Proposed deletion of List of radiata animal orders

Notice

The article List of radiata animal orders has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

'Radiata' is not comparable to 'Bilateria' as it is not a clade, is obsolete, and historically was defined in different ways at different times, so 'formerly classified as Radiata' gives an undefinable list which cannot correctly be combined with modern classes, subclasses, and orders, it's totally misleading.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Chiswick Chap (talk) 04:16, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Hi RichardWeiss, thanks for letting me know you intend to address the issues. However, I do not believe they are addressable, for the reasons given in the quote above. That makes clear that in my view the article is irreparable, since it combines a vague, multiply-defined historical grouping, known for a century to be unsatisfactory, with modern taxa that are not compatible with the obsolete historical group(s). The article therefore has no definable scope, and is constructed on unsound principles. Rather than rush straight to AfD, however, I'd be curious to know how you intend to fix the article? Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:40, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to trouble you again. I've added a table of alternative definitions to Radiata, which I think says pretty much all that is needed on the topic. The varying definitions at phylum level shown in the table illustrate exactly why I think the idea of creating a list at (modern) order level to be a non-starter.

Carles Puigdemont

About your recent edit in which you placed an NPOV template. Please consider posting on the article talk page to explain your concern. This is recommended by Template:NPOV#When to use. Since you have made a similar edit on about fifteen articles it seems that the time is ripe for a discussion. A possible location would be at WT:SPAIN. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 15:07, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I opened the thread at Puigdemont within 5 mins of tagging. WP:SPAIN may be the better place. This edit by User:Hispalois was the first, I simply followed in their footsteps with the subsequent 15 or so, and got reverted at Puigdemont, hence the tag and thread there. ♫ RichardWeiss talk contribs 16:16, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

ScienceLad123

Hi RichardWeiss, I noticed that you in good faith reverted a number of edits by an IP who seemed to be wikihounding ScienceLad123. Thanks for that, as it does look like the IP's reverts were out of line. However, it turns out that ScienceLad123 is actually a sock of long-term abusive editor Shingling334, who is blocked from editing Wikipedia, whether their edits are helpful or not. I wanted to let you know that I will be reverting them again on that basis. In particular, the change of the photos in the Istanbul Airport article has already been made several times, all by multiple socks of the same blocked user, so I'd ask you not to reinstate it. If you feel strongly that any of the edits should stand, please get consensus on the article's talk page to reinstate it, and/or ping me about it... --IamNotU (talk) 22:02, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

MoS does not outright prohibit linking in quotes, it says to use them conservatively, and "link only to targets that correspond to the meaning clearly intended by the quote's author". Woke is a prominent term but somewhat obscure in this context. ViperSnake151  Talk  19:12, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Valtònyc, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Público (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Deletion discussion about Rural poverty in Canada

Hello, RichardWeiss,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Arthistorian1977 and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Rural poverty in Canada should be deleted. Your comments are welcome over Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rural poverty in Canada .

You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not ballot-polls. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Arthistorian1977}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

AfroCine: Join the Months of African Cinema this October!

Greetings!

After a successful first iteration of the “Months of African Cinema” last year, we are happy to announce that it will be happening again this year, starting from October 1! In the 2018 edition of the contest, about 600 Wikipedia articles were created in at least 8 languages. There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons, which brought the total number of wikimedia pages created during the contest to over 1,000.

The AfroCine Project welcomes you to October, the first out of the two months which have been dedicated to creating and improving content that centre around the cinema of Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. Join us in this global edit-a-thon, by helping to create or expand articles which are connected to this scope. Also remember to list your name under the participants section.

On English Wikipedia, we would be recognizing participants in the following manner:

  • Overall winner (1st, 2nd, 3rd places)
  • Diversity winner
  • Gender-gap fillers

For further information about the contest, the recognition categories and how to participate, please visit the contest page here. For further inquiries, please leave comments on the contest talkpage or on the main project talkpage. See you around :).--Jamie Tubers (talk) 00:50, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
