Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act



Hello Schazjmd, thank you for deleting the duplicated section about Greenland. Did you read the Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act ↗? It is not restricted to "cash transaction", so could you please change the wording acoording to the bill? Thank you! L.T.Mido (talk) 17:07, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

The Hollies (band)



Hello Schazjmd, apologies if my edits were harmful. I had them as British-American because Graham Nash is American. Darth RMB (talk) 12:47, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
:Welcome, @Darth RMB. We rely on how sources describe the band, not our own interpretations. Also, Nash was born in the UK; he visited the US on a Hollies tour and then later moved there, but wasn't an American when he was in the Hollies. <span style="color:#066293;">'''Schazjmd'''</span>&nbsp;<span style="color:#738276;">''(talk)''</span> 13:33, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to :Lita Ford ↗ when you modified the page, you introduced {{cl|Unknown parameters|unknown parameters}}. Just because you specify {{para|some_param|{{var|some_variable}}}} does not always mean that variable will display. The {{para|some_param}} must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview ↗ button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a '''Show preview''' button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history ↗ of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk ↗ for assistance.

Quick revert? (¿ 69 minutes?)



Is not ''the Satires'' addressing the extreme excesses of the corrupt 1c AD Roman aristocracy?

It is ''Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? ↗'' not really about virtue ↗ and how not to do it?

And is that not basic philosophy (me/ thou/you/them)? Maybe a little less emotion and a touch more consideration? We do want to give readers a little help to explore allied articles, do we not not?

Perhaps you might like to add a better ==philosophy== to complete this unfinished article yorself? Timpo (talk) 17:09, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

::Thank you for bringing to my attention The miller, his son and the donkey ↗! This tale illustrates the distinction between truth ↗ (what is believed to be correct) and fact ↗ what is verifiably ↗ correct as well as the distinction between morality ↗ (emotional personal opinion) and ethics ↗ (conduct rationally deemed acceptable within a collective). It explains why democracy, social media and indeed Wikipedia is in danger from the likes of Anti-vaccine activism ↗ truth versus medically demonstrable (and thus rational) Scientific consensus ↗, or indeed the growing preference for authoritarianism ↗ (playing the "blame game" and "papa knows best") rather than accepting personal responsibility for making democracy work in our daily lives. Being true to one's self perhaps requires that ethics imposes on children a cultural corset on personal morality first? - Freedom implies submission.

Revdel ranges



Thanks for catching the copyvios. I just wanted to point out that the range of revisions in the revdel request should not include the revision where the copyvio was reverted as teh copyvio material is no longer present in that version. Not a big deal as its easy to spot when I'm reviewing the revisions, but I thought I'd let you know. Cheers. -- Whpq (talk) 14:45, 4 March 2026 (UTC)
:Thanks for cleaning those up, @Whpq. Question: the "Request CV revdel" tool forces a selection of two diffs. I've been selecting the diff in which the copyvio edit was made and the diff in which it was reverted. Should I instead select the diff prior to the violation and then the diff in which it was made for the range? I want to do whatever's most helpful for you and the other admins. <span style="color:#066293;">'''Schazjmd'''</span>&nbsp;<span style="color:#738276;">''(talk)''</span> 14:53, 4 March 2026 (UTC)
::Duh, I just checked the documentation and it says {{tq|You can uncheck the "Range?" checkbox to indicate that just the single revision in the "Start" column will be tagged for revdel, not the whole range from "Start" to "End".}} I'll start doing that going forward. <span style="color:#066293;">'''Schazjmd'''</span>&nbsp;<span style="color:#738276;">''(talk)''</span> 14:55, 4 March 2026 (UTC)
::Yes to the latter. The revision where you reverted no longer has a copyvio, so it should not be included in the revdel. -- Whpq (talk) 14:55, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

