Our coverage of Russian towns is pretty decent thanks to Ezhiki, Ym and a few others. Ukrainian cities are OK but we're missing most of the articles on villages as we are with Russia, so naturally it amounts to the majority of settlements still missing. I created one as an example ] and stubbed a few. And most of the raions are still stubs, the way I left them after I created them.

Discovered in 1998–1999 by the team of B. Adams (2002a, 2004: 47–52), Tomb 16 is a large tomb of the Naqada IC–IIA period into which a bricklined tomb of the Naqada IIIA2 period had later been inserted in what now appears to be an act of respectful renovation rather than usurpation (Hendrickx 2008: fig. 5). (...) In all probability, the two famous ceramic masks also originate from this tomb (Fig. 2). Some fragments were found in the tomb fill, although the majority were collected in surface and subsurface levels to the west and especially to the south, where the beard to the smaller mask was recovered in 2010. Other finds from the tomb and its fill include carnelian ring beads, two biconical gold beads, ivory comb fragments, rock crystal blades, three transverse arrowheads and one tanged arrowhead.}} | |||

Following up on some of your ideas...

I believe you may have created this article and I recently made some changes (had found two sources to include). This led to adding quotations, which led to revising the original article (to accommodate the changes) and I just wanted to let you know. Please edit as you see best.

== Parent cat? == | |||
Hi, long time.<p>Why are you adding the "American films" category to articles which already have an "American XXX films" category? (See ] for an example of what I'm referring to.) Surely "American films" is the parent category of these cats, and does not need to be added? I'm confused as to why you are doing this. ] (]) 06:14, 15 September 2014 (UTC) | |||
:I note that you plan to resume making these edits in the morning. Please note that AWB is very specifically '''''not''''' to be used for controversial edits: <blockquote>From "AWB - Rules of Use"<p>3. '''Do not make controversial edits with it.''' Seek consensus for changes that could be controversial at the appropriate venue; village pump, WikiProject, etc. "Being bold" is not a justification for mass editing lacking demonstrable consensus. If challenged, the onus is on the AWB operator to demonstrate or achieve consensus for changes they wish to make on a large scale.</blockquote> The addition of a parent category to an article which already contains a child category is very clearly "controversial", and, while a few editors at the Film Project may be egging you on, Wiki-wide consensus is opposed to these edits. If you persist in using AWB to make these edits, I will not only revert them, I will ask for your AWB privileges to be revoked due to misuse. Please consider your next course of action carefully. ] (]) 10:51, 15 September 2014 (UTC) | |||

Great job on ] and other bee article talk pages. Could you teach me how this is done?--] (]) 00:19, 6 October 2014 (UTC) | |||
:Sure. First question - do you have AWB access? --<font face="Old English Text MT">]</font><sup>]</sup><sub>]</sub> 00:21, 6 October 2014 (UTC) | |||
::OK - you do, I see. Here's what I do to mass-tag articles like I did: | |||
::*Step 1: Using AWB, I set "Source" to "Category" (usually "Category (recursive)" for ease of access), and "Links on" to whatever category of stubs I'm looking for. (In this instance, it was "Bee stubs".) | |||
::*Step 2: Under "List" on "AWB", I select "Convert to talkpages". | |||
::*Step 3: "Filter". Weeds out duplicates, in case any show up. | |||
::*Step 4: Under "List" I choose "Save list", which saves the list as a document on your computer. | |||
::*Step 5: I create (or use, usually) a page in my sandbox, using the saved list. (If it's very long you may have to break it up into two or three pages.) | |||
::*Step 6: Using AWB, I set "Source" to "Links on page (redlinks)" and "Links on" to whatever the name of the sandbox page is. | |||
::*Step 7: Once the redlinked articles have come up, on the "More" tab in AWB, I click on "Enabled" under "Append/Prepend text" and fill the box with whatever template stuff I want. I choose either "Amend" or "Prepend" (the latter works better, I think - less extraneous whitespace.) | |||
::*Step 8: On the "Skip" tab, I make sure that the button at the bottom, reading "Exists" under the header "Page", is clicked. This will skip all existing talkpages. (Shouldn't be any, but just in case.) | |||
::*Step 9: I create an edit summary and begin editing as I normally would. | |||
::This is what I do. I'm sure there are other ways to do it, but this is the one I've jury-rigged for myself over the years, and it seems to work. | |||
::Hope this helps!--<font face="Old English Text MT">]</font><sup>]</sup><sub>]</sub> 00:42, 6 October 2014 (UTC) | |||

