| Thanks for your message. It would be great to work with others on the article. It might be a while before we should go for FA or even GA though, as I suspect we wont see a resolution this year, and it might not be until another few months till we have good academic sources which summarise the various views and put the current episode in historical context. | |||
| You've made a lot of good additions to the article, but if we're going to be working together I hope you aren't too strongly in favour of tags? I consider them unsightly and ineffective. There are backlogs with thousands of articles and so IME they rarely attract helpful editors and possibly discourage readers who would otherwise make corrections, Ive had sometimes dozens of corrections in a month from IP editors on untagged articles. For the neutrality tag Ill reply on the talk page to see if we can clarify what changes you consider necessary to make the article NPOV. ] (]) 08:14, 11 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
| : Okay, lets give it a shot. As long as you dont mind possibly doing more than half the work as Im not sure how much wiki time Im going to have over the next few months. Even if it fails at GA level at least we'll be improving an important and topical article. I was worried before that it would be hard to provide proper context without straying into borderline OR, but since then sources have started to come out comparing the current situation with the 1930s. I think we should keep our use of economists forums to a minimum to save arguments about whether they're compliant with policies , but there should be articles coming out in the journals soon. There are already some on we could use. I dont know anything about DYK so Ill leave that side of things to you. My degree is in physical chemistry, I don't have formal training in economics but do have some practical experience both from the market and government perspective having worked at investment banks and at Whitehall. ] (]) 11:46, 19 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
| ::Just the fact that "According to Brazil's finance minister, ], an international ] has erupted" seems like it could be a key hook for DYK? ] (]) 12:04, 19 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
| :::Two good public think tanks for economic issues are and Not strictly think tanks, but arguably better in terms of quality of analyses and success in influencing policy makers are the FT and Roubini's Global Economics. The latter two have loads on Currency War, especially the FT, though you have restricted access unless you become a paid subscriber. (FT is great value if your seriously interested in international finance) Wall Street Journal can be good especially for a more hawkish perspective, though I havent had a chance to check it out recently. For a cross between a think tank / accademic Journal / economists forum you cant really beat VoxEU which I already linked you to. ] (]) 17:19, 20 October 2010 (UTC) | |||

| :::::Yep we should defo include some of those links you added. Re the G7, the source said "the annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund and G7 in Washington" Youre right there wasn't a formal G7 meeting this month, but historically G7 delegates like to have their own private meetings at the IMF get togethers and it looks like the source was referring to this. It may be misleading to some readers and wouldn't be worth spelling out in detail as the G7 is far less relevant these days now India and China are more significant to the global economy than most G7 members, so i think its best just not to mention it.] (]) 13:30, 27 October 2010 (UTC) | |||

| ==Bahraini election== | |||
| I would strongly advise against it. The infobox is a pain in the arse - unless you have a country where there are only two parties, then the infobox is either too large (especially on smaller resolutions) or ends up being an NPOV violation, because not all parties are included in it. It is not used on all election articles, because I have not used it in any of the hundreds of election articles I have created for the reasons mentioned above. ] ]] 14:42, 25 October 2010 (UTC) | |||

| == More speedies == | |||
| Those were better, because you cited speedy criteria from WP:CSD, but I still declined them. The reason is that redirects are cheap - they take up little space on the servers, and if there is even a possibility that they might be useful a redirect from mis-capitalisation or common mis-spelling is usually kept - see ], particularly ]. For that reason the specification for ] is "''Recently created redirects from '''implausible''' typos or misnomers''", and that is the only speedy for a redirect, apart from ], redirect from the article namespace into another space (which happens, for instance, when an autobiographical article is ''userfied'' to the author's user page). | |||
| When you find an article more or less identical with another, often turning one into a redirect, as you quite rightly did on one of these, is a better option than {{tl|db-a10}}. | |||
| If an article really fits one of the speedy criteria, you should need no extra words to explain - a simple {{tl|db-person}} or {{tl|db-vandalism}} should be enough. Conversely, if you find you need extra words, it may indicate that the article doesn't really fit the speedy. Note that although {{tl|db-a7}} is OK, it is better to use the specific ones like {{tl|db-band}}, {{tl|db-corp}} etc, because they produce a rather more specific message in the deletion log.

Can you offer some explanation for all of this? __] (]) 19:02, 25 October 2010 (UTC) | |||
| == Incremental indentation of paragraphs == | |||
| In you submit a post containing three paragraphs. For some reason you indent each paragraph incrementally. This is completely pointless and it makes for reduced readability. Please adhere to ] when you post discussion entries and keep your pragraphs on the same level, of course with the usual exception for insertion of quotations. I encourage you to ] the submission in question. __] (]) 10:47, 26 October 2010 (UTC) | |||

Currently, it looks like we will achieve our target for reducing the backlog by 10%, however, we still have huge numbers for 2009. We have 55 participants in this drive. If everyone just clears 2 articles each, we will reduce the backlog by a further 110 articles. If everyone can just do 3 articles, we will hit 165. If you have yet to work on any articles and have rollover words, remember that you do need to copyedit at least a couple of articles in this drive for your previous rollover to be valid for the next drive. There are many very small articles that will take less than 5-10 minutes to copyedit. Use ] to find them. Let's all concentrate our firepower on the first three months of 2009 as we approach the end of this final drive for the year.

