You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:
This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.85.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026. Your current IP address is 3.85.128.40.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The [[Wikipedia talk:Arbitration/Requests/Archive 11#Let's stop group names|calling of group names]] gave way to using just my name as the source of all that evil. I had happy real life to do all summer long until last week and would not even have had the time to concoct and run a conspiracy, and I had no time for defense. Strange war that is.

==Disambiguation link notification for January 10==

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[No. 4 Elementary Flying Training School RAAF]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Tamworth]]. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small>

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these [[User:DPL bot|opt-out instructions]]. Thanks, [[User:DPL bot|DPL bot]] ([[User talk:DPL bot|talk]]) 09:12, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

== 1969 and 1973 versions of Space Oddity ==

Give me your contact details and I will send you the 1969 and 1973 versions of Space Oddity. What you are doing is crazy because the 1969 version is from Bowie's first album and doesn't sound anything like the 1973 version that today would be known as a remix. If you cannot provide contact details then buy the album "Space Oddity". In fact, I think that both versions 1969 and 1973 were released on one of the Bowie compilation albums. But your removing that information is crazy. [[User:Dickie birdie|Dickie birdie]] ([[User talk:Dickie birdie|talk]]) 01:48, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

:I looked for a written reference in Google books and it does not exist in print. When the 1973 version was released it was never promoted as a re-recording because I was collecting Bowie's singles during the 1970s in my mid-20s. I only found out about it when I bought the album "Space Oddity". What are you going to do --- remove the information again because it does not appear anywhere in print and mislead people? [[User:Dickie birdie|Dickie birdie]] ([[User talk:Dickie birdie|talk]]) 01:51, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

== Space Oddity Original Version - From Amazon ==

The original version can be bought and downloaded from Amazon, here [
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WLNVO4?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0]. The 1969 version is 3:46 long. The 1973 re-recorded version is 5:14 long. [[User:Dickie birdie|Dickie birdie]] ([[User talk:Dickie birdie|talk]]) 02:09, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
:Dickie, it looks to me like you condemn yourself out of your own mouth -- the track available from Amazon appears to be a demo version of the song recorded for the ''Love You Til Tuesday'' film, not the original single release from 1969 produced by Gus Dudgeon, which also appeared on the 1969 ''David Bowie'' album and was reissued in 1973 and 1975. This is precisely why WP works by [[WP:RS|reliable sources]], not anecdotal information. As well as ignoring that guideline, you've also failed to observe [[WP:BRD|BRD]], whereby you should Discuss after your Bold edit has been Reverted, not simply keep adding the same material over again. Cheers, [[User:Ian Rose|Ian Rose]] ([[User talk:Ian Rose#top|talk]]) 02:37, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

::Yes, I agree, I made a mistake. But see message below, I have clarified what caused the confusion. [[User:Dickie birdie|Dickie birdie]] ([[User talk:Dickie birdie|talk]]) 03:16, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

== Space Oddity - Solved ==

I have corrected the article after checking the David Bowie material uploaded on YouTube that gave the following:

1969 promotional film [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D67kmFzSh_o]] and David Bowie - Space Oddity (Full Album 1969)
[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiLRsVPHUPU]]. Again, need to listen exclusively to the songs because what exists in print does not clarify the fact that these are 2 different songs. [[User:Dickie birdie|Dickie birdie]] ([[User talk:Dickie birdie|talk]]) 03:14, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

::Also, the song was re-released at different times during the 1970s in different countries. Full details are given here. [[

==FAC nominations==

Hi Ian, I hope all is well, and a slightly belated happy new year to you. I've just posted this on Graham's page, but seen he is on a Wikibreak. As you will probably have seen, Tim riley and I have co-nominated [[Albert Ketèlbey‎]] at FAC: although only five days old, it has five supports and one set of open comments which (I think) we've dealt with fully. I also have [[Isabella Beeton]] ready to go into the FAC process as a sole nominator. Are you happy if I nominate Beeton now, or would you rather I leave it for a little longer to see if any other large blocks of comment and criticism come along? There is no rush on putting Beeton up for FAC and I'm entirely happy to be guided by your thoughts on this. Cheers – [[User:SchroCat|SchroCat]] ([[User talk:SchroCat|talk]]) 11:48, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
:HNY to you too Gav -- based on past performance and the current comments I doubt they'll be any issue with Ketelbey, but perhaps if we leave a new nomination till I clear a few around the end of the week since the list is on the long side right now? Cheers, [[User:Ian Rose|Ian Rose]] ([[User talk:Ian Rose#top|talk]]) 13:07, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
::Hi Ian, Not a problem at all - I'll give Beeton another couple of read throughs and a ce in the meantime to lessen the pain of the FAC! Cheers - [[User:SchroCat|SchroCat]] ([[User talk:SchroCat|talk]]) 13:18, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

