WikiProject Konkan

Hello Lennart97, I just noticed that there is no WikiProject for Konkan, also I noticed your contributions to Konkan, if you are interested in Konkan then why not start WikiProject for Konkan. I have also created a subpage for the editors to whom I have asked the same question, you could find it here. Also I request you if you are interested in this WikiProject then could you ask other editors about there interest in this WikiProject. Regards ExclusiveEditor (talk) 17:34, 1 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

@ExclusiveEditor: Thanks for the offer! I'll have to respectfully decline, as I have no specific interest in, or knowledge of, Konkan :) Lennart97 (talk) 18:19, 1 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

That's ok, also if in future you are interested in any topic but there is no WikiProject regarding or similar to it then ping me, maybe I would be interested in it! ExclusiveEditor (talk) 06:09, 2 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

@ExclusiveEditor: Thanks, will do! Lennart97 (talk) 17:24, 4 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

FNAF 3

From MisterNerdly: I was looking through the source of FNAF 3, and I noticed you reverted a vandalism. I checked what it was, and the guy had copy pasted a bunch of Mr. Hippo lines from Ultimate Custom Night. Thanks for undoing that, but you have to admit it was pretty funny. XD — Preceding unsigned comment added by MisterNerdly (talkcontribs) 17:16, 13 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Well, I guess that explains the vandal's "HIPPO" edit summary :) Lennart97 (talk) 17:41, 13 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Khan el-Ahmar = ?

Lennart, hi. Please, be a bit more careful. Yes, I know, there was an old leftover link there that made no sense, but it wasn't wrong; yours was. It used to be VERY easy to get confused, I did often mix them up too, but now everything is in place to help avoid that, i.e. the Khan al-Ahmar disamb. page, three items branching off from there and each contains cautioning advice as to NOT confuse A with B with C. They do have yet another common element, they're all in the Adummim area, which is linked in all three. So DAB, cross-reference, cautioning text everywhere. Now I've placed hatnotes to the two historical sites, to add yet another layer of clarification. So:

  • Khan al-Hatruri = Inn of the Good Samaritan, SELDOM also called Khan al-Ahmar, has never been a monastery, is next to a castle.
  • Khan al-Ahmar = Laura of Euthymius, has changed from a monastery to an inn.

It's very confusing, I know. Have a great day, Arminden (talk) 10:05, 12 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Arminden: Hi, and thanks for the message. You're right, it's confusing :) If I understand correctly, you want some of these links to refer explicitly to the disambiguation page and not a specific article, right? In that case, you should follow the procedure specified at WP:INTDAB, so that people like myself will no longer keep coming around to try to fix these links. Lennart97 (talk) 10:12, 12 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
I don't like ballast. A bot introduced somewhere something like that recently, that's hard to counter, but I'm not afraid of human editors - either they click on the link and see for themselves, or I write a note like the one here and all is good. It's maybe the Don Quixote in me - I write 12-5-2021, not 12-05-2021, 'cause I'm not a machine. People adapting to machines instead of the other way 'round is "against my religion", and also sooo 1978 :) Arminden (talk) 14:34, 12 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Well, the INTDAB policy is not meant for machines; it's meant for humans like me, who otherwise assume that links to disambiguation pages need to be fixed, and try to fix them to the best of their abilities. The policy is there for good reason, and it certainly does no harm. Lennart97 (talk) 15:56, 12 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Snappers

Care to explain? Quetzal1964 (talk) 22:34, 13 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Quetzal1964: Why so snappy? ;) I assume you're asking why I removed links to snapper (fish) in some articles about snapper species, specifically from the following phrase: a snapper belonging to the family Lutjanidae. Basically, I was fixing links to disambiguation pages, as snapper (fish) links to the disambiguation page snapper. I figured that since Lutjanidae, the relevant snapper family, is already linked, there's no point in making snapper link to a page that lists some other "snappers" which are apparently unrelated to the Lutjanidae, other than that they share the snapper name. I'm no fish expert, though. If you do think there is value in linking to the disambiguation page, I don't object, but in that case the procedure at WP:INTDAB should be followed, i.e. linking to snapper (disambiguation)#Animals. Seems pointless, but it actually keeps people like me from thinking the link needs to be fixed, as the policy page explains. If you want the links restored in this way, I'll be happy to do it myself, just let me know. Lennart97 (talk) 11:35, 14 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hypothermia

Hi. I've replied here as I'm not sure how to reply that'll you'll get a notification. So I removed the notification you mentioned to clean up my talk page because it said clearly in the notification it was ok to remove it. As for not fixing the link, I was too busy with life and the disambiguation page wasn't so confusing and diverse that it seemed to be urgent, as what I was describing was made clear in the text. Thanks for helping with it. --Dr zoidberg590 (talk) 23:51, 17 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Dr zoidberg590: Hi, thanks for taking the time to reply. You can notify people using the "ping" template, as I did here: {{ping|username}}. That way you can reply on your own talk page and still notify the other person; more information is at WP:PING.
Anyway, you're right that a single link to a disambiguation page like that isn't a big deal. But they do altogether add up, so much that there's a whole project dedicated to cleaning them up: Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links. It certainly would help if people clean up their own links. What's way more important than that, though, is to add sources for information you add to articles; verifiability is a core policy of Wikipedia. If you keep that in mind for the future, you'll be just fine. Lennart97 (talk) 10:23, 18 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Question about Shaheen Khan and IMDb