IMDB Reliability



Apologies if this sounds contentious, but why is IMDB not considered to be a reliable source? It’s linked on basically every television and movie related page under external links, and I’ve even seen pages using IMDB as a source. - coolgurl5555 🩷 (talk ↗)(sign ↗) (she/her) 23:23, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

C.W. Kim draft in Afc



Will you also convert my basic citations to the San Diego Union/Tribune articles to url's also? I need help because I do not have access to the wiki news library and the reviewer wants them converted. I used multiple references for the same point because I did not know which ones would be able to be converted into url's and which one's would be considered sufficient. The ones that cannot be converted are likely to be the ones that I remove. Thank you for all of your help. Drafter. Emanresu0 (talk) 19:35, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
:@Emanresu0, the most critical sources (the ones that the bulk of the article rely upon) are (1) goldsea.com, (2) Spaulding in the ''San Diego Evening Tribune'', (3) Showley in ''the San Diego Union'', (4) Biberman in ''San Diego Daily Transcript'', and (5) Novarro in ''Asia, Inc.''.

::Many thanks for trying. Can you insert the url for the other LA Times article and the New York Times article. I believe they are still reference #'s 8 and 9. That would save me the expense of going through the pay wall. Appreciatively, Drafter. Emanresu0 (talk) 03:38, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

::::Many thanks and allow me to clarify: You mean I just type the article title into my Google chrome browser? I thought the articles from this era were behind paywalls if they even existed in digitized form, but I did not try LA Times or New York Times, only the San Diego papers and the Asian magazines.
::::Do you know whether the Wiki news library has the San Diego Union or Tribune, San Diego Daily Transcript, or the Asia Inc articles, since I cannot get to them with a simple google Chrome search. The Union/Tribune is all behind paywall, the Daily Transcript doesn't exist, and I can't find the Asia Inc articles from this era. I ask because the reviewer wants me to insert the paywall url's to make it easier for cite checking, but if the wiki news library does not have access to the San Diego Union, I think that effort and expense would be a waste.
::::Also, do you know whether there is a way to upload pdf files of the articles for reviewer site checking when the url's are not available without paywall to get beyond this hurdle?
::::Thanks Emanresu0 (talk) 16:08, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::@Emanresu0, yes, you just search on the article title using your browser.

::::Also, I just tried your links. Paywalls come up on the LA Times and NY Times cites, although the LA Times cite allowed me to scroll through the article with the paywall there. The NY Times did not. And, for some reason the second LA Times article is no longer in the references. It was #9. And, what was #16 is no longer there and has an "error" code now. I didn't create these issues and could use help fixing them if you can help. Thanks again. Emanresu0 (talk) 16:20, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
::::And, the second time I tried to read an LA Times article by typing the title of the article into my browser and getting a hit, the paywall came up and I could not see the text of the article at all. So, using those url's are not going to work unless wiki has access somehow that get the reviewers beyond the paywall. Do you or do they? Emanresu0 (talk) 16:25, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Locus Award categories



