@Viriditas: great stuff, it may be worth getting the 'popular pages' for the project - if it doesn't already (Wikipedia:Lists_of_popular_pages_by_WikiProject). Jonpatterns (talk) 13:34, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, that's an excellent suggestion! More later... Viriditas (talk) 01:18, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Update: as you may or may not know, Toolserver is down, and many accounts are either migrated or in the process of being migrated to the new labs server. The "popular pages" list was, I believe once updated by this tool. It is not yet clear to me if this tool is still in use. However, a similar tool maintained by a bot run by User:Kaldari, appears to be active. I have made a request about using it here. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 03:42, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the update, not sure want is happening with User talk:Mr.Z-man, who set up the stats for the economics project. (PS - I haven't forgotten your question regard the Anti-war, but I need to spend a little time to think about that.) Jonpatterns (talk) 08:54, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the importance scale, I'm still having a problem with the scope, so I'm staying focused on that now for the moment. I stopped using the importance scale many years ago, and several large projects have deprecated the parameter and phased out its usage. It certainly gives editors busywork, but results in little benefit. The way to proceed is to organize by topic, and to figure out the scope from there. Any ideas on how you would change the current scope if you could? At present, the scope says it is focused on anti-war movements and ideologies, but it's so much more than that. Does that scope best describe what editors are currently doing? Viriditas (talk) 11:01, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Viriditas: I take your point about the 'importance scale' making a lot of work for little return. Although I find it interesting to look at the statistics. I guess it only becomes useful if there or a few editors willing to work on what ever the scale indicates. Regarding the scope, it does say articles relating to anti-war movements and ideologies - not just those things in themselves. It would be useful to have example which do fall under those categories, and compare to examples which should be included - but which aren't covered by that scope. Jonpatterns (talk) 09:27, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It would be helpful if you could identify the top 10-30 articles that are essential for understanding the topic of antiwar. That would help narrow the scope. In addition, a list of key concepts would be instructive. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 22:30, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jonpatterns, I'm looking for some help with a new draft that I'm proposing to update the Blackboard Inc. article's History section and add in a new Mergers and acquisitions section. Having noticed you made a helpful edit to the article earlier this year, I was wondering if you would be interested to take a look at my suggestions? I should note, I'm working for Blackboard Inc. to propose these changes, but as an editor with a financial conflict of interest, I will not be making any direct edits to the article. Instead, I would be very grateful if you could review my proposed changes and make them in the live article, if they look ok.

Here is the full draft of the History and Mergers and acquisitions I'm proposing in my user space, and here's a diff between the live version and my draft History section, so that you can see the changes I'm proposing. Let me know if you have any questions or comments! Thanks in advance. 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 15:02, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Capitalist mode of production. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.

I see you are a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject Economics, can you review the edits made to the labour economics article from 22 March to 25 March? Some(but not all) of the old material was unsourced, however the neoclassical perspective is more widespread in economics courses than the older labour theory of value, the article therefore ought to give a balanced view of the different theories. Lbertolotti (talk) 23:28, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Lbertolotti: Thanks for the notification. The second part of the new lede appears to be obscure, Labour economics being a combination of Labour and Nature? I will need to check refs to confirm. Having had a brief over look of the changes, I think some/most of the new material can be kept but some of the old article needs to be brought back and referenced - as you say it is important to get a balanced article that reflects the broad understanding of the subject. Note, I have recently had a disagreement with the editor making the changes. Therefore, it would be better for another editor to review the changes. Labour economics diff March 22 -> March 26

Jonpatterns (talk) 04:10, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think the ideal would be:

1. Labour theory of value: concept and history

2. Neoclassical theory of labour and an explanation of why LTV is no longer used by economists

3. Information economics: expand this section with classic references on the field

4. Personnel economics: someone needs to check the old references

5. Criticisms

In case you did not know Wikipedia is not a reliable source for sourcing articles on Wikipedia as you seem to have thought on adding that link to Venus Projects page. Also there is no connection to Venus Project ideas and the information you are adding to that page about Sharing economy. You can not add non-sourced information to an encyclopedia. I hope you understand this now. If you start reverting for no reason in essence you may be edit warring which is something you do not want to do. Thanks Earl King Jr. (talk) 04:16, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Earl King Jr.: Thanks for the message. I am aware that wikipedia is not a reliable source. I referred to Venus Project being on the the Sharing Economy article to show that another editor thinks there is a link between the two subjects. In my opinion there is a link, the link is they treat property relations in a non-conventional way. Another article worthing linking to is Gift economy. An improvement to the Venus Project article would be more details about the project and its proposed resource-based economy.Jonpatterns (talk) 15:24, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion there is a link, the link is they treat property relations in a non-conventional way. Another article worthing linking to is Gift economy. An improvement to the Venus Project article would be more details about the project and its proposed resource-based economy. That is your opinion and not a reliable source. Also it has zero to do with a gift economy. The problem with improving Venus projects article is that they are not particularly notable with little being written about them. Also, resource based economy ideas are not orginal with Fresco. I doubt much of anything he did was original at least except for a few failed inventions and so forth. Mostly he has tried to garner up money and has done very little in the real world that I am aware of except for media speculation things. Earl King Jr. (talk) 03:23, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Earl King Jr.:Thanks for the reply. I did not think my opinion was a reliable source. There is a link, how tenuous is debatable. What are resource based economy ideas, and who had similar ideas before? Jonpatterns (talk) 12:46, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

hey you thank you for disambiguating the results of my wiki-insomnia the other night. Usually I run back through and do it myself with Dabsolver, but you beat the bot to the punch! I never even got notified! In case you were wondering what all that was about with the table, I find the current layout a bit boring and was nerdifying a bit over the fact that the pictures were not lining up with their respective sections. But apparently there is some wierdness about the way wikipedia handles css and I'll have to look into it some more some other time. I think some of the documentation is out of date. But anyway, I eventually decided to leave well enough alone for the time being. I saw you resized that one image, by the way -- I made it bigger on purpose because I think that ribbon-like effect is kinda boring and I'd like to address it, but eh. We don't have to argue about this. Let's see if I can even get what I want to do to work, and then perhaps we'll talk :) I did solve a similar problem on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_in_Otwock_Wielki kinda, I thought, but there was more text there to work with. Elinruby (talk) 07:57, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Elinruby: thanks, that coffee was very nice. Regarding the pictures, I agree that the layout is a bit boring at the moment. The reason is because the article was too long, someone trimmed the text but left all the pictures. I made the pictures small as a work in progress. Probably some of the pictures will have to go. Alternatively, the 'gallery style' could be used, like you did on 'Palace in Otwock Wielki'.

The article needs re-balancing, organizing better and perhaps shortening. I have attempted to fix the table you created, ending up with just the frst paragraph in the table see my sandbox. Jonpatterns (talk) 10:08, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonpatterns: yeah it was a hot mess. I was kept thinking, someone is going to come onto this page and say what the hell. I really shoud have started it in the sandbox to begin with, but I have done tables before and I actually do speak css, and it looked like a trivial problem to begin with. I am not against pictures -- pictures are good --- they just shouldn't be screens and screens from their sections, not that it is quite that bad. I saw one example I rather liked but wasn't feeling ambitious enough to try last night, but I can't finc it just now. This here, though, appears to be a group of people having the sort of problems I was having. Possibly is is useful https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help_talk:Table.I will go look at your sandbox in a bit; I am on another advernture just now. Elinruby (talk) 10:36, 10 April 2015 (UTC) @Jonpatterns: hey, I see you got that caption working on that ship picture, what was the problem there? Elinruby (talk) 10:42, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your interest in the caregiver articles. Those articles get a fair amount of traffic and I am sure that some of it is from people who are dealing with family changes.

Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:20, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Bluerasberry: That was a lovely cup of coffee, thanks. I am studying economics which plays apart in many areas of life. One problem may be that caregiving doesn't seem to fit easily into any WikiProject. Is there a place anywhere that lists improvements that could be made to this collection of articles? Jonpatterns (talk) 16:15, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jonpatterns No. If I had to choose a place then I suppose it would be either the talk page for caregiver or Template:Care navbox. We do not have wiki-vocabulary to describe all the articles within a category which is too small to be a wikiproject, except to maybe call it a "task force" and discuss it on a sub-project page of a wikiproject. If there were enough suggestions then I could come up with a place to put them, but for only a few suggestions, it would make sense to post them in a usual way like on an article talk page than in some extraordinary new way.

