US governors
Howdy. I went through all the US state & territorial governors articles & list articles. It seems we've got inconsistencies. Some begin with "head of state and government", some with "head of government", some with "chief executive" etc. GoodDay (talk) 00:44, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
Update: I've gone ahead & brought them more in sync. GoodDay (talk) 17:24, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
Talk page edits
Pointing out when a article is biased and suggesting that it shouldn't is relevant to the article and a discussion related to improving it. Please accept that and stop putting notices on other peoples Talk page just because you didn't like it how they pointed out an obvious flaw in an article you are interested in. Nciiiiieedd (talk) 21:12, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Nciiiiieedd: Whatever Larry Sanger said is thoroughly irrelevant. I think that if you actually look at articles and discussions, you will find that many editors agree with your take
that the war is over and that the Taliban won
. If you have specific changes to an article to suggest based on that, you are welcome to do so. If you simply want to whine about bias, you will be thanked and excused from participating at Wikipedia. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 21:15, 18 August 2021 (UTC)- Then delete that one sentence with Larry Sanger and keep the rest that is relevant and about improving an article! Don't delete a whole edit because you don't like one sentence. Nciiiiieedd (talk) 21:33, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
- Nope. First, in general, it's against policy to make substantive changes to signed comments on talk pages; it is preferable to revert them in their entirety. Second, your entire comment was a rant that was inappropriate for the talk page, or indeed anywhere on Wikipedia. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 21:35, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
- There was no rant. Just because you don't like a fact, doesn't make it a rant. If you have a problem with a single sentence, then make a comment pointing out that it isn't neccessary, don't revert the whole Edit because of it. Nciiiiieedd (talk) 21:58, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

Name confusion
My apologies if this seems a bit random, but I was looking through WP:ANI and I saw you commented on something and I was a bit confused about your username since it's a non-latin character and I don't actually know what I would refer to you as in normal conversation. Your username appears to be either a Chinese or Japanese character as well. Not saying you should change it, just a bit confused.

Nice symbol for your username!

Extended comment re: the short name for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
For various theological and disambiguatory reasons, it is difficult to determine a short name for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (hereafter identified by the unlikely [but in context unambiguous] acronym CJCLS). The previous two most-common short-names, the "Mormon Church" and the "LDS Church", are both discouraged by CJCLS for theological reasons. The name "LDS Church" has issues with confusion regarding other churches in the Latter Day Saint movement which are not affiliated with CJCLS.
For a variety of reasons, the CJCLS is entitled to be identified as it desires to be identified, so long as it does not cause confusion in doing so. Currently, CJCLS appear to prefer "The Church of Jesus Christ" as a short name, which is hopelessly confusing. There are lots of churches which attest to being "of Jesus Christ", and this name does not identify their differences with other sects of Christianity in any useful way, nor is the name commonly identifiable.
In my own writing, I have suggested The Church (Salt Lake City) as an alternate name for CJCLS; however, as literally no other sources appear to be using that name, it is not an option for Wikipedia.
The Wikipedia Manual of Style is conservative; until some new name is in common use we will likely to continue to use old names. Not even a divine proclamation can over-ride site consensus unless and until there is consensus for a replacement; we operate by common consent here. While the process may be slow, in the long run, the arc of history bends towards justice. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 23:59, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
- There was another discussion on this opened at Wikipedia_talk:Manual of Style/Latter Day Saints#This manual still does not adequately reflect changes in 2018, just so you know. ––FormalDude talk 00:19, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Unclear message on my talk page.
Hello, you have left an unclear message on my talk page, could you please care to clarify? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:TataofTata&oldid=1040703314

Choosing not to bother to respond to the above is obviously your prerogative, but I believe it to be a bit rude. Now when you choose to remove the content about child soldiers and noting WP:UNDUE / guilt-by-association - you're obviously following my contributions, but have no regard to speak to me. It seems like you do not fully understand the matter hence why you think those points apply. First of all the United States is not a minority in this context, it is a main proponent on the world stage and their views carry weight. As the sources says Turkey has been added to a US list of countries implicated in the recruitment or use of child soldiers. I did provide sources that clarified this and tried to be neutral in explaining how they were listed. As for how the US department works out the list. ″Every country in this report is placed on one of four tiers, as mandated by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA). This placement is based not on the extent of a country's problem, but on the extent of government efforts to eliminate human trafficking.″ the resulting means ″States placed on this list are restricted from receiving certain types of security assistance and commercial licensing of military equipment.″' - https://www.rudaw.net/english/world/010720211
I have reversed the undo and if you feel to discuss further let me know. - May have been wrong to do.

- Hello @力:, I did not know maybe that I need to ping you, hence why you have not noticed.. I just wanted to point out that if you have any concerns with regards to the above addition I made, I have created a section on the talk page to discuss. TataofTata (talk) 16:02, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
- @TataofTata: - I gave the wrong template, it should have been {{Welcomenpov}}, not {{Uw-npov1}}. You clearly have a POV in the area and must be mindful of Wikipedia's policies. In particular, on Turkey, high-level articles should use WP:Summary style and not include sections about fairly minor details. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 20:24, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
- @力: - Thanks for the clarification as I said, I am mindful, however which article made you add that template? I am happy to go back and correct anything that is not neutral/accurate and or cite sources. If I am not mistaken this was before your issue with child soldiers addition I made and now that has been moved to the talk section for others to evaluate. - TataofTata (talk) 21:31, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