Hi, I want to thank you for your small fix on Locus magazine article. I wanted to ask you about similar thing, but it depends on if you are interested or not, and on your judgement. It is about Locus Award categories, like Best Horror Novel and others. On those categories, I found that the tables are, in my view, not well made or untidy. There are two major issues; the first one is about that in the "Winners" section there are multiple wikilinks for various writers, but most of them are duplicates. I wanted to apply MOS:DUPLINK rule as I think that only one link is enough, while others should be removed. This also applies to other links within references in the same section, for example "Shelf Awareness". There is my quote: "Removing several duplicate links per MOS:DUPLINK and other fixes". Then a quote from the user Michelangelo1992:
"Disagree; per MOS:DUPLINK they can be included if helpful, including tables which are specifically listed as an exception". This are both from "Best Science Fiction Novel". A similar quote is from "Best Fantasy Novel" on his side: "Per MOS:DUPLINK, tables are an exception". I am not agreedable with this and is probably apparent violation from him. I think that most users apply to this rule when deleting duplicate wikilinks in one section if there is some redundancy. Another issue is about one thing that I initially did not know what a thing was, but now I know. It is about "sort tag" that was put in the tables. I thought that this addition made a section cluttered and untidy, and thus I tried to remove it. There is one part of my quote from "Best Fantasy Novel": "The page looked somewhat cluttered and a bit incomprehensible". The user Michelangelo1992 either did not know or he knew but ignored it. That "sort tag", as far as I know, was never put in some table for some other topics, like films, TV shows, video games, etc. and it seems that it does not exist this rule. Also I put an explanation in the edit summary, but only if there are some tricky problems that have to be resolved. If I put a simple solution, then I don't have to always explain in the summary, like simple grammar fixes. If you are interested, can you go to those pages, bring a judgement and reply to my question. If you think there were no signs of disruptive behavior and possible edit warring from that user, then I will retreat and not touch those articles.
~2026-72976-5 ↗ (talk) 18:32, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
:Hi, @~2026-72976-5, and welcome.{{pb}}It's true that MOS:DUPLINK ↗ allows additional wikilinks in (for example) tables. I think the reasoning there is that readers generally don't read through a table like they do narrative prose. They may be looking for a specific year or award or recipient, or whatever, but especially with long tables, it can be an impediment to have to search for an earlier entry of a name to get the link or type it in search yourself. So I don't think there's any harm done by providing readers with links to writer names each time they are listed in a table.{{pb}}I wish I could help you with sort, but I only have the most basic table skills in wikitext, sorry. Editors at WP:TEAHOUSE ↗ will probably have better insight. Hope that helps! <span style="color:#066293;">'''Schazjmd'''</span>&nbsp;<span style="color:#738276;">''(talk)''</span> 16:46, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
::For the tables… then fine, but outside of tables that is another story I think. Very well then, I will respect a decision despite not entirely agreeing with this. As for editors at WP:TEAHOUSE, I will try, but if I do it, maybe I will get the same reply from them. Anyway, thanks.
::~2026-72976-5 ↗ (talk) 19:03, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
:::Right, @~2026-72976-5, I only meant in tables. In body text, just one wikilink per section is enough.

Minor change in Agatha Christie article



I may not be familiar with all standards, but I can't really see why my change in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Agatha_Christie&oldid=1349899799 was, according to you, unsubstantiated by sources. I quoted the book I referred to, after all. Does a book only exist, once it is mentioned by a third party? Sounds absurd to me, but I could easily go on quoting German reviews of the book (they are gathered here: https://www.perlentaucher.de/buch/mithu-m-sanyal/antichristie.html; there is also a German wikipedia entry on the book: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antichristie) but that seemed to me to go a bit too far.
I'm not going to engage in an edit war, but what, pray, is the problem with mentioning a novel called "Antichristie" in the 'In popular culture' section of the article on Agatha Christie? Kaosmonaut (talk) 13:54, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
:Hi and welcome, @Kaosmonaut. Generally, for "in popular culture" style information, there should be an independent source that supports its inclusion.

Question from LillaRis87 (18:23, 1 June 2026)

Why did you remove the legacy section



The novel is the earliest known example of an Alien invasion story. My sources for the tropes it established are from the text itself. Anthony745508 (talk) 21:12, 14 June 2026 (UTC)
:@Anthony745508, I did not remove the section, just unsourced claims. Analysis like that must be cited to an independent reliable source, not an editor's interpretation. <span style="color:#066293;">'''Schazjmd'''</span>&nbsp;<span style="color:#738276;">''(talk)''</span> 21:24, 14 June 2026 (UTC)

Ok let me explain myself.



Alien infiltration theme: Aliens (usually shape shifters) start a secret invasion of Earth to take it over. The aliens in The Germ Growers take the form of humans in order to fit into society and secretly create diseases to wipe humanity out.

Thus it’s the earliest known example of the Alien infiltration trope.

