Swindon Works

[edit]

Hi, Re this revert: (i) observe that in my edit, I removed one unsourced sentence, andt since your edit included the addition of two sources, the edit summary was untruthful in its use of the words "Undid revision 588889663 by Redrose64"; (ii) please read WP:NPA before you call somebody an "idiot"; (iii) I did read it, and it appeared to fall within WP:NOR in its use of the phrase "were more likely factors"; (iv) please read WP:VAND before you use words like "vandalising". --Redrose64 (talk) 16:22, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, but I feel fully justified in my edit summary comment (1) why do we have general references? They were already in the footer, yet (2) in your usual "I'm right, the rest of you are wrong" attitude, your edit summary was your normal vindictive "speculation" style (have you actually read your edit summaries?) (3) which seems to suggest an attitude at preset beyond encyclodpedic and verging specifically in edit summaries of pedantic. I don't know you except from your edit record, but it seems that much as though you could add much to the project, your edit summaries at present are excluding co-operation and engagement with others editors - specifically, excluding particularly new editors. Perhaps you are holding on too tight, and should review your edit summaries? Accuracy and referencing yes, but does that need to come with a present attitude of non-co-operation on a human scale and vindictive exclusion? I hope that you find a more human and inclusive situation - Good Luck! Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 20:54, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The problem with general refs is that there is no way of knowing which ref(s) support which sentence(s) in the text. There are six books listed under "Further reading" - how am I supposed to know which one to request from my local library?
It is easily demonstrable that Swindon is not the mid-point - the station is at milepost 77+14, and since Bristol T.M. is close to mp 118+12, that places Swindon 65% of the way along the line - almost two thirds. The true mid-point is close to mp 59+14, which is between Steventon and Wantage Road. I have checked through
  • MacDermot, E.T. (1927). History of the Great Western Railway, vol. I: 1833-1863. Paddington: Great Western Railway. pp. 120–121.
in which we find a letter from Gooch to Brunel, dated 13 September 1840, containing the reasons for the choice of Swindon: it is too lengthy to reproduce here, since it occupies 1.5 pages of small type - but it does include several relevant points: it is the junction for Cheltenham; it was the point where the gradients change - in particular, it is close to the bottom of Wootton Basset incline; it was close to a canal. There is nothing about it being chosen as the mid-point for the line - indeed, Gooch notes "an apparent inequality of distance or duty for the engines to work", and gives "the actual distances are as 76+12 to 41". He later observes that since Reading is "36 miles, the next distance, to Swindon, would be 41 miles, and on to Bristol, another 41" - so Swindon is a mid-point, but between Reading and Bristol, and not for the line as a whole, which is what was implied by the text that I removed.
There are a number of people that (for whatever reason) are ignoring WP:NOR and WP:NOT#OR. Offering unsourced opinions on why something was done in one way as opposed to another is original research. What you don't see when I am reviewing my watchlist is the large number of edits made by others which go without comment from myself. These I do look at, but since I see nothing wrong, I pass on to the next. --Redrose64 (talk) 21:43, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If you can not see the references beyond your opinion, then why edit an encyclopedia that relies on its credibility through stating third party references? You can argue mid-point in your opinion until the cows come home, but at the end of the day that's your opinion not a referencerable fact. As the references and article states, the "mid-point" in not defied by Gooch as the physical distance mid-point, but the engineering journey mid-point between the smooth journey from London to Swindon, and the relatively steep journey to Bristol thereafter. Early locomotives were not reliable, needed changing, and like all steam powered devices needed a supply of water. But that's the whole point you are missing here - you are reading the facts (distance not journey) from your perspective, not from the written references. That's the whole point that you are missing here, and its a difficult one to grasp - and it shows in your far too aggresive edit summaries.

Cad & the Dandy Article

[edit]

Hi Trident13.

It is not my edits that does not look constructive. You've actually edited the article twice. First, you made some sentences/paragraphs look like spam and then second, you deleted them. If you will read my original edits, you'll see that it is relevant, constructive and important information. My edits are also unbiased. What I've added are undeniable, factual information supported by reliable published references.

