Whatever might have been said by someone at some point in time somewhere needs to be actually provided before you add the content back into the article. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:49, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

it is sad that you think such basic content policies as WP:V and WP:OR are wikipoliticsm. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:00, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

No, I only disagreed with one of your removals of the list that you could have easily sourced yourself, that is an essential component of WP:V and you perfectly know that. I probably would support deletion of the list as OR, but next time check for sources before you remove information that always been undisputed by reliable sources.

Any time you need help, just ask

Secret, I saw your recent talk page comments about voluntarily surrendering the mop because of your academic obligations. That may be a smart move, and I respect you for prioritizing the truly important things in your life. Wikipedia should be a hobby, not a career choice. As you work on your grades and get ready for applying to grad school or professional school, please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. I have attended three graduate programs at two different Florida universities, and I am familiar with the application process at a dozen or more in other states, including the GRE, GMAT and LSAT. If you feel like you need advice, or just want to vent about the process, please feel free to ping me off-wiki by email. Best regards, Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 18:15, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks!

For starting the Mary Thom article! (I expanded on your work). SarahStierch (talk) 17:16, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

No problem, I left it as a stub because I knew she was highly notable, but I wasn't familiar with the subject area. Thanks for the expansion! Secret ^account 17:22, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

COI

Hello Secret! Feel free to ignore any feelings of COI that you may have at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Paulmcdonald. I think it's safe to say that any comments you have about me or my history will be made in good faith and in the best interest of Wikipedia.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:07, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Question

Would it be possible for me to see what the deleted article for Susannah Mushatt Jones looked like? I might try my hand at re-creating it. Seems to be GNG-like coverage out there, and I noticed at least one !vote just focused on what coverage was in the article itself. Thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 02:31, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

WikiCup 2013 April newsletter

We are a week into Round 3, but it is off to a flying start, with Sven Manguard (submissions) claiming for the high-importance Portal:Sports and Portal:Geography (which are the first portals ever awarded bonus points in the WikiCup) and Cwmhiraeth (submissions) claiming for a did you know of sea, the highest scoring individual did you know article ever submitted for the WikiCup. Round 2 saw very impressive scores at close; first place Casliber (submissions) and second place Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) both scored over 1000 points; a feat not seen in Round 2 since 2010. This, in part, has been made possible by the change in the bonus points rules, but is also testament to the quality of the competition this year. Pool C and Pool G were most competitive, with three quarters of participants making it to Round 3, while Pool D was the least, with only the top two scorers making it through. The lowest qualifying score was 123, significantly higher than last year's 65, 2011's 41 or even 2010's 100.

The next issue of The Signpost is due to include a brief update on the current WikiCup, comparing it to previous years' competitions. This may be of interest to current WikiCup followers, and may help bring some more new faces into the community. We would also like to note that this round includes an extra competitor to the 32 advertised, who has been added to a random pool. This extra inclusion seems to have been the fairest way to deal with a small mistake made before the beginning of this round, but should not affect the competition in a large way. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please feel free to contact one of the judges.

A rules clarification: content promoted between rounds can be claimed in the round after the break, but not the round before. The case in point is content promoted on 29/30 April, which may be claimed in this round. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hi Secret - I was just made aware that you deleted our page, The Underwear Expert, because there weren't enough references. I never received an email from Wikipedia so I am just finding this out now. We have many references and I was hoping you would reverse your decision. Below are a few references.

WikiProject Good Articles Recruitment Centre

Hello! Now, some of you might have already received a similar message a little while ago regarding the Recruitment Centre, so if you have, there is no need to read the rest of this. This message is directed to users who have reviewed over 15 Good article nominations and are not part of WikiProject Good articles (the first message I sent out went to only WikiProject members).

So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:

Recruiters: The main task of a recruiter is to teach users that have never reviewed a Good article nomination how to review one. To become a recruiter, all you have to do is meet this criteria. If we don't get at least 5-10 recruiters to start off with (at the time this message was sent out, 2 recruiters have volunteered), the Recruitment Centre will not open. If interested, make sure you meet the criteria, read the process and add your name to the list of recruiters. (One of the great things about being a recruiter is that there is no set requirement of what must be taught and when. Instead, all the content found in the process section is a guideline of the main points that should be addressed during a recruitment session...you can also take an entire different approach if you wish!) If you think you will not have the time to recruit any users at this time but are still interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still add your name to the list of recruiters but just fill in the "Status" parameter with "Not Available".

