March 2023

  Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! –DMartin 23:28, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

I reverted your edit becuase it was unexplained and seemed non-constructive. –DMartin 23:29, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
Not to be rude, but how is "Changing short description from "Wikipedia list article" to one that is intentionally blank" an empty edit summary!? It even links to the designated guideline, WP:SDNONE, which describes when short descriptions should be "none". ~ Eejit43 (talk) 00:33, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
"Wikipedia list article" is a short description that should never be used, and if you do a quick search, you can see it isn't found on any other pages. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 00:33, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Question regarding Paul, Crown Prince of Greece

Hi, I saw that you reverted my change in that wiki page. It is the first time I try to submit a change and would appreciate some help. I have 2 sources that prove that the title "Crown Prince of Greece" doesnt stand. 1) Constitution of Greece, Article 1 of the Constitution of Greece states that "Greece is a parliamentary republic," while Article 2 specifies that "The form of government is a democratic republic." and 2) "Constitutional Monarchy: An Outdated Form of Government?" by Kevin J. Connolly, which states that "when a monarchy is abolished, the office of Crown Prince ceases to exist". Since those are concrete data that prove that title "Crown Prince of Greece does not exist, how can I add them? Gtx30bp (talk) 21:24, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

@Gtx30bp while I'm not familiar with the subject area, such major changes to an article, especially a biography of a living person, needs reliable sources (see this guide to referencing). If the changes could potentially controversial (I'm not saying this necessarily is), they should be discussed on the article's talk page first. Additionally, a few sentences (or more) should probably be added to the article to note such a major change. If you have further questions, feel free to ask them at the Teahouse. Welcome to Wikipedia! ~ Eejit43 (talk) 01:53, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

Can collecting edit

Hi Eejit! Just one word of advice: I saw you edited the page of can collecting which I am working on. I will ask you that when you see the {{inuse}} tag, to please refrain from making any edits yourself. I was making an edit at that time and when you put the tag in there, it caused an edit conflict, which in turn caused me to lose all the info I had written and made me have to write it again. That is the reason the inuse tag itself says to please not make any edits yourself while it is there. I'm ok with it because I myself have done things that I later reverted on these pages, but many other editors might find this annoying and maybe even get angry at you next time you do that. Once "inuse" is gone you can and are, of course, welcome to edit the page. Thanks and God bless you! Sincerely yours, Antonio Life is like a pop soda Martin (wassap) 13:28, March 22, 2023 (UTC)

@AntonioMartin I did refrain from making edits to content you had written, and simply removed an invalid DEFAULTSORT (I do realize now I also tagged an empty section). If you do encounter an edit conflict, you can scroll down and find the content you had written, it has not disappeared. {{inuse}} is generally intended for making general changes to an article's content, not the simple changes I made. I'm sorry I caused you to lose your work. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 14:43, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Declined Pages - not enough sources

Hi Eejit43 - our page was declined after submission for not having enough sources. I have cited and referenced throughout the page using true and official media coverage. Can you specify how many sources are needed for a page to be accepted and different types of sources required please? Thank you! Z4r4$m1th123 (talk) 16:53, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

@Z4r4$m1th123 sorry but I'm not currently in a state to be able to respond to this appropriately. Please ask any questions you have at the Teahouse. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 17:58, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Vandals: Dmhw, Ylogm

Hi, I noticed that recently User:Dmhw and User:Freeman6000 have vandalized and blanked several pages regarding the Ming dynasty of China. They have been warned numerous times to stop blanking and removing content from pages, yet they continue to do so.

Also, their editing habits appear similar to User:Ylogm who was blocked here: [3]. For example, Ylogm and Dmhw have similar usernames (string of random letters). They also edit similar articles within a close time interval that few other users edit such as [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], any many other articles.

These similar editing habits suggest that Ylogm, Dmhw are the same user. After Ylogm was blocked on March 3, 2023, the account Dmhw was created on March 8 to evade the block [12].

Do you know how Dmhw can be stopped?

