Disambiguation link notification for July 31
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Clara Oswald, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page War in Afghanistan. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Humanist celebrant
[edit]I've no objection to changing the article title, or to some of your other changes, but I know from personal experience (which I can back up with sources if you insist) that the word "officiant" is (still) widely used both in the UK and elsewhere - although you are correct that the word "celebrant" is generally preferred in the UK. The BHA is certainly not doctrinaire about use of the term. Ghmyrtle (talk) 17:20, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Ghmyrtyle - it's not doctrinaire in regards to what celebrants use in personal advertisements and marketing but it's got its own clear guidelines about preferred language and so never uses 'officiant' in any official materials.Zythe (talk) 17:21, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
- I would make the general point that the article should - so far as possible - not be based on what the BHA says about its celebrants, but rather on what independent sources - such as the BBC - say. Obviously that's not completely feasible... but a WP article should not simply set out what the article subjects themselves want to have published. WP:COI applies in this case as much as any other. Ghmyrtle (talk) 18:33, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Ghmyrtle. I'm a longtime editor of over a decade and I know the rules! I would simply say, however, that given the BHA is a reliable source in and of itself and that BBC article (quoting the BHA's old language) is plainly out of date, that there's not a huge issue at stake in terms of which is a higher source of authority. If you look at any of the dozens of articles published about humanist ceremonies since 2012, not to mention Government mentions in Ireland, England, and Scotland, of which there have been many due to the humanist marriage legalisation debate and the first same-sex marriages in Scotland being humanist, 'celebrant' is overwhelmingly preferred and 'officiant' rarely seen, and typically then only by the sketchier sources.Zythe (talk) 09:43, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
- Sure. But entirely removing the words "humanist officiant", as you did in this edit, failed to take account of non-BHA usage, for example in other parts of the world, was too UK-centric a perspective, and could have confused our global readership. Ghmyrtle (talk) 09:55, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

Angel (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) Editing
[edit]Hi Zythe, I am 206.162.161.156 (I was unregistered until today) and I made a few edits on the Angel page, but you removed them without explanations. May I ask what was wrong with them and do you have any suggestions? Best regards, — Preceding unsigned comment added by LyonRicky (talk • contribs) 15:48, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Ricky. I found your edits were not particularly easy to read and that your rewrite discussed the character from a fictional perspective and not a real world one, as Wikipedia articles should aspire to do, so I pressed 'revert'. I thought I'd have a chance to explain this in the edit summary but then it was done.Zythe (talk) 16:15, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Death Penalty for Atheism in Malaysia
[edit]While reports, particularly the IHEU, does indicate that atheism carries the death penalty in Malaysia, that is not the case. Common law is the basis of criminal law in Malaysia, and it is silent in regards to religion. Islamic law is limited by the Constitution to family law and is limited in its scope as well as penalties. While there has been attempts to introduce Islamic Criminal Law (which in some interpretations does carry the death penalty for apostasy from Islam, rather than atheism in general), it has yet to be successful. - Bob K | Talk 17:35, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

The Dark Archer
[edit]Regarding "the Dark Archer", I wanted to let you know that Merlyn has been called that in more forms of media than just Smallville (such as in promotional materials for Arrow and a few times in the comics). No one is trying to create a feedback loop. As far as citations go, I'm a bit tied up at the moment but I'll be sure to dig some up soon. I myself have experience with having to deal with anonymous users who constantly add unsourced material without explanation, regardless of reverts. Darkknight2149 (talk) 01:39, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Template:Infobox Charmed group listed at Redirects for discussion
[edit]An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Template:Infobox Charmed group. Since you had some involvement with the Template:Infobox Charmed group redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Gonnym (talk) 19:40, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Blasphemy law, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Podemos (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Sentientism merge into Sentiocentrism
[edit]Hi Zythe,
I'd appreciate your help on the above.
Can we reverse the merging until we've had a chance to discuss this further? Sentientism isn't a neologism - the term has been used for many years, for example in this "Souls and Sentientism" paper by Richard Ryder (one of the originators) in 1991 https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=&httpsredir=1&article=1537&context=bts.
The merge has completely lost all of the sentientism article references (there are many more than for the less-used term sentiocentrism) and the external links. Sentiocentrism and Sentientism are distinct, but related, philosophies so I think there's value in them being separate entries. Sentientism can be seen as an an extension of Humanism to cover all sentient beings. In common with Humanism, Sentientism explicitly commits to the use of evidence and reason when determining sentience and making moral decisions - this was the basis of the term when created by Richard Ryder and Peter Singer in the 1970s. Sentiocentrism is silent on that front so remains open to supernatural rationales.
Happy to chat via jamiewoodhouse@hotmail.com if easier than here (I'm still learning).

Tagging of Humani (organisation)
[edit]I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Humani (organisation). I do not think that Humani (organisation) fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because "lacks independent notability; small local club." is not a valid speedy deletion criterion, see WP:CSD for valid criteria. If you wish, you may try using the simple proposed deletion (PROD) process, or the full articles for deletion (AfD) process, instead. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 17:20, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Leo Varadkar
[edit]Hi there. Per WP:BLPCAT and WP:CAT/R, please don't add religion or sexuality categories to BLPs unless the subject has identified with the particular belief/sexuality, and their notability derives at least in part from that belief or sexuality preference. You recently added the "Irish atheists" category to Leo Varadkar. Neither criteria was met for that addition. Varadkar isn't notable for atheism, and in fact the only time religion is mentioned in the article is a one-liner that says he was raised Catholic but is not religious. His tweet, used as the reference for that addition, doesn't mention atheism at all. Cheers, BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 14:07, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
