Sorry, the section to look at is "Custom carried by Slave Holders" Robocon1 (talk) 20:12, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
Thanks
[edit]Thanks for the heads up.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 21:29, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
I notice that you have just tagged the article as C-class for a number of categories.
C-class: The article is substantial, but is still missing important content or contains much irrelevant material. The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant problems or require substantial cleanup.
- The important content is covered
- It doesn't contain irrelevant material
- It is fully referenced
- It doesn't require substantial cleanup.
The article is short because there is not a great deal of information available. All the apparent major events of de' Becchi's life are covered, except his date of birth and education, which are unknown to his biographers.
I would rather that you didn't assess the article at all, rather than assess it as a C-class, when it is plainly to developed, too well written and too well supported with references to fit in that category. Once assessed, an article tends to stay that with that assessment. Would you mind taking another look at it. Amandajm (talk) 12:02, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
- Having has a second look it is apparent that the article is of a higher standard and the content is thoroughly referenced. Sorry for being too careless earlier.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 15:41, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
Hello, recently you added a BioProj assessment to the List of people from Evanston. I edit a lot of these lists and am an active member of the BioProject. I don't disagree with you that this is a Biography related list, but I never saw it that way and was simply inquiring about your reasoning. Cheers. --Dkriegls (talk to me!) 05:51, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
- If I come across a list which does not have a banner for WP Lists already I usually add one. In the case of lists of people I would add a WPBIO banner as well on the basis that it relates to the organization of biography articles. ("The Biography WikiProject concerns the creation, development, and organization of Wikipedia's articles about persons.") I know I am not a member of those projects so if this was against policy I would stop this.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 09:25, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
- P.S. There are also many cases like Talk:List of Bohemian consorts where the article is relevant to a particular work group, in this case Royalty.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 20:57, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
- No, no policy. I was just seeing if you had a compelling enough reason to motivate me to go through and add it to all the People from...lists. Your reason is sound enough for your edit, but not compelling enough for me as I doubt anyone for the project would take notice, if that makes any sense. Cheers. Dkriegls (talk to me!) 05:41, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Christian music
[edit]Thanks for correcting Geistliche Chormusik and the project tag. Most of the other works by Schütz, and hundreds of works by Bach would be in the same project, right? And many other articles I wrote, such as Rutter's Magnificat, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:06, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you, Oxonian bookworm, for quality articles on Cornish villages and churches such as Tintagel Parish Church, and for gnomish work in article assessment for projects, style improvements, redirects, moves, precision, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Rivers Articles
[edit]Hi Johnsoniensis. Thought I would drop by and say thank-you for the rivers assessments you have done over the last year. I think we were both trying to reach the same goal of reducing the Category:Unassessed River articles to zero, which has now been done, at last. Thanks again...Jokulhlaup (talk) 17:00, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
Confused by your edit comment
[edit]Sorry to bother you, but on this edit you placed the comment: "wp x 2". May I bother you to explain what "wp x 2" means? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 12:13, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- It is an abbreviated way of saying two WikiProject banners have been added to the page; "difference between revisions" will show what they are.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 12:20, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks! Yes, I'd worked out that it was an abbreviated way of saying that it was 2 x something - just not what the "something" was. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 13:35, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
Costello
[edit]Hello, that article referenced this book and I can find no mention of that spelling there so presume it is a mistake. Vladeraz (talk) 13:34, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
Image placement
[edit]Hi Johnsoniensis. I see you're moving images on Doom Bar over from the left. My understanding was that images should be staggered from left to right, per WP:IMGLOC. You say it's deprecated in the top left of sections, can you point me to the discussions where that was decided so I can have a look? Cheers WormTT(talk) 11:15, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
weird
[edit]Not sure why you wanted to paint the talk page tags blue in your edit at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_Mexican_saints - it would be much more helpful to do the full assess - as it is you have left ?? in the importance.... Also I rarely ever see any of my talk page editing added or amended. (most eds are not the slightest interested in maintaining project tags) . The 'List' project tag in effect becomes redundant if you have put 'list' as the class in the other projects. I could go on at length, but... If indeed you are interested in project tagging, or in assessing - good luck to you - there is no support for the activity (not that I have ever seen). satusuro 13:08, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
Even weirder - saints - is a stand alone project - and by extension should have only the tag for that project at project pages - so a bit mystified as to why biography creeps in there... ? satusuro 13:13, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
Oh well happy christmas, and in all AGF and all the rest your answer feels quite unconvincing to say the least, trust you have a good new year as well. satusuro

Disambiguation link notification for June 15
[edit]An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Arthur Henry Bullen, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page José Hernández (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
(Opt-out instructions.) --DPL bot (talk) 12:44, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
"(conformity with WM Commons)" is the worst possible reason to move an article title, and not supported by the relevant policy. Where there is a difference, as often, Commons can be pretty much guaranteed to be wrong. Nor did you edit the article to reflect the move. Please move it back.

