Hello Quisqualis, I see you removed George Dimitropolos (pulo) a second time from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Crest_Sanitarium_(New_York). Dimitropolos was director of landmark building in Romania called Palatul_Bragadiru and he owned a hotel called Hotel Olympia in NYC (200 East 42nd Street) around 1914 (research in process) and then ended up in River Crest. He is not your average individual. Can you tell me your reasons for having removed him from River Crest? He is listed on this wikipedia here https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palatul_Bragadiru. Sources include death certificate and Play Bill from the Romanian Theatre. Please advise.

Your reasons for removal are below: 1. We do not use Wikipedia as a source for Wikipedia. 2. not a notable individual 3. lack of citations of reliable sources so that others may access the same information independently My responses: Wikipedia is not the only source presented, there is hard documentary evidence, death certificate and playbill. The role of director and owner of a NYC hotel is notable. If we only relied on obtaining information which others may access independently then why do we have special institutions called Libraries or Wikipedia. I feel Libraries provide a valuable service and help obtain information that other people CANNOT source independently. Sorry but I am not following your reasoning. 23:15, 9 January 2019 (UTC)Josephintechnicolor (talk)

Wikipedia's standards of notability require coverage of a subject in WP:Reliable sources. Also, notability in Romania does not confer notability in the English-speaking world. Was Dimitropulo a national hero of Romania? Did he have an obituary in the New York Times? What books were written about him? Owning a hotel in New York City is something which many people have done. Some of the owners of multiple NYC hotels or national hotel chains have WP articles written about them, but maybe not Dimitropulo. Small fish, big pond. Do you see my point? It's the viewpoint of Wikipedia itself. Also note that we NEVER use WP as a source for WP, and that a theatre playbill is not a reliable secondary source, but a primary source, mainly for cast and crew information. A death certificate is a valid source on Wikipedia for verifying death, its time and its place. For en:Wikikpedia to consider Dimitropulo notable may take a lot of WP:Original research on your part. Unfortunately, OR is forbidden in WP articles.--Quisqualis (talk) 01:06, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Quisqualis

I am sure you are quite busy but I wanted to point out that I fixed the photos on River Crest, (no water mark, they were provided by Greater Astoria Historical Society) did you notice, any comments? 01:54, 4 February 2019 (UTC)Josephintechnicolor (talk)

The results look good. You may want to note that Wikipedia has an WP: Image lab which can remove the ink stamp from the sky area of the colored postcard brochure. They do a very good job there. Apparently, the wrong face of the postcard was inked in the stamp-cancellation process back in 1920--Quisqualis (talk) 05:12, 4 February 2019 (UTC).[reply]

Thank you. I've submitted to the lab. 09:25, 8 February 2019 (UTC)Josephintechnicolor (talk)

Duke Cunningham is a decorated veteran to say the least. To not write about his military history because he is mostly notable for his political and criminal background is quite injudicious. So I believe there can be a healthy debate about including his military career in the introductory paragraph.

But to undo a edit and deliberately accuse someone of violating WP:COI is highly disrespectful, more so when the language used is in line to policies of WP:NPV. I would request you to refrain from these inflammatory remarks. SoloKnowHow83 (talk) 17:55, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I responded to you at the help desk in a manner that was intended to be even-handed, because the help desk is not for discussing articles and because that was the same advice I had given the otehr party.

In my opinion, you are at times too acerbic in comments at Teahouse. Often, the questions are posed by new editors, and they should not be hit with a stick, regardless of how righteous they come across. David notMD (talk) 13:18, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You are getting too acerbic with all of your comments. You told an experienced editor that "Wikipedia isn't about the truth. It's about what is stated in reliable sources. Please cite one." Yet, my edit summary explained that you cannot cite things that are no longer there. Not to mention that items in the infobox do not need to be cited when the material in the text of the article is already cited. In this particular edit, the body of the article lists five roller coasters at Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park. When I changed the infobox to agree with the text in the article you insisted there be a citation. Sorry, but your opinion is incorrect. The information is already within the body of the article. There are hundreds of infoboxes without citations for each entry.—JlACEer (talk) 17:54, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In case you are unfamiliar:

From Help:Infobox

What should an infobox contain?

In general, data in infobox templates should be:

Already cited elsewhere in the article. Infoboxes, like the introduction to the article, should primarily contain material that is expanded on and supported by citations to reliable sources elsewhere in the article. However, if necessary (e.g., because the article is currently incomplete), it is possible to include footnotes in infoboxes.

Hello sir, I have a request. Here it goes, on Shamsheer Vayalil wikipedia there is an infobox in which there is a column named alma mater. In that column name of two medical colleges are given: 1:) Kasturba Medical College, Manipal. 2:) Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute, Chennai. When I clicked on the link of second college I found that the college is not actually located in Chennai. It is located in "Porur" a city in "Chennai".But in early life paragraph " Porur" is indicated. So I request you to add "Porur" in the format I am showing you below.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Konstantin

Please forgive me if it wasn't you that added the Citation Needed markers.

