I noticed that you recently used IMDB as a source for information in a biography article.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi, Mcc1789. I just thought I'd give you a heads up on why I reverted this change on Spanish Brazilians. Whether you or I like it or not, it was templated for mdy in 2013 (which can be seen at the top of the article if you look at the edit view for the entire article). The spelling for 'recognised' means that, per MOS:ENGVAR, it sits in template:EngvarB which has become the preference for articles dealing with subject matter not related to any national variety of English. Most articles of this nature are developed by LOTE (Languages Other Than English) editors whose English spelling is entirely dependent on who taught them/what system they were taught under. EngvarB allows for more breathing room for LOTE editors while, for copy editors, it means only having to concern ourselves with consistency in maintaining 'our', 're' conventions. I'm fine with your changing back the 'recognise' to 'recognize' if you wish, but thought you might not be aware of the other stylistic guidelines. Wishing you a Happy New Year! --Iryna Harpy (talk) 02:41, 1 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Ah, scratch the EngvarB. After double-checking the article and it's been written using American English, so I'll be templating it as such (per WP:RETAIN). --Iryna Harpy (talk) 02:46, 1 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. In a recent edit to the page Hillsong Church, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:13, 3 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I see you've made some (apparently very tiny) changes to Sociobiology, but without explaining what you are intending by these near-invisible edits. Perhaps you could group some of these, and maybe add a brief comment such as "repair wikilink" or "punctuation". Otherwise the rest of us waste time wondering if it's vandalism. Many thanks, Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:02, 23 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, it was just punctuation. I'm not sure why that comes off as vandalism. Mcc1789 (talk) 16:12, 23 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. My point is not that it was vandalism, just that unexplained edits have to be individually investigated in case they are. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:06, 23 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Okay. I'll be sure to post a reason in the future.Mcc1789 (talk) 18:34, 23 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

I notice that in a few articles recently, you have changed wording such as "is a New Zealand actress" to "is a New Zealander actress". This is incorrect. "New Zealander" is the correct demonym for a person from New Zealand, but a demonym is a noun, and nouns shouldn't be combined in this way. The term before "actress" is modifying it, so it is an adjective. In many cases, the adjective for a person from a country is the same as the demonym, e.g. Australian or American, but in the case of New Zealand the adjective differs, and "New Zealand" should be used to qualify a noun.-gadfium 21:13, 24 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

English is inconsistent. We have to live with that, or move to a Wikipedia with a more consistent language. Is any natural language fully consistent, though?-gadfium 21:35, 24 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thinking about it, I suspect the -er in New Zealander makes it always a noun. wikt:-er seems to list only nouns. In the "Etymology 2" section on that Wiktionary article you can see other examples of -er forming demonyms. Adjectives never end in -er, I suspect.-gadfium 21:56, 24 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

-er does get used in comparatives, so "is a taller actress" is grammatical. Not relevant to this discussion, but undermines my last comment.-gadfium 22:01, 24 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Sure, but I've never heard of such a rule until now. It certainly explains why every page with a celebrity from New Zealand is marked that way though. The entire thing strikes me as bizarre though. Is there any other nationality that gets this? Regarding it being a noun, I'd think that is always the case for nationalities, as with proper names.-Mcc1789 (talk) 22:09, 24 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Wiktionary lists New Yorker, Londoner, Dubliner and New Englander as examples. Highlander might also be relevant.-gadfium 22:21, 24 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Huh. Well, somehow that got past me all this time. I guess it's not common enough to come up much. Could you give me a link to where this rule gets laid out, for my curiosity?-Mcc1789 (talk) 23:12, 24 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

A noun which modifies another noun is a Noun adjunct (e.g. "chicken soup", but I'm not an English teacher and I don't know when it is or isn't appropriate to do this, except when it feels wrong. I'll raise a question on the Language reference desk and post a link to it here.-gadfium 00:30, 25 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

All right, thanks.-Mcc1789 (talk) 00:45, 25 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi there. Can you please familiarise yourself with WP:CAT/R and WP:BLPCAT. In particular, Categories regarding religious beliefs (or lack of such) or sexual orientation should not be used unless the subject has publicly self-identified with the belief (or lack of such) or orientation in question, and the subject's beliefs or sexual orientation are relevant to their public life or notability, according to reliable published sources. (My emphasis added). In other words, it's not enough for someone to be gay or to be Catholic to add them to a Category:Gay people or Category:Roman Catholics category; their notability should derive in some way from their association with that sexuality or religion.
