Wikipedia translation of the week: 2023-48

The winner this Translation of the week is fr:Zanskari (en:Zaniskari) Please be bold and help translate this article! The Zaniskari or Zanskari is a breed of small mountain horse or pony from Ladakh, in northern India. It is named for the Zanskar valley or region in Kargil district. It is similar to the Spiti breed of Himachal Pradesh, but is better adapted to work at high altitude. Like the Spiti, it shows similarities to the Tibetan breeds of neighbouring Tibet. It is of medium size, and is often grey in colour. The breed is considered endangered, as there are only a few hundred alive today, and a conservation programme has been started at Padum, Zanskar, in the Kargil district of Ladakh.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2023-52

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Plant blindness (fr:Cécité botanique) (de:Pflanzenblindheit) Please be bold and help translate this article! Plant blindness is an informally-proposed form of cognitive bias, which in its broadest meaning, is a human tendency to ignore plant species. This includes such phenomena as not noticing plants in the surrounding environment, not recognizing the importance of plant life to the whole biosphere and to human affairs, a philosophical view of plants as an inferior form of life to animals and/or the inability to appreciate the unique features or aesthetics of plants. Related terms include plant‐neglect, zoo-centrism, and zoo‐chauvinism.

Request for Undeletion Discussion on Kourage Beatz NSI

Hello @Eptalon

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to discuss the recent deletion of the "Kourage Beatz NSI" page, which you were involved in on January 2, 2024, at 08:38 (UTC). The deletion reason specified was "Recreation of a deleted page with the same or similar content (QD G4)," with prior deletions citing issues such as advertising (QD G11) and creation by a user evading a block or ban (G5).

I understand the reasons behind the deletions and appreciate the effort in maintaining Wikipedia's standards. I am reaching out to express my intention to address the concerns raised and contribute a revised version of the page that aligns with Wikipedia's guidelines and policies.

I would be grateful if we could engage in a discussion regarding the undeletion of "Kourage Beatz NSI." I am committed to ensuring that the new content will adhere to Wikipedia's standards, be free of advertising, and meet the notability criteria.

Your guidance and feedback on the matter would be highly valued, and I am open to making any necessary adjustments to comply with Wikipedia's policies.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Justinbenji (talk) 21:20, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello there,

The page was deleted after a discussion of a week. If I remember correctly, it was a CV-style page with few/no reliable sources. If such a page then gets created again with similar content, it is likely it will be quick-deleted. Note that a successful Rfd doesn't mean pages can be recreated. For this reason I would suggest you file a request for undeletion, and if that is successful, start from there. Eptalon (talk) 06:17, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, I would nevertheless like to comment:

• This is Simple English Wikipedia, it has somer very specific issues: Articles need to be both accurate, and easy to understand.
• Making articles easy to understand is also about explining well. We have had issues in the past where editzors tried to improve some readabiliy scores, and the article in question was very difficult to understand in the end.
• It might be worthwile to get medicine-related articles into focus, by nominating them to Did you know? or by getting them to Good article status. Both will likely require editors who understand this community though.

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Timurid architecture Please be bold and help translate this article! Timurid architecture was an important stage in the architectural history of Iran and Central Asia during the late 14th and 15th centuries. The Timurid Empire (1370–1507), founded by Timur (d. 1405) and conquering most of this region, oversaw a cultural renaissance. In architecture, the Timurid dynasty patronized the construction of palaces, mausoleums, and religious monuments across the region. Their architecture is distinguished by its grand scale, luxurious decoration in tilework, and sophisticated geometric vaulting. This architectural style, along with other aspects of Timurid art, spread across the empire and subsequently influenced the architecture of other empires from the Middle East to the Indian subcontinent.

It dates from the mid-15th century and is now in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. Most art historians think that Filippo Lippi painted more of the original work, and that it was added to some years after by other artists, as well as including work by assistants in the workshops of both the original masters. It has been known as the Washington Tondo and Cook Tondo after Herbert Cook, and this latter name in particular continues to be used over 50 years after the painting left the Cook collection.

People experience this effect by forgetting what they were going to do, thinking about, or planning upon entering a different room. This is thought to be due to the change in one's physical environment, which is used to distinguish boundaries between remembered events: memories of events encountered in the present environment are more accessible than those beyond it.

The Preventative Coup of November 11 sometimes called the 1955 Brazilian coup d'état or referred to as an "anti-coup" or a "counter-coup" (Portuguese: Novembrada, Movimento de 11 de Novembro, Contragolpe, Golpe Preventivo do Marechal Lott) was a series of military and political events led by Henrique Teixeira Lott that resulted in Nereu Ramos assuming the presidency of Brazil until being peacefully succeeded by Juscelino Kubitschek a few months later. The bloodless coup removed Carlos Luz from the presidency because he was suspected of plotting to prevent Kubitschek from taking office. As a result of the tensions, Brazil had three presidents in the span of a single week.

