Yes, but...

Yes, but... is it right?

Old sources

This editor believes that ^{[obsolete source]} should be used more often across Wikipedia. A lot of old books are readily accessible on the internet. Is it because they have been superseded by later works based on developments in the field?

@ThoughtIdRetired: Possibly, but just as likely because the old books are out of copyright. I have seen at least a few newer books that rely heavily on older books, some to the point of nearly copying from an older book wholesale. FWIW. Using a ping because this is a rather old entry on this page. Donner60 (talk) 07:59, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

Looking at academic works, when a newer author is using material from an old or out-of-copyright source, they are using their subject knowledge to determine the appropriateness of the content. In other words: is this still accepted knowledge/opinion? A wikipedia editor, doing the same thing, would be guilty of WP:OR. A good example of this is ^[1] Hourani is often cited by modern authors, because some aspects of this work are still the current thinking. However, his account of where the Lateen sail originated is totally wrong (and it is prominent in the book). The problem is that a Wikipedia editor may spot that Hourani is widely cited and presume that 100% of the book is OK as a source. Quite obviously, it is not. (Some discussion of the change in understanding of the history of the lateen sail is at https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1095-9270.2008.00213.x . Others working in the field tackle the subject from the other end, and show that Square rig was used in Indian Ocean craft until the (from memory) 10th or 11th centuries AD. Jewel of Muscat touches on this subject.) ThoughtIdRetired _TIR 08:47, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

People will criticise you for going off on a tangent....

but those who don't go off on tangents keep going round in circles.

Things I wish I could remember without having to look them up

Quotations

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon him not understanding it."Upton Sinclair

"There is almost no human action or decision that cannot be made to look more flawed and less sensible in the misleading light of hindsight." Anthony Hidden QC, during the inquiry into the Clapham rail disaster

"Formerly, when religion was strong and science weak, men mistook magic for medicine; now, when science is strong and religion weak, men mistake medicine for magic." Thomas Szasz

"They never taste who always drink;
They always talk, who never think." Matthew Prior

"Arbores serit diligens agricola, quarum aspiciet baccam ipse nunquam —
The industrious husbandman plants trees, not one berry of which he will ever see." Cicero

"By exertion too long continued, the mind as well as the body becomes enervated, and incapable of enjoyment; as it has been known in some, who, travelling through Borrowdale in a morning, would not overlook the most trifling object; yet, in the latter part of the same day, have passed the most interesting scenes on Wast Water, without making any other inquiry than, “How far is it to the inn?”"^[2]

“An expert is someone who has made all the mistakes that can be made, in a narrow field.”— Niels Bohr

“True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing”—Socrates

“The extent to which beliefs are based on evidence is very much less than believers suppose.”—Bertrand Russell

“...being born in a stable does not make a man a horse.”—Daniel O'Connell, speaking about the Duke of Wellington

“There must be a beginning of any great matter, but the continuing unto the end, until it be thoroughly finished, yields the true glory.” — Francis Drake, quoted by Peter Scott in The Battle of the Narrow Seas: The History of Light Coastal Forces in the Channel and North Sea 1939-1945 Perhaps a useful approach for a Wikipedia editor embarking on the improvement of an article.

Henry Ford quote – “When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the aeroplane takes off against the wind, not with it.”

Tony Benn Five questions to the powerful: “What power have you got? Where did you get it from? In whose interests do you exercise it? To whom are you accountable? And how can we get rid of you?”

Military History

"...the normal frontage for a division fully supported by artillery is 5 to 8 miles..."

Other stuff

" Life rafts clearly failed to provide the safe refuge which many crews expected. Seven lives were lost in incidents associated with rafts of which three were directly attributable to the failure of the raft and the yachts which these seven people abandoned were subsequently found afloat and towed to harbour. However 14 lives were saved in incidents in which survivors took to rafts from yachts which have not been recovered. Many crews used rafts successfully to transfer from yachts to helicopters or other vessels. It is asking a great deal of any very small craft to expect it to provide safe refuge in conditions which overwhelm a large yacht but this is what life rafts are expected to do."^[3]

The Life of Captain James Cook: James Cook, justifying the conversion of the schooner HMS Grenfell to a brig, mentions the better control that he would have over a brig versus a schooner. He sees a brig as having many advantages, with manoeuvrability being one of them.^[105]^: 82

"Reid also makes interesting and valuable observations that may not be widely-understood and accepted, but are nevertheless accurate. He points out that, contrary to popular modern misconceptions, schooners were not considered more weatherly, let alone faster than square-riggers by those who operated them. He gives the example of Lieut. James Cook who was given a schooner for his survey of newly-acquired territories in Canada, but requested permission to re-rig her as a brig to improve weatherliness and maneuverability in restricted waters. Few historians, if any, have had this insight, and Dr Reid is to be applauded for locating and including this information (p. 210). In parenthesis, one could observe that Captain Marryat also believed brigs to be faster and more weatherly than schooners, in his novel Percival Keene. Marryat served as midshipman under Cochrane, and is a reliable source" ^[106]^[107]

spreadsheets to Wikipedia table

Is there an easy way of importing a simple Excel spreadsheet into a table in Wikipedia? I will shortly have 100 lines of a four column spreadsheet that analyses the citation and informational footnote style of a sample of featured articles (the results are a little surprising – so much for consistency of citation style within an article!) Thanks, ThoughtIdRetired (talk) 09:33, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Yes. Just copy-paste it in VisualEditor. (I tested this with Google Sheets, but it should work while copying from Excel as well. If not, just upload it to Google Drive first). – SD0001 (talk) 10:21, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

If that doesn't work you can just use an excel formula to generate the wikitext for the table rows

e.g. formula for e1: =CONCAT("|-\n|",A1,"||",B1,"||",C1,"||",D1)

I may have the syntax slightly off, but that demostrates the idea. This is how I usually do it. — Jts1882 | talk 10:32, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

There's also an excel2wiki tool on Toolforge, which seems to work fine as well. --rchard2scout (talk) 11:04, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

In addition to copy-pasting, you can also drag-and-drop a .csv or .tsv file into the visual editor. It's a bit of a secret feature. Matma Rex talk 16:41, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

For future reference: Help:Tables covers copying and pasting into Visual Editor (or dragging a .csv file to it) and the Toolforge link. Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 204 § Excel to Wikipedia tables has a more detailed step-by-step about using Excel to generate the desired wikitext. isaacl (talk) 18:01, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