Thank you very much. EchoAyatoZhao53 (talk) 01:02, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

@EchoAyatoZhao53 thanks for letting me know, I'll reopen the SPI case for the main user! ~ Eejit43 (talk) 01:06, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
Thank you. I would put both users User:Dmhw and User:Freeman6000 as they both display these similarities in destructive editing behavior to User:Ylogm. EchoAyatoZhao53 (talk) 01:07, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
I see that you've already contacted The Blade of the Northern Lights, and Drmies handled it. Thanks! ~ Eejit43 (talk) 01:09, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Dmhw / Ylogm is back again under the new account User:Victor Huang Ming, blanking contents from the same pages: [13], [14], [15]. Could this account be stopped as well? Thank you. EchoAyatoZhao53 (talk) 04:41, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Seems to already have been handled. In the future, please note I'm not an administrator so I cannot directly handle an issue, I have to contact someone separately. Thanks for noticing this!   ~ Eejit43 (talk) 12:39, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Nabab Nandini (disambiguation)

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Nabab Nandini (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
  • disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
  • is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Gemma Collis

Hi Eejit43,

I'm happy to accept I didn't make my edits the right way - I jumped into this after a conversation with Gemma herself, who is no longer married and desperately wants her ex-husband's name removed from the title of the page. I've never edited on wikipedia before. I'll try and find a reference for the separation, but I don't think I have edit permissions for the title of a page without being an admin. Musashi1286 (talk) 16:25, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

If you have a reliable source for this, I'd be happy to make that move for you! :)
In the future you can also make requests through WP:RM/TR before you gain the autoconfirmed right. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 16:27, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

A request on rmtr-helper script

Hi there! Thanks for writing the userscript. It has been helpful. A minor request: when there's no more request left after processing (i.e. Special:Diff/1148206293), indicate in the edit summary as so (i.e. Special:Diff/1148179135). It would be helpful for those who are looking through their Watchlist for new requests to be processed. – robertsky (talk) 18:37, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

I've reviewed the article, and denied it. You can see my comments on the page. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 12:59, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
Dear Eejit43, I'm a huge fan of this person, I love what he is doing and it was unexpected for me that I could not find this person on wikipedia, that's why I decide to create his article, I have huge information and it very easy to find out who is this person like musician, songwriter, movie director, producer and script writer and winemaker, he is one of the best artist, I almost have all articles saved as pdf files from another sources, last year Giga Agladze and David Lynch was nominated and was winner of A category film festival, best producer on Septimius awards 2022, last year he dedicated live concert to Ukraine with his live band "Killer Band" I can send all sources if you wish. He shot a couple of documentaries, short and fiction movies, like: Alan, Iron Curtain, Henry, 48 Days of May and The Other Me which executive producer is David Lynch, also I can show you all sources and I can add lot of information about his works: commercials, music videos and etc. he is from Georgian and his DOB I took from National Filmography of Georgia's website http://geocinema.ge//en/persons/5563 and from Nation Library of Georgiahttp://www.nplg.gov.ge/bios/ka/00018322/ One of his best Georgian song "Beautiful day" (ლამაზი დღე) was best song year and the last information that I have, he has the new position from the Georgian government, he is culture ambassador in USA, its very strange that this is not enough info for wikipedia, thank you for your attention Ggrusin (talk) 22:32, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
Now that is information that could be extremely helpful to improve the article. Ensure you add those sources for his DOB, and make additional information to prove notability. After that, please wait for a different AfC reviewer to come along and review the article. Thanks! ~ Eejit43 (talk) 22:45, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for your prompt reply, I already made article correction as you suggested, if you need something more please do not hesitate and let me know Ggrusin (talk) 23:02, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
Sounds good. Feel free to resubmit and wait for another AfC reviewer to take a look eventually. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 23:07, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Singular error

On 13 May you changed a section heading of HMS Port Napier from "External link" to "External links", and you described your edit as "Fix improper section titles". Port Napier has only one external link, so the heading was not "improper", and you have not "fixed" it.

