Re:Casey Kearney
Hi, thanks for keeping me updated on this. On another note I created an article about the spree killer Philip Smith yesterday that you might find interesting. I currently have access to HighBeam and found a huge feature from the Birmingham Evening Mail published on the day he was sent to prison. I've used it as the basis for the article, but am looking for free online sources to back up as much as I can. It could also do with a few images, I guess. Take a look anyway and let me know what you think. Paul MacDermott (talk) 16:12, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks, I've found a couple of images for the locations on Commons so I might add those in a while. Also discovered he was a suspect in another death so need to add that information too. Paul MacDermott (talk) 20:38, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
- I agree that is unfortunate. You can always ask for it to be restored later rather than writing the whole thing again. Paul MacDermott (talk) 19:15, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
- There is a process whereby you can ask for a review if you feel an article has been unfairly deleted. Take a look at this page for more details and perhaps file a request. Paul MacDermott (talk) 19:38, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

The article Dulcita Lieggi has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Doesn't appear to meet the notability guideline for models or the general notability guideline
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. – hysteria18 (talk) 15:29, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
Nomination of Dulcita Lieggi for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Dulcita Lieggi is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dulcita Lieggi until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. – hysteria18 (talk) 19:07, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
- BabbaQ: Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. From your comment at WP:AfD, I don't think you understand what the term "notability" means in the sense that Wikipedia uses it. It does not speak to the accomplishments of the subject of the article at all; instead, notability, as Wikipedia uses it, is more about finding a source that states the subject has accomplished something notable. In other words, Dulcita Lieggi may have been named Miss World, but unless the article references two separate reliable sources stating that, it isn't notable. Will that help you improve your article enough so it doesn't get deleted? Gtwfan52 (talk) 04:01, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
Speedy deletion declined: Miss Asia Pacific World
Hello BabbaQ. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Miss Asia Pacific World, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article is not substantially the same as the deleted version. A new deletion discussion is required. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 04:33, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Eldar and Nigar PROD
Hi BabbaQ, I noticed a comment you posted at Bleubeatle (talk · contribs) regarding the removal of PROD tag from Eldar and Nigar, in which you stated their individual articles should be deleted, as the pair are a duo act. I should point out that you are technically incorrect. Ell & Nikki are really solo artists, and where only forged together as a duo act for the sake of Eurovision. :To put it into context, take for example Ant & Dec. They are a duo (formerly pop singers, turned TV presenters), and have an article as a duo, but also have articles as solo people Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly. Therefore Eldar & Nigar would be fine as the duo article, while keeping Eldar Gasimov and Nigar Jamal as articles to show their individualities. Wesley☀Mouse 13:22, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
- I feel it is only fair, that I make you aware that a user has outright admitted to being purposely uncivil towards you. Details of their statement can be seen here. Regards, Wesley☀Mouse 11:26, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
- Honestly I can't be bothered anymore. Im out of that discussion. But thank you for the notice.--BabbaQ (talk) 13:38, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
BabbaQ, I have had a word with Cooper, and think that there could be more to all of this then we actually think. In the past, I have noticed Bleubeatle's behavioural pattern being of a polite, quiet, caring editor. But recently that behaviour has done a 180-turn for the worse. Now either the user is going through some personal problems, or there really is a language barrier causing misunderstandings. Either way, I nominated myself to write a sincere letter to Bleu on his talk page. In that letter, I have suggested that the heated debate be cooled down by all sides, myself included, and checking to see if he would like all of the heated sections to be hidden from the general viewing eye (this can be done, and would't cause to much problems, as people may still see that part in the page history if they wish). If he agrees to this, then would you also be ok in hiding the heated sections, and then we can try and get the discussion back on the right cooperative track? P.S. Have you seen the ESC 2012 article? GA review is in progress and it is looking promising for the project to get its first ever GA-class on Eurovision by Year articles. If that does happen, then it would be a good argument to have Ell & Nikki separated from the song article too. Wesley☀Mouse 18:05, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
- Yes I fully agree that a behavioural change has happened with the user. I am starting to wonder if someone else is using the username then its original owner. I only responded this time again because the user tried to force me to leave the discussion by yet another "you can leave if you feel like it" comment. Anyway I will try to just not look at that talk page anymore. And I have to be honest with you Wesley, I have a very hard time seeing Bleubeatle change his behaviour anytime soon. Or seeing the good faith in the users comments overall. Yes I am keeping my fingers crossed at the ESC2012 article being granted GA status. And yes I agree with that the Ell&Nikki article would benefit from being separate from the song article when the ESC 2012 article is granted GA status. Keep up the good work Wesley you are a really good contributor to the Wikipedia and a true asset to the ESC-project! Sincerely.--BabbaQ (talk) 18:21, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
Project Eurovision RFC discussion reminder
WikiProject Eurovision: This is a reminder to all members of Project Eurovision, that there is still an ongoing RfC discussion taking place at the project talk page. It is vital that everyone participates in this discussion, as it concerns the future manual of style and article layout in regards to Eurovision Song Contest by Year and Junior Eurovision Song Contest by Year articles. This is your ideal opportunity to contribute suggestions and ideas on a major issue, which will reflect on the way these articles will be written in future. Thank You!

Ankheg
Hello,
Because you participated in the previous AFD for Ankheg, I am notifying you that it has been nominated for AFD again. 129.33.19.254 (talk) 14:18, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
Here's one for you to ponder over
Hi BabbaQ, With all the goings on with you know what, I thought you may like to have something else to have a gander at and take your mind off issues. As you know, the project newsletter was revived this month, and I am already in preparations of writing the next edition. I've done some tweaking improvements of style/layout of the newsletter to give it more appeal and "grab-ability" to everyone (my aim is to get project members hooked on the newsletter, and read with interest). Anyhow, would you be so kind and have a glance at the draft version, and let me know if there is anything else that could do with being included, or if there is something in there that isn't really needed. Thanks Wesley☀Mouse 14:04, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
- Appreciate it. Have responded at your talk page.--BabbaQ (talk) 14:14, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
Marjorie Orbin
That looks like it has potential to be expanded. I'll take a look in a day or two and see what I can find. While I'm here, do you know anyone at WP:CRIME who does copy editing? I'd like someone to go through my Philip Smith article before I put it forward to GAN, but it's been up at the Guild of Copy editors noticeboard for some weeks now without any takers. Cheers Paul MacDermott (talk) 20:45, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
- That would be great if you do find someone who can do that. In the meantime I'll submit it for a peer review as they're usually a little quicker at reviewing things there. Cheers Paul MacDermott (talk) 10:44, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Bienvenue! Willkommen! Welcome! Please be warm-hearted in encouraging everyone to do their best to contribute to all Eurovision-related Wikipedia articles, and welcome our new members to the project. It is easy for editors to get into conflict with each other, and things can get very nasty on the most trivial of issues, whether that be on the language of songs, the names of certain countries, or how we deal with incidents at the contest. In such circumstances it is worth remembering one thing: we are all here to build an encyclopedia, and the contribution of Eurovision to human knowledge can only be given justice if we work together and make articles, not drama!
Happy editing!

In The News/Recurring Items
I am posting here to ask for editors to look at Wikipedia:In_the_news/Recurring_items and to comment at the talk page to discuss/vote on an amendment to the ITN/R list. I am posting this message on a number of editor's talk pages to encourage debate.
In connection to an ongoing debate on which items can appear on the front page under "In The News", "Recurring Items" are nominated events which require very little debate in the nomination process.
I propose the following amendment to the current ITN/R list. In addition I will put this on the talk page of as many editors as I can find who are contributors to ITN/C
At Wikipedia:In_the_news/Recurring_items, I propose the following amendment to section 3:
- At line 5, delete "and", and add after "territories" the words "and the world's twenty smallest nations".
Section 3, Line 5 would then read:
- Disputed states, dependent territories and the world's twenty smallest nations should be discussed at WP:ITN/C and judged on their own merits.
I look forward to the debate doktorb wordsdeeds 07:28, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
I just found this article after watching the case on BBC News. Looks interesting and I've done a bit of work on it, and thought you might like to take a look. Could be worth expanding, and this is definitely one that shouldn't have any problems attached to it. Paul MacDermott (talk) 13:08, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking a look at this. I'll have a go at expanding it when I have a bit of time to delve into the background of this case. Meanwhile, I've just created another article you may find interesting. Marcus Robinson had his death sentence commuted to life this week by North Carolina after using the state's Racial Justice Act to prove unfair jury selection in his trial. I'm less familiar with US legal cases but can see lots of scope for development. Take a look if you get a chance. Cheers Paul MacDermott (talk) 13:21, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks. Paul MacDermott (talk) 13:29, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
- Looks like an interesting case, but I notice we also have an article on Pierre Williams so I guess they'll probably need merging at some point. I'll add a {{mergeto}} template for now, and put it on my to do list. Paul MacDermott (talk) 11:52, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Nargiz Berk-Petersen
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Nargiz Berk-Petersen requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 21:30, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
The article Nargiz Berk-Petersen has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- The subject's only claim of notability (will be) co-hosting the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in May. Fails WP:BLP1E .
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Voting in AfD
hi, ive noticed you've been doing some very simple voting "keep passes WP:GNG" given previous concerns about your keep arguments I do wonder if you even read the AfD or the article in question or simply turn up and say "keep passes WP:GNG" with no thought. You recently did 4 keep votes in 3 minutes all with this same recycled reasoning. LibStar (talk) 04:32, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
- Also, WP:AFD discussions are not a keep/delete vote. Valid arguments are required. – Kosm1fent 06:43, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