Kuroda Seiki and unsourced claims
Hello Ser Amantio di Nicolao, I'd like to ask about the page Kuroda Seiki that you created in early 2006. When you made the article, the "Legacy" section contained (and still does contain) exceptional unsourced claims, specifically: Few artists have influenced Japanese art as much as Kuroda.
among other unsourced claims. Per WP:BURDEN, I've challenged them by placing them in {{cn-span}}
tags and tagged the section as needing more citations because I have reasonable belief that these claims are true. However, I plan to remove the info within a week's notice per WP:V and BURDEN. If I am mistaken in this tagging, please let me know. Thank you.
P.S: Happy new year. —Sparkle and Fade edits 07:08, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Sparkle & Fade: I'm the first to admit that my articles from eighteen years ago need a fair bit of work, but I don't have the time or the inclination to return to them now. Whatever happens, happens.

dmy and shortdesc
I am honestly a bit surprised I'm the first one to post this here, but please make sure whatever version of AWB you are using us up-to-date; {{short description}} should always be the first thing on the page, and AWB should know this, and thus edits like Special:Diff/1267333194 should not be happening. Thanks. Primefac (talk) 17:25, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Primefac: Odd. I did this last night, and it was correct. And I've changed absolutely nothing in the setup between now and then. And there are no updates according to the tool.
- I'm leaving the house in a little while, but when I come home I'll play around with the module a bit and see if I can correct for this. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoLo dicono a Signa. 17:32, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
Ser Amantio di Nicolao, check out MOS:ORDER. If you're using a tool or a bot to add that dating, sometimes those bots and tools have bugs. It's best to always double check those edits. Masterhatch (talk) 17:31, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Masterhatch: I usually check first thing. I guess a.) I was lulled into a false sense of security (see comment above), and b.) I just woke up (so maybe it's too damn early for thinking.) Regardless, I'll take another look tonight to see if I can correct for this. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoLo dicono a Signa. 17:33, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- I noticed a space was also being added where there was no need for a space. Anyways, i fixed about 100 of the edits. There's probably a couple hundred more to go. Any chance you could help and fix a few? Masterhatch (talk) 21:47, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Masterhatch: Apologies. I've been out all day, elsewise I would have been happy to make the required fixes. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoLo dicono a Signa. 07:04, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

I went back over nearly 500 of your edits and fixed most of the spacing and MOS:ORDER issues. Almost every one of your past 500 edits had an issue. I also found 2 counts of you adding that dating template to articles that already had it. Please be careful when using bots as it takes a lot of work to go back and fix it. Masterhatch (talk) 02:17, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
As an additional request to this, can you please check for the presence of the Use dmy dates
template and remove it please. Just adding Use mdy dates
causes a template conflict. You will need to check the whole article, because there used to be a preference for putting the Use dmy/mdy dates
templates at the bottom of the article code. Thanks. - X201 (talk) 08:35, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- @X201: I do try to exclude for it - are there any examples in particular you're seeing where it's showing up? Either way I'll make sure to recheck my data in a bit. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoLo dicono a Signa. 22:52, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
Request
It looks like the software stops giving milestone notifications after the tenth millionth edit (per Help:Notifications#Milestone). Since you're the most likely out of any current Wikipedian to ever do so, I was hoping that maybe you could screenshot the notification and upload it if you reach it? Thanks. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 08:06, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Clovermoss: I will do my best to remember to do so in that as-yet distant future. (Not being facetious - as I get older I'm not sure I will remember this conversation tomorrow, much less that far in the future...) --Ser Amantio di NicolaoLo dicono a Signa. 09:15, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- I'll try to remind you closer to that milestone then. It's definitely not going to be me that hits it, because my goal is to hit a million edits before 2100. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 02:56, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Clovermoss: Methinks you have time, then. :-)
- I should think there would be someone over at Commons, at least, who's getting close to the mark? It strikes me that it would be much easier with the way Commons is structured. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoLo dicono a Signa. 05:35, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Either that or wikidata. I know of several editors that have a million plus edits on that project. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 05:40, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

- Well, I don't know if you've ever seen it, but my essay about mobile editing is here. I usually use the desktop version of the site, but I've definitely done a lot of experimentation with the app and finding out its limitations.

- @Clovermoss: Thanks for the reminder, by the way - I've meant to contribute to your "Editor reflections", but somehow always forget until I'm away from the computer.
- Incidentally, from the article: you have recommended "a visual editor that doesn’t require any coding skills." I often tell people: one of the things that first attracted me to this project was the fact that I didn't need significant technological skills to participate, and that the coding was easy to understand. I feel like we get away from that too frequently; I'm glad to see there are others who recognize and remember that point. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoLo dicono a Signa. 06:41, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Yeah I feel like the point I was making there got a bit lost in translation. What I was specifically suggesting was that the mobile app should have visual editor (it doesn't). Source text on a small screen can kind of look nightmarish when you're used to WYSIWYG. Example: File:Editing on the android Misplaced Pages app.png. Despite that, I prefer source editing myself, even though I don't have any other computer science experience. The other thing to keep in mind about the app is that it expects you to memorize all these templates in order to use them. There's nothing like a dropdown button for

. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 06:51, 6 January 2025 (UTC)- I'm sure the Visual Editor itself could be improved, even I haven't used it enough to know what its strengths and weaknesses are. I just wish it was available on the app because we have so many mobile editors nowadays and they don't even have that as an option there. I grew up in a world where people can use the Internet without having to learn anything special so that factors into my thinking there too. I'm kind of surprised how fast I picked up source editing but I was editing wikihow at 12 so I guess I just picked it up like a sponge then (they also use mediawiki, even if they're not affiliated with the wmf at all).

- @Clovermoss: I don't know that I've ever used the Visual Editor - I think I tried it once and decided I didn't like it. I learned source editing, and that's what I prefer.
- I can't really speak to the mobile experience, as I really prefer working on the desktop whenever possible. For everything: I don't even enjoy texting, which I know annoys a number of my friends. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoLo dicono a Signa. 23:25, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Fontaine (singer)
The article Fontaine (singer) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Unreferenced and unimproved for 14 years. I can't find any reliable sources under Fontaine, her full birth name, or Saint Joan. Badly fails WP:MUSICBIO.
While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Bearian (talk) 03:26, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
Mislabeled image
@Ser Amantio di Nicolao, I'm putting this here since this edit to your userpage (I assume accidentally) is better suited here. Also courtesy pinging @पाटलिपुत्र. Heythereimaguy (talk) 22:17, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hi User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao! This image seems to be mislabeled. It is actually from Hierakonpolis, dated Naqada IC-IIA (3600-3500 BCE?). Please see (with photograph of the same artifact): Friedman, Renée; Van Neer, Wim; Linseele, Veerle (2011). "THE ELITE PREDYNASTIC CEMETERY AT HIERAKONPOLIS: 2009–2010 UPDATE". EGYPT AT ITS ORIGINS 3 Proceedings of the Third International Conference “Origin of the State. Predynastic and Early Dynastic Egypt”, London, 27th July – 1st August 2008. Leuven, Paris, Walpole, MA: ORIENTALIA LOVANIENSIA ANALECTA 205. pp. 159–161.
The Tomb 16 complex. Discovered in 1998–1999 by the team of B. Adams (2002a, 2004: 47–52), Tomb 16 is a large tomb of the Naqada IC–IIA period into which a bricklined tomb of the Naqada IIIA2 period had later been inserted in what now appears to be an act of respectful renovation rather than usurpation (Hendrickx 2008: fig. 5). (...) In all probability, the two famous ceramic masks also originate from this tomb (Fig. 2). Some fragments were found in the tomb fill, although the majority were collected in surface and subsurface levels to the west and especially to the south, where the beard to the smaller mask was recovered in 2010. Other finds from the tomb and its fill include carnelian ring beads, two biconical gold beads, ivory comb fragments, rock crystal blades, three transverse arrowheads and one tanged arrowhead.

Chevy Chase Junior College
I see you added the use mdy-dates to Chevy Chase Junior College, I have looked at both the article and its source and am unable to find any date in a non- mdy format. Could you please let me know what you saw? I agree a lot of entries have just the month like "June 1950", but nothing with a day in another format.Naraht (talk) 12:35, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Naraht: My understanding of the mdy- and dmy- templates is that they're not only to be used on articles with dates currently in the format; they're also there so that in future, if any incorrectly-formatted date is added to the article, a bot can troll through, discover it, and make the necessary changes. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoLo dicono a Signa. 14:10, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- then I see no reason that they shouldn't be added to every article with dates on them in the entire of wikipedia, which makes them useless.Naraht (talk) 14:13, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Naraht: I think the argument is that they be added to articles for the countries where date format is traditionally considered. In other words, "mdy" for the US, "dmy" for the UK and various other English-speaking countries, nothing for countries for which there's no preference. I'm American, so I can only speak to the American context. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoLo dicono a Signa. 14:16, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

- @Naraht: Perhaps, but as it's a.) bot-assisted for cleanup and b.) a hidden category I suppose it doesn't get as much consideration.

Weird coincidence
I am not logged in because I don't have an account, but my IP turned into the current one I am on now which then notified me of a new message on "my" user page which was a notification for vandalism (ONE THAT I DID NOT DO) which also led me down a rabbit hole of all the edit filters that this IP triggered. While I was going through the edits I found that whenever this IP made an edit, you were then editing that page within 2 months! This was not every time of course, but still very weird to see since when I went to your user page to see what was up with you, I found that your name comes from a book that has a very close version of my name in it. 168.212.247.249 (talk) 21:40, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
