Aphex Twin
Hi, you’ve made some very helpful changes to the lead, but your insistence on including a tiny label that is rarely (if ever) mentioned in overviews of James's career (and not even naming it, implicitly admitting that it’s not significant enough to mention!) is inane. He recorded for several other labels during that time too, and you’ve not bothered to mention those—rightly, because it’d be silly. Include those details in the article body. gentlecollapse6 (talk) 00:22, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
- Clearly, Gentlecollapse6 we differ on this. Fine. Your presumption of ownership, however, is not appropriate, and neither is pretending to be making accusations of edit warring while in fact actively instigating an edit war yourself. Do not do this again. The appropriate place to discuss content disputes is generally the article talk page. It will be helpful in discussion if you refrain from seeking to dictate what is "compromise". I.e. in this case: I think a brief mention of how artist emerged from free party scene and gained fame/recognition is at least as notable as an "inane" recounting of which aliases he was recording under in which years, when he signed to Warp etc, and hence should be included in the lead. You do not. Not including it is not compromise. I suggest you respond on the article talk page. Cambial Yellowing❧ 01:50, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Self-described?
I'm not going to pursue the Charity v Think-tank argument but are you sure that they really describe themselves as a think-tank? I haven't looked but it is a very tabloidish phrase so best you check as you wrote it. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 12:13, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- Yes. As to the sentence, John Maynard Friedman, I think it is now clunky, and prefer simply "charity" given that that is what it is precisely defined as in law and in British English. I did not revert in order to accommodate the concerns you expressed in your edit summary. Cambial foliage❧ 12:44, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- and I'm not arguing because technically you are correct. I just worry that the rest of the world understands the word 'charity' as on organisation that feeds the hungry and tends the sick. (Think of the Sally Anny commenting on the Offside Rule). I won't pursue it but shan't be surprised if someone else does. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 13:54, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- put it back to just 'charity' then, as it is just too clunky as is. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 13:56, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
wiki markup in original source?
I'm surprised by this edit, which restores the rather unsightly [[John F. Kennedy] construction. I take it the actual source contains a reference to Kennedy which doesn't use his name? Eelworm (talk) 19:43, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
- It's a direct quote hence why it sits in the quote parameter. I explained the reason in the subsequent edit. Cambial foliage❧ 19:54, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

Houston, TX 12.17.16
I don't particularly care whether this release is classified as by AFX or Aphex Twin as they're all the same dude in the end, but we should be consistent across all articles. The article refers to it as by AFX, not Aphex Twin, and as I said in my revert summary, James's own website prefaces it as by his AFX moniker here. The only sources I'm seeing stating the contrary from a quick Google search are Discogs (and they're not reliable per WP:USERG) and uploads of its tracks on websites. Ss112 20:45, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
Request for translation of Deutsche Welle text
It’s unusual that this article does not appear in the English-language version of Deutsche Welle, which I have checked. Could you confirm/clarify please: by paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 do you mean starting at "Britisches Gericht lehnt Freilassung von Assange ab" and ending immediately before "Wikileaks-Gründer in Isolationshaft" ? CWO (talk) 13:57, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for responding @CWO:. It is indeed highly unusual. As the article has been translated into Bosnian, Spanish, Croatian, Romanian, Albanian, and Serbian, the absence of English is odd.
- Yes, those are the paragraphs I refer to. Cambial foliage❧ 14:08, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for your reply. I have now completed this. To make it easier for myself, I copied and pasted the Deutsche Welle article into Google Translate then copied and pasted the result in English into a Word file. Then I checked the translation against the original German text, correcting it where necessary: e.g. the Google text made it appear that while Merkel was visiting Washington, so was Biden; "konstuiert und haltlos" appears twice but was given two different translations. I've also inserted a couple of clarifications of my own in square brackets mostly to do deal the fact that the article was dated 2 July 2021 and the tense the verb has to be in accordingly, and one explaining the German abbeviation ROG.
What should I do now? How do I pass the translation on to you? It's so long since I last did this, I've forgotten how.CWO (talk) 13:23, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for taking the time @CWO:. There are probably better ways of doing this, but I suggest we use Pastebin.com - Link
- The simplest is if you paste the text using a short expiration time (1 day or so). If you are concerned about this method you could even use a "burn after reading" expiration if I know when you intend to post the link here. Alternatively I can provide a "burn after reading" link on pastebin.com for my email address. Cambial foliage❧ 14:15, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
I have signed up to Pastebin and posted the text a few minutes ago, with an expiry of one day. However, I have no idea how this works or how one knows where to access other people's posts. My username is "CWOwen1952".CWO (talk) 15:08, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
- @CWO: If you have created an account you can go back to your paste and copy the url here. As long as the setting for "Paste Exposure" is set to "Public" or "Unlisted", I will be then be able to view it. It's not compulsory to use an account to make a paste. You can make an anonymous one with an expiry time on it (while logged out). To share the Paste simply copy and paste the url. Like this: https://pastebin.com/MPmd3Ugn . A burn after reading paste can only be viewed once: https://pastebin.com/XLN21f9R. Cambial foliage❧ 15:26, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing Assange Archive pages
I was wondering what on earth you were up to with the archive pages but I understand now the archiing must have bombed out halfway along doing an archive and left an empty one. Thanks for the work fixing it up rather than leaving a gaping hole that might leave people thinking all sort of weird things. NadVolum (talk) 23:05, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Hey man. I'm sorry for wigging out on you. Regardless of the content, I feel bad. Hope all is well. And thank you for making the improvement to the article possible. It would have been lesser without, for better or for worse. Piotr Jr. (talk) 20:38, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
Internet Archive Scholar vs. JSTOR
Hello, I see on your user page that you use JSTOR and I'd like to know more about your experience. By my calculations, a good 70 % of the main JSTOR content is now available for everyone at Internet Archive Scholar, with full text search provided e.g. at https://scholar.archive.org/ . The service is still in beta, but I've used it for some source-finding and it seems quite usable to me; I wonder whether that's just my experience. If you have a chance, the next time you'd be looking for a source on Google Scholar or JSTOR or similar, to perform the same search on IA scholar instead, I'd be curious to hear how it ends up. Thanks, Nemo 19:06, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
Canvassing
Hello Cambial Yellowing,
You recently posted on my talk page that I am canvassing,then proceeded to delete it.
Canvassing is posting large amount of comments on users page asking them to support your opinion to influence an outcome.
I simply asked one individual for their interpretation or understanding of what an opinion piece is. The posting was limited and the message had a reasonable amount of neutrality to it.The user I asked has disagreed with me before on multiple occasions and wouldn't be considered particularly partisan. This entirely follows the rules of notifying other editors. Basedosaurus (talk) 22:10, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Basedosaurus: I removed it only because I noticed that, unless you have abandoned an old account, you are a relatively new editor, and I do not wish to Wp:BITE a newcomer, as you were likely unaware of the policy around gathering wider input. As you've opted to engage here, I'll respond.
- These two edits that I referred to in my comment are not appropriate notifications, and fall foul of the canvassing policy. The description of canvassing you've given above does not reflect how we define canvassing on this website; we use a wider definition. There is a list of appropriate notifications and a non-exhaustive list of inappropriate notifications in the canvassing guideline. Your messages were nowhere close to neutral. Posting a notification of discussion that presents the topic in a non-neutral manner, as your notifications did, is contrary to the behavioural guideline. I recommend getting acquainted with the bulk of the conduct guides, particularly WP:CONSENSUS. Cambial — foliar❧ 22:15, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
