- I wasn't sure whether I've put this one and Schramm's model of communication under the most appropriate categories at Wikipedia:Good articles - feel free to move them around there. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 23:10, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
- I'm not sure that there is a good fit in our GA categories for topics in communication theory. Maybe "Culture and cultural studies" is as good as it gets so I'll leave it as it is. Another candidate would be "Anthropology, anthropologists, sociology and sociologists". Phlsph7 (talk) 08:29, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Dunning–Kruger effect
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Dunning–Kruger effect you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

Suggestion
Hey Phlsph7, I was reading Declarative knowledge and I had a suggestion for citing multiple sources in one reference. You may find the Template:sfnm easier to use and much more aesthetically pleasing. Keep up the great work! Cheers. — Golden talk 16:44, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- Hello Golden and thanks for the suggestion. I have considered using the sfnm template. One thing I dislike about it is that it displays all the references in the same line. This can get confusing if there are many references. The multiref2 template uses a new line for each reference, which I find more helpful for readers. Phlsph7 (talk) 07:12, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Education you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of DimensionalFusion -- DimensionalFusion (talk) 20:03, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
sfn tool?
Hey @Phlsph7, I have no experience working with Wikipedia scripts (although I probably ought to educate myself), but I'm wondering if you have any documentation on the script that, if I understand correctly, you used to at least partially convert ref tags to sfn, or to generate a proper list of works cited?
I've been cleaning up the Martin Heidegger page, and this could save me a lot of tedious labor. Ref tags work fine on short articles, but on larger articles with long histories they make everything very cluttered. It is more difficult to assess sourcing issues for the article as a whole, and it is also more difficult to edit around all the extra text.
Let me know —
Cheers, Patrick J. Welsh (talk) 17:50, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- @PatrickJWelsh: I haven't published the script I used because it is very unintuitive, far from foolproof, and does not work for all articles. It's semi-automatic and requires a few manual steps. The first step is manual: all reference-tags need to use one of the cite-templates, like "cite book" or "cite journal".[a] Unfortunately, this affects many references (90 by my count) in the Heidegger article:
affected references
|
---|
|
- You would have to do something like this for all the others. There would be one more manual step later to ensure that the parameters of the cite templates are in order, but that is usually less of a problem. The rest is automatic (if it works). If you want to go through with the long first step, I would help you with the rest. Phlsph7 (talk) 08:00, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- Okay, that's much less automated than I had assumed. I think for me, at least in this case, it would be very little less work just to do it all manually (if I do it at all).
- Thanks so much, though, for offering to help!
- It's genuinely baffling to me how this site doesn't already have (and employ by default) a template for references that would auto-populate a standardized bibliography. But I guess that's neither here nor there.
- Cheers, Patrick J. Welsh (talk) 15:40, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- @PatrickJWelsh: The amount of work depends a lot on the state of the article. In the case of Philosophy, it was not too much work since most references already used the cite-templates. My impression is that the sfn-format is more of a standard for GAs and FAs while most other articles depend on regular ref-tags. Phlsph7 (talk) 16:00, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
Notes
- ^ The template "citation" does not work and also needs to be changed to one of the cite-templates.

TFA
Hi Phlsph7, I am looking at running Logic as the TFA on 5 November. Given that it is a bit on the technical sode, I wondered if you fancied having first stab at a draft blurb? Cheers. Gog the Mild (talk) 21:46, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Gog the Mild: Thanks for letting me know, I would be happy to prepare a first draft. Do you think it might be a better idea to wait for the World Logic Day on 14 January? I don't know if that matters much. Phlsph7 (talk) 07:29, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
- Delaying or not is your call. Some people like to tie their TFAs to a "Day" or anniversary, others are not so bothered. Let me know how you decide. If you go for 14 Jan you will need to list the article at TFAP and in due course nominate it at TFAR. Gog the Mild (talk) 12:11, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Gog the Mild: I guess the date is not that important so 5 November would be fine. I went ahead and wrote a first draft, see Wikipedia:Today's_featured_article/requests/Logic. Phlsph7 (talk) 16:35, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Improving "Motivation"
Hi I saw you want to improve the Motivation article. A while ago I followed a sports psychology class who also extensively discussed the topic of motivation. Things that might be interesting to write about are: Nature vs nurture (Scientists still discuss what is the bigger factor that leads to motivation or a combination of both), examples per type of motivation: for example extrinsic motivation is caused by: money, rewards, fear of punishment, while intrinsic is caused by autonomy, belonging, curiosity etc. Maybe write something about the flow channel by csikszentmihalyi. Can't find the model itself on Wikipedia but it is being taught at schools and important to understand what causes someone to be motivated (Self-efficacy, Autonomy, Level of challenge, Level of skill) if these are just right you get into that "flow channel". Interesting topic! Coldbolt (talk) 14:53, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
- Hello Coldbolt and thanks for the suggestions. Having examples of the different types of motivation is a good idea. One difficulty with articles on very broad topics, and also a problem with the article in its current form, is that one has to be very selective about what to include. As far as I'm aware, Csikszentmihalyi's theories are usually not discussed in detail in overview works on motivation. But maybe a remark can be added in the section on intrinsic motivation. I'll keep an eye on this as I go about the literature review and I'll see if it is justified to include something. Phlsph7 (talk) 07:48, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

