Your Inverie Bay Article is Interesting

Keep up the good work! puggo 20:31, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
Thanks @Bug2266: That is very nice. scope_creepTalk 20:37, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Bug2266: Here is another one I did so far, Machrihanish Bay. I plan to create articles for all of them in Scotland eventually. scope_creepTalk 20:43, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No. Not at all. scope_creepTalk 21:03, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I found an article on the web that had been written by a geologist and based the stuff on that. I was fairly straighforward. scope_creepTalk 21:10, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Luftnachrichten Abteilung 350

Hi,

first of all: Sorry for the confusion I've created by modifying the spelling of some words. I didn't realise that one of these words was actually the name of a file, which must of course not be changed. Shame on me.

I've seen that you reverted my current try to put this right. However, I think that in fact outstation is correct and not out-station, although I'm not a native speaker: See e.g. Merriam Webster or Wiktionary. Also I've made some other changes, f.i. High frequency into high frequency. Although all Wikipedia articles start with a capital letter, therefore High frequency, in the article it is then spelled with a lower caps h. high frequency also is a valid link.

Also, I've deleted one instance of the picture "Luftwaffe Radio Communication Network of VHF and Radar Intercept Out-Stations, Signals Regiment South.svg" because it was two times in the article.

Regards --Cyfal (talk) 12:09, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Cyfal: The article needs tons of work. Your very welcome to help. scope_creepTalk 12:26, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the explanation! So in some cases in Luftnachrichten Abteilung 350, it should be spelled out-station (when its a named item, a designed product, that could be duplicated), and in some cases outstation (when its an outpost), as far as I understand. I applied now my former modification again, but this time leaving the all stations untouched. Thank you again --Cyfal (talk) 12:39, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Unspecified source/license for File:Sir Comyns Berkeley.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Sir Comyns Berkeley.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Abbey of Saints Cornelius and Cyprian

Hello, Thank you for your interest in this article. It was posted by me as a new article but the reviewer decided it was not good enough so made it into a draft. Then when the draft was submitted it was not accepted on the grounds of inadequate sourcing. As the French article lacked inline citations and I had no access to any printed sources it was not possible to do much about that. Good luck with expanding it.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 10:25, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Neo-Bechstein

On 23 February 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Neo-Bechstein, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Neo-Bechstein was a pioneering electric grand piano in which the mechanics of the piano were no longer involved in the direct production of sound? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Neo-Bechstein. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Neo-Bechstein), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Looking at Special:Contributions/Camentoogi ...

Do you get a hint of writing under contract? Just weird to pick an AFC as your second article, after your first was a more obscure 'academic'. I then notice them start another sandbox item that hit a spam blacklist item. I think that it smells, though I am a suspicious from my anti-abuse background. — billinghurst sDrewth 11:49, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

List of bays of Scotland

Just wanted to say I understand your point, but as they are right now, that's not what it looks like. It simply looks like there are duplicate entries in the list. To disambiguate them (even if it is a redlink), if you know what body of water they are on, that would do the trick. For instance, if one was on Loch Fyne, you could say, South Bay (Lock Fyne). Or something like that, I'm not really sure of the exactly correct titling guideline for bodies of water.Onel5969 TT me 14:02, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Onel5969: Yip. There is that one problem certainly. I started doing coordinates later, probably too late in the day really. The other problem I've got is I dont even know if the list is complete. I'm comparing it with the one in List of bays of the British Isles which I filled several years ago, but that has several missing, even I though I went over it several times, mostly due to a misunderstanding of Gealic place names. I really dont want stuff going missing. Thanks for the help. I plan to put them all in tables, with coordinates and local location names.

NPR Newsletter No.17

Hello Scope creep,

News
Discussions of interest
  • Two elements of CSD G6 have been split into their own criteria: R4 for redirects in the "File:" namespace with the same name as a file or redirect at Wikimedia Commons (Discussion), and G14 for disambiguation pages which disambiguate zero pages, or have "(disambiguation)" in the title but disambiguate a single page (Discussion).
  • {{db-blankdraft}} was merged into G13 (Discussion)
  • A discussion recently closed with no consensus on whether to create a subject-specific notability guideline for theatrical plays.
  • There is an ongoing discussion on a proposal to create subject-specific notability guidelines for chemicals and organism taxa.
Reminders
  • NPR is not a binary keep / delete process. In many cases a redirect may be appropriate. The deletion policy and its associated guideline clearly emphasise that not all unsuitable articles must be deleted. Redirects are not contentious. See a classic example of the templates to use. More templates are listed at the R template index. Reviewers who are not aware, do please take this into consideration before PROD, CSD, and especially AfD because not even all admins are aware of such policies, and many NAC do not have a full knowledge of them.
NPP Tools Report
  • Superlinks – allows you to check an article's history, logs, talk page, NPP flowchart (on unpatrolled pages) and more without navigating away from the article itself.
  • copyvio-check – automatically checks the copyvio percentage of new pages in the background and displays this info with a link to the report in the 'info' panel of the Page curation toolbar.
  • The NPP flowchart now has clickable hyperlinks.

Thanks, yes exactly as Necrothesp says, Knights Bachelor don't add Kt after their names, presumably because the title "Sir" shows that they have a knighthood, and such a knighthood is not one of the orders of chivalry.