I participate in WikiProject Medicine but this does not quite fit in there. I might call caregiving "alternative medicine", but WP:ALTMED includes things like energy healing and that is not the same as caregiving, home therapy, and home nursing. It it tough to know how to organize change.

I could say more if you were really interested in this topic, but for casual collaboration if you get a small idea, ping me anytime. Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 16:26, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jonpatterns,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Simmons Pet Food for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Ormr2014 (talk) 22:51, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jonpatterns! I saw your message on Earl King Jr's user_talk page and I just wanted to let you know that his removal of a message from the zeitgeist talk page appears to be justified under WP:NOTFORUM. Thanks for all your hard work in helping to build an encyclopedia! :-) OnlyInYourMind^(talk) 07:46, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@OnlyInYourMind: Hi, thanks for the comment. If you look at the removed comment, the first half of it was off topic. The first is about how bias may creep into Wikipedia, and how sources should be weighted. The second half was directly related to article discussion, how to characterise the Zeitgeist film.

If the comment was off topic, why not reply stating that. It looks using a collapse box is standard practice. Rather it seems part of a larger behaviour of Earl King Jr.'s to accuse editors with different opinions of bias and using single purpose accounts (SAG), rather than assume good faith. While the work Earl King Jr. is generally good, and sometimes SAGs have been involved, his attitude to other editors creates a hostile, non constructive, environment. It may be because he lacks the knowledge of how to check a users history when determining whether to use good faith.Jonpatterns (talk) 08:29, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes he does appear combative. Not sure how to get this article back on track to cooperative characterizing of the topic. I have no experience with disruptive editors. OnlyInYourMind^(talk) 08:45, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@OnlyInYourMind:Any edit to the article that is potentially controversial will have to be discussed on the talk page. If editors persist in editing the article without engaging on the talk page, record these events. If editors make personal attacks, again record these events. If the behaviour continues use the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard, it is good practice to discuss problems with the user before hand.Jonpatterns (talk) 09:12, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@OnlyInYourMind: thanks for the message. I've had a problem with an editor on that page. They do not engage with making the article neutral and reflecting what the sources says. Instead they accuse editors of being biased single purpose account, but then go on and insert there own bias into the article, regardless of what the sources say. Also, reverting any new edit to the article. The problem is that proving they are inserting their bias into the article and they are not engaging in meaningful discussion would means watching the article over time, and recording the order of events and discussion - as they also have an annoying habit of commenting later on discussions, after they have edited the article to their own pleasing! This can give the appearance of some engagement in debate, when really they are patrolling the article. Frankly, I haven't got the time. Jonpatterns (talk) 23:11, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please be advised that the Central Solar Reserve Bank of Accompong has been an active and a notable state institution since 2014. The fact that the LUMI is scheduled for circulation in late 2016 does does preclude or exclude the current activities of the institution which is crucial for our current government. Furthermore, there has been no illegal activities involving this institution whatsoever. It is a very important component of Accompong's climate change initiative. Sadly, a small faction which is opposed to the Government's current developmental policy and climate change initiative has used Facebook and other social medias to create negative publicity against the government. We have taken legal actions in this regard, however, Ripoff Report does not remove postings after they have been posted, and our discussions with Facebook are ongoing. We kindly request that you take no actions against the entry involving the Central Solar Reserve Bank of Accompong. As a micro-state with limited resources we do not have the ability to constantly be on top of your postings, talks and/or requests, however we shall certainly seek to comply with the procedures of Wikipedia.

Hello John

Is there a protocol to effect updates? You had modified my update. Curious... Anoop Bungay (talk) 01:03, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Anoop Bungay: I've left a welcome message on your talkpage that has some resources on how Wikipedia works. Your addition read like an advert. Wikipedia aims for neutral coverage of notable topics, often third party references are required to support claims made in the articles. Jonpatterns (talk) 09:44, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you John;

Sorry to be a bore; I wonder if I might get your help in modifying the Canadian section? I will read up on the material you suggested and make a draft and then ask you to critique same? Further; you mentioned an interesting point: 3rd party references are required to support claims. While the changes I made might not have met the WP standards; the claims made in my edit are "true" and can be substantiated by 3rd party objective evidence. On a personal point, I find it further interesting that "newspaper articles" are considered a good source of third party reference material since the all of the news paper articles in the Canada section fail to identify MortgageQuote Canada Corp. as the first Peer-to-Peer lending company in Canada; we started the same year Lending Club started (2006).

