"We don't strike out text"

Hey there. Please note that your aforementioned statement is simply incorrect. Regarding airport articles, defunct IATA and ICAO codes are striked out by default as can be seen in many airport articles, such as here or here for major ones and here or here for airfields as well as many others. You might argue if this is useful, but you cannot state this currently isn't done regulary. Best regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.174.162.194 (talk) 09:29, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

188.174.162.194, we don't use colored text, strikeout, blinking, or other decorative text per convention. See WP:NOSTRIKE. I was referring to what the WP:MOS says. Articles that use it should be fixed, not used as justification to do the same thing elsewhere. MB 23:53, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Ramsdell Theatre edits

The code of <small><small>[text]</small></small> that appeared at the Ramsdell Theatre article before you reverted it is not a mistake or an error. It is coding that makes the enclosed text the next size down from a simple small, which is an appropriate size to render text as it appears at the bottom of a historical marker.
For instance small text renders the enclosed text as a small, but if an editor wants to render the text down to an even smaller size then smaller text makes it even smaller. If there is a reason that the small/small coding is somehow Wiki-unacceptable, I don't know it and would appreciate you letting me know the applicable guideline. Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 07:10, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Shearonink, See MOS:SMALL. Text should never be smaller than 85% of the default. This is an accessibility issue. "simple small" is already a reduction to 85%, so that is the smallest that should ever be used. WP does not stylistically replicate other sources when doing so is contrary to WP style. Text needs to be readable to all users, especially those with poor vision who adjust their browser accordingly. MB 15:38, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

At the time, that explanation would have been nice to have at the page where we were having the issue. Cheers, Shearonink (talk) 15:54, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Shearonink, I do hundreds of AWB edits every week to catch a variety of issues like this and can't leave a specific edit summary for each one. But I will always provide more info when asked like this. MB 16:01, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Just FYI

Just so your aware and don't get into edit wars...Wikipedia:Wikipedia book creator status "The namespace and its transclusions are still retained in the hope that the WMF will come up with a solution. As a result of anticipated future solutions, template transclusions should not be removed from articles."--Moxy 🍁 03:03, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

• Moxy, thanks for the note. I ran across some articles where this was used as the only entry in a "See also" section resulting in an empty section. I don't think there are that many of those but any empty sections should be fixed (this template seems to be used both in the See also and External links section, so it can probably be moved if it's in an empty section). MB 03:13, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

If they are all by themselves in a section I do remove them....😈--Moxy 🍁 03:19, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

OPJS University

Greetings. I noticed with this edit that you included an honorific for Dr. Rakesh, and you added a number of links to the external links section. Please be aware that per MOS:HONORIFIC, we do not normally included honorific titles such as "Dr.". Also be aware that per WP:ELMINOFFICIAL, we do not normally included a list of additional websites for an organization such as you did with this edit. The link to the university's website is sufficient by itself. I am removing the honorific and the additional external links. If you have questions about this, please let me know. Thanks, --Hammersoft (talk) 15:58, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

• Ah, I see that while I was writing the above you removed the honorific and one of the external links. I've removed the others. --Hammersoft (talk) 16:00, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

• No worries. Happens to me all the time. --Hammersoft (talk) 16:03, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Hammersoft, I do remove honorifics routinely except if there is only one name specified, as in this case it was Dr. xxx. But you added the full name. Did you go searching the web for that? That is more than I do. MB 16:08, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Hallo MB! Thank you for helping me improve the article FulushouFloruitShow in a very detailed way. According to your previous suggestion, I added the section 'See also' into this article, which contains several links linking to Chinese music related pages. With this, is it still an orphan article? If it is, what should I do then? If not, can you please remove the orphan suggestion?

Bloomsbury Lead

Hi, thank you for doing some edits on the Bloomsbury page.

I just wanted to query your removal of the link to the conservation committee mentioned in the lead. You cite linkspam as a reason. While there may be reasons to remove the link as per Wikipedia's guide on links, I don't think it qualifies as spam. The page is obviously relevant and contains a lot of planning information relating to Bloomsbury that would not ever be available to Wikipedia due to copyright reasons (e.g. interactive map of the area, and formal policy documents for the area, a great deal of photographs, along with news articles etc on the area). It's therefore a decent resource for people to learn more about this aspect of Bloomsbury.