WikiProject History to WikiProject Russia ?
[edit]Why did you change Timeline of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections from wp:WikiProject History to wp:WikiProject Russia, wouldn't it be both? I don't really know what wp:WikiProjects are. X1\ (talk) 19:21, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

James Hamilton (English army officer)
[edit]Dear Johnsoniensis. Thank you for rating the article James Hamilton (English army officer), to which I contributed. You decided it is a stub. I was surprised, but then I am a newby on Wikipedia, and my English is not native. My understanding of the assessment process is surely still very limited. The article has 11 sections and 52 citations from 28 sources. Admittedly it lacks images. Perhaps, I should not have touched the Projects header of the talk page. With many thanks and sorry for bothering you. Best regards Johannes Schade (talk) 11:51, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
Wikipedia page Talk:Tom Lane (computer scientist) has been changed by Johnsoniensis
[edit]Hi Joansoniessis. I see that you added a "s&a-work-group" tag to the "Tom Lane (computer scientist)" page. I've looked around to try to figure out what that tag is but to no avail... could you please let me know what it is about otherwise I am tempted to remove it. Kind regards ChrisLaneLightfoot (talk) 20:36, 17 October 2019 (UTC) ChrisLaneLightfoot

Researching the statement: ...." In the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, the family owned many castles and large residences. It's said that they owned up to 99 castles but never 100 as this would have required their personal contribution to fund the imperial army."....
[edit]Hi, I came across this statement : ..."In the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, the family owned many castles and large residences. It's said that they owned up to 99 castles but never 100 as this would have required their personal contribution to fund the imperial army."... on the wiki page : https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pálffy_ab_Erdöd&oldid=910976523
I have no idea "how" wiki works, and was trying to email the creator of this page, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pálffy_ab_Erdöd&oldid=910976523, where he would have found this claim/statement. what historic book it might come from, etc., etc..
Sadly, after 20 minutes of surfing wiki, I still have no clue why there are no email addresses of writers here to be found.
Could you possibly help me find the right track and the right way of communication so that I could find out who wrote this page with this specific statement?
any help guiding me into the right direction would be much appreciated,
Regards,
Akos Simon email: [email protected]
I am a direct descendent of the Pálffy-Daun of Erdöd family, and hence am very curious where this claim of 99 castles came from. I am not doubting it, but I never heard of it before. It would be fun to be able to see the source of this statement.
- (talk page watcher) This statement seems to have been added on 15 August 2019 by an unregistered editor, so unfortunately there's no way to contact them by email. PamD 00:21, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Women singers
[edit]As my watchlist showed me, you looked at classical women who sing from AA to Teresa Żylis-Gara, which I guess is last in alpha sort: thank you!! Every time someone edits her article I'm afraid that she died, and I still didn't polish it, - perhaps I just should. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:14, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
Lilly and Madeline
[edit]I'm not trying to get into an edit war with you. Apparently, what adding the workgroup to the template does is add it to the Women's project. I've never seen this before; I've never seen any discussion about it. Can't imagine that is what is intended. Guessing the Music project template is either miscoded or has been boldly changed. I'll look into it. John from Idegon (talk) 00:18, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Boscastle
[edit]Hi, do you have the BBC Pronouncing Dictinary? The Boscastle article gave the pronunciation of Bottreaux as But'ry until this IP edit today. DuncanHill (talk) 22:52, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, I have consulted BBC Pronouncing Dict. However it is not conclusive for Bottreaux at Boscastle or Molland, but only for "Baron Botreaux", so I suppose that means that Butr'y may still be right.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 23:04, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks - the awful thing is I used to know how it was pronounced locally but time has dulled my recall. DuncanHill (talk) 23:41, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- Reading it in a book one could make the pronunciation up for oneself. This reminded me to look at the article St Budeaux which may well follow the same pattern but no pronunciation has been recorded there (it is obviously needed as a French pronunciation may well be wrong in Plymouth). For Prideaux I think there are two pronunciations.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 09:57, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
- Budeaux is Bude-oh. Prideaux is Priddicks for the one near Fowey, I've heard both Priddicks and Priddoh for the Padstow one. Sources will be hard to find - probably 19th century. Trewarmett used to be pronounced (and sometimes spelt) Trerammet. I can remember a few older folk and farmers when I was a little boy down the lane in Treknow who still used it, but you'd be hard pressed to find anyone now using the old pronunciation.

