User:Rosguill/Kamilalibhat NPPSCHOOL

Hello, welcome to your New Page Patrol School page! Please make sure you have this page added to your watchlist. Your NPP School page has been specifically designed according to you and what you have requested instruction in - for that reason, please be as specific as possible when under my instruction, so that I know the best ways to help you (and do not be afraid to let me know if you think something isn't working).

Make sure you read through Wikipedia:Notability as that's the knowledge which most of the questions I ask you and tasks you do will revolve around.

How to use this page

This page will be built up over your time in the School, with new sections being added as you complete old ones. Each section will end with a task, written in bold type - this might just ask a question, or it might require you to go and do something. You can answer a question by typing the answer below the task; if you have to do something, you will need to provide diffs to demonstrate that you have completed the task. Some sections will have more than one task, sometimes additional tasks may be added to a section as you complete them. Please always sign your responses to tasks as you would on a talk page.

If both the instructor and student make completing the course curriculum a top priority, it will generally take around a month to go through the entirety of the curriculum. This pace is not required or necessarily expected, but rather is provided in order to give participants an idea of what to expect. It can also be worth stressing early on NPP's focus on "quality not quantity" so there should not be a rush to complete assignments.

Notability

PART 1

Questions

Question 1

In your own words, how is notability defined on Wikipedia?

Notability may be defined as the criteria that judges whether an topic has enough coverage of reliable resources to merit it's own article on Wikipedia. If the topic has enough coverage of resources like books, journals, newspapers, etc, the topic is said to be notable. Kammil ⟨talk⟩ 05:43, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Y

Question 2

Would step by step instructions on "How to change a car tire" be considered a notable topic in Wikipedia? Why or why not?

No it will not be considered a notable topic on Wikipedia because Wikipedia is not a manual or guidebook. Kammil ⟨talk⟩ 05:56, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Y

Question 3

What are the differences between the WP:GNG and the subject-specific notability guidelines? How do we determine which one to use when patrolling an article?

Subject specific notability guidelines include verifiable criteria about the specific topics such as people, etc. Where as general notability guidelines are the criteria about general topics. Kammil ⟨talk⟩ 08:45, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

So, say you're reviewing a biography. How would you apply notability guidelines? _signed, Rosguill ^talk 17:11, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

I will use both GNG and WP:Notability (people) while reviewing the biography. –Kamilalibhat ⟨talk⟩ 18:15, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello Rosguill, I had a question. I used to ping Pahunkat when I completed my task and he marked then and set up new task. Should I do same here? Cheers, Kammil ⟨talk⟩ 11:35, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Kamilalibhat, no need to ping me, I keep a fairly close eye on my watchlist. If more than a few days go by without me responding then do please ping me, however. Do you want me to ping you? _signed, Rosguill ^talk 17:11, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Rosguill, yes you may! –Kamilalibhat ⟨talk⟩ 17:13, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Kamilalibhat, next section below. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 19:35, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Subject-specific notability guidelines

1. Please categorize the subject-specific notability guidelines (listed at Category:Wikipedia notability guidelines) into the following three categories

Primarily additional criteria that are likely to indicate notability

• people Y
• sports Y
• web Y
• academics Y
• books Y
• geographic features Y
• astronomical objects Y

Primarily additional considerations that define or restrict the nature of coverage or sources required

• organisations and companies Y
• events Y

Even mix of the previous two categories

• music Y
• films Y
• numbers Y

2. Virtually all SNGs that provide additional notability criteria specify that these criteria may indicate that the subject meets notability guidelines. How would you interpret this caveat as a new page reviewer?

