Marxists.org

This site does not appear to meet WP:RS. There are some documents that are out of copyright and should be linked to Gutenberg or Wikisource, not to this site; there are also essays that qualify as primary self-published sources. In every case we should be using reliable independent secondary sources instead. Just exactly as we should not be using mirrors of libertarian economic texts on the "Library of Econmics and Liberty", a libertarian think-tank. Guy (Help!) 11:14, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

I disagree that MIA is unreliable—it is, as its name suggests, an archive, and a fairly large (in terms not just of its collection but its staff) and well-established one. But even if it is unreliable, since it is the only source for the claims in the article, it should be replaced, not removed. (This is in line with the recommendations made by the content guideline you linked to.) If you still feel that MIA is so unreliable as to be unsuitable for use as a source for the basic publication data of the Deutsch–Französische Jahrbücher, even on an interim basis, then I invite you to start a discussion at WP:RSN. —Psychonaut (talk) 11:37, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

@JzG: I see you're now engaging in mass removal of MIA references from other articles. I've reverted these edits for now. Before making such drastic and wide-ranging edits across the encyclopedia, please first seek consensus on WP:RSN. —Psychonaut (talk) 11:41, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

"Mass" as in seven. Every time anyone says "mass removal" - at least to date -it has been someone supporting a website that we should not be using, such as a quackery site or a predatory journal. Feel free to show that's not the case this time. Guy (Help!) 13:02, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Were you really planning on stopping at seven? (Given the response to your previous RSN post on the matter, I'm a bit taken aback that you thought it was a good idea to remove even these.) —Psychonaut (talk) 16:36, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Langguth Logo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Langguth Logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:34, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you voted on

This is to inform you that an attempt is being made to overturn an RfC that you voted on (2 RfCs, actually, one less than six months ago and another a year ago). The new RfC is at:

Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#RfC: Allow private schools to be characterized as non-affiliated as well as religious, in infobox?

Specifically, it asks that "religion = none" be allowed in the infobox.

The first RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:

• 15 June 2015 RfC: RfC: Religion infobox entries for individuals that have no religion.

The result of that RfC was "unambiguously in favour of omitting the parameter altogether for 'none' " and despite the RfC title, additionally found that "There's no obvious reason why this would not apply to historical or fictional characters, institutions etc.", and that nonreligions listed in the religion entry should be removed when found "in any article".

The second RfC that this new RfC is trying to overturn is:

• 31 December 2015 RfC: RfC: Religion in infoboxes.

The result of that RfC was that the "in all Wikipedia articles, without exception, nonreligions should not be listed in the Religion= parameter of the infobox.".

Note: I am informing everyone who commented on the above RfCs, whether they supported or opposed the final consensus. --Guy Macon (talk) 03:35, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Venus Envy

Just a puzzled observation, regarding this edit: While it's understandable that you were duped by the deceptive bluelink in the entry for the Shannon McKelden novel, due to not looking closely, the fact that the link to the Seattle band was red was hard to overlook. I can't find any evidence that there was ever an article for the band, so there is no obvious explanation for your mistake. (Moreover, the disambiguator "(U.S. band)" is against MOS, and should be "(US band)", or rather, "(American band)".) I have now removed both. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 16:57, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Caucuses of the United States Congress by term

A tag has been placed on Category:Caucuses of the United States Congress by term requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

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 "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 deleted 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.

WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Daniel Murphy (computer scientist), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page TECO.

Can I contact you?

I saw you are one or the main editor behind the "vinpocetin" article here on Wikipedia. I'd like to ask you about this drug. I am under medical supervision and using it combined with methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta) to treat some debilitating symptoms I have been struggling for many years (short term memory issues, attention, slow thought speed, etc).

Do you have an email or other form of contact so we can talk better? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clabatmill (talk • contribs) 15:53, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia isn't the right place to obtain medical advice, especially since in most cases you have no idea who the editors are and no way of verifying or assessing their medical qualifications. If you have a question about your use of this drug, then please direct it to your doctor. If you just have a general question about the content of the article, you can ask on Talk:Vinpocetine. —Psychonaut (talk) 17:35, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