| Hello, Lihaas. Remember to check the talk page for controversial topics such as Pedophilia before altering definitions of those topics. Most of the time, the leads (intros) of such articles have been extensively discussed and worked out on the talk page. This is the case for the lead of the Pedophilia article. "Child sexual abuse" is in the distinguish tag because that is the act, while pedophilia is about the mental (what goes on in the mind) in relation to the act. Child sexual abuse is a common aspect of pedophilia, and is largely what pedophilia is about, yes, but they are not the same thing. Some child sexual abusers are not even pedophiles, as the article makes clear. | |||
| Also, describing pedophilia as "child friendship" in the lead is highly controversial, as many pedophiles actually describe the relationship that way and believe it to only be about friendship and that they are not hurting the child. This is why I reverted you. | |||
| As for your OR and synthesis concerns, I did not mean to revert that, and it would be best that you bring that up (what you meant by that) on the talk page. ] (]) 17:47, 12 December 2010 (UTC) | |||

| == Plural of "fish" == | |||
| Hi, | |||
| I saw you modified the ] article, replacing every plural "fishes" with "fish". | |||
| However, I think that writing "fishes" is correct too. | |||
| Here I copy a sentence from the article ] : | |||
| "And the word "fish" itself is also troublesome, being generally used as a plural when in the context of food, but forming a regular plural otherwise (thus "three lots of fish and chips", "the industry landed 5,200 tonnes of fish in 1998" but "the order of fishes", "the miracle of the loaves and fishes", the phrase "sleep with the fishes"); usage does vary, however, so that for example the phrase "five fish in an aquarium" might to another native user be "five fishes in an aquarium". Using the plural form fish could imply many individual fish(es) of the same species while fishes could imply many individual fish(es) of differing species." | |||
| Here, we were talking about several groups of "fish", so this writing is correct, no ? | |||
| Besides, I'm not a native english, so feel free to contradict me. | |||
| PS : As a biologist, I'm in favor not to use the word "fish" at all, but I'm a little extreme in that way ;) | |||

Canadian articles can use both date formats
Despite the fact that Canada is a Commonwealth country, articles related to Canada may use either format, per MOS:DATE TIES (Articles related to Canada may use either format consistently.). Thus, we use the first date format used in this article, which in this case was mdy. Thus, per WP:RETAIN (The date format chosen by the first major contributor...), there is no good reason to switch the article to dmy dates. Canuck 22:01, October 22, 2014 (UTC)

Edit warring
Your recent editing history at 2016 attack in Nice shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. - 02:38, 15 July 2016 LjL (talk | contribs)
Peer review newsletter #1
Introduction
Hello to all! I do not intend to write a regular peer review newsletter but there does occasionally come a time when those interested in contributing to peer review should be contacted, and now is one. I've mailed this out to everyone on the peer review volunteers list, and some editors that have contributed to past discussions. Apologies if I've left you off or contacted you and you didn't want it. Next time there is a newsletter / mass message it will be opt in (here), I'll talk about this below - but first:
- THANK YOU! I want to thank you for your contributions and for volunteering on the list to help out at peer review. Thank you!
- Peer review is useful! It's good to have an active peer review process. This is often the way that we help new or developing editors understand our ways, and improve the quality of their editing - so it fills an important and necessary gap between the teahouse (kindly introduction to our Wikiways) and GA and FA reviews (specific standards uphelp according to a set of quality criteria). And we should try and improve this process where possible (automate, simplify) so it can be used and maintained easily.
Updates
.jpg)
It can get quite lonely tinkering with peer review...,_160906,_ako.jpg)
With a bit of effort we can renovate the place to look like this!
Update #1: the peer review volunteers list is changing
The list is here in case you've forgotten: WP:PRV. Kadane has kindly offered to create a bot that will ping editors on the volunteers list with unanswered reviews in their chosen subject areas every so often. You can choose the time interval by changing the "contact" parameter. Options are "never", "monthly", "quarterly", "halfyearly", and "annually". For example:
{{PRV|JohnSmith|History of engineering|contact=monthly}}- if placed in the "History" section, JohnSmith will receive an automatic update every month about unanswered peer reviews relating to history.{{PRV|JaneSmith|Mesopotamian geography, Norwegian fjords|contact=annually}}- if placed in the "Geography" section, JaneSmith will receive an automatic update every yearly about unanswered peer reviews in the geography area.
We can at this stage only use the broad peer review section titles to guide what reviews you'd like, but that's better than nothing! You can also set an interest in multiple separate subject areas that will be updated at different times.
Update #2: a (lean) WikiProject Peer review
I don't think we need a WikiProject with a giant bureaucracy nor all sorts of whiz-bang features. However over the last few years I've found there are times when it would have been useful to have a list of editors that would like to contribute to discussions about the peer review process (e.g. instructions, layout, automation, simplification etc.). Also, it can get kind of lonely on the talk page as I am (correct me if I'm wrong) the only regular contributor, with most editors moving on after 6 - 12 months.
So, I've decided to create "WikiProject Peer review". If you'd like to contribute to the WikiProject, or make yourself available for future newsletters or contact, please add yourself to the list of members.
Update #3: advertising
We plan to do some advertising of peer review, to let editors know about it and how to volunteer to help, at a couple of different venues (Signpost, Village pump, Teahouse etc.) - but have been waiting until we get this bot + WikiProject set up so we have a way to help interested editors make more enduring contributions. So consider yourself forewarned!
And... that's it!
I wish you all well on your Wikivoyages, Tom (LT) (talk) 00:31, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
