Re:Piada dei morti

I just finished reading everything you wrote to me, do what you think is right, and thank you. JacktheBrown (talk) 20:25, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

However, if you're good at adding descriptions (and you're) you could also do this for "panzerotto" on the list of Italian foods and drinks page (paragraph: common pizzas). JacktheBrown (talk) 00:16, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

		The Current Events Barnstar
		For keeping Where is Kate? reliably sourced and having a neutral tone. TheSpacebook (talk) 21:23, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge your incredible effort and dedication in the article Where is Kate?. Your hard work and commitment to keep it reliably sourced hasn’t gone unnoticed. To protect the integrity of the main Catherine, Princess of Wales article, creating the article was the right thing to do, and your decision to put the article up for AfD immediately was also the right thing to do. It demonstrates your commitment to upholding the highest standards of quality and accuracy. Despite the uncertainty that comes with such a process, you stood by your convictions, and for that, I commend you.

The fact that the article survived the AfD speaks volumes about the consensus of the significance of the topic. Please know that there is absolutely no reason for you to feel guilty. In fact, the survival of the article is a testament to its notability and the compelling arguments presented in its defence.

Your contributions enriched the article. You wrote it with a neutral tone, well sourced, kept it focused on the media coverage, and well clear from promoting the conspiracy theories.

Once again, thank you for your outstanding work. TheSpacebook (talk) 21:23, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Rightly so, To protect the integrity of the main Catherine, Princess of Wales article as @TheSpacebook puts it, is the reason why the article will sustain itself on Wikipedia if it does exist in the future. So that whenever there is extensive media coverage on the Princess, apart from all that has been confirmed by the Palace and reliable high quality sources like the BBC and ITV, the remaining information can be thrust into this article given the page is moved to an alternative title different from its present one. Looking forward to our future collaborations with each other. Regards MSincccc (talk) 07:42, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi @TheSpacebook, thanks for your kind words, all of which equally apply to you. Unfortunately, this is not a barnstar I feel that I can accept. Thank you, likewise, for all your hard work in continuing the article's reliable sourcing and high standards; it has been a pleasure to collaborate with you. IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 12:05, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

@IgnatiusofLondon Well will you collaborate with me to help fix the article's prose, citation parameters and other necessary stuff so as to help improve its quality and assessment class? I would be willing to do so. Regards and keep contributing to Wikipedia because regardless of whether the article is relevant or not you must have invested a significant amount of time working on it. Regards MSincccc (talk) 14:10, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Per the notice on my userpage, I do not intend to make any further edits in this topic area. IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 14:20, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Request

Well I have also significantly contributed to the Where is Kate? article. I still did not receive a talk page notice from you as you have done with other editors regarding the AfD. Just to let you know that should the article be retained, I would like to discuss a good number of changes related to the citation parameters used in the article's source as well as the article's prose. Looking forward to our future collaborations and a positive response from you. Regards MSincccc (talk) 11:48, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I didn't leave a notification on your talkpage because I remembered that you had already contributed to the new AfD, and were therefore aware of its existence. IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 12:04, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Where is Kate? (3rd nomination)

Hello, IgnatiusofLondon,

I thought you did a great job summarizing the odyssey of this article in your deletion statement. It especially holds weight as you are not only the nominator but the creator of the article.

I'd just like to make one suggestion to you. I see valid arguments on all sides of this discussion (Delete, Keep, Redirect, Merge and even Move) but the only consensus I see right now is that editors are tired of the discussion about this article. I think if just one of our regular closers closed this discussion in a week, no matter what the resulting closure was, it would be going back to another Deletion review. So, just to encourage a thoughtful consideration of editors' opinion and avoid another deletion review, I think it would be a good idea to go to WP:AN and suggest that there be a panel of three admins to handle the closure of this discussion. This is not uncommon with contentious discussions like this one has become. There are a few good reasons for doing this, having a trio of admins make this decision usually results in admins who are not regular closers to participate in the review and I think it would help to get some fresh perspective handling this closure rather than one of the few regular closers we have (which includes me!). Also, a panel decision is more likely to "stick" and not be contested because a group of admins usually presents a very understandable and coherent closure statement. Luckily, you just started this AFD the other day so there is almost a week to find three admins who have been uninvolved with any of the prior discussions. What do you think? Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:41, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi Liz, thank you for your message and kind words. I think this is an inspired suggestion that absolutely should be taken up for the reasons you cite; I will leave a message on the noticeboard now. Fingers-crossed we can find three admins! IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 10:30, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello IgnatiusofLondon,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

A barnstar for you!

