Tampa, Florida

Hey there!

Why did you revert my edit on Tampa, Florida? Did you see any other examples where a city is listed as a subdivision of itself? Also, the link I deleted is completely wrong - Tampa - It points to the county but it is named after the city. Cheers IonutBizau (talk) 12:22, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

@IonutBizau: Perhaps you're confused by the wording used in the code of the infobox? If you look right under the map in the infobox for Tampa, Florida, you'll see that it breaks down the country, state, county, and then the city, to locate it for people who might be reading the article anywhere in the world and may have no idea where Tampa is. Those different levels are listed as "subdivisions" in the infobox coding. It doesn't mean "subdivision", as in an area / neighborhood inside of a town. Zeng8r (talk) 22:30, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

You're right, the name of the parameter might be confusing, but It's not necessary the that which confuses me, it's more the experience from working with Wikipedia. Basically I am not aware of many other cases where the city *itself* is listed in that context in the infobox. Sure, the country, state, province, county, etc... always appear there - basically entities at a higher level in the subdivision tree, but never the city itself - the one the article is referring to. It might be the case, I just never saw that done before. Now, assuming you do want to leave the city there, it's fine I guess (just weird for me, but whatever), but then there is a 2nd issue, as I mentioned, the link itself is just *wrong*. It's named "Tampa" but points to "Hillsborough County, Florida". So you should make it point to "Tampa" instead (or just remove the link completely and keep just the city name - it's a bit silly for a page to link to itself).

Just to double check I am not going crazy, I double checked other cities in Florida - Orlando, Miami, Jacksonville, etc ... None are listing the city itself in that context. But again, if you do insist on having the city there for some reason, please just remove the wrong link. IonutBizau (talk) 08:20, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Article name policy

Hi Zeng8r

I think we need to discuss your comment Per Wikipedia policy, the article name will be changed when the Sun Dome is officially rechristened on July 1. [1] That's not my reading of the policy at all. Did you perhaps mean that it should not be changed until then at the earliest? That would make more sense, but still isn't the policy. Andrewa (talk) 15:56, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

I don't think we have anything to discuss. The article was clearly moved too early so I put it back. I'm not going to move it myself on or after July 1, but I'm also not going to get involved if somebody else wants to move it. Do what you will... Zeng8r (talk) 22:49, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

Revert on Tampa Riverwalk

Hello! I should have put a description for my edit but the reason for the category removal is because Category:Parks in Tampa, Florida contains Category:Tourist attractions in Tampa, Florida. I might have been thinking similar to how Category:Tourist_attractions_in_Florida is done. – TheGridExe (talk) 12:44, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Oh, ok, thanks for the explanation. Don't know if I'd categorize all parks as "tourist attractions", but I guess if they're notable enough to have an article, you could probably stretch the definition of an "attraction" enough to make it work. Zeng8r (talk) 15:51, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Revert on The Big Guava

Good morning,

Can you please explain why you reverted the edit made to The Big Guava page? I would consider a gym with the name CrossFit Big Guava to be a related event to the history of Tampa. The history and nickname is why we chose our gym name.

Thank you. Team CFBG

Wikipedia does not allow even the appearance of advertising or promotion in articles. The business name is a nice one, imo, but we certainly can't have a plug and a link for it added to the article about Tampa's nickname, just like there isn't a shoutout to every business that uses the name "Gasparilla" in the article about that event. It's even more problematic when someone (or a group of someones) from the business are inserting the mentions. Please refer to the following link for details on the policy: WP:NOTADVERTISING. Zeng8r (talk) 16:38, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Completely understand, thank you for clarifying! Can we simply have a mention of the gym without any advertising? Just something to the effect of "CrossFit Big Guava is a gym operating in Seminole Heights, taking it's name from the city's nickname."

Your recent editing history at Cuban sandwich shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. MrClog (talk) 13:02, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, this warning does not apply. I've attempted to start discussions on the relevant talk page and on the other user's talk page without resolving the issue, as he has not engaged in productive discussion on the article talk page and deletes discussions on his own. I also submitted a request for a third party to take a look, as we seem to be the only users that are paying attention to the article at the moment. And I haven't simply reverted; I've used the new sources as they apply while removing his POV assertion that is not supported by those sources. I also trust that the user who initiated this dispute again (he's done this at least three times over the past decade-plus) has been warned about his non-collaborative behavior, which got him blocked in an unrelated dispute last month.

LBJ page

Hello- I saw that you made some edits and wording changes on the LBJ page in April of this year, and I wanted to invite you (if you are at all interested) to look at the 1948 election section of LBJ's page and the 1948 United States Senate election in Texas page. There have been some great editors working the 1948 Senate election page, but I would like to get a dispassionate appraisal of what has been written so far, including correction of any grammar or writing problems you may see as an educator. As an amateur historian, where do the facts need more flushing out? Is the article written in an appropriate manner, respectful of all persons involved? It's a fascinating historical episode that I believe Wikipedia needs a high-quality article on. If you're not interested, that's okay too. Thanks for your time.

Vandalism

This [[2]] is not vandalism. It is however block evasion and is a reason you can revert any addition by the blocked user. Given the propensity of Averette to edit war make sure you label the edit summary accurately because it will allow you to move past 3rr. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 19:11, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