For now I have added the link back in but please discuss so we can work out the best course of action. Oward98 (talk) 11:39, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Oward98, the only links in articles are wikilinks to other articles. I have removed the ELs in this article. If you feel that any external sites meet WP:ELYES and are not restricted by WP:ELNO, they can be added as links in the "External links" section. MB 22:38, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for this, I was aware of this recommendation although it is not a hard and fast rule and should be employed with common sense. Probably it makes sense to not include an EL in the lead as this is definitely uncommon. However I do feel that an external link in the body of the text would make sense in the Conservation section of the article. Wikipedia does not have any pages on conservation area advisory committees as they are these days rather rare. The particular page has a lot of information that would be helpful for those reading the article to understand, as mentioned above. I will leave it up to you to decide though. If you don't add a link I will edit the section in a few days as it now reads a bit differently without the link.

Also 'conservation area' is not capitalised so I did undo those edits. I assume they were yours!

Tags on Nikki Turner article

Hi there, thanks for the editing of this article. I will keep what the tags say in mind as I aim to improve the page although I am not totally convinced that is essay-like or my own opinion. That is just the nature of the person - who she is and what she does and says. Never mind, it will be a learning experience for me. I will start a conversation in Talk on the article, and perhaps you can join in there? Realitylink (talk) 19:50, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Yes, and when looking at how the guidelines describe 'essay-like', I don't think this article meets the criteria.

'Personal essays that state your particular feelings about a topic (rather than the opinions of experts). Although Wikipedia is supposed to compile human knowledge, it is not a vehicle to make personal opinions become part of such knowledge.'

Everything in the article is related to the person and what she said or did. How is that my opinion or feeling? It is good for us to discuss these things, though because I would love to have those tags removed and support the right process to do so. Respectful conversations in this forum are crucial. So, thanks once again for your interest in the article. Realitylink (talk) 20:15, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Two-room schoolhouse

Hi, I wonder if you could be interested to develop concept of Two-room schoolhouse (currently a redlink)? Please see One-room schoolhouse article. The need for an article about this kind of pair-house(?) comes up for me right now, while starting Draft:Lacombe School. To me this topic seems obviously needed, and would not properly be addressed as a subsection of any other article. I am pretty sure I have seen sources discussing the architecture and teaching/management issues, relating to many ones listed on the U.S. National Register. I am pretty sure there must be some standard designs for two-room schools among other designs in the Rosenwald Schools system.

I have just started by creating Category:Two-room schoolhouses and beginning to populate it. And I barely started a draft at Draft:Two-room schoolhouse. If you choose to develop the topic, as I know you could do very well, I would be fine with your developing it there and allowing me to contribute as well, but for you to copy-paste it into mainspace eventually so that you would show properly as the article creator/developer. Or fine if you'd develop it anywhere else.

I hope you might be interested. cheers, --Doncram (talk) 22:22, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

P.S. Argh, I am just confronted by this revert of a sensible addition to intro of One-room schoolhouse article, with edit summary suggesting doubt that there are any one- or two-room schoolhouse buildings surviving and existing as museums or listed on any heritage registers. (Sigh) Well, can develop out the two-room category and/or get a two-room article into mainspace, before restoring that or otherwise linking from there. --Doncram (talk) 22:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

FYI, had some okay back-and-forth with that editor. Rosenwald School example Emory School is hard to classify: it is of the "one-teacher" design, which had one classroom and a work area room. Hmm, maybe that and others like it should be put into "two-room schoolhouses" category, and explain about them in the article. I was expecting "two-room" ones to be two classrooms; obviously many historic one-roomers started literally with just one room, but added a kitchen on same level or in basement, and in cold climates added a cloakroom, and so on...I would count those still as one-roomers. Reviewing Category:School buildings on the National Register of Historic Places by state categories for Colorado, Michigan, and a bit more, so far, i make many adds to categories for "one-room schoolhouses in STATE" and a few adds for "two-room schoolhouses". I will continue through those categories, any which way. --Doncram (talk) 02:15, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Doncram, I looked for sources and found nothing written from a cultural/historical perspective. I added what I did find to the article for use as sources, all period-design type info. I don't think there is the making of a great article here. But the one-room article is pretty lousy too. But there is probably enough for an article. MB 04:25, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, the one-room schoolhouse article is not very good at all. The concept should be defined, about whether it is a ONE-TEACHER school (so having a teacherage attached doesn't disqualify it), or whether minor rooms disqualify it (I think they should not, in terms of what people think is a one-room schoolhouse). Its section listing 40 or so towns where some editor believed there was a current one-room school, but doesn't bother to support the assertions, is particularly galling. While i think a "two-room schoolhouse" topic should be legitimate, it would be after the one-room topic were better/decently covered. By marching through the NRHP school buildings categories by state, I am finding many additions to Category:One-room schoolhouses in Arkansas, etc. For Arkansas, I think most of the NRHP-listed ones are Depression Era replacements (having 1 to 4 classrooms) of older clearly one-roomers. This is the Ozarks schools MPS that keeps coming up. Added interesting Norway vs. U.S. comparison study, to one-room schoolhouse article. With my own assertion of how many NRHP-listed one-roomers exist (i said more than 200, but now I think it is far higher), vs. ZERO being listed in Norway's equivalent to NRHP. Have found only one Canadian listed one. Seems the concept is more narrowly USian than I would have expected. I dunno, can you be interested in developing that? --Doncram (talk) 05:28, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

