Happy editing! Peaceray (talk) 01:17, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Peter Bellinger, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page New York. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 07:55, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Overlinking

Hello there

Please stop linking common words, names of well known countries and cities etc. Links should only be used to help readers understand an article. Just because there is a separate article relating to a word is not sufficient reason to link it. Please see policy on linking: MOS:OVERLINK

Deletion discussion about Pete Glidewell

Hello RedactedHumanoid, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Pete Glidewell, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pete Glidewell.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Vanderwaalforces}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Vanderwaalforces (talk) 23:32, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

@Vanderwaalforces: I see. Can you please elaborate on why it you do not think that it may be suitable for inclusion in wikipedia in its current form, and furthermore, what can I do to try to make said article suitable for inclusion?
RedactedHumanoid (talk) 23:35, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Hi there. I would just be repeating what I already said at the AfD page. A politician is not automatically notable because they contested in an election (which the lost). They have to win the seat, and the seat has to be a notable one (either on a federal or state level) before they can be considered notable by all means. Glidewell did win the election he contested in, and he also does not meet the general notability guidelines, which makes him non-notable. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 23:41, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Ah, I didn't see the link to the AfD page in your original comment. Well, if the page doesn't meet the general nobility guidelines, I have no objection to the deletion of the article. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 23:46, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Yeah, I guessed correctly that you didn't see the link above :) Vanderwaalforces (talk) 23:50, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Just by the way, in case you are interested in politicians generally, you might want to take a look at the complete guideline on creating an article for a politician. You might also find this list/guide useful for state-level politicians. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 23:52, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for that. Do i need to follow those guidelines for creating a page about any politician, whether they are, say, a president, or a just a lowly mayor? I ask since I am currently working on a page about the mayor of Poulsbo. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 23:55, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
Yeah, you know, WP:NPOL for example is a specific notability guideline (obviously because it applies to only politicians), so any article on a politician would first be judged in line with these guidelines, and if they do not pass, would now be judged in line with another specific notability guideline depending on the subject in question. Let's say a subject is a politician, academic and published author, the subject would first be judged based on WP:NPOL (for politicians), WP:NACADEMIC for anyone in an academic field, and WP:NAUTHOR for authors. If they fails to pass any of these SNGs, the would now be judged generally, say based on WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO.
Articles on mayors are mostly nominated for deletion when the city/town in question does not have much population to make their mayors to be presumptively notable, see WP:POLOUTCOMES for more details, especially the Mayor part. Poulsbo has small population compared to, say Manchester, which is way bigger (also population-wise) and yet the mayors of Manchester are not automatically notable for just being mayors. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 00:10, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Becky Erickson

Notice

The article Becky Erickson has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Does not meet WP:NPOL as a local politician who has not been elected to a higher office and lacks significant coverage.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Kamala Harris

The article says she's the first African American and the first South Asian American in some office. Which is it? Her parents seem to make it the latter. 96.234.119.40 (talk) 03:33, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Both, as her mother was from India, and her father is from Jamaica but is of African descent. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 03:45, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

U.S. versus United States (versus US)

In an edit to Michael Giacchino, I noticed that you changed U.S. to United States because some people might not know that "U.S." stands for United States. I think that you may get some resistance or reversions on changing this commonly used abbreviation, particularly in infoboxes where space is at a premium.

The relevant guidelines governing these usages are at MOS:Abbreviations#Countries and multinational unions and MOS:US. Peaceray (talk) 16:01, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Thank you for informing me. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 16:03, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
One question though, can you explain to me why space in infoboxes is premium? Thanks. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 20:39, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Gobryas (son of Darius I) moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Gobryas (son of Darius I). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:15, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Alright, understood. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 16:19, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
@Hey man im josh can you give me a rough estimate as to how many sources I will need before it is ready for publication? RedactedHumanoid (talk) 22:15, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
There's no exact number, but typically most people say 3 reliable sources at least that show significant coverage of the subject. Hey man im josh (talk) 23:06, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
Ok. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 23:07, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
@Hey man im josh Alright, I now have three sources about the subject (plus another one about a related thing), is that sufficient enough for me re-publish it? RedactedHumanoid (talk) 04:22, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
@RedactedHumanoid: Geni is considered an unreliable source because it's user generated content, and, frankly in my experience using it, often wrong and based on guess work. Geni and other user generated content sites should not be used as references. The first source is good and contributes towards notability though. Second probably does as well, but this isn't my particular area of expertise. Hey man im josh (talk) 10:37, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
Ok, I think I am going to publish the draft now. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 18:03, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Illustrative example