This is not the first time you have changed the heading of such a section from singular to plural, when there was only one item in the section. It is not correct grammar. If in future a contributor adds a second item to a section that has only one, that is the time to change the heading from singular to plural. Please trust other contributors to be literate enough to do so.

Thankyou. Motacilla (talk) 06:57, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

@Motacilla that is actually incorrect per MOS:LAYOUTEL. It states that "External links" should be plural, even if it lists only a single item. :) ~ Eejit43 (talk) 15:06, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

Oestrogen wikipedia page

You told me that "Estrogen" wasn't a spelling mistake, I'm 100% sure it is spelt Oestrogen, as is shown in the dictionary - the page you told me it wasn't spelt wrong was this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estrogen 14sirs (talk) 11:31, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

@14sirs per MOS:ENGVAR, The English Wikipedia prefers no national variety over others. "Oestrogen" is the British English spelling, whereas "estrogen" is the American English spelling, as seen here and here. Editors should not change between there variations, at least without general consensus, especially seeing as "estrogen" has been the spelling that has existed for the entire page history. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 11:44, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
Sorry, I didn't realise that Estrogen was the American english version, I thought it was a typo 14sirs (talk) 10:35, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

User:Eejit43/scripts/AFCRHS

I've been absent from WP:AFCRC for a while, and I noticed this new script. Great work! If you ever have the time, here's a couple of feature requests:

  • Allow addition of multiple rcats
  • Allow adding parameters to rcats (the only rcat I can think of for this is {{R from alternative language|from|to}}, but I'm sure there are more.

Hope everything's going well, and happy editing! — Qwerfjkltalk 21:44, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

List of Goan Brahmin communities

Hello,

I reverted your AGF revision because of the issue where it is not clear and is not sufficiently detailed which allows for an exception under WP:SDNONE. 05:49, 6 May 2023 (UTC) ThatFungi (talk) 05:49, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

@ThatFungi There has been consensus that "none" is the appropriate description in these cases, if you do a quick search you will see that no other pages have that short description. Another edit has already reverted your revert. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 16:43, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
But again, it is an informational page, not a policy. Exceptions can be made and none is to be used if the title is a clear cut case of what it the article is about. I do not know anything about Goan Braham Communities (like where they are located or what they are and what they represent). If you look at WP:SDNONE it gives a clear cut example of one that would use none because the title explains exactly what it is about. ThatFungi (talk) 16:50, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
I never stated it was a policy. And to respond to the latter part of your statement, how on earth would "Wikimedia list article" help? It specifically says "List of" in the title. Out of the thousands of list articles on enwiki, all use "none", there isn't a single page using "Wikipedia/Wikimedia list article". That is only used on Wikidata, and they have different reasoning for doing so. I won't debate this further, I'm just saying that this is the longstanding precedent to have "none" in these places (there are event bot accounts that have been approved that go around fixing these). ~ Eejit43 (talk) 16:57, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
I’ll stay away from list articles then and let the bot fix it. Thanks. When you say consensus I take it as it became policy as that is usually what people are voting for. ThatFungi (talk) 17:02, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
My bot was approved for this; I only ever ran it once, on around 100,000 articles. I could run it again if there's a need. — Qwerfjkltalk 21:39, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
@Qwerfjkl shouldn't be any need, there are currently only 5 pages with that short description by my count, unless I'm missing any... thanks though! ~ Eejit43 (talk) 21:41, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
About 500 from insource:"description|Wikimedia_list" and insource:"description|Wikipedia_list" together. Still probably not worth running a bit on though (and I haven't restricted it to list articles). — Qwerfjkltalk 21:50, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
Ah... I was only checking for /Wiki[pm]edia list article/i, I didn't think of the possibility "article" wouldn't be included. Anyway, that short description shouldn't be present on any non-list pages, so I think it would be fine to run, if you want to of course :) ~ Eejit43 (talk) 21:54, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