As for the Cloaking device, they arrived to earth in invisible spaceships.

Thus this is the earliest known example of a cloaking device in science fiction.

Not only are they sources in the plot summary but a link to the novel itself. In which said tropes play out. You can read the whole thing in order to make sure for certain. Anthony745508 (talk) 21:46, 14 June 2026 (UTC)
:To be accurate, the article would have to read {{tq|A Wikipedia editor claims that it is the earliest known example of a cloaking device in science fiction.

::That’s fair. It’s safe to safe to that it’s the earliest example of the trope of Alien infiltration. But I should just remove the cloaking device claim unless I can’t find earlier sci-fi stories that feature it. Anthony745508 (talk) 22:39, 14 June 2026 (UTC)
:::That same rewrite applies to "earliest known example of the theme of Alien infiltration". ''You'' not being able to find something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

::::It’s very likely the earliest alien invasion story period. Yes there were prototypes predating it. I actually pointed them out in the origins section of the Alien Invasion article. Most of the sources also state it’s the earliest known. Key word, earliest known. The Germ Growers is super obscure, if any other stories that tell of Aliens Invading, not in the sense of a thought experiment like the prototypes, fully fledged stories. Then it is completely unknown. Thus The Germ Growers is the earliest and quite possibly the first alien invasion story. They probably wasn’t any uses of the Alien infiltration trope because they weren’t any alien invasion stories. Trying to say something is the "first” especially for things before the 20th century, is very to say for certain. Like some people say the first was 1888’s Roundhay Garden Scene or others say 1878’s The Horse in Motion. That is what I mean by "the earliest known” there isn’t to my knowledge or the general surface web’s of any fully fledged alien invasion stories pre 1892.

The dates.



The Germ Growers was released in August 1892. Two Planets in October 1897. And The War of the Worlds was released on January 19th, 1898. There are sources for the release dates on each said article about said novel. The Germ Growers is very obscure, even among Australian scholars. While Two Planets is only well known in Germany. Up until late 2025, which when this article was created. If you were to look up the 1st Alien Invasion story, it always said that it was The War of the Worlds. It’s safe to say even there isn’t a direct source for this claim. That The War of the Worlds overshadowed The Germ Growers. Anthony745508 (talk) 21:51, 14 June 2026 (UTC)

You're invited to the Mentorship noticeboard



Hi, Schazjmd. I can't quite make out if you are still a mentor or not, but maybe you will still be interested in the brand new Wikipedia:Mentorship noticeboard ↗. I think as mentors we have a lot to learn from each other, and I look forward to having the opportunity to interact with you and other mentors there, and hearing your feedback. Please take the {{slink|WP:Mentorship noticeboard|Survey|nopage=yes}} when you get there! Mathglot (talk) 00:57, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
:Thanks for the invitation, @Mathglot, that noticeboard looks like a helpful resource for mentors. I'll keep it in mind for when I become active as a mentor again. <span style="color:#066293;">'''Schazjmd'''</span>&nbsp;<span style="color:#738276;">''(talk)''</span> 13:12, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

Intentional reverting of the Norwegian women's football team by another user



Hi, I know that you are not into this topic about the sport, but can you go to the page about Norwegian women's football team? The main reason is that the "History" section about the team, was, I think, made and written in a bad quality. This included several issues, from grammar mistakes, redundant duplicate links from several teams (it must be per MOS:DUPLINK), and even that the text was made in a fandom like writing; I tried to concise into a logical, cohesive whole, while also throwing out redundant details, putting the right links for some Euros, and fix an incorrect fact about 1991 World Cup, as Norway lost in the final against USA, not semifinals, as well other issues. You can check the history of the editing and see that there are several issues here. All of this was reverted by the user named Rklingmann. I even wrote the edit summary about those issues, but this user obviusly knew my summary and intentionally ignored it. Perhaps it should be reported to some administrator for this problem as it was caused by him, not me, as it was not a vandalism.
