Ho Sin Hang

Hi Anne Delong, thanks for your effort rescuing this long abandoned draft. I've expanded and copyedited it a bit more and nominated the article for DYK, please see the nomination page. Best regards, -Zanhe (talk) 19:17, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Yes, Zanhe, I saw that. There seem to be an endless number of draft articles needing improvement, so I usually stop working on a page as soon as I feel it will pass an AfD nomination. Thanks for taking that one a little further.—Anne Delong (talk) 22:17, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Karen TenEyck, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Triumph of Love. 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.

Editor of the Week : nominations needed!

The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.

The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?

Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today!

Draft:Haier India concern

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Haier India, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:33, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Mass content removal

I'm sure your edits at Maxinquaye were made in good faith, but I don't agree with your rationale for removing so much, based on claims that the material you removed in some way was "promotional" or "trivial" or fancruft; like what made Tricky want to work with Saunders in the first place, or Tricky's extensive vinyl collection at his home being the source of the samples used on the record... your removal was jarring to say the least. This was also presumptuous; no source explicitly says who ended up buying the album generally. Dan56 (talk) 15:12, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Dan56. Here are my thoughts:

  • Just because something is true doesn't mean it should be in an encyclopedia, which should stick to information that has been written about extensively by journalists. If you can find a professional journalist who has written about Tricky's motivation in working with Saunders (not Tricky or someone close to him in an interview) then it would make the cut.
  • I took out the bit about the albums being spread around the floor as trivial. The sentence didn't say that they were part of his personal collection - which may be relevant if a reference can be found to support that.
  • On your third point, what I wrote is my interpretation of what the sentence I changed meant. The sentence was kind of vague, and I don't think the word "progressive" has a definable meaning when referring to listeners. Maybe you can rewrite that sentence so it is more accurate and yet makes sense. What does "rely on independent promoters" mean - did they subcontract the promotion? to whom? I took "rely on British demographic of progressive, young music buyers rather than American markets" to mean it was marketed in the UK and not in the US during the first few months and bought by young people.

I have opened a section on the talk page of the article, and I am going to put a link to this discussion there, since more interested people will see it.—Anne Delong (talk) 15:57, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

Like I said, your edits and rationale were presumptuous; the source citing Tricky's motivation for recording with Saunders is stated by the interviewer, but I dont agree with your perspective anyway, so I dont think it matters whether it was the interviewer or the interviewee, just that it received coverage in a published source. An interview, including quotable material, is third-party coverage, and that's the threshold for inclusion. You seem to be touching on "extensive" coverage, which is relevant in how much weight is given to particular points of view, not whether something can be included altogether. I disagree with your opinion that the other thing about Tricky's vinyl records is trivial. Dan56 (talk) 16:31, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

DYK for Ho Sin Hang

On 29 April 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ho Sin Hang, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Ho Sin Hang conceived the idea of creating the Hang Seng Index as the "Dow Jones Industrial Average of Hong Kong"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ho Sin Hang. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Ho Sin Hang), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Requesting feedback

Over at WT:X, I made a comment about whether you as an individual think maybe there could be cases where a draft up for deletion might contain, basically, sufficient reasonable content for possible inclusion elsewhere, maybe at like wikia. I have very little, if any, real history there, but think that, in at least a few cases, the content might be best kept available somewhere. As someone who knows a lot more about drafts than I do, I figure you might be best able to figure out, how, if at all, it might make sense to maybe do something along those lines.

Honda CR480

Hello, thanks for moving this to mainspace. I stumbled on it around the same time you rescued it, last year some time I think. I fettled it up some but then got a bit stuck for refs. So again, thanks for taking it on and completing the job. Regards, Eagleash (talk) 16:55, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Eagleash. Glad to help. By the way, I had never heard of the word "fettle", so I looked it up and then wrote this.—Anne Delong (talk) 18:03, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Haha, that's great. It's a term I use quite a lot and I've seen it used a fair amount on Wiki to refer to general 'tidying' efforts. I knew it had some archaic meaning but wasn't sure where it originated. It's a good term for motorcycling too. Vintage bike enthusiasts will likely spend more time fettling their ancient Nortons or Triumphs, than riding them. Eagleash (talk) 19:41, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Help with Vandal

The Haliwa-Saponi's article and talk page continues to get vandal by user 184.0.130.188 They had a warning on their talk page other day by another user for same thing but it appears the person may be deleting their own talk page or something as the warnings disappear. It appears they are attempting to wipe out the talk page as well. *edit: I noticed theystill have 1 warning but on one of their other talk pages, they have a different ip each time, other ip's they used is , 184.0.128.214, 184.0.134.37, 184.0.134.55

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haliwa-Saponi — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.156.112.159 (talk) 13:25, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you, I could not get the source links to work again after the guy had deleted them, could not figure out why they was not clickable after he deleted them. The guy had been deleting the talk page also and the talk page had more sources. But I am glad they are working again now. Here was some other sources if they are needed http://www.indianz.com/News/2011/001309.asp http://www.ncauditor.net/EPSWeb/Reports/Investigative/INV-2011-0363.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.156.112.159 (talk) 18:20, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello, 104.156.112.159. I added the links so that I could check out the contents of the references. I have no opinion as whether the text you like should or shouldn't be in the article. I see that the article has been semi-protected by Widr. I don't believe that the person who was changing the article was a vandal, just someone who disagreed with the content and tried to change it (a "content dispute"}. A vandal is someone who spoils articles for fun or out of meanness. Removing other people's comments on an article talk page, is of course, inappropriate, but sometimes new editors don't know that. Replacing them was the right thing to do. Removing comments on his or her own talk page is perfectly fine though, and shows that they were read. I am also curious as to what you meant about the references being "approved". As far as I know, admins don't approve references, and the only one I see who has edited the article actually reverted the page to the version by the IP you are complaining about. Please don't assume that because I added some detail to the references I was "approving" them. When the protection runs out, please consider using WP:Third opinion or WP:RFC to settle the disagreement.—Anne Delong (talk) 19:39, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

There has been numerous admins discuss the page before, there has been diiscussions on admin pages over the stuff, and there was stuff added to the talk page over that section for awhile. The guy with the 184 ip is from the haliwa group, he even had issues with the news media doing stories over their audits, him and his friends told media that they have no right disclosing their audits or disclosing their school incident (even though this stuff was all government funds paid by tax payers). There has been alot of controversy with their group since 1970's. To date their group has not been approved by the BIA (which over see's these type of groups). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.156.112.159 (talk) 22:27, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your contribution on Adam Gubman article

Thank you for the efforts you putted on this article. I could not properly care about it lately, but you made a nice work. Thanks again. --Giovanni Armocida

Hello, Giovanni Armocida. I noticed that article because I was improving an existing page in Draft space about this person. Since there is no need for two pages, I moved my information to the one you created. I am concerned, though, that the page is becoming more like a CV than an encyclopedia article, which should be a summary of a composer's life, not a detailed list of all compositions no matter how minor. I've made a comment to this effect on the article talk page.—Anne Delong (talk) 13:44, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
