The removal of the entire 'Works' section from WIKI entry Seta Dadoyan, scholar...
editDear 1AmNobody24, as per our previous talks, the issue is the removal of the entire section on 'Works' from the WIKI entry on Seta Dadoyan, an "Armenian historian, scholar..." The reason was explained as the section being too long. I totally understand the concern, and it is absolutely legitimate. As discussed, I sent you a very abbreviated one page of all published works, books and few articles, with the expectation that we would pursue the effort to restore my 'works'.
The entry on Seta Dadoyan still stands mutilated, a scholar, and a prominent one at that - with 13 major books and dozens of articles - also a painter, seems strange.
The object is now to find a way to restore the article with a brief section on my "works'. Since all the items there are published by major publishers, there can be no issue of so-called "sources." I will send that page to you anytime.
Also, while we are in this subject, and I greatly appreciate your professionalism about these matters, there are other missing matters in the entire entry, I have no idea who the author is. I suppose WIKI is precisely the venue to highlight the specifities of any subject/episode/person. How do you deal with these matters?
I very much look forward to hearing from you, a very incomplete entry on Seta Dadoyan should not persist long.
Many thanks,

- Hi Seta dadoyan, the best point to start would be to create a complete list of works in your sandbox, sorting it by type (book (book series), articles). After that we take a look which ones can be considered the most notable ones. Since you know considerably more about Seta Dadoyan then I do, it makes sense for you to do this part alone and I then help on the second part of figuring out the notability. Nobody (talk) 15:28, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, 1Nobody 24, I just want to make sure that as per your advice, this morning NY time 12:00, I did send you a complete list of publications in Word and PDF versions (even though the PDF in turn looked like Word in the sandbox. This is for you to kindly "figure out the notablility." I will ask you to please share your edition, if you see it appropriate.
- Please confirm receipt of the material sent about 8 hours ago, and if it came through in good form. I may send the material as attachment, if you wish to provide an address.
- Many thanks! Seta dadoyan (talk) 23:49, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Seta, I've moved the list to your sandbox and started to improve it's layout, feel free to take a look there. It might take some time until I'm finished with it since I currently don't have much time to edit due to IRL responsibilities, but I'll do my best. Nobody (talk) 05:23, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi 1AmNobody24,
- So nice of you to follow up this matter! We are on track, thank you. I just had a look at the sandbox.
- Looking forward to finally having a decent entry worthy of WIKIPEDIA.
- Best,

- Hi 1AmNobody24,
- It has been a while to our last conversation (July 25), I was going through a serious life threatening health crisis, that ended in major surgery two weeks ago. I am returning to normalcy, and thought again of my mutilated and partial WIKI entry. Surely you were very kind to begin work on the "Works" part. What shows in the entry is still remotely representative of the bare facts about me, I don't even know who wrote that piece, probably an average, not too informed individual. Anyway, compared to colleagues' entries, mine was has always been the most primitive. When I tried to suggest a full bibliography, I was severely punished ...
- I was thinking: may be it is time for an overall review and makeover. What makes me a most frequented and quoted authority is the total novelty of my historiography, aesthetics, and Near Eastern also interactive Armenian studies. These aspects have been absent from the beginning.
- I suppose in view of this situation, and in all fairness, WIKIPEDIA could reconsider this fact. AS a WIKI editor, you may want to rewrite the entry, of course after being provided with all the necessary sources in support. I believe that just making a selection of the existing "works" -13 of which are scholarly volumes - will not improve the entry as it should. If you have other alternatives for coming up with a representative and informative entry, please let me know. I very much look forward to having your response, and thanks in advance.
- Best,

- Hi Seta good to hear your doing alright. I understand that it can be frustrating if the article of you isn't up to par with your peers. But sadly that happens a lot as people write mostly about things they're knowledegable about and I'm not sure if there's an active wikipedian working on armenian historians. And while I understand that this might be a time-sensitive issue for you, but others might not see it that way. I'll keep the article on my watchlist and maybe I'll get time to look into it, but it's not my area of expertise so no promises. Nobody (talk) 06:38, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, and yes, I can see the complexity of the situation. Can you suggest someone or a "body" whose area of expertise it is to write an entry? I would appreciate your assistance. In the meantime, I look forward to having a section on WORKS at least.
- Best,

Re: Edit filter report (Talk: Kmart)
editYou completely misunderstood the false positive report. I was talking about the talk page, not the main article. I was trying to add a comment saying that the main article should, instead of saying Long Island, refer to New York state (or both). And how is it overlink when it is substitution of one term for another in the article intro?
The fact that I couldn't even post in the talk page is stupid. 2600:1012:A021:8AD:F8BE:E19:F645:43DE (talk) 14:09, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- I understood what you meant, but the post would've been told that per MOS:OVERLINK:
...major examples of the following categories should generally not be linked:
- Settlements or municipalities (e.g., New Delhi; New York City, or just New York if the city context is already clear; London, if the context rules out London, Ontario; Southeast Asia)
- How is it overlink when it is the first mention of the locations when they are introduced in the article lede? And when the suggestion is to replace a term that is already linked with another? The links are not even the point anyway; the suggestion is that (linked or not) New York state is more appropriate than Long Island.
- And if there was a valid response it could have just been replied to in the talk page, where such a suggestion belongs, so that other editors can also respond if there was something to say to it. 172.56.232.238 (talk) 17:02, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- There's an ongoing sockpuppettry issue on the article's talk page, which is why an edit filter blocks edits from most anon IPs, and will continue to do so. OhNoitsJamie Talk 18:24, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- I really liked how you declined yet another edit filter report after User:Ohnoitsjamie already approved it (made the necessary edit that was requested), and cited overlink as the reason despite being told multiple times that you are misunderstanding the issue: it's replacing one already linked term with another in the lede, and the links are not even the point. Complete facepalm. 172.56.232.238 (talk) 17:11, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
Tech News: 2024-35
editLatest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Feature news
Administrators can now test the temporary accounts feature on test2wiki. This was done to allow cross-wiki testing of temporary accounts, for when temporary accounts switch between projects. The feature was enabled on testwiki a few weeks ago. No further temporary account deployments are scheduled yet. Temporary Accounts is a project to create a new type of user account that replaces IP addresses of unregistered editors which are no longer made public. Please share your opinions and questions on the project talk page.
- Later this week, editors at wikis that use FlaggedRevs (also known as "Pending Changes") may notice that the indicators at the top of articles have changed. This change makes the system more consistent with the rest of the MediaWiki interface. [1]
Bugs status
- Editors who use the 2010 wikitext editor, and use the Character Insert buttons, will no longer experience problems with the buttons adding content into the edit-summary instead of the edit-window. You can read more about that, and 26 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
Project updates
Please review and vote on Focus Areas, which are groups of wishes that share a problem. Focus Areas were created for the newly reopened Community Wishlist, which is now open year-round for submissions. The first batch of focus areas are specific to moderator workflows, around welcoming newcomers, minimizing repetitive tasks, and prioritizing tasks. Once volunteers have reviewed and voted on focus areas, the Foundation will then review and select focus areas for prioritization.
- Do you have a project and are willing to provide a three (3) month mentorship for an intern? Outreachy is a twice a year program for people to participate in a paid internship that will start in December 2024 and end in early March 2025, and they need mentors and projects to work on. Projects can be focused on coding or non-coding (design, documentation, translation, research). See the Outreachy page for more details, and a list of past projects since 2013.
