Typo fixing with AWB

Hi, thank you for the typo fixing you are doing with AWB. However, please check all your edits and make sure that you only correct actual typo's and not simply unusual names.

• This wasn't a typo
• Here, in an article titled Vilain XIIII, "Vilains" is not a tpo for "villains", and Guines is not a typo for Guinness
• here "Commission" should have a capital C, or else it should be corrected in the next sentence (and probably elsewhere) as well.

Thank you. Fram (talk) 11:48, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Radio (magazine) page

I edited the Radio (magazine) page. My references? I was the editor for 17 years. Shall I note that every time? ChrissScherer (talk) 19:04, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

One example: The page says Penton was struggling when it sold Radio magazine and others. EVERY publisher had challenges, but that is not the reason for the sale. Penton decided to get out of the entertainment technology sector. At the time of the transfer, Radio magazine and Broadcast Engineering were sister publications. They each stood alone. BE was no longer a parent from an oversight point of view. ChrissScherer (talk) 19:04, 25 May 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.126.43.114 (talk) 13:28, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

I have added citations. I also realized I was not logged in. I also have magazine cover scans I can add as additional citations once my account is confirmed. ChrissScherer (talk) 19:04, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

It's_Only_Talk

Hello, Dan

_ I'm not experimenting, you did not even took the time to look at what I was suppressing : this page is a publicity, not an encyclopedic article. Is it not neutral at all. Besides, I was suppressing biographical elements that should be in an article about a movie but in dedicated biographical page, when they exist. Evn when the biographical pages don't exist, those informations don't belong in an article about a movie. --Wataya7 (talk) 02:25, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

Dear @Wataya7:, you removed dramatically large portions of the content, reagarding the content, and what belongs there and not, I suggest you use the articles discussion page, Dan Koehl (talk) 02:33, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

A good idea?

I'm not sure this was such a good idea when so many others who are heavily personally involved have not declared. Do you really think they will follow suit? Sort of like Lincoln declaring COI on the slave issue because he wants them freed, hoping that slave owners also will declare? --SergeWoodzing (talk) 13:44, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

I think its always good to follow rules @SergeWoodzing:, and regarding this specific case, they are clear, and written at How to disclose a COI, so I did what I interprete is requested from me. Reg "follow suit" this back in November 2002. Regarding slaves issues, I have no idea whatsoever of a logical connection to that rule. Dan Koehl (talk) 13:56, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

What back in November 2002? --SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:02, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Lene Mørk

Hello, I'm really sorry to disturb you, but there is some issue which I think you could help me to solve. Recently I've created an English version article of Lene Mørk which is actually available in another language (German) also before. On the right of page, there is language icon In which we can choose another language. From English version of Lene Mørk, there is link to the German page; but there is no link from German to English page. (my English is bad, please forgive) Also, the English page is reviewed 2 days ago but still there is no search result coming. Can you please help? Thankyou. Zoglophie (talk) 14:38, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

This is strange @Zoglophie:, and I can see that both language links are active on the Wikidatapage. I really dont know, maybe theres some time issue, and later the lik will work...Dan Koehl (talk) 15:01, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

User:Tournesol, from Swedish Wikipedia, has based on his personal opinion, has on the article Dan Koehl:

1. removed the category: management consultants, based on a personal onion, that "it doesn't appear to be quite correct" without giving any indication as to why this is "incorrect". The person in the article which is me, has been working as management consultant since 1997, which is verified up by several sources.

   Additionally, throughout June, a Swedish elephant expert is set to work with Airavata to improve their elephant care.

We were able to secure the invaluable expertise of Dan Koehl, one of the world’s most competent elephant consultants and experts who is now an adviser to our foundation.

2. In PROJECT “LUCKY SAMA” Dan Koehl is described as "elephant consultant and trainer Dan Koehl from Sweden".

4. Seatlle Times is the article Woodland Park Zoo to expand elephant program citing "Dan Koehl, a Swedish elephant expert".
5. In Terres Rouges Lodge, the Airavata Elephant Foundation in Cambodia use the words, "Elephant expert Dan Koehl shares his knowledge on the historical relationship between man and elephant."
6. The article in Seatlle Times, Big Business Zoos prize baby elephants, but at what cost? cite "I turned to elephant consultant Dan Koehl, a Swedish zookeeper, who has created a comprehensive database of elephant ownership worldwide".
7. In The new gorilla exhibit "Dan koehl" is cites as: "elephant expert with the great site Elephants Encyclopedia - facts and information about elephants since 1995".
8. In the discussion the horror of captive marine mammals, some mention "Dan Koehl" as A follow-up record uncovered by a Swedish elephant authority, Dan Koehl, showed that Grumpy was attacked by Patty and Maxine and “killed after sustaining injuries from being beaten up by [them].”