Want to remove spouse name

Hi my Wikipedia page showing wrong information I m trying to remove that but it's never goona remove in google search . Can anyone please help! Kandesrikanth (talk) 18:06, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Kandesrikanth: I can help. The reason I removed it was you don't seem to leave an edit summary. Please change and at the end leave an edit summary. If it is your Wikipedia article, the proper mechanism to update it is usually a Wikipedia:Edit requests, and once it has been posted on the talk page, some other uninvolved editor will come along and address the request.

Regarding your edit on Damon J. Smith Page

Hi Scope Creep, I saw that you removed the music section, referring to it as "puff, native advertising per WP:NOT and WP:NOTADVERTISING. Do not add back in. Less than 4000 in Spotify." Where does it say in Wikipedia's guidelines that a musician has to have 4K+ followers on Spotify to be worthy of referencing their music on Wikipedia? It's not as if the entire page talks about his music. The section you removed included the fact that he charted in the top 10 on Billboard - is that not worthy of note for someone who started his career as an athlete? I could understand changing the name of the section, or removing something that doesn't appear truthful. But everything contained in that section referenced legitimate music industry sources, and I only named it "Rafa Selase (Music)" because of the fact he produces music under a different name and it seemed noteworthy to make that distinction. Taryndejesus (talk) 22:34, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Taryndejesus:. It a very poor section. I will check it. scope_creepTalk 00:11, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Taryndejesus:. Its a top-8 on Billboard's New Age Albums chart, which I think is not notable. The rest is native advertising and full of puff. scope_creepTalk 00:15, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

scope_creep, "I think is not notable" - that and the rest of your critique reflect your opinions, which I must say I don't find trustworthy. People have always used their opinions to marginalize others. Everything I wrote is verified, not my opinion! Another source in the music section is a quote from a writer at No Depression Magazine, which is covered in Wikipedia. Is their opinion not reliable? This biography is in no way advertising. I will continue to refine the page and see if there are areas that can be improved. I am not trying to skew anything, just contribute to the richness of this online encyclopedia with a biography of someone who is well known in my region for having accomplished some out of the ordinary things. Taryndejesus (talk) 02:03, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Taryndejesus:. Morning. Any volunteer editing Wikipedia has a duty to follow the policies that Wikipedia adheres to. These include for this instance, the policies: WP:V, WP:BIO, WP:BAND, WP:SIGCOV and WP:NOT that apply here: There is more, but these are the most important ones. Ultimately anybody can take stuff out an article if they are in good standing, not blocked or not a sock puppet, and other people, in the same manner, could put it back in by reverting, including yourself, or adding all or any part of the work back if they think it is important. If no agreement of what needs to be done is reached, via discussions on the talk page and no consensus can be reached, then something like WP:RFC can be created and a question is set, folk come to an answer it to resolve the break-in consensus and hopefully through the RFC, consensus is reached as to what content can be in the article, and the agreed content put back in. If that doesn't work, and no consensus is reached, then a dispute is probably the next step, via Dispute resolution. If the article survives Afd, it will be copyedited to remove the WP:PUFF.
I get two to three of these types of articles every week that are promotional and have been doing so for more than 7 years, so I am well experienced at determining what is considered notable and what is not. I make mistakes in the work I do, but at the end of the day, promotional content that is advertising and that damages Wikipedia, must come out, at every stage. Here is an article I came across a few days ago: Ilaria Ramelli that is similar to yours. I think it is laudable that you are trying to update the article. I dont mind if you add some new content in from the old content as long as its well sourced and notable. scope_creepTalk 11:31, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

scope_creep I appreciate you taking the time to provide such a thorough response. I will continue to refine the page and hopefully in the end this process will bring about a better biography. Thank you for your help! Taryndejesus (talk) 05:03, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of File:Sukolov Group Belgium.svg

Notice

The file File:Sukolov Group Belgium.svg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No longer need. I built it and it has some mistake in it I cant rectify. Created a new one in a different format which is ok. This is no longer needed.

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 files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

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

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

ACC tool access request approved

Thank you for your interest in the account creation process. I have verified that you have signed the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information and approved your request.

You may now access the interface here pending a tool root marking your account as identified in the tool database. Before you begin handling any requests, please ensure you have read and understood the account creation guide and username policy to familiarize yourself with the process.

Please subscribe yourself to the private ACC mailing list by clicking here and following the instructions on the page. I also highly recommend that you join us on IRC. We'll be able to grant you access to our private channel (#wikipedia-en-accounts connect), where a bot informs us when new account requests arrive, and where you can chat with the other members of the team and get real-time input, advice, and assistance with requests and how to handle certain cases that are giving you confusion or trouble.

IMPORTANT: Please note that repeatedly failing to correctly assess and process account requests and take the correct resulting actions will result in suspension of your access to the ACC tool interface. Processing account creation requests is not a race, and each request should be handled with your upmost diligence, care, and attention. Closing each account request correctly, accurately, and within full compliance of the ACC tool guide is your goal and your priority; never sacrifice accuracy and compliance of policy in exchange for quantity, or to close a high number of requests that are in the queue.

ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL: Releasing any kind of personally identifiable information or any kind of non-public data listed in the access to nonpublic personal data policy (such as the IP addresses or email addresses of account creation requests), whether intentionally or unintentionally, is treated as an extremely serious violation of policy and breach of confidential information, and will generally result in immediate suspension of your access to the ACC tool interface. Depending on the severity of the offense, the intent, and the level of misconduct that occurred, the violation and the breach of the confidential information will be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation, which can result in further sanctions and actions being taken against you (such as being blocked, banned, or having your access to nonpublic personal data status revoked). If you have questions about this, or aren't sure about anything in regards to this policy, please ask a tool administrator.