Hello iptalon relative I want you to read an article about Ramkripalyadavag , what can you do so — Preceding unsigned comment added by Golhdd58 (talk • contribs) 10:25, 13 March 2024, UTC (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Golhdd58 - You can make the article on your own if you’d like. You also should not be canvassing other editors to create this for you, especially since you posted on not one, but two sysop talks. These are also your only edits and a brand new account. If the individual is notable you can create it. I am assuming you are talking about Ram Kripal Yadavag? Thanks - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 11:50, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Assistance please

Hi we have a cat Category:Taxonbars_on_possible_non-taxon_pages that has 3 pages in it that need to be fixed to come out of that cat. I am unsure of how to do this. Would it be an addition to wikidata? Or is there something else? For example, Pseudophilautus adspersus is the scientific name of Sri Lanka bubble-nest frog and it is linked to the right wikidata object.

Ex: Pseudophilautus adspersus on ours has the same taxon bars and infobox as w:Pseudophilautus adspersus and pulls from the same wikidata. I am guessing maybe something with the Module:Taxonbar or the taxonbar whitelist? Thanks - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 04:52, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Those QDs

They were all created by the same IP on the same or close to the same day. I am sure none are notable based on WP:BEFORE. I did not go through all of them interlinked though so I may have missed some. I also could not find them on en wiki.

Talk:Main Page

So it appears that no bot has archived this page in a long time. It appears that my bot was the last to archive per Diff on July 24, 2022 when my bot was active. There are no auto archives since. I asked on the page if Operator had made an exception for some reason and there is no response. Is there a consensus to not archive this page now? I am not allowed to archive anything on wikipedia anymore, so I cannot touch it to archive old topics (ones even over 2 years old which are obvious). Can you find out why/what caused him to not allow it to archive this page please? Thanks and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 06:51, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

The winner this Translation of the week is en:Operation Kraai Please be bold and help translate this article! Operation Kraai (Operation Crow) was a Dutch military offensive against the de facto Republic of Indonesia in December 1948 after negotiations failed. With the advantage of surprise the Dutch managed to capture the Indonesian Republic's temporary capital, Yogyakarta, and seized Indonesian leaders such as de facto Republican President Sukarno. This apparent military success was however followed by guerrilla warfare, while the violation of the Renville Agreement ceasefire diplomatically isolated the Dutch, leading to the Dutch–Indonesian Round Table Conference and recognition of the United States of Indonesia.

Old templates

Hi Eptalon. So we have some older templates that have been deleted on ENWP See Template:2018 FIFA World Cup Group A table vs. ENWP. For this specific one, there are only two articles linking to it. The rest are templates, also deleted. It looks like they had a mass TFD w:Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2022_December_6#FIFA_World_Cup_group_table_templates The reason I am bringing this up is there are 197 templates in Category:Sidebars_with_styles_needing_conversion that I am going to update to the recent versions if they exist and I have access so they use the correct parameters. There TFD is a little confusing to me as it says the result was substitute and delete. I am not sure what they are being substituted with. What are your thoughts on this? While you ponder, I am going to start looking at the others and see what I can do to change them to the newer versions. I will keep a list of any I cannot touch and then post them on AN for someone to import them. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 07:52, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Template:ISO 639 name en

Hi there, Eptalon. This template has been depreciated (see ISO 639 name from code templates on ENWP). Since I am not familiar with the intricate details of this, I wanted to see if you can handle it. Per the TFD, it appears everything went down to just one template, and the rest have been deleted. They sent them all to hit Template:ISO 639 name. On just the Template:ISO 639 name en, there are 3 wikilinks and 19,013 transclusions. Please let me know if you find the solution and what help you would need. Per their TFD, they had ~1300 templates to handle. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 22:00, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

iso 639 is a two or three letter code for a language, plus optionally a code for the script. IIRC, sr-latn is for Serbian or Serbo-Croatian, written in Latin script. Eg. Croatia uses that to write the language,Sr-cryr or sr-cyrl is the same language but in Cyrillic Characters (used in Serbia, for example). Sr is just the language, or the language with the script that is normally used. IIRC, we might even use language variants, en-US us English as it is used in the United states. Given how Ofen it is used, are you sure we should deprecate it, what's the replacement? Eptalon (talk) 22:14, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

They implemented ISO 639 name to handle all of the language codes using the LUA. Where I am normally seeing the template get transcluded on is article talk pages for the This was translated from xx to en. From the TFP If the TfD passes, the plan is to convert all direct "ISO 639 name x" usages to use Template:ISO 639 name.

