Valentine DYK

I want to congratulate you on the successful Olivetti Valentine DYK link -- I don't know which is more challenging: putting together a good Wikipedia article or getting an article successfully into DYK. I have a nagging disappointment that I did not think to time all of this so it could hit DYK on Valentine's day! Years ago I had nominated many articles successfully for DYK, but found the process somewhat brutal, with a tendency to take the rigorous dissection of the articles... personally. I tend to take an arms-length approach, now, to DYK -- though I can't wait to see the number of pageviews, lol. I appreciate your hopping onto the article after I started major edits, helping form it, and especially doing so in a way that was constructive and collaborative. The next time I expand an article, I may tag you, as you understand the process well and can make impacts in a professional and friendly way. It's hilarious that after all the work and effort put in to polishing that article, the first sentence carried a typo on the article name -- until it was released to DYK! It takes a village. Bravo and congrats. 842U (talk) 10:50, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to you for putting together a fascinating little gem of an article! It does an excellent job of highlighting this curious and iconic design, as well as framing its historical context and enduring significance – and yes, utterly hilarious that it took 15K+ pairs of eyes to spot that Valentine was misspelt in the first line of the lead. Apart from the satisfaction of seeing a good article so widely read, this is the best rationale I can think of for enduring any inherent stress of the DYK process itself. Also, tag at will. I'm happy to look at anything you'd like. Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 10:55, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Brittany Spanos (September 29)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by JoelleJay was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Although some new sourcing mostly related to the Swiftposium has been added, it does not improve the coverage deficit expressed in the AfD. Importantly, the new coverage *of Spanos* is exclusively passing mentions and quotes, sometimes accompanied by further details on her class. Even if the coverage of her class or her interviews had been significant, as AfD participants noted the subject would still fail BIO1E, so it would not be appropriate to accept this draft in the absence of new SUSTAINED sourcing.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Brittany Spanos and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Subject: Request to Consider Creating an Article for "AVL List"

Dear Cl3phact0, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to suggest the creation of an article for AVL List GmbH, an internationally significant company that currently lacks representation on the English Wikipedia. Here is a summary of the reasons why I believe this topic meets Wikipedia’s notability criteria:

Global Importance in Automotive and Engineering Sectors: AVL List GmbH is one of the largest independent companies in the world specializing in the development, simulation, and testing of powertrain systems. This includes work on internal combustion engines, electric and hybrid powertrains, and related technologies. The company plays a critical role in the automotive industry's transition to sustainable mobility.

Proven Notability: AVL List has been extensively covered in reliable, secondary sources. These include industry reports, news articles in respected publications (e.g., Automotive News, Forbes), and research collaborations documented in academic journals. Additionally, AVL’s innovations in simulation technologies and its contributions to engineering fields have been widely recognized.

Existing Coverage in Other Languages: AVL List already has a detailed and well-sourced article on the German Wikipedia ([link to the article]). Expanding its presence to the English Wikipedia would benefit a global audience and align with the goal of making knowledge accessible across linguistic boundaries.

Alignment with Wikipedia’s Purpose: The absence of an English article for a company of AVL’s stature creates a notable gap in Wikipedia’s coverage of the automotive and engineering domains. Including this article would provide balanced and well-referenced information for researchers, engineers, students, and other interested parties.

I am happy to provide a draft article or additional resources to support the creation of this page. My draft would adhere strictly to Wikipedia’s neutrality and verifiability guidelines, ensuring that the article is factual, balanced, and well-sourced.

Thank you for considering this suggestion. Please let me know if you would be open to reviewing a draft or if you need further details regarding the topic.

Best regards, Norbert Adam NorbertAdam1980 (talk) 10:10, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you that AVL List [de] (wikidata:Q300157) should be included in English Wikipedia. Thank you for highlighting this omission. I've made a few minor edits to the related articles for Hans List and Helmut List, and will also create a blank Draft in order to get this started. I see no reason why you can't then go ahead and write the bulk of the draft text (as you suggest), as long as you follow the conflict of interest rules and other relevant guidelines concerning sources for translations, etc. Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 10:40, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

PS: There was a previous abandoned draft for AVL List. I have requested its undeletion here. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 10:55, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello CI3phact0,

I just made up the new draft here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVL_List) hoping it is meeting all requirements. I really did emphasis on finding as many sources as possible. Please just tell me if there is anything missing or to extensive or not aligning Wikipedia´s rules.