Your current user rights allow you to create up to six accounts in a 24 hour period. After this limit has been reached, you won't be able to create any more accounts. However, you can still process ACC tool requests without any issues; just place any approved requests back into the queue so that another tool user can perform the account creation step and finish the process for you. You also won't be able to create an account with a similar username to that of another account that exists; these requests are listed in a separate queue on the interface, titled "flagged user needed". However, if you reach the limit frequently, you can request the account creator permission at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Account creator after you've demonstrated a few months of experience and proficiency with processing and handling new account requests.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you have any questions, and I'll be happy to answer them. Thank you for participating in the account creation process, and we're glad to have you as part of the group! Welcome to the ACC tool user team! — JJMC89 (T·C) 01:04, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @JJMC89: Thanks. I plan to spend the next couple of months examining the process and I plan to follow individual cases ran by other ACC folk for a good while before proceeding, if its possible. Cool, the IRC relay chat is real handy. scope_creepTalk 07:38, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think you'll be able to get much out of requests handled by others. Private data is only visible when you reserve a request, and it is purged after the request is closed. The only thing you'll be able to see otherwise is the username. You'll learn more my taking requests then stepping through the guide and asking questions as necessary. — JJMC89 (T·C) 02:54, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

NPR Newsletter No.18

Hello Scope creep,

WMF at work on NPP Improvements

Niharika Kohli, a product manager for the growth team, announced that work is underway in implementing improvements to New Page Patrol as part of the 2019 Community Wishlist and suggests all who are interested watch the project page on meta. Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:

  • Allow filtering by no citations in page curation
  • Not having CSD and PRODs automatically marked as reviewed, reflecting current consensus among reviewers and current Twinkle functionality.
Reliable Sources for NPP

Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.

Backlog drive coming soon

Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.

Hi Scope creep. I saw your comment on my talk page regarding paid editing.

Request on 19:44:26, 24 May 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Wikiproducer123


Hi Scope Creep, Thanks for reviewing an article recently created by me for Mohit Bahl, a well-known Personality in India. I wanna request you to review it again as we had added almost 10+ media coverage about him. I had not added those which I think hardly pass or written by him on well known trusted media sites. Please review it again, I had added each source to prove the originality. I hope you will review it and let me know... Thanks again for contributing for Wikipedia Community.

Wikiproducer123 (talk) 19:44, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Wikiproducer123: I dont think the draft article is notable per WP:BIO and WP:SIGCOV in my opinion. However, if you'd like to get a review from another editor, you are welcome to resubmit the draft. I do not plan to review it again. scope_creepTalk 07:43, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Trade Facilitation Agreement 2014

You might want to add categories to Trade Facilitation Agreement 2014, possibly with other edits, since AfCH didn't complete its' job.

Hi @I dream of horses: I never added categories. It was the last Afc I did last night. I'm not the best at discovering them, unless they are BLP draft submissions. Generally I can sit there for hours trying to discover the right ones, but after years of trying to master it, I've managed to create a working relationship with Vycl1994. When I post an Afc, Vycl1994 comes and post the cats very quickly. scope_creepTalk 13:13, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@I dream of horses: Yes I saw that. All the time. I would never consider a manual move. The script is basic but good. It is not a template that I have seen before, but certainly would have removed it today. I always do a post cleanup, even a complete article rebuild if the draft submission is notable. The fact it was very late last night and it mentioned revision history and some instructions meant I would have left it until morning when I was cogent. I think you would have never seen it otherwise. scope_creepTalk 14:09, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is far beyond my own scope of Wikipedia, buy I noticed this history. You declined the notability of a draft, yet within 30 minutes, the creator of the draft seemingly over-ruled you and the article went live. I suspect this may be a pattern, but I don't know yet. Perhaps you could look at your history of evaluations and see what happens after. If I am reading everything wrong, let me know. Cheers, --SVTCobra (talk) 02:19, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Then you congratulate me and congratulate me for the good work and then you remove the label and publish the article thanking me for the contribution. Then you advise me a public domain with a suitable license for the article and inexplicably you put the label back.

