Requested edits

Hello. I appreciate your efforts to go through the requested edit backlog. One of the main reasons that these haven't been done already is that the sources supporting these changes need to be verified first, and some of them may not be usable. Please read about identifying reliable sources. Medical articles in particular are held to higher standards, per WP:MEDRS. When adding content, it's important to make sure that it is really supported by reliable sources, and that those sources are verifiable. You may find Help:Referencing for beginners helpful. Thanks.

Red5 Pro

Thanks Joel, do you have recommendations on improving the content or citations? I'm new on Wikipedia but anxious to contribute. I took all the tutorial classes as well. Ryanckulp (talk) 20:11, 16 December 2015 (UTC) Right now the article is what we call a stub, which is a very short article. Add more information and you will have a good article or at least a passable one. Also, the citations are an integral part of a wiki article and are required unless you want the article to be flagged for being in referenced or even being marked for deletion due to a copyright infringement.

Dear Joel Thank you for giving this new article the once over. You left me this message: "Necessary edits made correctly". Could you please tell me what it means? Best wishes, DavidAHull (talk) 14:24, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Chikkanna Government Arts College)

Information icon Hello Joel.Miles925. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that you shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1), content (CSD A3), or significance (CSD A7) moments after they are created, as you did at Chikkanna Government Arts College). It's 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.. That the page was expressly ineligible for A3 compounds your error. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 15:56, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. That was very much my error.Joel.Miles925 (talk) 16:03, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Twinkle

Hello! I'm CatcherStorm. I notice you've been tagging articles for speedy deletion, and I want to let you know that your contributions are appreciated. Once you have been autoconfirmed, meaning you have had your account for 4+ days with at least 10 edits made, you can begin using a fantastic tool that will make your tagging far easier. When you have met the requirements for autoconfirmed, if you haven't already, see WP:TW to get started. Have fun! CatcherStorm talk 09:54, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

Thank you! I believe I meet those requirements and have been using the tool. I don't know the exact name, but is it the sidebar that allows you to tag articles (without typing in G10 codes and the like) by selecting them?Joel.Miles925 (talk) 20:25, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Mr. Bronsplein

Hi, thank you for the review, in my opinion it is definitely notable, especially in terms of history and culture in the Sport. This is where a lot of football culture was born. Five national championships were won by active tenants of this venue, and it is the place where many of the biggest names in both Surinamese and Dutch football got their start. In terms of national history, and sports culture the Mr. Bronsplein is a cornerstone in Suriname. Thank you for reviewing it. (Subzzee (talk) 20:37, 21 December 2015 (UTC))

I see. If I thought notability was a big problem, I would have marked it for speedy deletion. For a new article, it is actually pretty long and would definitely be helpful to someone who wants to know abut the subject.Joel.Miles925 (talk) 20:40, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Moneyfellows

Dear, I received a notice just after publishing the first elements about Moneyfellows, a Fintech company from London. I wanted to create a page about the company after seeing them last month at Startup Bootcamp. I think they deserve a factual, not promotional, presentation on Wikipedia, in the same way Mind Candy or other startups are factually presented. I made sure to document the presentation with valid sources. Could you tell me what else would be needed for you to remove your speedy deletion tag? Thanks in advance for your reply, Frédérick. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Webringmaster (talk • contribs) 14:36, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Why did you think my post was unconstructive?

Hyperacusis seriously understates how it can affect our lives. I raised the issue on the talk page, and tried to describe my symptoms and tried to explain them in terms neurotypicals might understand. What wasn't constructive? 108.45.79.25 (talk) 23:27, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

I'm vandalizing?