== ANZAC ==

So, I've found what's apparently quite an iconic photo in New Zealand of the [[Maori Battalion]]. Thinking it would be a good ANZAC day FP, if I get it done in time, and that'd probably be different enough to get an Australian FA in the article list. Sound good? <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.118em 0.118em 0.118em; class=texhtml">'''[[User:Adam Cuerden|Adam Cuerden]]''' <sup>([[User talk:Adam Cuerden|talk]])</sup></span> 13:12, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
:Sounds very good! Cheers, [[User:Ian Rose|Ian Rose]] ([[User talk:Ian Rose#top|talk]]) 07:45, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

==[[David Bowie]]==
If in arguing against BOLD you would "suggest discussion/consensus before any further change" then, by all means, [[Talk:David Bowie#Lead image|jump right in]]. The "accepted for quite some time" image sucks even harder. {{p|grin}} &#128406;[[User:ATinySliver|<span style="font-family:times;font-size:110%;color:#083884;text-shadow:1px 1px 1px">ATinySliver</span>]]/[[User talk:ATinySliver|<span style="font-family:times;color:#373;text-shadow:1px 1px 1px"><sup>ATalkPage</sup></span>]] 03:31, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
:Well obviously I disagree with that last sentiment but I welcome further discussion on it and have now found time to have my say at the talk page... :-) Cheers, [[User:Ian Rose|Ian Rose]] ([[User talk:Ian Rose#top|talk]]) 07:44, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

My edit changes the assertion that people "have forgotten how to reproduce".People CANNOT forget how to reproduce. What has been lost in the post-apocalypse is the (as I stated) the notion of courtship. The ravers are watching romantic films, not pornography, with naive ideas of awkwardly shrugging, putting one's arms around someone, turning off lights, uncertainty, and love. Please revert.

You might need to clean it up a little, but the FPs are done. 

The only note is that I've presumed "Your Motherland Will Never Forget" will pass - It has five supports (a quorum) and no opposes, so it's almost certainly going to. There's nothing else that can pass in time to matter for January.  <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.118em 0.118em 0.118em; class=texhtml">'''[[User:Adam Cuerden|Adam Cuerden]]''' <sup>([[User talk:Adam Cuerden|talk]])</sup></span> 18:19, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

== Some advice on FAC ==

Hey mate. I've began restoring "[[All I Want for Christmas Is You]]" to its former GA quality, and have been expanding it further to possibly nominate. I have only one concern, which is if you look at the bottom of the article, there's a long list section of celebrities, singers etc. that have covered the song over the years (live and on record). Mind you when I wrote this thing over 6 years ago, it was written out in text in a few paragraphs like "During a 1998 holiday appearance on TODAY, [[Shania Twain]] sang an acoustic version. the song was included on ""s" album in 2002" etc. it's repetitive and is gonna be a stumbling block either way. The list is pretty long lol. How do you suggest I present that section to the FAC process? Cheers bro. Ps. Maybe create a new article list page and expand on all the covers and be able to alleviate that messy burden off the main article--[[User:Petergriffin9901|<span style="color:black; font-family:Lucida Calligraphy;">'''Peter'''</span><span style="color:purple; font-family:Lucida Calligraphy;">'''''Griffin'''''</span>]]  &bull; [[User talk:Petergriffin9901|<span style="font-family:Garamond;">Talk2Me</span>]]  19:15, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
:Hi Peter, I'm afraid I'm not up on the preferred layout for covers lists (FAC would usually defer to the song project's standards for such things, or you could check some recently promoted song FAs) but at the very least it passes the test of everything being cited (though I haven't checked the reliability of the sources). One thing on a quick scan of the article, I couldn't see a review/rating table, which seems to be standard for song and album articles, usually in the Critical Reception section from memory.