The fate of St Barnabas Community Fete
[edit]Thanks for adding some context to the fete article. The link you've added as a reference doesn't appear to work, though. You're also using what's described as a 2007 source to support a statement about Ralph being the director from 2003 to 2012, which doesn't add up. Did you copy the wrong link across for the reference? --Lord Belbury (talk) 12:01, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
- Oh, I see what's happened now, you copied an old reference from St Barnabas's, Bethnal Green. Not sure what that amounts to, I'll see if I can track down an archived copy of the original. --Lord Belbury (talk) 12:05, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Disabled Wikipedians
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Category:Disabled Wikipedians requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:19, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
I avoided placing these articles in "American x" categories or mentioning nationality in the lede of either because I wasn't able to find sources to support those claims. While they're certainly both likely to be American, it's not something we can necessarily assume – unless, I suppose, we interpret "American" broadly to mean "living and working in the U.S." rather than "born there". Or perhaps you've found some sources I'd missed? Interested to hear your thoughts either way. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 19:16, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
- == Mega Bog and Claire Cronin == Hello, Thank you for your message. The reason for calling them American is the categories "from Los Angeles" and "from Athens, Georgia".

[edit]Hi! :) I noticed that you've rated at least a couple of my recently-created articles. I usually rate my articles for just the one project that I feel qualified to do so, while also adding blank banners (as in, without parameters) for other projects that I think are appropriate. Am I right in thinking that you're then rating the articles for those other projects purely on the basis of my one original rating? I'm just trying to understand the rationale, and more generally how the rating does or should work, because I've asked a few people and received a few different answers, some of which are contradictory, and so far I'm none the wiser, really.

WP Women on talk pages
[edit]Hi there, Johnsoniensis, and thank for your interest in talk pages. I've noticed that you have recently deleted WP Women from a number of women's biographies, despite the fact that the tag had been specifically added by other editors. One of the reasons they did so was because it provides a listing on the WP Women page of articles threatened with deletion. It allows editors interested in reducing the gender gap to take any remedial action which appears necessary. In future, it would help if you left it in place, even though I can understand your logic that if there is a more specific banner, the general banner is superfluous. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 14:33, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Biography and Criminal Biography parameters are different
[edit]Hi Johnsoniensis,
I notice you recently added the following biographic articles about Dong Wenyu, Ned Warren Sr., Alexander Wayne Watson and Thomas Weir to the Crime and Criminal Biography WikiProject by adding banners to the the respective talk pages. In doing so, you appear to have copied the same parameters from the Biography WikiProject banner to the Criminal Biography WikiProject banner. This is not correct because the living= parameter does not work for the {{WikiProject Criminal Biography}}
banner.
To save me amending all your edits, please note that the correct criminal biography banner parameters include: {{WikiProject Criminal Biography|class=|importance=}}

Thanks and a question re: Biographical Dictionary of Republican China
[edit]I see from your "Contributions" that you are doing the important work of making Talk Pages and ratings. Thanks, especially since this does not usually get noticed unless somebody complains.
But I think Biographical Dictionary of Republican China is beyond "Start" ("An article that is developing but still quite incomplete. It may or may not cite adequate reliable sources"). The article is developed, with five or six reviews quoted, an article about it, and a section on recent developments. If you have no objections, I will raise the rating to B.

[edit]Hi Sir,
This is a petty expression of my mind. I feel unhappy that I created the article on Tewolde GebreMariam in March and someone created the same article in another name in June and rather than merge the newer article or point that it already existed, you redirected the article I had created to theirs. I sincerely feel cheated of an article count.
I've said my mind. I did not want to hold it in. Thanks for listening to me. You don't have to undo anything Sir and it's nice to meet someone of your experience.

