Please check the article and do not remove the birth date content as you did to Bruce Dern. The person will forget the birth date of the past and he will lose track of the memory.

I add a topic for Talk:Bruce Dern article. Please add the birth date for the biography of living person to revert normally. If you do not add birth date, other users will edit it only one at a time. You have a few hours to respond. 174.90.43.130 (talk) 14:43, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Laterthanyouthink; I had to close your WP:MFD for Tommy Rogers because the venue was not appropriate for discussing the move or merge of an article in mainspace. But I can direct you to the right place; try requesting at Wikipedia:Requested moves. The instructions for creating a request are under WP:RM#T. Let me know if you have any questions or need additional assistance. Thanks! Duly signed,⛵ WaltClipper-(talk)13:33, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
HiWaltClipper. That's fine, thank you. I think because of the limited options that were offered by Twinkle, it didn't seem to fit into any of the choices and I must have chosen the wrong one. Anyway, I will get it sorted. :-) Laterthanyouthink (talk) 01:03, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Orphaned non-free image File:Creative Australia logo.jpg[edit]
⚠
Thanks for uploading File:Creative Australia logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
HiAndreyyshore. Sorry, but I have no idea why the current version of the logo has been removed from the article and the old version (which does not display correctly) has replaced it. It is the old version which needs to be deleted, not the one I added and used in this version of the article. Both the old and the new logos should have exactly the same status with regard to fair use policy, surely? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 09:05, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
How does it not display correctly? Just in case, if you still see the old logo, but with a wrong aspect ratio, it's your cache. Try clearing it.
The old version (which is now an old revision of File:Australia Council for the Arts logo.svg) will indeed be deleted (or rather hidden from public view) in a few days by someone who has the right to do it. I didn't want to create a new file for historical reasons and I couldn't just update yours because it's a JPEG.
But your image should also be deleted now, because there is now a vector version that scales better and has transparency. None of the logos (old or new) are free, and unused ones will be deleted.
In any case, thanks for letting me know about the rebranding, because I was not aware. Rest assured that I do know what the new logo looks like. I also explained in the description why I chose the vertical version this time (I should've used the vertical version for the old logo as well). Andreyyshore🆃︎🅲︎14:08, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I saw his age displayed on the French, German, Spanish and other language Wikis so I felt like adding it to the English Wiki was a good idea since his new movie was just released and every bio page on the internet I googled displays his age. Sorry for doing a bad since you removed it straight away. 77.22.193.35 (talk) 02:13, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No worries - but English Wikipedia is very strict on WP:DOB - there must be independent reliable sources verifying it. If there are such sources on the other language wikis, feel free to use them (or discuss on the talk page of the article). Laterthanyouthink (talk) 02:17, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Re disambiguation page redlinks, before you start blocking me, you are going back into edits I made that you admitted were good faith. If you want, I'll revert them if you insist. I disagree re notability but if there are any other contentious ones please let me know. 65.88.88.56 (talk) 22:53, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, fair enough, I will remove the warnings - but you need to become more familiar with Wikipedia rules and guidelines re WP:DAB and WP:SETINDEX pages. You can use the notability argument re the WP:REDLINKS if they are doubtful and remove them if you feel strongly enough, but it is not helpful to remove the name entries from the page altogether. These pages are there to help guide the user to people with these names or topics (who/which may or may not be notable enough for an article now or in the future). You need to have a very good reason to remove any content from articles. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 23:51, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A tag has been placed on Seraphim (disambigation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a recently created redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer, or other unlikely search term.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nominationbyvisiting 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.