The sculptor is in wikipedia in Spanish, French, Basque, Catalan, etc ...--85.85.195.81 (talk) 19:58, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 85.85.195.81. It is all part of the process for gettting the article for Wikipedia. Another editor has pointed out that the article needs a rewrite and there is potential for it to be deleted. So I moved it to draft so as to ensure it is not deleted. I intend to rewrite it and put it back. If you have an image please add it in. scope_creepTalk 21:55, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Scope creep, editing it in a smaller article is impossible. The editor who pointed out that the article needs a rewrite is Akerbeltz, a character for which many contributors are leaving to write in wikipedia in English and that many editors are putting complaints for editing conflicts with that person. It takes time that instead of building is dedicated to destroy in the wikipedia and people stop collaborating to avoid conflicts with this person, it is a shame but it is reality. To give you an example: Pages in category "Basque sculptors", for Akerbeltz there are only 4 Basque sculptors and it turns out that one is not even Basque but French. As many of the contributors and editors will not waste my time more on collaborating in wikipedia in English, it's not worth it. As I told you to edit the smallest article, I find it impossible when, precisely because of Akerbeltz, I had to reduce it to the minimum expression by leaving the article in a simple sentence without any interest. I suggest creating a redirect from another wikipedia page, for example from Spanish. Greetings and thanks for your interest, it's a shame that others like Akerbeltz have lost it and say it verbatim: Greatly reducing my involvement on the English Wikipedia. Too many nutters, POV pushers and Wiki lawyers without a shred of common sense and not enough people willing to stand up to them ....by the way The Basque Barnstar of National Merit does not deserve it and they should take it away. Greetings and thanks. As I say, it's not worth wasting your time with that Akerbeltz editor, it creates a redirect.--85.84.35.45 (talk) 09:21, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 85.85.195.81 I wouldn't worry too much about the initial size of it. Even the smallest articles grow in Wikipedia. People see it and information appears and added; they start to grow. I have seen small article of a few hundred bytes grow to 80k in three years. scope_creepTalk 12:06, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Scope creep, I still think that it is best to create a redirect. So that you see a clear example of the weak favor that Akerbeltz is doing to wikipedia in English and especially to Basque art and culture; Here is a list of the current Basque sculptors in Spanish wikipedia who had planned to write their biographies in this English wikipedia, but given the attitude of Akerbeltz, I do not intend to waste my time fighting against their despotism and egocentrism.--85.84.192.250 (talk) 15:08, 18 June 2019 (UTC) Category: Sculptors of the Basque Country (Categoría:Escultores del País Vasco).[reply]

I'm sure some of these folk would be notable. Jorge Oteiza This person already has an article. This person Remigio Mendiburu could probably achieve an article and has several reference in GBooks. scope_creepTalk 16:35, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

All these people are remarkable sculptor artists. You say of Remigio Mendiburu thatDo you have several references in GBooks? That does not matter to Akerbeltz, do you know that Akerbeltz is systematically erasing a book of Basque mythology from the author of the article he was writing and that book also has references in GBooks and also has references in The Royal Academy of the Basque Language (Euskaltzaindia), in the Public Reading Network of Euskadi / Library Bilbao-Mediateka BBK of Azkuna Zentroa, Dialnet, etc ... well, it does not matter to him the references to that Akerbeltz, which are also the best contrasted references that I have seen. that as I say, I will not waste my time more contributing here, looking for the best references, etc ... I already tell you that editor Akerbeltz is having several disputes and discussions with other editors who do not think like him and have put him in knowledge of the superiors, but they do not do anything to him and he gets away with it. As I say, I will not waste my time contrasting more than reputable and outstanding references or writing in wikipedia while there is this type of editors who do not reason and always has to be what he says.

New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019

Hello Scope creep,

WMF at work on NPP Improvements

More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.

QUALITY of REVIEWING

Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.

Backlog

The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.

Move to draft

NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.

Notifying users

Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.

PERM

Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.

Other news

School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.

Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

Julian W. Lucas Page Deleted

Hello, the page for Julian W. Lucas was just deleted due to lack of notability and not enough credible sources. Today, literally an article was just posted via the Inquirer, one of the largest most respected news sources in the country and has won 20 Pulitzer Prizes, talking about him, his accomplishments, and his notability. The article literally has in the title that he is one of the first an only one armed models. https://www.inquirer.com/news/julian-w-lucas-tommy-hilfiger-model-actor-comedian-one-arm-from-bucks-county-20190703.html It's one of many articles done about him that are about him and not a trivial mention and are considered "Reliable" just as the Wikipedia guidelines are stated. These are also independent sources. According to the Wikipedia guidelines, Notability is defined as "For people, the person who is the topic of a biographical article should be "worthy of notice or "note"—that is, "remarkable" or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded" within Wikipedia as a written account of that person's life. "Notable" in the sense of being famous or popular—although not irrelevant—is secondary. " As he is one of the only one armed models ever, and is legitimately successful, documented, and followed, he clearly falls under the definition of Notability, being "worthy of notice" "note"—that is, "remarkable" or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded" as it is literally being done from various news outlets. I would like to be able to recreate the deleted Wikipedia article and have it successfully stay published as he is clearly deserving of one, and is clearly eligible based off of the current Wikipedia Guidelines.

Hi @Livewire123: I know how you feel, but at the moment he is simply not notable. My first article was deleted and it peeved me off to say the least after spending 2 hours. He may become notable as time passes. scope_creepTalk 14:29, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Scope creep. I added a few sources to the page and moved the existing ones into relevant places within the paragraphs. This is my first article and I'm not really sure what happens now - do I resubmit, or...? Thanks TonalThomas (talk) 14:10, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Christopher M. S. Johns

