• Joe Barnes (talk · contribs)
  • Draft:Andy Torbet (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I have made added more reliable sources as recommended. Are the sources I've selected reliable enough or should I look for more?

Good work, I accepted the submission.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  11:55, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

The Candle of the Path of Allah

Hello, Do you have any justification for attempting to merge the The Candle of the Path of Allah page with Syed Jawad Naqvi]? Relevant sources have been added, including some from official Iranian government library websites, in Farsi (in case you are unable to decipher the language). I assure you that they confirm the existence of the book, and provide essential details, site as the book's bibliography number. I will be delighted to entertain your concerns, --Cuparsk | ‏الحسين‎ 13:33, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Yes. articles require significant coverage in independent, reliable sources to be considered notable. First Facebook is not a reliable ref for anything. All of the remaining references to the book in the article currently are merely library refs, and all these do is indicate the existence of the book, but do not establish notability. Please see WP:42.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  21:22, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

According to the page you quoted itself, the need for an article's notability is not actually a Wikipedia guideline or policy. Anyhow, the book is sufficiently notable as one of the primary publications of this author, even if you cannot find a great amount of information on it in English on the Internet. I don't see why it should be ignored just because someone who does not speak the language considers it un-noteworthy. I assure you that the English Web is not by any means a suitable indicator of the importance of this book. Moreover, multiple sources were added, including from other published texts not available on the Internet.--Cuparsk | ‏الحسين‎ 13:22, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

You are free to provide reliable sources in any language you like to support the article's notability, they don't have to be in english. As far as I can see this has not been done.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  21:04, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

• 64.150.196.138 (talk · contribs)
  • Draft:The Most Beautiful Moment in Life On Stage: Epilogue (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

In regards to the need for more high quality sources. Does the page require more sources as a matter of point or more valid sources on the information?

Not entirely certain which necessity it is. ALso which of the specific links? The one denoting concert attendance or tour dates?

It needs reliable sources, please see WP:RS. It needs more than one of these that are independent of the subject (non affiliated) and these sources must have significant coverage of the topic (not just passing mentions).  InsertCleverPhraseHere  11:41, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Alright then, not sure on how I determine their independence from the group in question since as far as I'm they have no personal stake in the groups. And the articles are directly referring to the group's attendance numbers/tour dates. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.150.196.138 (talk) 19:21, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

An independent source is one that is not connected to the source personally or financially, and has no vested interest. See Wikipedia:Independent sources. The article just needs a couple more good sources.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  03:46, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Adesua Etomi

Hello sir. I was about creating the above article when I noticed there was already a draft article. I noticed the problem with the draft was majorly the references and incoherent use of uppercase for film titles. If the draft is accepted, I will fix the issues with the article. Do you think I should wait for the draft to be accepted or create my own stub article of the subject? I came here because you were the last to decline its move to mainspace.

United Kingdom withdrawal from the European Union Move closure

I am wondering what possible policy based rationale you chose for closing the move request at Talk:United Kingdom withdrawal from the European Union. You didn't give one, and the discussion was full of 'slang' and 'informal' oppose votes, neither of which is a valid reason in WP policy to oppose a move, and there was plenty of people commenting on this fact. It seems that you engaged in !vote counting for the most part, especially as you did not give a policy reason for the Oppose in your closing. For such a controversial close, this seems an odd choice. I'd consider either changing your closure note to provide more information concerning your rationale for the 'oppose' ruling, or else reverting your closure and relisting. In my own personal view, it is clear to me that the people supporting the move, despite being outnumbered (but not by a very large margin), are making much clearer policy based arguments. If no action is taken on your part to provide clarity, I might consider a move review in this case, as this closure seems wholly inadequate given this case.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  09:39, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

WP:CON.

(And as an aside, I wish you luck proving the assertion that I'm a vote counter. There is a rather lengthy edit history against that assertion...)

As for this discussion, while several asserted WP:COMMONNAME (which is what I am guessing you are asking about), that assertion did not have consensus in the discussion.

All that said, you are of course welcome to request a WP:MRV if you think there are applicable grounds. - jc37 09:54, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

@Jc37: Except there wasn't consensus. How can you say that there was? Thats why I said it 'seems' like !vote counting. What possible policy reason is there to close this as "oppose"? I can perhaps understand closing it as "no consensus" but "Oppose" seems like totally the wrong call here, especially going no reason for the decision in the closing remarks. If there was consensus, as you assert above, what was the consensus? You don't just say that the consensus was 'oppose', the consensus should be that it it is opposed for some reason. The only consensus among 'oppose' !voters seems to be that it is slang or informal, but there are clearly several editors engaged in pointing out that this is a totally inadequate reason for an oppose !vote in the first place, and in no way invalidates WP:COMMONNAME. Only a couple of the 'oppose' !votes even attempted to address WP:COMMONNAME, most simply did not address it at all.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  10:15, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Actually, the closer could say nothing at all. Opposed is a valid close, and I could show a myriad of examples. I understand y9ou don't like the close, but it doesn't make it any less valid.

And I did respond to you above: WP:CON. Those proposing/supporting the move presented an argument, and it was opposed in the discussion. This was not merely a blank WP:JUSTAVOTE as you imply.