You wrote "WP:DAB entries have blue links only, no citations":
Does that mean that I cannot add red links to a disambiguation page?
Sorry, I can't spend the time to create pages for these extra Institutes of Contemporary Art that I have found
Isn't it a worthy contribution that I've listed them as red links, with a citation of the website, so that other contributors can pick up and add them as pages?
I'm pretty sure I've seen red links on disambiguation pages before, but don't know how to find such...
HiVladimir Alexiev. Per WP:DAB and MOS:DAB, disambiguation pages are intended to direct readers to appropriate articles where the titles are ambiguous or used for many places, people, or things - they are not intended to supply information and therefore don't include citations or non-essential information. WP:RED LINKs are allowed if there is also a blue link which targets an appropriate article and they are likely candidates for a future artcle. In this case, I have found some basic information on the two ICAs you had added, and added them to articles which seemed appropriate (although a belated thought is that the Chattanooga one could be included in the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga article rather than where I put it, but I'm not going back there now). This saves the added time and effort of creating a whole new article, but does allow the reader to find them if they're looking for them. Have a look at what I've done and if you have any further questions, feel free to ask. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 02:45, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You've kept the red links and added blue links, but deleted the references. This means that the any creator of a future Wikipedia page or respective Wikidata item will have to find them anew Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 23:13, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Vladimir Alexiev Yes, that is how WP:DABs are meant to be. I added the ICA San Diego to the article on San Diego, with a link from the DAB which is targeted precisely to the section where it is mentioned, with citations following. If anyone wants to create a new article, the refs are there. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 23:40, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
thanks!! I got it.
Now i wish someone would make a Wikidata item, and mark it "different from"
Hello! Voting in the 2023 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 11 December 2023. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
I am not sure if your edit removing Mark Sheppard's Date of Birth 12/04/2023 was warranted. IMDB confirms the date of May 30th 1964, a brief internet search doesn't show any conflicting dates. What type of source would be satisfactory to confirm a DOB in this situation? LienEmpire (talk) 04:32, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Courtesy notice - Contentious topics and BLPs[edit]
You have recently made edits related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. This is a standard message to inform you that articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles is a designated contentious topic. This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. Contentious topics are the successor to the former discretionary sanctions system, which you may be aware of. For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics. For a summary of difference between the former and new system, see WP:CTVSDS. Hipal (talk) 19:07, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please check the reliability of the sources you intend to use[edit]
Looking at both of those, the completely uncited DOBs had existed in the articles for a long time before I got there, so I went looking to see if there were any sources to verify the dates that somebody else had added, and they were the best I could find at the time. I quite often remove DOBs that are not cited, as it happens, which is probably what should happen to these. In the case of Faison, you left his DOB uncited again. I went looking for an archived version of the TV guide source that included his DOB, and added that to the citation. However I'm not convinced that that passes WP:DOB either, because it's only one slightly obscure source. Also, IMO these matters are better discussed on the article talk page rather than posting a castigation on my talk page that is not specific, so that other editors can get involved. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 05:14, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I simply removed the unreliable sources, assuming that in these BLPs that editors would simply remove unverified information.
Apologies for how I notified you of the problems. As long as we agree that they're unreliable, I think it best to move on. --Hipal (talk) 17:48, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Would you like to join WikiProject Australian television?[edit]
Hi Laterthanyouthink, our group, WikiProject Australian television, is currently recruiting additional editors to help edit the large project that is Australian TV. I was wondering whether you might consider joining us, since you work on Australian- and TV-related articles anyway. If you are interested, please add your name to the list of active participants, and see our list of open tasks. All the best, Lotsw73 (talk) 13:41, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, Laterthanyouthink, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to see you now intend to spend more time writing about women. In this connection, you might find it useful to look through the guidance in our Ten Simple Rules. Perhaps you would also like to add our {{User WikiProject Women in Red}} user box to your user page.

Hi Laterthanyouthink, regarding your latest edit on Brussels, although I fully agree with WP:IMAGELOCATION, it clearly states that most NOT all images should be on the right side of the page. In this case, I believe your change worsens the article's layout by visually grouping many images below what they actually illustrate in several sections (e.g. some relevant to 'History' are now aligned with the text on 'Geography', 'Religion' with 'Architecture', etc.), and by also creating unnecessary white space (cf. 'Transport'). Overall, this makes the article less clear for the reader, in my opinion, which differs from WP:IMAGELOCATION's original intention with this rule. So my question is: why arbitrarily change the display of all pictures on an article that has been stable in that regard since 2018? Perhaps trimming their overall number could be a solution to this? Jason Lagos (talk) 14:10, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
HiJason Lagos, and thanks for your note. It depends how you are viewing the article (I see none of the issues you mention), but I'm going to take this to the article talk page so that other editors can contribute to the discussion if they wish.

Klbrain thanks. I haven't completed the list yet. I went that way after having come across articles mentioning "Stadttheater" with no qualifier - but I suppose an SIA would allow an opening paragraph with refs to explain the concept. I'll try to complete the list anyway and then maybe discuss further on the DAB talk page? Btw I always read your username as "killbrain", lolz.

I will add citations when I get time, thanks for noticing my efforts. Note that its fairly easy to google scholar anything and find a random citation, so I think you might consider reducing weight on citations and give more value to the logic being proposed. But I will include citations as demanded by Wikipedia. Eucrm (talk) 10:10, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've added a welcome panel to your talk page. You would do well to follow the links and understand the guidelines and rules of editing Wikipedia. It's nothing personal, but regardless of how much info is available via Google Scholar (or any reliable source), or how logical it is, editors cannot just write what they think they know off the top of their head. See WP:OR. We have to first consult sources, then paraphrase, and then cite the sources, otherwise everything on Wikipedia is devalued. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 10:32, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok that's fine, and I am happy to do better, but I was in the middle of adding citations and editing, and you've removed my work. So that effort is lost. Eucrm (talk) 10:54, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