After I noticed this, I looked around and found quite a few things which were once on the internet in newspapers, stories, books and websites. Some of them have been deleted as time goes by, because most publications don't keep large backups, or old articles very long. TV stations in San Diego had a lot of this information on their Reporter Profile pages. Since I have retired, those pages were deleted. Some of this information was also posted on my personal website. It may have been deleted during my change in web hosts and site reorganizations. In any case, I found verifications for quite a few things. I posted several in February 2019 in the Talk section of the page. I posted more recently. So far, no one seems to have done anything about adding the citations. Since the page is about me, I cannot do it.

With a few very minor exceptions (which I noted on the Talk page), the profile/article/page/whatever you want to call it is accurate.

Any suggestions?

Phil Konstantin Phil Konstantin (talk) 21:43, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Therein lies the problem. A "page about you" isn't an encyclopedia article. If you wish for citations to be added to it, feel free to suggest the additions on the Talk page of your "whatever".--Quisqualis (talk) 23:38, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I have checked out the page. Who wouldn't check out an article about themselves. The page is not an autobiography. That is against Wikipedia rules. I have readers or viewers in many different places. For example New York Newsday once wrote a review about one of my websites many years ago. I had never seen that publication before. I found out about it while doing an unrelated web search. Some people have contributed to discussions on the Talk Page, whom I do not know personally. I don't know who created it originally. Since the 'encyclopedia article' is about me, I don't know what else to call it. A few years ago, I did correct one error in the article. Another editor informed me that was inappropriate, since you are not supposed to change things about matters you are part of. I removed the change. Someone else then reapplied the change a few days later. I did suggest the additions for some of the Citation Needed matters on the Talk Page after someone (it appears it was you) added 'Citation Needed' to many parts of the article. Since then, nobody has applied those suggestions. Perhaps you are not the person who added the Citation Needed markers to the article. I do know that if I had added Citation Needed to an article, I would check back later to see if any information had been provided to clarify or support something.

I mainly use Wikipedia as a source of information. Occasionally, I try to improve it. With due respect, I doubt any additions to your profile actually improve the encyclopedia.--Quisqualis (talk) 22:57, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Quisqualis

Thank you for the contribution you make on page Renewable energy in Vietnam. I'm really appreciated. I have a few questions I would like to ask for better understanding your contribution:

In Hydropower section, you said that "not all readers of this article live in Vietnam"; in Solar energy section you wrote "article is for a worldwide audience, not only your boss" and "Wikipedia articles are aimed at a worldwide audience, not one country". I edit this article with the purpose of bringing new information about types of renewable energy in Vietnam to everyone so all sections like Solar energy, Hydropower,... are written for the public. The page speaks itself: update situation in Vietnam for everyone may or may not live in Vietnam can read.

I don't understand much about your comment. Could you explain to me?

Dearest Quisqualis,

You've responded to several things I have posted on the Wikipedia Teahouse. I don't always find your thoughts or suggestions useful or helpful, but, your input does not go unnoticed, and there is some insight, often mirroring subsequent comments.

That said, you don't have a user page. When I see your comments, your name is in red. Is there a reason you have not created a user page?

At the time I'm writing this, I'm new, but I took the time to at least create a minimal user page. On the other hand, you have many sections on your talk page, and it seems you've been around for a while.

Just a thought.

Hello - following your kind welcoming message ([1]) I decided to register. However, I have been horrified with messages I have received within hours of registering, (see [2]) As you appear to be experienced here could you explain is this is normal ?

I was posting on this talk page, SnowyMalone, and I get the impression from the Help Desk and the Teahouse that some people do have this experience. It's not what we want. We want Wikipedia to be welcoming to newcomers.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 19:41, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You reverted my edits on Adirampattinam stating "If there is sourced data regarding normal temps, don't replace it with record highs! Even if you like the source, that's inappropriate. Your interest in record highs is your personal thing, not Wikipedia's". I believe that the revert was unnecessary for a couple of reasons.

• Even if you like the source, that's inappropriate. First of all, the source I added is from the India Meteorological Department, which is an official source. Climatedata.org, according to their website uses modelled data and states "All of our climate data comes from a climate model. The model has more than 220 million data points and a resolution of 30 arc seconds. The model uses weather data from thousands of weather stations from all over the world. This weather data was collected between 1982 and 2012." Observed data is more reliable, especially if it is coming from an official source. This has been the norm in other climate tables in other countries where official sources are preferred if data is available. Secondly, you are just using a straw man argument where I use the source just because I like it, claiming that I don't like it. This has nothing to do with emotion, I am simply trying to improve climate data in Indian Cities that have long being plagued with vandalism and lack of good data compared to other cities. I can argue that you are just exhibiting the I don't like it mentality because you cannot justify why the previous version is better other than stirring up emotional responses.