I had a quick read this evening and it seems fine. One or two thing we could perhaps consider for a future FAC nomination might be to expand the lead as I'm not sure if everything in the main body is covered there, and remove some of the refs. But apart from that it seems to read well, and I see it passed a GA reassessment not long after the execution, so overall it seems to be fairly detailed and well organised. If you're thinking of an FA nomination it's definitely headed in the right direction. I'll read through it again when I get a chance and perhaps make a few adjustments. Cheers Paul MacDermott (talk) 22:26, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
- Just an update on this. Have replaced a couple of the refs that had gone out of date and done some minor copyediting to one of the sections. Some of the references, particularly the abc ones, seem to be a bit of a problem as Reflinks wanted to merge them together when I ran the article through it for Bare URLs. I'll take a look at the lead and move some of the refs from that into the main text when I have a couple of hours to spare. Cheers Paul MacDermott (talk) 13:48, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi BabbaQ... You are mentioned on user talk:Kiefer.Wolfowitz as a possible sock of Rlevse, as am I. I have started a discussion here which you might be interested in seeing / contributing to (or not, at your option). EdChem (talk) 05:42, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
Joanna Yeates again
Hi, I just thought I'd let you know I've nominated Murder of Joanna Yeates for peer review to find out what exactly it might need to get to GA or FA status. I think everybody who worked on this article has put a lot of effort into making it comprehensive and presentable so believe it should be promoted. Hopefully we may be able to improve it further if needed. Cheers Paul MacDermott (talk) 12:39, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Moa Lignell
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Moa Lignell requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 18:29, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Only warning
WP:HARASSMENT has a specific definition. Any future claims of harassment that do not meet that definition can lead to a block. Your personal incivility and false accusations are merely escalating a situation, and cannot be condoned (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 15:39, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
December 2011
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 15:42, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
BabbaQ (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I was responding to personal attacks by the user Twatfots after trying to avoid further contact for a few days. The user continued to write about me to several users even after that. In the end I reacted to this [1], [2],[3] and I am the one being blocked for harassments, as you can see I tried to reason with the user and tried to make us move on from previous arguments. The user has been told by several users to move on but has continued to make a smear campaign against me. I wish to be unblocked and will not have any further contact with the user in question.
Decline reason:
See below. (Considering the full history of this issue, I think a 24 hour block is on the minimal side. There is certainly no question of reducing it.) JamesBWatson (talk) 17:22, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
- Right, but when told to leave them alone, you chose to continue posting on their talkpage, with the condescending "my dear" commentary. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 15:51, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
- Still, you have made a overreaction to a user that was only tired of days of a personal smear campaign from the user in question. Also you blocked me before I even got a chance to read your final warning. (Which I dont agree with but would have taken to heart).--BabbaQ (talk) 15:53, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
- You posted on their talkpage 6 times today - all of them after they asked you to leave them alone. Count them: 6 (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 16:03, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
- Anyway if blocking me for 24hrs is the price to pay to get this user to leave me alone, a point that finally seem to get trough its a price im willing to take. Yes I responded 6 times today after the user had written about me more then 10 times to other users instead of directly to me. Anyway I will move on now.--BabbaQ (talk) 16:07, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
- An editor has a right to express concerns about your civility, anywhere. If you have violated other policies, they have a right to ask someone about it. They have a right to file a report, if needed. It's not harassment. Browbeating them because of it is harassment because you're trying to force them to stop. Indeed, they may still file a report in the future, if needed. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 16:48, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi, nice that Wikipedia is used as a source of information even for media in the case of Oba Chandler. Like this article.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:52, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
- Hi! Yes, I agree. It is nice (and, also, interesting) that the Wikipedia article was used as a media source! Thanks for pointing that out ... I would never have seen that, otherwise. Thanks! (Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 16:42, 12 October 2011 (UTC))
- Yes it is an indication that the article is worthy of its Good article status. Please check out the talk page of the Teresa Lewis article there is a banner that is used when an article is mentioned as a source by other media. Perhaps something for the Oba Chandler article!. But I dont really know how to use it. --BabbaQ (talk) 17:45, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks again. Yes, I had never noticed that before. Thanks for pointing it out. I don't know how to use those banners, either. But, they seem simple enough. If you type in the following "code" ... (see below) ... then, that results in the following banner on the Talk Page (see below). Perhaps you can copy/paste this as an example and change the pertinent info, to place it on the Oba Chandler article? Thanks! (Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 18:49, 12 October 2011 (UTC))

Tips on article writing and referencing with inline citations
Hi BabbaQ, I thought I'd drop a few notes on your talk page with some help on writing articles :o)
First of all, it may be best for you to do a bit of reading, starting with the Wikipedia manual of style, which will give you a lot of information about how Wikipedia prefers its articles to be written. It's not as hard to follow as it might look; quite a bit of the information there probably won't be vital for you at first.
Second, I recommend you make a user sandbox - which is just an area you can use to practise in, and to make notes in, and to get things ready in. If you click this red link: user:BabbaQ/Sandbox, that will let you create that page (it gives you an edit window to start work in). Anything, anywhere, on the help and information pages which gives you an example, try it out in your sandbox until you're familiar with it.
For your article, the next thing you want to do is start collecting as much information as you can about it. Google searches (particularly in Books and Scholar) will be your best friend for this! Once you've found the information, the next most important thing is to start writing up each fact in your own words (very important, this), and make a note at the same time of exactly where that information came from. Build in the references as you go along; I'm going to copy in, down below this, a whole heap of help on doing references, which was produced by one of our best teachers (Chzz).
Here's another place that you'll find incredibly useful - citation templates which you can copy and paste into your sandbox, between <ref></ref> tags; you just fill in the blanks from your sources into the template, and you'll end up with nicely formatted inline citations :o) It all helps. Remember to add a references section to your sandbox (make a new line, and put ==References== on it, and type {{reflist}} on the next line, so that you can see how your citations look as you do them. Remember to save your page often! You don't want to lose your work.
Hopefully this will give you a good start and make life easier for you. Pesky (talk …stalk!) 08:32, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
How references work
Simple references
These require two parts;
- a)
Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref> He likes tea. <ref> [http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com Tea website] </ref>
- b) A section called "References" with the special code "{{reflist}}";
== References ==
{{reflist}}
(an existing article is likely to already have one of these sections)
To see the result of that, please look at user:chzz/demo/simpleref. Edit it, and check the code; perhaps make a test page of your own, such as user:BabbaQ/reftest and try it out.
Named references
Chzz was born in 1837. <ref name=MyBook> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref> Chzz lives in Footown.<ref name=MyBook/>
Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.
Citation templates
You can put anything you like between <ref> and </ref>, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;
Chzz has 37 Olympic medals. <ref> {{Citation
| last = Smith
| first = John
| title = Olympic medal winners of the 20th century
| publication-date = 2001
| publisher = [[Cambridge University Press]]
| page = 125
| isbn = 0-521-37169-4
}}
</ref>
Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.
For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.
Something to make your life easier!
Hi there BabbaQ! I've just come across one of your articles, and noticed that you had to create titles for your url links manually, or were using bare urls as references.
You might want to consider using this tool - it makes your life a whole heap easier, by filling in complete citation templates for your links. All you do is install the script on Special:MyPage/common.js, or or Special:MyPage/vector.js, then paste the bare url (without [...] brackets) between your <ref></ref> tabs, and you'll find a clickable link called Reflinks in your toolbox section of the page (probably in the left hand column). Then click that tool. It does all the rest of the work (provided that you remember to save the page! It doesn't work for everything (particularly often not for pdf documents), but for pretty much anything ending in "htm" or "html" (and with a title) it will do really, really well. Happy editing!

