Mirrors

edit

  Thanks for contributing to the article Paul Stenning ‎. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that material must be verifiable and attributed to reliable sources. You have recently used citations which copied, or mirrored, material from Wikipedia. This leads to a circular reference and is not acceptable. Most mirrors are clearly labeled as such, but some are in violation of our license and do not provide the correct attribution. Please help by adding alternate sources to the article you edited! If you need any help or clarification, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia or ask at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page, or just ask me. Thank you.

List of people by number of countries visited

edit

Please stop adding the same content to this article - as per my edit summaries, the sources you have provided are not independent secondary sources (see WP:RS) and the criteria you are using is different from the other entries on the list. Now your addition has been reverted, the onus is on you to explain on the talk page why you think the content should be included and gain consensus for it. Additionally, you have continued to mark your edits as minor when they do not meet the required criteria to do. Continuing to engage in this kind of editing without offering explanations in edit summaries or on the talk page can lead to you being banned from editing here. Melcous (talk) 13:05, 6 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

I think you could be more polite. I am a relatively new user and did not know about Edit Summary or how to describe this. I have created the page for the traveler Don Parrish (adventurer). Perhaps if you looked at this you would see why he is number one for the list you have created (if it was you who created the article in question). We should discuss the reasons why I put him into this list as if you look at the TCC and Nomad Mania you will see he is the best traveled. I think it harsh you talk of banning as I am only trying to make this article as accurate as possible. Equally, it is also harsh to keep removing this text when there is plenty of justification for it being there. Let's work together here. (User talk:Emhusbandm]Emhusbandm (talk) 13:57, 6 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Dear Melcous, I was prevented from leaving the more extensive summary so here it is for your information, now the article is being correctly edited:

The Wikipedia article “List of people by number of countries visited" allows countries to be counted from three lists: 1. United Nations members states list 2. ISO 3166 list 3. The Travelers Century Club list of 327 countries

The key principle is explained in this sentence: “This list of people by countries visited does not prescribe one list as correct; rather it lists the number of countries visited from any of these competing lists.”

These 3 lists are not mutually exclusive, but to the contrary are overlapping. In fact, the TCC list includes all the UN countries and all but 2 or 3 countries listed on the ISO 3166 list plus some countries not appearing on either of the other 2 lists.

In the past, this article grew by adding people to the top of the list who had visited the UN countries, then listing some additional individual countries from the other 2 lists in their Notes section to get a total country count. Currently the top person listed had a count of 207 countries.

However, hidden in plain sight is Audrey Walsworth, listed as visiting 193 countries, but in her Notes section section it was pointed out she had visited 324 TCC countries. She is mentioned in the TCC history has having visited all of the TCC countries. A new footnote is added as more proof of her accomplishment from the TCC website. Thus her country count should be 324. This follows the key principle of recognizing the TCC list as one of the 3 allowed lists.

Now she is being moved to the top of the list on this Wikipedia article with a count of 324 countries.

And Sascha Grabow’s country count is being updated to 304 because his TCC count of 304 TCC countries supersedes his current count of 207 countries. His count is given on the nomadmania.com website. Nomadmania is the successor website to the BestTravelled.com website. This Nomadmania continues to maintain and expand the UN Master’s list of everyone who has visited all 193 UN countries.

In a similar fashion with the same footnote source, Artemy Lebedev country count is increased from 202 to 292.Emhusbandm (talk) 08:24, 10 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

There are still two problems with what you are proposing:
1. People on the same list are being judged by different criteria, which essentially makes the list meaningless. You are comparing apples and oranges. You have changed Audrey Walsworth from 193 to 324 countries by judging her on a different list, but there are plenty of other people on the list who have visited 190+ countries, and we have no way of knowing how many of the TCC "countries" they have visited.
2. The sources you are using do not meet the criteria of being independent, secondary sources.
Please see the discussion on the article's talk page where hopefully other editors will also weigh in and we can see if there is a consensus. Thank you, Melcous (talk) 12:02, 10 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Marco Robinson moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Marco Robinson, is not suitable 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. — Sagotreespirit (talk) 13:12, 6 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
