Hello

I'm writing because of your message. Firstly, I reckon, that the name of page shouldn't be changed. Plase look at the right corner of the website - SPA Dąbie. Official name of company contains quotation mark. Secondly, could you please tell me, what's wrong with my article Szczecińskie Przedsiębiorstwo Autobusowe „Dąbie”? Is anything wrong with grammars or vocabulary? If you tell me, what kind of mistakes have been done, I will improve my article.

P.S. Sorry for the mistakes I have done. I'm not a native speaker of English language. I have been learning that language. Szczecinolog (talk) 17:49, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I seen you are right about the quotation marks, but I don't see why it should be („Dąbie”) as opposed to ("Dąbie"). As for the copy edit tag, there are just a few minor grammatical errors which a copyeditor will eventually attend to. For example, "Those buses had been bought from 2005 to 2008." should be "These buses were bought between 2005 and 2008." or alternatively "This series of buses was bought between 2005 and 2008." If you have any more questions feel free to ask. You also might want to check out the Polish ambassadors to help you. Happy Editing! Winner 42 Talk to me! 22:46, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for your message! I've shopped at the one American Apparel store they have in my country. Does that count? In any case, I have tried to offer relevant citations for my edits and tried to maintain a NPOV etc. I welcome any and all suggestions you have that will help me contribute Wikipedia-worthy edits! Kasablanket (talk) 17:27, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

I removed the guff from the article Wog because it's simply not true. There are zero serious etymologists who believe the "Wily Oriental Gentleman" story is true, and in fact this is probably the canonical example of False Eytmology, as are ALL etymologies based on acronyms (see also "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge").

The person who added that info is being coy, but the fact is, his source is not remotely authoritative. The section I re-inserted (from a previous edit; I didn't write it) included an unimpeachable source. 50.132.67.150 (talk) 02:01, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

I wholly agree with 50.132.67.150. I've reverted to an earlier wording. Ghmyrtle (talk) 12:15, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

The reference doesn't talk about 2011 KW48 (nor VNH0004). And we are in June !--Io Herodotus (talk) 21:33, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

@Io Herodotus:I'm not sure what reference you are referring to. The reference you tagged says

According to the New Horizons’ twitter feed, @NewHorizons2015, and Principal Investigator Alan Stern, the New Horizons probe will make a long-range encounter with a Kuiper Belt Object in January 2015. The object is temporarily designated VNH0004 by the mission team. It does not yet have an International Astronomical Union designation.

and

The encounter will take place at a range of about 75 million km, a distance somewhat subject to change depending on how the probe makes its course correction.

These statements appear to support the statements made in the article. Can you please clarify? Winner 42 Talk to me! 21:42, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

I very much appreciate your stopping by my talkpage to let me know that I shouldn't be restoring blanked warnings from talkpages. Chalk it up to inexperience on my part (which isn't an excuse, I know). While I didn't violate 3RR on the IP's page, I think I did earlier today on another talkpage - they're blocked now as a vandalism-only account, but I don't think that excuses me. Do you think I ought to turn myself in for warring? I did break the rules, after all, and if I need to eat a short block that's only fair. NekoKatsun (talk) 22:02, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

What you did is so minor I wouldn't worry about it. There is no need for a block because they aren't supposed to be punitive and now that you understand the policy you know what to do. This is a relatively minor guideline that no one knows about to start off with, everyone has to learn from somewhere. Winner 42 Talk to me! 00:39, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

What I did was I went through and changed the "assessdate" parameter in your references to the "date" parameter. For future reference "assessdate" is for the date you looked up a source and "date" is for when it was published. Winner 42 Talk to me! 00:41, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello Winner42, You recently nominated my page on Republic Metals Corporation for speedy deletion on grounds of notability. I have edited the content of the page to include more information about the company's notability but seem to be unable to add it to the page as it is locked only for use of an administrator. Is there anything you can do to help me make the changes, or if you would like, i would be happy to share the changes with you to see if they meet your standards of notability? I look forward ot hearing your thoughts. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hilastrul (talk • contribs) 16:41, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Hilastrul: User:Winner42 isn't an admin, so there's not anything they can do about it (I'm not either before you ask). They are only notable enough for a Wikipedia article is there is significant, independent coverage about them in reliable sources, per WP:GNG and WP:CORP. If you think they meet this, consider writing a draft article using WP:Article Wizard, and submit the draft for review. If/when a reviewer thinks the draft is good enough, they can get an admin to unprotect the page. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:20, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

If you'd like to have a coherent discussion about RT News, that would be fine. I don't understand what you were trying to communicate by posting an Arbitration Warning label on my talk page.

This week's voting for TAFI's upcoming weekly collaborations has begun at Week 31 of 2015. Thanks for participating!

