List of hospitals in New York City

Thanks for List of hospitals in New York City, it looks like you did a lot of work. I am going to add some of the red linked ones to Wikidata. That way they can appear as places of death within Wikidata. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 18:45, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

You make the decision, should they stay as red links, or link to Wikidata entries such as [[d:Q21905293|Brooklyn Eye and Ear Hospital]] and appear as Brooklyn Eye and Ear Hospital? I could write an entry in Wikipedia but am blocked from creating new entries, my personal Javert just got me blocked from even creating articles in my userspace. I am currently working on Coroner of New York City.

Wikidata

Don't forget to add in the cemetery burials to Wikidata, I added in one for you: Elliot Willensky. Stuff gets deleted on Wikipedia all the time, but Wikidata is more stable. Categories come and go like fashion here, but there, we think of new ways to categorize people all the time. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 23:36, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Gram stain vs. gram-positive vs. gram-negative... etc. etc.

Hello there! I noticed your recent edit to Gram staining where you capitalized "Gram" throughout the article. Actually, this is not as straightforward as it seems. In general when Gram is used as part of a compound adjective (gram-positive, gram-negative, etc.) it is left lowercase. There is a brief explanation of this at the Eponym page as well as some discussion about our specific case at Talk:Gram-negative bacteria and a brief note on the Gram-staining talk page. In general this is the format you'll see from the CDC (sorry you have to scroll down a bit on that one) and other mainstream organizations. I went through the Gram staining page and re-lowercased throughout (except for "Gram stain" which remains uppercase). If you disagree or would like to talk about it, feel free to ping me here or leave a message on my talk page (or post on the Gram staining talk page for a wider audience). Other than that, glad to see someone taking an interest in the Gram staining article! Happy editing!! Ajpolino (talk) 18:37, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Your ALLCAPS edits to 2016–17 Coupe de France

Hi, Some of the changes you made with this edit to the above article actually broke the sentence case in some of the references, by capitalising words that are not proper nouns.

eg: Coupe de France: Caudebec and Saint-Nicolas eliminated you changed to Coupe de France: Caudebec and Saint-Nicolas Eliminated, but note that all the capitalised words in the sentence before you changed it were proper nouns.

I don't want to revert the whole edit, as some of the changes (moving from all capitals to title case) are valid. I would invite you to revisit this edit and change those which you moved from sentence case to title case back to sentence case. Cheers, Gricehead (talk) 09:18, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi, wp:ALLCAPS states: Reduce newspaper headlines and other titles from all caps to sentence case or title case. For example, replace the headline "WAR BEGINS TODAY" with "War begins today" or "War Begins Today". (my bold). In the example above, the original edit is equivalent to War begins today and your edit is equivalent to War Beings Today. So you've changed an acceptable per-MOS sentence case to an acceptable per-MOS title case. There is no difference between languages. (Sentence case states: Only the first character of the sentence is capitalised, except for proper nouns and other words which are required by a more specific rule to be capitalised.) Not a massive deal, but I don't think we should really be changing one per-MOS acceptable title to another per-MOS acceptable title. Cheers, Gricehead (talk) 12:47, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your changes, much appreciated. Cheers, Gricehead (talk) 08:41, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

MV Discovery

Hi Ira. Thanks for your edit to the MV Discovery article; however, I have reverted it. I see from your user page that you are American, and Coast Guard is indeed two words in American English, but it is a single word in British English. The reference in the article was to the United Kingdom Maritime and Coastguard Agency, which is the parent body of Her Majesty's Coastguard, so the original spelling was correct.

Michele di Rocco

Greetings. Per this, please point out where in the MOS it says to artificially fix typos in refs. I've never seen such a rule/guideline, and we certainly don't do it in other contexts (such as misspelt song titles in music albums). Mac Dreamstate (talk) 01:38, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

From what I can see, that MOS section pertains only to quotations of prose text, rather than specifically titles of refs. Also, I strongly believe Wikipedia should be striving for accuracy, even if it means preserving mistakes—the publisher of the ref made an error in the title, but it is not our responsibility to fix it, since it does not make a difference within the article body. I would let the Di Rocco edit slide otherwise, but the issue could carry over into countless other articles unless we get clarification. Should I ask at WT:MOS? 01:56, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Discussion started here. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 18:29, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Cool, I think that's a reasonable solution across the board—I'll be sure to use the tag myself in future. Nice talking with you, and all the best. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 18:32, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