The Barnstar of Diplomacy

Hey IgnatiusofLondon, while we don't see eye-to-eye on the ongoing deletion discussion, I wanted to acknowledge the sheer amount of work and diligence you've put into the thorough nomination and deletion rationale and commend you on your outstanding work in every step along the way. You've made great efforts to ensure your policy-based arguments are factual and grounded and acknowledged the limitations thereof, which always (in my opinion) strengthen the overall quality of the argument. As a diligent writer and editor, Wikipedia is better for having you around. microbiologyMarcus [petri dish·growths] 16:56, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

I gather from your recent writings that the whole ordeal has taken a tole on you, so I just wanted to let you know you're supported and, regardless of the outcome, your work is greatly appreciate! Look forward to seeing you around on the project! Cheers, microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 16:58, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so much, MicrobiologyMarcus: my editorial confidence having taken quite a knock in the last few weeks, this really means more to me than you might think, and I am very grateful for your kind and supportive words, as I was also very grateful for your thoughtful and considered contributions to the AfDs and DRV. I look forward to the ordeal being over, one way or another, and being able to display this shiny barnstar on my userpage :)) IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 17:13, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

I second this. As reflected in the barnstar I gave them, it’s clear to see Ignatius is an outstanding editor shown by the well written, policy based arguments they consistently put forward, and engagement with other editors. An asset to the whole encyclopedia. TheSpacebook (talk) 18:45, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello

I trust there are no ill feelings toward me. I've made every effort to remain neutral in all my responses to you (and others). I've never intentionally caused harm or hurt anyone's feelings, and I hope you're doing well both mentally and physically. By the way, did you only recently become acquainted with the British royal family? Creating the entire article was quite a substantial task, not to mention the additional time spent on its improvement and the deletion reviews and AfDs. I look forward to our future collaborations. Regards and faithfully yours, MSincccc (talk) 06:14, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi MSincccc, no ill feelings at all, and I'm sorry if I've said or done anything to suggest otherwise. Thank you for your kindness and concern. It's a pity my userpage is temporarily usurped by the fiasco, given that it is a helpful introduction to me, but I don't have an editorial interest in the British royal family and do not expect to be editing in this topic area in the future. IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 09:22, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Would you be open to collaborating on another article from the ground up? We could strive to achieve GA and FA status with it. If you're agreeable to the idea, we could start working on it soon. What do you think? But it should be backed up by reliable sources and not be speculative like Where is Kate? Regards MSincccc (talk) 13:09, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

This is a kind and thoughtful invitation, but as I say, I don't really have much of an interest in this topic area. Most of my contributions concern other topics, principally relating to Rimini and San Marino. It's fairly rare for me to venture into other pastures, and even then, I tend to stick to less-traversed articles. So Where is Kate? has been an extraordinary venture, in all meanings of that word, of my Wikipedia hobby so far. I've also never been involved in the GA/FA process, and that's partly by choice, knowing that those projects tend to have quite large backlogs, and partly by consequence of the context of my topic areas. So, while the invitation is kind and I hope there will be some intersection of our interests that will lead us to collaborate in the future, let's see how things go. And to be quite honest, once the future of Where is Kate? is certain, I'm very much looking forward to spending a good few days or weeks off-wiki :)) but thank you once again, and I do look forward to collaborating in the future. IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 14:01, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

@IgnatiusofLondon Are you a Londoner by the way as your username would suggest and is Ignatius your real name?

As far as collaborating is concerned, I am ready to work on any decent, not mature article suitable for a pre-teen as long as I have a good partner to work with. Regards and faithfully yours, MSincccc (talk) 17:10, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. I am a Londoner, and no comment on my real name to protect my identity :)) IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 20:26, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

I would collaborate on any decent article if you are not averse to the proposal. Looking forward to knowing from you. Regards MSincccc (talk) 05:30, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Reference case for Where's Kate discussion

What I hope to draw your attention to on the Chinese WP involves two public figure pages and one list page: Tong Liya (a famous Chinese actress), Shen Haixiong (the head of the China Media Group, a state-run media company) and controversies around China Central Television. I'll make a hyperlink in my reply in the AfD. (No idea whether Google translate from Chinese to English is accurate enough but anyway...)

