Note Climate change in New York (state)

Generally, if you are adding content regarding climate change in New York, it would be helpful to also include it in this article. I will copy over the content regarding Buffalo now. Cheers! BD2412 T 01:54, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia

Thanks for identifying the source of the material in your edit.

This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.

I've noticed that this guideline is not very well known, even among editors with tens of thousands of edits, so it isn't surprising that I point this out to some veteran editors, but there are some t's that you need to be crossed.S Philbrick(Talk) 15:33, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

I came to thank you for "protecting" the J. Delano Ellis article. Thanks! In regards to the comment above, perhaps this will help. When copying within WP, the inline citation looks like this:

<ref>Copied content from [[Example]]; see that page's history for attribution</ref>.

Some time ago, I saved this "formula" in my Sandbox, for future reference and use. Hope this helps! Regards, Tribe of Tiger ^{Let's Purrfect!} 23:49, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello there!! Thank you so much for the comment and assistance!!! It feels quite joyful to see the support of other Wikipedian contributors @Tribe of Tiger: - TheLionHasSeen (talk) 01:22, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Glad to help! Looking at your contributions, one thing to consider is that "red links" exist to note topics/people, who may be suitable for a future article. So, it is not a bad thing, to have them, or leave them in an article. They may "look funny", but can be considered as a signpost, or a suggestion, not something that should be removed. See WP:REDLINKS, esp. paragraph 1 & 3. In paragraph one: Red links help Wikipedia grow.[1] The creation of red links prevents new pages from being orphaned from the start.[2].

I can see that you are working with good intentions, but oh my, there is so much to learn about! WP has a program called "Women in Red", WP:WIRED, which uses the signpost of red-linked names of women (many long-dead scientists, poets, activists, etc), who need encyclopedia articles. Anyway, you have support from total strangers...like, Tribe of Tiger ^{Let's Purrfect!} 02:35, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

I have read the supportive document. Thank you for notifying me! I will be evermore careful when handling redlinks from now on. And yes, it appears I have run into a bit of a pickle lately yet I am grateful for graceful administration. I would love to help where I can, however as for now I am attempting to improve upon currently existing religious and geographic articles before moving onto larger projects. I prefer quality over quantity, respectfully my fellow contributor. - TheLionHasSeen (talk) 02:39, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Article improvement is a marvelous project. Some of our older articles, especially, would certainly benefit from your good quality work. I work mainly, as a WP:WIKIGNOME, doing small repetitive edits, so I will have a look at your redlinks, (hope you don't mind), so you can save your energy for more demanding work. I like your ethos. Tribe of Tiger ^{Let's Purrfect!} 03:05, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you!! I do my utmost best to scavenge the internet for reliable sources and supporting and opposing perspectives to offer a sense of balance. Also, I do not mind at all. What's good for Wikipedia is good for me!!! - TheLionHasSeen (talk) 03:07, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Dangerous waters, as you know...

Remembering some long-ago "rules" of civilized behaviour, from my youth, there was a maxim of: "never discuss sex, politics, or religion" at a dinner party. These three topics still attract a great deal of controversy, half a century later! But, they must be discussed, as WP is not a dinner party! I am glad to see you emerge unscathed from WP:AN/I. As I said before, I think you have a good ethos. Best wishes, Tribe of Tiger ^{Let's Purrfect!} 08:32, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Your humor has brought me to the floor!!! Thank you for the encouragement my friend; and I wish all the best for you as well!!! - TheLionHasSeen (talk) 19:10, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

ANI again...

I was working around the house, and thinking about the recent problem that you brought up at AN/I, when the lyrics of a forty-year-old song popped into my head: Far Away Eyes

I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield

Listening to gospel music on the coloured radio station
And the preacher said, 'You know, you always have the Lord by your side'
Well, I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran twenty red lights in His honor
Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord.

