Editing

Instead of just marking articles as lacking in citations, perhaps it would be more helpful if you were to take a moment to google the people in question and add citations.--Epeefleche (talk) 16:43, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Reply to editing

Actually, I have copy edited a number of these articles, correcting grammar, restructuring sentences, adding links, fixing references and also researching the subjects and adding content. I simply mark the articles so that they will appear on lists and gain attention. If you feel I have unfairly marked anything, please go ahead and unmark it.Rogermx (talk) 04:10, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

As far as the Gambino edit, I frankly don't even remember what it was. My guess is that it was something minor. If someone would care to explain why it was reverted, I would be pleased to listen.Rogermx (talk) 04:16, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

:Sorry for the delay in responding. I've been away from Wikipedia for a while due to work pressures. I looked back at the history and did not find a reversion of your edits. I also looked at your edits and they looked fine. My conclusion is that I made an error when I left you a warning. I am sorry for that - I don't remember the circumstances but I do apologize. I struck out the warning above. Dougz1 (talk) 14:23, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of Italian American mobsters

Image:Nuvola apps important.svgAn editor has nominated List of Italian American mobsters, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at {{#if:List of Italian American mobsters | Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Italian American mobsters | Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Italian American mobsters }} and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 21:59, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Please, help me

Hi

I'm sorry for bothering, but I really need your help. User:Doc glasgow has reverted the Bonanno crime family page that I've written countless times, due to the fact that he/she means that there are no sources confirming the information I've written on the crime family's bosses and caporegimes, however, I have given up my sources from where I got the information, both from Jerry Capeci's Gangland, as well as the New York Times and the Federal Burea of Investigation news pages on organized crime. Although letting him/her know about this, User:Doc glasgow has not only reverted the Bonanno crime family page, making it seem undone, but also made abusive threats about blocking me from Wikipedia, when really it should be User:Doc glasgow who should be blocked. This person can not be reasoned with, as he/she has been reverting both the Bonanno crime family page, as well as the Colombo crime family page, in addition, the person can not be reasoned with. Please, I need your help!

Formatting and linking

Roger, there has been a recent change in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style: date linking is no longer a part of Wikipedia style. See MOS:SYL for more information. Also, it is inappropriate to link plain English words in most cases. Please see WP:OVERLINK. Thank you. Ground Zero | t 03:40, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Could you help me? This page and the Jimmy Hoffa page are being edited by a Stephen J. Anderson. He is deleting information that was found during an investigation by Charles Brandt and I. Please check out the Jimmy Hoffa page, the Frank Sheeran page also. The information is for public use. Anything you can do to help will be appreciated. --Spectre7277 (talk) 04:02, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Greg DePalma

I noticed that there isn't a bio/entry for Greg DePalma. Do you know enough about him to start one? Seems sort of strange that this guy doesn't have an entry. Would be particularly timely right now given the recent publication of "The Making of Jack Falcone".81.129.156.184 (talk) 16:30, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Capitalization of headings

Roger, thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia.

I'd just like to point out that the Wikipedia style for capitalizing headings is to use "sentence case" instead of "title case", e.g.,

:Important things to know about this subject

not:

:Important Things to Know About This Subject

This may be unfamiliar to many editors who believe that or have been taught that "title case is the right way to capitalize headings". It isn't the "right way", it is one style. Wikipedia has, for better or worse, chosen to follow a different style, i.e., capitalize the heading the same way you would capitalize any sentence:

  • capitalize the first word,
  • capitalize any proper nouns (people, places, organizations), and
  • begin all other words with lower case letters.

See WP:MSH for more information. Thanks. Ground Zero | t 21:31, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Sorting of categories

BTW, there are some (relatively bizarre) oddities about how we use the DEFAULTSORT keyword (and the Lifetime template, which in turn uses DEFAULTSORT).

Sadly, the database software doesn't do the "right thing" in some cases, especially names that have less common capitalizations, e.g. begin with a lowercase letter or contain more than one uppercase letter. We also do not sort on punctuation, such as the "apostrophe" (the ' character we use, since the WP:MOS says not to use the "real" apostophe).

In summary, such names as "D'Amico" and "LiCastri" get sort keys of "Damico" and "Licastri", respectively.

