Re: Zombie Land Saga "mentions"

Just to clarify, I reverted the four edits related to series that were mentioned in a review of Zombie Land Saga that you did because merely a passing mention in a review for another series does not mean that's a notable example of reception for those series. Series get compared to other series all the time, but that's really only relevant on the article for the series the review is actually reviewing. In this case, if Zombie Land Saga in the review is compared to Aikatsu!, PriPara, Love Live! and Uma Musume Pretty Derby, then the mention of that should go on Zombie Land Saga, but of course further context for the comparison should also be included if available to understand why Zombie Land Saga would be compared to those series.--十八 22:16, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

@Juhachi: i got the magazine copy from a B&N that's actually farther from where I live than the one closest to me, and I had already left at the time, so I'm gonna be able to get a copy on short notice and check back. But If anyone has the Anime USA Fall 2019 issue, they can find the mentions at page 63. ミラP 23:47, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

@Juhachi: I'm back and I found it. The first of sixteen paragraphs - I've only added half of that paragraph though: These days, idol anime is a genre of its own. Whether it's the aspiring school idols of Love Live!, the young career idols of PriPara and Aikatsu, the racehorse hybrid idols of Umamusume: Pretty Derby, the concept has gone in nearly every conceivable direction. ミラP 19:46, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

The most you can say about that is that the reviewer is citing the variety of idol anime over the years, and that Zombie Land Saga is doing something similar for being a zombie idol anime. But the only thing that they have in common, as far as that sentence goes, is that they're all idol anime, which isn't very much of a comparison at all in terms of a review. It would be best to summarize that review and put it onto Zombie Land Saga if you were going to do anything with it.--十八 21:32, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

@Juhachi: I found the second half of the paragraph, that should cover it up: Fans flock to the story no matter the setting: hopeful girls of different personality types join forces, train up their singing and dancing skills, and face happiness and hardship together on their way to the top. If you connect the two quotes together turns out a paragraph of the review is making common comparisons between four anime shows and a better-known one. ミラP 19:50, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Categories

Please note a few things re your recent edits. First, it is not necessary to categorise people as both English and British. English will do. Second, it isn't necessary to use a broader category if you have a narrower category. For example, a Lord Mayor of London does not also need to be categorised as a politician. In fact, Lord Mayors of London aren't really politicians anyway. Third, the "People from" categories only relate to place where people were born or grew up, not where they lived in later life. Thanks. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:19, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

@Necrothesp: Thanks. We have a lot of Category:20th-century British politicians to put in the English/Scottish/Welsh subcategories, and perhaps Rathfelder is interested. ミラP 19:15, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

I think if the British category has subcategories for England, Wales etc articles should only be in British if they wont fit in a narrower one - usually because they were born out of the UK or moved about a lot. I dont think you can really become English or Welsh by any legal process. And I am planning to break them down into counties. Rathfelder (talk) 19:36, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

@Rathfelder: However, as I've already said on my own talkpage, this should only be the county the person was born or brought up in, not ones in which they merely lived or worked. People can live or work in many places in their lifetime, but this does not define them at all. For instance, I was born in Surrey and brought up in Cornwall. I've lived in several other counties in England and Wales during my life, and I've lived in the Midlands for the last twenty years, but I'm only actually from Surrey and Cornwall. The others are completely non-defining. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:38, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

I dont think it's that straightforward. If you moved to Lancaster and worked there for 40 years people might well say you were from there. More practical problem is that many articles dont say where the person was born. I entirely agree that for people who move about we shouldnt put that they are "from" half a dozen places. Rathfelder (talk) 13:08, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

But that is exactly what you did with George Anderson (educator)! He probably taught in Eastbourne for no more than a couple of years and we have no evidence that Sussex was his home county (or even that he was English), but you've still put him in Category:Schoolteachers from Sussex. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:41, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

January 2020

Your recent edit to the page Template:GPC contains an edit summary that appears to have triggered the edit filter. The summary may have contained inappropriate text such as a highly repetitive character sequence, profanity, gibberish, or all-caps. Please use appropriate edit summaries to tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. If your summary did not contain such text, please report it to the false positives page and remove this message. Also - We don't usually have redlinks in a template so they were removed. If you want an article created, do it yourself. Me-123567-Me (talk) 03:11, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. In your recent edit to 2020 Green Party of Canada leadership election, you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see Misplaced Pages's guideline on links to avoid overlinking. Thank you. Me-123567-Me (talk) 03:12, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

@Me-123567-Me: Apparently you used the wrong template by mistake. But my point is, this article is written by a journalism speaking of him in the third person, so it's a point that counts for notability in comparison to the version deleted at AFD, so GNG should be met. ミラP 03:15, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you

I wrote up a paragraph on Wintertree for the Signpost's community view column, PRODing it at the same time for its lack of notability. You dePRODed, correctly noting it would be listed in the Signpost in the latest issue. I remedied this by making a userspace copy and reinstated the PROD.