Article assessment, Listas and Living
[edit]Today while looking at Assessment, class B articles for WP Catholicism, I see from this update here, there is no need to add "listas=" and "living=no" to Non-Bio WPs. It's my understanding that those WPs should inherit Listas & Living from the WP Bio wikiproject as long as WP Bio is listed first. Since I use Rater to update assessment, it's fairly easy to delete those extras but I thought to let you know as well. JoeNMLC (talk) 13:37, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
- Hello, These extra subfields are included by the process of copying from WPBIO and revising those copies for other WPs which is a quick way to create them. I did not know about the importance of deleting them which would take slightly longer. Johnsoniensis (talk) 13:52, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Howard Carter
[edit]FYI: in the text of the image of Howard Carter that you inserted into the Latin wiki, you changed Latin "Fasciculus" to non-Latin "File" (which works but isn't the locally favored term), and your caption uses the ungrammatical mano (for manu, ablative, fifth declension) and fratri (for fratris, genitive, third declension). These will soon have been fixed. IacobusAmor (talk) 12:07, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hello, Thank you for your corrections. I have forgotten much of the Latin I used to know and rarely go to Vicipaedia. The 1924 portrait came from the Russian WP and the caption needed to be better Latin than my hasty version. Johnsoniensis (talk) 18:26, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Importance of lists
[edit]Hello. Re your assessment of McIver yesterday. You've obviously copied and pasted the WP Anthroponymy template for WPs Scotland and Lists, but that means you've copied Anthroponymy's non-standard use of NA importance for Lists. Almost every other project treats lists as a type of article and thus assign an importance to lists - including WP Scotland and (90% of the time anyway....) WP Lists. Of course the real problem is that Anthroponymy really needs to adopt the SI class which would better describe its lists, but that's another matter. Anyway, please can you remember to change the assessment of lists by other projects to something other than NA - it's particularly noticeable for Scotland as I've just had a big push to clear all the unassesseds! Cheers FlagSteward (talk) 23:01, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
- Hello, Thank you for your message, I am not a member of WP Anthroponymy but usually assess two articles there each day. It would make some sense if that project did without importance assessment (like WP Visual arts and WP Netherlands). There are so many unassessed articles everywhere that considering importance as well should have a lower priority. It seems very few editors want to do assessment so many good articles are not identified as such. Johnsoniensis (talk) 10:07, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
- You have to remember the original intention of assessment which was to assign a priority for WikiProjects to work on; I prefer to think of "importance" as "priority", some projects do formally see it that way. We had a good thing going in WP Wine years ago where we collectively attacked the Tops and Highs and got them all up to GA or not far off, which was really worth doing. There's less of that kind of thing these days as WPs are no longer as active as they were, but priorities are still pretty important for the average project where 90% or more are low-priority articles, and it doesn't take that much time to add if you're already assessing. The number of pageviews can be useful in cases where you've no real feel for an article's importance. It's not to be taken too literally - overview articles are always under-read relative to their importance whereas pop culture is relatively...popular - and the numbers vary a bit by subject, but the rule of thumb works surprisingly well that Lows have under 10 views/day and mids have under 100 views/day. Even if it's not a rule to be followed slavishly, it can't be a bad thing to prioritise the articles that our users actually want to read. The Massviews tool can give you the same data in bulk, eg Massviews for Anthroponymy Unassessed which might be useful for choosing which articles to assess in the first place, you might as well do your bit for the most-read articles. Massviews does take a little while to assemble the data so don't be concerned if you get a blank page to start with.
- By way of background, I'm waiting for my assessment bot to regain its approval after lapsing during a long Wikibreak. It's great for ripping through Low Start/Stubs, and for doing the edits quickly for manual reviews of the more complicated ones - but it still takes a lot of time and my Wiki time is limited and sporadic. My main targets at the moment are the big country projects like France and Germany where there's thousands of articles that have been tagged but unassessed since 2007/8, but it will take a while to do.