Issue with wording on RFCU

So all of you say we cannot include IPs to CU. The directly goes against the very top of the page that says we can

CheckUser is the process of checking information about two or more users (including named users and IPs). Special users are able to check if two or more accounts have been used from the same computer. These users also see User agents. This can help them decide if two accounts are related in the way described above. It is also possible to see if a user is editing from an open proxy. On this page, users can request some users or IPs to be checked. Good reasons should be given for why a checkuser is needed; you should provide links which show the questionable edits, etc. Questions should usually be created so that they can be answered by yes or no. Responses will be short in order to comply with Wikipedia privacy policy. Sensitive information (like the IP addresses used by an account) are usually not reported. The results are not always clear, and a decision should not be made only on the basis of checkuser results.

If that is wrong, they it needs to be updated and corrected. If it is correct then statements on simple talk need to striked out and apologized for. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 09:00, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Please look at this policy,

Esp the section about releasing such information. Eptalon (talk) 12:14, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

I am aware, however, it has repeatedly been said to us to not put IP addresses on the RFCU page, however, the wording at the top says "On this page, users can request some users or IPs to be checked" which directly contradicts statements like this one Wikipedia:Simple talk#Checkuser requests "Let me add to that that as checkusers, we are forbidden from linking usernames with IP adresses; we can't comment on IP addresses. So, only named accounts please... Eptalon (talk) 20:13, 8 April 2024 (UTC)Reply" that you made. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 22:49, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I am not a checkuser and am not familiar with the procedures of doing checkuser work. However, could it be that CUs can look into IPs and possibly take action, but just not comment on any of it? -- Auntof6 (talk) 00:53, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

@Auntof6 Yes, they cannot comment due to the privacy and such referenced, however, the issue is just a contradiction in the WP:RFCU header vs. what is being said to us, as referenced. (being told we cannot put IPs up for CU against an account name), when the heading says we can. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 00:55, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

@PotsdamLamb: I understand that. I was asking the person who actually has checkuser rights. Because if they can check but not comment on said check, then it seems that wouldn't be a contradiction: people could ask, but they wouldn't get actual feedback on it. -- Auntof6 (talk) 00:57, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

@Auntof6 That is what I am saying. They have told us they cannot comment on it, which is understandable. I am sure we also all know it as well. The problem is Eptalon made a statement on Simple Talk "Let me add to that that as checkusers, we are forbidden from linking usernames with IP adresses; we can't comment on IP addresses. So, only named accounts please... Eptalon (talk) 20:13, 8 April 2024 (UTC)Reply" So yes it is a contradiction by him saying to only use named accounts, when the header says we can put both usernames and IPs up for checking. If IPs, then yes, they cannot comment on it, however, as has happened, when it goes on the board and we see the IP was blocked with whatever reason, then we know it was correct (depending on who made the block). So while they cannot directly comment on the IP, with a CU blocking it, that is basically a comment, just not said. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 01:02, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

I think the one RfP you just deleted was not a duplicate. They had a different name. It was like the 3rd or 4th word in. I thought they were the same at first glance too. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 09:09, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Voiced dental and alveolar taps and flaps

I’m not sure what to do with this article. The creator has been bringing over a lot of complex articles from ENWP filled with errors like this one and moves on. Thoughts? Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 06:50, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

I am not a linguist, but likely this is a valid topic. I have two concerns, though:

• over here, no one is going to look for it with that title, hopefully there's a simpler term
• If there's on hint at the user trying to simplify (after some time), it would probably fall under 'copied from another WP, little sign of simplification'.

If in doubt, nominate for regular deletion? (Like I did with two articles just a short time ago) - If nothing else, it will show what the community thinks, and an admin can then close it accordingly. Eptalon (talk) 06:59, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

That was my thought. This editor hasn’t been simplifying some of them. I’ll keep an eye on it until tomorrow and see what happens. I don’t know what templates they are trying to call either where it says the BIG BOLD etc. Btw, one of the ones you just deleted was recreated right after you deleted it. Different IP though as it doesn’t show being created previously under that ip. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 07:04, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Do me a favor, and create an RfD, rather than nominating as quick-deletion. This will give us more input, it might also create a precedent for similar cases in the future. Eptalon (talk) 07:06, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Something weird

This IP comes up as a mobile user in Switzerland but they have made a lot of articles (stubs) in less than an hour for someone on a phone. They seem to also be overlapping in the territory of where this editor is at, as well as following me around and working on the same things I am (right after I make a change). The concern is the IP, which I’m not asking you to make any comment on but I am asking you to look into the suspicious behavior please.

Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 07:30, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

That's unlikely (haven't had a look), that IP doesn't doesn't create accounts. Eptalon (talk) 07:33, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Ok. It’s just really suspicious behavior to me. I don’t see it as a proxy on proxyio but I know some bots have created tons of stubs. That’s why I was inquiring. Thanks for looking into it. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 07:38, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