• If there is sourced data regarding normal temps, don't replace it with record highs! Are you yelling at me. Clearly, that's not how you approach users who are acting in good faith trying to improve articles. In many cities around the world such as New York City, Paris, Moscow, Hong Kong, Cape Town, Mexico City, Sydney and etc, many climate tables have record highs and lows. It is standard to include this given that record temperatures are frequently discussed on the media. Should we start deleting record temperatures then because you don't like it? That would bring a lot of opposition from users. The India Meteorological Department source unfortunately does not have mean temperatures and because the temperatures differ from the climatedata.org source, we cannot use the mean temperatures from 2 different sources neither can one assume that mean temperatures is (max+min)/2 (some countries define mean temperatures differently or calculate it as a 24 hour average)

• Your interest in record highs is your personal thing, not Wikipedia's". Pointless personal attack. Since when it is Wikipedia's policy that we ought to delete record highs and lows. You are just using the Argumentum ad populum fallacy to weaken my position when the opposite holds true where most users do want to have record highs and lows (lack of deletion). Ssbbplayer (talk) 14:26, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, Ssbbplayer! Unfortunately, I made my edit while I was falling asleep and also in a hurry. I misconstrued your edit and did not look at the way it displayed in the article itself. There is nothing wrong with putting in record highs, if they appear where they are useful, which yours did. I see some strange edits on Wikipedia, sometimes to climate data, and acted in haste. Please accept my apologies.--Quisqualis (talk) 14:49, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I see you reverted a section on the T2 mycotoxin page related to chemical synthesis, and I am hoping you can explain why.

In my view, that paragraph was both undue emphasis on one paper as well as promotional namedropping. Science and medicine articles in Wikipedia are a breeding ground for such additions, which don't improve the articles they are added to.

Hi, you recently reverted one of my edits in Computer science, where the content was actually moved to another article. The revert wasn't necessary if you looked at the talk page, consensus had already been reached, so I'm scratching my head on this one.

Hi! Maybe you could help me think this out, since I wrote the "progenitor" part. What I was trying to say is that all the later devices are descendants of Plastibell. I mentioned Plastibell since few people have heard of Ross. Also, you refer to "devices" when referring to Ross. It should be "device," singular. Can you help me think this through?

Hi Quisqualis,

I don't understand why you reverted my contribution. If you click on the link, I can't find "Plantzafrica-SANBI(new)" but on the top of the page SANBI and a colourful logo PlantZAfrica.com where the "Z" is spelled as uppercase letter. "Plantzafrica-SANBI(new)" is also not the URL they use but "http://pza.sanbi.org/pleiospilos-nelii". Can you explain? --Cyfal (talk) 17:43, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It appeared to be an attempt at gratuitous humor, given the edit summary.--Quisqualis (talk) 20:40, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It was the other way round - I was suprised by the wrongly spelled word plants and then looked curiously at the link where I found the uppercase Z and A as an explanation. I will then enter my version again in Pleiospilos nelii so that other readers will not any longer be surprised. --Cyfal (talk) 11:15, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I edited episode count of an Indian tv show by depending on information of another Wikipedia page. Here is the link to my edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/962300439 I have provided the link to my edit summery. I think Wikipedia only need reliable information but doesn't need visible reference to every information it shows. So I added the source link to my edit summary and I think it's enough. Please check it and edit that episode count or tell me I'll edit it again. Thank you . Md Maruf Parvez (talk) 23:43, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Md Maruf Parvez. You "edited episode count of an Indian tv show by depending on information of another Wikipedia page", which is something we never do in Wikipedia. This is because Wikipedia is not considered to be a reliable source, given that it is open-sourced and is known to contain many errors. Please read the page called WP:CIRCULAR, which explains why we never cite Wikipedia to support facts in Wikipedia. When changing facts in articles, always be sure to cite supporting sources in a way that is helpful to readers of the article, that is, by using in-line citations, and you will be "good to go". If you get your facts from a Wikipedia article, be sure to cite the same source the article gives as the reference.--Quisqualis (talk) 00:03, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is the reason why I have trusted the source Wikipedia page: That Indian tv serial have been aired since a very long period and have been telecasted several times of a week. So the episode count can't be so low. The episode count, I think, is higher than as mentioned in the source Wikipedia page. You can search for it. As I found higher episode count on another willing page I edited the episode count based on that information and information of other web search results. Md Maruf Parvez (talk) 00:10, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Md Maruf Parvez my point is that it is never acceptable to cite Wikipedia as a source for a Wikipedia article, ever. We editors must all find a reliable source for our changes to an article's facts, and cite it properly. Otherwise, our edits will be reverted.--Quisqualis (talk) 00:17, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Re: User:Hamuyi it has been clear to me from day one also, that they are just trolling, other users seem to have an absolutely remarkable amount of "assume good faith" they are probably a sock of User:Shadowblade08 or User:Firestar9990 or at least from the same school. Theroadislong (talk) 18:15, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they all appear to have hatched from the same clutch of eggs this spring. There are a few more, including user:DaniHart08, who I knew right away was an adult male, and they all converse on-wiki. Initially, I thought it a miracle that Hamuyi and Shadowblade08.2 had found one another, and I hoped they would "get a room", but that was not to be. I've seen this trolling pattern a lot on the TH, perhaps with a different master; it seems to be be a compelling form of entertainment.--Quisqualis (talk) 18:26, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes and the more that admins assume good faith ad infinitum, the more fun it is for the trolls. Theroadislong (talk) 18:36, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