I am reverting this back to the original version before your 2 edits.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Bal Rajagopalan, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. DGG ( talk ) 05:10, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article Ken Hames has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non notable--refs for career are press releases or personal web pages. SAS service aloe is not notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. DGG ( talk ) 17:45, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think the article should be AFD'd? The Jewish Chronicle looks to be the only good source. The others are primary, about the company not him, or is the BusinessWeek profile from its database, which I think just regurgitates official profiles.

Nicholsons Gin

[edit]

Hi,

I am looking into the history of the Nicholson gin brand for a client. I am a trainee solicitor at Stephenson Harwood LLP. We are based in London.

I notice that you added the Nicholson brand to the "Notable brands" section of the "Gin" article, and that you also created the J&W Nicholson article.

We act for the person who has recently acquired the rights to the Nicholson and Nicholson Lamplighter brands and we are looking for people who have knowledge of them.

I wonder if you would be open to me contacting you via email to discuss this further? Please know that this is merely a request to help a famous old gin brand.

Please do not hesitate to contact me directly in relation to this matter (details below).

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

When did WP:MOS start saying that redirects shouldn't be categorized?

Also, please read WP:BRD. It's not B, R, R-again-because-you-know-you're-really-right. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:32, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your message - in light of your tone, can you please read WP:AGF. The WP:MOS note re cats on redirect pages came in over 2 years ago. I used to add cats onto such, but someone who was trying to be an editor quickly pointed out the change to me. Secondly, the categories that you are trying to add back are all presently listed in the article to which the redirect points to. Hence, both the redirect and the actual article are listed in all three cats. The WP:MOS directive says that you should only add cats if the redirect name adds to the wider categorisation of the subject. As the three cats are repliacted, what's the point? Hope that you understand hence why I removed them, and see no sence on either a WP:MOS or logical level to add them back. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 10:37, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't call me "lazy". There's no need to be rude and unpleasant. Though I appreciate a disambiguation page for Vulcan Hotel has its merits. See you around! Sionk (talk) 15:28, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Coupé de ville

[edit]

Congratulations on re-opening this and related cans of worms. I applaud your "rewrite the darned thing! We will ALWYS trip over ourselves if we keep up the Yankification of Wikipedia - same words have different terms in different parts of the world". Though startled by the quite remarkable lapse of the succeeding editor. Mind you I'm not sure your re-write was correct but then neither is what you were re-writing. I look forward to a "re-development" of the little article this time using reliable references. Best wishes to you, Eddaido (talk) 01:17, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your message - I hope that I find you well! I think certain cans of worms are worth reopening - have a look at the definition of Biscuit, which had become in the seemingly continual process of Yankification as something which was definitively (and not to be argued with) soft doughy objects in gravy. We now have Biscuits (European) and Biscuit has become a big-link/virtual disambiguation page. If you read the German and French Wiki articles on the same Coupe de Ville subject (translations available via Google), then they follow the same form as I did in the rewrite - hence why I did as I did to improve the article. These accept that the words can have different interpretations in different countries - why should we as an encyclopaedia be afraid of this? As a Brit (much as though I spent 20 years working in North America), I haven't got a clue what a Town Car is above a Lincoln model. If you ask me to define an open front topped/enclosed rear car then I'd call it a Sedanca de Ville, as (a) I own one, and (b) the UK dealer chap who I bought it from described it as such, as that's what the Rolls Royce/HJ Mulliner build sheet described it as such. I also accept that if I went to France and Germany, they would define it as a Coupe de Ville, which would have a very different interpretation in North America (hence why I added a North America section in the rewrite - plus it keeps them happy). I personally don't think that if there are major reference sources that clash we should be worried as an encyclopaedia to provide reader guidance around the wording - the article before I started my rewrite didn't even define the term as French language in origin! I think that there is a lot more to go on the article, but the opportunity here is in (1) the definition of what the word means and then (2) how then each area of the world interprets it.

