== Murrough O'Brien, 1st Earl of Inchiquin == |
|||
Dear [[User:PBS|PBS]], Grandmaster Editor, 1st Class. Thank you for having created in July 2009 the article [[Murrough O'Brien, 1st Earl of Inchiquin]]. You built it up from the entry written by [[Richard Bagwell]] in the [[Dictionary of National Biography]], volume XLI, 1895, mostly by copying text over verbatim, acknowledging that origin by attribution, which of course is all fine and good practice. You also added citations that give that source but also the source from where Bagwell got it, e.g. "Bagwell, p.320. Cites: Carte ''Ormonde'' i 264". It must have been considerable work to find Bagwell's exact source. |
|||
I would like to add to your work by incorporating information from more recent sources such as ''A New History of Ireland'' (Moody et al., 1976), the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (2004), the Dictionary of Irish Biography (2009), and what else might be found. I think it is also considered better to paraphrase than to incorporate verbatim passages, even it attributed (I do not know where the guidelines say such a thing or perhaps they don't and I am wrong). Concerning your citations, I wonder what is right to do. It seems a bit unusual to say "Smith (1999) citing Miller (1888)". If a fact can be found in more than one source, which one should be cited, the oldest, the lates, the most renowned, the most accessible? Or should more than one be cited (all, the oldest and the latest?). I want to improve, not undo your work, with many thanks and best regards, [[User:Johannes Schade|Johannes Schade]] ([[User talk:Johannes Schade|talk]]) 07:59, 23 August 2022 (UTC) |

{{collapse top|Message from [[User_talk:PBS-AWB]]}} |

Your change on [[Edward Raban (printer)]] was a poor decision. You removed a template which added "This article incorporates text from this source, which is in the public domain" to two references, and added to both a template saying "One or more of the preceding sentences incorporates text from this source". Each of the references was used about 5 times in the body of the article. "One or more of the preceding sentences" is plain inaccurate for most of the uses of the reference. "This article incorporates text " is accurate for all uses of the reference. Further, your message preceded the reference, which is grossly suboptimal: users want to read the ref, not a (mainly inaccurate) RD incorporation notice. The notice should follow the reference, not precede it. I don't know what you thought you were doing, but your edits did degrade the article in two respects, did not do anything at all useful. Reverted. Please do not do that again. --[[User:Tagishsimon|Tagishsimon]] ([[User talk:Tagishsimon|talk]]) 17:32, 23 September 2022 (UTC) |

I don't know about the history of the template and what consensus there is regarding the closure of the TfD and whether it should be a redirect or a wrapper template, but since you removed the redirect, please also update the template documentation and restore the documentation in the template source, so that other editors coming upon it (e.g. after seeing your AWB edits) have an idea what it's supposed to do and how it should be used.

Wikipedia news
25 April 2024 |
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2024).
- Phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship review has concluded. The proposals for creating a discussion-only period on a trial basis (2), administrator elections on a trial basis (13), creating tenure requirements for candidates (25) and participants (14) have all passed outright, and will now proceed to the implementation phase. The proposals for creating a reminder of civility norms (2), administrator recall (16 and 16c), putting named administrators and bureaucrats on call (17), requiring links for claims of specific policy violations (9b), and creating a better mentoring system (24) have all passed, but will undergo further refinement in phase II before proceeding to implementation. Proposals that have passed outright, but on a trial basis, will be discussed at phase II after their trials have concluded.
- Partial action blocks are now in effect on the English Wikipedia. This means that administrators have the ability to restrict users from certain actions, including uploading files, moving pages and files, creating new pages, and sending thanks. T280531
- The arbitration case Conflict of interest management has been closed.
- This may be a good time to reach out to potential nominees to ask if they would consider an RfA.
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2024 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles in the new pages feed. Currently, there is a backlog of over 15,000 articles awaiting review. Sign up here to participate!
- Voting for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) election is open until 9 May 2024. Read the voting page on Meta-Wiki and cast your vote here!
