Potential misfire

I'm assuming that this was a misfire? — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 02:18, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

@Red-tailed hawk: Correct, I'm sorry. We've been dealing with a lot of one specific kind of vandalism ("Mario Thomas Barros" --> "Mario Luigi Bros") from IPs, so I instinctively reverted the edit without realizing that it was actually the reversion of the vandalism I thought the edit itself was. JJP_Master (she/they) 02:19, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Not a problem. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 02:21, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Page mover granted

Hello, JJPMaster. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Useful links:

• Wikipedia:Requested moves
• Category:Requested moves, for article renaming requests awaiting action.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! SilverLocust 💬 05:09, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from VincentWikkiCook on Masaru Emoto (06:31, 24 November 2024)

Google Scholar has many studies correcting this misinformation on Maseru Emoto work

Abstract The hypothesis that water "treated" with intention can affect ice crystals formed from that water was pilot tested under double-blind conditions. A group of approximately 2,000 people in Tokyo focused positive intentions toward water samples located inside an electromagnetically shielded room in California. That group was unaware of similar water samples set aside in a different location as controls. Ice crystals formed from both sets of water samples were blindly identified and photographed by an analyst, and the resulting images were blindly assessed for aesthetic appeal by 100 independent judges. Results indicated that crystals from the treated water were given higher scores for aesthetic appeal than those from the control water (P = .001, one-tailed), lending support to the hypothesis.

Vincent Cook --VincentWikkiCook (talk) 06:31, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! However, I do not believe that this journal, Explore, is a reliable source. Our article on it says,

Explore has been heavily criticized both for the content it publishes and the beliefs of its editorial team. Its self-description and author information explicitly includes pseudoscientific topics well outside the mainstream of medical practice. Critics have noted this willingness to publish work in areas lacking a scientific basis, and have labelled it a "quack journal" which "doesn't limit itself to just one quackery, the way [the journal] Homeopathy does", a publisher of "truly ridiculous studies", and as a "sham masquerading as a real scientific journal".

I advise that you seek consensus on Talk:Masaru Emoto before making any changes citing this source, as there are likely to be objections. JJP_Master (she/they) 06:37, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Close at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Espu Kola

Hi, is it possible to re-open this discussion? I don't think either the nomination nor the keep !votes engaged with the essential issue here, which is that this place quite possibly does not exist as an actual community. The reason being that Iran counts its census at locations called Abadi. These are simply census-taking locations, and need not correspond to actual villages/towns, and are essentially the Iranian version of census tracts (something explicitly excluded by WP:GEOLAND). Carlossuarez46 went through the 2006 Iranian census making these articles at an incredible fast rate, without bothering to check whether these places actually existed as anything more than a census-taking location. Many of them were obviously wells, pumps, farms, shops, bridges etc. based simply on their names. For example, on the day he created this article, he created at least 445 other articles also about Iranian "villages" (I say "at least" because at least 20,000 of the articles they created have since been deleted and the deleted articles won't show up in this search). FOARP (talk) 13:31, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

@FOARP: I've never reopened a deletion discussion before, and the original discussion (whether it violates GNG) has indeed been concluded. I figure that starting a new AfD, or bringing the article to DRV would be in order here. If I'm missing something here, and reopening deletion discussions is common practice, please let me know. JJP_Master (she/they) 18:14, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

This wouldn't be a DRV case because this isn't an issue with your interpretation of the consensus in the discussion itself, which was correct. Deletion discussions can definitely be re-opened simply by reverting the close and inserting the entry linking to the discussion back in to that day's log page - the closer is allowed to reverse their close if they so choose (but obviously not too long after the close). I would open a new AFD but people tend not to like opening a new AFD right after one has closed - looks like not accepting the consensus - however I can do it if you prefer. FOARP (talk) 18:26, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

@FOARP: Alright, I have undone the close. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Espu Kola. JJP_Master (she/they) 18:34, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks JJP. There's a good chance no-one will respond but it's worth giving it a shot. FOARP (talk) 20:35, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

About the IP and the gentleman's agreement

Yeah, apparently, they were on to something. CoPilot found a few articles on The Gentleman's Agreement. [1] [2] [3]

It supposedly ended in 2004, though. But hey, I learned something! CyanoTex (talk) 02:59, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

NewPage Patrol Backlog - Help!

Hi, I was really excited to see my page get approved by AfC, however it has been waiting in new-page-patrol for 11 days… there is quite a large backlog. I wonder if you’d consider approving it - or at least flagging the backlog in new-page-patrol to the right administrators. - CC ScotsOats (talk) 17:36, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

@ScotsOats:  Done. And as for the backlog, we have a drive coming up in January to deal with that. JJP_Master (she/they) 17:41, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so much! ScotsOats (talk) 17:47, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from Chendahewa (15:59, 29 November 2024)

HI I want to create a new wikipedia article. Can you guide me on this? --Chendahewa (talk) 15:59, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! I recommend reading Help:Your first article, but I'll summarize what you have to know here. Firstly, you should make sure that your article's subject is notable as Wikipedia uses that term—that is to say, if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic. You should make sure that any sources you use are reliable, so you can't use tabloids, blogs, other wikis, or Wikipedia itself, to verify the contents of your article. After you've done that, you can check out the Article wizard and follow the instructions there. JJP_Master (she/they) 16:06, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
