The following is a shortened list of monastic houses in Greater Manchester for pog experiments by TOF for (Sir/King) John's review, England.
Click on pog to go to linked article, as per normal or old/existing practice, and new click on name to interlink to this pages entry.

Hi There, I've just taken a look at the List of monastic houses in England and scrolled down to the Greater Manchester entry - you might just want to do the same before rolling it out to the other counties. JohnArmagh (talk) 13:24, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi JohnArmagh, I list these in a kind of process order.
Can you review the following, especially my terminology etc on the lead sections of;

1. Kersal Priory
2. Marland Grange
3. Warburton Priory

Please then review the List of monastic houses in Greater Manchester article, where I amended;

1. The caption for the location map, where I changed "Locations of monastic houses in Greater Manchester" to "Approximate locations of monastic houses in Greater Manchester", (this was also replicated on each individual article).
2. Added the pogging # function.
3. Linked, (as per standard practice) to individual article on both pogs and table entries.
4. The transclusion notation.

Please then review the List of monastic houses in England#Greater Manchester where I amended;

1. The lead section (for this section only).
2. The tranclusion notation.

I will rest on any further amendments or rolling this out onto any other counties until your complete review (and if required a further review by other interested parties), I will then action any and all amendments required for the above only on that advice and then if needed allow a further review period.Cheers.The Original Filfi (talk) 00:34, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi Admins and or Editor Guru's, A weird one for you.... and as before, possibly a tricky one to brighten or ruin your day, I hope it is the former
Is it possible to find which pages/articles have a width property that extends beyond the normal page width? or to re-phrase, Is it possible to find which pages/articles have the need for two scroll bars, both the standard and acceptable vertical scroll bar and the much less desirable horizontal scroll bar? Thank you. The Original Filfi (talk) 12:42, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Short answer: No. For example, depending on how narrow your screen or your browser window screen is, I believe every page with an image can be made to show a horizontal scrollbar. And those are not the only ones. Huon (talk) 23:24, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi Huon, thank you for the answer, I though that may be the case. Really I was only looking at the standard page width i.e. wikipedias standard article page width vs outside of those parameters. I have seen some lovely articles with "in-page" scroll bars, showing panorama's, the periodic table (large) etc and I have no issue with any of those, I was more focusing on;

1. Incorrectly formatted tables that exceed those dimensions.
2. Incorrectly formatted no-wiki text that exceed those dimensions.
3. Incorrectly formatted reference entries that exceed those dimensions.

and the like of the above. I was going to try to reformat, if possible, trying to improve the ease of navigation of those articles. Obviously not all articles that exceed these dimension are necessarily incorrectly formatted or indeed that a suitable solution exist, as in the F1 tables, they give a lot of information and there may not be a better way to provide and display this.
Kind regards
The Original Filfi (talk) 03:23, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi The Original Filfi. FYI, I have reverted your changes to Jordan 197, returning the article to the WP:FORMULA1 standard format, for consistency with the 400-or-so other F1 car articles. Regards. DH85868993 (talk) 13:36, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi DH85868993, just to clarify, are you telling me that none of the 400 or so articles (including WP:FORMULA1 fit into the standard page width? That they all extend beyond the normal margins, and that this is acceptable? To read these on a portable device would be extra intensive and quite cumbersome I feel.
I also note that Jordan 197 includes a tyre column which is not in the standard F1 format and that the key is not shown. As a potential part-solution if the "Entrant" column included the engine the seasons table would be only mm's over normal page width, addin a or some "small" tags could solve the rest of this issue.
Your though?
The Original Filfi (talk) 14:32, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Update, just saw the tyre column, still do not like this format, I can see its uses and certainly agree standardising is best practice, but to not fit to page seems a bad way to go. Cheers.The Original Filfi (talk) 14:43, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

The article Ancient cities and towns visited by Hsüan-tsang has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Has no sources. Hsuan-tsang may be notable, but why is it important to know the towns he went to?

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.