Hello. I seen that you have posted a warning to my talk page to stop 'vandalizing' Wikipedia. Feel free to go through my contribution history, and see how 'vandalizing' I have done. Also, please remember to sign your posts with four tidles (~). Cheers. 2602:304:CDC0:D470:C80B:C94C:9AB5:6FA9 (talk) 22:13, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

I did check your contribution history, and while I do not wish to get into an argument, you have triggered multiple edit filters in the past. So, I was right. And please note my "tidles", as you put it.Joel.Miles925 (talk) 22:20, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

I'm also keen on avoiding an argument here, but let me clarify something. I can understand triggering the tags, or edit filters, but I suggest you go through to diffs, or the edits, before leaving vandalism warnings on talk pages. As you can see my my contribution history, I have been reversing vandalism for the last hour. Also, thank you for signing your posts. 2602:304:CDC0:D470:C80B:C94C:9AB5:6FA9 (talk) 22:23, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

I apologize, I do not know why the anti-vandalism robot marked multiple contributions of yours as vandalism, but when I saw you had tripped filters in the past, of course I assumed you were a vandal. I also apologize for the long winded response.Joel.Miles925 (talk) 22:31, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Planning to keep editing Prisoner (TV series)?

You signed up at Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests to copy-edit Prisoner (TV series). When editors haven't edited an article for at least a week, we check in with them to see if they are planning to continue or whether someone else should take over. We do this in order to provide a timely response to our requesters. What are your plans? Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:46, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thetorchonline

Thetorchonline is tagged for speedy deletion. Why do you think we need to open a deletion discussion about it? —C.Fred (talk) 15:09, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

There isn't any content and it looks like a talk page entry. It's simply a person stating they think there shouldn't be a page about it by creating a new article. Joel.Miles925 (talk) 15:10, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

That's my point: there isn't any content. That means it's eligible for speedy deletion under WP:CSD#A3. We don't need to open AfD discussion for a speedy deletion. —C.Fred (talk) 15:12, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

I didn't intend on opening an AfD discussion, I marked it as an AfD article because I didn't think it fit the "no content" policy. I assumed that somebody had meant to enter it on a talk page and mistakenly created a new article. Joel.Miles925 (talk) 15:16, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

When you marked it as AfD, you did open discussion. AfD is a process that includes, usually, a week of discussion on whether the article should be retained or deleted. —C.Fred (talk) 15:17, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Got it. My mistake. What can I do to mark it for speedy deletion, or can I now that i've already been an idiot and marked it for an AfD discussion? Joel.Miles925 (talk) 15:19, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

It had already been marked for speedy deletion. I had marked it as a courtesy to the creator to see if he wanted to expand, explain, or give a clue on where to move the discussion. With no feedback from the creator, I've deleted the article and closed the AfD. —C.Fred (talk) 15:20, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for fixing my stupidity. Over and out! Joel.Miles925 (talk) 15:22, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

My page on Cocompact Embeddings

Could you kindly revise your criticisms? 1. The page is no longer orphaned. 2. Are citations in the article not inline citations? What are they, and what is in the definition of inline citation that I do not meet? 3. On technical character. This is a math article, and a great deal of math articles in Wikipedia are accessible only for people with 2. 3 or 4 years of college education. In what sense it is more technical than this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subbase  ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CyrilTintarev (talk • contribs) 16:45, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for fixing the article. However, an encyclopedia is intended to be accessible to everyone, and by wikipedia policy the articles (even ones on technical subjects) have to be made so we all can read them. I will delete the inline citation tag and the orphan tag, however I do not yet see any change that warrants the removal of the "too technical" tag. Joel.Miles925 (talk) 20:31, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Reseller Ratings DRN

Sorry. I'm kind of new at this! Joel.Miles925 (talk) 15:14, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

This should not have been closed yet. Techimo went and edited the article despite being instructed not to by Joel. The article reads even more like company PR now than it did previously. What am I supposed to do now? ZeroShadows (talk) 23:10, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

If he persists, report him on the edit warring noticeboard to the administrators. Joel.Miles925 (talk) 13:48, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