Regarding Kanovski
Kanovski (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) isn't really vandalising, you might want to report him to WP:ANI if you feel he is being disruptive. Sorry. Alexandria (talk) 18:43, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
- OK. Yeah I will wait and see if the user continues. Thanks.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:04, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
- "BabbaQ", strike my above statements to you. I asked you a question regarding ad populum and weasel entries, and you replied - that's fair enough. The rest is on a level that I am not use to. I argue rules, regulations and the merits of cases. I also fact check for a living. However, ad hominem, red herring and circular discussions, I don't do. Kanovski (talk) 07:24, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Please actually read AfDs
I'm not the first person to raise with you and this probably the 4th or 5th time it's been raised regarding the quality of your voting. You almost always vote keep but almost never provide evidence of searches and state your explanation in very short sentence. In this Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cristina Siekavizza , I really wonder if you even looked at the article. The subject is about Guatemala but for some strange reason you mention coverage in Argentina? Did you actually search Argentinian press or merely blind voted? LibStar (talk) 15:15, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
- did you actually do a search for sources for this AfD? Secondly, Anna Lundh looks questionable but there could be reliable sources in Swedish. LibStar (talk) 13:03, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
Congratulations on receiving the Dr. Heiter Award!
Hi there, thank you for your contributions to The Human Centipede (First Sequence). When the article was first started in October 2009 is was but a tiny stub that was immediately tagged for deletion, but thanks to the efforts of wikipedia editors that tiny acorn has grown into a great oak tree of an article. The Human Centipede (First Sequence) is now a Featured Article and on the 17th June 2010 the article received its 1,000,000th page view! The article routinely receives over five thousand views a day and is in the top 1,000 most viewed Wikipedia articles!
On Halloween 2011, the article was the Main Page Featured Article!
The Dr. Heiter Award was created to reward editors who have made positive contributions to the article. It can be presented by any wikipedia user to anyone who has helped the article grow. This might be by adding new content, fixing any errors or reverting vandalism.
Thanks! Feed!
I would like to draw particular reference to your moral boosting support and encouragement. When people are calling for my head on a plate (not that I'm bothered) it's cool to know there are still people like you out there.

I beg of you
Please, when you get the chance, at least try to skim Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions! Thank you.--Yaksar (let's chat) 01:03, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
- BabbaQ, again you are getting back to your bad habits of lazy keep voting in AfDs , there is no evidence that you actually read the AfD or bother to look for sources. [4], [5], and [6]. I am now at least the 4th editor to warn you about this in recent months. Lazy voting helps no one. I think people are getting tired of the way you vote suggest you improve the arguments for voting keep. thanks LibStar (talk) 12:38, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
- I think you are entitled to your opinion. But I have to disagree, because its in all cases what I call "deletionists" for lack of a better description that always complain about that. But I witness on a daily basis how these deletionists !votes delete- non notable author, delete- doesnt meet that or that guideline, this without ever going into description on what they really mean. I find it quite strange that it is in 9 cases of 10 that the deletionists feel the right to question the keep votes but when the opposit happens they are non-responsive and takes the usual "personal attack" road. hmm... And im not saying you are Libstar but I find it to be an overall "deletionists"-dictatorship on the AfD processes. Cheers.--BabbaQ (talk) 12:59, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
- just because you think other people simply, does not mean you need to !vote "keep per person Y" etc etc. remember the time you said keep per X, when X actually argued delete. your response here does not address why you regularly fail to adequately provide reasons in AfDs. LibStar (talk) 13:09, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
Hello.
Hello BabbaQ, I would like to inform you of an article for deletion discussion I would like your input on: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Dethcentrik_(2nd_nomination). If you're wondering where I've seen you before it's here: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Elctrikchair_(3rd_nomination), and I valued your input there and would appreciate it here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BusyWikipedian (talk • contribs) 07:42, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
- I would like to please ask that you mention why specific sources are notable or not, as it would greatly strengthen any argument you have. I think it will help you in the future as well (I apologize but I can't help but notice how much user:Yaksar is telling you about your votes, but I believe you make vote in good faith, and that's why I'd like yours now BusyWikipedian (talk) 07:47, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Exactly where ?
Exactly where did I make such an accusation? I challenged him/her to provide evidence of international coverage, having proved that it was absent from portal page of important outlets. I didn't doubt that links might exist: I wanted to see the profile they were given. And listening to Radio 4 and Radio 5 regularly, and watching Breakfast News on the BBC for at least an hour each morning plus a main bulletin most evenings, I had never heard any mention of Casey Anthony anywhere other than on ITN/C. Kevin McE (talk) 22:51, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
- You made an accusation. You need to either substantiate it or retract it (and hopefully have the decency to apologise). The only other alternative is to be seen as an editor lacking in integrity. The choice is yours. Kevin McE (talk) 06:43, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

AFD
I know you've been told this before but please take this in good faith - using keep arguments in XFD like 'GNG is met' [8] or 'Clearly notable' [9] are generally seen as unhelpful, remember that XFD is not a vote and that one well thought out argument can be worth a hundred one line comments. Please read WP:ATA.
The same goes for assertions that there is no reason for deletion, when there plainly is [10] [11] (respectively the reasons are that the article is a WP:HOAX and that it is non-notable).
Also please note that the essentially ad hom argument that the nominator is blocked/a sockpuppet/banned etc. ceases to apply when good faith editors have begun a legitimate discussion (especially when a good faith editor has seconded the nomination) per WP:SK. Please do bear this in mind or your xfd !votes are liable to be ignored. Thanks, Bob House 884 (talk) 12:02, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
- thanks Bob House I fully agree with your comments. I've told BabbaQ twice previously about WP:ATA. Providing consistently short very keep votes with zero explanation of how the subject meets a notability guideline gives the impression of blind !voting. LibStar (talk) 13:10, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
- Well ofcourse I take you comments in good faith, But in the end I have seen that a majority of the discussions I have participated in ended in either Keep or No consenus so I have been quite right on track trough out. And if im not mistaken everyone is entitled to !vote as they please, even though I ofcourse agree with you that I could perhaps expand my opinions at times. Thanks guys.--BabbaQ (talk) 14:48, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

The Human Centipede (First Sequence) is currently a featured article candidate
Hi there, thanks for all the helpful edits you have contributed to The Human Centipede article, I thought I'd let you know that the article is currently a featured article candidate!
At the moment I'm trying my best to make positive changes to the article based upon the comments and suggestions on the article review, but any help with this would really be appreciated. The featured article review is here and if you have any spare time it would be really cool if you could have a look at the comments and help make sure the article is meeting the standards that are asked of a featured article. Plus if there's anything you think you can do to help improve the article, or anything important that it's missing, please do go ahead and make the changes!
Thanks for all your help with the article. cya Coolug (talk) 19:35, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
ENCRYPTMATRON
Hi,
regarding ENCRYPTMATRON, do you have any specific suspicions?
Amalthea 21:02, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
- Hmm I cant point to any specific blocked vandal account. Its a suspicion because of the way the user edits and responds to messages I have been trough this quite a few times and all the signs, and have often been right before. The user seems to be very aware of how Wikipedia works not like a "new user". I would feel better if it was investigated and if im wrong im the first one to say it was a mistake but I would feel more comfortable if it was investigated for socks.--BabbaQ (talk) 21:06, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

While it's true that it is 'opinion' as to whether Jacqui Melksham made mistakes or not in the US-Sweden game, it is fact that there were many stories written about this. I think it is completely appropriate to put this in the article. Do you have any better defense for why you reverted my edits? санпитц (talk) 04:24, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

I want to let you know that I have reverted your edits to Caylee Anthony homicide. After reviewing the changes to the article, it appears the new version is better than the one you reverted to. In addition, the article has been edited a number of times after the alleged vandalism. I also reviewed your concern that large sections of the article were removed; however, it appears the sections were incorporated into other parts of the article that provided better a flow. I understand your interest in reverting the Cameron Scott edits; however, ignoring the sockpuppet issues, the version that he created and was followed up by other's edits and appears to be a tighter version of the article. If you wish to revert the edits or remove the Cameron Scott edits, please get consensus onthe talkpage. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks and my best to you. ttonyb (talk) 05:51, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

"I am if honest not comfortable either with the fact that this Afd was put on by a mass Afd/deletionist user as evident here by the users edits .. no disrespect but that is my feeling" <sigh> Is this really WP:AGF? My experience is that when someone moves away from the issues at hand in a AfD and tries to make the someone's edits a factor, they are really saying their stand in the AfD is weak and lacks substance. Perhaps you might want to read my comments in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Appirio before making such sweeping statements? </sigh> ttonyb (talk) 17:58, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know about this discussion, but I'm a little curious as to why you chose to notify me - from the history, I haven't had any involvement in this article. In general, it's not a good idea to send unsolicited messages about discussions unless there's some particular reason the recipient might be interested; your post on my talk page could be seen as WP:CANVASSING.