Johns holds a named chair at Vanderbilt University, so he meets notability via WP:PROF #5. I am myself not a fan of WP:PROF in general or this criterion in particular, and the draft has, of course, other problems, but "notability" technically isn't one of them. Huon (talk) 21:37, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Huon: How are you? Yip it is a named chair, very prestigious and eminently notable, but the problem with the article is that there is no sources worth talking about, so notability hasn't been proved. scope_creepTalk 12:40, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see how "eminently notable" and "notability hasn't been proved" can both be correct. Are you saying it hasn't been proved that he holds a named chair? Regarding the lack of secondary sources, that is, of course, a problem, but that's a different problem, and it would have been more helpful for the author to leave more specific feedback. Huon (talk) 20:06, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Huon. It is not a dichotomy and not mutually exclusive. He holds a named chair, but it must proven. There must be sources to establish notability per WP:V, so it is technically correct that notability has not been established here on Wikipedia. 100 years up the road, the only things that will be left to prove that he is a named chair is a page or two in archive entry and this entry. The guy is in orbit and anybody of that standing you would expect to see about a dozen or more good sources to establish every facet of their life. Any academics life is built on collaboration, so there should be a tremendous amount of concomitant information on him. When I looked at it, I did check the editor but he wasn't coming back, otherwise I would left some instructions. I do regularly leave instructions if I think they're keen to work on it. So many editors just dump the article and don't come back. I don't plan to leave it in there. It will need rescued as the editor is not coming back and I plan to do it now. scope_creepTalk 20:36, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Why was it revdel'd? scope_creepTalk 20:44, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, they did come back (or more precisely, they came to the IRC help channel) after the draft was rejected. They might want to work on it some more. I told them that published reviews of his work might be helpful, so with any luck they'll improve the draft. As I said above, I fully agree on the sources issue; in fact, one of the two doesn't even mention him, and some content was copy-pasted from his own "faculty" page; I got rid of that and revdel'd the copyright-infringing revisions. You can find the explanation in the logs, too. Huon (talk) 20:51, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's good. Yip. I would never have known that help was requested. Its completely transparent. You may need to look some way of sending a notification to the reviewing editor that help has been requested, so they can get into gear. The reviewing editor is at the sharp end and are the best folk to expedite any help, when they are in the context, so to speak. I could have offered another ref as a get go.: CV. There is more. scope_creepTalk 21:05, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

RfA process

Hey, Scope creep! I didn't want to muddy the waters at RfA talk when you'd asked for very general feedback. Are you talking about secret ballot, set terms with regular re-elections, no votes counted until the vote is over, simple majority rather than consensus? I assume you're taking into account that admins operate here as enforcers of rules. Some jurisdictions vote for judges and prosecutors, a few for sheriffs, but often they're appointed by elected officials. And does anyone vote for police officers? So I'd almost think it would need to be an indirect process -- that is, we elect our representatives and rely on our representatives to make appointments. --valereee (talk) 12:34, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Valereee: None of that. Transparency is really important. Consensus is important as well, but the time frame is important as well. The number of admin that are being accepted is the critical part and the lack thereof. One person per vote is massively inefficient. The reason I asked for feedback is that don't know how the WP:RFA process got started and how/if it can be changed. i don't know enough about it. I think it is incredibly wasteful of time, good candidates are turned away by dodgy voting and it scares a lot a people away from it in the first place, because it doesn't address the nature of administration. It is administration. But the primary problem is we not getting a large block of folk through it on per yearly basis. I plan to write a essay so I can bring it all together. scope_creepTalk 17:47, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Gotcha. Glad I didn't ask there and possibly create silly offtopicness! --valereee (talk) 17:56, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for feedback Felix Velarde

Thank you for the input and feedback - very helpful - we'll adjust the text accordingly. Please note, we are not being paid to edit the page and do not have a conflict of interest. We have removed all of the unreferenced elements of text. We will keep the awards as the Drum is one of the top 3 design and marketing publications in the UK (the European hub for creativity).

Jhoward734 (talk) 13:43, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Jhoward734: Thanks for getting back to me. The Drum awards are for the company and this is a BLP article, so they won't be staying as they are non notable and only indirectly linked to the subject. You can post and Rfc, but it wont be favour of your view. It is promotion and awards must be won by the person. The link to the famous architect is a good knowledge, if you have a ref for. scope_creepTalk 13:58, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Scope creep: Thank you for your clarifications. I have edited the new information to be more relevant to the guidelines of BLP articles. Jhoward734 ([[User talk:|talk]]) 11:20, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Jhoward734: That is still promotional. Blp article are written from the viewpoint of the past. So if your talking about services, then what services they offered in the past. Your saying He has an interested in company scale-ups Thats is promotional, advertising his business and it is talking about the present. Also you seem to be pushing the exact same sentence over and over again. You say your not being paid, but it is indicative of you being paid or least have a conflict of interest. I plan to post you to the coin boards. scope_creepTalk 11:33, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Disruptive editing

You are stalking my edits and undoing them for ludicrous reasons. Get a grip on yourself and start editing productively. Lqqhh (talk) 15:01, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lqqhh You took out a notable piece of information from FA article without consensus thereby breaking the FA criteria, particularly since anybody with a military hobby, watched a tv series on the war, read some books on it, would know it was famous. You've added a date range into a lede, which a no-no generally, usually discussed into the body of an article and you have still not added a reference into a section. Your editing is really decent so why not add a reference into the article. I looked for one and couldn't find a thing. It puzzles me why your not putting one in? I'm starting to think there is some other reason, that perhaps you found the information on a blog. Although I hate adding warnings to a decent editor, if you can't follow the normal rules of discussion. If you keep going your own way you will be blocked. Lastly when warnings are issued, an entry is made is made into a category which is monitored by administrators. So clearing the talk page, which is a known tactic to hide warning, doesn't work. scope_creepTalk 15:14, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Strikethrough that content. I know you never added it, but it still should referenced when updated, otherwise Wikipedia wouldn't be updated. scope_creepTalk 16:15, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Review newsletter September-October 2019

Hello Scope creep,

Backlog

Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.

