Kaktovik numerals

Hi, you reverted an edit that I made on the Kaktovik numerals page. The change simply reworded the link to the Eskimo-Aleut language family to more inclusively use the actual names of the relevant language sub-families, namely the Inuit and Yupik languages. If you could help me understand the revert, that would be very much appreciated! Thanks! Dowobeha (talk) 07:04, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi Dowobeha. The change piped an article title to an alternative name. Generally, it is best to stick to article titles, because the same criteria that make for useful titles (recognizability, naturalness, precision, concision, and consistency) also mean they will be the most useful terms for readers. This also stops naming disputes spilling off one particular page and into every page using a particular term. If you think the name should be changed, you should open an WP:RM on the relevant talkpage! Best, CMD (talk) 07:38, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

DYK for Wong Phui Nam

On 19 October 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Wong Phui Nam, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Malaysian poet Wong Phui Nam wrote in English, despite feeling no connection to the English literary tradition? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Wong Phui Nam. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Wong Phui Nam), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Reviewing new article: Disability in Kenya

Hello @Chipmunkdavis !

I am a fellow wikipedian, and I recently published a new article called Disability in Kenya, because I thought it was primordial to provide knowledge on disabilities in this specific country. This country's norms, perceptions, myths, and policies around persons with disabilities are unique, and as I am particularly close to Kenya, I think this article is valuabe.

But since I am quite new to Wikipedia, I wanted to know if I could get your feedback on this article. I saw that you commented on the Kenya talk page, so I thought it would be great to reach out to you!

Thank you in advance.

Hi Zp 2298, nice to hear from you. It would be best practice when reaching out for assistance on a specific article to link to that article, eg. [[Disability in Kenya]] becomes Disability in Kenya. I see someone else has already made some notes on the article. A key consideration to remember is that Wikipedia articles are not papers, they do not have a thesis and are not meant to argue a point. Instead, they are meant to plainly provide comprehensive information about a topic. It is helpful when writing Wikipedia articles to make sure everything that is written comes from an external source, which makes it easier to maintain an encyclopaedic tone. Best, CMD (talk) 01:03, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

SOURCE PLEASE.

Who defined "states with limited recognition"? In which literature? ——🦝 The Interaccoonale ^{Will be the raccoon race} _{(talk・contribs)} 01:38, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Why do you use the recognition of UN-Member States to define this concept, rather than the recognition of any de facto State? Source please. ——🦝 The Interaccoonale ^{Will be the raccoon race} _{(talk・contribs)} 01:40, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

No-one defined it, it is a descriptive title. CMD (talk) 01:42, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

By the way, 1RR is applied to this page. You can not revert it 2 times. ——🦝 The Interaccoonale ^{Will be the raccoon race} _{(talk・contribs)} 02:20, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Appreciate that note, seems it may actually be the case, depending on how the restriction is interpreted. That said, I hope this isn't trying to wikilawyer in a change on a page whose talkpage you've never posted to? CMD (talk) 02:33, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Perhaps you're right. I just read some literatures on this topic, none of them gave the definition. But I don't understand what you means. What is wikilawyer? Who's talk page? ——🦝 The Interaccoonale ^{Will be the raccoon race} _{(talk・contribs)} 03:26, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

I don't know what definition you're looking for. The title is descriptive. Here is an accessible handbook on the topic if you are looking for literature. The talk page is Talk:List of states with limited recognition. CMD (talk) 04:11, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Friendly note

Hi CMD, just a quick note to beware 3RR on List of sovereign states and dependent territories in North America. I've absolutely no intention of reporting you, but I will report the other user if they revert again, and an admin might not be feeling generous towards you! Hopefully we can get them to discuss their issues on the talk page so we can explain WP terminology to them, especially on the use of state vs. country. (Confusing to us Americans, as we generally call independent states "countries" for obvious reasons!) BilCat (talk) 19:22, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Such is policy, thanks for the note. I posted some links on their talkpage regarding the content after one of the reverts, hopefully they read through them. CMD (talk) 01:26, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Hopefully they did. BilCat (talk) 01:36, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

About text and reference appeared in Wikipedia page of "Lunar New Year"

Hi Chipmunkdavis,

When I browsed Lunar New Year page, I saw the first sentence is "Lunar New Year is the beginning of a lunar calendar or lunisolar calendar year, whose months are moon cycles." I kinda suspect if that is correct. Since the pure lunar calendar does not have an intercalation that appears in lunisolar calendar, the date of new year does not aligned in these two calendars. IIRC, the difference will be around 11 days when both of them finished one year cycle. I cannot find and refer you a page of concrete calculation process, but I think the Wikipedia page of lunar calendar and lunisolar calendar are sufficient mentioned enough about the calendar difference. To avoid confusion for readers, I think there should be a better way to distinguish them. There may be some cultures call them as the equivalent, but this kind of case should be addressed separately. I am not sure how to submit the suggestion of this page, so I browsed contribution history and found you might be the right person to explain my thoughts.

Let me know what is your suggestion.

Thanks for the information. I will check that page.

Request for Presidency of Rodrigo Duterte

Hello Chipmunkdavis. I am not sure if you have been monitoring, but Presidency of Rodrigo Duterte has become one of the longest articles. I have been working on its expansion since last year, and I tried reducing its size by condensing; I also asked for a peer review and GOCE copyedit. Other editors also successfully reduced its size by trimming/condensing/spinning off its content over the months. If you have enough time, can you please take a look at it and hopefully reduce its size. I am having a difficult time condensing its current content through summary style. The talk page may also give some insights. Thank you. Sanglahi86 (talk) 17:34, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi Sanglahi, nice to hear from you. It looks like many successful sub-articles have been created, so the easiest way to trim is to look at what details in those sections can be shifted. However, I can see why this is difficult! I was looking at for example condensing the Russia section, but I don't think it's enough for its own article and also think it too detailed for the general relations article, so not sure where it could go. (As an aside, not sure it would affect this page, but there's clearly an article missing on the Philippines and its history with the ICC.)

An obvious candidate for summarising is the lead, which at the moment is both too long and has a lot of unique references. These need to be shifted into the body and the lead built anew. (Also an aside, the new Wikipedia format has destroyed the page's image positions, the upper part of the article will needs its images moved. The Rodrigo Duterte Sidebar may also have to go.) A bold idea might be to scrap the First 100 days section, and mention in the relevant thematic sections "X was a priority action during the first 100 days" or similar. At any rate, it's a detailed job, and it seems like the sort of article that will end up on the long end of the scale. CMD (talk) 03:38, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. Such a shame the new theme severely affected the layout of articles (I opted to continue using the Legacy theme). I agree the sidebar might have to be removed. The China and United States section appears less cohesive; it is also the article's longest section. I hope it could be further improved. I might remove some unneeded citations in the lead, though I may leave it as it is as I am at a loss on how to rewrite it. Kind regards. Sanglahi86 (talk) 06:47, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

If you keep pushing disruptive edits like these diff1 and diff2. Third parties will be involved. "text changes suggest other occupied areas" is pure nonsense.