• Summary: Tong divorced in May 2021 and the spread of the news was restricted by Weibo (allegedly because the authorities were promoting a “cooling-off period before divorce” policy at that time). Later in December it was rumored that she remarried Shen (certainly of political scandal nature). The allegation was immediately wiped off from all Chinese social platforms, and soon the Beijing police arrested three suspects for false statements. Tong’s agent declared she was still single.
• My opinion: On the Chinese WP, info around the controversy was scattered in the three above mentioned pages. It’s a typical case of a conspiracy theory that vanished quickly: it involved only two public figures, and lasted for only a few days (since the authorities immediately cracked down on it), and was only another humble page of censorship history within China. But Kate’s story is obviously far more complicated: it started from her months long of public absence, and the public opinion finally exploded with the Kensington's disastrous photoshoped post, and it lasted for more time (though it admittedly also died within weeks) and made headline story globally (from MP Galloway to Stephen Colbert, from never complain never explain to Russian cyberwarfare) Now it is definitely more than a humble page of "British monarchy's public image history"; if we break all these things into pieces, then search time for a reader interested in the whole Gate will be multiplied. That is what I refer to as "compilation value", i.e. value as a standalone story. That is where I find a distinction between Kate's case and other frenzies.

Jason211pacem (talk) 18:21, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Jason211pacem, thanks for taking the time to compile this interesting and relevant analogy. I think the treatment that this case receives across the three articles is comparable to what I think the long-term encyclopaedic coverage of Where is Kate? should be. A complication here is that most of the information appears to be at Tong Liya's biography, rather than Shen Haixiong's (which on the one hand might make some sense given it was her alleged remarriage that was at the heart of the controversy, but on the other hand, editors reading Shen Haixiong are not readily directed to learn more at Tong Liya's article). Meanwhile, the entry at Controversies related to China Central Television seems strange to me, given that China Central Television doesn't seem to have that much relevance to the controversy except by virtue of Shen Haixiong's position.

Instead, in Where is Kate?'s case, Catherine, Princess of Wales serves as a fairly natural article to host the relevant information about the circumstances which caused the speculation, and a subsection on her health will likely include one or two additional sentences of context that can make Catherine, Princess of Wales#Health a natural Further information or See also target in articles that need to discuss the speculation and controversy.

I don't want to litigate the AfD too much here (though we can and I can move our comments to the AfD if it would be relevant), but regarding the "compilation value", my opinion remains that this story is of interest to multiple topics – republicanism in the United Kingdom, privacy and the British royal family, public image of Catherine, etc. – that, individually, do not require the full set of events to understand what part of the controversy/narrative is relevant to that particular topic, and I am not sure what seeing the full set of events will add to these readers. For example, a discussion on privacy doesn't really need to talk about the Mother's Day photograph, and a discussion on republicanism doesn't really need to talk about the Windsor Farm Shop video or William cancelling his attendance at the memorial service. In the case of the controversy you highlight, this isn't quite the case, because there aren't that many multiple topics interested in the controversy: the biographical articles, yes; China's attitudes on divorce, yes; and censorship, yes; but what else? The controversy is also fairly short to summarise, at least judging by what has been written across the three articles you've linked: it is an event, rather than a set of events in Where is Kate?'s case.

"Missing food and drink"

I'm ready. Could you create the article? I'll look for the sources. JacktheBrown (talk) 13:24, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Sure, see Draft:U cumbitu. I've extrapolated what I could from the source I left on your talkpage yesterday. No need to go through the AfC process; we can page-move it onto mainspace once it's ready. IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 13:43, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

I found this source, it isn't the best but it's among the most authoritative I have found: https://digilander.libero.it/galatro.rc/tradizion2/disum_cumbitu_sangiuseppi.htm. JacktheBrown (talk) 13:52, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

I searched "pasta fagioli calabria san giuseppe" and am now getting some results for the spelling "u 'mmitu"? My hunch is that we need to try a few different variations! IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 13:57, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Couldn't you have chosen a simpler subject? I'm joking ahahaha. JacktheBrown (talk) 15:15, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

I did say that we would have to scrape sources ;) One concern I have now is whether u cumbitu refers to a pasta and chickpea dish, as the first source suggests, or a banquet/social event, as the source you've provided suggests. IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 15:24, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

According to Italian sources, the second. JacktheBrown (talk) 15:39, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