Orphan tag

Hi on my article List of massacres in Bihar i think orphan tag is not needed as it links to a number of articlesHeba Aisha (talk) 10:15, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

I just tried to de-spam categories

There are simply countless game characters, so I thought the categories should just list the ones with their own articles instead of also the few of these countless just comeyely arbitrarily chosen by someone to be highlighted like that. For some reason not one not two but three people jumped on me instantly. Tell me can I continue or not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.173.104.38 (talk) 12:48, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Dear @5.173.104.38:, I have no insight in the details what you want to to do, beut removing ALL categories from an article, without giving a single reason why, is normally an indication, this MAY be a mistake. Dan Koehl (talk) 12:52, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Jensen and the Flips Edit

Hi Dan,

I edited the Jensen and the Flips entry because the statement is completely Libelous. Stating that the band is "best known for sexual harassment" is completely out of context. That is why I revised the entry. Wilddogg11 (talk) 02:18, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Dear @Wilddogg11:, this is your opinion, and you may be right, and you may be wrong, so your opinion needs to be verified from an independant source, since the text you removed, was verified. I noticed that in this edit to Jensen and The Flips, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. Dan Koehl (talk) 02:23, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

de la Vega site

Hello Dan:

I forgot to enter an edit summary before I published the latest addition which was a Biography section. Then I was adding a Chronology section and the problem there I wanted to preview but I accidentally pressed "Publish changes". And it looks like I accidentally deleted the newly added Biography! Sorry about all this; I will make sure I always enter an edit summary and be more careful selecting the correct button!

Thank you!

Advice on Norwegian wiki-links

Dan, hi. Please take a look at Draft:Terje G. Simonsen. It is a properly stated WP:COI contribution. The article has a number of Norwegian Wikipedia wiki-links, but they don't work. I am not very experienced with wiki-links and did everything following the guideline. Puzzled why it didn't work out. Thanks! Peter. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 09:44, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Dear @Bbarmadillo:, this person already, since ten years, has an article on nowiki, I see no reason to keep as a draft, from MPOV it can be moved to article already now, without hesitation. Dan Koehl (talk) 09:58, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

@Dan Koehl: Do you have any idea why wiki-links don't work (no:Solum Forlag, no:Janus and others)? As for the notability, the article was deleted from EN Wikipedia once, you can check the link to the deletion discussion at the Talk page. There were several NO Wikipedia editors voting to Keep it, but apparently the community decided the other way. I didn't see that version, but my guess is that it didn't have enough references to trusted source (as it has now, I hope). --Bbarmadillo (talk) 10:04, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

@Bbarmadillo:, they were linking to wiktionairy, I corrected, and think they should work now. Dan Koehl (talk) 10:37, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

@Dan Koehl: Thanks a lot for your help! Peter. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 19:12, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Dan, hi. Please give me your advice on this page. It has been in the review phase for more than 3 weeks now. My guess that it is not being reviewed either: a) because of the content (probably something should be removed?) or b) because most of the links are in Norwegian. What do you think? Peter. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 21:35, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

@Bbarmadillo:,I still think the article has good chances, time is only time. and three wekks is in those cases not a long time. I suggest patence. and one day the draft will be checked, and hopefully moved to article. Dan Koehl (talk) 23:52, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

Happy New Year!

Walter Elmer Schofield, Across the River (1904), Carnegie Museum of Art.		Best wishes for a safe, healthy and prosperous 2021.
		Thank you for your contributions toward making Wikipedia a better and more accurate place. BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 15:26, 26 December 2020 (UTC) Oneupsmanship: This painting turned the friendly rivalry between Edward Redfield and Elmer Schofield into a feud. Schofield was a frequent houseguest at Redfield's farm, upstream from New Hope, Pennsylvania, and the two would go out painting together, competing to capture the better view. Redfield served on the jury for the 1904 Annual Exhibition of the Carnegie Institute; at which, despite Redfield's opposition, Across the River was awarded the Gold Medal and $1,500 prize. It was not until a 1963 interview that the 93-year-old Redfield revealed the painting as the cause of the 40-year feud between them. Schofield may have painted it in England, but a blindsided Redfield knew that it was a view of the Delaware River, from his own front yard!