But it would still be helpful to have a two-room schoolhouse article in mainspace relatively sooner rather than later. There are now 16 inbound links to it, and Category:Two-room schoolhouses has 8 members currently. I am wondering if in fact something about "Two- to four-room schoolhouses" or "Small school designs" or "Two to four teacher schools" or such would be a better article. There may have been, appear to have been, standard New Deal program designs for schools of these sizes, and there were Rosenwald School designs for these sizes. There is some degree of difference in architecture requirements for these than one-room schools. I also am not seeing so much specifically about the level of two-roomers. But a two-room article could be expanded to this. If you could start out a two-room article, as you suggest you could, I would appreciate it. :) --Doncram (talk) 22:46, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Doncram I started something at User:MB/draft5 but I don't think I will spend that much time on it - I just feel it is going to be a rather boring article. MB 03:28, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

I think that is pretty good, would be happy to see it in mainspace. Somewhat boring is okay, and it is a start for collection of more stuff, including whatever may show up in sources in two-room schools being added to the category and/or directly linked from there. Wikipedia is good for allowing accretion/creation of knowledge in cases like this, I figure.

Oak Grove Rosenwald School is one of 20 two-room Rosenwald schools funded in Arkansas in 1926-27, out of 38 schools, 5 teacherages, and 11 school expansions that year, per its NRHP document (available at link in National Archives... for me I seem to have to hit the down-arrow download button at below left of where the PDF should usually show, to get to see it). 389 Rosenwald schools total in Arkansas up to end of program in 1949. It was based on "Floor Plan No. 20 for a 'Two Teacher Community School' from Samuel L. Smith's Community School Plans. Smith was the General Field Agent for the Rosenwald Fund, and he developed..." plans especially focused on allowing for lots of natural light, including with seating such that light came from students' left, for helping right-handed students. The two-teacher ones had 2 classrooms and are referred to as two-room schools sometimes, including at least twice in this NRHP document, though had an "industrial room" as well. Designed also to avoid interior hallways. Designed to include a stage somewhere and a moveable partition wall, so assemblies/events using stage could be handled. I don't myself see Rosenwald school plans uploaded to Commons (not at main level category "Rosenwald schools" anyhow), but i think it would help the article to have at least one plan example. --Doncram (talk) 06:36, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

There are plans for 2-teacher schools within the MPS document linked from Samuel L. Smith article, taken from his Community Plans book which is surely in the public domain. --Doncram (talk) 06:44, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Doncram yeah, was going to add some floorplans and maybe expand from other sources, right now it is mostly based on one source. MB 14:29, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Doncram Two-room schoolhouse is now live. Go ahead and make any corrections if you see typos or anything. I found another NRHP one in Peoria, AZ without an article. If you create that, since you seem to like making starter NRHP articles, let me know. MB 04:29, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

DYK for Two-room school

On 15 March 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Two-room school, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the US government once mailed rural school districts scale models from which carpenters could construct actual two-room schools? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Two-room school. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Two-room school), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

FAW Jeifang

Hi MB. it seems you have undone all my edits to the page FAW Jiefang, why did you do it? I'm looking to update it again and hoping you won't undo my changes again. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mlhk 2021 (talk • contribs) 02:35, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Mlhk 2021, I reverted the changes because they are promotional and had no references. You also removed all the references that were in the article. An article should not have sections like "Brand positioning, Corporate mission and vision". It certainly sounds like you have some relationship with this company and really shouldn't be editing the article. I left a message on your talk page about how to handle a Conflict of Interest. If you have not done so, you should read the information there. You must first declare your COI. If you make the same kind of changes again they will be removed. MB 03:38, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi MB, I believe my latest set of changes (different from the first set of changes), has removed all the promotional elements from the page and keep that as a factual and impartial piece of information. I dont think your latest edits, which removed all my inputs, are justified. Happy to discuss certain sentences/sections that you have doubts about but i think removing all my inputs is a little bit over the top, and made me question the impartiality of your position and intention to remove one's inputs entirely. I saw that you left a comment "It's not overly promotional but needs cleanup at the least" on the Conflict of interest Noticeboard - as said i am happy to discuss where on the page requires "cleanup" but i don't agree with the fact you have removed ALL my inputs.