== [[User:Krish!|User:Prashant/Krish!]] ==

You, {{u|Cassianto}} and {{u|SchroCat}} may remember this editor from the Indian FACs such as [[Priyanka Chopra]] and her filmography I think and remember that he behaved extremely childishly and demonstrated basically that he didn't have the mentality for FAC or wikipedia in general. Years down the line, he continues to display absolutely no indication that he's growing up, and still acts the same way. Again his edit warring with {{u|Krimuk90}} has resulted in Krimuk requesting an indefinite block for himself in frustration. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Kailash29792&oldid=prev&diff=704894275 This comment] too in which he calls my fair attempt to mediate the situation at [[Talk:Shahid Kapoor]] "an outburst", blaming me for it all basically, which I also find most infuritating. What should we do about him? IMO he's demonstrated on enough occasions that he lacks the maturity to edit here and frequently clashes with other editors. I don't know what he's been contributing of late but overall to me it seems he's outstayed his welcome here as time and time again he demonstrates that he just can't discuss things maturely and interact with people. As you might remember he takes the smallest things personally, such as failing to respond to a review request within 48 hours. I've really had enough of him, and however much I think {{u|Krimuk90}} overreacted with him, I do understand how ''infuriating'' this Prashant can really be. Do we think his overall contribution to the project is more valuable than his frequent clashes with people?♦ [[User:Dr. Blofeld|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#aba67e">''Dr. Blofeld''</span>]] 13:42, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
:Prashant, should be blocked for a substantial amount of time until he learns how to behave in a mature way. I've never liked him, and have found him to be more of a hindrance to the project than an asset. Unfortunately, he is not the only one; Caden, who some of you will know for being my number 1 troll, echoes many of the hallmarks that Prashant possesses.  And Caden has been allowed to pray continue for months now.

::Ah yes, Caden. The commenting ''against'' in discussions for the sake of it, whether or not he really cares about the issue or not.

What I meant to say to Kailash (he was calling me a lunatic, Vensatry warned him not to) that whatever Krimuk dis was not my fault but Krimuk's own fault. Dr. Blofeld started the discussion and everything was going smooth (me and you had discussed the need of that claim in two separate relies), until his outburts (Krimuk's): "I'm not interested in editing this article anymore. I'm sure Mr. Krish can do a much better job at this than a fucking retard like me! Good luck.". I never meant for you. Why I would in first place because you and I had a smooth discussion.

== Grammar question ==

Do you think some readers will take "In the [[Battle of Greece]], he became the only Australian general to face the ''[[Waffen SS]]'' in battle" to mean "He was the only Australian general to face the ''[[Waffen SS]]'' in the [[Battle of Greece]]"? I think it's possible, but I'm not sure. - Dank ([[User talk:Dank|push to talk]]) 03:38, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
:Hi Dan, I recall that the previous wording included "ever" to emphasise "only" but I felt that wasn't necessary (like "best ever" instead of simply "best"). I reckon it's clear that the key part of the sentence is that he was the only Australian general to face the Waffen SS, and the opening clause simply gives the context, i.e. in which battle this unique confrontation took place.

== Page ranges ==

I feel like a bit of a doofus, but can you point me to the policy on page ranges in citations? ie is it 181–182 or 181–82? Cheers, [[User:Peacemaker67|Peacemaker67]]  ([[User_talk:Peacemaker67|click to talk to me]]) 10:34, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
:Never feel that way about WP policy... ;-)  Seriously, I can't point you to a guideline, but I'm quite sure that either format is acceptable provided consistency is maintained within the article. I always use 181–182 and have never had it questioned in reviews, but I often see 181–82 in FAs that I'm monitoring and similarly there seems to be no issue as long as it's consistent. Cheers, [[User:Ian Rose|Ian Rose]] ([[User talk:Ian Rose#top|talk]]) 11:28, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
::Thanks Ian, I have a feeling it has been organic in the past, but someone keeps changing it in articles I watchlist, so I've suddenly become aware of it. Cheers, [[User:Peacemaker67|Peacemaker67]]  ([[User_talk:Peacemaker67|click to talk to me]]) 23:39, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
:::If someone arbitrarily changes the established format within an article then it might come under [[WP:CITEVAR]], meaning consensus should be sought for the blanket change since there's no simple right-or-wrong answer regards the style... Cheers, [[User:Ian Rose|Ian Rose]] ([[User talk:Ian Rose#top|talk]]) 23:58, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
::::{{tps}}... I've even seen ranges omit the "p." and "pp." so it looks like this "Bloggs, 87."  My preferred style, like Ian, is the full page range.