Tales of Wales

[edit]

Greetings, Trident13. As an avid collector of tales of Wales, I dug out the Weiss/Daily Mail thread linked at your user page ("I will be the first to admit I don't always get it right - and the typed internet is not sometimes the best medium through which to have clear communication. But I hope the contribution I make is useful and valued ... even though Jimbo Wales doesn't think so, and made a personal attack on me." — Emphasis added in the link, for clarity.) It's a long and rather chaotic thread, and I didn't find the personal attack; I must have missed it in the to and fro. Doubtless you can go straight to it, so please would you do me a favour and quote it, at least partially, for me (on my talk page if you prefer) so that I can find it when I search again? Then I can add it to my precious (off-wiki) collection of quotes from our revered founding father, who is now also of course a world-renowned champion of free speech. The page is archived, so here is a working link to it for your convenience: [1]. Many thanks. Writegeist (talk) 16:57, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your message - I hope that I find you well! I don't seek a 1on1 confrontation with Jimmy Wales, nor do I wish that to be the outcome of the post on my FP. My great disappointment with Jimmy Wales choice on that occasion - and on numerous occasions since - was that it cut straight across the rules and accept practises of Wikipedia, something which Jimmy claims to live by. The reality is clearly different, in that (1) he thinks he can cut across any Wiki rules, for what ever reasoning, and that (2) a series of underlings hence go forth and do his work, in the vain hope that they may drink from the same table. Jimmy's upset with my edit was further fuelled in that I had chosen to reference the Daily Mail, which as he is someone who is presently married to a Blairite-Labour insider, he considers a sacrosanct sin (if you follow the mentioned above underlings, you will note that they hate the DM even more as part of their commitment/pledge to the JW cause. The DM also on an at least annual basis heavily critic's Wikipedia, most often on accuracy. But the depth of hate between the two organisations goes beyond the public evidence). I fully accept that I made an error in this particular edit, but then so did the newspapers who printed the story (DM, Telegraph, Observer - I have copies of them all), as it was based on a "revenge"-powered false press release pointed towards the victim, who was later compensated by all of the above media outlets. However, does my following of the Wiki rules and quoting references (which I fully accept turned out to be false) justify Jimmy's choice to (1) cut across the rules of Wiki, and (2) send out judgements on others? As personally the rules of Wikipedia are written on a far more collaborative principles - possibly even with socialist aroma's - Jimmy's chosen action illustrated to me the duplicity of the rules here: hence my warning to others, that however you may view the rules here, the "popular/powerful" consider themselves above and beyond them. I have soft and hard copies of all of the above mentioned documents and the exchange on Jimmy's talkpage, but as I said I don't seek a confrontation with Jimmy or anyone here - much as though he broke the rules. So on this occasion I hope that you will understand my choice not to presently provide you with copies of the requested items. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 13:22, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I was going to add a note here to say that I could hardly believe that an editor of your experience would have made such a foolish mistake, but I find that your talk-page history is already awash with copyvio warnings, and that you seem to have treated them with some considerable disdain. Do you actually want to blocked from editing here? Because if so, I can ask for that to happen, though I can't promise my request will be acted on. If not, may I suggest that you read, learn and inwardly digest our copyright policy, and make very sure that you adhere to it from now on? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 14:17, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank You for your note. As an article creator I accept that copyvio is a risk - it will always a balance between referencing and original reasearch, and in referencing if you follow the same timeline particalarly for historic articles, then copyvio is a potential outcome. But as for being "awash"? In the early days perhaps, but in recent years? I conclude the tone of your message is purposefully exaggerated - trying to impress someone? I was also dropped a private message by a more experinced Adminstrator who advised me that the settings on the copyvio bot had been tightened, and they noted your awash comment as poorly thought through. I won't multiple-barb my message as per your intent, but would suggest that you go and read WP:AGF. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 16:20, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the risk is sort of increased when you copy-paste content directly from a copyright source into a new article, wouldn't you say? I've read WP:AGF, and your behaviour is definitely beyond its scope. I've so far taken just one small step in that regard (please see below), but obviously there's a great deal more to be looked at. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:19, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your comment. I note your concerns, but I am fully aware of what copy and paste is versus creation, which can also verge towards original research. If you highly reference something back, then as an article creator you are always playing with CopyVio issues. On this occasion I got it wrong by not following my preferred process (1) my usual form is to create on stubpages or on my own private wiki, and then test - this one I went straight live to (2) you also always play a greater risk with historic articles - time lines are hard to move from, hence that's fixed. I estimate from my own tests by 30% (3) you rely on few sources/singular sources to create a full time line. I'll let the investigation run, but as any contributor must accept, I stand by my contribution record. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 08:36, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