Mlhk 2021, I did not make any further edits to the article. It was edited by Possibly (which you can see in the article history). Please discuss with them on the article Talk Page, not here. MB 15:05, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Town Center at Cobb

I have recently spoken with the mail management and the wish to have their company name listed on this Wikipedia as manager & leasing. So, that is why I made that edit. They also request that this article be referenced on the Wikipedia page as well telling how they have taken over the mall’s management and leasing. They were hired by Deutsche Bank .

https://www.ajc.com/news/town-center-manager-says-its-business-as-usual-at-cobb-mall/2TCSPCUQTFGZRGF5IUXV5DDVBQ/ Rwils (talk) 00:39, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

1. The field of the infobox displays as Management. That is hard-coded and any change to it would have to be done at the common template used in thousands of shopping mall articles and would change the label in all those articles.

2. The change you made caused nothing to be displayed because "manager & leasing" is not a valid field, so the mall manager was not listed in the infobox at all. I restored it so it is at least displaying as Management

3. WP has no interest in what the mall management wants in the article.

4. As your are somehow in contact with mall management, you are strongly discouraged from editing the article yourself due to Conflict of Interest.

5. You should instead go to the Town Center at Cobb talk page and make an WP:EDITREQUEST. As stated above, you can't change the field labels in the infobox, but you could propose text for the body of the article. Don't just say something like "add the new manager"; write the change out as it would appear in the article and include sources. An editor will respond to the edit request.

Abdullatif M. Al Shamsi

Hi MB,

I noticed you've reverted all the changes I made to 'Abdullatif M. Al Shamsi' page. Is there a specific reason why? The revisions were far less promotional in nature. They were objective with citations provided. So I just want to know what the reasons where, since entire blocks of promotional/praisy text returned.

About the article being orphan, there is another Wikipedia page linking to it here: "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher_Colleges_of_Technology". But it's still flagged for some reason. Is this a mistake or does it need other articles linking to it as well?

Thanks, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.73.233.32 (talk) 17:25, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I definitely made a mistake. I restored your version and did a little minor cleanup. MB 17:51, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

infobox artwork

Hi. Regarding this, I copied the template directly from template:infobox artwork. Doe the spaces matter? Just entirely curious. --- Possibly (talk) 22:58, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Possibly, no - the spacing does not matter all. Many people find it easier to read if everything is all lined-up, so I did that while I was making a change that does matter - this infobox requires the artist to be linked. If not, it is put into Category:Pages using infobox artwork with unlinked artist field MB 23:05, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi, after you tagged the article for additional citations I added some more. Are there enough to remove the tag or does it require more work? Autarch (talk) 12:00, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Autarch, I removed that tag now that it has six references. But I see it has since been tagged for a COPYVIO due to close paraphrasing, so you need to work on that. MB 14:36, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks - I think I was so narrowly focused on getting architectural terms right that I didn't realise that I'd reproduced source text verbatim. I've followed advice given on my talk page and written a draft that doesn't seem to have that problem. Autarch (talk) 18:45, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Big Nose Kate

Not a big issue – I don't want to raise a stink: I did not include Kate's YOB in the short because the sources give two different years. I'm inclined to use the gravestone. Thanks for the edit. – S. Rich (talk) 05:31, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

Srich32977, I just grabbed the YOB from the lead & IB and was unaware of any controversy. I just looked through the article and it doesn't say anything about this. The article only says 1849. You have look at the grave marker to find 1850. I checked the TP and there is a note there discounting information about her birth supplied by a local doctor or coroner. MB 20:58, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

MB Reverts to Rutledge, Georgia Caption

MB, you reverted in clean-up my caption for the skyline for Rutledge, Georgia, Hard Labor Creek State Park is couple of miles away and has some out-of-place movie references you could efficiently reorganize, if you would, please. There may still be some movie references and other under Agnes Scott College that could use some major reverts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by I20sc (talk • contribs) 21:16, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

I20sc, I reverted the caption because it was way too long and did more than put the photo in context. If any of the general descriptive information about the town can be sourced, it could go into the article. As far as the other two articles, I don't understand what you are asking or why you can't make the changes. MB 23:31, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

I don't care if you reverted it or not, it needed it.