FYI. I was one of the first people to point out the ongoing edit war of the ResellerRatings page in 2014. Claimed POV issues aside, given the edits involved, it appears "ZeroShadows" is the same person for which the discussed page was previously protected. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/71.235.154.73 72.185.9.251 (talk) 16:37, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Joel, I'm the current coordinator over at DRN and one of its founders. Thank you for choosing to help there. I've noted your edit history and see that you're a relative newcomer. DRN requires a great deal of knowledge and experience about Wikipedia policy and customs and it can be very difficult for a newcomer to be effective there. Simply offering opinions about what you think is best in a dispute generally will not work well. (That's not to say that opinion-giving is not permitted, but for it to be effective it is usually best limited to those situations where there is only one indisputably correct outcome set by policy or where it's needed to move along a mediation which has become stuck after extensive discussion at the DRN page.) Let me strongly recommend that you spend some time at Third Opinion giving opinions there, making sure that as much as possible they are based in policy and clearly citing (and preferably quoting) the parts of policy on which you rely. Once you've got 20-30 of those under your belt, you'll probably be ready to come back to DRN. (And please don't consider that to being sent to the minor leagues: I started at 3O and still give opinions there in addition to working at DRN and being a member of the Mediation Committee.) In the Reseller Ratings case, the case has been reopened with a new volunteer. If you wish to contest being replaced, you may do so at the DRN talk page, but I'd strongly recommend that you read the comments made at the talk page before doing so. Best regards and thanks again for your interest in dispute resolution, TransporterMan (TALK) 04:09, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

I see what you are saying and would be glad to move to 3rd opinion for a while. I think I probably botched my DRN case anyway, so it is probably for the better. And as a matter of fact, what I did with reseller ratings was probably a lot like simply giving a third opinion and too simple for the case. Thank you for the advice.

Request for comment: Lead sentence for train or railway stations

Please don't do that

There's no need to warn someone that you didn't revert[1]. It's not that big of a deal, I'd just prefer if it you please didn't do that. Thanks. Boomer VialHolla

I thought he had already been reverted as he had tripped an edit filter. Joel.Miles925 (talk) 21:58, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Nah, I used my 'rollback' privilege to revert the edit. Doing so will automatically bring you to the user's talk page if the revert was successful. Boomer VialHolla 22:09, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

OK. I'm glad to be of help, even if I wasn't in this instance... Joel.Miles925 (talk) 22:11, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Well, no you missed the point. I'm asking you to please not warn editors whose edits you have not undone/reverted. Also, you must sign all posts. Please read WP:SIGN. Boomer VialHolla 22:12, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Kooga Rugby Page Help

I would first like to state I am new to Wikipedia and apologise if I have not followed guidelines. I have recently put up a Wikipedia page for a Kooga Rugby. I have now received an email this morning receiving a ‘Speedy Deletion Nomination’ - I have attached a screenshot to show the thread. I am by no means trying to advertise anything at all.

I am eager to find a solution to this and would happily take advice on how to resolve this problem and I am happy to remove the text that is the problem - if this matter could be looked into.

I have attached the information I had placed on the page below and was hoping someone could highlight what information 'unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service’


{{Infobox company | name = Kooga Rugby | logo = | caption = | type = Private | traded_as = | genre = | fate = | predecessor = | successor = | foundation = 1997 | founder = | defunct = | location_city = Rochdale | location_country = | location = | locations = | area_served = | key_people = | industry = Sportswear | products = Sportswear | services = | revenue = | operating_income = | net_income = | aum = | assets = | equity = | owner = | num_employees = | parent = | divisions = | subsid =


Kooga Rugby Limited was established in 1997 in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England. In July 2009 the brand was purchased by JD Sports plc who help to provide the financial backing to develop the brand and ensure Kooga provides top quality product for it’s retail partners and Professional Clubs. In February 2014, Kooga relocated the main head office to Cheadle Hulme, Cheshire.

The product range has been developed to fulfil all the needs of a modern athlete and supporter from training and match play equipment and clothing to a lifestyle range as well as an extremely successful boot range. The emphasis has always been on design excellence, performance, durability and innovation.

Today Kooga is recognised as one of the few remaining authentic rugby brands in the market place. Our current sponsorship agreements include Leicester Tigers The Scarlets, Worcester Warriors, Yorkshire Carnegie and The Uruguay National Team in Rugby Union. In Rugby League Kooga sponsor the famous Huddersfield Giants.

