Robert Gayre

That doesn't need a short description ↗. "Editors should keep in mind that short descriptions are meant to distinguish an article from similarly named articles in search results, and not to define the subject" and "All articles should have a short description (and therefore should belong to Category:Articles with short description), but some article titles are sufficiently detailed that an additional short description would not be helpful, e.g., Alpine skiing at the 1960 Winter Olympics – Men's downhill.
In those cases, {{Short description|none}} should be used to add the article to Category:Articles with short description. Occasionally, a default value of "none" may already be transcluded, for example in some Wikipedia list articles; that default should not normally need to be edited, but it can be overridden for a specific page by addingIn those cases, {{txl|Short description|none}} should be used to add the article to {{cl|Articles with short description}}. Occasionally, a default value of "none" may already be transcluded, for example in some Wikipedia list articles; that default should not normally need to be edited, but it can be overridden for a specific page by adding {{Short description|Overriding description}} at the at the top of the page." Hm, that last {{Short description|Overriding description} didn't show, so I removed a }.
He's also better known for the racist Mankind Quarterly ↗ and the falsification of his pedigree. Doug Weller talk 15:30, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

:@Doug Weller
:Does it mean I should intentionally leave Robert Gayre's short description blank? Even if short descriptions aren't supposed to define, they can at least help differeniate itself from other articles (such as similarly spelled articles like Robert Garrels)
:I might have edited it from the Wikipedia mobile app for adding short descriptions.
:I did not consider his work in my edit, so thanks for calling that out.
:RFNirmala (talk) 00:19, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
::Don't worry about that. I think short description none is best. Do you want to add that or should I? Doug Weller talk 07:06, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ilona Maher ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ABC News ↗. Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)

Dear RFNirmala, I'm much obliged to you for rewording and improving my text! Thank you very much for your help! Mémoiredumaquis (talk) 10:36, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

:@Mémoiredumaquis
:Thanks for the message! I wanted to know what does the "appointed titular bishop in partibus" phrase mean. I tried searching and ''partibus (infidelium)'' means “in the regions of the infidels”, but I'm not sure how to put it in the article. We can add some italics or a wikilink, but let's hope another editor can improve our article more.
:Again, you're welcome!
:RFNirmala (talk) 11:10, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
::"In-partibus" bishoprics were antique Catholic cities which were lost at the time of the crusades. During the Middle Ages, an "in-partibus" title meant that the bishop in question was in charge of a bishopric which was yet to be re-conquered. In practice, it soon became a means for the Pope to ensure his protégés an honorary prelacy and a suitable prebend. Those "in-partibus" bishoprics were distributed after the Second World War to dismissed Nazis prelates to whom the Pope wanted to leave an episcopal title and a large prebend. I don't think there's a wikilink for that, but I'll look it up, thanks! :) Mémoiredumaquis (talk) 15:32, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Short description

Hi @RFNirmala, I see that you just reverted my change of the short description of Vol Europa. My goal was to link the description to Wikidata. Could you expand on the reversal? Thanks! Julius Schwarz (talk) 14:03, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

:I found a way to capitalise the first letter of the Wikidata string. So I reverted your edit and added the missing bit. Advice for next time: be mindful of brackets; you had left two trailing after your deletion. Best, Julius Schwarz (talk) 15:23, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
::Oh, I used shortdesc helper for editing the short description, which caused the problem. I apologize, will take note of it. But thanks for pointing it out! Will try to raise this feedback concern. RFNirmala (talk) 00:54, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
:::No worries -- it led me to check the rules on capitalisation and that led me to magicword which solved that issue :) Julius Schwarz (talk) 10:52, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

: FYI, I have reverted most/all? of the recent SD changes by JS. Using the short description helper is most certainly the best way to do these edits — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 15:25, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
::Except your way messed up a crazy number of pages in the process and you did not even show the courtesy to correct what you had done. Do not use that again so carelessly, as this was a major waste of time. You want to change the descriptions? Fine, but stick to that and do not use reverts.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Metropolitan Museum of Manila in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, Philippines (Dec14,2024).jpg

64px|left|alt=|link= ↗
Thank you for uploading ''':File:Metropolitan Museum of Manila in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, Philippines (Dec14,2024).jpg ↗'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content ↗. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline ↗ is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag ↗; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page ↗. Thank you.

This is an automated notification. Please refer to the page's history ↗ for further information. DatBot (talk) 00:33, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

With your help, the WikiProject's top 5000 list of short descriptions has been cleared for November 2025, an especially huge milestone when the list used to "only" be 3000 articles per month! Well done. Your work has made Wikipedia better :-). LR.127 (talk) 19:07, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

:Should be 10 months, haven't kept track. The list size increase was also really helpful, and seems nicer than a more frequent list renew. But hey, I just love gnoming my wiki with my phone. RFNirmala (talk) 02:04, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

Thank you today for locating sources for Bridge ↗, - a broad topic, in team work! My father loved bridges, and I wrote a few articles with that in mind (Empress Elisabeth Bridge ↗, adding to Chain bridge ↗ and Müngsten Bridge ↗, the latter for childhood memory), and also thinking of bridges between people. - I brought two bios to the same page ↗, Christian Schwarz-Schilling ↗ and Bill Ramsey ↗ whose regular ''Swingtime'' I used to hear in the car driving to choir rehearsals. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:31, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