Editing inside quotations

While I appreciate your efforts at working on style, I must point out that you don't change material inside a direct quotation. This applies to the wire service style which was / is to capitalize the dateline city of origin - it is not a typo. Editorial changes to handle things like misspellings, or in the case of some words that have changed in usage over time (employe / employee comes to mind) are marked [sic] to show that the typo or variation was in the original source. Mark Sublette

The edits I was referring to were items from Military Aircraft Accidents, 1940 - 1944. Personally, as a historian, I try to accurately reflect the source material, and prefer to post the text as it was printed, and note missed keystrokes with [sic]. Also, usage of the language, especially in the press, has evolved over time, and reporting has changed. I don't like to second-guess period style. Mark Sublette

You "fixed several words"

Hi!
Thanks for rescuing Castleton.
I am intrigued to understand how on earth you were watching this insignificant article.  Cheers! Gareth Griffith‑Jones (The Welsh Buzzard) 13:19, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi Welsh Buzzard,

I must admit your question made me laugh. I had to go back to my contribution history to remember, but since you asked, here's the long answer:

THe Castleton page isn't on my watch list. For the last few months on Wikipedia, I've been doing mostly copy editing. I'm a member of the Typo Team and have been on a search and and destroy mission for duplications of the words 'and' and 'the.' It's boring to do that all the time, so I sometimes click on a link. My edit immediately prior to those on the Castleton article was a deletion of a duplicated 'and' on the Morris Marina article. I can't find a link directly from that page to Castleton, so I may have gone to another page in between, but I wound up on Castleton, and when I saw words that shouldn't have been capitalized, I just couldn't leave them alone.

Regards,

Ira

Template:European Parliament election, 2014 (Netherlands) candidate lists

Hi Ira Leviton,

I won't revert your edits again and i did know the guidelines. But i think it's important to realise that the party name and list name are 2 different things. The Dutch election committee follows instructions from party's choice for partylist name. Styling it this way is the way they participated. Since this is a list of the party lists (and not party names) it's strange not to follow the official party list name.

Anyway. Not going not going to edit war you on this or anything. But i take pride in my accuracy.

With kind regards,

Green Street Courthouse/Republican

Re this edit: In many countries outside the US, "Republican" is not usually capitalised. Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Ireland-related articles#Descriptive nouns and adjectives specifically says to use lowercase. jnestorius^(talk) 07:53, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

Not a problem, Jnestorius. The reason I stopped by that page was to correct the duplicate 'the.' While there, I noticed republican as a political party, which gets capitalized in the U.S. although it gets a small 'r' as a simple adjective. If gets a small 'r' as a political party outside of the U.S., then it should be a small 'r' in this article – after all, that's where the reference was made. Thanks, and regards.

List of MLB team nicknames

I saw you adding nicknames and other changes to list of baseball team nicknames a couple times a week ago. It makes me to ask if you would like to look at the page List of MLB team nicknames I wrote on PlanetStar Wikia four weeks ago that lists lot more nicknames, many of them I came up with, than there are on Wikipedia page. Let me know if you have any thoughts surrounding that. PlanetStar 00:01, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

@PlanetStar:

Hi - and I apologize for taking so long to answer. I happened on the list of team nicknames because of a typo on it, but being interested in baseball history, I had to add something in addition to fixing the typo. I see nothing wrong with being 'encyclopedic' about team names, although somebody might complain that Wikipedia isn't supposed to be a bunch of lists. As long as there are citations, why not add the other names on your Wikia page to the Wikipedia article? It's currently heavily weighted toward more recently used names, so adding old names, like "Mackmen" for the A's will make that more evenhanded. Team names are one of those lists that can never be complete but there are plenty of those types of lists on Wikipedia too. I say go for it!

Nantucket's neutrality during the American Revolutionary War

Hi Ira, Thanks for taking an interest in Nantucket's neutrality during the American Revolutionary War, an article that I have found to be problematic owing to its marginal notability and the appearance that it was a school history paper. Perhaps you could take a crack at the lead section. A good summary there could help indicate whether the article focuses on a notable topic. It appears to have some interesting material in the body that probably should find a home in any case. Cheers, User:HopsonRoad 13:48, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

@HopsonRoad:

Hi, and thanks for your comment. I also thought that this article might have started out as some type of class project, although I thought that it was interesting and about a notable issue. I agree that the lede is weak because it doesn't summarize the topic well and included history that's unimportant to the rest of the article and should have appeared only below the table of contents. There's other stuff in the text, like a bunch of "so-and-so wrote in an article in this journal..." that's unnecessary because it's in the citations. I may have time to work on it next weekend, but I have to think about the lede because I'm not an expert at all in this topic.