== Oppenheimer image ==

{{tq|Must we employ the same image used in the J. Robert Oppenheimer infobox for the sake of the 'looking inwards' guideline (not policy AFAIK) when we already had a good-quality image that was judged acceptable at FAC?}}<br />
Certainly not.  I regarded the change as an improvement, but I don't believe that it "must" be carried out (and while my reasoning is described in the aforementioned guideline, I didn't perform the edit for the sake of compliance therewith.)<br />
{{tq|Suggest get consensus first...}}<br />
[[WP:BRD|Fair enough]].  However, if your main concern is image variety, you might consider self-reverting for the remainder of the day (given that the current photograph accompanies the main page blurb, which most of today's readers will see first.)  Your call.  —[[User:David Levy|David Levy]] 05:32, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
:Thanks for the above, David. I'm kind of used to blurb images being from the article (though I know that's not required and wouldn't try to enforce it for its own sake) so when I said I liked the variety of images I was thinking of between this article and the dedicated Oppie article, rather than between the mainpage and article images for the hearing page.

==Your close at Austen==
The late Wadewitz plan for the featured article for Austen was based on the FA for [[Chekhov]] and not the FA for [[Ian Flemming]]. If you meant to endorse the opposition stated against using the FA model for [[Chekhov]] in the Austen article, then this would bring to an end the late Wadewitz plan for the form of the article to be based upon the Chekhov FA approach if that was your intention to replace and restructure the article toward the Ian Flemming form of a featured article. [[User:Fountains-of-Paris|Fountains-of-Paris]] ([[User talk:Fountains-of-Paris|talk]]) 15:20, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

:Sorry but I'm not sure how picking up on a reviewer's comment about the format of recent author FAs by offering a specific example (and only an example -- as I said, there are probably others) that includes a style and themes section should constitute some sort of assault on Wadewitz's vision. I think she would recognize that things might have progressed since Chekhov attained FA status way back in 2007 and that perhaps there's scope to build on its format.  I suggest you re-read the commentary at the FAC and consider it in terms of good faith attempts to help you improve the article. Cheers, [[User:Ian Rose|Ian Rose]] ([[User talk:Ian Rose#top|talk]]) 16:30, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

::Certainly in good faith, and I have read all the comments along with the separate FA article which Wadewitz wrote on the Austen Legacy at [[Reception history of Jane Austen]]. In the spirit of Wadewitz, she realized that the extensive legacy of Austen could perhaps be more effectively served by writing it as a separate sibling article first. In case you did not know, she did successfully bring the Austen legacy article to FA status (it is a fine article) and sadly passed away before being able to complete her plan to bring the Biography article to FA status on the model of the [[Chekhov]] article. It is my high regard for the quality of the FA article of the Austen Legacy that draws me to this point of giving her ideas for Austen a full assessment. If you did not know of the [[Reception history of Jane Austen]] Legacy article then its well-worth a read. Wadewitz realized that the very large size of the Legacy article made it impractical to include in the Biography article. She took the sibling article approach out of her love of Austen in the best sense of improving her Biography article. Cheers.

== a question ==

Hey. I'm working on [[User:Lingzhi/sandbox|a project]]. It will take months to finish; it is still in  the initial stages after months of work. I have downloaded & read scores (not kidding) of journal articles etc. The topic could very certainly be dealt with in a surface, dramatic way. But I keep digging and digging and digging, and in the end (if I do it right & well), I'm practically gonna end up writing a deep textbook-level analysis. So... in the end, will reviewers be put off by talk of semi-feudalism, subinfeudation, Anglo-Indian legal system, [[Law of rent|Ricardian rent]], etc etc etc?Tks&nbsp; [[User:Lingzhi|Lingzhi]]&nbsp;&diams;&nbsp;[[User talk:Lingzhi|(talk)]] 12:17, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
:Yes ;-)
:The trick with that kind of article is to make it understandable for someone who is not an expert in that topic area, since this is meant as a general-audience encyclopedia. If you can do that, you'll get a lot more reviewer interest than if it's ultradense and a slog to read through. [[User:Nikkimaria|Nikkimaria]] ([[User talk:Nikkimaria|talk]]) 19:19, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
::Thanks for the reply. :-) The thought just suddenly struck me like lightning, as I looked at Nikkimaria's reply,  that the densest bit is in the Background section.... explaining why India never had an agricultural revolution, why there were so many millions of people whose lives hovered at or near the starvation level even in the best of times. In theory, that discussion could (and.. a purist might even say "should") be moved to [[History of agriculture in the Indian subcontinent#Colonial British Era (1757–1947 CE)]], and put a {{tl|Main}} atop the Background section of the famine article. But that article sucks sucks sucks. It has had 50 (count them, 50) edits in its entire lifetime. I dread walking into that morass... BUT... the 2 million deaths discussed in the famine article are not done justice unless the agricultural history is laid out. Argh.