Please feel free to re-read the discussion and the related policies. If you still feel that the close meets the requirements at WP:MRV, you're welcome to request a review there. - jc37 10:31, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

As if I'm going to be taken seriously taking a move review against an admin, I've been burnt before by taking more connected editors to mediation, and it isn't something I'd like to repeat.

Saying nothing at all is a really bad idea when it comes to controversial moves, I think that is universally agreed. I realise that you said WP:CON, and I clearly stated above that there does not seem to be consensus at all. You don't seem to be reading what I wrote above as I'm not some troll who complains when things don't go my way, I seriously just think you made the wrong call here, and I don't really feel like you are taking me seriously or listening to my concerns. If possible could you simply look at the discussion again, read my concerns, think about it for a bit and get back to me and explain in a little more detail your reasoning?  InsertCleverPhraseHere  10:50, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

You flagged the Sic Vita page for deletion. I will admit the page was short and not very concise, I was using it as a place holder until I could get home to my computer rather than use my phone. You mentioned they needed a reason to be on Wikipedia, it's because they are mentioned on the page about the Palladium in Worcester but had no page linked to their name.

October 2016

Hello Insertcleverphrasehere. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that there is consensus that we shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1) and/or content (CSD A3) moments after they are created, as you did at Dogodo Bau. It is also suggested that pages that might meet CSD A7 criteria not be tagged for deletion immediately after they are created. It's usually best to wait at least 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may drive away well-meaning contributors, which is not good for Wikipedia. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), copyright violations (G12) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes (G3) should of course be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks.

Your contributed article, 2016 Canterbury Earthquake

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, 2016 Canterbury Earthquake. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – 2016 Hanmer Springs earthquake. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at 2016 Hanmer Springs earthquake – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. David.moreno72 12:14, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations 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". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

New Page Review needs your help

Hi Insertcleverphrasehere,

As an AfC reviewer you're probably aware that a new user right has been created for patrolling new pages (you might even have been granted the right already, and admins have it automatically).

Since July there has been a very serious backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted.

Although New Page Reviewing can occasionally be somewhat more challenging than AfC, the criteria for obtaining the right are roughly the same. The Page Curation tool is even easier to use than the Helper Script, so it's likely that most AfC reviewers already have more than enough knowledge for the task of New Page Review.

It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right at WP:PERM and lend a hand. You'll need to have read the page at WP:NPR and the new tutorial.

User group: New Page Reviewr

Hello Insertcleverphrasehere.

Based on the patrols you made of new pages during a qualifying period in 2016, your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed.

New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk.

• Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
• Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
• Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:34, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

EM drive

A photon rocket is not a 'propellentless drive'. BernardZ (talk)

As a photon has no mass, so that is arguable. The comparison between the EmDrive and the photon rocket has been made many times, thus it was added to the see also section. I wanted to point this out and perhaps did not use the best wording. But in any case if you feel strongly that it should not be represented I won't revert your change again if you choose to remove it.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  03:20, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

I'll also point out that at the end of the conclusions section of the recent peer-reviewed paper it states "The 1.2 mN∕kW performance parameter is over two orders of magnitude higher than other forms of “zero-propellant” propulsion, such as light sails, laser propulsion, and photon rockets having thrust-to-power levels in the 3.33–6.67 μN∕kW (or 0.0033–0.0067 mN∕kW) range." of the three mentioned, a photon rocket is the only one that is self-contained by definition (laser propulsion often has an external laser).  InsertCleverPhraseHere  07:25, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest!

New Page Review - newsletter

Hello Insertcleverphrasehere,

Breaking the back of the backlog

We now have 803 New Page Reviewers! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog. Now it's time for action.

Mid July to 01 Oct 2016

If each reviewer does only 10 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
Let's get that over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.

Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work. Read about it at the new Monitoring the system section in the tutorial.

Hi. Thank you for reviewing new pages. There is a difference between simple patrolling, and reviewing by New Page Reviewers which is intended to lighten the work load of admins. For articles such as 中伟钢物联发展有限公司 please include the language, and take a moment to do a Google translation which will often provide you with the necessary background for possible deletion. For more information please see the tutorial. Thanks. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:11, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Sure, I usually do but wasn't sure if it was chinese or another dialect. I'll use google translate in the future to figure out what the language is and assess deletion criteria.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  05:14, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

new page review

I know this is a systemic problem I should not yell at you about, and I know we do need new page review. But since you seem to be one of the more enlightened new page reviewers I have encountered (based on a quick overview of your user page) let me just express that it is very annoying to get 97 templates stuck to the article within seconds of its creation, when the edit summary of the article says "I am off gettin some sourcing that wasn't in the French article. Just saying. The battle was notable enough to be a factor in the Italians' surrender, shrug. I am creating it to fix a red link in another article, but I'll get it at least to stub. Meanwhile if you guys over in new article review were a little less yee-haw, we'd have more new volunteers to train, because this would certainly turn me off if it were my first rodeo. Which it very much is not. Anyway, any help/suggestions on not running new well-meaning editors off would be appreciated. My own thought is that un-automating the process would do a world of good. You might have noticed it was a translation then, or that I am an experienced editor, or.... Elinruby (talk) 21:57, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Apologies, I did not see your edit summary. An 'under construction' template would probably help avoid similar issues in the future. I did do an extensive search on google scholar, books etc. which led me to the conclusion (perhaps erroneously) that it might not meet notability criteria. Sorry for missing your edit summary, just not something I usually check for (I will in the future).  InsertCleverPhraseHere  22:20, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Have you seen this?