The article Adrian Harpham has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

:Does not meet notability guidelines and is a autobiography

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{tl|dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{tl|dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

25px Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits{{#if:Gambino crime family‎‎|, such as your recent edits to :Gambino crime family‎‎,}} as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Adding or moving images really does not qualify as a "minor" edit. UncleBubba (Talk) 01:14, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

25px Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Gambino crime family‎‎.

Orphaned non-free image File:Gaetano Reina.jpg

Image:Ambox warning blue.svg Thanks for uploading :File:Gaetano Reina.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

He is the brother of Bruno Facciolo who was whacked by the "Mafia Cops", i.e. the Facciolos are notable (although somebody who didn't know anything about the mafia took down the Bruno Facciolo page because, to them, he was "NN gangster"). Wikipedia is becoming less and less useful because of all these stupid nitwit games that people are playing (mostly by teenagers who have found something to do in life by posting/deleting on Wikipedia all day).

George from Canada

I'm trying to add the Gerlando Sciascia murder to the Joey Massino article discussing his dealings with other families (apparently [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jerry-capeci/mob-murder-in-montreal-co_b_417688.html it ticked off the Rizzutos], but I'm not sure exactly what George's role was with the Rizzutos and why it got them so angry. Five Families is no help because it seems to just treat the Rizzutos as a Bonanno crew (p 641).

I saw you worked on George's article, so I wondered if you knew. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 22:23, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

:I think the Rizzutos were originally a crew, but as they became richer and more powerful from the heroin trade, Vito Rizzuto started viewing himself as the boss of a separate family. Massino expected Sciascia to support him in Montreal, but Sciasca was actually more sympathetic with Vito (they came from same place in Sicily). I also think Massino distrusted Sciascia because he was Sicilian (going back to Galante and his Sicilians). Some of the books on the Canadian LCN might give some help.

Joey/KotG

I'm going nuts. I wanna expand on HangingCurve's work on Massino's 2004 conviction, and I know for sure that there is a page in King of the Godfathers that talks about Vitale's reaction when he was informed Massino wanted to kill him, but I can't find it now.

I've got the same printing that I used on the Colombo family article that doesn't match the Google books one, and it doesn't have an index.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Angelo Prisco.jpg)

File:Ambox warning blue.svg Thanks for uploading :File:Angelo Prisco.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:19, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:File:Thomaslucchese58.jpg]]

File:Ambox warning pn.svg

A tag has been placed on :File:Thomaslucchese58.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{tl|Non-free fair use}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Stefan2 (talk) 18:28, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Priya Niehaus

I'm confused about your comment on the Nomination of Priya Niehaus for deletion page that Priya has a "minor" role in the Twin Peaks revival? How do you know the size of her role? She is actually a named cast member, which was properly cited, and there are many others who are acting in this series that are not identified as cast members. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tfwn93 (talkcontribs) 00:21, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

  • Being a named cast member is not a sign of notability. If were a main role, I think her name would have been announced with the stars. Please read this section WP:NACTOR for notability criteria on actors. When her career takes off, Priya would certainly qualify for a Wikipedia article. In any case, it will not be my decision to make. If you click the link in the Deletion box for "this article's entry", you can voice your opinion directly to the administrator.

Galante Article

No of course not and yeah I saw it was a non-member, and thank you.

While I'm here I will be vigorously updating the American Mafia pages, adding some new and fresh sources (some are expired and no longer working) , the current captains and soldiers on separate American Mafia crime family pages are a problem, I've updated the informants and government witnesses sections. I was going to speak to a few Mob buffs on here and organise some reshuffling on the American Mafia pages so we can focus on 1 or 2 sections at a time. Any help will be appreciated.

ThePlane11 (talk) 00:26, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

  • That is a great idea. I did a lot of work on them in the past. Many of the sources were dubious and needed work. I have a NYT subscription, so if you want any info from there, I would be glad to help. Rogermx (talk) 01:20, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

Nice. Well it's just a matter of organising what we need to do and then get cracking on. The problem with some of the "news" articles is that alot of media hype is out there (for example the 2015 first cop inducted into the Mob stories) and I've noticed some websites mixing up details and in general not caring, a common example is Michael Franzese who is referred as a "Mafia boss" alot when he wasn't one. I haven't even started on the captain section due to the need of sources to back it up, I remember when I first came on Wikipedia and Frank Cali was still listed as a captain when he was promoted to underboss and then boss within a span of 2-3 years. I mean some people were listed as captains when they were imprisoned. Some changes are needing done and the pages definitely need updated. --- I'm currently working on the Lucchese informant section, I've completed the other 4 pages.

