Thursday October 15: Women in Architecture Edit-a-thon @ Guggenheim (drop-in any time, noon-8pm!)

Thursday October 15: Women in Architecture Edit-a-thon @ Guggenheim

You are invited to join us for a full afternoon and evening of social Wikipedia editing at the Guggenheim (drop-in any time, noon-8pm!), during which we will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles covering the lives and works of women in architecture.

noon - 8pm (drop-in anytime!) at Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Garrett Lobby @ 1071 5th Ave by E 88 St

In conjunction with Archtober and New York Archives Week, the Guggenheim will host its third Wikipedia edit-a-thon—or, #guggathon— to enhance articles related to women in architecture on Wikipedia. The Guggenheim aims to further the goals of Ada Lovelace Day for STEM, and Art+Feminism for art, in a field that, by its nature combines both.

The Guggenheim will work alongside ArchiteXX, the founders of WikiD: Women Wikipedia Design #wikiD, the international education and advocacy program working to increase the number of Wikipedia articles on women in architecture and the built environment. New and experienced editors are welcome.

Can’t join us in New York? Visit our global partnerships page to discover an edit-a-thon in a city near you or simply join remotely.

We hope to see you there!--Pharos (talk) 19:34, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Tehama County, California

Well, I guess I'm in the right place to respond to you about the edit. Yes, I removed the racists and offensive comments. These racists and offensive comments add NO pertinent information. It is completely offensive to call everyone in this county racists.

Also substituting some words to be more accurate ie, removed vs relocated, is less hostile and just as accurate. Adding a lines of racists rants is not constructive.

I'm not sure who was adding to our history but it was strictly adding racists sounding history.

I have let our local Tehama County Historical Society know about these racists comments and why there isn't more pertinent history. They are suppose to be adding content. I thought the rules required sources to be listed with name the author or a writer and none were given by who ever wrote this. It's just a very old article in some unknown flyer or paper with no writer or author given so no way to verify their content?

I have no sources but what I changed does not change any of the so called history content that was added. Any questions let me know...I just want to get this right and not make it sound like all of the population here are racists. I didn't change any of the facts on the page. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by SteeleDawg (talk • contribs) 04:48, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

That information was added in this edit by Norcalian (talk · contribs) in that user's only visible edit ever. I removed the second paragraph as not having been sourced by a reliable source. I restored your edits to the first paragraph, prepending "The history of" to improve legibility. I will work on fleshing out the references in the first paragraph.   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 05:17, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Jeff. I won't have any more edits right now. I will let the Tehama County Historical Society to add content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SteeleDawg (talk • contribs) 05:42, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

You're welcome.   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 04:45, 10 October 2015‎ (UTC)

The changing of 'removed' to 'relocated' is revisionist history, and semantic sidestepping. What happened happened. To remove the reality of an (agreed) offensive event because 'it's hostile' is an affront to the incredibly hostile act of removing an entire race because of another race's bigotry. You don't want to "make it sound like all of the population here are racists." That's on the population of the county. The 19th century residents didn't do anything to 'set the record straight' that they were not racists following the forced removal. If you want to reference the good standing of current Tehama County residents then cite your sources and add the content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Norcalian (talk • contribs) 08:58, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

So do we have any evidence one way or the other that the county (or anyone in power there) has apologized for or distanced itself from the offensive events?   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 01:29, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

on editing Nambudiri page

Hello I am achutkii.... Dear sir, There are lot of inconsistencies and false information about my Namboodiri community in the wiki page. All edits are made based on some book written by Cyriac? or some one else which are not reliable. Atleast you must respect our views as well if facts are not "verifiable"

Namboodiries did not come from Krishna and Cauvery river delta. This is a misconception. Probably the kolathiri raja brought Tulu brahmins from wetern Ganga kingdom during the gap between two chera kingdoms. But they are not namboodiries. Samavedic namboodiries of panjaal beleive that they came from panchala (Uttarakhand) . Also, majority yajur vedic namboodiries are Baudhayana who clearly lived in Ganga-yamuna doab.

Just because some feel second chera kingdom is more sanskritised, they come up with idea that namboodiries came in 8th century. This is ridiculos. Also, Namboodiries will not attack and capture buddhist and jain place of worship. This is yet another conspiracy with no proof that all temples were jain or buddhist place of worship. in fact 90% temples were owned by Namboodiries and built by Namboodiries a century ago.

Tamil sangam literature speak of chelloor or perinchelloor. Taliparamaba village of Namboodiries is still known as perinchelloor. no other brahmin community has such a village. this is infact first namboodiri village per our tradition.