Finally, on a personal note, you might appreciate (give your residency in UK), that not only is our firm first in Canada, since 2008 our ISO 9001:2015 quality management system auditors and certifying body is none other than the British Standards Institute (BSI Group); the global leader in excellence in business. BSI Group provides 3rd party authentication of the fact that our firm is certified to a quality management system.

Having said the foregoing, it would be really nice to get your help in effecting our goal of updating the Canadian Peer-to-Peer lending section; once I confirm that I have read the startup material.

Your thoughts?

Anoop Bungay (talk) 15:45, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Anoop Bungay:What classifies as a reliable third party source is slightly 'quirky'. Newspapers can be reliable, though obviously not always. You may find WP:ORG helpful. I can not promise to review your work, but I may well do so when and if you update the Peer to peer article. Jonpatterns (talk) 16:14, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

@Jonpatterns: Hello, we met briefly over the Sibelius (scorewriter) reversions of all my edits to this page by the editor Chrissymad. Thank you for your contribution to the discussion, and your subsequent reinstatement of my edits, which although subsequently re-reverted, were later reinstated by SarekOfVulcan and the original reverter hasn't so far tried to undo this. I see this editor is now also taking the scalpel to my main article as above, which has taken many months to research and write, and is deleting entire sections, such as Early Life, alongside clearly relevant and notable citations, including a full-page article in a notable newspaper, which is entirely about my subject. His entire discography along with all mention of his 35 recording credits has also been erased without trace. Would you mind taking a look at these reversions and giving a second opinion? As acknowledged on my User page, I was aware that my article may be criticised as too long for the perceived relative importance of my subject, but what I had been hoping for was helpful feedback so that I could carry out fixes myself. It is clear to me that there is an assumption by Chrissymad of bad faith on my part, since I was accused, without evidence, of being paid to write the article. Not only is this allegation without foundation, it appears to be a violation of Wikipedia:Assume good faith. I should mention, I have also run this issue past SarekOfVulcan (who reinstated my Sibelius edits after Chrissymad reverted them again after you had reinstated them) for an opinion. Best wishes. Chrisdevelop (talk) 00:31, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Chrisdevelop: Hi, thanks for the message. Unfortunately, I haven't got any time at the moment to review edits on the Derek Williams draft. You could try and engage Chrissymad on the talkpage of the draft. Another possibility is to work on the article in your own user space (User:Chrisdevelop/Derek Williams (musician)))- where other users should not do unwanted edits.

Finally, there is the possibility of just publishing the article directly to main space (Derek Williams (musician)) if you think it meets Wikipedia's standards- there is no requirement for editors to get drafts approved first. Jonpatterns (talk) 08:39, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Jonpatterns. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, NAPS team, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

1. edit the page
2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

If you wish to participate in the 2018 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:42, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering why on the page of Transnational_Institute you removed the text: "world-wide fellowship of scholar-activists: researchers, writers, scholars, journalists and documentary makers^[1].

Can't make it out from the edit summary either. thanks Webmind (talk) 11:47, 8 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hellos do you happen to know how to make tables stretch across the whole page? I've re-split the table at Self-managed social centres in the United Kingdom into current and former projects but somehow the new tables are horizontally shrunken. All the best for 2020! Mujinga (talk) 20:11, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Mujinga: A table's width can be fixed using style options after the table's header symbol {|, for example fix to 100%:

style="width: 100%;"

The default is for table to expand depending on the width of the cells' contents until the table reaches 100% than text in the cells will start wrapping on to the next line.

A tag has been placed on Milky Wimpshake requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Heya - reaching out after a year since I last did! I am a bit concerned that a specific user/editor is vandalising a page I keep a close eye on. I’m still finding my way with everything on here so don’t want to point the finger too hastily. I suspect the person editing may even be the subject of the page, or someone very close to them - but that’s just a hunch. I wish it was simpler to understand how to flag something for others to review and tell me if I’m being too precious about the page editing! Any thoughts from you?

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by BD2412 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Sourcing is poor, primarily to commercial sites. Where are the records from art historians?

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Victor Charreton and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
