Wikipedia and public opinion

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more redirects. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the redirect's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was retarget to Criticism of Wikipedia. ✗plicit 00:06, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and public opinion → Wikipedia (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

I'm pretty torn on if this should be deleted or if this should go to either Criticism of Wikipedia or Wikipedia#Reception. The article originally went to the former before a bot redirected it to just Wikipedia. (see diff 442636605) Dawnbails (talk) 23:52, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget to Criticism of Wikipedia since that was the original target and it seems cromulent enough. First, although I haven't delved into the revision history firsthand, the discussion at Talk:Wikipedia and public opinion indicates that this was substantially a duplicate of Criticism of Wikipedia at the time of redirection. So any historical value this redirect might have is best preserved by retaining that target. Second, the bot action was triggered by some long-forgotten edit war over whether Criticism of Wikipedia should be allowed to exist -- which seems in the end to have been settled in the affirmative. As you say the best present-day target is pretty much a tossup, so I would give the benefit of the doubt to the target that the redirect would have if it had never been disturbed. (This phenomenon of bot-retargetings representing the wreckage of ancient edit wars seems to be not uncommon. Is there a bot that un-fixes no-longer-double redirects in these kinds of situations? Or a script that lists them for human review somewhere?) -- Visviva (talk) 00:14, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think bot targeting issues are a combination of both redirects to redirects getting retargeted and people changing the locations of redirects which could screw with a bot.

Wikipedi, for example, redirected to Wikipedia, before an IP editor retargeted it to Wikipedio. A bot then saw this and retargeted it to List of Wikipedias before the redirect was reverted back to Wikipedia. I suppose a lot of bot-triggered redirects are due to human error. Dawnbails (talk) 16:03, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I concur with the notion of retargeting this to "Criticism of Wikipedia." Beyond the historical aspects already mentioned, it's worth noting that "Wikipedia and public opinion" inherently implies a level of critique or judgment. Public opinion is a measure of public perception, sentiment, and often criticism about an entity or concept. Therefore, it naturally encompasses critical perspectives.

Delete as unhelpful. The Eck article contains no actual discussion of Eck's views on this topic (just a mention that she founded a project that supports the study of topics including Noahidism). Could perhaps be resurrected as a section redirect, if as & when, but no point in getting ahead of ourselves. -- Visviva (talk) 00:21, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Another imperative sentence for no reason. No better than "Experience extraterrestrial life" or "Study extraterrestrial life" or "Research extraterrestrial life". No reason to think anyone looking for information on extraterrestrial life would search for anything beyond Extraterrestrial life—and, for that matter, why wasn't that even the target? Nevertheless, not a good redirect. Largoplazo (talk) 00:03, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I suppose this might have been created in order to make a link in running text, although I can't seem to find any evidence of that. But that's not really a plausible use case for this kind of text anyway -- given how many articles this phrase could refer to, piping will almost always be the better approach. -- Visviva (talk) 00:26, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I don't see this as a hugely implausible search term, but then the far more likely Discovery of extraterrestrial life is a redlink, and I'm not sure what the best target would be. A7V2 (talk) 01:02, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If kept, refine to Richard G. Hovannisian#Background. There is not much about her, but I doubt she is notable.

Refine to Richard G. Hovannisian#Background: it's quicker than search. I'll need a better argument as to why it's morally wrong to redirect spouses. Like, I'm aware there could be concerns about privacy of non-notable individuals and/or sexism but I think just saying nope here is ultra-cautious. J947 † ^edits 01:25, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, could maybe garner a handful of lifetime views as the target is quite well-viewed and in general harmless.

Delete In what other pages has this been used? None of the previous office holders have a redirect like this, and all of them have more notable political careers. None of the entries for members of the DC Council, all of which are more significant, have a separate redirect. The entry already reeks of puffery, overlinking, and questionable sourcing. Why would this even be considered?~~, other than it has been proposed by the same author who has written the lions share of the entry, which is largely a single purpose account~~.

i mistook your edit for the user who has made most of the additions of questionable relevance. But the rest of the comment stands. Why would this be done for this one random page? There's no redirect for other politicians who have more significant policy positions. We should all be making more meaningful contributions to the project than considering this which adds nothing to the article. Bangabandhu (talk) 16:30, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

commercialisation of the liquid-electrolyte lithium-ion cell in 1991.[24] and Eventually, this type of cell went into the market in 1998.[24] give US specific dates for market entry. They don't say so because they are examples of {{Globalize}}.

Yep, that should have been to MOS:EGG, but the same principle applies: A link (piped or a redirect) should inform the reader where they're headed if they click on it. This particular one is less of an easter egg than some of the others up for deletion, but if "Lineworker work between Washington, D.C. and Baltimore" is linked in an article there's nothing gained for the reader compared to "Lineworker work between Washington, D.C., and Baltimore".

