Casio calculators: Please review once again

You may compare the articles Casio and Casio calculators immediately, and remove the speedy deletion tag. There is no repetition or irrelevancy now, and the new article does expand upon the Casio article. I have a fairly expert knowledge of Casio products, especially calculators and shall make ready whatever references you may require. Hope to see the action soon. -Polytope4d (talk) 19:31, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

All the CSD tag means is that an administrator will look at the reason given, and delete or remove the tag, Polytope4d. Thanks, Matty.007 19:33, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
Polytope4d: I feel that separating the articles is unnecessary, the page listed the major calculator models, as opposed to simply all of them. I feel that a merger would be preferable to deletion with the article, however. Matty.007 19:39, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
I will wait and see what the reviewing admin says before doing anything. Matty.007 19:42, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
Alright. Thanks, but let more than one administrator decide. -Polytope4d (talk) 19:41, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
There are simply too many models, if not all, so please think again. -Polytope4d (talk) 19:46, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Carlton Intercontinental Hotel heist, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Automatic pistol (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

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.

A tag has been placed on Sherif francis requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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, you can place a request here. Matty.007 11:26, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

So WP:TWINKLE has sent you a CSD nomination message for a page you nominated for CSD yourself? Yeah, that happens! Pete aka --Shirt58 (talk) 11:49, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
That's... odd. Are you a tps? Matty.007 11:57, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, I'm a "TPS". I'm that kind of creepy and yucky and just eewww! But seriously, pages come up on my watchlist and I follow 'em up. I've sent myself a few CSD notices as well. Unless someone else has deleted it before me, I'm going to decline the speedy for Sherif Francis - "a well known as one of the most famous music video director in Greece primarily known for the success of his music videos. Also a recipient of a gold album as a music composer for several music hits he produced" and send it straight to WP:AfD. Peter in Australia aka --Shirt58 (talk) 12:11, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
What gets me is that the author of the page (for which I am now credited) re-created it at Sherif francis, rather that Sherif Francis. Shirt58: I have figured out why I have got these notices: I moved the page, and for some reason, when I move pages, sometimes, I get credited on my 'Pages Created' as creating the article, which I find puzzling. Matty.007 12:48, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Nomination of Sherif Francis for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Sherif Francis is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sherif Francis until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Shirt58 (talk) 12:29, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions

We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:

Views/Day
Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
Quality
Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.

The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:

Content
Is more content needed?
Headings
Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
Images
Is the number of illustrative images about right?
Links
Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
Sources
For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

Interview request: Your interactions with new editors

I'm contacting you about a study that I'm running with TheOriginalSoni exploring newcomer mentorship activities in Wikipedia. I'd like to ask you a few questions about your interactions with newcomers and to explore how a tool like WP:Snuggle might make your work easier. The interview and demo session will take 30 minutes to an hour depending on how much time we spend discussing things. If you're interested, let me know. If not, disregard this message and I won't bother you again.

Thanks for your consideration. --EpochFail (talkcontribs) 15:36, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

EpochFail: that sounds interesting, but I have a few questions:
  • What format does the interview take? IRC, talk page...
  • Does it require any more information from me other than my Wikipedia username?
  • If I have to break off the interview in mid flow, will it be possible to continue where it was left off?