Regarding AFD and policy
Hi BabbaQ,
AFD isn't a battleground or a courtroom, that means that rather than being adversarial in nature (so you win by defeating people who disagree) its consensus based (so you 'win' by getting your opponents to agree with you). It's generally not a good idea to try to use policy to defeat peoples arguments, and instead you should probably try to politely address their concerns, for instance in the Alex Hilton Afd it may have been a better approach to respond to Tony's comments by giving him examples of substantial media coverage rather than attempting to dismiss them by quoting policy. That way, future voters would have been able to assess the evidence more effectively and Tony might even have been willing to change his mind. It also helps to keep good faith and stops you avoiding a charge of wikilawyering.
It might be worth reconsidering WP:GHITS as well. The arguments which the GHITS policy is supposed to prevent are ones which use GHITS as a sole or very significant determinate of notability. For example "X recieves 100,000 GHITS therefore it is/is not notable". Its fine to use it pragmatically or as a probable indicator of worth in relevant circumstances, we just have to avoid inferring this 'therefore' element of causation and trust in people's ability to use it properly (e.g. its a good yardstick for judging the notability of a primarily internet based commentator, but not very good for very specialised or non-internet things, such as an element of Roman culture. Its definately not as clear cut as you are trying to present it.
Regards, Bob House 884 (talk) 13:05, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
- Also along these lines, please make sure that when discussing policy, you know what the actual policies say. In the Dudley Lynch RFA, when WP:AUTHOR was brought up, you defined "author" and explained that the subject meets the definition of an author. That is not at all what WP:AUTHOR says. Kansan (talk) 15:40, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
- Kansan, that particular matter is infact a matter of personla opinion and not strictly a matter of guidelines. Anyway the guideline still proclaims that an author is someone that has released a book or similar texts. I will not back down from my right to give my personal opinion. Cheers.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:43, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
- You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but not to cite guidelines with an improper description if you expect them to carry weight in the discussion. I cannot find where it says what you are saying under the guideline; instead, I see the sentence "The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work".

While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large.

Consensus building vs voting
Hi, I've noticed that you've made a lot of contributions to discussions, at ITN and elsewhere, without providing much of a rationale for supporting/opposing/deleting/whatever. Consensus is based on the strength of the argument, not the number of people making it, so comments like "Support - big deal. itn" don't add much to the discussion. When admins judge consensus, we have to "weigh" !votes and very short comments with little rationale are weighted much less than a convincing argument that explains your viewpoint. Something for you to bare in mind. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 02:09, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
I put a hold on this at DYK, because it needs more work on the translation from Swedish to English. The main problems are grammatical. Also, some context should be provided. The article uses the LO/SAP term for itself in Swedish, for example. Good luck! Kiefer.Wolfowitz (Discussion) 13:35, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for improving the prose. (I did a little bit, following great edits by Materialscientist.) Unfortunately, the article is based on only primary sources associated with the school, so it is not eligible for DYK. As Materialscientist noted, it is rather short also. I hope that there is a local newspaper who writes about the school regularly, to address the notability concerns and reliable sources concerns raised also by other editors.

This needs more reliable, independent third-party sources to qualify as a notable person and article, and therefore to advance for the DYK. There is essentially only one source, the Napierville News, that is not written by the subject. There are no independent reviews of her books or coverage of her work, except a notice at the association website where she is on the board of directors. I've worked on editing the article to make the best use of material and add standard headers, but it needs sources. Parkwells (talk) 20:43, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Notability thoughts
Yes, the Henslee / Howarth case is a tough call as it is very new. As an arrest has already been made, I would wait and see if the case is still in the news after a few weeks. I think you were lucky with the Joanna Yeates case as even I was surprised by the amount of attention it received by the media. The Carlina White case that you had mentioned to me had no notability problems as it is an older case that had only recently been solved. That is why I often bring up WP:PERSISTENCE for judging "news" cases. By waiting, there is the possibility that another editor may start such an article, but if an AfD is raised, then it is that editor's headache. I have also been working on 2011 Tucson shooting, in which notability was established immediately because notable people (who already had articles here) were involved. KimChee (talk) 19:43, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
- Also, there is no shame in an article being nominated for AfD if you started it in good faith. Just be aware that some editors do get annoyed if they feel that the other discussion participants are "too motivated". KimChee (talk) 19:59, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah I will definitly take your advice to heart..Ill wait im not even sure if I will infact make any stub but perhaps in a few weeks atleast. Also Joanna Yeates proves that many users on Wikipedia that have extremely strong "Delete" opinions can be wrong in a big way, anyway it was kept and that is good.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:47, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
Bot behaviour
No problem, Gimmebot is functioning normally, though the talk headers did need some cleaning up. Once an article becomes GA (or FA) the DYK and AfD information becomes buried under "Article milestones". If you think about it, those past milestones are trivial in comparison to the accomplishment of getting an article to pass a GA review. KimChee (talk) 12:14, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

If an article is not new (less than 5 days old), then the expanded prose (text minus headers, captions, infoboxes, tables, etc.) of the rewritten article must be 5x longer to qualify for DYK.

Malmö shootings
The section you keep restoring is a pro-SD segment from Björn Söder, who attacks Malmö and its population on a daily basis, stating that the people of Malmö should live in fear of the shooter without the media reporting on the shootings. And since the Wikipedia editing page states that users should "maintain a neutral, unbiased point of view", there is no point in adding Söder's pro-SD talking point in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.102.150.186 (talk) 20:21, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
- As long as the comments are sourced and in good use for the article I dont see a point of deleting that material. And you using several different IPs to delete the information doesnt help your case.--BabbaQ (talk) 21:36, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

I left a note for Errant about the DYK hook for this article, directing them to this section I've started. But I then realised that you nominated the article and worked on it as well, so I'm leaving the same note for you. As I said to Errant, it's just a feeling of unease it gives me, so I wanted more eyes on this to see what others think. I hope you get this message in time.

Speedy deletion nomination of Eldar Gasımov
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Eldar Gasımov requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. ~~EBE123~~(talk) 21:21, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Eldar Gasımov
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Eldar Gasımov, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 21:22, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Eldar Gasımov.

John and Sarah Jane Makin
Hi again I have just started to read about a very interesting and notable crime case from Australia in the 1890 its about Sarah and John Makin who murdered infants that they had been paid to look after from young women who couldnt take care of them. According to the text it was because of this case that legislations about childcare was changed in Australia so it has had an effect on the country politically and socially. So I was wondering if you would like to make atleast a stub about the case in question, if you have the time. Some sites about the case is found here and here. Thanks.--BabbaQ (talk) 22:42, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
- I started a workpage stub here. If you can help me expand it to at least 1,500 characters of prose (it is presently at 522), I will transfer it into a new article space and split the credit with you for the DYK nomination. KimChee (talk) 07:02, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
- Yes I have done some changes. Feel free to change anything that you dont find fitting. As you have so mutch more experience than me. Thanks.--BabbaQ (talk) 16:27, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
- Hello again. The amount of additions to the workpage looks like a decent start. However, upon copyediting and checking against the sources, I recommend that you should work on rephrasing information from your sources more thoroughly (see WP:PARAPHRASE). This is something that a reviewing editor will likely catch during GA review and is also known to happen during DYK reviews. KimChee (talk) 03:47, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

- I regret to be the bearer of bad news, but the majority of the article appears to be a word-for-word copy and paste of an ABC News article and will likely be deleted by an administrator. As the revision history indicates that this problem occurred before your involvement in the article, I recommend that you start a new article from scratch later to be clear of any copyright issues. I think you could also claim DYK credit for restarting the article. KimChee (talk) 10:16, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

