== "UK citizen" == |
|||
The government style guide states: website deals with "British citizenship". [https://www.gov.uk/browse/citizenship/citizenship]. The older usages were "British subject". [[User:GPinkerton|GPinkerton]] ([[User talk:GPinkerton|talk]]) 06:36, 20 December 2020 (UTC) |

:{{Ping|GPinkerton}} [https://www.gov.uk/browse/citizenship/citizenship https://www.gov.uk/browse/citizenship/citizenship] represents the current situation. I am aware about [[British subjects]]. In the entire time that [[Helen Smith (nurse)]] lived (3 January 1956 – 20 May 1979), the [[British Nationality Act 1948]] applied to her. The '''British Nationality Act 1948''' was in force until the [[British Nationality Act 1981]] took effect, two years after Smith's death. According to the '''British Nationality Act 1948''' article, that act {{tq|created the status of "Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies" (CUKC) as the national citizenship of the United Kingdom and its colonies.}} |
|||
:Please explain to me then, how Helen Smith was not a UK citizen at the time. [[User:Peaceray|Peaceray]] ([[User talk:Peaceray#top|talk]]) 06:52, 20 December 2020 (UTC) |
|||
::{{u|Peaceray}}, citizens of the UK are called British citizens. Under the 1948 British Nationality Act, "British Nationality" was defined as belonging to all such citizens, and all citizens of British dependencies, and all such British nationals were British subjects by virtue of having that citizenship. In all cases, then and now, the adjective for UK has always been "British", that has never changed. [[User:GPinkerton|GPinkerton]] ([[User talk:GPinkerton|talk]]) 07:02, 20 December 2020 (UTC) |
|||
:::You and I have different readings of the [[British Nationality Act]] article. I also see in [[British subject]] that {{tq|Between 1949 and 1983, the term was synonymous with Commonwealth citizen.}} It seems that there may be an inexactness of language, but it also seems clear to me from the '''British Nationality Act''' article, that UK Citizen is as accurate as anything else. |
|||
:::As per [[WP:BRD]], please open a discussion on [[Talk:Helen Smith (nurse)]] before attempting this change again. [[User:Peaceray|Peaceray]] ([[User talk:Peaceray#top|talk]]) 07:14, 20 December 2020 (UTC) |
|||
::::{{u|Peaceray}}, neither the article [[1948 British Nationality Act]] nor the ''Act'' itself use the form "UK citizen" and neither does the government. Where have you read it? [[User:GPinkerton|GPinkerton]] ([[User talk:GPinkerton|talk]]) 07:16, 20 December 2020 (UTC) |
|||
:::::{{ping|GPinkerton}} {{tq|"Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies"}} is in the lead sentence of [[1948 British Nationality Act]]. Unless you want to change "UK citizen" to "Citizen of the United Kingdom" in [[Helen Smith (nurse)]], take all future discussion to the article talk page. |
|||
:::::It is late my time & I am going to bed. Do not take the lack of an immediate response on the talk page as acquiescence. Please wait for responses. [[User:Peaceray|Peaceray]] ([[User talk:Peaceray#top|talk]]) 07:26, 20 December 2020 (UTC) |
|||
::::::{{u|Peaceray}}, "Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies" is not the same as "UK citizen". It is equivalent to "British subject" or "British citizenship". [[User:GPinkerton|GPinkerton]] ([[User talk:GPinkerton|talk]]) 07:37, 20 December 2020 (UTC) |

Hence none of his version, none of my version gained consensus, so I legally unlink that part according to the rules, since I opened a discussion in the talk, and we concluded we don't have consensus (as as well that the original linking was no ok). So with your misinterpration of the rules you've made this warning as a mistake, since I did not do any uncronstructive edit, on the contrary! As result your statement of arbitrarily enforce your own point of view in your edits is false, you did this by reverting my unlinking, since than you support a version that a same way does not have consensus, so worst case the article should have been rolled back before any of the subjects mentioned edited.