Previous sponsorships include the Wallabies, Fiji, Canada, USA plus Harlequins, London Irish, The Ospreys, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Northamption Saints and Newcastle Falcons.

In 2012, Kooga launched 2 additional product streams to its portfolio. We now offer a bespoke kit option with new short lead times and innovative designs. In addition we also offer a fashion based leisure range.

Reference errors on 15 March

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:22, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

You messaged me to tell me you undid my edit on the "Hunter Pence" page.

Somebody put a joke on the page so they could post about it on Reddit and I removed the joke. So you message me to tell me you undid my removal of it. I deleted a sentence saying "Hunter Pence is also known as Buster Posey's good friend." That sentence is currently not on the page, so do you want to maybe talk about why you felt removing a joke was not constructive?

DRN help needed and volunteer roll call

You are receiving this message because you have listed yourself on the list of volunteers at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/Volunteering#List of the DRN volunteers.

First, assistance is needed at DRN. We have recently closed a number of cases without any services being provided for lack of a volunteer willing to take the case. There are at least three cases awaiting a volunteer at this moment. Please consider taking one.

Second, this is a volunteer roll call. If you remain interested in helping at DRN and are willing to actively do so by taking at least one case (and seeing it through) or helping with administrative matters at least once per calendar month, please add your name to this roll call list. Individuals currently on the principal volunteer list who do not add their name on the roll call list will be removed from the principal volunteer list after June 30, 2016 unless the DRN Coordinator chooses to retain their name for the best interest of DRN or the encyclopedia. Individuals whose names are removed after June 30, 2016, should feel free to re-add their names to the principal volunteer list, but are respectfully requested not to do so unless they are willing to take part at DRN at least one time per month as noted above. No one is going to be monitoring to see if you live up to that commitment, but we respectfully ask that you either live up to it or remove your name from the principal volunteer list.

Best regards, TransporterMan (talk · contribs) (Current DRN coordinator) (Not watching this page) Sent via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:05, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi Joel.Miles925. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Widr (talk) 13:27, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Hrvoje Relota

Hi. I noticed the tag you added to my Hrvoje Relota article. According to Wikipedia's rules of notability pertaining to association football: "Association football (soccer) figures are presumed notable if they meet the following: (...)Players who have played, and managers who have managed in a fully professional league, will generally be regarded as notable. See a list of fully professional leagues kept by WikiProject Football."

As Hrvoje has played in a fully professional league (Prva HNL), for which references were given on his page, he is therefore considered notable and the tag was unnecessary, and I would kindly ask you to remove it.

Thanks in advance, Zlopseto (talk) 13:18, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

You can make that case, but elsewhere notability guidelines state that a player must have played in a top-flight league. (WP:Notability-sports) So, while I won't remove the tag, I appreciate the feedback. Joel.Miles925 (talk) 13:21, 16 May 2016 (UTC)


"but elsewhere notability guidelines state that a player must have played in a top-flight league"

Er, Prva HNL, where HNK Hajduk Split plays and where Hrvoje Relota made his debut recently is Croatia's top flight league. :/

My interpretation of "top-flight league" was that the league is one of the world's top leagues (such as the Serie A, BPL, or Bundesliga) and not that it just happens to be that country's first league. For instance, would you consider the indian first league (the I-league) to be a top-flight league? Joel.Miles925 (talk) 13:43, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Here you go: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/the-top-flight - especially looking at the example. No room left for any other interpretation. Within football, it concerns only the highest tier leagues of a national league system. The only interpretation I've ever heard of or seen myself. The "quality" interpretation would almost certainly be based on subjective opinions. Also, I've only seen a list that lists professional leagues on Wikipedia among the guidelines - linked to the guidelines specifically talking about issues like this one, made just for this reason. I have never seen a list that lists "the best" leagues which would be a necessity for your interpretation. And yes, I would indeed consider I-league a top-flight league as it's the top league within the Indian league system. A cursory glance at I-League club entries reveals that a large majority of their players do indeed have their articles, which would imply that either everyone else was doing things wrong and interpreting that term wrong, or that your interpretation is wrong. Which is completely OK, we all make mistakes from time to time. :) Zlopseto (talk) 12:47, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