As the deletion proposal appears to give you a seven day window, you should exercise patience for a few days and see if the media coverage unfolds to provide material to further establish notability before attempting to delete the proposal as it would likely go straight to an WP:AFD vote. For future articles of similar subject matter, I recommend you check against WP:PERSISTENCE and WP:ONEEVENT as criteria that will help you establish notability. KimChee (talk) 10:16, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Nomination of Disappearance of Joanna Yeates for deletion
The article Disappearance of Joanna Yeates is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Disappearance of Joanna Yeates until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. ƒox 21:45, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
- It is too bad I was unable to advise the other editor that removing the deletion proposal tag prematurely would force an early AfD vote. However, it looks like you have more supporters this time. I will wait until the official post-mortem report is issued before joining the discussion. KimChee (talk) 23:56, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah. It feels quite safe to say that there is support for this article to stay on Wikipedia for now. And I have a feeling that the post-mortem results will provide further insights into the case and provide enough information for definite "keep statu." --BabbaQ (talk) 23:58, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
- I hope you do not mind my frankness, but I am still at a weak keep because of the early stage of the investigation, so I will continue to help clean up the article while waiting to see if my opinion strengthens through additional news reports. However, my instinct tells me that this will likely be a higher profile case than the others. KimChee (talk) 15:15, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, you are totally entitled to your opinion ofcourse. And as you point out it will probably end up as you predict with a high profile case. Keep up the very good work. Thanks--BabbaQ (talk) 15:20, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
- On the other hand you could put on a Weak keep on the Afd for now and change it if you feel different at another time. Or make a small comment that you think the case is going to last etc.. But thats up to you.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:23, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
- I did finally comment, though I do not think you need my vote anymore. :) As a note of observation, there will always be editors biased towards inclusionism and deletionism, so you should relax and take the AfD process less personally. By focusing on the content of the article (as the supportive editors appear to have done in this case) rather than the argument itself, the others in AfD may take you more seriously. KimChee (talk) 19:57, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah I see your points. Even though I personally find it that I only reacted back in the same manor as those who wrote to me in the first place. Even though I know I should be above that and so on and on... You know how it is sometime. anyway,on a more positive note im satisfied that the Keep consensus has been basically reached by now. Cheers mate.--BabbaQ (talk) 22:04, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

FA/PR suggestion
Im not saying I will , but If I was to nominate the Oba Chandler article for FA do you think it stands a reasonable chance of being Supported for it?. I personally find that the overall prose,length and sourcing are up to FA standards and when looking trough the arguments for not promoting it in an earlier FA nomination, the problems raised that time has been taken care of since. But I dont know maybe im bias because I personally find the article very good.Cheers.--BabbaQ (talk) 22:28, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
- The article is decent, but I am 99% certain that the editors there will give you a hard time during FA Review; the bar for FA has been raised noticeably higher in the past few years. I recommend you read some of the reviews to see what they subject the nominators to. I think a good idea would be to submit the article to Peer Review; you will be assigned an experienced editor who will provide feedback to help prepare the article. I have done this regularly to prepare candidates for GA and FA review. KimChee (talk) 22:41, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
- OK I will think it trough both ones and twice more before doing it. Thanks.--BabbaQ (talk) 22:43, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
Just by way of an FYI ... you may have felt LibStar's comment to you to be insulting, but LibStar has a point - your vote on the Clemente AfD shows a startling lack of knowledge on how the AfD process works, and some of your votes in other AfDs more of the same. I urge you to familiarize yourself with the standard notability and inclusion criteria, as well as deletion policy and the accompanying guide to deletion, before participating in further AfDs. One consequence of not doing so is likely what you're finding in LibStar's comment: that people will discount your opinion as uninformed, and your arguments will carry little or no weight in future AfDs. RGTraynor 14:54, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
- totally agree, well said RGTraynor. BabbaQ many of your !votes say keep as per sources or minimum requirements met, in a very short sentence. Any keep voter must explain how notability is met abd which criterion, and you never explain. Secondly in the case of little or no sources, good "keep" voters actually search for sources, it's fine to always !vote keep but please make a serious effort instead of just popping up and saying keep and a vague statement. Your pattern of voting suggests you don't even try to search for sources. LibStar (talk) 15:03, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
- The problem is as I have already stated that I have had the "right opinion" in a number of Afds. Where I for example said Keep and Libstar (as you are referring to that user) said Delete and the final result was Keep. That can only point to the fact that I am quite familiar with the Wikipedia guidelines afer all. Also I have to say that I have not had a problem with anyone else but Libstar who time after time claims that I am wrong. I am starting to believe that its more of a "you are of the wrong opinion" kind of remarks, even though I am hoping its not. But ofcourse people can always improve knowledge about the Wikipedia. But I like that you remain civil Libstar, credit you you my friend. Peace.--BabbaQ (talk) 14:59, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
- One suggestion from my point of view to you and Libstar would be to not just refer to for example WP:ONEEVENT and not go any further in your reasonings. That will in 9 cases of 10 lead to a discussion about how that guideline refers to the subject in hand and I have noticed that it often leads to a hollowing of the guideline as for both Keep and Delete.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:01, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

- I also am questioning why someone deleted these messages that I had posted...hmm maybe it was a mistake?--BabbaQ (talk) 15:07, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
It was a mistake as I was posting at the same time. Sorry.LibStar (talk) 15:10, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
- it's not about wrong opinion it's about the way you !vote. Tell us why did you say "keep per courcelles" when all courcelles did was relist the debate? LibStar (talk) 15:13, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
- I will answer that question when you answer to why you only keep referring to guidelines like WP:ONEEVENT and to why you posting WP:JUSTAVOTE to anyone that says different than you my friend?.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:16, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
- By the way its obvious that i ment Schmidts comment but by mistake wrote wrong. Are you assmuming bad faith? hmm.. I am starting to assume bad faith from your side even though I hope im wrong.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:18, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Anyway, peace out.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:16, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
- is it because you don't want to admit the truth? that you just visit AfDs put a vague statement like "notability met" and always want to vote !keep regardless. And that "keep per courcelles" showed that you often don't even read the AfD and the article up for deletion? I mean it doesn't make sense why someone would say keep per the admin who relisted the debate and expressed no opinion for keep or delete? Let's be honest here.

AFD vote
It was a serious vote. I seriously suggest someone checks Peter Tobin's cell to make sure the right guy is still in there. 86.174.133.79 (talk) 20:55, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
- It might be so, but its not considered to be serious vote by an established user. So I would suggest a different approach if you edit again. Cheers.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:57, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
- I'm probably being over cautious about it. But he's potentially accusing someone else of a crime which could have complicated matters if the person wasn't already behind bars. TheRetroGuy (talk) 21:16, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
- I have to agree with you. But I say lets keep his "vote" in the Afd its fact that it will not weigh in during the closing decision of the Afd anyway. As I see it its not a question anymore if Joanna Yeates article will be kept or not the Keepers have convincingly proven that Yeates article should be kept for now. Maybe someone could close it pretty soon. Cheers.--BabbaQ (talk) 21:20, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
- I see you removed it. So be it:). I have told the user that he has to give a more mature reason for Keep already.--BabbaQ (talk) 21:21, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, I've no probs with him voting, but we can't really accuse someone of murder, even if it is done in jest, and even if he has committed others. Let's leave the theories to the boys in blue. If he votes again and says something sensible like "this is a high profile case so we should keep it" then that's great and we can leave the comment in.

I'm still new to DYK, but I think the policy is to wait for a keep to be declared before giving it the go. I'd check with someone else since I'm not sure about that. -- Lord Roem (talk) 20:40, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
- OK. And when you check it please find out if he/she can find someone to perhaps if they find it OK to close the Afd. Because Keep consensus has been reached.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:41, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Frans Otto Eriksson
Hello! Your submission of Frans Otto Eriksson at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! PM800 (talk) 21:56, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
- Hello, I made a couple of passes to clean up the article at your request on my talk page (which has been archived for the passing year). Unfortunately, I am not sure if this article will qualify as new for DYK as it is a close translation of the Swedish Wikipedia article which was created last October. I will ask the reviewers at DYK if they know about the rules in this case. KimChee (talk) 11:51, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
- OK, its not a big deal but I appreciate your help KimChee. Thanks.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:49, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
- One of the DYK reviewers is open to approving this if you can verify that the ancestry/geneology reference originated from the Swedish literature listed in the Further reading section. If you could verify page numbers, then applying these into reference citation templates may satisfy this issue. KimChee (talk) 09:50, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
- Hi, I did some research with the help from a friend which wrote the page number for me. I cant personally verify those as I wasnt present but I do trust my friend. I guess its up to DYK standard now.Thanks for the help.--BabbaQ (talk) 23:24, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
- And sorry if I didnt format it right. Im not 100% into that field of the Wikipedia yet Thanks for doing it.--BabbaQ (talk) 23:52, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
- That is fine. For future reference, you do not need to repeat full publication data for every citation if the complete literary information is included at the bottom. KimChee (talk) 23:54, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