Co-Director: The current Director for the centre is me (Dom497). Another user that would be willing to help with some of the tasks would be helpful. Tasks include making sure recruiters are doing what they should be (teaching!), making sure all recruitments are archived correctly, updating pages as needed, answering any questions, and distributing the feedback form. If interested, please contact me (Dom497).

Nominators, please read this: If you are not interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still help. In some cases a nominator may have an issue with an "inexperienced" editor (the recruitee) reviewing one of their nominations. To minimize the chances of this happening, if you are fine with a recruitee reviewing one of your nominations under the supervision of the recruiter, please add your name to the list at the bottom of this page. By adding your name to this list, chances are that your nomination will be reviewed more quickly as the recruitee will be asked to choose a nomination from the list of nominators that are OK with them reviewing the article.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along.

A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.--Dom497 (talk)

Parikipandla Narahari: Deletion review step 1

This is regarding deletion of Parikipandla Narahari

My comments in support of keep were:

For being called by Tehelka as "Gwalior's game changer" and amongst one of India's few civil servants who are using websites like Twitter and Facebook to interact with citizenry to solve their problems, taking cognizance of these efforts Internet and Mobile Association of India has awarded him for the same. (comment made on 13:19, 18 June 2013 (UTC))
For being called by Hindustan Times a hero of sorts (comment made on 17:34, 20 June 2013 (UTC))
The reply was "An author of non-notable books who has received three non-notable awards, two of which are sourced (along with most of the rest of the article) to what seem likely to be self-written biographies hosted on government websites. (comment made on 14:04, 18 June 2013 (UTC))
Your ( User:Secret's) closing comments were: "...Yogesh Khandke comment about the sourcing is rebutted successfully."
I don't understand how you judge successful rebuttal. Could you explain please?.
1. Neither Hindustan Times nor Tehelka are related to the subject.
2. By what yardstick is the CRISIL award to be a non-notable one?
3. The rebutting comment was made before the second evidence posted.
Would it possible for you to make a copy of the deleted article available to me please, perhaps paste it into my sandbox.

WikiCup 2013 June newsletter

We are down to our final 16: the 2013 semi-finals are upon us. A score of 321 was required to survive round 3, further cementing this as the most competitive WikiCup yet; round 3 was survived in 2012 with 243 points, in 2011 with 76 points and in 2010 with 250 points. The change may in part be to do with the fact that more articles are now awarded bonus points, in addition to more competitive play. Reaching the final has, in the past, required 573 points (2012, a 135% increase on the score needed to reach round 4), 150 points (2011, a 97% increase) and 417 points (2010, a 72% increase). This round has seen over a third of participants claiming points for featured articles (with seven users claiming for multiple featured articles) and most users have also gained bonus points. However, the majority of points continue to come from good articles, followed by did you know articles. In this round, every content type was utilised by at least one user, proving that the WikiCup brings together content contributors from all corners of the project.

Round 3 saw a number of contributions of note. Figureskatingfan (submissions) claimed the first featured topic points in this year's competition for her excellent work on topics related to Maya Angelou, the noted American author and poet. We have also continued to see high-importance articles improved as part of the competition: Ealdgyth (submissions) was awarded a thoroughly well-earned 560 points for her featured article Middle Ages and 102 points for her good article Battle of Hastings. Good articles James Chadwick and Stanislaw Ulam netted Hawkeye7 (submissions) 102 and 72 points respectively, while 72 points were awarded to Piotrus (submissions) for each of Władysław Sikorski and Emilia Plater, both recently promoted to good article status. Collaborative efforts between WikiCup participants have continued, with, for example, Casliber (submissions) and Sasata (submissions) being awarded 180 points each for their featured article on Boletus luridus.

A rules reminder: content promoted between rounds can be claimed in the round after the break, but not the round before. The case in point is content promoted on the 29/30 June, which may be claimed in this round. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. We are currently seeing concern about the amount of time people have to wait for reviews, especially at GAC- if you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!
