Disambiguation link notification for November 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of museums in Saint Petersburg, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Smolny (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

Ratnaya Palata (Warriors Hall) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Ratnaya Palata (Warriors Hall), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 10:25, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Greg, There is an empty section named box and some content without references. please add references for all unsourced content so I can accept the draft. Regards, --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 18:32, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I continued working on the article and temporarily inserted that division to make it easier to use Select All smartphone option to select and cut the infobox code to the newly demarcated lead section and then deleted the temporary division as in the Waiting for approval section it was said I could in the meantime continue editing the article. My smartphone is old and sometimes hangs then unfreezes while typing, making a mess of letters. I am from Saint Petersburg and know the website of the museum complex is written by its scholars and is reliable scientifically - so I used it. I am not new to editing Wikipedia myself, as you may have seen, and bilingual, using the available sources in Russian for creating the articles missing in English wiki or incomplete, but unchallenged on Russian Wikipedia which is one of the largest. This museum rather new, World War I itself unlike Western Europe having been unappreciated in my Soviet childhood and adolescence by the authorities, and I first heard the museum on the local branch of the national Radio Russia, but I cannot remember the dates of interviews with the museum's workers to browse the radio station's archive for more details. Sources available to me readily online are the cited page for the building on the museum complex website and newspaper reports of its planned creation and opening. On Russian Wikipedia there is a separate article on the museum. It really exists and is, as it is said in publications, Russia's first and only museum of World War I. I would love to go there and to the city's research libraries for more sources as I used to for years as a university student and teacher, but now I have been having serious health issues and is physically unable to go out. I have corrected the English translation of the building name after I found the official beds on its English page on tzar.ru GregZak (talk) 05:42, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Please find a source or sources to reference: "The building then served various other purposes, and the museum of World War I was reopened in the building only as late as 2014, after three years of undergoing restoration, because in the Soviet Union the first world war was neglected as a conflict between imperialist powers unlike its consequences such as the Russian Revolution of October 1917 and the Civil War in Russia (1918-1921). Modern Russia has an interest in continuity of the national history, as shown in the combination of its anthem, flag and arms." Regards. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 09:49, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As a blind person, I think this is not a good idea for an article at all. It's far too general ... and there's a grammatical error in the title. Maybe stick to creating articles in your native language ... Graham87 (talk) 15:15, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And ditto for categories, honestly. I've fixed up your categories about visual impairment. Graham87 (talk) 15:42, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
i am shortsighted because of advanced keratoconus and suffer from Parkinson's disease preventing me now from putting on my contact lenses. To improve, not remove,is absolutely fine with me. I used to be a (non-native, yes, but reasonably skilled in grammar) university teacher of English, but my Parkinson's affects both my typing and voice recognition input, voice typing. Sorry for possible mistakes. My categorisation could be improved and it can also have typos because of my medical issues and certain inconvenience of HotCat tool interface on my smartphone. GregZak (talk) 21:20, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
i was going to expand and find and add links - first in the articles on mentioned types of software, but now it is ruined. Ruined without asking. I didnt write it for me - I know what I have got and can use. I was writing it for those with bad or no eyesight who didn't know how to help themselves, for their general orientation which is absolutely necessary, especially where no one else can help them learn what types of assistive devices exists for their misfortune. This article is NOT FOR ME. May it be finished by someone else who cares. And who can stand all this. I myself accidentally learnt about screen readers and only recently about voice control, voice assistants. I wouldn't have a clue to look for screen readers or screen magnifiers, and that's why I and an author of the Russian review article ru:Компьютерные тифлотехнологии saw the need for a general introduction to this field. First I saw that the Russian article doesn't have interwiki links,then I saw that there's no such general article in English or German. Then I took up writing. Do you really believe that to recommend existing screen readers, magnifiers, or Braille displays to the blind and shortsighted the most important thing NOW is finding research? These types of products have existed more than two decades. Since Wikipedia is supposed to be a collaborative project, I could imagine that one person such as I could write a review of these things and another person insert supporting references. Now you are welcome to delete all my contribution. I myself am disabled and can do very little. I am not a physician or software developer, I am just a user of some of these things who understands the needs of other misfortune sufferers. GregZak (talk) 21:10, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Google accessibility software

A tag has been placed on Category:Google accessibility software indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Re the substance of your comment there: the English Wikipedia has extremely high standards for referencing, especially for new content, and ideally every fact in an article should be cited to a reliable source; your article had exactly zero references. We already have sections like Visual impairment#Management. Your behaviour so far has straddled the borderline between boldness and recklessness. Graham87 (talk) 05:14, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop

... your category-fiddling, in extreme contradiction of the English Wikipedia's guidelines about categories and overcategorisation. I have deleted all your recent creations (including the draft discussedd above) as pure and utter disruption; they don't help a single person and all they do is cause stress. Contrast the already-existing category structure of Category:Software by company with your creation of Category:NV Access accessibility software, and notice that that company has and probably always will have just one product, NonVisual Desktop Access.

I've kept Category:Parkinson's disease organizations since that can be easily fit into Wikipedia's category structure like so. Graham87 (talk) 15:17, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am myself a PD sufferer and just saw a huge list of pages within Parkinson's disease category that was obviously necessary to group to sort to let readers find similar items. It is not my fault that some categories are underrepresented in real world or on Wikipedia. Do as you choose. If you can do better that's fine. A Russian saying, which the country is breaking now itself, says that it is much easier to break than build; said to those who enjoy undoing somebody else's job. I can't help things happening anywhere. The list of accessibility software in general can be certainly made better and grouped better and the article on it and related hardware written by a person who can do it perfectly,, with necessary sources etc., not me. There is a demand for an introduction to accessibility technology on computer and mobile devices like in Russian ru:Компьютерные тифлотехнологии I meant to improve,, not disrupt.