==Marilyn Monroe==
The writing of this biography is sexist and I am surprised you felt it necessary to keep it that way.

:Saying that Monroe played dumb blondes is not the same as saying all blondes are dumb, and reporting that Monroe was famous for playing a sexist stereotype is not in itself sexist. The article has had several reviews, the latest resulting in its [[WP:FA|Featured]] status, and while that status doesn't mean it can't be improved further, I think you should consider whether your edits are improving its prose while accurately reflecting mainstream sources, or are instead attempting to [[Wikipedia:Tendentious editing#Righting Great Wrongs|right great wrongs]].

I started work a little late on my MILHIST images for this month (I'm trying to get at least two a month), and it looks like only Birney will actually pass this month, but McCallum (presuming it reaches quorum - it's at 3 out of the required five supports at the moment; see [[Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Daniel McCallum]]) should pass on 1 June, and I could easily put him into this month. Should I?

== Blue circles with A in the middle ==

On the top of your userpage you have given links to articles with symbols. I have seen other userpages where they keep these links. I know that the brown star symbol links to featured article. The Green circle with + sign in the middle links to good articles. But the blue circles also link to good articles. Then why are they different from green circles? <strong><span style="font-family: 'Vivaldi'; text-shadow: 0px 0px 10px Indigo">[[User:X-Men Xtreme|<span style="color:DarkOrchid">X-Men</span>]] [[User talk:X-Men Xtreme|<em><span style="color:White">XtremE</span></em>]]</span></strong> 15:25, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
:Hi, that symbol means the article has been assessed as "A-Class". The [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment|A-Class assessment]] system is not Wiki-wide like the FA and GA assessments, but is run by individual Wikiprojects, like the Military History project, the Roads project, and so on.  Not all Wikiprojects employ the A-class review system, so it kind of runs parallel to the GA system (although A-Class assessment has higher standards than GA, particularly regarding depth of coverage). The upshot is that an article can be both GA and A-Class simultaneously, but both are trumped by FA. Hope this helps.