Since when is a valid parameter of {{cite web}} superfluous? Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:31, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi @Walter Görlitz:, sorry for delay in replying, in this case with no valid url or web address having an access date for a non existent item is both false information and superfluous, this also then lists this in an error Cat, my view is that once a true url/address is populated a new access date should be added as of the date it is verified as working. The Original Filfi (talk) 09:48, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

I've reviewed your last edit which introduced an error in conversion of a date from ISO to mdy format. I've now corrected this. Reviewing MOS:DATEFORMAT we can see that ISO is an acceptable format for refs/tables, therefore I'm unclear about the basis for performing conversion, could you point me to it? —Sladen (talk) 02:19, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Because the US-Military use both NATO (dmy) and US-customary (mdy) dates formats it's not possible to do an automated conversion when both numbers are less-than-or-equal to twelve. This is probably why these weren't already converted. An obviously ambiguous date is better than an non-obviously incorrect date. I've corrected a bunch these automated edits, by checking the cited source and the style used on that particular website: as well as one where the pattern matcher failed to notice the year having five digits. Please could you work through the remaining few dozen so that the burden is not placed entirely up on other editors to clean-up afterwards. —Sladen (talk) 03:47, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

This was extremely laborious to correct . Please could you do a similar rescue + repair job to as the error-rate is probably similar (without needing to check the URLs, I can see an |accessdate= apparently preceding its |date=. —Sladen (talk) 05:15, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Tol, I obviously knew that the article Big lie existed, I referenced it and placed a note in my first edit summary. The point of this article is many-fold, including; 1. Firstly and most importantly, the EXACT phrase and topic "The big lie" needs to be near the top of the google search and it needs to be exact. 2. The Trump history dates back to at least 2016 which is yet to be added. and 3. kind of continuing from two, the vastness of usage by Trump deserves a stand-alone article to be able to list the significant usages. I cannot accept your response as anything other than cursory.The Original Filfi (talk) 21:59, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello! I don't believe that the term "big lie" specifically in reference to the 2020 United States presidential election is notable. I recommend adding content to the existing page on the general term, big lie, or at Attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election#Refusal to accept 2020 electoral loss. That you think that this "needs to be near the top of the google search" is troubling — long-term significance is more important than current news coverage when determining primary topics, see Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Determining a primary topic. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 22:14, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi again Tol, thank you for another cursory reply, please googe exact by a date range, 3.4mil results 90% to do with Trump, how notable do you want??22:18, 11 October 2021 (UTC)The Original Filfi (talk) 22:20, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

I value conciseness. Again, primary topics are not biased towards recent events. It would be problematic as an article about the refusal to accept election results because the title is not neutral, and I think it would also be problematic as an article about the phrase in the context of the election because there isn't enough content distinct from big lie to justify its own article. If you disagree, you're welcome to move it to mainspace yourself. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 23:41, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi again Tol, This is not imo a current event, it is a tactic used by trump that mirrors Hitler, it stared in 2016 or prior, it is ongoing and will continue to go on for another (at least) 3 years, it has already had and may have huge impact for democracy, world security etc. FYI: 1. I did a google search term comparison, please find link to that url> https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=trump%20big%20lie,The%20big%20lie , note "The big lie" way out-reaches "Trump big lie", for completeness (over conciseness) "big lie" slightly over-reaches "TBL" but does not have wiki near the top 2. Conciseness is not anywhere near the same as cursory. 3. I am terrified that this ongoing issue and usage will damn the world to Trump's erratic and divisive politics. 4. Every false audit, every bit of pressure trump has already applied, every failed court case more than distinctly justifies its own article so these can be detailed. thoughtsThe Original Filfi (talk) 03:19, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello! One cannot know ahead of time if something will have long-lasting historical effects, and predicting the future isn't really relevant. What is relevant is usage and long-term significance. If you wish to add to Trump's misinformation on the election, you can do so at Veracity of statements by Donald Trump#2020 election. If you wish to add to the usage of the term "big lie" in reference to such misinformation, you can do so at Big lie#Trump's false claim of a stolen election. The primary topic of "big lie" is still the term itself, especially as used by Hitler. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 03:29, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi The Original Filfi, I saw that you reached out on my talks page to add another npov on this matter. Personally, I would advise that if you would like to continue developing this, pursuing a route of maybe "utilization/adaptation of the big lie by the Trump campaign". Thus you can develop a comparative and distinct article on the topic (though no guarantees it would be approved). This would also avoid speculation and your personal opinions on the matter, and rather approach it from an objective and sourceable perspective. This is an interesting matter since it mixes a lot of history, trump, and then also attempts to deal with further developments, so it is quite a hard topic to cover. Be careful, and I look forward to seeing where you take it! Willthehelpfuleditor (talk) 12:40, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Points to note:

They did not improve this article

They did not "make an edit" they reverted with spurious reasoning

They removed sourced content

They deleted the truth that is playing out now, hence both its relevance and need to be noted

Asking to ensure no bias or COI in their removal of content is not a stretch

Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.

Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.
