Mission of the International Organisation for Migration, London

You suggest a merge to International Organization of Migration- what content do you think should be merged? AusLondonder (talk) 00:10, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

I would think into the Structure section but I have just reviewed the single reference at Mission of the International Organisation for Migration, London and find a verification issue. There is a UK branch of the organization but I can't find anything specifically about London. ~Kvng (talk) 13:07, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Random-access memory edit

Hello, I got a notification that you reversed my edit of the RAM page. Why is that? I deleted some duplicate text, which seems like a no-brainer, as well as condensed some references by using reference names to shrink the reference list at the end. You didn't include any reason for doing so, which seems silly given that my edit actually simplifies things and eliminated redundant information.

(see how stupid that looks?)

Appreciate some clarification, like adding notes on why you undid my revision. Thanks. Jonjames1986 (talk) 17:07, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

@Jonjames1986: Strange that I did not include an edit summary with that. Your edit also did not include a summary so there's symmetry at least.

I guess I was moving too fast this morning. I see now what you've done with the computerhistory1966 reference but the diffs are a bit difficult to read for these sorts of changes so I forgive myself.

You also deleted "While it offered higher speeds than magnetic-core memory, bipolar DRAM could not compete with the lower price of the then dominant magnetic-core memory." from the body. I see that same phrase is in the lead. That's not necessarily a problem as the lead is supposed to summarize the body but if we're going to delete it from somewhere it should probably be deleted from the lead. A better solution might be to shorten, not delete, the statement in the lead. ~Kvng (talk) 18:18, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Skaters' articles

Hello, Kvng,

I see that you removed PROD tags from two articles about skating champions. There have been dozens of similar articles on junior champions in skating that have been PROD'd over the last two weeks and I don't see much difference between those that were deleted and the ones you "saved". We have an editor who is literally cleaning house of these articles, most of which were created 10 or 15 years ago where the skaters competed as teenagers (or younger) and then retired. I don't have a good understanding of notability in this area so I've just been trusting their judgment since they obviously have reviewed most of the articles in this category to select these to PROD. I get a little nervous when we are deleting so many articles in one particular category but, not knowing much about the sport, I also can't put in much a defense about individual articles.

But I thought I'd check in because these are unlikely to be the last that are PROD'd. Maybe you have already looked at the deleted ones, I don't know! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 17:24, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

I've trusted Bgsu98 on this up to now. Today, motivated by so many prods, I finally got around to reading WP:NSKATE and deprodded some that appeared to meet the standard. It's possible I've made mistakes because I also know little about skating. I've asked for help at WP Skating. ~Kvng (talk) 18:32, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Medal placement at the junior level or bronze/silver medals at the senior-level national championships explicitly do not meet the requirements of WP:NSKATE. Only one article that you deprodded should have been; as I stated, the ISU biography for Charlotte Clements did not show her gold medals at the British National Championships. All of the others you deprodded have gone straight to AFD. I stand by my work. Bgsu98 (Talk) 19:17, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

@Liz, there's been some additional discussion about this cleanup effort at User_talk:Bgsu98#Are_you_doing_WP:BEFORE_searches? ~Kvng (talk) 17:37, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Deprod

I was wondering where the merge proposal for Electoral history of Joel Anderson you made reference to the other day was? Or was your deprod itself the proposal? Iseult ^Δx parlez moi 00:09, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

@Iseult, I'm suggesting that in a normal deletion discussion, the possibility of doing this merge as an WP:ATD would likely come up. I have not proposed the merge and it's not going to happen unless someone proposes it or just goes ahead and does it WP:BOLDLY ~Kvng (talk) 03:09, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure if I follow. You're proposing that hypothetically, a merge is possible as a result of a deletion discussion; also, you're not willing to do said merge and have not proposed it either; this is why you declined my PROD? Iseult ^Δx parlez moi 21:37, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Question from Doolanshole (18:21, 8 May 2024)

Hello. Thanks for being a Wikipedia mentor. I am brand new to suggesting, editing, and improving Wiki articles. My main focus is on an article about a nonprofit I work for. I want to be transparent and helpful. I don't know where to begin. --Doolanshole (talk) 18:21, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

@Doolanshole it would be best to start by working on articles where you don't have a conflict of interest (COI). If you are determined to work on the article about your employer, please carefully read WP:COI first. Normally paid editors (your salary from the nonprofit makes you a paid editor even if they've not specifically assigned you the task of working on this article) do not directly edit articles where they have a COI and instead request help from other editors to review and implement requested changes. ~Kvng (talk) 03:06, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

This is very helpful and makes sense. I will carefully read the information about COI. I will request help from other editors regarding articles where I have a COI. I'm very thankful for the mentorship you are providing. 63.249.79.9 (talk) 21:21, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Question from Lawrence DiMatteo (19:52, 17 May 2024)

Hi. I am a bit desperate. I use Wikipedia frequently. I do not edit it at all. I speak English, and want to receive Wikedpedia in English. However, recently I started being automatically defaulted to another language. I would like to know -- in simple stieps, because I am not great with computers -- how to get back to having English as my default language.. Thank you. --Lawrence DiMatteo (talk) 19:52, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Composite video

Hello, just wondering why did you nuke modern updated info and real world context info form the page? Harry munday (talk) 15:45, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

@Harry munday, I assume your referring to this edit. There are a lot of different changes there. What specifically do you consider modern update info and real world context? ~Kvng (talk) 16:13, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Yes thats the one, well firstly SDI is the commerical sucessor that was industry wide adopted as it replaced the end point hardware for physical coax runs in studios/high end CCTV and distrobution systems all camaras ditched CVBS in the 2000s to 2010s and output SDI now ware you would have had that on a BNC.

The image asset showing a 4fsc signal frame and with and without colour carrier decoded is a real world context example people wont visually see outside of well broadcast CRTs with H/V shift.

Hard sampling number values were provided (910x525 NTSC & 1135x625 PAL) also little things like "SMPTE 1" Type-C" thats the full production and lookup name of the format as there was A/B/C versions.

There is a hard diffrance between live genrated and composite images and decoded from a modulated source from a VCR for example.

I'll add my edits bback with more citaitions if need be, as this is well known hardware level info on datasheets, its annoying when I see real-world example data being stripped out, there is not a page on 4fsc so context has been lost to the information within wikipedia.

Alternatives to deletion

Thank you for taking note of the articles I had PRODed during my review of Category:Unassessed articles and pointing out the obvious AtDs I could have taken. I'll be more careful in the future and take note when such actions can be taken to preserve edit histories. Consciousness industry was just merged to the author's page.