BSUG wikipage changes

Thanks for some great amends. However, you, at least I think it is you, have removed the names of the committee members and links to the subsections of the society's website where further info of each subsection can be found. I'm new to this so please explain why you have removed these important pieces of information? Thanks

GansThiagUrogynae (talk) 16:54, 11 May 2020 (UTC)GansThiagUrogynae

  • Thank your for your comments. I removed the names in the interest of making the article more attractive to the average reader. Also, in some instances the names will change over time and need revision. Please feel free to re-add the names if you believe they are significant. Rogermx (talk) 17:04, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

AWB genfixes

Bring up the PrimeBOT issues at WP:AWB's bug section; the underlinked tag is added as part of AWB's genfixes and I don't really have control over that (though I'll probably turn that option off next bot run). And for the record, by indiscriminately reverting the bot's edits you've just borked all of those infoboxes. Primefac (talk) 02:11, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

  • I can say that the bot was indiscriminately re-adding wikilinks tags that I had previously removed from these articles because the articles did not need more wikilinks. Since I did not see any other way to get attention to this, I reverted them. I don't remember seeing anything in Wikipedia policy about bots having precedence over human editors. I am sorry about the infoboxes and I appreciate your turning off that option next time. Thank you. Rogermx (talk) 19:00, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Revisions on NCAA basketball teams

I just observed [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?target=Rogermx&namespace=all&tagfilter=&start=2020-06-21&end=2020-06-21&limit=50&title=Special%3AContributions your reversions] to edits made by {{u|Primefac}}. For what reason? JSYK, these edits are initial test run for Wikipedia:Bot requests#Remove deprecated parameter "w/l" in Template:CBB schedule entry.

If you don't like seeing {{tltt|underlinked}} tag, then just remove only the tag or feel free to discuss with the editor who added it. Don't undo the whole thing. – McVahl (talk) 06:42, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

The problem is that this bot (and other bots) are adding the tag indiscriminately to multiple articles in Wikipedia. I had previously removed the Wikilinks tags from these articles, only to have the bot come back and re-add them. Yes, I have previously discussed my concerns with this editor. Yes, I will eventually remove these tags, but then another bot will simply add them back again.

Wikipedia asks editors to reduced the number of articles with these tags, yet it allows autonomous programs (without the ability to judge their appropriate use) to put them in articles. I suggest we remove that tagging capability from the bots.

Irregardless, I will not revert any more articles for this reason. I appreciate your inquiry and I hope that I have answered your questions. Have a good day! Rogermx (talk) 14:21, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

:For what it's worth, I've disabled auto tagging for the bot and started a discussion about auto-adding the underlinked tag. Primefac (talk) 15:26, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Primefac, thank you very much. As I mentioned above, I will not revert any more edits for tagging. Rogermx (talk) 16:03, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

: IDC about the underlink thing. The problem here is how you undo a revision. The bot, again as mentioned above, removes the “w/l” parameter because we’re in process of deprecating it. Reverting bot’s edit, as what you did, restores the “w/l” parameter. Make sure to check diff first before undo-ing anything. – McVahl (talk) 16:17, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

: Thank you for explanation. Perhaps in the future we can disable the undertag feature in bots so that deprecating a parameter does not bloat the list of articles with underlinked tags. Rogermx (talk) 13:02, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Rogermx, what else do you think the Mcgovern article needs to get it right?

BjornintheUSA (talk) 21:38, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

  • Hi Jorn. I noticed that some of the links are now dead ends, including the US Army one. I would see if there are any newspaper accounts that might fill in more of McGovern's background. I found a NY Times Article from Jan 12 1952 - Father Rejects Dead Sons' Medals; Calls Truman Unfit to Confer Them" that mentions the two sons were buried next to each other in Arlington Cemetery on November 15 1951. No other useful information. I hope this advice was useful Rogermx (talk) 16:52, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do

BjornintheUSA (talk) 02:44, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

BjornintheUSA (talk) 02:46, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

I checked all the links, and all are good now. I added a few links from top-tier sources. I could add more detail about the businesses--which are most certainly newsworthy--but I can't find anything else newsworthy about McGovern himself.