Ira Leviton (talk) 02:41, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Ira

Thanks for your reply, Ira. I suggest that, since the lede need only summarize the article, it shouldn't require expertise, just an ability to understand, process and write, which you clearly have! Whatever you achieve, will probably be a great improvement, even if the article receives further attention and development from others. Cheers, User:HopsonRoad 14:32, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Your edit on Clash of Champions (2017)

Ira, thanks for your edit on Clash of Champions (2017). I noticed you removed the PPV abbreviation in the first sentence. Although it might not be used again in the article right now, it is often later added in the articles, and its actually in the first line of every Impact, WCW and WWE PPV. I understand your rationale for removing but I think it does serve a purpose. Any thoughts on that?

I also notice you recently edited the Israeli Wrestling League article I recently created. I created a bunch of other Israeli wrestling related articles, and a template for them: Template:Professional wrestling in Israel, Professional wrestling in Israel, Ultimate Wrestling Israel, IPWA Heavyweight Championship (Israel), and Tomer Shalom. Any help with a second set of eyes, and with expanding them, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks - Galatz^Talk 18:41, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

@Galatz:

Hi,

Thanks for your comments and noticing my edits. I'm on the Wikipedia Typo Team and stopped by both of the pages you mentioned in my almost never-ending search for duplications of the word 'the', which is my current project. (It's a very common typo.) I also remove allcaps and jargon abbreviation when I notice them. Wrestling pages tend to have allcaps, I believe because their magazines have headlines in allcaps and those are pasted as references. It's not a big deal, but it gives me something else to do. As for as abbreviations, I think that almost everybody uses them – including me – but Wikipedia is supposed to be for a general audience and unless it's something like "the U.N.", people may not know what it is. I don't even like to see jargon abbreviation in Wikipedia articles when they're used to save space for a frequently repeated term, since newspapers, for example, tend to successfully avoid them. I don't remove them when they're used 20 times on a page, but when I saw the PPV and that it was used only in the lede, I thought it should be removed. I'm not a fan of wrestling, boxing, or anything that uses PPV, but I knew the abbreviation, but I always think, if a ten-year old kid or my wife is reading an article with jargon, they're not going to know what it means, and they may lose interest and go to another page.

The Israeli Wrestling League page you created is very detailed - you must either be a big fan or spent a huge amount of time researching it - or both. It's tough for me to judge how popular wrestling is in Israel, but if you link it to the right kind of other wrestling articles, you should get a decent number of page views from die-hards in the U.S. and elsewhere that way.

Ira

Ira Leviton (talk) 19:32, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, the Hebrew WP was big help for the IWL article. The Professional wrestling in Israel and Tomer Shalom needed to be created from scratch though. Professional wrestling and Israel related articles on WP are where I focus most of my efforts so WP, so it only made sense to combine the two and start working on those articles.

I always let WP fill in the reference for me, and therefore yes, it just takes the all caps from the article itself which uses all caps. Unfortunately you will therefore find the same cap issues in the articles I mentioned above. - Galatz^Talk 19:39, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

Your edit on Peter Corke (2017)

Ira, I noticed your edits and requests for clarification on Peter Corke. This page is about me so not quite sure the process given WP COI guidelines. You've expanded CSIRO to its full and formal name, but since the 1980s the organisation only refers to itself as CSIRO. It's not an acronym, there are no dots. Maybe expand it out the first time and give the short name in parentheses. You've added matrix laboratory as an expansion for MATLAB, and although that is where the name came from in the 1970s when it was a university project, the company MathWorks founded in 1984 never refer to this meaning for MATLAB. ICT stands for Information and Communications Technology, a fairly well known term in Australia and Europe, it recognises that for IT systems today the communications/networking is super important. But if you expand out CSIRO ICT Centre you no longer have the name of the organisation, it was known internally and externally as CSIRO ICT Centre or even CSIRO ICTC. It's tricky when the contraction becomes the normal way of referring to a thing. Finally, "take up a chair" is a British idiom for becoming a professor. Unlike the US, in the Australia and the UK not all academics are professors: academics rise through the ranks of lecturer, senior lecturer, reader (increasingly associate professor), professor.

Peter.corke (talk) 21:17, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

@Peter.corke:

Hi

I will try to fix the article – either later today or tomorrow, using the information in your message. (As you can probably tell, I hate jargon abbreviations. But if they're explained properly and used properly, then they're OK.)

You taught me a Britishism! (I've wanted to take up a chair many times, but only to use it on somebody from behind.)

And you're right about conflicts of interest, but I'm sure that it can be fixed without you having to do anything.
