Hi there, Woofboy, and welcome to Women in Red. I see you have recently written a couple of women's biographies. I hope there will be many more. If you run into any difficulties or need assistance, please let me know.--Ipigott (talk) 08:52, 10 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for creating Grace Gao.

I have just reviewed the page, as a part of our page curation process.

Please resolve incoming links.

To reply, leave a comment here and ping me.

-- Hi @Boleyn:. What does it mean to resolve incoming links (and how does one do that)?

Woofboy (talk) 11:34, 11 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Woofboy, thanks for replying. Due to the page moves, there are a lot of links in other articles which are now pointing to the wrong target. If you go to the page, then click on 'What links here' on the left-hand side (or use this: [1] then it will show all the links that need to be edited so that the blue link goes to the right page, instead of leading readers to the disambiguation page. Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 11:45, 11 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

-- Wow, there were quite a few, weren't there, @Boleyn:! Thanks for pointing it out and helping me know how to edit them. They're all done now. Woofboy (talk) 16:34, 11 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi Woofboy and Boleyn. I just moved Grace Gao title to Grace Gao (disambiguation), since there were many articles linked to Grace Gao, Canadian badminton player. Thank you Stvbastian (talk) 15:12, 11 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Stvbastian: and @Boleyn:. I don't suppose you could help me, could you. I resolved the incoming links problem on the Grace Gao disambig page, but I must not have done it correctly because Stvbastian has reverted the edits I made (so that searching "Grace Gao" takes you to the page for the badminton player of that name rather than to the disambig page). How can I do this correctly? Thank you. Woofboy (talk) 17:05, 11 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Yes Woofboy, i reverted your editing because the page for disambiguation Grace Gao already exist in Grace Gao (disambiguation). And, in WP Badminton, we dont use Grace Gao (badminton player) for the title, so i contested that page for deletion.Stvbastian (talk) 17:42, 11 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hello, looks like opening a discussion at WP:RM is your best option, if you think neither of the entries is a clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and so one should be moved to Grace Gao (badminton). Stvbastian, your move back created a couple of other issues - no hatnote at Grace Gao so it would be difficult to find the activist and confuse readers, and Grace Gao (disambiguation) is not a valid page per WP:2DABS and is likely to be deleted (not necessarily a bad thing, as I've now added in a hatnote). Boleyn (talk) 20:38, 11 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, @Boleyn:. I guess I'll head over to WP:RM. --Woofboy (talk) 21:31, 11 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi Boleyn, thanks for the explanation. I understand what you mean and agreed with that. But, since Woofboy moved Grace Gao, Canadian badminton player to a wrong title convention, i moved the page and reverted Woofboy editing. I started a discussion before to prevent editing error, but Woofboy continuously to convent Grace Gao, Canadian badminton player to a page "Grace Gao (badminton player)" neither "Grace Gao (badminton)". Thank you Stvbastian (talk) 02:03, 12 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, Stvbastian, you're right that a discussion is the best option and the word playeer is superfluous. Boleyn (talk) 06:31, 12 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Thanks for uploading File:Novara Media homepage screenshot.jpeg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Hello, Woofboy,

Thanks for creating Antisemitism in the UK Conservative Party! I edit here too, under the username Slatersteven and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:-

This contains far too much trivia and tittle tattle. It should really be massively shortened and much of the material about minor figures like mosely truncated to single short paragraphs. I am also concerned its' tone is not neutral and rather bland, it read more like a list of incidents.

I am also thankful for your creation article plus all the research into this. It was surprising it was absent before. I too think it could be made more accessible by cutting back on any unnecessary excess. I am not a skilled copy editor, if I make any changes you do not think are right, please change them back. ~ BOD ~ ^TALK 19:17, 13 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi Woofboy, I've been noticing your recent edits on Calais Jungle, which is currently the subject of a Good Article review process. I'll wait to see the comments of the reviewer about it, but I am a bit concerned by this edit which took out a chunk of text and this edit which changed the article structure. If you are considering more largescale edits, please go to the talkpage first. You are of course very welcome to join the good article review and I've pinged you from there. Mujinga (talk) 22:38, 6 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Mujinga:. Thanks for getting in touch. What is a Good Article review? I've been on Wikipedia a while, but some things are still unfamiliar to me. I'll head over to the review section you pinged me in. Thanks for the heads up! --Woofboy (talk) 17:39, 7 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

If you haven't already found it, Wikipedia:Good articles explains what Good Articles are and I guess you've now seen the beginning of the review on Talk:Calais_Jungle/GA1. Yeah it's sort of a behind the scenes thing which you wouldn't necessarily see from the front-end. I'm going to start my reply now and I might revert some of the edits you made, but happy to talk through anything. Through the review which should end up with a better quality page, which would be great! Mujinga (talk) 20:30, 9 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Please identify the source of the material in your edit.

This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.S Philbrick(Talk) 12:07, 19 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hiya it's cool we got Calais Jungle up to Good Article status! To carry on improving it, there was an idea to present a table showing the size of the camp. I was trying out things at User:Mujinga/DraftTable-Calais but got a bit stuck because the stats vary so widely between state figures and NGO figures, to put it crudely. The French page has a table so I was looking at that as well. I was wondering if you had any thoughts about it? Cheers, Mujinga (talk) 10:00, 17 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, nice work, Mujinga. :-) To be honest, I'm indifferent to a graph about the population of the camp. If you think one would be good, though, how about unsing the one from the French article (adding the appropriate tag on the talk page)? --Woofboy (talk) 12:04, 17 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Fair enough. The French article graph doesn't seem to fit so well to its sources, so I'm a bit dubious about using that one. I'll keep on pondering! Mujinga (talk) 20:01, 17 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Another Angry Voice homepage screenshot.jpeg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from British National Party into British fascism. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 00:23, 29 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