Real quick, regarding your edit to Diocletian—when a GA or FA is missing a basic piece of information—e.g. the precise date of birth in a biography—there's probably a good reason for that, and you should double- or triple-check to make sure you're not introducing errors. Remsense ‥ 论 09:55, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

Actually, the date of birth is already stated in the infobox, so I wasn't introducing an error. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 17:41, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

Create a page for Facebook on Cherokee Wiki

@RedactedHumanoid Hi RedactedHumanoid! I have a request. I have seen that you edit the Cherokee Wiki. I want to ask you can you create a page for Facebook: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook on Cherokee Wiki and use the name how is written in Cherokee. Please create it and add it to its corresponding Wikidata page. Thanks RavaBasa (talk) 07:47, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

I will do my best, but Cherokee is a language that only a couple thousand people still speak, so my capability to create an article about Facebook may be a bit limited. Will do my best though. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 08:01, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
Sorry about this, but the Cherokee translator that I have typically relied on no longer seems to be working. I think, at least for the time being, this is an idea that I'll have to shelve, but I will consider creating one in the future if I find more resources to help me in doing so. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 08:35, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
@RedactedHumanoid However, try to find a native Cherokee speaker which edits the Cherokee Wiki and ask him to create this article for Facebook on this Wiki. As I want to be created as soon as possible. Or find a way to create it, by another translator or a person which can translate it for you. Thanks 188.172.111.113 (talk) 08:33, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Dec 2024 from Remsense

I'm sorry you're having a bad time. You make a lot of good edits. If I saw one I disagreed with, I undid it, sometimes being wrong myself or with my intent communicated imperfectly, but like I did with anyone else on here. At no point have I assumed bad faith in your edits—really, I feel I have to make it clear that I don't think I've given you any reason to believe I take your edits in bad faith, either. I don't think it would be productive for me to act as if I was in the wrong for having the editorial instincts I do. Undoing changes I disagree with isn't bad faith; if anything, I generally trusted you to understand my intent even if you disagreed. I regret that I wasn't quite able to make you at ease with my intentions.

That said, I do understand it's not exactly fun to be reverted, but I didn't see anything particularly fraught in it either. When one makes many technical or particularized edits, not all of them are going to be uncontroversial, I thought I was engaging with that dynamic in a healthy way with mutual understanding, since all we both want is to make the encyclopedia better.

I know you're frustrated and given that I'm not sure what else would be helpful to say but the truth here. The truth is, I hope you feel you can return at some point, since this really does seem like a misunderstanding it would be worth sorting out and we'll miss you. I did think posting this was worth a shot, so if you do quietly delete it as promised, I hope it comes across that I at least tried to reach out in good faith. Remsense ‥ 论 07:16, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Well, I appreciate the message. As usual, I think most of the stuff was just me saying things in the moment (thats what having a short temper and being very sensitive gets me). In the future I'll keep in mind that we both have the encyclopædia's best interests in mind, and that you reverting my edits isn't something I should take personally.

Podcast episode lists?

I see you added back in the episode list for the page on RHLSTP. Shouldn't this be deleted to comply with User:Soetermans decision on the corresponding page for the Off Menu podcast that podcast episode lists are ephemera/trivia? 71.63.182.32 (talk) 00:34, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

I have zero idea what you are talking about. What decision are you referring to? RedactedHumanoid (talk) 00:36, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
See long discussion here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Off_Menu_with_Ed_Gamble_and_James_Acaster 71.63.182.32 (talk) 00:37, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
To be fair, the part of the article in question is not an episode guide, as is discussed about in the discussion you have pointed to, merely a list of articles. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 00:40, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
Sorry, list of episodes. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 00:40, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
Is that substantially different between the two articles?
Basically I'm just wondering why there is an asymmetric standard for podcast episode recording being applied across wiki, especially given how adjacent the two articles in question are. 71.63.182.32 (talk) 00:42, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
Oh, I see. I've looked over the two articles briefly, and I'd say that given they are both about podcasts, I think it would be plausible to remove the list of podcast episodes or whatever it is from the article about RHLSTP. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 00:46, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Kiuoro