I was just wondering if you could make a comment on DYK so that the DYK nomination of the Fran Otto Erikssons gets moving and evaluated? Or that is perhaps not needed, just asking.--BabbaQ (talk) 16:31, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
- The Frans Otto Eriksson article appears to be verified now. I added my name to the nom if that is okay with you. Also, I think the Cornelius Dupree article has cleared minimum length. If you can add some more edits to expand the article further, then I will go ahead and include your name in the DYK nom for this one, too. KimChee (talk) 08:24, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
- I noticed one more minor item that you could fix on this article, though it does not affect the DYK hook ref. The first paragraph of the Crimes section appears to be missing a page number citation, if you could find that from one of your literary references. KimChee (talk) 10:21, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

WP:BLUDGEON - Joanna Yeates AfD
You should try to take that into account in that AfD. You have responded way too many votes, and as far as it seems, it is not going to change anything. Everyone has the right to vow their opinion, you shouldn't be trying to push them to think the way you do, because that is impossible. What seems funny to me, is that you pointed this very same 'policy' to Libstar in the Mike Clemente AfD, and you weren't able to respond what he actually wanted. Please, stop doing that. It's just an advice from my part. P.D. Don't take comments personally, most people want to help you, not the contrary. Diego Grez (EMSIUB) (talk) 18:54, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
- I will assume good faith to this message even though I have my doubts.--BabbaQ (talk) 18:56, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
- Because it smells strongly of a Afd Delete user (of Joanna Yeates) that isnt happy that a Keeper gives good arguments for Keep in a discussion. Please dont force your opinions on a particular Afd on me, I vote as I vote and if you dont like it its notmy problem. if you dont mind me saying.--BabbaQ (talk) 18:59, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
- It does not seems that you're assuming good faith, by contrast, you are assuming I came here for the same reason you are commenting on the AfD. I'm just giving you advice to not be annoying in an AfD. Too many comments can be seen badly from your part, not from mine. Cheers, and Happy New Year.

Agree with Diego, the amount of WP:BLUDGEON is excessive to the extreme. LibStar (talk) 07:32, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
- BabbaQ, your myriad of responses is understandable, and I support you 100%. But be careful not to let too much participation in the AfD damage the reputation of you and your work. The article you have started now looks terrific, so it'd be a shame to let too much opposition of comments spoil that. Very best wishes, Orphan Wiki 14:18, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

I would like to give you a advice if you are in the mood to make a new crime article, ten days ago DNA evidence finally officially freed Cornelius Dupree who had been in jail for 30 years for a crime that he didnt commit, he was already out when the DNA answers came. He has also been the subject of tv-documentaries because he was known to be innocent of the crime he was in prison for but the district attorney didnt want it to got to court etc etc etc.. Perhaps an interesting case. Just a suggestion.--BabbaQ (talk) 02:11, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Death of Linda Norgrove
Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know I am glad to be reviewing the article Death of Linda Norgrove you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria.

I noticed the GA review is being held up on concerns of coverage. I have been through this process a few times; do you mind if I work with you on this? KimChee (talk) 04:23, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
- No,please do! I need all the help to get this article to GA!--BabbaQ (talk) 14:13, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- Working on it. I noticed you prefer "Image:" tags over "File:" tags. :) KimChee (talk) 14:26, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, but I guess it is a matter of taste. If you feel like File then please change it back.--BabbaQ (talk) 14:26, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- That is not a big deal. I updated it to be consistent with the way you had been tagging it. KimChee (talk) 14:42, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Oba Chandler
When you are done with the Teresa Lewis edits you could perhaps take a look at the Oba Chandler article that I found very interesting. However some references seems to have been URL not found since put there. Perhaps you could check it out and help improving the already GA standard article without removing the information already there, perhaps finding sources to be put in malfunctioneds ones place. You can try if you have the time. Like your work. Thanks.--BabbaQ (talk) 14:31, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- I would even classify the Oba Chandler article as one of the better ones on Wikipedia. After reading the very interesting crime story. Perhaps with your help it could be upgraded to FA in the future.--BabbaQ (talk) 14:33, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- I will take a look when I have more time later this weekend. I have observed that FA reviews for biographical articles have been gradually becoming more rigorous. You may want to take a look at the work required in the current FA review for Ronnie Lee Gardner for comparison. KimChee (talk) 14:42, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

- I saw that a few sources from the St petersburg times are Url not found, so if you find some better sources it would be appreciated. Sources 7, 21 , 27,39, 44 and 65 plus a few more I have found to be so if that is to any help, if someone can fix it its you. Thanks.--BabbaQ (talk) 22:13, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- I marked all of the dead links to make them easier to pick out. They are mostly expired scans from Google's news archives. I had problems with this before on other articles as it is uncertain whether such sources will ever go live again. Since previous editors did mark their existence with an accessdate, the best solution I had used in the past is to treat them as offline sources in good faith. For featured article review, it will be strongly recommended to gather as much other information as possible for the offline citations, such as dates and page numbers. KimChee (talk) 23:19, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
- OK, sounds good as long as those are considered what you just explained im fine with it. So it keeps its GA status. Thanks for the help.--BabbaQ (talk) 01:04, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

DYK for Cheshire, Connecticut, home invasion murders
| On 26 November 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Cheshire, Connecticut, home invasion murders, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the 2007 home invasion murders in Cheshire, Connecticut, have been called "possibly the most widely publicized crime in the state's history"? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Disappearance of Jenni-Lyn Watson
If you could help me by improving this Disappearance of Jenni-Lyn Watson article I would be pleased. its a current crime case. Interesting.--BabbaQ (talk) 02:24, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
- I will help you on technical issues such as clean up and formatting. However, be prepared for the possibility of some resistance to notability until persistence of the case is established. KimChee (talk) 03:29, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
- I have cleaned up the article somewhat, but found that it may need to be retitled as Watson has been found. There are articles titled "Murder of ..." but those are typically used in cases where the murder conviction has been secured as defendants will sometimes opt to plea deal for the lesser charge of manslaughter. What do you think of "Death of ..." until the case is further along? I started a talk page for discussion. KimChee (talk) 10:10, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
- Yes Death of sounds good. Thank you so mutch for your help! Very mutch appreciated!--BabbaQ (talk) 12:43, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

The article Jade Ewen you nominated as a good article has failed 
; see Talk:Jade Ewen for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of said article. If you oppose this decision, you may ask for a reassessment. CrowzRSA 20:59, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
The article Death of Jenni-Lyn Watson has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- no evidence of notability
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:36, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
- In light of how quickly it appears this case is being resolved, I think you may be in for an uphill battle in Afd. If you still feel strongly about the subject, I recommend you provide a good "keep" rebuttal while saving a copy of the source. You can create WP:Workpages under your userpage space (with a
{{workpage}}disclaimer at the top) to continue working on it until a new development re-establishes notability of the case in the future. Good luck. KimChee (talk) 07:13, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi, if you have any time for it please check out the Karla Faye Tucker I have done a quick search online and also read trough the article and I believe with some improvements it can reach GA-level. So if you find any time please check it out. cheers.--BabbaQ (talk) 23:43, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
- The article has potential, but is still too short and needs to be more properly referenced for GA. I will look at it again later when I have more time. I have updated the infobox and added a fair use image for now. KimChee (talk) 20:03, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag.

Speedy deletion nomination of Linda Norgrove
A tag has been placed on Linda Norgrove requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. - 220.101 talk\Contribs 08:31, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

- I've extended your block to a week, because I think 24 hours is too lenient here. You've clearly been using at least three accounts to stack votes at ITN (if not elsewhere) and so obciously that it's almost as if you wanted to get blocked. Your actions have shown contempt for consensus and the community in a manner that I've almost never seen before. That you did this at ITN, where things are so much more laid back than in many parts of the project, makes this abuse even more shocking, which is the reason I've extended your block. I will say the following once, and once only: if you ever particiapte in the same discussion on Wikipedia under two identities, logged in or not, in an attempt to stack votes, I will block you indeifnitely and make a motion for a community ban. If I were you, I would be spending the next week reflecting on how I could regain the trust of the community, but if you attempt to evade this block, you will be met with equally stiff sanctions.