It's not to be taken too literally - overview articles are always under-read relative to their importance whereas pop culture is relatively...popular - and the numbers vary a bit by subject, but the rule of thumb works surprisingly well that Lows have under 10 views/day and mids have under 100 views/day. Even if it's not a rule to be followed slavishly, it can't be a bad thing to prioritise the articles that our users actually want to read. The Massviews tool can give you the same data in bulk, eg Massviews for Anthroponymy Unassessed which might be useful for choosing which articles to assess in the first place, you might as well do your bit for the most-read articles. Massviews does take a little while to assemble the data so don't be concerned if you get a blank page to start with.
Template atop a page
[edit]Hi. I saw that you recently rated Conrad Tillard. Thanks - I've been working to fill it out. I don't think the template at the of the page is necessary at this point, but thought I would ask you for your view. Thanks. 2603:7000:2143:8500:79D7:90DB:F71F:1BD5 (talk) 23:40, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
- Hello, The article is well sourced and as far as I can see unbiased though the subject matter is quite unfamiliar to me.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 00:42, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
- Many thanks. I appreciate it. I thought so as well, but as I did much of the recent editing, as with ratings I thought it would be great to have another editor's input. Thanks for addressing it. Also, from the talk page, it looked as though there had previously been some kerfluffle about the article (I myself only first edited the article a few days ago, within the past week, but found the story it reflected to be very interesting). --2603:7000:2143:8500:2446:8158:55F9:494B (talk) 04:58, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

WPHisSites - Warnborough College
[edit]Last November, you added Warnborough College to WikiProject Historic Sites. I'm thinking that the only "historic site" it was ever associated with was the former Plater College buildings at Boar's Hill, which burned down and were demolished for redevelopment years ago. I wonder if including it in that project is a bit of a stretch. Banks Irk (talk) 22:10, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- Yes that WP seems to have little relevance there. Johnsoniensis (talk) 18:15, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks. Banks Irk (talk) 20:01, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
You do a lot of ratings, but have you ever actually read this? I suggest you do so. The article contains all known biographical facts about Mignon, and mentions most of his works. It's not even that short, if you assess purely by length, as most assessors seem to do. Johnbod (talk) 04:19, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
Thank you so much for your assessment of the article. Do you have any specific pointers about what can be done to make it better? I would welcome any feedback. Evansknight (talk) 16:09, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for your message. On a second look the article easily meets B class criteria but for German articles a B rating cannot be given without completing the form; so as not to spend too much time on one article I opt out of this. In fact the article looks as if on more thorough consideration GA or A ratings might be given. Johnsoniensis (talk) 13:25, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you very much. I know very little of the assessment process, so I am just grateful for all that you do to help us improve the quality of Wikipedia as a whole. Evansknight (talk) 20:53, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
Signatures at WPs
[edit]We don't add own signatures when we add WPs, e.g. I reverted this https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category_talk:Russian_individuals_subject_to_European_Union_sanctions&diff=next&oldid=1145652228
And please use full WP names, e.g. WikiProject Biography instead of {{bio}}. And I recommend to use "yes" instead of "y", which is not self-explaining--Estopedist1 (talk) 14:06, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for your message. When such a page is created the signature gets added automatically. I see the point of the other advice. Johnsoniensis (talk) 15:28, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
--Estopedist1 (talk) 14:06, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
- you are right about "Tag:New topic", it adds signature automatically. You should avoid to use "Tag:New topic" when creating a talk page. Otherwise, someone has to do cleanup work every time you create a new talk page Estopedist1 (talk) 15:46, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
Puzzling ruling
[edit]You have very kindly given a grading of B (which is perhaps more than it deserves) to my article Anaclasis (poetry). Meanwhile I have written a companion article, Metron (poetry), which I think is just as good if not rather better; certainly I have done my best to satisfy all the Wikipedia criteria. And yet recently it was graded as "Start" class. It is clearly nothing like the example of a Start-class article on the grading-criteria page, so why Anaclasis should be given a B but Metron only a Start grade is a mystery. It is a bit of an imposition, I know, but if you could cast an eye on the Metron article and check if it has been correctly graded I would be most grateful. Kanjuzi (talk) 16:45, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
- Hello; I think at least a B rating is amply justified for both articles. Possibly the lower rating is due to hasty assessment when the assessor only considers grades of start or lower so as not to spend too much time on each article.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 16:53, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for the regrading! And for your regrading of Mark Hanna Watkins too. I thought that other reviewer was being a bit too hasty. Kanjuzi (talk) 17:33, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

[edit]Hello, quick question on this edit. Why remove him from higher education? Is that project not for professors at colleges/universities? --Engineerchange (talk) 12:51, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
- There seems not to be a rule about this but this aspect of academics is in the majority of cases dealt with by adding the science and academia work group of WPBIO. Adding Higher education as well seems to me unnecessary.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 15:20, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
Rater script
[edit]It looks like you're doing a lot of work on rating articles for WikiProjects. You might find the user script User:Evad37/rater handy. You just add the code to User:Johnsoniensis/common.js (make it look like User:WhatamIdoing/common.js – don't worry about the warning; it's just boilerplate) and a new feature, "Rater", will appear in the menus near the History tab (exactly where depends on your skin, but try looking for one called "Tools").