BjornintheUSA (talk) 03:09, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

There are lots of other links, but I don't think there is any info in them I can add to McGovern's profile. Lots of articles on his companies work and what they are doing. But nothing in there on him (beyond what is already in the Wiki). There just isn't much info about him online.

Use of the "Expert needed" template without category or reason parameters

I noticed that you added the {{tl|Expert needed}} template to Solar power forecasting, but didn't specify a WikiProject category. Not specifying a category makes the template unhelpful, and adds it to the useless :Category:Articles needing unspecified expert attention. (Additionally, it's crucial to add a reason= parameter, or it will probably be removed because nobody can tell what the problem is). I've added a category for you, but please supply parameters when using that template in the future (i.e. {{expert needed|Politics|ex2=Economics|ex3=Finance & Investment|reason=These GDP figures look like they might be miscalculated}}.

[[WP:PARAGRAPHS]] and [[MOS:BODY]]

Can I ask that you please review WP:PARAGRAPHS and MOS:BODY before you continue editing biographies?

Thank you. Canadian Paul 06:36, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

  • Hello, I am open to any changes you wish to make in the article. However, I do not agree with your reverting the entire article simply because of differences over style. By doing that, you may be reversing other important changes in the content. If I put something in a standalone sentence, it is because it represents a turning point in that person's personal history and should be emphasized for the reader. Like I said, if you disagree, you are welcome to make whatever changes. it should only takes a few minutes of your time. Thank you. Rogermx (talk) 14:44, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

::I have made the those same edits several times and you keep restoring them with superficial changes so that they are not technically "reverts".

In any case, I have restored the article manually per WP:MOS; please do not reintroduce the MOS:BODY and WP:PARAGRAPHS violations and feel free to seek a third opinion if you disagree. I am happy to abide by any decision made there. Canadian Paul 15:19, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

[[Gerald Barbarito]]

I reverted your additions to the article. There is nothing in your references that say the Bishop apologized on September 28th in regards to those two priests embezzling money. Furthermore, this is probably a case of WP:UNDUE. Why is this important to the bishop's article? Barbarito isn't even mentioned in two of the three references. Putting it in the diocese article I couldn't quibble with.

As for Fr. Gallagher and his allegations, that needs to be sourced properly because this a BLP. It is hard to tell, all the sources come at the end of a sentence about a priest being deported and another on Gallagher losing his appeal. BTW, you had the article saying 'Gallagher was due to become pastor of Holy Name of Jesus Parish in West Palm Beach, Florida when he learned that his new assistant pastor, Joseph Palimattom, had shown child pornography to a teenage boy. The Crux now article says Gallagher became head priest in April and that Palmattom didn't arrive till the following December.

What you added was a mess and this is a BLP. I'm not sure if Crux is a reliable source either and plan on going to the RS message board for an opinion....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 02:01, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

  • First off, I am going to request that you review WP:CIV because your comment is sorely lacking in it. Secondly, The Crux Article was listed as an AP story - here is the link to it. https://apnews.com/article/dd56195e9a64402aba768338065ddaca It was a proper source The timing of when Gallagher met Palmatton is not the most important element of the story. You could have easily corrected it - that is what editors are supposed to do - instead, you wiped out the entire story without replacing it! As for the embezzlement, if you look at the NBC article, Barbarito talks about increasing financial controls for the diocese. As the head of the diocese, he is responsible for major crimes that happen, and this was a major crime. That story is now wiped out. By reverting the changes, you also wiped out the story about the Ogdensburg sexual abuse settlement. I hope that it wasn't your intent to sanitize the article by removing content that might make the subject look bad, but it sure looks that way. Rogermx (talk) 03:02, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

:::A mess

::::In none of the sources does it say Barbarito apologized

::::In none of the sources does it say Gallagher wrote the Vatican

::::In none of the sources does it say Gallagher was not yet pastor when Palimattom came to Holy Name

::::In none of the sources does it say Barbarito returned Gallagher's call

:::All of which you wrote into the article.

