Thanks for the reverts! The editor in Brazil who keeps changing IPs and claiming people have died in BLPs is annoying, I appreciate you cleaning up their edits today. Schazjmd (talk) 19:44, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Okay, but credits on Deaths in 2024 must have an own English Wikipedia article. Renewal6 (talk) 00:39, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
VENCA isn't Eleven's biological father. Her biological father is mentioned in a previous book, and is named as "Andrew Rich" (even if Andrew Rich isn't canon, VECNA isn't her father at all, whatsoever and no where in the show did they ever allude to this. 2A00:23C6:4B42:F301:F80D:2E37:D473:1013 (talk) 21:08, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I am wondering if that deceased woman has extensive coverage; https://www.bfmtv.com/amp/tech/tiktok/michelle-hilpert-la-grand-mere-star-de-tiktok-est-morte-a-73-ans_AN-202407090265.html FerasWebsite (talk) 23:31, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think so, I couldn't find any coverage besides her death. Renewal6 (talk) 00:09, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies - I accidentally walked over your final warning at User talk:45.233.107.5. I had already blocked the account. Sam Kuru (talk) 23:26, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- No problem, thanks for the block. Renewal6 (talk) 23:40, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why are you doing this? This is ridiculous. German is neither an official nor a widely spoken language in the city. We do not add the names of cities in foreign languages, just because other countries once ruled over them, just as with Wrocław, Poznań, Kraków or Prague there are no German names added in this way, with Warsaw or Vilnius there are no Russian ones, with Bratislava there is no Hungarian one, with Cologne there is no French or Latin Roman one, etc. Marcin 303 (talk) 08:40, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Unlike Warsaw or Kraków, Szczecin had been historically German-speaking, so I think that the infobox should reflect that. We also cite the French names for Saarbrücken and Mainz, although it's not an official language there, and although the relevance is more unclear in those cases. Renewal6 (talk) 12:25, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- German names are added in infoboxes for Polish localities, only if German is a recognized minority language. Otherwise, by your logic, German names should be added for locations in half of Poland given the former German rule. Various cities had various majorities at different times, such as Vilnius or Lviv Polish, Szczecin German, Tbilisi Armenian, etc., and it's a slippery slope if we were to consistently put all the names this way, especially given the threats of nationalisms whose effects can be seen, for example, in Ukraine today. Plus the name in the infobox was only added recently to the article. Previously without the German name, it was kept in line with other locations in Poland and Central Europe. Also, other historical names are already mentioned in the article. Marcin 303 (talk) 14:38, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Would you mind replying? Marcin 303 (talk) 07:36, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Historical relevance is not determined solely by the status as an official language. For example, France doesn't recognize any particular minority languages, which doesn't mean that they are not relevant for the context. As I have already pointed out, the use of non-official names is perfectly accepted for German places. Due to the fact that Germany is generally considered to be a part of Central Europe, you can't claim that the removal would be in line with other Central European locations. Regarding the slippery slope argument: This city had already been a part of Prussia before the partitions of Poland. Secondly, it is located close to the modern Polish-German border (In fact, it's still the closest major city for the border region of the German part of Pomerania). Under those two circumstances, the inclusion should be uncontroversial, and I'm not even mentioning the context of the expulsion. I didn't notice that it was a recent addition, but that doesn't indicate that it's not in line with our Manual of style. Removing historically relevant German/Polish names for political reasons ("given the threats of nationalisms") would be a violation of WP:NOTCENSORED. On that basis, one might as well construe the removal of foreign names as nationalistic. Renewal6 (talk) 12:17, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Please, stop it. Gdańsk, Wrocław and even Kaliningrad don't have added German names, Lviv and Brest don't have added Polish names, etc. Why do you insist on making one odd exception and keeping this weird addition? We don't add names in infoboxes because of "historical relevance", as it is a vague notion and would clutter the infoboxes with historical names with no current relevance. The German and Swedish names are already added at the start of the article in brackets, and that should be enough. Hence, the suggestion about censorship is invalid.

- In regards to France, it's reasonable to, for instance, add Occitan names for Occitan-speaking places, etc, just like Sorbian names are added for Sorbian-speaking places in Germany. Szczecin is not a German-speaking city. In line with your logic, would you propose to add German names for hundreds of localities in Poland, add Polish names for hundreds of localities in Belarus and Ukraine, or even Slavic (Polish/Polabian/Sorbian) names for hundreds of localities in eastern Germany, as they were initially mostly inhabited by Slavs before the German territorial expansion and colonization. I think it would only cause unnecessary disputes and edit wars. Marcin 303 (talk) 14:12, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Let's not exaggerate this: Dresden is neither a Sorbian-speaking city, nor is it a part of the recognized Sorbian settlement area. According to your logic, the Upper Sorbian name should be removed from the infobox. Renewal6 (talk) 02:43, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, could you give a linguistic and spelling review to this article Kfir Tsafrir that looks in incomprehensible English? Please. Alon9393 (talk) 14:56, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