GA nomination of Murder of Sian O'Callaghan
Hi. Thanks for nominating the article for GA. Unfortunately I don't believe at this stage it is ready for the process as there is still much work to be done on it. The case is ongoing and the article's length is fairly short for a GA. My advice would be to withdraw it, do some more work, expand it and wait for further events to develop, then perhaps nominate it again in six months or so. A good idea in the meantime might be to request a peer review as this is always a useful way of getting feedback and deciding in which direction an article should go. You might also want to take a look at some similar articles which are currently GAs as these will give you some good guidelines on the type of information which should be included in the Sian O'Callaghan article. Cheers TheRetroGuy (talk) 10:13, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
- I agree with TheRetroGuy (you can see my comments at Talk:Murder of Sian O'Callaghan). I would like to add that for nominations (DYK, GA etc.) it might be courteous to notify other significant authors or editors of your intent to submit a nomination. This is especially true for Good Article nominations, which are quite a big step. However, with "Did You Know?", content editors get credited for their work and should be listed when submitting the nomination. Nominators aren't expected to credit all editors of the article, but those who have contributed a significant amount – for instance, this diff shows how I (with five edits by User:Jim Michael and two punctuation edits by you) changed the article from the original start class to pretty much what it is now, a B class. This tool may be helpful in identifying major contributors, but shows statistics on the number of edits, not on the size of content they've added, modified or removed. Thanks, matt (talk) 11:35, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
- Ok thanks for the good advice RetroGuy. I do that. Perhaps we can join forces and work on it together. Cheers.--BabbaQ (talk) 16:42, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Hello!
Hi BabbaQ, I thought I'd just pop over to your talk page and let you know that The Human Centipede (First Sequence) is currently a featured article candidate! I know it's a horrible horrible movie about terrible things, but I like to think the wikipedia article is pretty good, and it would be really cool if it made it to featured article. I'd really appreciate it if you could pop over to the review and let me know if there's anything I could do to improve the article. The review over at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/The Human Centipede (First Sequence)/archive3
And whilst I'm here, thanks for your contributions to the article and your kind comments on the talk page last month, they were really great.

Nomination of Tala Raassi for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Tala Raassi is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Divide et Impera (talk) 02:17, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

If you get the chance
I don't know if you caught my earlier suggestions, but I'd like to ask once again that you check out Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. I'm sure you make your points out of good faith, but you should know it adds nothing, and in fact really just distracts from the discussion, when your vote rationale is along the lines of "sources exist" or "simply notable".--Yaksar (let's chat) 02:15, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

I know that you have somehow edited beauty pageant articles before. At this time, the annual articles are being proposed for deletion due to lack of sources and they started to all the annual editions of Miss Earth 2001 to Miss Earth 2015.

Indo-Asian News Service
Hello, BabbaQ -- I am just finishing up copy-editing the article Devadasu (1953 film). Toward the end of the article there is a link to Indo-Asian News Service. I looked at the article to see whether there was an en-dash between "Indo" and "Asian" in the article's title, but I saw that there wasn't. There is a hyphen. I'm wondering whether it should be an en-dash. If so, I guess the title should be corrected. I don't know whether that would involve a page move. Can you look into this? If it does get changed to an en-dash, I will try to remember to change it in the Devadasu article so that it matches the article title. Corinne (talk) 01:13, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

Lena Andersson
Hi, Thanks for the message. I'm assuming you are referring to Lena Andersson (singer), which is the more recently edited one, not Lena Andersson (author), but slightly confused as neither of these articles shows your name in the edit history. If that is the right article, my advice would be first of all to try to supply plenty of careful references to published sources as it is about a living person - otherwise anything not directly referenced may well be deleted by an administrator. This is absolutely essential when writing about living people. These references need to be inline, that is to say, there should be a numbered reference at the end of any statement about the person to show where the information has come from. In these references, the format should be (first) name of the author of the writing you are referring to, if available - second, title of the article - third, title of the magazine, journal or book in which it appears - fourth, publisher - fifth, date, volume number etc, - sixth, page. (in that order). The references can easily be moved around the article by copying and pasting, and it's okay to have the same reference twice if you are referencing two different facts in different places within the article. I'm sorry I don't have any original sources of my own about this subject, nor do I know anything about her, but I hope this guidance helps? Best wishes, Eebahgum (talk) 19:30, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for your thanks! Sorry the above is quite irrelevant to your well-referenced article! Hope the slight re-wordings please you. All the best, Eebahgum (talk) 19:52, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

- BabbaQ, I'm sure you're aware of the recent history of this article. This is an advanced notice that if my c/e should be needlessly reverted (except by yourself as the requester), or I encounter multiple edit conflicts, I will abandon it. I'm aware that a partisan editor is involved here. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 20:53, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- You're doing an excellent job Baffle gab1978. I have added in citations where you have flagged that they are either non existent or non satisfactory. Please note that I am not "partisan", a term which implies that I am a supporter of one particular person or view. I support the truth as backed by evidence and court findings. I know however that Wikipedia is not a vehicle for finding truth. With regard to my contributions to Wikipedia, my only interest is in helping the article to be a neutral, factual and accurate representation of the tragic events that occurred. You have probably seen the many protestations from the pro-guilt faction, claiming that I am in fact a PR Agent for the man who was exonerated of involvement in the crime. Needless to say, their assertion is thoroughly meritless and without basis in fact, substance or evidence. It is simply the same war cry that that particular faction have repeated for nearly five years. They declare all those who disagree with their baseless claims, as being on the payroll of the exonerated man's family. Dewanifacts (talk) 12:02, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
- No worries, @Dewanifacts:; Yes, I've read through some of the text on your talk page, and that of other editors. By your username I thought you might be somehow connected to the case. I've been around WP a few years now, so I see a fair bit of POV editing. Thanks for explaining your position; I apologise my my assumption of partisanship. I remember following the case of the media, it was truly shocking. I applaud you for looking after the article, at least the semi-protection goes some way to preventing edit-wars, etc.

Edith Södergran
I finished copy-editing Edith Södergran a little while ago. I placed the GOCE template on the talk page and the "Done" template on the GOCE requests page. However, there is one thing I wasn't sure about, so I've placed a request for help on my talk page at User talk:Corinne#Text formatting question. When I get an answer, I will know whether there is anything further I need to do on the article. Corinne (talk) 02:59, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
- I got an answer to two questions I had about text formatting. (If you look at that section of my talk page to which I provided a link, above, you'll see the questions and the reply.) I was right when I remembered seeing something in MoS a while back (and the editor who responded provided the link to the pertinent part of the MoS), saying that translations of foreign language titles should appear in parentheses but with no italics and no quotation marks. So, either you or I have to go through this article and remove the quotation marks from around the English translation of all the foreign language titles. The other question was about whether the foreign language titles of Södergran's works need to be in italics. Book titles belong in italics. Regarding poem titles, it depends upon whether the poem is a long poem or a short poem. I don't feel like looking at each one of those poems to determine whether it is a long poem or a short poem. Can you take care of that? Corinne (talk) 15:08, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

A bot has now been approved for trial and will carry out the weekly duties. The bots first run will occur around 00:00, 22 November 2015 (UTC) (midnight on Sunday).
If you have been assisting any of the weekly maintenance tasks, please refrain from doing so this week. The bot needs to be tested and proven it can do the job, and it only gets one chance per week. The tasks will include:
- Adding the new scheduled article to Wikipedia talk:Today's articles for improvement and removing the entry from Wikipedia:Articles for improvement
- Set up the schedule pages for the new TAFI, except the adding of an image and caption
- Adding {{TAFI}} to the new article for improvement, remove {{TAFI}} from last week's article and add {{Former TAFI}} to the talk page
- Notify relevant WikiProjects that the new TAFI is within their scope
- Send a mass message to everyone on the notification list of the new TAFI selection
Updating the accomplishments and archiving selections is still done manually, along with daily tasks such as adding approved entries to the articles for improvement page. These will become automated in the near future.
We hope the bot proves to serve well, and by carrying out the routine housekeeping tasks we can boost the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the project. MusikBot thanks you for your service in helping with the weekly tasks in the past, and for your cooperation during this trial period :)

Disambiguation link notification for November 23
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jenny Berggren, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page TV4. 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.

