theparties (talk) 04:10, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Greece shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Minor

[edit]

I have again stumbled across some of your edits, and I see that all your edits are still marked minor. Most of them are certainly not minor. By marking edits this way you are misleading other editors. You have been advised about this before, so there is no excuse for not knowing. Please read WP:MINOR carefully and stop your disruptive minor marking. --T*U (talk) 08:11, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm so sorry to say that this article did not pass the GAN. All of the comments I left are on its review page, please take a look through them and if you have addressed all of them you can either renominate the article or ask me to review it again.
