Dear Lord B., thanks for your edits. By the way - although i don't want to be finnicky - mentioning the date of an image (or text) is in my opinion always necessary. Waterfalls erode and retreat for instance, there is always a historical context for everything that the reader needs to know, for instance related to the technical quality of the photograph etcetera. So the year of the photograph should if possible be given. Cheers, [[User:Hansmuller|Hansmuller]] ([[User talk:Hansmuller|talk]]) 11:21, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Revision as of 07:16, 22 December 2019

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Evil clown, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wasco (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

National pavilions

By the way, I can help with sourcing if you're interested in building out one of the national pavilion articles. (I'm personally planning to start with the American pavilion once I finish mainspacing my other Biennale drafts.) czar 10:36, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Czar: Only a passing and amateur interest, really, I just got alerted to the Belgian article because it had an inbound link to an article I'd created. But thanks. --Lord Belbury (talk) 12:52, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

ADULT. (band)

I am disputing two items here.

The band's name is ADULT. It is not stylized or "Decorative" it is how the band spell their name. If it is not in all capitals and with a period (full stop) then it is spelled incorrectly and thus Wikipedia is in error. Your comment that "Decorative punctuation makes the article text harder to read" is frankly not within your judgements as an editor. Here is a link to the bands video on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkgQduEbLig You can also see that all of their sites are www.adultperiod.com facebook adultperiod instagram adultperiod twitter adultperiod

The second is the fact that I spent 5 hours updating an outdated (2007) erroneous Wikipedia page. You deleted everything I did without the courtesy of any explanation. Please start by telling me why you did not allow the discography section to be updated. The information there is fact and non-disputable. Everything can be checked on discogs, the record label's pages (which are all listed), etc.

Hello Lord Belbury, thank you for your efforts to improve referencing for this article. But please make sure to double-check Refill-edits - just like any other semi-automatic edit - for possible errors. Promotional content like "Contribute to ... " does not belong in the source title, and sometimes the tool simply uses incomplete or false HTML content and treats it as valid reference parameter - so it needs a manual check afterwards. I have tweaked your recent edit already, just a quick tip for future edits. Best regards. GermanJoe (talk) 09:44, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Username

Hi Lord Belbury. I wanted to drop by to compliment your username. I'm thinking that you, Lord Cornwallis, and I should form a club. :) Apropos, what is the inspiration for your username? I can't find any historical figures named Lord Belbury from a quick Google search. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 18:37, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reverts

Can you please let me know how you (diff) managed to revert 2 edits at once using twinkle despite it not being the last edit. I dont get such an option on my Twinkle, hence I was curious. thanks. --DBigXray 13:40, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't remember doing anything unusual. Perhaps the later unrelated edit was applied after I'd been given the revert option, but before I'd clicked it. --Lord Belbury (talk) 17:30, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
thanks for the kind reply. Yes, that is what I had thought but just wanted to confirm just in case this was a new feature unknown to me. --DBigXray 17:36, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

ITN recognition for Joe Longthorne

On 7 August 2019, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Joe Longthorne, which you updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page.

It is only fair to share it for your help in sourcing.--DBigXray 11:20, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Beer Die Cups

Hello Lord Belbury,

I am not disrupting the Beer Die page. The information, including the photo of the cup and the rules I submitted, are correct. The page needs to be updated, including the rules and the photos.

I have been playing Beer Die for 6 years and I have never used a solo cup. Solo cups are composed of a single-use plastic called Plastic #6, also know as Polystyrene. Polystyrene is the 3rd most abundant plastic in the ocean and it is more expensive to collect, transport, sift, and recycle, than it is to manufacture! It is horrible for the environment and this page is promoting the use of Solo cups by allowing that image to be posted.

Traditional pint glasses, made of glass and steel are better suited for the game. White ODP cups are used for Snappa and Beer Die. They have no other use.

I do not see how you could view it as promotional if the cup I submitted is only used for Snappa and Beer Die. Where on Solo's website does it mention that their cups are used for regulation Beer Die and Snappa matches?

Sincerely, J — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamalogo10 (talk • contribs) 07:19, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sources for card game rules

Hi Lord Belbury, thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I see you've removed a couple of references for card game rules recently, for example, one at Black Peter (card game) linking to the rules at cardgamesplanet.com ("whitespace/spam") and one at Conquian to playingcarddecks.com. ("blog entry from commercial playing card website, inappropriate source"). Now I'd agree that the published books, periodicals and non-commercial websites are generally better sources than commercial websites, but I think the latter sometimes have their place, particularly if the rules they are publishing are not linked to a proprietary product of theirs. For example, Piatnik is a highly respected games manufacturer who publish rules for games that can be played with any card pack from any manufacturer. I have even seen their rules being cited in scholarly sources e.g. by Dummett or McLeod, who are renowned card game experts and historians. Cheers.Bermicourt (talk) 16:08, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the quick response. I did wonder myself if TWUJohn was the John Taylor in question. In which case, I'm content. I was just concerned about a possible blanket deletion of website links when some seem reasonable. Thanks again. Bermicourt (talk) 18:17, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, and I don't think the articles in question need those links. They're well enough attested in the literature. It looks like promotional linking. Bermicourt (talk) 19:38, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback granted

Hi Lord Belbury. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account until November 27. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Chetsford (talk) 16:12, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Primary sources

Hi there Lord Belbury, The article I created about the British synth-pop band Gravity Noir is still flagged as having multiple issues. One of them that the article relies too much on references to primary sources. When I search for "how do I use primary sources", I found this: Examples of a primary source are: Original documents such as diaries, speeches, manuscripts, letters, interviews, records, eyewitness accounts, autobiographies. Empirical scholarly works such as research articles, clinical reports, case studies, dissertations. Creative works such as poetry, music, video, photography. The article is about Gravity Noir, a band that produces music and video's. The article sums up most, if not all of their music releases and some of their music video's in the articles discography. An entire catalogue of official releases. Can't these official works of music be concidered as primary sources? If not, I can use some help if possible. Thanks in advance, really appreciated. May the joy and peace of Christmas be with you all through the Year. Wishing you a season of blessings from heaven above. Happy Christmas!! --Trix18365 (talk) 14:45, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Really Laminar flow in the Victoria Falls

Dear Lord B.,

Yes, File:ASC Leiden - Rietveld Collection - East Africa 1975 - 05 - 042 - Victoria Falls waterfall - Livingstone, Zambia.jpg represents laminar flow where the flow is smooth and linear with no foam etcetera. I happen to be a physicist, former physics teacher and meteorology university lecturer, there is no problem here, it is a schoolbook case. Of course there might be better photographs, but it seemed appropriate to show a perhaps less known waterfall here. I mentioned the swift transition over the ridge :"Laminar (at the ridge) and turbulent flow (immediately downstream with white foam) of the Victoria Falls in the Zambezi River, 1975". So you might reconsider your edit or replace the picture by a better one if you like.. But a real life illustration should be present at the top of the article, not just an artificial diagram. Thanks, Hansmuller (talk) 17:42, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I added some text and YouTube videos that prove the point. It is shocking to find that the famous textbooks on my physics shelf are not interested at all in everyday life and nature examples, but only in artificial applications of laminar flow in pipes and around aeroplanes with nice mathematics. That's why you didn't find these examples easily. So for now my references are YouTube videos! I was cheeky enough to put my Victoria Falls back for the time being, i hope you'll find a better photograph. (I hope to take some pictures myself, but i am not a great photographer, perhaps you are.) Thanks,Hansmuller (talk) 18:52, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