Hi there, and thank you for your help with NPP! I noticed that you recently marked Kiuoro as reviewed without adding any maintenance tags. However, at the time of review, it was sourced solely by primary sources, meaning it did not clearly meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines.

Reviewing new pages is definitely a learned skill, and we all make mistakes! As you're honing your skills, I recommend keeping the NPP Flowchart close. I'm pretty sure I followed the flowchart religiously for months before feeling more confident in my ability to review. Additionally, if you don't do so already, I recommend looking through WP:NPPSORT, where you'll find a list of new articles sorted by topic. I find this helpful for a) focusing on article types I'm more familiar with and b) getting more comfortable with different subject notability guidelines, including which sources are frequently used, as well as those that are less acceptable (see also WP:RSP). For the latter, you may also find it useful to install User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/CiteHighlighter.js.

All in all, welcome! We're happy to have you! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. You can also join the NPP Discord. :) Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 19:42, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Alright, thanks for letting me know. I'll look over the NPP flowchart and will check out NPPSORT. I'll be a bit more careful in the future about making sure the sources are reliable/aren't entirely made up of primary sources. Have a nice day. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 19:50, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Revised speedy deletion: Chiqui Chiqui

Hello there, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I wanted to let you know that I have declined your G1 speedy deletion nomination of Chiqui Chiqui because the article does not meet the G1 speedy deletion criteria. G1 only "applies to pages consisting entirely of incoherent text or gibberish with no meaningful content or history".

Alright, thank you. I will read over WP:NGEO to get better acquainted with, well, WP:NGEO. Can you tell me how long have I been granted NPR rights for? I don't think you specified. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 20:17, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
It's now indefinite (congrats). The permission is however removed after extended periods of inactivity as a security precaution, but can typically be re-conferred without issue in those cases once you're back. Regarding NGEO, the specific issue with the series of articles I pointed out is that they're about neighborhoods, not stand-alone places like a village or city that has distinct legal recognition; if they meet GNG they should get an article, but if they don't there's likely a better page to merge that information to. signed, Rosguill talk 20:42, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
Thank you. So articles about neighborhoods/districts don't meet WP:NGEO, but articles about things like villages and other such settlements do meet NGEO? RedactedHumanoid (talk) 20:44, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
Yep, although villages/settlements without legal recognition (a nebulous concept itself) are a point of some disagreement and interpretation (although they're also relatively rare). There's also historically been issues with people misinterpreting census documents in other languages and labeling things as villages when they were in fact post offices, intersections, etc. (off the top of my head this was particularly an issue for Iran and Russia, which would list the more-or-less random census collection dropoff sites in large, sparse rural regions in a way that made people confuse them for populated places) signed, Rosguill talk 21:23, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
Alright. Thanks again for the indefinite NPR rights, have a nice day. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 21:25, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

I'm on my phone so can't do my normal looking into things. I think you're correct and have requested a Glock! CUPIDICAE❤️ 20:08, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Create a page for Facebook on Cherokee Wiki

@RedactedHumanoid Hi RedactedHumanoid! I am from China and I have seen that you have edited the Cherokee Wiki. I want to ask you can you create a page for Facebook on Cherokee Wiki with short content with this title: ᎤᎧᏛᎪᏪᎵ and use this logo in Cherokee, which you can get from my Dropbox account in this link: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xm1q5vlmvz6t3erva3n5i/Facebook_CHR.png?rlkey=ebqn5q29pj9uok2lnokkamygh&st=o63hl14r&dl=0 and upload it to Wikipedia. Like the Facebook article in Navajo Wikipedia: https://nv.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naaltsoos_biniiʼ has its own Facebook logo: https://nv.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eʼelyaaígíí:Facebook-nv.svg with the words in Navajo. I would thank you so much if you will create the article for Facebook in Cherokee Wiki and use the logo I mentioned.

