Holyoke


Hi, Ixat! I've been filling in Sherman Bowles background at Holyoke Publishing ↗, after having found his ''New York Times'' obit and other NYT articles. I haven't otherwise stopped by the article for a while, and missed you June note about the upcoming volume of the reference work you've contributed to. I'm looking forward to it.

I would love to use the Bip Comics (BIP Comics?) site with what seems like its wealth of indicia information. The issue I keep running into is that it's an anonymous site. Do you have any information about it? It seems to be primarily a comic-book sales site, and I can't find the names of any individuals anywhere on it. Alternatively, I'm going to try to find its Holyoke indicia information elsewhere. Let me know what you think of my Bowles addition and an Bip info you may have. With regards, Tenebrae (talk) 00:34, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

:Apparently it's a guy called "gifflefunk" ! http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2640552 ↗.   : )   --Tenebrae (talk) 00:43, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

::Yup, that's him. Real name Nick Pope (which you can find with sufficiently persistent googling of various forum threads), but as far as I can tell he always goes by gifflefunk online, and we credit him under that name or both names at the GCD. Ixat totep (talk) 01:06, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

:::Oy! God save us from "cute" internet handles!

:::Is there any way you could convince him to add his name as "editor," say of the Bip Comics site, or at least of that insignia / indicia page? If his name is on it, and he's a regular GCD contributor, then we'd be allowed to cite Bip. It would mean a great deal to WikiProject Comics to be able to use that information. --Tenebrae (talk) 01:13, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Integral movement



Hello. I see that you have retargeted redirect Integral movement ↗ to disambiguation page Integral theory ↗. Please can you help to mend ↗ the resulting bad wikilinks, especially the one in Template:Integral theory ↗ which should fix several articles with one edit? Thanks, Certes (talk) 21:23, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

:{{ping|Certes}} I suppose it depends on where you think this should go. My intention was that any page that referenced Integral movement should land on the general Integral theory page (and not the Ken Wilber-specific one). What behavior do you expect? I did try to change some links that really should go to the Wilber-specific page to go directly there, so if you have specific ones in mind to change (other than the template) please let me know.

:There are several more or less independent lines of thought called "integral" of which Wilber's is only one. So if you think that (for example) the California Institute of Integral Studies is part of the "Integral movement", then the way things are now is correct- unless it is specific to Wilber, it should go to the general page (CIIS is not affiliated with Wilber and pre-dates his work). On the other hand, if you think "integral movement" should '''''only''''' refer to Wilber's work, then I should just change the redirect back (and maybe put a "see also" on Wilber's page in case someone looking for other integral stuff lands there, which I should probably do anyway).

:Template:Integral theory ↗ is only used on one tenuously related page, and most of the former pages it lists have been merged into Integral theory (Ken Wilber) ↗, so my inclination is to nominate it for deletion. Ixat totep (talk) 23:39, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
::I'm not a subject specialist and don't have an informed view on the exact scope of either term. My concern is that these links should lead to an article rather than a disambiguation page, which is essentially a list of things the term might have meant. One possibility is that integral theory as a whole is a topic on which a broad-concept article ↗ could be written, but I lack the expertise to do that or even to know whether it would be appropriate. Certes (talk) 09:39, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

:::{{ping|Certes}}I'm not s subject specialist on Integral either- I bump into it because of related topics only. I redirected Integral movement ↗ to List of integral thinkers and supporters ↗ as that seemed the best available page. Feel free to change it further, I have no interest in unraveling who claims to be in or out of the "Integral movement" vs any other interpretation of "Integral". Ixat totep (talk) 18:43, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
::::Thank you. That list seems to be about Wilber's followers rather than László's, but it may still be the best target. Certes (talk) 21:45, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
:::::You're welcome- sorry for the delay! Since it was redirecting to Wilber's Integral page before I changed it I went with the Wilber-ish list page. I'm afraid I just don't know enough about László to find anything specific to him. The mention of "Integral theory" on his page is just a book title and a comparison to Wilber, so not much to go on. If there was an Integral movement page centered around László it was deleted long before I touched any of this. A broad concept article on Integral would be great, I just don't know who both can and would write one. Ixat totep (talk) 22:07, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello there



I’ve seen all your edits on prehistoric deuterostomes, and so I’d like to invite you to a Discord server focused on invertebrates. Of course, I need to know whether you even ''have'' a Discord account in the first place. IC1101-Capinatator (talk) 12:41, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

Heteromorphus



You reverted my edit as it says it is a different species but as shown in the body of the text it is currently considered a synonym of a different one. <em><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #000000;">Houcaris\Zhenghecaris</span>|<span style ="font-weight: bold; color: #000000;">Talk</span></em> 21:24, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

:As I explained in the reversion message, the problem is you did not make it consistent or explain your rationale. So I took the time and went through to figure it out (it is not entirely clear whether they are truly synonyms, sorting it out will, as the text of the page notes, require more specimens) and updated things on both Wikimedia Commons and on the page, where I also updated the corresponding text about the type species. And I explained what I was doing in my edit comment. That made it all clear and consistent.
:I have seen you make several edits with no explanation and no citation. Don't do that, it's bad form, and such edits will often get reverted. If you change something, you need to support it. Put it in the change comment and/or update the citations. And don't try to fix one inconsistency by making something else (in this case the Wikimedia commons name and data on the image vs the caption) inconsistent.
:Ixat totep (talk) 22:23, 23 December 2025 (UTC)
::@Zhenghecaris in case you are curious about the "it's not entirely clear" part, I went back to the paper and verified that the concern is that the holotype of ''H. longicaudatus'' has some differences from the holotype of ''H. confusus'', which calls the synonomy into question. I made a further edit to clarify it. I think that also means that if they are not synonyms, ''H. longicaudatus'' remains the type species, with ''H. confusus'' being treated as having been re-assigned to the pre-existing genus ''Heteromorphus''. BTW, the whole thing is a confusing mess, and if you're able to translate anything from the Chinese-only sources to help make sense of it, that would be most appreciated. I can't even get access to most of those.
::I don't want to discourage you from editing, I just want to encourage explaining and supporting your work, and digging a bit deeper!

Category sort keys



Hi. You reverted my correct edit ↗ on Crinoid ↗. I have restored it. As an explanation, using a space as the sortkey for a category puts the article at the top of the category. That's how we sort the main article for a category. See WP:SORTKEY ↗ for how sortkeys work. Mclay1 (talk) 22:29, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

:@Mclay1 thanks for explaining!