Thanks a lot, NorbertAdam1980 NorbertAdam1980 (talk) 14:57, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You may have better results if you begin with the existing Draft:AVL List, and then, when ready, use the "Submit the draft for review!" button (please ping me too). Citing reliable sources will be necessary for the article to be accepted. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 12:45, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How on earth is adding a referenced quotation by a person "an opinion"? How on earth is it not controversial for one of the leading AI executives to say that AI will replace jobs that maybe shouldn't have existed in the first place? These AI executives decided to design their LLMs in such a way that they stand the highest chance of replacing people's jobs. They've stolen all of humanity's Internet contributions without anyone's consent in order to enrich themselves by making as many people as possible unemployed and poor.

Bill Ackman

Hello Cl3phact0, nice to meet you. I'm hoping that as a participant in WP:BIOGRAPHY you'd be willing to assist at Bill Ackman. My COI keeps me from editing directly so I have posted my proposed changes here: Talk:Bill Ackman#Philanthropy section. As you'll see, the Philanthropy section of the article gives too much attention and weight to an arbitrary selection of organizations, forming an inaccurate picture of Ackman's giving history and misleadingly suggesting that these groups benefited disproportionately from Ackman's philanthropy. Instead of dedicating a paragraph to every organization that Ackman gave to and is documented in RS - which would make the Philanthropy section inordinately long - I am proposing dedicated sentences or paragraphs only for philanthropy that was particularly significant in the larger context of Ackman's years of involvement in philanthropy. The consolidated list I proposed includes some of the more prominent grantees and removes the less noteworthy details, e.g. that Ackman was honored at a gala once for an organization he supported.

An initial discussion with a different editor had gotten underway, but he went on a wikibreak before we reached conclusions or implemented changes. I look forward to hearing from you - thank you for your time and help. FMatPSCM (talk) 14:49, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Red link vs. Light blue link

I appreciate the question, Clephacto. It's more of a matter "red vs. light blue", the color that comes up. Either way, they "help flag missing articles that we might want to create", with the caveat "though we probably never will"). The difference is that those ugly red links are usually a stop sign, a deterrent to looking any further, because they're more commonly used to go to a message that says "page does not exist", which was okay when Wikipedia didn't offer to translate the page. At worst, the more modern way links to a page in another language, and an offer to translate it into English. For the reader, red-links are an interruption to smooth reading, designed to be skipped over rather than to invite volunteers to create a page. I would wager that more articles will be created by taking someone directly to another Wikipedia than by suggesting that there's nothing at all.Mandsford 14:33, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Please see response on your Talk page (with original question). Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 18:25, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Clephacto. On the first point, it's clear that when H:FOREIGNLINK was written, the ill interlanguage linke was the only way to link a foreign article. One of the problems with relying on the minor guidelines as gospel is that they tend not to get updated as new developments are made. Clicking upon Adolphe d'Assier takes you straight to the article. Clicking on the text of Adolphe d'Assier [fr] takes you to "This page does not exist". If the average reader happens to notice the tiny box that says "[fr]", then, and only then, does it lead to an article written in French. It's the same destination, but with a less obvious way than clicking on Adolphe d'Assier. The "ill" method made sense in 2001 when it was all that there was, but it's flawed and superseded that something better that was created for Wikipedia. On the second point, I could go into more detail about machine translation, but that has improved in the last 24 years as well. Again, the guideline hasn't changed with the times.Mandsford 20:22, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"update template"

Doing what? Cl3phact0 (talk) 07:06, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Making the edit shown in the diff provided? Nikkimaria (talk) 13:59, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You've lost me (which is becoming thematic). Is there a rule that prohibits, or a reason not to refresh the date on a template that one previously placed (especially when that template has been updated itself)? -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 14:22, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not aware of a concrete rule against it, but it seems counterproductive. Why would you want to do that? If the template changes it will automatically update on the page without such an action. Nikkimaria (talk) 17:44, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I guess the logic was that on the off-chance that someone who is (a) in a position to add photographs of the subject and/or her work and (b) doesn't know how to do so (c) might be watching the article for changes – thus leading to (d) improvement of this encyclopaedia (per WP:1Q). Long shot, no doubt, yet relatively low-cost, so probably worth taking a punt. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 18:01, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Clamshell