Thanks MongWedong (talk) 07:29, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi. First of all, why exactly do you want me to create an article about Facebook on Cherokee Wikipedia? I have no objection to it I just wanna know. Secondly, is the image in question free to use? RedactedHumanoid (talk) 17:11, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
One other thing, are you by any chance @RavaBasa, another user who made the same request to me a few months ago back in December 2024? RedactedHumanoid (talk) 17:16, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
@RedactedHumanoid No, I don't know that user and I am not aware if he has made a similar request to you. I am making this request since I like Facebook as a social network and I have seen that you have edited pages on Cherokee Wiki. If you want, create it and use the logo I created myself by Facebook words in Cherokee. Thanks MongWedong (talk) 17:19, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
Alright. I'll do my best. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 17:21, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
@RedactedHumanoid Thank you so much my friend! If you will create it, use the title: ᎤᎧᏛᎪᏪᎵ and the logo: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xm1q5vlmvz6t3erva3n5i/Facebook_CHR.png?rlkey=ebqn5q29pj9uok2lnokkamygh&st=o63hl14r&dl=0
Thanks MongWedong (talk) 17:32, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
@RedactedHumanoid Hi RedactedHumanoid! Please can you create the page for Facebook on Cherokee Wiki today? Thanks MongWedong (talk) 12:56, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
The Cherokee translator that I used to use seems to have been taken down, I can't write the article in English because obviously, and writing an article with just a couple words won't work. 😐 RedactedHumanoid (talk) 19:49, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
@RedactedHumanoid The article can be written with a few words. In addition, you can find another translator which translates accurately in Cherokee and you can create the article with longer words, if you want. Please create just this article for Facebook in Cherokee language. Nothing else! MongWedong (talk) 20:26, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
Alright, I'll get to it. I am curious though why you are so insistent about having an article about Facebook on Cherokee Wikipedia. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 21:35, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
@RedactedHumanoid Ok. Thank you so much for accepting to create the article for Facebook on Cherokee Wiki. I just want to be an article for Facebook on this Wiki, like it is on Navajo Wiki. Thanks again. MongWedong (talk) 05:19, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
@RedactedHumanoid When you will create the article for Facebook in Cherokee Wiki, use this title: ᎤᎧᏛᎪᏪᎵ and this logo: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xm1q5vlmvz6t3erva3n5i/Facebook_CHR.png?rlkey=ebqn5q29pj9uok2lnokkamygh&st=o63hl14r&dl=0 created by me. Like the article for Facebook on Navajo Wiki: https://nv.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naaltsoos_binii%CA%BC has its own logo how it's written "Facebook" in Navajo: https://nv.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/E%CA%BCelyaa%C3%ADg%C3%AD%C3%AD:Facebook-nv.svg
Thanks MongWedong (talk) 07:14, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
Respectfully, the more you nag me the less likely it is/longer it will take for me to finish the article. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 07:18, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

Frankly I'd say.. WP:Quack?
@EPIC, you blocked m:Special:CentralAuth/RavaBasa as "Long-term abuse: LWCU". I don't know what that is, but MongWedong also bugged me on my talk page. They are also bugging people elsewhere: — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 16:27, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
So thats what visually happens when talk page conversations get too long. Interesting. There's a little line that brings them back to the left side of the page. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 18:40, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
That's actually something my reply tool does when a certain level of indentation has been reached. It's a templateless implementation of the functionality provided by the more popular {{Outdent}} template which people typically insert manually when they feel a discussion is too indented.
Side note: the article requester's account has been globally locked. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 21:51, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
Ah, I see. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 22:01, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
@Alexis Jazz If something like this happens again should I just request a glock? RedactedHumanoid (talk) 03:29, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
Generally yes. If you have doubts, ask an admin to have a look at the situation. In this particular case, the user was WP:NOTHERE even if they hadn't been an LTA.
I'm sorry I didn't request the lock myself through the designated channels. Thanks Praxidicae for picking up where I slacked off. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 14:53, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
Alrighty. Thanks. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 18:09, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

fix help

please help me out to fix these error Happynautiyal (talk) 19:18, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

