Micro Museum

Micro Museum closed sometime last year. See the talk page of the draft for references on that.

I am afraid you have fallen for a hoax, to some degree. I did a little research and came up with two incontrovertible sources that show that it simply does not exist anymore. 1: the NY times says it is so, and 2. A major retail chain is operating at that location. At minimum we are talking about past tense. The likely situation is that someone affiliated with the museum is trying to lay down a legacy by creating an article. Unfortunately is is non-notable.

I would like to ask that you stop reverting my good edits to that page. Should you continue, I will have to take such silliness to RFAI. My edits are perfectly good. yours are knee-jerk and destructive in this case of this article. 104.163.152.80 (talk) 05:25, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

My Bio

I have tried to create my own bio, but had a lot of torubles finilized the article, it is still up and online but so many things are missing, so as my picture,, my teams list on a table format etc. can anyone help me?? Ashkaninho (talk) 06:58, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Dr. Paul V. Nolan

Hi @Atlantic306, you left a messages when you deproded the above. The message was: the sources are rs , obit or not. What does that mean? The whole notability premise is that he was in the State Legislature. But having searched the Tennessee Legislature. Can't find him. So essentially there is no refs. scope_creep (talk) 00:15, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I meant the references seeemed to be rs so it wasn't an uncontroversial deletion but in view of the difficulty you have found in verifying them it would probably be best to take to AFD where users with Proquest etc are very often finding sources I cant find. I certainly won't vote keep unless evidence is found. Thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 00:30, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Matthew Schultz

The NYT article is not in dispute. Although it is a review that mentions the Schultz. That would be the only viable mention. It's a vanity project. Please delete. Rudolph — Preceding unsigned comment added by RudolphSteiner (talk • contribs) 01:00, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

If you want to delete it WP: AFD is the best option now that prod is no longer allowed, you could try speedy delete but that would be unlikely to be successful so AFD would be the best option. If you need help starting an AFD make a request at the WP:AFD talk page, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 01:08, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Your de-prod

Hello. You de-proded this article. I cannot fathom why. And your edit summary did not illuminate me. Please take another look. Thank you. --2604:2000:E016:A700:3DD6:8ADE:AAEA:B960 (talk) 04:34, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Palazzo de Félice, Somma Vesuviana

Hi, you labelled Palazzo de Félice, Somma Vesuviana as a copyright violation of itself. Did you have an actual URL or other source you think it is a copy of? Online I only see Wikipedia mirrors. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:59, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

reFill

Hi I was wondering if you know about this tool - it's called reFill. It makes bare references complete [if they're not dead]. all you do is paste the article title in. --Jennica✿ / talk 17:57, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

Edit summaries - a great communication tool

Randall Hicks, which is up for deletion, contained a short Personal life piece which I deleted in its entirety - pretty rash, you might say (though you didn't) - with the summary "nothing of note or worth saying here and PROMO". You thought that inappropriate (and you may be right), ran a Twinkle reversion, summarised "is referenced". We can all be in too much of a hurry at times but this leaves me non-plussed. What's referencing got to do with my reason for deletion? We can reference things till the cows come home but not make otherwise non-publishable material any better. Your thoughts on the reason given by me for deletion? We need to know where the subject lives, how many children he has and that he has a video on Youtube? sirlanz 01:50, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Personal details seem valid as per most biographys, youtube info less so, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 01:53, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Question

I'm just curious. Why did you mark List of Chicago Med characters as reviewed? BattleshipMan (talk) 03:59, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

    • Because it was in the New Page Patrol list of articles to be reviewed so I checked it and marked it as reviewed. There is a backlog of 15,000 pages going back to September, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 04:02, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

You Racist.

Saying "White pride" is racist, when in reality, it's not. It is not neoNazi. The claims you made are racist though. River1218 (talk) 01:59, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Robert Ferns Waller

Hello there Thanks for your edits to the Robert Ferns Waller page! It's the first wikipedia page I've produced and I wondered if you might just be able to give me a bit of guidance regarding the note about more inline citations and what exactly I should be looking to add here? Thanks for your help! James — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dunemoons77 (talk • contribs) 08:41, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your message to me about encouraging me to post, I think re the Randall Hicks article I created. Did you enter a vote to keep or delete? I hope you will, regardless of which way you vote. I'm still struggling to understand the negativity from some. I entered the type of info I see on other Wikipedia pages I read, mainly authors. Someone voted delete and said it was promotional. I just don't understand this? What is "promotional" about the fact he has written 7 or 8 books? What does that have to do with his law practice . . . unless only dead people can have an article, that makes no sense to me. Hicks or his books are reviewed or he's interviewed in so many major papers (LA Times, New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times et cetera, and reviewed by the big entities, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, et cetera. And I have a specific question which I will also post on the proposed deletion page. I asked it before but no one addressed it. Previously I'd listed his appearances on 4 or 5 national TV talk shows (big ones, like CBS This Morning, and hosting a PBS series), but I deleted it since someone said so much info was inappropriate as promotional. To me, it shows his national prominence and recognition, which the last "delete" voter seemed to indicate. So should I add that back in? I really don't understand what is wanted. I feel what I do is criticized either way. Maybe I'm stubborn, but I don't want to have put in the work for a good article on an author I really like, and get it deleted. Thanks for any feedback you might have. From Gelo962 (talk) 23:16, 27 January 2017 (UTC)Gelo962

. I think it was Coolabapple who sent the message, thanks - hosting a pbs series seems significant, appearing on talk shows less so but still of interest Atlantic306 (talk),

Roman-Moorish kingdoms

Hi, I've just found the AfD, which happened before brunodam's edits, thus it cannot cover that text. You can revert back to this rev which is the last before both merging (done by @Dbachmann:), but in order to re-add brunodam's text you have to check them against sources, copyvios and almost any kind of possible violation. --Vituzzu (talk) 00:21, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

New Page Review - newsletter No.2

Hello Atlantic306,
A HUGE backlog

We now have 803 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.

Hitting 17,000 soon

The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.

Second set of eyes

Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.

Abuse

This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and

  1. this very recent case of paid advertising by a Reviewer resulting in a community ban.
  2. this case in January of paid advertising by a Reviewer, also resulting in a community ban.
  3. This Reviewer is indefinitely blocked for sockpuppetry.

Coordinator election

Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.

Hi! I ask you to add the article Ustinov Artur. Please do not create artificial barriers citing age and work experience. This is a decent man! Goha — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.81.107.129 (talk) 21:43, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi, you all need to make your case at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Artur Ustinov where you are allowed to vote keep or delete. The discussion will continue for at least a week and the final decision will be by an admin who will consider the strength of the arguments rather than counting votes, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 21:48, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing Chick Carter, Boy Detective. I appreciate your help.

I'm curious about the concepts of link rot and archiving pages. I read the post on your user page, and I agree with the concept of archiving web references. If I create an archive of a web reference, should I indicate that in the citation in some way? I usually use templates for citing my sources. Would some block in a template be the proper place to indicate where a reference is archived? Eddie Blick (talk) 00:33, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I don't think its necessary if the link is still live, but I think there is a particular citation style for archive.org when the webpage has gone although I don't bother with it but I haven't seen one for archive is. There is a bot that will come and fix the citations for archive.org.You will probably get better advice at the teahouse or helpdesk, your article is very good Atlantic306 (talk) 00:46, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