At times, editors find themselves competing to be helpful in these ridiculous situations.
Yet another, and, I believe, entirely original troll is Visionhelp. Initially, I thought this was a tragic case of schizophrenia or dementia. I later realized that they were a master of pompous, irritated pseudo-German gibberish. I think the sheer persistence of these trolls reveals their intent, as with a recently blocked user I seem to remember as "Ram Nareshji". AGF needs to be backed up by WP:CHECKUSER, given that WP is blocking around 1,000 users per day.--Quisqualis (talk) 19:10, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree regarding Hamuyi, and suspect ShadowBlade08 is a troll as well as DaniHart08. The question is, SPI or ANI? Nobody wants to chase these accounts down because they are believed to be kids. I don't think they are kids, but rather sophisticated trolls. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 20:34, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, mimicking childish linguistic patterns is part of the game, as young users are sacrosanct (probably for good reason). Either intentionally or otherwise, however, these trolls manage to insert "grown up" expressions into their posts at odd times, raising a red flag. Teahouse, beware.--Quisqualis (talk) 21:41, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Quisqualis, I notice you are editing the Berrell Jensen page. I hope this is the place to query those edits, I'm new to this. There has been question as to whether Jensen is notable enough to be included in Wikipedia. However, you have made cuts to the text removing the following

She exhibited at Drian Galleries amongst others. 

Drian Galleries are famous in history of art galleries for a number of reasons. Please Google Drian Gallery, Drian Galleries and Halima Nalecz. That Berrell Jensen exhibited there creates a context for the notability of her work. You have also removed:

In 1965 her work was included in a group show in Hester Rupert Art Museum, Graaff-Reinet, 

Again, this is pertinent to the question of notability as a user, I forget who, suggested that this particular exhibition was 'notable' because it occurred in a museum.

I understand citations are needed and User:Cullen328 has offered to help with this, it will take time.

Also you have edited the text so it now reads:

In 1977, Jensen moved to the United Kingdom, where she then started a craft centre in County Donegal, Ireland. 

You are the second editor to assume Ireland is in the United Kingdom. This is a serious error, given the history of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Thanks! --SandAJ (talk) 21:20, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Quisqualis, I see you removed my 3D model of shock absorber which was added in Shock absorber article. Considering it is related to the subject and from engineering/mechanic area and people from that field are also interested to see an actual 3D model, may I ask why it was removed and what I did wrong? I also see you removed several of my 3D models added to specific subjects. I really do not see a reason for doing that: I followed all rules by Wikipedia, all those 3D models are mine, my copyrights, giving it for free for educational purposes and all of them are related to the subject of the article. I am just trying to improve things here, especially from engineering area, considering all of us use 3D models in 2020. Isn't that a step forward for Wikipedia, new improvement, especially when knowing that students use Wikipedia as a source of information? Some articles computer animations and video clips (and that is great!), so why 3D models cannot be added, too? Thank you in advance! Dape13 (talk) 06:36, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, narrative structure would be beneficial. I had to take action when I saw 16th-century subsistence fishing referred to as "sport". I do hope the article's content is hosted elsewhere than Wikipedia, as we're not a webhost.--Quisqualis (talk) 02:00, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I realized that I lacked basic knowlege in in many areas, such as the one you have mentioned. I think some of the info was sourced, so it is not "forever lost". But plugging in one sentence factoids, even if sourced, creates a list, not an encyclopedia article. Tribe of Tiger ^{Let's Purrfect!} 02:12, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the work on the lede. The shorter version is better.

I would like to include the fuller description of the philosophy by the Founder under the Philosophy section and I will try to condense that section.

The matter of classes/promo is important. At the same time, in order to see what Aesthetic Realism is in the real world, there needs to be a description of how the principles apply to subjects. I understand NOR and I’m thinking what to include that’s brief and is sourced properly.
