User pages

Thought this might interest you. WP:User page. Doug Weller talk 08:19, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, but what about the user page is bad? AntoineHound (talk) 02:19, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
I'm not sure what I had in mind then, but that welcome post really should be on this page, and when you "click here" to talk to you it goes to an error page of some sort. Doug Weller talk 14:23, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
Thanks, I've fixed the error. AntoineHound (talk) 14:56, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

There has been a mistake

Ive think that you have made a mistake in the article of Kentucky Route 3101, there has been no company-sort parts what so ever. I believe that this is a mistake. TheGs2007 (talk) 02:18, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, I'm just concerned about the notability of a road not even a mile long. see Wikipedia:Notability (highways) AntoineHound (talk) 02:22, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
@TheGs2007: I'm not too concerned about that one based on length. However, most of these are secondary/supplemental highways, and those aren't typically notable enough to have separate articles. Most of them are, or will, be merged into lists as time goes on. It's the quirks of Kentucky that nearly every rural roadway is a state-maintained highway. In other states, such roads would be maintained by counties, and we'd never consider creating articles on them. Imzadi 1979  02:06, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

ISO speedy delete

I declined the speedy delete on ISO/IEC 27000-series as the sources provided are mirrors. The artsandculture.google credited Wikipedia, while Coursehero is a document hosting site with a lot of study guides that are just copies of wikipedia pages. I think you were trying to resolve the copy and paste tag, thanks for trying to help out; the url provided in the tag is permanently dead and thus can't be scanned by Earwig, but I think the problematic section the tag was for was the Published standards section, which was an unencyclopedic list of standards that I've now removed. I'm not 100% sure its a violation, but it shouldn't be in the article. If you want more advice on fixing copy and paste tags I'd recommend asking MrLinkinPark333.

Lagniappe (newspaper)

Can you provide some examples on Talk:Lagniappe (newspaper) of what you think is promotional or reads like a press release? I updated a referenced and removed some unsourced/outdated material. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:37, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

It's a 100% positive article. There's zero contrasting information. I thought the previous edits that it looks like were made by a banned user and restored by the IP provided a balanced and neutral POV. Looks like he/she added a line about a reporter from that paper being recently hired by a politician that a bunch of sources seem to indicate has a cozy relationship with the paper, at the least. I don't know why those were removed. Just look at the huge criticism section on The Washington Post.AntoineHound (talk) 15:44, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
That editor is banned, but beyond that, the addition was poorly-sourced and, like most of that editors previous contributions, violating WP:SYNTH. I have no problems with including criticisms of any publication if it's reliably sourced. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:51, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
Let's work together on seeing if we can add some of the material back in a properly sourced way.AntoineHound (talk) 15:53, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
I'll move the conversation to the article talk page. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:56, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