However, an admin has now removed the PROD, citing the usual PROD policy — single-use only. I pointed out that the circumstances were exceptional — there was no objection to the actual PROD rationale, and the reason for removing the PROD had been remedied — but bureaucracy has triumphed over common sense and they are now insisting you need restore the PROD if it is to stay. Would you mind doing that? – Teratix ₵ 15:13, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Moff Gideon

Hey Miraclepine. Thanks very much for nominating Moff Gideon for DYK! If you're interested in that topic, I've nominated that article for GA, as well as a couple other Mandalorian character articles (Cara Dune and Greef Karga for now, but I'll likely be nominating IG-11 and Kuiil pretty soon as well), in case you'd be interested in reviewing any of those. Totally up to you of course, just figured I'd pass it along. :) — Hunter Kahn 17:31, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

@Hunter Kahn: I've never done GA reviews before, let alone sent an article to GA, but I'll see what I can do. ミラP 17:33, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Ahh, gotcha gotcha. No problem either way. Thanks again! — Hunter Kahn 17:37, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

FYI

Just so you know, per WP:NOTBROKEN, there's nothing wrong with having redirects leading to articles. The only case where it's necessary is if the target link was disambiguated, but in this case the redirect works fine. Opencooper (talk) 23:34, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

@Opencooper: Which one are you talking about? ミラP 23:35, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, I should have specified. I meant Hiroyuki Yoshino (voice actor). Opencooper (talk) 23:36, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

@Opencooper: There was a move discussion that decided that Hiroyuki Yoshino was actually the primary topic and did not need disambig. ミラP 23:38, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

That's fine. I have no issue with the move itself. Was just reaching out in case you didn't know that the link didn't need to be updated. If you prefer it that way for some reason, sure, but maybe in the future it will be less work for you. Opencooper (talk) 23:40, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Closing AfDs

Even though I was a keep !voter and there's nothing technically wrong with the close, I was disappointed to see you closed Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Black Falls Crossing, Arizona as a non-admin, and without any discussion of your rationale. The discussion was a difficult one, it should have been closed by an administrator, and I'm surprised you continue to close AfDs given your recent record at DRV with badnacs. I also looked to see if you had closed any other AfDs recently just in case and while your Mollie Hughes close was probably fine (if potentially premature), and correct for the Woodlands Centre of Excellence, I really don't agree with your close at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Fawcett City at all, which should have been a delete given the discussion. Please stop closing AfDs, as there's really no reason for non-admins to be closing contentious discussions, or at least please only close AfDs where the outcome is a crystal clear keep or redirect. SportingFlyer T·C 04:26, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

@SportingFlyer: I'll just add my rationale discussion there. ミラP 04:29, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

I don't feel as though you've heard what I've asked. I'm not writing you because you didn't originally add a rationale, I'm writing you because you should not have closed that discussion in the first place. Will you please abstain from closing contentious discussions going forward? SportingFlyer T·C 08:16, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

@SportingFlyer: Yes, I'll. ミラP 15:51, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

Thank you! It's appreciated. SportingFlyer T·C 11:08, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

Please don’t make up new shortcuts and advertise them without good reason

Please don’t make up new shortcuts willy nilly, and worse, don’t add them to WP:LINKBOXES unless there actually is a good reason to start getting others to use them. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:26, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

@SmokeyJoe: I don't see what's wrong with the shortcuts I made. Besides S Marshall recommended it. Consider taking WP:LTA/DRV to WP:RFD. ミラP 22:19, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

You are new, and doing weird things. Please read WP:LINKBOX. Not every shortcut goes in a linkbox. Your just made up shortcuts do not belong in LINKBOXES. Neither do they belong in hatnotes. It’s unlike S Marshall to encourage silly things. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:18, 31 January 2020 (UTC)

Keiko Sonoi

I think I'm finished translating Draft:Keiko Sonoi. I didn't translate some of the lower sections (bcz I don't feel they need to be), but a portion of the material have been incorporated, e.g., the actress's family depending on her, and some of the opinions as to her acting.

Any corrections and additions you may want to make, and publish it as an article whenever. thx. --Kiyoweap (talk) 06:21, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

Henry Stuart Russell

Categories on this article including ones you recently added seem unrelated to any information in the article itself. Are there two guys out there with similar names? Or article content that needs to be added? Kerry (talk) 23:02, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

@Kerry Raymond: Probably the latter. List of English cricketers (1826–1840) has him in the list. I can't access the CA source but it looks like a match. ミラP 23:04, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

Rodhullandemu talk page

Regarding your suggestion, I permanently protected User talk:Rodhullandemu as the user had been permanently banned. So just this morning he left me this message on Commons:

Probably not a good idea to impose full protection on this page. For one thing, how do bots without the admin bit send me messages? For another, some people have occasionally sent me messages there without realising that I am also an Administrator here. Finally you say "permanently banned"- that I find a bit presumptive because any ban, or block, can be reversed- it's a wiki, remember? Please be careful how you answer because having been treated so appallingly I am very sensitive to harassment.

I'm not sure why a user who has been banned would even need to get messages. I can't block him or protect his talk page on Commons because I'm not an admin there. What do you think should be done here? JIP | Talk 08:26, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

@JIP: Rodhullandemu's still active on Commons and has been acting in good faith, so you shouldn't worry. There is precedent for full-protecting UTPs if the associated user's TPA is revoked. ミラP 13:41, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

DYK for Yoga Body

Clarice Phelps

No idea what I did to antagonise you, but edits like this are really terrible. Using a (rather high profile) article to attack another editor by including negative unrelated things is a rather blatant form of disruptive editing and a WP:POINT violation. That you only see fit to name me, with an action no one had any issue with (not brought up as a problem in the Rama case, nor in my case) may have seemed "fun" to you (" To be fair, my favorite part was bringing up Fram."), while leaving out the much more relevant username of the admin who actually got desysopped over this, is quite telling. And no, I wouldn't argue to include their username either, or most of what happened around the deletions, it's navel gazing. But if we do navel gaze, it should be neutral and to the point, not a means to settle some scores or make a point. Fram (talk) 08:02, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