GA review of Shrewsbury
Hi, Thanks for your comments when reviewing the article about Shrewsbury. One comment I didn't quite follow was: "avoid American English (travellers)", what word would you suggest in preference? Regards Murgatroyd49 (talk) 15:00, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Murgatroyd49: Sorry, I got mixed up there. You can ignore the comment, the article seems to be consistent in its usage of British English. Phlsph7 (talk) 15:22, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks, I was literally lost for words over that one :-) Working through all your other points at the moment. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 15:26, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- Please let me know if there are other confusing points. I used Grammarly for spellchecking and it showed a few more potential minor issues, like missing commas and hyphens. It might be good to use it or another spellchecker before a GA renomination. Phlsph7 (talk) 15:35, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

You GA review of Electron diffraction
My apologies, but I am certain that at least 90% of what you thought was not sourced was. I added yet more references, and I am now confident that 95-99% is sourced. (Like all good scientists I will never claim 100%.) I admit that the article is quite technical, but that's the nature of the beast. (It is very mild compared to the literature.)

Logic scheduled for TFA
This is to let you know that the above article has been scheduled as today's featured article for 5 November 2023. Please check that the article needs no amendments. Feel free to amend the draft blurb, which can be found at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/November 5, 2023, or to make comments on other matters concerning the scheduling of this article at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/November 2023. I suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks and congratulations on your work. Gog the Mild (talk) 13:23, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
DYK for Philosophy
On 7 October 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Philosophy, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that physics, chemistry, and biology were all part of philosophy before they became separate disciplines? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Philosophy. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Philosophy), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Precious
logic and philosophy
Thank you for quality articles around thinking, such as Logic, Philosophy, Education and Models of communication, for collaboration and quality reviewing, for a model of a modest user page, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!
You are recipient no. 2884 of Precious, a prize of QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:24, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Thanks a lot for the award! Phlsph7 (talk) 14:10, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
November songs my story today - Thank you today for Logic, "about the study of correct reasoning. It is one of the main branches of philosophy."! - You are a model of communication, DYK? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:24, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!

For being bold enough to FAC Communication, itself only the latest in a series of very high-level editing. There is a reason few tackle these. CMD (talk) 13:33, 13 October 2023 (UTC) |
Infinite regress
Can you please explain why you reverted my edit? The referenced article does support the thesis that this is a theoretical physically consistent possibility? Strecosaurus (talk) 22:36, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
- Hello Strecosaurus and thanks for your efforts at improving this article. The main reason why I removed this addition was that it is not supported by the source: the source does not discuss infinite regresses anywhere. Another reason is that the claim it makes is possibly false: not everything that is infinite is an infinite regress.
- As a sidenote: I saw that you added the specific source https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.02338 to several different articles. This could be considered a form of reference spamming, see WP:REFSPAM. If you are personally associated with this source or its author then you need to declare your conflict of interest (see WP:COI). In this case, it would probably be best not to avoid this type of editing. Phlsph7 (talk) 07:19, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
- Okay, thank you, that answers my question. (And I got this article from one of Aron Ra's recent videos discussing whether the Universe can be eternal into the past purely on physics grounds or not, and it was also linked in the video description; as a Wikipedian I added it where it seemed appropriate, seems like an interesting result, feel free to revert if you think otherwise.)
