Old Man Consequences

On behalf of the people and government of our state, I congratulate Democrat Oye Owolewa, from homeland Omu-Aran (Kwara State), on his deserving victory in the US election. His victory is a reflection of his outstanding personality as a young man with a purpose. I also specially congratulate the Kwara State Association of North America (KSANG) family, especially Alhaji Lateef Amolegbe, for their unflinching support for candidate Owolewa.

Adeoye "Oye" Owolewa (born 1989) is a Nigerian American politician, pharmacist, and a member of the Democratic Party. In November 2020, he was elected as the shadow representative of the United States House of Representatives from the District of Columbia. As a shadow congressperson, Owolewa is tasked with lobbying for D.C. statehood; the unpaid position is authorized by D.C. voters in 1982, but never approved by Congress. Although mistakenly described in Nigerian media as the first Nigerian American to be elected to the U.S. Congress, Owolewa is not a member of Congress.

Summaries for stub sorting

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. Thanks! {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 21:07, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

Stub assessment

Greetings, you reverted a maintenance edit (More Tuscany) with the edit summary that it was not a stub. Marking an article as a stub is not derogatory but places it in a category for articles to be expanded.

There are generally not a lot of conflicts in identifying stub articles and I have never had one contested. Perhaps, you might read Wikipedia:Stub, specifically This page in a nutshell; An article too short to provide more than rudimentary information about a subject should be marked as a stub and the lead A stub is an article deemed too short to provide encyclopedic coverage of a subject, before assessing or reassessing articles. The "Basic information section states, A stub is an article that, although providing some useful information, lacks the breadth of coverage expected from an encyclopedia, and that is capable of expansion. The section goes on to give some examples (How big is too big?) of ten sentences. The article is full of continual run-on sentences but even at that after corrections, it would be hard to get to the minimum, which would still be argumentative at best. The next criteria would be 250 words and the article has 1469 B (238 words) of "readable prose size", so also falls short of the "1,500 characters in the main text".

Exceptions might include,

• 1)- if a subject is not expandable. This might mean you agree with a lack of notability, or maybe consider it falls under the
• 2)- Croughton-London rule, meaning that even though very short the article is fairly comprehensive in coverage. This article "stub" (identified by the above criteria) is neither well-written nor comprehensive.

Of course, your opinion on how you arrived at the conclusion the article is not a stub, might include a rationale not found in the above-mentioned editing guideline. -- Otr500 (talk) 16:14, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

My conclusion was based on article length as well as the number of references. Since it was not quality-assessed by a WikiProject, I decided to be bold and removed the template. This was not an obvious case, however. Old Man Consequences (talk) 16:25, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

I see, but the number of references doesn't really factor in. That is just a good example that an article "may" be expandable. As for article size, it is below the minimum of listed examples. I have seen junk articles, that were well dummy sourced, that did not pass AFD when sources were examined. Many Italian-based articles, especially political ones, are not assessed. When a new class assessment is very quickly reverted it makes one wonder, especially with the thousands of stub-classed articles under-assessed. -- Otr500 (talk) 20:32, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

Stub assessment

You reverted a maintenance edit [1] for NewSpring church. Marking an article as a stub is not meant to be derogatory but places the article in a category that will attract editors to help expand the article. I see you have been queried over this before and recently. I have opened a section on the article talk page explaining why it is a stub. The referencing is poor on the page, and the information on what ought to be a notable subject is miniscule. I would invite you to return the stub template so that the page can be improved.

why did you remove the stub template from the article B Major (Bjorn Martin)

Hello there! I'm fairly new to wikipedia but had an account before but that was many years ago forgot many things including the password lol Im experienced in journalism and script writing way back in my previous life...but am rusty so I was just wondering why the article stub template got removed? and if you could you rate the quality of my article out of 10 which would it be? I would love to learn from your edits/knowledge and improve my skills on wikipedia to help better and provide accurate reliable independent sources for future works. Thanks Defunkedmaster (talk) 23:06, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I removed the stub template because the article was too long to be considered a stub. See WP:Stub for more detail. As to the quality of the article, I would say probably start-class. Instead of rating articles on a scale of 1 to 10, we use WP:ASSESSMENT. Old Man Consequences (talk) 00:10, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

okay thank you for the fast reply, i read the WP:ASSESSMENT but am I understanding it right that the rating start-class doesn't mean my article will be deleted but does however have the potential to be a article in the main space? also would you rate my first article I created too, please!? which is Nina Hastie thank you!

Defunkedmaster (talk) 07:17, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

I'd say the Nina Hastie article is also start-class. As to whether your articles will be deleted, see WP:N. A start-class article is less likely to be deleted than a stub, but it can still happen. Old Man Consequences (talk) 15:31, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

Thank you so much! could u maybe help me with something please? also have I told you I really like the name you chose!? One of my articles Draft:B Major (Bjorn Martin) got an administrator creation/protection on the page. i had no idea that will happen yesterday while the wiki article i created is start-class quality.. it was moved to Draft space yesterday and that's when someone protected the page, it might be someone who has a personal vendetta with the topic or i don't know really. but that's not allowed on wiki, the person seems to have a personal issues with the subject i wrote about and I'm just curious as to what you think about that? and what WP article can i send him which shows that having personal issues with a topic shouldn't affect the article of being created because of his or her feelings. I'm basically asking if you could help move the page back to the live space and rate it as start-class please, if it gets deleted in future i'll do my best to defend the works.

I will be a extended confirmed user very soon and I will contributing a lot to the encyclopedia but the page needs administrators permission to move it, my Nina Hastie article is still live and no one marked it start-class or anything.. could you consider doing that for me also please?

Thank You & One Love!

Central Bohemia geo stubs

Hello! I deal with the maintenance of municipalities in the Czech Republic and their destubbing. I noticed that you interfere with sorting the stubs. It is not necessary. All the municipalities are uniformly sorted by regions and these interventions are not systematic. The only region that is slighty "oversized" is the Central Bohemian, but for the size of its districts there would be only a few dozen stubs in each (average 69, but in reality some would be less than 50, and none over 100), and I am continuously reducing the number of these stubs. It is better to temporarily have one category slightly over 800 than to permanently have 12 undersized categories. I consider the current uniform division to be sufficient and I would not like you to do unnecessary work. Thanks FromCzech (talk) 05:35, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me, I’ll leave those articles alone from now on. Old Man Consequences (talk) 13:06, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Maybe for the reasons mentioned above it would be good to delete these categories, but I can't judge if those reasons are sufficient. And I haven't figured out if it's possible to put a proposal on all of them at once within one proposal. FromCzech (talk) 05:30, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
