    Lost-cause terminology in Wikipedia: Antebellum

    edit

    There are a number of articles that use the term "antebellum", a romanticized latin phrase, to describe places, times, people or events that occurred in the United States before the American Civil War. One particularly annoying instance is Antebellum United States, which redirects to Antebellum South, as if the pre-Civil War history of the entire United States was that of the South. That's pretty nasty. — Jacona (talk) 18:57, 18 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

    This unsigned user 141.136.148.235 keeps deleting important page links on An American Tail: The Treasure of Manhattan Island and An American Tail: The Mystery of the Night Monster and I think it’s the same unsigned user 89.164.105.189 that deleted the page links for no reasons. Would you please talk some sense into this user so he/she would stop? Thank you. Retrosunshine2006 talk 22:28, 19 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

    Henry James Cambie Secondary School / citing newpapapers.com

    edit

    Hi Jacona, I have limited time today to work on Henry James Cambie Secondary School, and I restored your work from Oct. 17. I also repaired the links to articles on newpapers.com, as linking to the WPLibrary clippings has problems for viewers who cannot login to WPLibrary. See the discussion here for how to convert the links. It's clunky and painful, and there are rumors that a bot may be in the works to do the conversions, but for now it's a manual correction.

    The shared history of Richmond HS and HJ Cambie until 1953 complicates the narratives for each article. I haven't figured out how to address it, so any suggestions you have would be welcome. Cheers! — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 16:55, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

    copyvio-revdel template

    edit

    Thanks for flagging up the long-standing copyvio on Christian Academy of Madison. You seem to have got a bit confused with {{copyvio-revdel}} (not surprising, it's not the easiest to work out) but for future use,

    the parameters starting |urlX= are for recording where the offending material was copied from (in this case https://web.archive.org/web/20090210023053/http://www.caofmadison.org/).

    The parameters |start= and |end= are for identifying the revisions that need to be revdel'd. These only need to be numbers, not urls, so |start= here was 309995750 and not https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Christian_Academy_of_Madison&oldid=309995750.

    |end= should be the last revision before the final bit of offending material was removed. So if you removed it all in one go don't include you own edit. If it took several edits to remove it all, don't include you last edit in that series. In this case that would have been 1185160874. It doesn't actually matter if you do include that edit as most of us handling the request know what to look for and can easily unselect that last edit if needs be.

    Reverted changes on the Serpent(Instrument) Page

    edit

    I am confused why you have removed the revisions that I have made to the serpent page. All revisions that I have made were well thought about before publishing and are all true. They were removed within minutes of me adding them. It almost seems like you didn't even check before removing the changes. KaidenJ.Bos (talk) 19:06, 5 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

    (talk page stalker) KaidenJ.Bos you may want to read WP:CRUFT - essentially, trivia and other collections of fun facts aren't really suitable content for an encyclopedia. Sungodtemple (talkcontribs) 19:18, 5 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
    Those are examples of the serpent being used within pop culture and film. Therefore I would not consider them "fun facts". So "The prop used for the titular horn in the 1956 British film The Case of the Mukkinese Battle-Horn was based on a serpent." should not be on there as well as it technically is trivia.

    High School notability discussion

    edit

    Hi. My deletion nomination for Heritage High School (Brentwood, California) was reverted, citing WP:NEXIST by you. At the same time, my draft for a non-American high school Draft:İstiklal_Makzume_Anadolu_Lisesi was declined for the second time due to WP:GNG by another editor. The draft looks much stronger to me in terms of demonstrated notability, compared to the page in PROD. I got a feeling these decisions are not consistent and hurting Wikipedia's neutrality, by over-representing high schools with certain characteristics, e.g. English-speaking countries. If it is this difficult to prove notability, should we at least add something like "notability disputed" for Heritage High School? Gorkem80 (talk) 00:31, 12 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

    hey.I hope you are doing well.I saw you deleting my edits in the page of domtar.I provided the reference for them and it clearly proves domtar is privately held company owned by Paper Excellence Group and it operates as an independent stand alone subsidiary with the current management team.

    Port Tampa Negro School

    edit

    Hi, Jacona! Totally irrelevant to my purpose here, but I like what you do here at Wikipedia. (I'm just a newb, but I still like it!)

    If you aren't doing so already, would you be willing to track down the beginnings and early history of Port Tampa Negro School? I'm working through a backlog and that's how I came across the article. If it weren't for the backlog, I'd do it myself. If it weren't a pre-segregation black school, I'd just ignore the issue. But these schools matter, and you can bet your paycheck that every cotton forced-labor farm in Leon county, Florida gets its story told here.

    I'm NOT trying to pretend to have any Wikipedia authority. I'm just a small Wikier, but you seem like someone any decent, respectful person could approach.Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 21:08, 24 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

    Not trying to be a jerk, but I added a notability tag because I couldn't find reference to it, beyond what you had listed. No in-depth analysis of it. Poor baby needs more attention than I can give it. Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 21:18, 24 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
