[edit] Wikipedia as source
Hi, and thanks for your many outstanding DYK contributions! One word of advice: you should not cite other Wikipedia articles as inline sources. That's because we're supposed to cite only reliable sources, and Wikipedia is not a reliable source: it's user-edited, it changes all the time, and it's a tertiary source (an encyclopedia). What you should do is provide an internal (dark blue) link to the other Wikipedia article in the text, and cite its (reliable, primary or secondary) sources where appropriate and available. In cases of foreign-language Wikipedia articles, you can also add a reference like "parts of this article were translated from the German Wikipedia article on ... [link]." Best, Sandstein 05:17, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
- In reply to your question, the above is quite right. Citing another Wikipedia article as your source is the same as not citing at all. The other article should provide references that should provide whatever information you wish to cite in your article. If those sources don't exist or don't provide the information you wish to include then that illustrates very clearly why you shouldn't cite an article in another article. If they do exist and do provide the information you wish to cite then we end up with two well-cited articles using reliable sources that have been checked at least twice. It could be tempting to reference another article when it references a book that you can't obtain, but while that is unfortunate, it isn't an excuse to skip the task of checking the facts. In that case, just leave out what you can't verify. Yomanganitalk 15:44, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

- Hi again. I see you keep coming up with new DYK articles, which is great, but again... please stop citing Wikipedia as a source. Doing so is impolite towards others who will have to remove these obviously inappropriate references later. Sandstein 05:32, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
-
-
- In reply to your reply, no problem. No matter what novel technique you may use, Wikipedia articles may not be cited as sources because they are not reliable sources. The correct way to refer to other articles is through internal links (see also templates such as {{main}}) and through interwiki links, as suggested below, but these are navigational aids, not sources. I've noted this problem with respect to your articles at T:TDYK, so you may want to clean them up or they may not be featured on the main page. All the best, Sandstein 05:45, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, to break into this conversation, the easiest way to fix up your (or others') articles that cite other wikipedia articles is just to delete the citations. WP:ATT makes it clear that although all material should be attributable, it need not actually be attributed. If there is material likely to be challenged, then you could add {{fact}} if you are unable to find a source yourself. Of course, if you have a source that mentions it (including a foreign-language source), you can add that citation; many articles on foreign wikipedias (though lamentably not all) will list their sources, which you can cite directly.

I noticed your article on Ruine Wulp which includes information from the German Wikipedia article Ruine Wulp. Please, if you are aware of a corresponding article in another wikipedia, add an interwiki link to that article. In this case, it is done by adding [[de:Ruine Wulp]] to the end of the article (de being for the German Wikipedia, de.wikipedia.org). Rigadoun (talk) 18:41, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Category talk:Wikipedians by year of birth
It goes against WP:CHILD, which, although is not official policy, is a Good Idea. :) Blast 05.04.07 0003 (UTC)
- Or, it did, at any rate. Last I checked, it was still undergoing discussion, but I guess ArbCom decided it was a failure. Given that, I suppose you could create a category for that, but you'd likely get unofficial flak. Blast 05.04.07 0005 (UTC)
[edit] History of Poisons
I highly suggest that we start to break off some chunks into main articles, so that we don't overstuff the article with information. bibliomaniac15 05:14, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the info, unfortunately I was going by the codemasters link at the bottom of the article, which if you click it, shows quite clearely "No results forund for Rafa Nadal Tennis - DS". Therefore I was justified in suspecting a hoax. However, I now know it is a duplicate of another article already in existance here, Rafael Nadal Tennis. Either way, the Rafa Nadal article is outta here. Regards - Thor Malmjursson 02:35, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:RedLancers1.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:RedLancers1.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. howcheng {chat} 07:03, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ACID
I'm pretty familiar with the workings of WP:ACID, so I nominated it. Come down and show your support! bibliomaniac15 20:57, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- What happens is sort of like this:
- Someone comes and nominates an article.
- People look at this article, and based on notability or interest, they support it.
- Every 4 votes, the overdue date is extended by a week or so.
- If not enough votes have been attained to keep an article from being overdue, then it is removed.
- If it manages to gain the highest votes and stay above the overdue limit, then it is selected to become the new collaboration. Each collab starts on a Wednesday and ends on the next.
I hope that answers your questions on the process. bibliomaniac15 22:52, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- No, the other noms stay. That way, we can ensure that there's a continuous supply of noms. bibliomaniac15 23:56, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
-
- If it's popular enough, then it will survive. It's actually harder than it sounds. It's often High to Core topics that get selected. bibliomaniac15 01:37, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
-
-
- It can lie in both. For example, the article I'm working on, Komodo Dragon, is under the Amphibians and Reptiles WikiProject as well as Wikiproject Indonesia. bibliomaniac15 02:23, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lucien Quélet
Hi Anonymous Dissident. You had said that the cited reference mentioned that Quélet's theory "was contrary to Charles Darwin."
The reference I was referring to was the cited one, which is this. The word "Darwin" does not occur anywhere in the text of this page, so I'm not sure quite what you mean here. Could you clarify? Thanks, --Saforrest 00:09, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- Further to this, the closest thing I can find on the cited page to a view on evolution is this:
- "En effet, Fries, comme tous ses devanciers et contemporains, avait établi sa classification à rebours de l’évolution, c’est-à-dire que l’ordre dans lequel il avait rangé les espèces partait des plus évoluées pour aboutir aux plus primitives."
- Here is a rough translation
- "In effect, Fries, like all his predecessors and contemporaries, had established the classication along the wrong evolutionary direction, that is to say the order in which he arranged species went from the most advanced to the most primitive."
- I really don't quite know how to properly interpret this sentence, but it seems to purely about taxonomy. Drawing any conclusions from this statement about evolution itself does not seem warranted. --Saforrest 00:18, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Egyptian birds
I've just noticed you've started List of Egyptian birds. I've created List of birds of Egypt as I was using the data as test data and created a lot of bird lists as a result. It doesn't matter, you can use it as source data or merge the two: just put a redirect in for whichever title doesn't survive (and add your page to the Category: Regional bird lists so it can be found.) Yomanganitalk 12:19, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
- I'll leave it up to you. I'm running a script that takes the lists from Clements' and formats them for wikipedia, and Egypt was one of my test countries. I've adopted the format "List of birds of x" as more use that formula than "List of xian birds" (I copied the Cuba title from Puerto Rico, but I'll move it once the FLC process is finished), and now I've done that there are 60 odd more using that title, and there will be another 60 or so coming over the next few days. Do whatever you like with my Egyptian list: the only reason I put it in was yours wasn't listed in the category I was checking against, so I didn't notice it until I was looking at a "What links here" on a bird species.