My apologies, I suppose. While this whole thing doesn't change my opinion, I suppose if that's the way it's seen by wikipedia (and the dictionary) then that is the way it should stay. Joel.Miles925 (talk) 13:41, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

No problems and completely understood. The world would be a very different place if everyone agreed on everything, and I'm quite sure that there are very few people who fully agree with and like all of Wiki's rules and regulations. :) Cheers! Zlopseto (talk) 21:00, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello - I removed some promotional content from the article in regards to the tag you placed. Please let me know if there is any additional information you think is subjective, and I will gladly work to improve the article. It is a work in progress! Thank you! Comatmebro User talk:Comatmebro 13:25, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you! I'll go back and review it. Joel.Miles925 (talk) 13:26, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

That text was actually just what I was talking about. Thank you for contributing! Joel.Miles925 (talk) 13:29, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

vandalism

How was that edit vandalism? --Moogy9282 (talk) 15:52, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

That article was non-significant, was a stub and (I checked) was as far as I can tell a hoax. So, while it may be harsh to call it vandalism, that was a dubious article creation. Joel.Miles925 (talk) 15:55, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

No hoax Joel he is a DJ and has gotten many views on Youtube and Soundcloud. --Moogy9282 (talk) 15:56, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

How do you review so fast?

Hello, fellow reviewer. I was reviewing pages on Special:PendingChanges and suddenly the list got short real fast, so I went to Special:AdvancedReviewLog to see what was going on, and saw you working fast. I took a look at your review of List of Running Man episodes (changes reviewed), which has 10 intermediate revisions by 4 users not shown, and you completed the review at 14:42, after completing your previous review at 14:41. How did you determine in less than two minutes that this was all correct? Is it that you already know this subject, or did you actually check references? —Anomalocaris (talk) 15:07, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

WP:UAA

Hello Joel, and thank you for your contributions. However, I have removed two of your reports as non-actionable. First, Derpypork, which you said was also derpyprk--that's not really a matter for UAA, and at any rate neither account had made any edits. Second, Mkloess--that may be obviously the soccer player to you, but not to me, and since their edits were to an Alabama article I find it very unlikely. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 16:09, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

  • Also, Theloudesthouse is a username violation, but it's hardly promotional. And Vapeurextract isn't offensive, promoting drug use or something like that--it's just a a spam name. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 16:56, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you. I will certainly be more selective in the future. Over and out! Joel.Miles925 (talk) 22:15, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Why was my page deleted?

I made a page on the long distance runner, Riley Tell and it was quickly deleted. I understand he may not be well known around the world, however he has won many national and regional races and I believe he deserves a page. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Billwill11 (talk • contribs) 15:09, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for asking! I would suspect that (while I know nothing about Riley tell) your article might not meet the general notability guidelines listed at WP:Notability. It is strongly recommended that you read the Notability guidelines before you create an article on any subject. Again, thank you for contributing! Over and out. Joel.Miles925 (talk) 23:19, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Promotional edits?

You just warned me for promotional editing, but I don't know what you are referring to. Did you actually revert any of my edits, or was that a mistake? Random86 (talk) 23:00, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

That was actually a mistake. Meant to warn another guy who tripped the abuse filter who had created a promo for a furniture company. Cheers! Joel.Miles925 (talk) 23:06, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi, why is the page Cricket for a Cause marked for deletion? It isn't advertising but is informing... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Afridi2016 (talk • contribs) 20:31, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Because it read like an advertisement. Wikipedia articles are to be encyclopedic and neutrally written, not soapboxed. Also, the fact that you have only made articles on this one company and its founder suggests a conflict of interest, so our editors made the right decision in deleting said article. Thank you. Also, please remember to sign your posts with four tildes. Joel.Miles925 (talk) 01:44, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