Coordinator

A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.

This month's refresher course

Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.

Deletion tags

Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.

Paid editing

Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines' (SNG). Alternatives to deletion
  • Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves once more with notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
  • Blank-and-Redirect is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.
Not English
  • A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.
Tools

Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.

Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.

Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

DannyS712 bot III is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log.

Carajou's arguably disruptive comments in deletion discussions

Hi Scope creep, I noticed that you and I both warned user Carajou on the same day with respective to potentially disruptive comments on our respective AfD discussions. Looking at his or her Special:Contributions/Carajou, he or she seems to post the same sort of irrelevant links to Bing searches on multiple AfD discussions. I can't find where to check his or her IP as I've encountered similar problems with Eliko007 and wanted to confirm if there was a potential WP:Sockpuppet. Do you think it's worth raising an issue together in some venue, other than or in the Administrators' noticeboard?

Hi @Dmehus: There behavior at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NewtonX, Inc. (2nd nomination) I found to be a bit unusual. I've posted the whole thing up to WP:COI. It is worth singning your comment with four titles like ~~~~ scope_creepTalk 02:20, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dan Wagner

Hi Scope Creep. I was adding stuff from published major newspapers and including Wagner's new company Rezolve and two other big companies that are not even mentioned - Attraqt plc and Venda - which was sold to Oracle. It seems very odd to not include those companies when they represent so much of Wagner's life

Also, there has been a lot of news in the London Times about his latest company Rezolve which needed adding and cannot have been there two years ago....

finally, everything i just added (its taken an hour!) is all from highly reputable sources - Wall Street Journal, PC World, The Times, The Telegraph, etc — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.248.18.228 (talk) 15:37, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 89.248.18.228. Good to talk to you. Two years ago the article was copy-edited and article consensus was reached with Request for Comment that decided all the oracle related stuff is non-notable and your trying to add it back in and turning the clock back four years. It is clear you've been paid to write this. Declare your a paid editor per WP:PAID and WP:DISCLOSURE and make an Wikipedia:Edit requests on the talk page, where it will be checked. No doubt a good chunk of it will go in, but the puff with stay out. scope_creepTalk 15:47, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

GA reviewing

Thanks again for reviewing Electrical telegraphy in the United Kingdom. That was very much appreciated. As you have taken such a detailed interest in it, perhaps you would like to follow it on the path to FA, on which I intend to take it? If you're not interested, please say, otherwise I'll give you a ping when it's up for review.

I think you mentioned that this was your first review of a GA. I thought I should come here and give you some advice – in the spirit of helpfulness rather than criticism. You would be unwise to review all GAs to the extent you have with this article. Many editors will become upset if you start asking for changes outside the GA criteria. You could have even got a response like that from me if it wasn't for the FA potential of this page. Wikipedia:What the Good article criteria are not is a useful essay on common mistakes in this regard. My personal approach is to only include things outside the criteria if they are likely uncontroversial and quick fixes. Uncontroversial will usually mean that it is recommended in a guideline. Anything else I studiously ignore. If the nominator declines to do any of the out-of-scope issues, then I just pass it anyway without comment. Telling them they are wrong just generates bad feeling. Another approach I have seen from some editors is to list the GA issues that determine whether the article passes or fails, and separately create a list of suggestions for further work. One approach I wouldn't recommend (but I have seen a lot of reviewers do it) is to run through the article themselves with a copyedit before starting the review. Unless you know the editor, and know what they are going to find controversial, that method has the potential to start a dispute before the review has even begun.

Hi, can you please read the talk page of this page, and remove to speedy deletion template if the explanation is sufficient? Thanks. Otherwise, let me know what should be changed. See [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Initramfs (talk • contribs) 16:25, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Initramfs: It fails WP:PRODUCT and doesn't have a originating article that proves its notable. scope_creepTalk 16:29, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Scope creep: I do not think that the *company* BaoFeng is notable. However, I do think this specific product of BaoFeng is notable, which is possible according to the page you linked: "Note that a specific product or service may be notable on its own, without the company providing it being notable in its own right." Initramfs (talk) 16:35, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
True, but I don't think it is notable. It needs to be inordinately popular product to make it on here and it needs prove it. Four or five small references won't cut it. WP is not product listing site generally. You can contest it if you want to and then it will go to an Afd. I would suggest that. scope_creepTalk 16:43, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Scope creep: How do I contest it? BaoFeng does not release their sales numbers (of course), but this particular model has thousands of reviews just on Amazon for a single listing, it has been sold through different channels (especially Chinese web shops). This model is also the base of a lot of other radios under different brands. [2] [3]
There is a button on the front the dialog. Supply a reason. scope_creepTalk 17:08, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Scope creep: Hmm, I already did it before, but now there are two different entries. I think the explanation is a sufficient proof that the product is notable. Anyway, can I ping someone apart from you to review this entry in the talk page? Initramfs (talk) 17:20, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Initramfs, ask an administrator for help. Bbb23 is pretty decent. Post a message, see what they say about it. If the speedy is rejected I plan to take it to Afd. scope_creepTalk 17:25, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Scope creep: and @Onel5969:. I updated the user page to include a paid disclosure. I definitely don't meet the test in a traditional sense but I think it's easier to simply disclose a conflict rather than face immediate assumptions at every turn. :)