If I will be reviewing an article as a new page reviewer I will make sure that the subject meets both GNG and SNG. All the articles should meet GNG. I will not accept those which doesn't meet both or any one of them. SNG's are the additional criteria to determine whether a specific subject is notable or not. Moving to GNG's, they apply to every article even to any specific SNG criteria whether it is biography, organisation or something else. –Kammill ⟨talk⟩ 17:59, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

N, while your application of GNG is correct, your application of SNGs is a little off. While the exact role of SNGs is a bit controversial right now, the best way to approach them as part of NPP is to treat them as an alternative signal of notability. With the exception of the few SNGs that add specific restrictions to the nature of coverage, subjects are not required to meet a relevant SNG if they clearly meet GNG. For SNGs with subjective criteria (e.g. WP:NACTOR's requirement of "multiple significant roles in notable works"), you should treat the criteria as a signal of notability to be taken into account alongside the available sourcing (e.g., if an actor almost meets GNG and has a weak case for meeting NACTOR, you'd be justified in accepting the article; if the same claim to NACTOR appeared alongside very weak sources, you should proceed to AfD). Finally, if an article meets an SNG, but sourcing is almost nonexistent and other reasons to doubt notability exist, you can consider nominating an article for deletion (e.g. a 2010s single charts low on an obscure Billboard chart such as Ambient, without any other available coverage online) _signed, Rosguill ^talk 19:14, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Rosguill, hello. Two days have passed since I submitted my tasks and you haven't marked them yet. I'm waiting for my next tasks. –Kammill ⟨talk⟩ 15:11, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Scenarios

For scenarios 1-6 review just based on "subject notability guidelines" (SNG) "alone" for sake of the exercise. Do not consider any sources or other policies. Please answer if the subject meets the SNG guidelines based on the given content below, and specify which notability criteria they meet or fail.

Scenario 1

An editor creates an article about "2024 Summer Olympics" in 2020 without providing any sources

Addition of sources would be better. The topic is notable.

Y, what if someone creates 2036 Summer Olympics? _signed, Rosguill ^talk 16:28, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Rosguill, if the sources exist, then it good. Otherwise delete it and make it a redirect. --Hulged ⟨talk⟩ 16:48, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Y, although note that converting something to a redirect is not considered deletion, as the content can be restored by any editor using the undo button. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 16:51, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Rosguill, once again sorry for my late response. I have completed the tasks. Regards, Hulged ⟨talk⟩ 17:43, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Sources

Background for trainees

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. As such, claims made in articles should be supported by independent (secondary), reliable sources for verification. Please read WP:RS, WP:IS, WP:RSP, WP:V, WP:PROVEIT, WP:Primary, WP:Secondary, and WP:Tertiary. WP:NPPSG may be a useful reference for looking up the reliability of a source that has been discussed before on Wikipedia.

You can contact WP:RX if you could not find the sources yourself either on the web due to paywalls or offline-only sources.

Exercises

1.

Topic	Definition	5 Examples	Comment by Trainer

User generated sources	Sources published by the author itself.	Twitter Facebook Instagram personal website personal blog	Y, although blogs and websites by verified by experts can be reliable
Non Independent source	Sources published by someone close to the subject.	an autobiography personal website interview records comments by someone close book written by a close person	Y

2.

Type	Definition	Examples (15 Primary ; 5 Secondary ; 5 Tertiary)	Comment by Trainer

Tertiary	those sources which are based on secondary and primary sources.	(example) encyclopedias Encyclopaedia Britannica Encyclopaedia Iranica Wikipedia, but it is not a reliable source and can't be used on WP articles as a source The Hustle	Y, I'm not familiar with The Hustle, and at a glance it looks like a web news website, which would typically be mostly secondary coverage.

Fallingwater, Mill Run, Pennsylvania (1937)

Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect, interior designer, writer, and educator. Wright believed in designing structures that were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. His creative period spanned more than 70 years. He works includes The Guggenheim, swirling, snail-shaped museum in the middle of Manhattan. Fallingwater, which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture." This is one of Wright's most famous private residences (completed 1937), was built for Mr. and Mrs. Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., at Mill Run, Pennsylvania. Constructed over a 30-foot waterfall, it was designed according to Wright's desire to place the occupants close to the natural surroundings. The house was intended to be more of a family getaway, rather than a live-in home.
