Oh the celebrated case of the one East European BLP on Wikipedia bravely targeted for Anglicization by a little band of valiant defenders of English Wikipedia. Remove her shameful accent aigu. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:14, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I have no idea why Phryné was moved. But IF moved, please clean up after it, especially in templates. Or should it be moved back? I changed the composer's template. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:02, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi In ictu oculi,

I looked up BI (the disambiguation page)) and found the table of contents on the right. I think this is a good solution and indicates a free spirit. Then I searched the history to find who was so smart and free. That's how I came upon your name and user page. There I saw that you have done a lot in music too.

This led me to the idea that, maybe, you could give me a hint.
I (try to) enjoy music via internet radio.

As for voices: I love beautiful voices like Elvis (in his best time, that is: when he was young) and Vicky Leandros (in her teens and twenties) or "Plava Laguna" in the film "The Fifths Element"; and I prefer few instruments, not big orchestras, e.g. pan flute, violine, clarinette, saxophone and trombone. I just realized: they are the ones which can start gentle.

As for drums: I love them when they happen to be from natural instruments which are big and have a solid bottom (not this western military style sound), and are recorded with microphones (not electr(on)ic pick ups) (minimum one meter away), then their sound is astounding enthusiasing, even more when their cases are thick wooden. But I hate the beats in modern music especially from snare drums (as they are used since Rock'n Roll was invented - after the Hawaiian music - and musicians started to use these "rock'n roll" drum kits). I hate such beats especialy when they are louder than the rest of the music, which just spoils the complete song -- for me, even if it was played and recorded analog. However, I love the snares in "Bolero". But I even more disgust beats which are artificial (that is: with a digitally made rectangle ascent).

Do you know of music stiles which do not have (artificial) beats in them? Sometimes I listen to the internet radio station "Cheap music" which features Music from the US from the 20s to the 50s, but these are not all enjoyable to me. I also tried two Irish music channels but constantly the same type of fiddle or singing is just too much. I once enjoyed the bouzouki in a film of the 1970s where the bouzouki was played light and gentle, so I tried a Greek channel, but almost all their bouzouki was played hard to the max and with the microphone much too close to the strings (I suppose). Plus most Greek female singers's voices sound like very old women and the men much too rough.

So, a hint or two out of your big chest of experience would be very apreciated.
I would also apreciate a ping, Steue (talk) 20:46, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Given your previous participation in discussions here about diacritics, you may be interested in a blog post I wrote briefly summarizing the 2011–2013 English Wikipedia diacritical mark conflict on the occasion of The New York Times appearing to relent and start using Vietnamese diacritics for seemingly the first time ever. [1] It's just one online-only op-ed so far, so nothing to reopen an RfC about on its own, but hopefully it brightens your day as much as it did mine. Maybe it's the start of something big. Also, I updated WP:DGUIDE to acknowledge the recent acceptance of diacritics by the AP (of all things). Minh Nguyễn ^💬 17:35, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's very much a technical issue. en.wp had both the editors and software to do it, for free. I worked in publishing at the same time and we only used full font VN for one high-MOS series of travel books, because it helped readers and the cost was worth it, but that's (a) a free encyclopedia, and (b) quality books. Newspapers would need to have proofreaders standing by in 100 languages, it's just not practicable, or wasn't then. The "English names" contingent didn't understand that. And still don't, we've got one sore thumb Serbian tennis bio remaining on en.wp as a trophy for the "English names" lobby. Publishing has different rules for reference books vs time sensitive news publications. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:27, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Khoa đẩu" is the Vietnamese term for the Chinese tadpole script, claims about an ancient script with such name is solely from the self-proclaimed pseudohistorian Đỗ Văn Xuyền whose 2013 book have been completely refuted by Vietnamese scholars. The according article in the Vietnamese wiki has long been deleted.

Hi In ictu oculi, looking for your help on a matter. I recently substantially expanded Cataldo Amodei and found this edit from yourself adding a music edition to the article.

The article Franco De Rosa has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Hello :) I am writing my MA dissertation on Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict, and I noticed that you have contributed to those pages. My dissertation will look at the process of collaborative knowledge production on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the effect it has on bias in the articles. This will involve understanding the profiles and motivations of editors, contention/controversy and dispute resolution in the talk pages, and bias in the final article.

For more information, you can check out my meta-wiki research page or my user page, where I will be posting my findings when I am done.

I would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to fill out this quick survey before 8 August 2021.

Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous. There are no foreseeable risks nor benefits to you associated with this project.

Thanks so much,

Hello In ictu oculi,

Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.

Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.

At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.

There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.

Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.

An article you recently created, The Red Sun, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