What i said above is namboodiri views and are not proven wrong yet. Some one can put whatever they want to tell about namboodiries referring to some books they wrote, however our views should also be available in this page — Preceding unsigned comment added by Achutkii (talk • contribs) 06:48, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Regarding Nambudiri, Cyriac Pullapilly is a respected history professor and Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. If the issues you raise are represented in verifiable reliable sources, please include those issues and cite those sources. Thank you.   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 07:01, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Source

Dear Sir,

How should I provide the source? Does it mean I have to write the whole article again?

Dear Jeff,

This is Futureresearch2015, I am an expert in Human performance modeling, the SDT I just removed from the HPM page does not belong to the page, therefore it is removed.

‎45.26.44.116

Per WP:DLC, the IP 45.26.44.116 should not be removing the Shared IP notice you put on their talk page. [1]. I have had my eye on this editor, who seems to continue to defy wikipedia's rules and otherwise. Is there anything else we can do, like prevent the editor from blanking their own page? I'm not trying to harass the IP as they claim, I'm simply hoping to follow the rules. The IP needs to know that their continued addition of unreferenced materials will not stand on Wikipedia.

Sam Spade (software)

I'm completely confused (well, that is my usual state) about your additions to the article. The "Website history" doesn't make sense and looks to be chopped up. Also, the {{cquote}} should rarely be used (In most cases, this is not appropriate for use in encyclopedia articles). Bgwhite (talk) 05:53, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

@Bgwhite: The wikitext for the "Website history" seems straightforward enough. I was using {{cquote}} for multi-line quotes; perhaps I should have used bullets, and within those bullets {{tq}}, {{quote}}, <pre>, <poem>, or a combination (tests of which are below)? I think talk quoting poeming shows the most promise at present, and I have included a draft section further below (one section down on this page, with talk quoting poeming and a few minor changes). You may reply before that section or in a new section after it and its refs.   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 23:58, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Website history

  • The last fully-functional version of the website was available 2004-02-26.[1]
  • The text

System outages SamSpade.org has been increasingly unreachable for the past couple of months. This has been due to several reasons - general network problems, blackholing of SamSpade.org by several RIRs and general heavy usage.

This is a very much trimmed down version of the SamSpade.org site, while I deal with some of the other issues.

appeared by 2004-03-26.[2]
  • The "very much trimmed down" description was reduced to "slightly trimmed down" by 2004-05-21. [3]
  • The "System outages" message was gone by 2004-12-10.[4]
  • The text

Commentary

Yes, we've been down.

SamSpade.org has been on a succession of servers living in colocation space donated by CenterGate for a number of years. They've burned out, mostly through disk system failures, and been replaced four or five times now.

I've migrated the site across to one of my business servers in colo space that's local to me (so I guess I'm going to see just how expensive the bandwidth it burns is). It's a shared box right now, but I'll probably need to buy a new dedicated server to run it fairly soon.

A lot of the problems SamSpade.org has are due to attempts to abuse it by a variety of people. Right now I'm seeing many queries a second to a page that has been missing for at least a couple of weeks by someone at Fidelity.com, just as a current example. There's no way any legitimate use could create that amount of traffic, so you have to wonder why a huge investment company that's managing over a trillion dollars in investments and making more that eleven billion dollars a year in revenue needs to steal service from me, helping to knock my servers offline in the process.

We're running a new code base, with little code shared with the previous incarnations. You might see problems. If so, you can probably work out where to report them to.

appeared 2006-10-24.[5]
  • The "Right now" sentence in the previous bullet was gone by 2006-11-10.[6]
  • The "Commentary" headline had been replaced by a "Status" header and the text "We'll be adding some new tools (and resurrecting some of the older ones) soon. Any thoughts on what we should add? Email me." had been added by 2007-02-02.[7]
  • The dysfunctional text "We had a two-drive failure on our main server array this weekend, so stuff is very broken. We'll be back soon." and CSS from wordtothewise.com appeared by 2007-02-05.[8]
  • The text

Lost two drives on our main array, but we're back again now. New server on order...

We'll be adding some new tools (and resurrecting some of the older ones) once it's here.

appeared by 2007-02-21.[9]
  • The two sentences about drives and adding in the previous bullet were replaced by "Need to make DNS queries? Check email blacklists? Take a look at emailstuff.org" by 2007-12-07.[10]
  • The last archived version of the text in the previous bullet was 2010-06-10.[11]
  • The site displayed dysfunctional message "Back soon" by 2011-02-25.[12]
  • The site displayed dysfunctional message "It works!" by 2011-06-29,[13] and has alternated between those two messages ever since.

Thanks a lot for your reminding of my inappropriate action on the article of intensive mixer.

I am not very experienced in wikipedia. Erich and Teka are the top two companies in the intensive mixer.They make the rules in the industry.Just thought what they said might be the most appropriate to be listed on wikipedia.Anyway,I will learn more about wikipedia.And use what come from ourselves' if we work on this article again.