Thank you for reviewing my recent submission on Producer Roberta Grossman.

I work for Ms. Grossman and was hired by her to write and submit an entry to Wikipedia.

This is my first time submitting, so it is a little daunting to read all the rules.

Is the major problem that I did not include citations within the article? Because I provided all relevant and correct footnotes at the bottom of the page to verify the factual correctness of her biography.

If I cite, for example, her employer's website, Katahadin Productions, as a source, does that meet the Wikipedia standards?

Please advise.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

• Technology report: Tech news in brief

I was just reading your comments at Talk:Sydney/GA1 and two things jumped out at me as really needing comment:

• "Any more recent population figures/estimates than 2011?" - In Australia, a census is only carried out every 5 years and accurate statistics are generated only then. The last was in 2011. Any population figures later than that are estimates and nothing more. The article contains a 2014 estimate so I don't see what else is necessary.
• Regarding "See also" "This section could use serious expansion with the introduction of many more related links" - WP:SEEALSO says the "see also" section is also not mandatory, as many high-quality and comprehensive articles do not have a "See also" section", so saying that the section should be expanded is at odds with producing a good article. A high quality article should contain no "see also" or "external links" section. Any links in these sections should, ideally, be incorporated into the body of the article. --AussieLegend (✉) 02:49, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

@AussieLegend: Fair enough, my main issue was that the population figure usage was inconsistent between the census figure and the official estimate, but obviously a very minor issue. I'll admit, I haven't read MOS:SEEALSO until you pointed it out to me. I suppose it felt odd to have a See Also section of such a large topic with only one page there. And of course I wouldn't fail or hold back the review because of it. Thanks for the feedback. Winner 42 Talk to me! 03:55, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Most of what you wrote was quite reasonable and I agree with the fail. I was surprised when the article was nominated. It went through a major expansion in the second half of 2014[19] by a new editor who had some issues[20] and I'm still dubious about some of the edits that he made. I just haven't had time to review them all. --AussieLegend (✉) 05:09, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

@Dirtlawyer1: Please do go ahead, it seems Eagle is somewhat inactive on Wikipedia nowadays. I have sent him an email regarding the review, but I have received no reply. I would very much appreciate it if you could polish up the article so I can pass it, I'd hate to fail an article so close to GA. Winner 42 Talk to me! 18:14, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, Winner. E247 has been less active over the last couple of years, largely as a result of his job/career requirements, but his Philadelphia Eagles bios are of particular importance to him. I'm happy to pick up the ball for him and carry it across the goal-line as needed -- I don't want to be credited for the review; I'm only here to help E247. How close is the article to satisfying the GA standards? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 18:22, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

@Dirtlawyer1: Relatively close compared to other GAs I've reviewed. In part due to a questionable speedy GA review a few years back. Main issues are a bunch of dead links, a few prose tweaks, and bringing the article up to date. Good luck. Winner 42 Talk to me! 19:23, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

I am a Yoruk and I know where they live in Turkey. I wanted to write this down for the reason I removed it, but I didn't know where I should leave the message.

Can you please remove that map from that page? Its giving wrong info about Yoruks. Or can you please state a source for it?

Thanks, Fish :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fish2015 (talk • contribs) 16:49, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

@Fish2015: Sorry I'm not entirely sure what you are referring to, but if the information is incorrect it should be removed. You can explain it is inaccurate using the Edit summary, this shows other editors that you have a reason for removing it. Winner 42 Talk to me! 18:50, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi winner 42, Sorry for the arbitration request, I'm new to wikipedia's practices when it comes to a dispute with another user. I just didn't know how to resolve an issue with another user, since I understand the change war issue, and I thought that arbitration was a mediated conversation with an admin and users disputing a topic. Thanks for understanding. Also, what would you recommend in this situation? Honestly not even sure if you are an admin... haha. Belnap.research (talk) 18:19, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi Winner 42,

I wanted to contact you for reverting back a quote about a back massager on the Vestavia Hills High School page. Under the Mascot section, the quote references John Oliver, the satirical news anchor, referencing a back massager being used as a sexual stimulator. I do not feel that this is necessary or contributes anything to the page of educational institution for children. Though a footnote is put on the quote, that does not necessarily make it a worthy contribution. I look forward to seeing it removed, and would happily discuss further.

Thanks! Wikipediacook — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikipediacook (talk • contribs) 15:46, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

I'll reply there in a bit. Winner 42 Talk to me! 18:53, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Btw I added a speedy deletion tag to Vestavia Hills Dogwood Festival, though perhaps it could be merged with Vestavia Hills, Alabama. But there are no references at all. The 'Vestavia Belles' may be significant though--another symbol of nostalgia for the Antebellum South in the same town...Zigzig20s (talk) 21:17, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