What errors? RedactedHumanoid (talk) 19:19, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
Oh do you mean the problems listed on the article Mercury Ai? RedactedHumanoid (talk) 19:20, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
yes! Happynautiyal (talk) 19:21, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
Alright. For the first issue, you need to cite secondary sources (and sometimes tertiary sources for larger articles) to back up the primary sources. Secondary sources are usually less connected (and thus at less of a risk of being biased) to the subject in question, so try to find some. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 19:24, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
do you use some kind of discord for my help. there we can talk about it and you can guide me Happynautiyal (talk) 19:27, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
if you had add me "helldeadshot" Happynautiyal (talk) 19:27, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

Brandenberger–Vafa mechanism

Hello! I'm a bit confused about your template of "no sources". Brandenberger–Vafa mechanism currently has five or do you mean inline citations? I could add them, but don't really think it's necessary given the short length. Everything I wrote can be directly found in the original paper and summed up in all others. I also don't consider it useful to go through them page by page for each sentence. So what do you mean in particular? Thanks for your help! Samuel Adrian Antz (talk) 23:08, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

One source in the References section, zero inline citations, therefore the usage of the Unreferenced template is warranted here. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 23:10, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
Yes, but I asked why literature doesn't count as a source? It is quite common in shorter articles about mathematics and physics to reference its content with literature, for example Donaldson theory, Kronheimer–Mrowka basic class or Witten conjecture. (But I'm indeed not a fan when this happens with longer articles like Floer homology, which has one reference and lists around thirty books.)
And as said, I also don't think the improvement you want is actual improvement. I can add inline citation for every single sentence without a problem, but I don't consider a list of references going "Brandenberger & Vafa, page 396", "Brandenberger & Vafa, page 397" and "Brandenberger & Vafa, page 398" to be useful. So again, is that what you want? Samuel Adrian Antz (talk) 23:29, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
Just use the citation tool to cite the source. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 23:34, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
I am citing the source, even five of them. In which form they are presented in the article is irrelevant. Samuel Adrian Antz (talk) 23:40, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
I replaced the template with a more appropriate one, happy? RedactedHumanoid (talk) 00:05, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
I've now added the inline citations I mentioned and removed your template.
Two final notes: It seems to me, because of your passive-aggressive "happy?", that you take my comments as personal critique. If that's the case, please don't. As said in my first comment, I'm thankful for the work you do here. Your template also isn't personal critique on me, is it? It is simply an issue we both try to solve, together. Also, it would be helpful for you to not just answer with generic one-liners. I know why you think the template is warranted, and I know how to use the citation tool. I contacted you for a more detailed insight into what you think is the problem.
Hope to meet you again and keep up that good work! Samuel Adrian Antz (talk) 00:58, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
Apologies for the passive aggressive "happy", not in a great mood right now. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 01:02, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
No problem. And now that I see the article, I think it's indeed better that way. Samuel Adrian Antz (talk) 01:11, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I don't understand the past tense in the Hegseth article

I think we should clearly state that he is the current Secretary of Defense. As an analogy, does an older encyclopedia from the 1980s say Elizabeth "was" the Queen of England? I hope not! FriendlyRiverOtter (talk) 19:40, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

Peter Brian Hegseth (born June 6, 1980) is an American former Army National Guard officer, television presenter, and author who has served as the 29th United States secretary of defense since 2025. It states that he is currently serving as the SecDef, furthermore it lines up with how we do it on other articles. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 19:55, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
For example, with the article about Pam Bondi, the current AG of the US, says: Pamela Jo Bondi (born November 17, 1965) is an American attorney, lobbyist, and politician who has served as the 87th United States attorney general since 2025. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 19:57, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

It's workable. The phrase "has served” is a little bit labored, but is present tense once you look at it. I think it slows reading and is not as clear as " ... is the current ... "

It's all good. I've got a lot of projects and limited time as I'm sure you do as well. Cheers. FriendlyRiverOtter (talk) 20:06, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

I see your point, but it does indeed work. Have a good one as well. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 20:07, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