[edit] Poet
If the result of the GA review is that it can't be promoted without the addition of of citations for the bleeding obvious, you might want to skip that and head straight to FAC. If you want to wait for a few weeks I can add some more stuff in on the relationship to The Enraged Musician and probably some history on the plates and states (A reference needed for "a comic scene of a violinist driven to distraction by the noise from the street outside his practice room"? I'm lost for words). Yomanganitalk 10:06, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm, if you think we can get this to FA, I'd be very happy to help out. And yes, I agree - the fact that someone requested refs for something like that is absolutely ridiculous. -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 10:53, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- On second thoughts, I won't bother - I've never been interested in GA and I lost interest in FA some time ago. If you do need anything in that article citing to get it through GA I can cite it all, but I don't think there is anything in there that is "likely to be challenged" (unless adopting the "the sky is blue"citation needed approach).

[edit] Thanks for informing me about the RFCN decision
Thanks for writing a comment that made me aware of the RFCN ruling. I had not been informed about it, I am just glad that my username is in accordance with the guidelines.⇨ EconomistBR ⇦ Talk 21:47, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Jack Johnson
Hi there. I see that you moved Jack Johnson (musician) to Jack Johnson. Would it be possible for you to delete the redirect Talk:Jack Johnson and move Talk:Jack Johnson (musician) to there? Right now the talk page has been separated from the article. Thanks. Adam McMaster (talk) 07:52, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
- Done. Sorry I neglected to do this before. -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 08:27, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] a new article for DYK
Hello, Anonymous Dissident, there is a new article on a Chinese athlete Jin Jing. We want to push this article onto the "Did you know" on the main page. Could you give us some comments on the talk page of that article? How should we improve that article? If it's a good one, could you please help us put this article onto the "Did you know"? The question could be '[Jin Jing|Who] is called the "Smiling Angel in Wheelchair" by Chinese people?' Thanks!--Supportjinjing (talk) 23:33, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] G'day
G'day esteemed person who has expressed interest in Sydney based meetups at this page (I hope that's the correct wording for the formal greeting!!). You may have heard that Australia is to have its very own 'chapter' of the Wikimedia Foundation - and further, there's a meeting coming up to discuss / enact the chapter's incorporation (details here). I'm afraid that I don't know too much about the details of what this entails, other than having a private hope that we might get a secret handshake, and maybe cheap coffee at wikimania (this is a poor attempt at humour - I'm sure that the Chapter's do great work, and it's a good thing that Australia is to have one).
If you're interested in meeting up this weekend (the set date is the 20th) - or later, then please do head over here and sign up, or make a comment at the talk page... the drive to create the chapter has largely come from another town in Australia that I'm afraid I haven't actually heard much about.. and anything they can do.... right? - cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 11:11, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Drinks and a wiki chat?
G'day sydneysider - fancy a 'not quite a meetup but a few drinks' sort of thing? - We can chat about the new aussie chapter, the price of eggs and have our very own 2020 Wiki Summit! - or just sink a couple of cold ones and gass bag about the good 'ol days of wiki, when an editor could get some repsect (not a typo)! I've suggested something here so take a look and sign up if you're up for it... cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 02:28, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Should be OK to unprotect acupuncture; problem editor blocked
Hi A.D. - the editor who was edit-warring against multiple editors at acupuncture has been blocked, with a likely topic ban to follow: User_talk:Mccready#Blocked_2. (Discussion at AN/I here.) There's no problem with just waiting till the page protection expires, just thought you'd want to know. cheers, Jim Butler (t) 18:35, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