Have you seen this[[2]]? He is still pushing his POV about Emdrive, just in a different, more belligerent way.Musashi miyamoto (talk) 02:31, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

I had not, been pretty busy with the holidays, I am glad you brought it to my attention. He should have notified me himself as he referred to me (though not by name) in his post. I responded a couple times on the page in question. From the looks of things, you should get through this fine, but I would recommend not positng anything more in the section in question, even if others comment, as it might make you seem belligerent if you do. Rather leave it to me and others to respond. AN/I can be a caustic place to get attacked, but I don't see witch hunt developing so far. You should be fine.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  22:53, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

Joseph Wells

Hallo. You just left a note on my article about Joseph Wells stating it needs more references. I deeply agree to this, however I have been searching for facts on this man since 2014 when I established the German Wikipedia Version of the article. I could not find anything more or better. It was just my thought to complete the list of the Illinois LTGs with what was available, which is in deed not much. If anyone finds more than I did, he or she is welcome to expand the article accordingly. But I thank you for overlooking the article. --WAG57 (talk) 09:02, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

It is alright, he meets the notability guideline for politicians (automatic notability), but yeah if they could be found it would be great, if not, no worries.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  09:03, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Thomas Marshall

Hallo Again. You also left me a message about Thomas Marshall. Here is the same situation as above on Joseph Wells. I established the German WP Version in January 2014 and could not find additional sources. When starting the English version I searched again but without better results. For general information: Dduring the last years I worked on many (but not all) LTGs of US-States in the German WP and I completed all of them. In most cases they were well documented and they had corresponding articles in the EN WP as well. However in several cases the english articles still do not exist. These are sometimes (like these two) cases with limited sources. I can only deliver what is available. My thought is: We better have something about these individuals than nothing at all. Of course the little information that is available must be correct an backed up by the sources. --WAG57 (talk) 09:19, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Same as before, he meets automatic notability. Good work on these articles about old politicians, very useful reading, even if the sources are sparse.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  09:22, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Problem of the Media

I'll be adding the sources, and expanding the article a bit. I know the book because I use the author extensively in my research, but it's certainly not a mainstream book; which would account for the lack of coverage outside of academia. Happy Editing! Yazan (talk) 07:28, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Excellent, good to hear. I apologize for not looking closer at academic sources before nominating it for deletion.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  07:36, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your messages on Bhaleshwor Mahadev. My first edit! Changed all the text to my own words now. Should not be any copyright infringement now! Nepalideveloper (talk) 12:55, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

No worries, sorry for the aggressive anti vandal edit on your talk page, sometimes the templates come out of the Twinkle tool a bit differently than you expect (I meant it as a general warning against copying stuff, but it came out with an aggressive anti vandal message). Anyway, your article seems good now.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  12:57, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

New Page Review - newsletter No.2

Hello Insertcleverphrasehere,

A HUGE backlog

We now have 803 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.

Hitting 17,000 soon

The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.

Second set of eyes

Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.

Abuse

This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and

1. this very recent case of paid advertising by a Reviewer resulting in a community ban.
2. this case in January of paid advertising by a Reviewer, also resulting in a community ban.
3. This Reviewer is indefinitely blocked for sockpuppetry.

Coordinator election

Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.

Voting for coordinators has now begun HERE and will continue through/to 23:59 UTC Monday 06 March. Please be sure to vote. Any registered, confirmed editor can vote. Nominations are now closed.

Still a MASSIVE backlog

We now have 803 New Page Reviewers but despite numerous appeals for help, the backlog has NOT been significantly reduced.
If you asked for the New Page Reviewer right, please consider investing a bit of time - every little helps preventing spam and trash entering the mainspace and Google when the 'NO_INDEX' tags expire.

Regarding Myanmar Bangladesh India Gas Pipeline

The article has been posted based on readily available references. The article is still referenced to reliable sources. Instead of out rightly rejecting the article can you suggest specific region where modifications are required? Once the article is up on wikipedia, more users can add more information and references which I alone may not be able to and need not do. Please provide constructive suggestions to the article, I will glad to incorporate relevant suggestions. If no constructive suggestions are given, I plan to resubmit the article. Ysp2015(talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:33, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

I'm afraid that I'm not entirely certain to what you are referring. If it was the Baatan Transit co talk page you are referring to, that article was deleted because it was improperly situated at a talk page, rather than at article space. You shouldn't have a problem recreating the article, though I would suggest using the process over at Articles for Creation, as the users over there are skilled with helping new users with articles.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  17:28, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Network of Greek Radicals

Hello Insertcleverphrasehere. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Network of Greek Radicals, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: There is sufficient context to identify the subject of the article.