:::Read WP:BLPREMOVE....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 11:29, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

  • I have no problem with you correcting or removing content. If you had asked, I would have made the corrections you pointed out. BLPREMOVE says to remove the content, not to revert the entire article. Wikipedia is about being collaborative, not combative. Let me quote from WP:REVERT "If you see a good-faith edit which you believe lowers the quality of the article, make a good-faith effort to reword instead of just reverting it. If there is a dispute, editors should work towards consensus. "

Reminder of Wikipedia Policies

Please review MOS:LINKONCE and MOS:NOPIPE. Do not add links if they have already been mentioned in the body of articles. In addition, changing links from, for example, Cardinal Blase Cupich to Cardinal Blase Cupich is unhelpful, serves no purpose, and is not consistent with Wikipedia policy. Please do not replace sources and move paragraphs around without communicating your reasons in edit summaries. I am afraid that many of your recent edits follow bad patterns and I have to ask you to revise your methods. Thank you. Display name 99 (talk) 15:59, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

:Thank you for your posting. I am trying to avoid making redundant links and I remove them when I see them. Frankly, I see no reason why not to add a title to a link - it is part of that person's name and it looks silly to be unlinked. Please explain that to me. I will add more explanations for moving paragraphs - I usually move them that to add more clarity to an article. I might mention that many of these items were previously cut and pasted from their sources. If you can give me more insight into the "bad patterns" that you refer to, or to a particular article, it would be helpful. Rogermx (talk) 16:07, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

::Please be move careful about redundant links. No, a title is not part of a person's name. This is only true in very rare cases, ie. Pope Francis. Timothy Dolan's name is Timothy Dolan, not Cardinal Timothy Dolan or Timothy Cardinal Dolan. "Cardinal" merely signifies the office that he holds. It isn't part of his name. See WP:NOPIPE, which addresses specifically what you have been doing and labels it as unacceptable.

::One thing that might be more helpful would be if instead of making mass amounts of changes in one edit, you instead made different edits to the article. This way, you could describe them more easily and other editors would be able to follow what you are doing. Display name 99 (talk) 20:25, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Rogermx,

I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join the new page reviewing team, and after reviewing your editing history, I think you would be a good candidate. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; the new page reviewing team needs help from experienced users like yourself.

Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, most pages are easy to review, and habits are quick to develop). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR. If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message on my talk page or at the reviewer's discussion board.

Cheers, and hope to see you around, (t · c) buidhe 22:18, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Auxiliary Bishops

Why are you taking out the titular titles? I've been working on getting the pages templated with each other since 2015! Roberto221 (talk) 21:32, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

  • Am taking the titular titles out of the infoboxes because they are only ceremonial titles to convey an epistolic line of succession to long dead bishops. None of these bishops ever go to these places in Tunisia or Algeria - there are no Catholics there. I think that they serve to confuse the reader. However, if you feel that they are that important, I promise that I will restore them in all the articles and add them in articles that are missing them. I only ask that you hold off on reversions. Were there any other issues involved? Rogermx (talk) 21:41, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

File:Information orange.svg Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in :Nicholas Anthony DiMarzio. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 21:43, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

:Explain to me what is in violation of the MOS in this article. Rogermx (talk) 21:55, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

::MOS:HON, for one thing; you're also inexplicably trying to trade "diocese = " for "see = " when that isvery much not our practice. Elizium23 (talk) 21:56, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

:::That is not in the MOS. I can show you dozens of bishop articles that use See instead of Diocese. Rogermx (talk) 21:57, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

::::Regarding MOS:HON, explain how His Excellency is not an acceptable honorific. That is in numerous articles also and is accepted by the Vatican for bishops. Rogermx (talk) 21:59, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

File:Ambox warning pn.svg You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on :Michael Duca. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Elizium23 (talk) 03:13, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

:Rogermx, you appear to be widely editing a large number of articles in the topic area of Catholic bishops. I have challenged your decision to use a nonstandard Infobox parameter, and I have opened discussion on WT:CATHOLIC. You have ignored the challenges to go right on as before. Please cease and desist in your changes while discussion is underway. These reversions are designed to get your attention and cause you to discuss and establish a consensus for or against your changes. If you wish to edit-war instead, then I will be forced to seek further dispute resolution avenues, page protections, and disciplinary action against you. Elizium23 (talk) 03:15, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