Thanks, Matty.007 09:02, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Good questions. I'll ask you to use Skype or Google hangout so that we can do screen sharing and I can see what you see while you I have you try some tasks in Snuggle. VOIP usually goes with Skype or Google hangout, but if you'd prefer to only chat in text, that's OK too. I won't need your real name or anything like that. And you can break off whenever you want. I'd always be very happy to pick up wherever we left off. --EpochFail (talkcontribs) 13:31, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
I would prefer to talk via text, such as the IRC, as I don't use Skype or Google hangout. Thanks for the swift reply EpochFail, Matty.007 13:40, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Dynomitedetails, I see that this has been on several other user's talk pages, and that you have some posts to ANI. However, I think that the above comment is not related to this page, instead, it relates to the Stalking page. ANI seems like a good method of working things out, and talking to the editors, as opposed to calling them sociopaths isn't going to appeal to other editors. Nor is going behind their backs, and posting on numerous editor's talk pages. Hope this is helpful, Matty.007 13:38, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your input. I disagree that I need to change the format to add more prose. Few people know about Frederick Bee and a chronology of events is a simple way for readers to learn about Frederick Bee. A chronology allows readers easily to find topics and add information. I do not know the motivation of Frederick Bee. For example, did Mr. Bee move from Placerville to the Bay Area because his son was studying in Oakland? If I write in a prose format, I would need to assume reasons for his actions to make the prose flow smoothly. Wikipedia lacks specific dates. I could have written that Albert W. Bee's daughters died before the age of two. Adding the specific dates of birth and death has a greater impact to the reader. MC Potbelly (talk) 14:47, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

I felt that the text was disjointed, and listing all his immediate family member's life dates is (in my opinion) unneccisary. Also, some of the text has no clear meaning, to me as someone who knows little about roads, saying "Frederick Bee and Mr. Brockliss graded the road, Slippery Hill, in July, 1857" doesn't mean anything, and doesn't tell me why it is important.
Having a new paragraph for each sentence in places is something which I haven't seen, and I don't think it is the norm, so saying "The subsidy was denied" in a new paragraph is unneeded. Quotation marks were needed around the poem, which I have fixed. All in all, there are, in a simple skim of the article, several issues, which is why I added the tag to the article; to draw the attention of other editors that the prose needed a little work. Other than that, I think it has the makings of an interesting article. Thanks, Matty.007 14:58, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
Also, there is no need (that I can see) for links in the section headings, per the manual of style. Thanks, Matty.007 15:03, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
  1. I fixed the sentence about Slippery Hill.
  2. I fixed the subsidy sentence.
  3. I removed the links from section headings.

MC Potbelly (talk) 20:12, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

And I thank you for that, and for adding an infobox. However, those were issues which I picked up on by skim reading the article, there is still the issue of having a new line for one sentence, which persists in all but the last section. That will need some serious work, but it will be a better article for it. Thanks, Matty.007 15:01, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Did you add the note that the article does not meet the notability guidelines?

No, you can tell by clicking 'View History', then looking at the edit summaries that Theroadislong added the tag to the article. Matty.007 17:10, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

I moved things around. I changed it to a prose format. I explained why Fred Bee is notable. Will you remove the two tags?

Please sign posts with four tildes, ~~~~. I would post here and ask the editor who added it, to get their opinion. Matty.007 19:13, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions

We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:

Views/Day
Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
Quality
Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.

The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:

Content
Is more content needed?
Headings
Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
Images
Is the number of illustrative images about right?
Links
Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
Sources
For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 23:28, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Help

Hi! Thank you for letting me know what i need to work on; I (as you can most likely see) just started to try my hand at editing. What exactly do you mean by sections? Is that the ===word=== command? I get kind of spacey reading long articles, so I figured it would be best just to ask you directly.

Thanks! LiluMultipass (talk) 19:29, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

I didn't say anything about sections, I just said that it didn't have any categories (I generally forget to add categories). Incidentally, would you mind if I nominated it for DYK, which would lead to the article appearing on the main page (hopefully)? Thanks, Matty.007 19:31, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

That's totally fine with me! LiluMultipass (talk) 19:35, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks

You can definitely nominate it, thanks! (Sorry if this appears more than once, I'm trying to figure out how to property reply to people)

LiluMultipass (talk) 19:38, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

You did post twice, but that's OK. If you want help, I would ask at the Teahouse, or on Internet Relay Chat (or ask here, and I'll reply tomorrow). I will put a link to the DYK nomination on your talk page when I have done it, thanks, Matty.007 19:49, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