On to the topic of Bonin Bough. My understanding of the situation is that he does meet WP:NOTABILITY, but some of the sources are "paid for" -- as you put it (scope) and "PR pieces" (One15969). It's (truly, truly) a serious accusation to claim a publication is paid off without disclosure but setting that aside for a moment, the articles that support his notability are:

  • Fast Company |in depth = yes|different journalist than other publications = yes|
  • The Guardian |in depth = yes|different journalist than other publications = yes|
  • Adage |in depth = yes|different journalist than other publications = yes|
  • PBS |in depth = yes|different journalist than other publications = yes|
  • PR Week |in depth = yes|different journalist than other publications = yes|
  • American Inno |in depth = yes|different journalist than other publications = yes|

Mashable |in depth = yes|different journalist than other publications = yes|

  • EMarketer |in depth = yes|different journalist than other publications = yes|
  • C-suite Quarterly |in depth = yes|different journalist than other publications = yes|
  • The Drum |in depth = yes|different journalist than other publications = yes|
  • [Salon (website)]] |in depth = yes|different journalist than other publications = yes|
  • Foodbeast |in depth = yes|different journalist than other publications = yes|
  • Cleveland.com |in depth = no|different journalist than other publications = yes|
  • Page Six |in depth = yes|different journalist than other publications = yes|
  • Fortune |in depth = yes|different journalist than other publications = yes|
  • Forbes |in depth = yes|different journalist than other publications = yes|

And there are others. Many others. The journalists who wrote at each are all different. And of course there are multiple articles at each publication. I itemized "in depth" and also "different journalist" above so we don't run the risk of the same writer at more than one publication covering Bonin.

Intuitively, the youngest black man at a Fortune 50 -- not 500 -- in the C-suite seems fitting for a page given the volume of coverage on him. One who was a host for a whole season of a show on CNBC seems even more of a shoe in.

Further, a comparison to "peers" who are on Wikipedia yields hundreds if not thousands of subjects with far, far less coverage. Like embarrassingly less. Here's just one the Wiki tools directed me to for first edits to "help" Allison Kugel. I can find thousands of others. :)

So tell me, what am I missing? Would you reconsider if I redrafted this without an accolades section, shorted it way up, tersely, and stuck to just a few lines of facts on him supported by the sources above?

Respectfully and sincerely here. SilvanJo (talk) 17:12, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @SilvanJo: Thanks for that and getting back to me. I think that article is in draft. Its a redirect, ok. The reason it was posted was that most of the reference are from paid for work. It becomes very easy over years of doing NPP review and AFC review to see articles that have been paid for and have really dodgy references like this article. To make the article work, I would suggest WP:THREE sources, which are good WP:SECONDARY references that are independent and in-depth about him and only him. I would suggest creating a draft and start with the Guardian reference. Hope that helps. scope_creepTalk 17:34, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It is worth pointing out that paid work is good if the editor declares and the work is high quality. scope_creepTalk 17:36, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It goes without saying that probably his page should be maybe 200 words and not 800+. While notable, he's not Kissinger. Back to your question on the three:

These are the three least suspicious articles that explain the core reason he's notable, too: "best known for hosting CNBC's Cleveland Hustles and as a Fortune 50 CMO. I don't think race (he's black and that's very rare for C-suite execs at Fortune 50) or "paying" for articles had so much to do with all of the coverage -- so much as simply some creative campaigns like "you can still dunk in the dark" for Oreos. And pointedly -- there's just no way he paid for an editor at Fast Company to write a feature on him. CNBC, too. That's just absurd. That said, regarding the Wiki page itself, I do think avoiding any editorializing, any promotion nonsense, and keep it very straightforward, you have a good page here that adds value to the community and puts Wikipedia first. SilvanJo (talk) 19:14, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @SilvanJo: References really shouldn't be suspicious. The ideal secondary is from a newspaper or an book. The first two references are video and not ideal as as references. The second guardian reference is media-network-blog/ is a blog ref and is unsuitable. The fast company article is tiny and its intellectually independent and in-depth.scope_creepTalk 18:36, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks -- I only started with Guardian because you mentioned it.

  • 1. You wrote regarding Fast Company its intellectually independent and in-depth. Is it safe to say that's one of the three?

There's a second, full spread piece in Fast Company at [4] -- and the print version is five pages long. Elizabeth Segran, again, staff -- has very clear editorial oversight over her.

  • 2. Number two would then be reliable source CNBC, at Exec Bonin Bough... (written by Zack Guzman, now PM Anchor @YahooFinance -- with clear editorial oversight at CNBC at the time)

and

Are we satisfied on these three? Because I can go on and on -- there is The Drum written by staff [8] and Entrepreneur, Forbes, and Financial Times beyond that. SilvanJo (talk) 02:48, 22 October 2019 (UTC) SilvanJo (talk)[reply]

Your help desk question

You didn't get a response to this question. Did you find what you were looking for? I don't really understand the question since I haven't worked with math-related articles.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:47, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Vchimpanzee: If you have a look at the talk page of user:BetterMath and regarding the article Relative likelihood. It regards the term itself, Relative likelihood, was originally in bold all over the article. I thought bolding wasn't used for the name of a mathematical function in an article, nor italics. However BetterMath converted the name relative likelihood into italics. The fundamental question is supposed in Italics or is it bold. I don't think it is anything. The function is left as a plain name. Thanks for coming back. scope_creepTalk 20:57, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Loch Long, Highlands