Been trying to help out with Draft:Shaheen Khan (British actress) and filling out the Filmography. I think some of the entries on her IMDb page are incorrect. Should I presume entries that aren't actually in the UK, but were made back in India, such as Chiru Navvuto and Youth (2002 film) were actually starring Shaheen Khan (Indian actress) instead? SilverserenC 05:02, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Silver seren: Confusing isn't it? But yes, I think that's the best approach. I came across the two films mentioned above while fixing links to the disambiguation page, and those are definitely the Indian actress - more generally, there doesn't seem to be evidence of the British actress having played in any non-UK (or non-Western) productions, or the Indian actress having played in any non-Indian productions. It's not great for verifiability purposes - if a source just mentions Shaheen Khan as a cast member, that doesn't technically prove it's the British actress - but I think it's reasonable in this case to assume that British or American productions star the British actress.
Thanks for putting the filmography together, by the way! Speaking of verifiability, should I make sure every single entry has a reference before moving to mainspace? A lot of articles don't bother with sourcing the filmography at all, which is of course not the right approach, but it looks like it will be hard to find reliable sources to verify most of her mostly small roles. For example, I haven't yet been able to find a source confirming her role in Casualty, even though it's a relatively prominent show and she played in 10 episodes. Lennart97 (talk) 08:58, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Update: I found a reference for Casualty, thanks to another Wiki article; it's a book called Companion to contemporary Black British culture. I think there could be more information about her in this book. Do you know if there's a way to access it? Lennart97 (talk) 10:32, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
I found it here, fortunately her entry is included in the limited preview! Good stuff, even birth year and place. What I really can't find, however, is a source about her Satellite nomination. Lennart97 (talk) 11:39, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Just to note, don't hold the move to mainspace merely b/c some films have no refs. They're desirable, but their lack is very far from fatal. --Tagishsimon (talk) 16:58, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, not necessary to ref everything. But if it can be referenced with a proper ref, then it should be. Some of the smaller pieces, such as the short films, may not be able to be just based on online/digitized sources. In related news, I found this source that lists all of her theatre work prior to 2004. Not her roles, so probably isn't a good source for the plays themselves, but is a good jumping off point to find other sources since we now know what productions to look for. SilverserenC 18:29, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Alright, I'll move it to mainspace now :) I hope we can get rid of the cn for the Satellite award soon, but other than that, it's a pretty decent article at this point, and moving to mainspace may even invite some further work on it. Lennart97 (talk) 19:26, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Well, worry no more. Got it reffed. And Variety is a top tier quality source as well. SilverserenC 19:38, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Incredible. How did you find it? Lennart97 (talk) 20:15, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Oh, and another question, in case you know: is this a stub, or already start-class, for assessment purposes? Lennart97 (talk) 20:17, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Just did a deep Google search with her name and the satellite award. And I would say start class at this point. SilverserenC 20:27, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Must have been quite deep indeed! Start sounds good to me too. Thanks! Lennart97 (talk) 20:31, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
(talk page stalker) @Silver seren: You suspect IMDb may be incorrect? I've seen split entries (one person with two different entries) and duplicate entries (one person entered twice). WP:IMDB exists for a reason. IMDb can be a useful resource, but keep your 10-foot pole handy. Narky Blert (talk) 19:55, 25 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Lennart97, thank you for helping to update the links to Zosimus (historian). Your work is deeply appreciated! starship.paint (exalt) 11:54, 31 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Thank you, Starship.paint! I appreciate your appreciation :) Lennart97 (talk) 11:59, 31 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Happy days. Since you appear to be an expert in disambiguation, was wondering if you would be able to answer my query. In this situation, if you hadn't fixed the links, would a bot do it? I think there is a bot for double redirects, but is there a bot for such kinds of links? starship.paint (exalt) 12:02, 31 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
No, there's no bot for it. I think such a bot has been proposed in the past, but never made it, although I'm not sure. In this case, while disambiguating, I caught a handful of links to Zosimus which were not intended for the historian, including a few for the pope and even one for the crab genus. So while it's definitely a bit of work, finding those few bad links is an advantage of having to update the links manually. Lennart97 (talk) 12:09, 31 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Yes, you are right on the advantage. Thank you for informing me on this, now I know I have to do it myself! XD starship.paint (exalt) 12:41, 31 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Sad but true... ;) good luck! Lennart97 (talk) 14:42, 31 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

San Pedro Airport (Nicaragua)

Please re-open the move request on Talk:San Pedro Airport (Nicaragua).

Page mover?

Would you like me to grant you the page mover user right? I think it would be useful for your work at RM and you meet the standard criteria. — The Earwig (talk) 05:37, 11 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

@The Earwig: I would like that very much! It would certainly make closing RMs a lot more convenient, and allow me to help out at WP:RMT. I'll be very careful with it, of course. Lennart97 (talk) 08:42, 11 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