::I will look at the discussion as long as you stop reverting articles. I will also refrain from changing diocese to see during this time. If there is an edit war going on, you are the one who has started it. I welcome any dispute resolution and would be happy to pursue disciplinary actions against yourself if need be. Like I said before, you are the one misusing the reversion feature. Rogermx (talk) 03:41, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:List of Decrees of First Plenary Council in Baltimore (1852)]]

A tag has been placed on :List of Decrees of First Plenary Council in Baltimore (1852) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02235a.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Sourcing

Hello. We recently had a conversation in response to an objection that I had to your edits at Donald Wuerl. My primary issue was that you inserted breaks between paragraphs without apparent reason and, most problematically, did not fix the citations. A paragraph could be cited to a source or two that would appear at the end, but by splitting the paragraph and not adding new citations to the end of the first new paragraph, you made that content appear unsourced. You promised to fix this, but you have just done the same thing to Thomas Paprocki. I can only imagine that you have done this to many other articles as well. Do you not realize that you are making information appear uncited, and making it more difficult for readers to verify what is in the articles? Have you learned your lesson or not? Display name 99 (talk) 05:14, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

I just looked at the Paprocki article. Every single paragraph has a citation at the end of it. Rogermx (talk) 16:15, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

February 2024

File:Information.svg Hello, I'm Larry Hockett. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, :Felipe Pulido, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. We are missing a source to support a Bachelor of Philosophy (typically a postgraduate degree, earned after another bachelor’s degree). Larry Hockett (Talk) 16:14, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

:Hi Larry, thank you for letting me know about this issue. I have found a reliable source and created a reference and citation for the Bachelor of Philosophy degree in the article. If you see any other issues, please let me know and I will address them. Rogermx (talk) 17:02, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

::The current citation refers to a bachelor's degree in philosophy, not a Bachelor of Philosophy (BPhil). This difference is what I have been trying to get at since we had the same discussion on my UTP a little more than a week ago. In the interest of accuracy, just go by what the source actually says, pretty please. Larry Hockett (Talk) 18:57, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

:::OK, I get it now. The BPhil is usually a post graduate degree. Will change in this article. Thanks for your patience. Rogermx (talk) 23:09, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

::::No problem. I would just note that the cited source doesn't say it's a BA either. It probably is a BA - in fact, a BA is a hundred times more likely than a BPhil here - but it would be best to go by the cited source and leave as a (lowercase) bachelor's degree in philosophy since the source does not specify.

Re: "John Carroll reversion"

I've never edited an article called "John Carroll" (I'm assuming you're referring to this one). Frankly, I'm not surprised to see there are others who want to revert your problematic edits (which you mistakenly believe to be "improvements"). I'm certainly not going to be lectured about {{tq|"taking the lazy route"}} or how I should spend my time usefully by someone who (1) can't give me the correct article title of the page I was editing; or (2) thinks that copyedits like {{tq|"The Redemptorists then sent as a missionary to Vieux Fort …"}} are an improvement – they're evidently not. And so what if it is just my opinion that we shouldn't be using "Biography" as a section heading? I've brought 34 articles to good article status (18 of which are biographies, with 4 of them on Catholic bishops). None of those biographies use the heading "Biography". What quality content contributions have you been making lately that use "Biography" as a heading? —Bloom6132 (talk) 23:38, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

:Frankly, I am not going to waste my time debating you. If you having nothing in Wikipedia policies that says what I am doing it wrong, I am going to continue doing it. I don't appreciate your condescending remarks either. I also don't care what awards you have gotten. I love Wikipedia, but editors like you make it less pleasant sometimes. Rogermx (talk) 00:50, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Florida dioceses

You've done a very good job at writing up the history of Catholic dioceses in Florida. However, it's not considered a good practice to have large amounts of the same text in multiple articles. I'd like to make the friendly suggestion to split that text into a new article, History of the Catholic Church in Florida, and in each diocese just keep the events that happened within the current boundaries of the diocese. Thanks. Antony–22 (talkcontribs) 00:12, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

File:Stop hand nuvola.svg Your recent editing history at :Raymond Leo Burke 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; read about 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.
