Citation Do Not Support the Topic

[edit]

Hi, I noticed that you reverted a revision related to one of the edits in Slavery in Malaysia edited by a user with IP: 180.75.236.10 on November 8, 2024. I noticed that the citation used in the revision is a manual citation with seemingly basic references. I have searched and opened the citation used in the edit, but I did not find any mention of the information that was edited. Given that Wikipedia prioritizes reliable and verified sources, are you sure that the reference meets the standards of a reliable source? Phantasmcoa (talk) 10:29, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar items

[edit]

Hello again & thank you all the good work you've been doing for so many years now! I did a bit of touching up here, out of which I'd like especially to give you a friendly reminder about English usage re: two items:

  1. the verb var in Swedish translates in English as was in singular (one person or thing) and as were only in plural (more than one);
  2. royal titles used before royal names always have a capital letter in English (KIng Eric, not king Eric) which also is different from Swedish.

Slave name

[edit]

Hi Aciram. You invoked two references (gülbahar & leslie) to the above article but never defined them, leaving 2 red broken links in the reference section. Could you please add the relevant refs and fix the issue? Thanks. Tamsier (talk) 20:16, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Swedish famine of 1867–1869

[edit]

Hi,
Regarding the Swedish famine of 1867–1869, the existing text (dating from your contributions in 2015) states that

This caused widespread famine. The famine struck throughout Sweden...Häger, Olle; Torell, Carl; Villius, Hans (1978). Ett satans år: Norrland 1867. Stockholm: Sveriges Radio. ISBN 91-522-1529-6

However, Dribe, Martin; Olsson, Mats; Svensson, Patrick (2015). "Famines in the Nordic countries, AD 536 - 1875". Lund Papers in Economic History. General Issues (138). Department of Economic History, Lund University. states that the famine (only) affected "some counties in northern Sweden" (p. 16) and, on p. 21, provides a table in which only Västerbotten County is found to have suffered famine in the 1860s (with no data for Norrbotten County, Blekinge County or Gotland County, while all other counties were considered).

Do you have access to Häger's book, and if so, please could you review the apparent contradiction between these sources? —AlphaMikeOmega (talk) 15:29, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I don't recall this edit, I write quite a lot. As far as I remember know, there was not famine in all Sweden. Though it is equally wrong that there was only a famine in Northern Sweden: I seem to rembember that here was also famine in Småland. But that was a while ago, and I'm afraid I no longer have access to this book. But I don't think it would be incorrect to delete the word "throughout".--Aciram (talk) 15:36, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Since I didn't see a concise way to reconcile the two claims, I've altered the article to rely on Dribe et al. in this section, that source being more recent and more academic. I imagine the discrepancy may arise from differences in the threshold for a famine (as opposed to dearth or hunger): Dribe et al. put this at a ~35% increase in both the price of rye and the crude death rate – but this is somewhat arbitrary. —AlphaMikeOmega (talk) 16:05, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Useful links for your new article

[edit]

Welcome! Creating a new article from scratch is extremely challenging, and new editors are strongly recommended to spend a few months learning how Wikipedia works, by making improvements to some of our existing seven million articles before trying it. When you do decide to have a go at a new article, you are highly encouraged to read WP:Your first article. If you haven't already also check out WP:TUTORIAL; it's a lot of fun! Happy editing!

Birthe Olufsdatter moved to draftspace

[edit]

Thanks for your contributions to Birthe Olufsdatter. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because In-text citations are needed per WP:CITE which will also help to create formatted references per WP:REFSTART. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. FULBERT (talk) 14:35, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That relies on one single author having the time and interest to adress an issue, rather than to rely on millions of potential readers having the knowledge, time and interest to adjust the issue. When you place an article in draft space, then it will, in nine cases out of ten, be deleted. If you let in remain were millions of readers can see it, then chances are much bigger that at least one of those many millions will adress the issue. Such a waste for wikipedia. To place a tag to ask for specific issue in the article to be adressed, is a much better method than to place it in draft, which will rely so much on the effort of one single user, that it will mostly simply be isolated, negleted and deleted. --Aciram (talk) 14:38, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have added citations. I do not have the time or the energy to work more on it currently, so I assume it will be deleted. And, again: the policy of moving articles to draft space is, in effect, the same thing as ensuring their deletion. It is much better to place a tag on them on what specific issues should be adressed. That will give many more people the chance to adjust the article, instead of relying heavily on one single person. To place an article in draft instead of taging it, will signficantly increase the risk of it being deleted. And that is rather sad for wikipedia.--Aciram (talk) 12:33, 7 May 2025 (UTC)--Aciram (talk) 12:33, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You may delete the article now. I do not have the time or energy to work more on it. This is an example of what hapens when you move an article to draft space and place its survival on the whim of a single user; instead of tagging it adressing specific issues, or even placing it in a deletion discussion, which can give several different users the oportunity to adress issues with it. In my opinion, the method of placing articles in draft spaces does not benefit wikipedia. Tagging them, or placing them in deletion discussions, is much more efficient.--Aciram (talk) 14:22, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unattributed translation of your own article

[edit]

Hey Aciram, it looks like you created Bureau international pour la défense des indigènes by translating the Swedish Wikipedia article (sv:Bureau international pour la défense des indigènes). Since you're the sole author of the Swedish Wikipedia article, I guess this isn't really an issue, but I'm letting you know that in future if you translate an article you should use an edit summary that says where you translated the content from. See WP:TFOLWP for more information. Best, Toadspike [Talk] 16:37, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