Going to WP:ANI may be dangerous, but you “always have WP on your side”, thank goodness! Hope you are not offended... Seriously, I am sorry that you are having problems. You are not the editor who is “running red lights”. Regards, Tribe of Tiger ^{Let's Purrfect!} 23:23, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

September 2020

Your recent editing history at P'ent'ay 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. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for 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. Ad Orientem (talk) 02:11, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for responding to the matter at hand. I logged back in, and reverted it to apologize within the noticeboard. I did not notice what I have done until I recalled the advice given prior on my discussion page here. I am thankful for your timely warning Ad Orientem, and I am immensely grateful for temporary protection of the article until such a consensus can be reached! - TheLionHasSeen (talk) 02:15, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Ad Orientem, please take a look at the P'ent'ay article. This is blatant ban evasion as all the contributions by the random IP address are verbatim word, for word and of the same style as the user banned for ban evasio. - TheLionHasSeen (talk) 16:40, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi TheLionHasSeen. I am unable to assist in this matter as I have retired from the project and am no longer an administrator. Please contact another admin or ask for help at WP:ANI I apologize for the inconvenience. -Ad Orientem (talk) 16:49, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

You're the administrator that they were informing has retired? Oh my. - TheLionHasSeen (talk) 16:50, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

(I saw this after I posted above.) This is a very recent retirement, as of 24 September. To lose such an experienced editor and fine Administrator, is a very grave loss to WP. User:Ad Orientem has posted their reason for doing so, (a matter of principle) on their talkpage. (Sorry, not sure if you would know...) Said talkpage is filled with kind comments and appreciation, and with hopes that they will return. Even though they have retired, they are generous enough to answer with a kind reply, rather than leaving you in the lurch. A sad loss. This type of thing doesn’t happen often, thankfully. Sad regards, Tribe of Tiger ^{Let's Purrfect!} 06:24, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Edit warring reports

You brought forward some useful information at ANI so I am not complaining but rather giving you some advice for the future. Edit warring should not be reported at ANI but rather at the specific noticeboard for reporting edit warring. A handy shortcut is WP:AN3. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 03:57, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Good day. Thank you for the advice, Cullen328. I appreciate it greatly as I did not know which board. - TheLionHasSeen (talk) 13:30, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

There's no need to fix something that isn't broken

I'm not sure why you have chosen to re-insert a sloppy edit at Worldwide Communion of Catholic Apostolic Churches. The parameters of an infobox are almost always placed on separate lines. Look at any random article with an infobox and you will see this. Moreover, "General consistency should be aimed for across articles using the same infobox", per MOS:IBX. Yet at Worldwide Communion of Catholic Apostolic Churches, you have gone out of your way to remove all line breaks from the "Template:Infobox organization". There is no harm leaving each parameter on a separate line. In fact, this layout specifically makes it easier for editing. Look at Template:Infobox organization, where all the examples show each parameter of the infobox listed on a separate line. Why have you moved all the parameters onto one line, and now edit war to keep this unusual and less-beneficial style? Magnolia677 (talk) 12:49, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Pardon me, but please refrain from attacking my contributions on that article as "sloppy". Now that this is out of the way, the infobox was changed to infobox Christian denomination, because that is what it is. I expanded upon the contents of the article and corrected their organizations names with their English names. I even linked the new name of the Mexican National Catholic Church, yet you, in seemingly now bad faith, reverted those contributions in ire. If you truly had an issue, it would have been better to discuss rather than ignite a WP:edit war. If you need me, I will be awaiting your response; till then, I am bowing out of Wikipedia as I am no longer able to deal with contributors who consistently vandalize articles and those who, despite information being improved upon in accordance with good-will and regulative approval, continue to revert contributions. Wikipedia does not appear as a safe harbor for progress anymore. A pity. - TheLionHasSeen (talk) 17:54, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

After discussion pertaining to the issue, a glimmer of hope pertaining to continuing contributing to Wikipedia has been granted. Therefore, I would like to forgo the insult toward the contribution, and discuss if it would be preferable to utilize the new infobox template for the Christian denomination, and then maintain line breaks which the visual editor did not register with. I would also love to know if it would also be preferable to restore the grammatical corrections, naming in English, and re-link of the Mexican church. Please respond as soon as humanly possible. Thank you. - TheLionHasSeen (talk) 21:41, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