Latin tenses (semantics) article
[edit]I am surprised that you think the article Latin tenses (semantics) article is worth giving a B grade to. First of all, the material in the tables is simply copied from from another article, Latin tenses. Secondly, it was the author himself, Daniel Couto Vale, who originally added the rating. (Although Austronesier is credited with 72% of the authorship, this is only because he helped Daniel by copying and pasting the material for him. The real author is Daniel.) And he gave it this rating on the very first day, 13 November 2022, before even starting work on his edits. Thirdly, the material which Daniel himself has added is highly questionable, and he uses terms which are not found in any grammar book, such as agere coepero = "secondary present" (in fact agere coepero "I will have begun to act" is not usually considered a tense at all). No reference is given for such terms. So I'm very puzzled. This article in my opinion doesn't meet the criteria for grade B. It's not suitably referenced and doesn't have reliable sources for things which are likely to be challenged. Can you explain why you have given it a B? Kanjuzi (talk) 18:18, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
- In view of your explanations I have cancelled the B rating.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 20:05, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
- Great! Good sense has prevailed. Kanjuzi (talk) 09:56, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Question
[edit]Hi Johnsoniensis, I've noticed you do a lot of rating so I had a question you might be able to help with. I've been working my way through CAT:UNBIO but as you can see in the "A" section, there are a bunch of dab pages getting indexed as unassessed recently. If you go to the talk pages of these dab pages, the source code says dab as the class but the talk page banner is blank instead of displaying it as a Disambiguation page. Thoughts? ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 02:39, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
- Hello, Thank you for your message. I am sorry but do not know why this practice was introduced. Johnsoniensis (talk) 10:40, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Bellaire Goblet Company
[edit]@Johnsoniensis: Thank you for updating the talk section of Bellaire Goblet Company. I noticed you rated it as C-Class. Is there something that is preventing it from being B-Class? The person who gave it a C-Class for Companies said that "The article is suitably referenced with in-line citations, however, I note that you have included a list of both in-line citations and a separate list of bulleted references. Numerous references within the bulleted list could be cited as relevant secondary sources within the inline citations of the article." (see User talk:Tynewyrd#Bellaire Goblet Company) Evidently that person does not understand how Harvard references work. I believe the article passes the B-Class criteria (and maybe GA). If not, let me know—and I will fix the problem. TwoScars (talk) 20:36, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, Thank you for your message. The C rating was made on the assumption that the earlier rating was still o.k. I see now that a B rating is justified and probably also GA. Johnsoniensis (talk) 21:09, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks TwoScars (talk) 21:37, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello Could you revise the rating of this article? I think it's definitely not "Start". Thank you. Norden1990 (talk) 01:44, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- Obviously B class.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 09:17, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
Banner shell
[edit]Is there a reason you are removing {{WikiProject banner shell}}? Near as I can tell, you're removing this as you add individual WikiProjects, as you did here [2].

Request to remove "WP Christianity" from Talk:First_Unitarian_Church_of_Rochester_(building)
[edit]Hi,
I notice that you added a "WP Christianity" banner to the talk page of the "First Unitarian Church of Rochester (building)" article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:First_Unitarian_Church_of_Rochester_(building) )
I suspect that banner was added by mistake because Unitarian churches are not Christian churches. They are non-creedal churches, as explained in the main article for "First Unitarian Church of Rochester". A member of a Unitarian church is as likely to be a pagan or a Buddhist as a Christian and is even more likely to be an agnostic or atheist. They would be offended at having their church labeled more narrowly as "just" Christian.
Would you consider removing that banner?
Thanks, Bilpen (talk) 00:06, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, Thank you for your message. I am aware of the distinction but was misled by the listing at Category:Unassessed Christianity articles where Unitarian Universalist is listed as a subcategory. Perhaps something needs to be changed there. I have made the change requested. Johnsoniensis (talk) 09:12, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! Bilpen (talk) 12:36, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