I will remove the word "moronic" but I'm leaving in "bullying" because there's no other way to describe the belligerence displayed by the editors who insist on bolding a deadname in the lede. I will do this out of respect for the "feelings" of these moronic editors. I wish they could show the same courtesy toward Wendy.Rcarlberg (talk) 15:35, 6 May 2020 (UTC) Peaceray, I researched long and hard before I made my edit, and I decided highlighting "one of the first public figures" was unnecessary. Three reasons for my decision: 1) if you go the the Wikipedia article on "sex reassignment surgery" Wendy isn't even one of the patients mentioned. Therefore, calling her special in her own article seems hypocritical. 2) if you read the Wikipedia article on Harry Benjamin, who counseled Wendy, it lists patients undergoing gender dysphoria treatment in 1951, 1952, 1954, 1958, 1961 and 1963. Therefore Wendy's surgery in 1972 may NOT have been "one of the first public figures" afterall. 3) By highlighting Wendy's surgery, perhaps counterfactually, one elevates its importance when it is not, and should not be, the lead story on this composer. Please verify my research, and consider reversing your edit. Rcarlberg (talk) 21:18, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Biographies vs AutobiographiesWhile most of the time, we only edit other people's biographies, is it possible to do up our own? The only issue I can see is finding appropriate citations, since my history is difficult to track at times. Since I'm using a pseudonym on here, I'm not really wanting to do some of it on my wiki-editors page. Although there are people who know me by this name as well as my legal name.

Would you be comfortable removing those tags now? While I did not write the material about which you expressed concern (re: his book The Kelloggs) I have written some material on the page and did work at the research center directed by Howard Markel from 2012 - 2015. I can declare this potential conflict wherever it is most appropriate. If you do not feel comfortable removing the tags on his page, would you mind sharing suggestions for further edits? Thanks.

I was someone you helped last year when I started working on contributions on wiki. There is a situation unfolding on the Swaminarayan Sampradaya page that maybe you could help on. Some users have clearly picked one branches sources. Yesterday a couple IP addresses removed a lot of biased contents (some of which I could corroborate with independent sources and I did). Some Was not supportable so I reverted it. Now it has devolved into a undo match. I think you would be the perfect neutral party or even some guidance would be nice. I have tried to stay neutral in all this and respectful. I see merit on both sides but the BAPS side is removing anything they don't like that the IP adds and the IP is removing stuff they feel is BAPS specific. I proposed a neutral consensus/resolution. I proposed that the page remain strictly to temples, idols and scriptures created by Swaminarayan himself and it link off to each branch where that branches ideology can be outlined. That page is currently dominated by one branch, using one branches documents, in this case all Baps books, for support would violate the (Wikipedia:Neutrality of sources) policy by my understanding as they have a vested interest being one branch within the Swaminarayan family. Even from imagery, there is 10 images on that page and 7 are from BAPS and 3 specifically highlight their leader even tho the image is suppose to be something else. The IP's do raise a very valid point about this. Similarly, the IP'S posted some accusatory text, which they used a citation already being used by BAPS, which the 3 baps editors are removing saying that content "does not merit inclusion" since it is negative about them. its just endless back and forth at this point. I feel my proposal of using only original swaminarayan sources for any claims on that page, then linking to each branch, seems like a very reasonable middle ground but literally no one is willing to talk about consensus and just undoing each other. You were an awesome guide early on and extremely helpful and respectful and knowledgeable on the topic. As well as being a veteran wiki contributor. I would appreciate any feedback.

In other words, the school would have been fee-paying but like Eton College the British usually call these public schools because anyone with the cash — or a bursary — can go there. I think that the article on Franklin would be best if the lede were to be changed to "Franklin was educated at a public day school at Norland Place" or use "independent" instead of "public", which is the modern word that St Paul's Girls' School itself now uses. If you don't make that change I will do so soon. Michael D. Turnbull (talk) 11:23, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!

Self-citationHello, you left a comment on my talk page to remind me that " A conflict of interest includes linking to articles that you have written." I just want to say that I'm not aiming bare self-promotion. I'm about to add information to the Hawaiian language article on the history of language policies in Hawaii and I assumed it was OK citing my own work given that I did a lot of research on the topic for my MA degree at the University of Hawaii, especially since nobody else has researched it yet, as far as I was told there by professors. I merely wanted to start by adding my publications to the reference list before editing the article and quote them in the most concise way. Also, I have no other conflict of interests. I'm not paid by anyone to do these edits. Besides, do you have any advice about how to proceed to add this information? Is it OK to edit the page itself or should I start the changes in the article's Talk page? --Rubèn Fernández Asensio (talk) 15:05, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

I just wanted to get your advice regarding when it is proper to remove messages on my talk page and I went to you because you welcomed me to Wikipedia back in 2016. In 2016, I got into an edit war that thankfully did not get out of hand and a message from a (now-retired) senior user reminded me of the possible repercussions of edit warring. The message has remained on my talk page ever since. I was wondering what your opinion would be regarding if I were to remove this message and whether that would violate any of Wikipedia's etiquette guidelines.