== FAC and citation styles ==

Hi Ian; I'm contacting you in your capacity as FAC coordinator with a rather tedious issue (also tagging {{ul|Laser brain}} for the sake of completeness). A particular user with whom I have not previously had dealings has commented over at [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/An Introduction to Animals and Political Theory/archive1]] with some rather odd citation-related concerns. In addition, the user twice changed my citation style on the article without discussion ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=An_Introduction_to_Animals_and_Political_Theory&oldid=724948948#Bibliography mine], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=An_Introduction_to_Animals_and_Political_Theory&oldid=725302258#Bibliography theirs], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=An_Introduction_to_Animals_and_Political_Theory&oldid=725109745#Bibliography result] is inconsistent) and repeatedly denied that they had done this (see my talk page). <small>(There were, and probably still are, a variety of other issues; the page history and talk page discussion will illustrate some of them, but this is the particular problem)</small> After [[User_talk:J_Milburn#Do_not_panic|a rather long, frustrating discussion]], it became clear that the user in question literally didn't/doesn't know what a citation style is. <small>(Two choice quotes from this user: "There are basically two kinds of citation styles: plain-text or template style. Changing from one to the requires consensus. One style should be used throughout." and "I have come to the conclusion that you do not understand that there are two basic ways to cite: (1) By template (2) By plain text".)</small> I certainly don't want to drag you into the discussion, which I think both of us (for different reasons...) are now happy to abandon as a lost cause, but I have two comments/questions/concerns: First, I'm asking for permission to remove/strike the user's comments on the FAC page. Second, somewhat concerned about the fact that this user is making similar edits on other FA candidate articles and similar comments on other nomination pages, despite the pretty clear misunderstanding. I've tried to make clear the issues, but I'm not sure if they will be taken on board (this might be down to me; I'm no diplomat), and I'm stepping away from this now. As such, I just wanted to make my concerns known. [[User:J Milburn|Josh Milburn]] ([[User talk:J Milburn|talk]]) 20:51, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
: This is not normally the type of thing I'd think to get involved in as an FAC coordinator, but there is actually a pattern here that extends beyond your nomination. I've noted this user doing similar bot-assisted or semi-automated edits on quite a few nominations, and this isn't the first time I've seen them make mistakes that indicate they don't understand citation styles and the actions their tools/bots/scripts/etc are taking. The only reason I think it might fall under the remit of FAC coordination is because the activity seems focused on candidate pages. I'm interested in Ian's thoughts, and I need to spend a bit of time thinking about how to approach this. --[[User:Laser_brain|<span style="color:purple;">'''Laser brain'''</span>]] [[User_talk:Laser_brain|<span style="color:purple;">(talk)</span>]] 23:57, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
::Tks Josh and Andy. I spent a bit of time after this was posted looking at relevant FAC and user talk pages. I've seen the user in question at many FACs, and in most cases hadn't noticed unusual concerns being raised, but as an editor I believe guidelines like CITEVAR should be respected.  It also looks prima facie in this case that there's a fair bit of [[WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT]] on the user's part.  Because the user doesn't seem to actively oppose noms based on citation style (not that I've seen anyway), I would normally expect this issue to be handled by BRD and, if necessary, admin action (I notice [[User:The_ed17|Ed]] has [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Animal_Rights_Without_Liberation&diff=prev&oldid=725314616 become involved at the article per BRD]). OTOH I agree with Andy that FAC seems to be a magnet for them, we may need to weigh in at Josh's nom to try and reign things in a bit.  In answer to Josh's specific request to strike the comments from the current FAC, at this stage I think leaving the comments and responding as FAC coords would be preferable, WDYT? Cheers, [[User:Ian Rose|Ian Rose]] ([[User talk:Ian Rose#top|talk]]) 00:52, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
:::Ed got involved on a different article; while I was trying to explain to the user the problematic nature of their edits, they started to deploy their scripts on another article linked to the one I have at FAC. The user was not happy that I reverted them, and left a [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AJ_Milburn&action=historysubmit&type=revision&diff=725312384&oldid=725299053 template warning for edit warring] after rolling back my edit. The user has also left further comments at the FAC page, so I'm not sure how sincere they were about disengaging. Again, I certainly don't want to drag you into anything, but I'm not particularly keen to engage with the user further at this time, on the FAC page or elsewhere. I'm happy with whatever actions you do/do not take; I'm glad that you are now aware of my concerns. [[User:J Milburn|Josh Milburn]] ([[User talk:J Milburn|talk]]) 09:04, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Your edit also added an extraneous "External Links" section which is not needed just to list portals. These edits indicate that you may not understand the capabilities of your tool, or may not understand citation styles. Either of those being the case, automated or semi-automated edits to FAC articles should cease.

::The Notes section did not have any page numbers that I saw right off so to me it is a Bibliography. That was a manual edit by me. It is not suggested or implemented by any tool. I was not aware of the Wikipedia MoS for that. Please direct me to it so I can get it right. (e.g.- there is a Wikipedia MoS for section layout: '''[[MOS:LAYOUT]]''').

::You mention the "article editor's preferences" dictate section heading names. Where is this rule? I have never been afforded that level of [[WP:Ownership|ownership]] over an article. The ones I know about are overall datestyle and overall reference style. Those are not to be changed without general consensus.

::I fully understand the capabilities of these Wikipedia tools and the need to check their output. They are not my tools. Issues with the tools should be taken up with the tool developers. When I see the tools causing trouble I report it and the developers adjust their tools.

::I make a good faith effort to proof read after running tools by using the {{key press|Changes}} button and the {{key press|Preview}} button in the source code edit window. Sometimes they suggest changes that I do not completely agree with so I strike those manually. All in all, if I find something I do not care for I try to work with the developer to change it and if they agree with me they do.

::I have my Wikipedia '''[[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets|user Preferences]]''' set to enable '''[[WP:wikEd Diff|wikEd Diff]]''' (wide Diff view) which integrates the view of changes so it is easier to see what the changes are.

::Below that is the old style side by side Diff view and I check that too.

::The edit summary is transparency to show which tools were run on the article and to attribute the tool developer for their assistance. It does not indicate which or if any edits were made by a tool. In this case, the changes by tool were minimal and the rest were done manually by me.

::For instance, the date harmonizer was run, but no dates were changed. This means all dates were already in harmony and that can be checked off the to-do list.

::I do not go to pages just to run tools. I run them as a helper to minimize repetitive tasks and to create harmony in the article and the underlying code while I am doing other refinements.