Largoplazo (talk) 00:31, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to Lovari, which is sometimes spelled this way (especially in Polish contexts). The Lovari speak a distinct dialect of the Romani language, which gets some discussion on Lovari. (Vlax Romani could be an alternative target.) "Lowari language" has been at least occasionally used to describe the Lovari dialect, which is also often called the "Lovari language". In contrast, it doesn't look like "Lowari language" is ever used to describe any of the language(s) spoken around Lowari Pass. Based on the page histories my guess is that someone blind-linked to Lowari, assuming incorrectly that it would be about the Roma people rather than the Pakistani landmark, and this mistake was then compounded by that article being moved to Lowari Pass. -- Visviva (talk) 00:47, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Alternative capitalization for the first word and a reasonably anticipated error in the second, given that English-speakers are predominately unlikely to know that Brazil is spelled with an "s" in Portuguese. Largoplazo (talk) 00:33, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is not only the "Brazil" term, but also "Tim": the correct name is "TIM Brasil" Epicamused (talk) 05:57, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm aware of that. The purpose of a redirect is to send a reader from a title that isn't the correct one to the title that is the correct one. So telling me that this redirect is a problem because the redirect title is incorrect and its target is correct amounts to saying that this redirect should be deleted because it's exactly like every other redirect on Wikipedia. Or that a redirect should exist only when its title is the same as the target article's title, which is nonsensical. Largoplazo (talk) 11:55, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would agree with you if the redirect wasn't actually orphaned, and therefore used in some contexts, but it isn't. Epicamused (talk) 13:49, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The context/use case for an orphaned redirect like this is someone typing "Tim Brazil" in the search box and then being seamlessly redirected to TIM Brasil (per WP:R#KEEP 3). —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 14:25, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It seems likely that the intent of the person who created the redirect was to help with the case where someone types "z" instead of "s". Who cares if that same person mistakenly wrote "Tim" instead of "TIM"? It doesn't hurt anything and it gets the person who types a "z" where they need to go. There doesn't happen to be a redirect at TIM Brazil, but this one serves the same purpose in assisting a user who types "tim brazil" or "TIM Brazil" or "tIm BrAzIl", so removing it will be a net detriment, not a benefit. Largoplazo (talk) 14:34, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Textbook example of a redirect from a likely misspelling to the proper target. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 12:06, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Rename it should be using WP:WPJAX -- 64.229.90.172 (talk) 06:17, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:MOVEREDIRECT we don't tend to move redirects because it makes a mess of the page history. If you think WP:WPJAX should be a redirect to this page it would be better to just make a new rediect, rather than moving an old one around. 163.1.15.238 (talk) 16:21, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That guide is completely unrelated, as there is no old history at this location to keep around for the purposes of that guide. Either way works in this cae. However, if there were contribution history on this location it would be lost if we deleted it and recreated it elsewhere, where in that case it should always be renamed -- 64.229.90.172 (talk) 20:57, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
JaxDaily wanted the redirect created as "WP:JX", not "WP:WPJAX" By moving the redirect, it perverts the authorship of the redirect. You're more than welcome to log-in/create your account and create it should you feel it useful. -- Tavix ^(talk) 20:27, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete since "JX" does not appear to relate to Jacksonville. "SoCal" is a common shorthand for Southern California, but we should not go around creating further contractions like "SoCa" or "SCal". I don't buy the "redirs are cheap" argument when it comes to project space. We keep mainspace redirs if we think a reader might plausibly use them, but even if we did (and we don't) want to extend that reasoning to project space, "JX" isn't really a plausible abbreviation for Jacksonville. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 21:07, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's a shortening of JAX, the popular abbreviation for the city, and has been advertised as a shortcut on that page since 2007. Searching for uses of "JX" on Google is tricky, but I find that it's the ASL sign for the city!. -- Tavix ^(talk) 23:35, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The correct form of this is Alpha-ethylmescaline. Given that this differs both in hyphenation and has an incorrect capital letter, this is highly unlikely to be useful. Delete. Mdewman6 (talk) 23:36, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Sometimes I add extra hyphens where they shouldn't be when typing up derivatives of 'common named' compounds (like N-methyl-strictosidine). So, I can see this being a fair misspelling. Also, do capitals in redirects matter? I assumed they were not case sensitive in terms of their use in searches. ― Synpath 19:35, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. I would have thought that case did matter, but I just tried searching "alpha-ethyl-mescaline" and got taken to Alpha-ethyl-Mescaline.

Sam Edic → Dustin Hoffman (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Hoffman used the pseudonym Sam Etic when he appeared on an early episode of The Simpsons. Sam Etic redirects to the most apt place, the production section of that episode. It's up to the community to decide whether the misspelling is a plausible search term, then whether it should redirect to the actor or the episode. I can't see it as being one, but unlike Hoffman or the Simpsons, I'm not American. I know in American English, t in the middle of words turns into a d in the spoken word, but do we need a redirect for phonetic spellings in certain dialects? If Hoffman or the Simpsons were British, would we need a redirect for "Sam E'ic"? Unknown Temptation (talk) 13:35, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget and tag per AngusWOOF. The misspelling exists on the Internet and in general plausible misspelling redirects are potentially helpful and aren't harmful. As to the general question, we don't need to systematically add all misspelling redirects that editors may think could be or find useful, are welcome to be created. Skynxnex (talk) 19:59, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. We can't retarget this to Sam Etic, because that would create a double redirect. Lisa's Substitute#Production explains that "Sam Etic is a play on the word Semitic." Sam Edic would be pronounced differently, making it an unlikely typo. Note that Semidic doesn't exist. - Eureka Lott 18:44, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak retarget (to Lisa's Substitute#Production, which is what I understand AngusWOOF to have been suggesting) and tag as misspelling.