I think I've solved the mystery: we're talking about lagane e ceci as the principal dish. I'll keep expanding Draft:U cumbitu to see if we have a viable standalone article, but a merge may otherwise be in order (probably with [Draft:U cumbitu]] as a subsection of lagane e ceci. By the way, commons:File:Lagane e ciciari ara cusentina.jpg can be added to that article's infobox. IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 20:56, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Well done (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lagane_e_ceci&diff=prev&oldid=1218248367). JacktheBrown (talk) 17:27, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

I couldn't and wouldn't have done it without you! :)) IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 17:29, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, but this time you did it all, I only got the source and little else. Thanks to you! JacktheBrown (talk) 17:33, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Bibliography

Hi, I added a new reference (BOOK) to the Carbonara page, how do I change the page? It's no. 75. JacktheBrown (talk) 13:10, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Please check I've added it to the right book! Usually, go to the template documentation and find the name of the relevant parameter. IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 13:15, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

No, it doesn't work, also because I took the source from the spaghetti alla puttanesca page and there was no page number; I would also like to add this book to the pasta alla gricia page. JacktheBrown (talk) 13:21, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm confused what you're trying to do. Is it the 2007 or the 2013 book that should have page 75? In the wikicode, the parameter that needs adding/changing is "|p=75", so simply remove "|pages=" if that parameter exists and swap it for "|p=75", or add "|p=75" if the "|pages=" parameter doesn't exist yet. IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 13:42, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

I simply took the source from the spaghetti alla puttanesca page; anyway, 2013. JacktheBrown (talk) 13:46, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Why didn't this edit work then? With that edit, the citation read (emphasis mine):

Zanini De Vita, Oretta; Fant, Maureen B. (2013). Sauces & Shapes: Pasta the Italian Way. New York: W. W. Norton & Company. p. 75. ISBN 978-0-393-08243-2.

IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 13:48, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

As I told you, the page from which I took the source (spaghetti alla puttanesca) doesn't provide this parameter, so there should be another way. JacktheBrown (talk) 13:51, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Okay, now I think I understand what you mean. You want the book (without the page number) to be in the bibliography, then you want an inline citation that links to the book and specifies the page number. Note that this will be inconsistent with what the article currently does for the 2007 book. Is that what you mean?

The inline citation you want to add is {{sfn|Zanini De Vita|Fant|2013|p=75}} in the desired place in the article body. IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 13:55, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Soppressata and sopressa

Soppressata and sopressa are the same food, yet we have two different pages; how do we solve this problem? https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soppressata. JacktheBrown (talk) 13:46, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

If you can think of any reason at all why an editor would object, WP:MERGEINIT. Otherwise, skip to WP:PROMERGE. IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 13:50, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

I have never proposed a merge, because I have never been in this situation; I haven't quite understood how to do it. JacktheBrown (talk) 13:59, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you

I'm very glad that there is another person who cares enough about Italian food on en.wiki, you make me feel less alone in this (Talk:Cotechino#Merger from Cotechino Modena); thank you. JacktheBrown (talk) 14:42, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks to you! One thing I find helps the loneliness is tracking my pageviews, which returns the pageviews of every page wikilinked to this page that I maintain. Here is a query for every wikilink in List of Italian foods and drinks. IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 15:49, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Since you are English, could you please help me with this sentence? "Although there may be many variations of the same Italian food, and though there are certainly many variations under the umbrella of the term zuppa toscana, classic zuppa toscana's main ingredients are cannellini beans, potatoes, and kale." (zuppa toscana). I have already used "Although" (here: "although in Italy it is called "minestra di pane", meaning 'bread soup'.") and wouldn't like to repeat it; I know that in English there is also "even tought", although in writing it's not formal enough; do I use "despite"? JacktheBrown (talk) 18:59, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

There are quite a lot of superfluous words that don't really, in my view, add anything to that very long sentence. I also don't think a general comment about Italian food is apposite. I would simply write: "While there are many variations of zuppa toscana, its classic ingredients are cannellini beans, potatoes, and kale". IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 19:03, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much! If you want you can edit the sentence (by the way, I didn't write it, it was already there). JacktheBrown (talk) 18:08, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

If you are interested, I'm currently working on the vastedda page; I think it can be expanded. If you want to help me, we could start improving the sentences already there. JacktheBrown (talk) 19:07, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