::The only bot I run is the one that every Wikipedia editor has in their source code edit window. I still do a good faith proof reading of the changes to make sure I agree with them.

::I manually fixed a couple of typos that I spotted.

::I was expecting you to show me a Diff where some bad things were going on and I am relieved to know it is simple stuff.

::To my knowledge I have never changed the citation style on any page on Wikipedia; at least not intentionally. Per [[WP:CITEVAR]] we are encouraged to improve citations and when I see opportunities for improvement I take action if I am so inclined and have the time.

::: {{u|Checkingfax}}, I think the point of much of this discussion is eluding you. I accept that you have reasons behind all of your edits. However, I feel that various editors have been trying to convey to you that many matters of style boil down to personal preference. In those cases, it's just good manners to mind the preferences and prevailing style put in place by the principal editors at the page. This is especially important at a venue like FAC where nominators have put quite a bit of work into preparing the article and polishing it up. As SV pointed out above, making subjective and unwelcome changes to an article (at FAC or anywhere else) just wastes time and upsets those working on the page. I'd ask you to voluntarily stick to fixing clear, unambiguous errors and stop making subjective changes to articles at FAC. --[[User:Laser_brain|<span style="color:purple;">'''Laser brain'''</span>]] [[User_talk:Laser_brain|<span style="color:purple;">(talk)</span>]] 21:50, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
:::: Hi, Laser brain (with courtesy pings to {{u|SlimVirgin|SarahSV}} and {{u|J Milburn}}). Thank you for another reply. Nothing is eluding me.

:::: Who are these "various editors"?

:::: Which styles are hallowed ground?

:::: I was transparent and upfront in the edits I made.

:::: SV has never pointed out any specific issues with my edits or suggestions.

:::: I fix many unambiguous errors and while I am at it I do some polishing.

:::: What are these "subjective changes"?

:::: All my edits are made in good faith and to advance the project. If I make a mistake let me know so I won't make that mistake again. Cheers! <code>&#123;&#123;u&#124;[[User:Checkingfax|Checkingfax]]&#125;&#125;&nbsp;{[[User talk:Checkingfax|Talk]]}</code> 22:59, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

::::: {{u|Checkingfax}}, I'd suggest two things going forward. First, refrain from editing articles while they're at FAC. Or, if it's faster to show a change than to explain it, make the edit then revert yourself, or invite the nominator to revert you, perhaps in the edit summary. Second, read the [[WP:WIAFA|featured-article criteria]] carefully and ask only for changes that comply with those criteria. I think if you were to follow those two suggestions, it would make your input at FAC more helpful.

:::::: Hi, {{u|SlimVirgin}}. Thanks for that but you did not answer a single question I put forth.

:::::: Then, your first option is for me to butt out of FAC.

:::::: Since I have nominated an article at FAC I feel it is my obligation and duty to do some QPQ. Nobody has complained before; even got a few "thank yous".

::::::::Hi, {{u|SlimVirgin|SarahSV}}. Maybe I read too much into this: {{tq|First, refrain from editing articles while they're at FAC.}}

Hi, I'll start trimming this one later today. - Dank ([[User talk:Dank|push to talk]]) 16:46, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
:Disclaimer: my brain is fried from reading infobox debates, so I can't promise much until I recover, but it looks okay to me. - Dank ([[User talk:Dank|push to talk]]) 20:02, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
:Sure, that looks good. - Dank ([[User talk:Dank|push to talk]]) 06:00, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
::Tks Dan, sorry to hear about the infobox debates, I must've missed the latest round somehow... ;-) BTW [[User:Brianboulton|Brian]], tks for selecting the article for TFA -- I've gone through it today to ensure all links are up to date, should be good to go. Cheers, [[User:Ian Rose|Ian Rose]] ([[User talk:Ian Rose#top|talk]]) 06:06, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
:::The latest is done and waiting for my close, at [[WP:VPP#Closing]]. Getting up to speed on the history of the mess is giving me a headache, but someone's gotta do it. - Dank ([[User talk:Dank|push to talk]]) 06:18, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
:::: Thank you for being the someone. It's not the typical infobox debate, - this Wikidata in+out. The [[Talk:Catherine Zeta-Jones/Archive 1#Infobox|typical]] was also closed, finally. (Can't help thinking how much more writing power could have gone into content if that harmless little box had stayed in place - where it was for 10 years - and just the debated nationality parameter had been removed.) --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 21:59, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
:::::Of course it goes both ways, Gerda -- think how much could've been saved if people weren't so wed to the little box that not all believe is useful in all articles... ;-) Cheers, [[User:Ian Rose|Ian Rose]] ([[User talk:Ian Rose#top|talk]]) 22:55, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
:::::: I don't feel addressed. I add infoboxes to operas where they are welcome, and to people I care about, accepting a revert when it happens, then discuss, see [[Peter Maxwell Davies]] and [[Pierre Boulez]]. The pro-infobox-flashmob is a myth I don't like, - unsourced. --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 07:18, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
:::::::It's very much sourced, {{u|Gerda Arendt|Gerda}}.  If you want to remind yourself as to why you are associated with this name then visit your contributions list over the last two weeks and you'll see behaviour indicative of someone who has a twisted obsession with Infoboxes.

== Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Imelda Marcos/archive3 ==

Hi Ian, I've just posted a "strong oppose" review here which edit conflicted with your closure of the review. I've posted it after your comments as I wanted to get this on record, but please re-arrange if I've messed up the procedure! Thanks, [[User:Nick-D|Nick-D]] ([[User talk:Nick-D|talk]]) 00:42, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
:I never get tired of saying it -- great minds!  I'm sure that review will be helpful and you've posted it before the bot went through so there should be no issue. Cheers, [[User:Ian Rose|Ian Rose]] ([[User talk:Ian Rose#top|talk]]) 00:52, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

== TFA 10 July ==
[[User: EnigmaMcmxc]], the nominator of the current FAC [[38th (Welsh) Infantry Division]], has asked about the possibility of reserving 10 July as a TFA date for this article, bearing in mind the centenary of the Somme and this unit's role in the battle. The article  may well not be promoted before the required date, but if you or one of your MilHist colleagues are prepared to suggest a placeholder pro tem, I'll be happy to schedule that for the 10th, and to replace it should the 38th's promotion come in on time. Can you help here? [[User:Brianboulton|Brianboulton]] ([[User talk:Brianboulton|talk]]) 13:58, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
:Sure Brian, I could put up [[No. 90 Wing RAAF]], which has the date connection but it's not a round-number anniversary so no worries if it gets replaced by the 38th. Cheers, [[User:Ian Rose|Ian Rose]] ([[User talk:Ian Rose#top|talk]]) 14:44, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
::Thanks, Ian, I'll use this when I schedule next week. [[User:Brianboulton|Brianboulton]] ([[User talk:Brianboulton|talk]]) 22:17, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
:::Since this is a placeholder, I'll leave it alone for now. You're welcome to do the TFA, Ian. - Dank ([[User talk:Dank|push to talk]]) 21:21, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
::::Tks Dan, the lead is small anyway (as befits a shortish article) so all I changed for the blurb was adding the exact day of formation to make the date connection clear and it comes to 829 chars by my calculation. The only word I was considering changing was "overarching" for "umbrella" (could also use "superior" but I think one of the former two might be better) -- WDYT? Cheers, [[User:Ian Rose|Ian Rose]] ([[User talk:Ian Rose#top|talk]]) 23:37, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
:::::[[WP:ITN]] has occasionally complained that they had to pull news articles if our column was too short, so my bargain with them is that I keep it a bit higher, generally between 1075 and 1175. Can you get to 1075? "Overarching" and "umbrella" both sound good to me. - Dank ([[User talk:Dank|push to talk]]) 23:39, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
::::::Heh, I don't like adding detail for its own sake but I guess we have to keep ITN happy -- I'll leave it for a while just in case 38 Div gets promoted and it becomes academic... ;-) Cheers, [[User:Ian Rose|Ian Rose]] ([[User talk:Ian Rose#top|talk]]) 01:14, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Looking at [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/38th (Welsh) Infantry Division/archive1]], it won't make it by the 10th. - Dank ([[User talk:Dank|push to talk]]) 00:52, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
:Yup, will have a go at expanding the blurb in the next day or so. Cheers, [[User:Ian Rose|Ian Rose]] ([[User talk:Ian Rose#top|talk]]) 01:02, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

== ISBN ==

Hi Ian, Thanks for fixing the ISBN error in the Boeing CH-47 Chinook in Australian service article - I'd checked the ISBN but couldn't figure out how to fix it, and was hoping someone else would know once it went live! [[User:Nick-D|Nick-D]] ([[User talk:Nick-D|talk]]) 11:26, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