Hey there. Just wanted to comment on one thing, on clamshell design you changed the top image to one showing the Moto MicroTAC as an example of clamshell. But I'm not sure that would be the best example? Because clamshell comes from clam and the design of a typical 'flip phone' conforms more to that opening mechanism than the MicroTac's (which is backwards you could say). I'm not very sure clamshell has often been applied either to refer to the MicroTac style. Knoxmann (talk) 02:17, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As a form factor, "clamshell" refers to many design typologies, not just phones, of course (e.g., packaging, computers and other electronic devices, etc.). With regard to "flip phones", the three most significant milestones historically seem to be the StarTrek Communcator (1960s), the Grillo telephone (late 1960s through the 1970s), and the MicroTac (mid-1980s). Obviously there are hundreds (if not thousands) of phone designs that use this form factor. Most are forgettable and historically unremarkable. If you prefer a more symmetrical example to the MircoTac, then the StarTac would seem to be a good choice. I have no problem with this, although I would like to preserve the MicroTac photos in the Gallery section as an "early example". The humble clam may actually be the least ambiguous choice for our top image in this case (see most recent edit). -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 05:09, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:Annie Tribel

Hello, Cl3phact0. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Annie Tribel, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 19:07, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mobile phones sales

Hello. Because you've made many good edits to some clamshell articles I recently improved, I thought you might be interested in this:

Some content on the article List of best-selling mobile phones has always been a bit fishy. Well I then decided to look further into it and discovered at least 2 major inaccuracies of incorrect/fake sales figures that originated here on Wikipedia, and went completely unchecked for years, and has since made its way to other media outlets!

This was quite shocking to me. I have written it all just now on Talk:List of best-selling mobile phones if you take a look. This is a serious issue but I have no clue how to escalate it or let other people know. I wonder if you have any input or if you are able to let admins or other important Wikipedia users know.

Karim Rashid permission licence

This is not true what you wrote about picture of Karim Rashid. You erased picture but Licence, permission is sent yestarday Photographer sent it regularly on address permissions-commons@wikimedia.org @Cl3phact0 @Justlettersandnumbers MarijanaPlay (talk) 08:54, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello MarijanaPlay, we're actually trying to help you (a lot of my work in the project is with WP:BLPs of creatives, which is how we crossed paths). A persistent and aggressively WP:OWN attitude is not going to endear you (or your collaborators) to the Wikipedia community. Please read the policy guidelines regarding WP:COI and WP:NOT, and also see WP:PICYOU, all three of which will help you avoid causing disruption. Eventually your account will be blocked and the Rashid article will end up with a {{COI}} tag at the top if you chose to ignore Wikipedia policy – which we are trying to help you avoid. Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 09:14, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please keep this discussion on the Talk page of the Karim Rashid article itself and don't accuse me (or other editors) of things that I did not say or do. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 09:17, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I understand, I am sorry. I will read policy and guidelines. MarijanaPlay (talk) 09:20, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

June 2025

Your recent editing history at Wikipedia talk:Unusual biographical images shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. —Fortuna, imperatrix 13:50, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I certainly do not intend to continue. No thanks! I've had quite enough. In fact, the project in question has essentially become an unwelcoming, hostile waste of time as the pattern of aggressive reverts has amplified (alas, I thought I could contribute something valuable, and put in quite a lot of work with that objective). Having never had to contend with quite this level of rude and aggressive behaviour here, I'm not sure exactly how this works. Will the other editor involved (who already made 3 reverts of the work in question) be similarly reprimanded? I had considered reporting the behaviour, but really didn't think it worth the stress. Are there other steps that should (or shouldn't) be taken in this situation? Thank you, Cl3phact0 (talk) 15:53, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Fortuna imperatrix mundi: I don't actually understand why this warning message was placed here and not on the talk page of the editor who instigated the "edit war" (without even making an sincere effort to explain their objection to my work or reach a consensus in the first place), and who actually made three reverts in a row. I'm a bit confused about this whole thing and I find it quite unsettling. Is this a mistake or am I misunderstanding something? Thanks, Cl3phact0 (talk) 10:16, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Fortuna imperatrix mundi:

Resolved

– This mini-edit war was amicably and constructively resolved (see w:Wikipedia talk:Unusual biographical images#Question for Alalch E.).

I do remain mildly perplexed by how this frightful and unsightly warning tag appeared here in the first place. Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 11:59, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The World Destubathon

Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It started today on Monday June 16 and will run until Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize and around $340 (£250) worth of prizes for Architecture articles, both global and for the UK and Ireland. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help make the content produced as diverse and broad as possible! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:20, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Help needed

Hi, Hope you having a good day! I created a article for me country and i think there is something wrong with it. 1. The image is super large! When i view on my phone i can't actually see the text! I mean i can see but i need to scroll. But on other articles the images are smaller and they view so nice. 2. Can I remove the orphan warning? I really don't know where i can link this article. I'm sorry for putting this message here if it's not your concern. Ghazale Si7 (talk) 03:15, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