Thank you for the comment concerning Loch Long, Highlands. I'm not sure why coordinates would point to the end of a body of water. However, I have on occasion pointed them toward a center point that actually was outside a body of water with a very irregular shape. In most cases, I try to use my best guess in placing coordinates. While there is undoubtedly a way to mathematically find a shape's center, most water bodies expand with rains, tides, etc., and contract in dry periods, so calculating most centres, lengths and widths is not an exact science. Bill Pollard (talk) 22:14, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Wpollard: In that case you shouldn't really do that, particularly if its UK loch or lake or land feature, e.g a bay. In the long run its better to keep then synced with the Ordnance Survey coordinates, which is the most importance geographic dataset in the UK. Your stab at coords when they are already available, are probably wrong, now that I've thought about it. You have got for Loch long at Coord|57|17|53|N|5|29|21.2|W| when the coords are actually at 57°18'46.1"N 5°27'45.3"W. The only people that update these maps are the Ordnance Survey in the UK, so when you putting in your own coords, your making the geographic dataset that is available on Wikipedia a secondary source, a lesser data source by definition. The Wikipedia geographic dataset is available as a download and it needs to be in sync with the ordinance survey or its useless. To find the coords for place in Google or Bing put in Loch long highland getoutside, turns up [[9]]. At the moment I'm putting in Scottish lochs and bays. I have done about 40 so far and plan to do them all. I now plan to go around and update all the ones you've incorrectly updated. I'm sorry about that. scope_creepTalk 22:53, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I thought I had a ton of work in front of me. That cool. Sorry about that. scope_creepTalk 22:57, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I have changed very few coordinates in Britain. For Britain, I will go by what the ordinance survey uses, if they have something. In many places in the world, there are no coordinates and I have corrected coordinates that I have found wrong. I will try to find where in Britain I may have changed coordinates and change them back, but I know at most only a few places would be involved. I regret having caused anyone problems. Please accept my apology. Bill Pollard (talk) 19:22, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You may have noticed that I added a lake infobox, as this loch is listed under WikiProject Lakes (although it is not truly a lake). I have been going through the 'stubs' list of the Lakes project and adding information to articles to improve them. This has been quite fascinating, as lakes, swamps, parks containing lakes, dried lakebeds and even water bodies connected to seas and oceans are included in this project.

Hi Scope creep, first, thanks for all you on WP, especially at NPP. A few months back (maybe as many as 12), it was decided at NPP that articles which were either prodded or speedied shouldn't be reviewed until the prod/speedy had been determined. AfD's are okay, but not the other two. Onel5969 TT me 19:14, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ripoff

The article ripoff, although badly written, has been there for a while. I don't think a speedy delete draftify is appropriate. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 02:44, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Adrienne Alexander

The same applies as to ripoff. The article has been around for a while, and I can see no justification for speedily removing it from mainspace. The appropriate venue is WP:AFD. Please revert yourself, especially since the first to move it was a blocked sock, and you are restoring his edits. If you can point to a guideline which allows this, we can discuss it there. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 16:32, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:The Albanian Great Doors

Hi. Draft:The Albanian Great Doors just came up for WP:G13, which I fixed. I see you were interested in this last year. Did you make any progress? It's an obviously well-written article, so I don't want to see it get lost. But, nobody seems to be able to find any information about it, so I don't want to accept it into mainspace, so there's a WP:V problem. For all I know, it's a hoax. That, plus the neutrality template somebody dropped on it. Any thoughts on this? -- RoySmith (talk) 19:11, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @RoySmith: It's been a while since I looked at it, unfortunately. I think it a translation of an Albanian Wikipedia article. When I first saw it, a did some research and found out it was talking about the Albanian merchant class. I posted a note up to a reference desk looking for an Albanian expert who could perhaps copyedit it, tidy it up and make it more recognisably English, but nothing came of it. I don't know if maybe want to find another expert. It certainly looks like a decent article and lot of work has gone into it to try an align the Wikipedia article with the English Wikipedia. Unfortunately the editor has dissapeared. scope_creepTalk 20:27, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As I started digging into this again, I discovered I had asked about it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albania#Need help reviewing some drafts a year ago and got discouraging input. Do you remember if you ever found anything that used the term "Great Door" in this context? It's weird that I can find absolutely nothing. My hunch is that "Great Door" may be some weird auto-mis-translation. Google translate gives "Dyert e Medha Shqiptare" -> "Great Albanian Doors", and "Oxhaqet e Medhenj Shqiptare" -> "Large Albanian Chimneys". Maybe I'll just G13 it after all, but I figured I'd give it one last shot to see if I could make any sense of it. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:39, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @RoySmith: I think it was the best thing for it. It has to be in context, in the language we're speaking and verifiable, and it only partially fit that. On top of that two separate attempts, to try and understand it, is a lot for a draft particularly if you can't make any headway.scope_creepTalk 18:04, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @AnxFab: Unfortunately that individual is not notable. I reviewed it as part of the NPP process. There is some minor coverage but not nearly enough to create an article. I did do a good search. The only thing I could find was his association with a football team and it was only that association that brought the name up. There is nothing else, no bio information at all. He may be mentioned in Wikipedia in several places as has several million other people, but that doesn't make him notable. I would suggest creating a draft on other Bulgarian subject or individual. Bulgaria is under represented on Wikipedia and there is lot of articles that could be created. I will remove that tag. scope_creepTalk 09:22, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