ABeeez (talk) 02:48, 10 November 2020 (UTC) Dear Peaceray, Thank you for your welcome. I am fairly new at participating in Wikipedia. I like to read and study a lot (maybe too much!) and am a bit of a perfectionist. I try always try be open to new information. You saw my contribution to 'Spanish flu' talk. I tried to add something to that today, but it wouldn't let me login to edit my previous writing. I was able to add the new information as a separate reply. I wonder if I accidently inserted this (<ref></ref>) into the page, because I notice there is now a citation error tagged. Thanks again for your help. You can write me directly, if you want. David P.S. Oh,oh...! I think I did add the erroneous "<ref></ref>" when I tried to edit the Talk page for the first time. And worse, I screwed up the Talk article I was commenting on. I thought I had to reproduce the whole article when I added something, and I repasted the wiki page as text only, thus zeroing out all the previous links! I hope you have a backup of the page! This is what I screwed up: "Most influenza outbreaks disproportionately kill the very young and the very old, with a higher survival rate for those in between, but the Spanish flu pandemic resulted in a higher than expected mortality rate for young adults.[4] Scientists offer several possible explanations for the high mortality rate of the 1918 influenza pandemic. Some analyses have shown the virus to be particularly deadly because it triggers a cytokine storm, which ravages the stronger immune system of young adults.[5] In contrast, a 2007 analysis of medical journals from the period of the pandemic found that the viral infection was no more aggressive than previous influenza strains.[6][7] Instead, malnourishment, overcrowded medical camps and hospitals, and poor hygiene promoted secondary bacterial infection. These infections killed most of the victims, typically after a somewhat prolonged death bed.[8][9] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pbvet007 (talk • contribs) " The ref tags are just before this section. I apologise, and will do it correctly next time I add to a Talk page… I hope! P.S. I wanted to fix my mistake, so I tried to go back to the original revision on April 24 using Page History, but it only displayed my recent revision, in green, and not the section as it was originally inserted. That seems odd for a revision history page. I hope there is a backup of the original page. David Deardavid7 (talk) 01:17, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

ArbCom 2020 Elections voter messageRequested edit to Salma HayekHello! I saw you edited the Salma Hayek page last. I cannot edited it since I am not verified. I have a video that proves that Salma acquired the Lebanese citizenship through her father in the Lebanese Embassy of Mexico in 2009. The video is in Arabic, but it shows that her grandfather, who emigrated from Lebanon, registered her son, Salma's father in the embassy, and then Salma registered herself and acquired the citizenship later in 2009. Her family is entirely registered in the village of Baabdat in Mount Lebanon, including her brother. Therefore she is also Lebanese. Here's the link: https://youtube/KQS4YJe6IrI The research was done when she came to Lebanon in 2015 to promote her movie The Prophet. Please do the necessary changes to the page :D Thanks a lot! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.97.92.117 (talk) 14:39, 24 November 2020 (UTC) Tech News: 2020-49A cookie for you!

Thank you for your welcome message!I just wanted to say thank you for your message welcoming to me Wikipedia. I've been making edits for several years, but typically they are infrequent and quite minor. I don't expect that trend will change drastically in the near future, but I will be sure to give the resources you shared with me a look. Thank you for reaching out!

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 03:47, 8 December 2020 (UTC) Airbnb/AimcoHi Graywalls, thanks for your comments - I've been more active on the German Wikipedia (see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Beiträge/Hattifnatt~dewiki), and to be honest, the technicalities of Wikipedia habe grown over my head a bit in the last years ;) but I still try to contribute when I see reason for it. In this case the mention of Aimco seemed to me like a thinly veiled attempt at self-promotion or even self-advocacy (with unclear grammar), so more a COI on their part, after they apparently even lost the case in court if I correctly understood the referenced page https://www.courthousenews.com/airbnb-ducks-apartment-managers-beef-over-rentals/. I haven't been able to locate the crucial change, but the version from 21 Nov 2018 had a more balanced account in the section "2018 legal action". Edit: Found it, after the reference to Aimco and the legal case had been removed by this change: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Airbnb&diff=next&oldid=893527008 it was re-introduced (with worse grammar and a bias for Aimco) in this edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Airbnb&diff=prev&oldid=988930279 Best regards, Stefan Hattifnatt~dewiki (talk) 17:28, 12 December 2020 (UTC) Tech News: 2020-51December 16: ONLINE WikiWednesday Salon NYC