Theodore Roosevelt McElroy
- There is an article in the Sweden Wikipedia on this telegraph operator. When I run it through Google translate I get the general idea. It so happens there are certain English websites on him. A good DYK hook line that would get attention is - DYK
- ...that Theodore Roosevelt McElroy set a record of the highest recorded speed at which anyone has received Morse code?
- Here is a plan. Let's set up a draft sandbox in your User Page (I can do for you) and make a draft article on this person. We will be co-editors, but you will have to do most of the work in developing the article in draft. I'll give guidance, but you will have to find the references for each paragraph. I'll make sure it is correct BEFORE it becomes a live article. Do NOT make him a stub article, as you won't have enough time to develop out the article for DYK standards. That will take a few weeks or so. I'll show you how this is done - to make a quality article that meets DYK standards. Are you interested in doing a draft article on him?--Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:34, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Michael Blanc
Hello: I have completed the copy edit you requested on the GOCE page of your article on Michael Blanc. I found that several of the references you cited were no longer accessible on the Web. I tried to find alternatives. There are still a number of statements in the article which lack citations; these are marked [citation needed]. Perhaps you will have more success that I did trying to find citations. If you're happy with the edit as it stands, please let me know and I will advise the GOCE the copy edit is complete. Kind regards, Twofingered Typist (talk) 21:21, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Twofingered Typist: - It looks good. I will try to fix the other concerns!. If you would please just add the GOCE tag to the articles talk page I would appreciate it.--BabbaQ (talk) 21:40, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Twofingered Typist: -If you want to, you can take a look at my other article that I added to GOCE, Christine Schürrer.--BabbaQ (talk) 21:45, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
Christine Schürrer Copy Edit
Hello BabbaQ: I have finished my copy edit of Christine Schürrer and have the following suggestions:
These are Dead links: 1, 3 (possibly), 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 15. You will need to find new citations for all.
“Early life” section has no citations at all. Most of the “Murders and Arrest” section is not cited. Why is the ex-boyfriend not named?
I think that this section from “Murders and arrest” should be merged into the” Early life” section but you need dates to establish the right order.
“ Schürrer arrived in Sweden during the summer of 2007 and settled in Södermalm, in central Stockholm. She later found an apartment in Skarpnäck, a suburb of Stockholm. During this period Schürrer tried to commit suicide for a third time.[1] She was admitted to Södersjukhuset hospital with only minor cuts on her arms and was later released. She had previously tried to commit suicide because she felt betrayed by a Swedish man leaving her after a two-week romance in Greece.”
You write: “…preliminary investigations become publicly available the moment a lawsuit is filed” but there is no mention on a lawsuit in the article. Do you mean that material is publicly available once someone is charged with a crime?
You don’t explain how the police came to view Schürrer as a suspect, nor is there any explanation of her defense.
I hope my suggestions to improve the article are helpful. I'll advise the GOCE that the copy edit is complete.

I think you made a typo when you nominated this, because the title was spelt "Karla Fay Tycker". I fixed it. Regards, --Rubbish computer 18:15, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
Very Active
@BabbaQ: I see you have created 679 articles. Boy are you active! --Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:05, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
@BabbaQ: With some 41,000 edits = more than me.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:08, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
@BabbaQ: - you do know where I found these, oui? --Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:10, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Doug Coldwell: - Yes, I have seen that I have a tendency to create many shorter articles and a few longer ones as well. Focusing mainly on entertainment/Swedish bios. Oh, yes I am quite active on WP, I was not aware that I had many so many edits. Interesting :) And now that the winter is coming .. I guess I will be spending plenty of time at WP :)--BabbaQ (talk) 21:13, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
- No, I have never seen that page before. But it is interesting with statistics!--BabbaQ (talk) 21:16, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
@BabbaQ: - you can check your "Edit count" at the bottom when you click on your "contributions" , as well as your "Articles created" . --Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:25, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
Citation Tool
- Here is a very handy citation tool I use all the time.
- Put a shortcut on your desktop for quick access. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 22:03, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
- I'll be glad to answer any questions on how to use this tool. For one use "sfn|author_last_name|year|page = number" with open brackets and closed brackets at the end of the article paragraph (or sentence) for inline ref. In the long run, not only is it faster for a reference, but it is more accurate. Another hint is to drop the Google Book URL in and hit "Make citation". When you get the author's name, move his last name to "last name" and his first to "first name". Erase out the number in "Page number". Click on "Make citation" to get your new updated reference. Then take out "ref" and "/ref". Put "*" in front of {{Cite book". Copy that complete citation and put in article under "Source" = done deal! Look closely at what I do.
- Now your articles will look real pretty and be fully referenced. If you need further help, let me know.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:26, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
Hobby
- Found Hobby on the list Wikipedia:Articles for improvement. That's a picture of me I put in the article some time back. Just now made an improvement to the article using this Citation Tool = comes in handy.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 22:16, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
- I was put on the Front page of the local town paper some time back, because of my "hobby." --Doug Coldwell (talk) 22:21, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Doug Coldwell: - OK nice. I will take a look at that. Oh,yes I see your local celebrity, that is cool. :)--BabbaQ (talk) 05:50, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
Mary-Ann
You will have to wonder where I got that picture of "Mary-Ann." I didn't get it from Gilligan. A little trick is to write to libraries of Universities (or libraries of cities) and you never know what you might get = just takes time.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 22:12, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
- Nice. I like the article. --BabbaQ (talk) 05:51, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
- Your background must be something to do with electro-mechanical. If you will notice, when I created the article and the associated article Hartford Electric Light Company they were ready to go for a DYK nomination. I always submit an article for DYK nomination on the day I have created it. That way it is only 1 day old. It always qualifies because I already have worked it out in a draft BEFORE I made it live. I make it 3000+ characters in draft --Doug Coldwell (talk) 09:15, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

- @Doug Coldwell: - That is alright. Oh, Michigan, would be nice to travel to the US one day. --BabbaQ (talk) 23:40, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
- @BabbaQ: - We have been all over the United States. Lived in Southern California for 20 years - very nice, but expensive. Michigan is nice and inexpensive - so we retired here in Northern Michigan, where there is lots of snow in the winter. We have what is called lake effect snow because we are on Lake Michigan here in Ludington, Michigan. Wonderful Spring, Summer and Fall however here in Ludington.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:44, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
- @BabbaQ: - suspect you are a little younger than me - because of the beautiful women articles you edit and create. It is 7:45 in the morning here.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:44, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Doug Coldwell: - I am 29 :) Thank you for reviewing my DYKs. Anyway, it is always interesting to see data on which users creates the most DYKs :)--BabbaQ (talk) 16:45, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
- Note the first 3 on this list - will talk to you about them later.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 16:11, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
- These are the top 3 producers of DYK = 3 smartest people on Wikipedia as far as I am concerned! Here is a little info on each.
- 1) Dr. Blofeld (1611 DYKs) is from Whales. I have worked with him for years.
- He is the one that gave me the Citation Tool. Highly recommend using it.
- 2) NVVchar (1295 DYKs) is from India - "Char" is a person I communicate with often and we have worked together on many articles.
- He is the one that gave me "The Good Friend Award" that is on my User Page.
- 3) Rosiestep (1259 DYKs) is the one that made the remark on my Talk Page about Woman's World's Fair.
- She did some editing and improvements on Woman's World's Fair that I created.
- She came to my defense (as did Dr. Blofeld) when I was accused of belonging to Shelby Gem Factory.
- 1) Dr. Blofeld (1611 DYKs) is from Whales. I have worked with him for years.
- I'll never catch up to them, but I sure do learn a lot from them.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:32, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
- These 3 operate at a much higher level. They are not lazy and do all the work themselves. They have the skills to out-perform all other Wikipedians - which they learned themselves. They are the ones to emulate. Watch close what they do as they have many DYKs and Good Articles and Featured Articles experience.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 17:27, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
Time
It is 5:00 P.M. (1700 hrs) here in Ludington, Michigan. What time is it in Sweden in your city? Apparently I am minus 4 for my local time from UTC. I think yours' is plus 2, so 5 P.M. for me is 11 P.M. for you = 6 hours difference - yes? --Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:00, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Do you Flickr as I do. I have 30,000 pictures in 600 Albums. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:26, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Hints
- Preparation (an article I created) is a principle I go by.
- A good hint is to have your email address in your "preferences" area.
- I like to have a minimum of 3 articles that link to my new article.
- I like to have at least 3 Categories for an article. See my latest article.
- You can of course borrow any of my Userboxes I have at the bottom of my User Page. Just copy the template.
- You can of course borrow any Userboxes from anybody elses User Pages - whichever ones look interesting to you.
- When you do a draft in your own sandbox (red linked initially) and are all done THEN wikify the name of your new article in another article. Then copy it into this new red link of this other article = it turns blue. Edit summary will be "New article". Now you have at least 1 article your article links from.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:50, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
- Besides using Userboxes for your User Page like what User:GoingBatty does, you can put on your User Page your DYKs like what User:7&6=thirteen does.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:12, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
- Actually, I haven't put most of them on my user page. I should, but they are buried in my talk page archives and I have not found the energy. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 11:16, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Doug Coldwell: - Oh, thank you for all your help. I will take it all into consideration. :)--BabbaQ (talk) 18:31, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
English
Your native tongue is then Swedish. Your English is perfect and had me fooled. My wife was born in Groningen, Netherlands, but immigrated to the United States when thirteen. I do NOT know any other languages, but just run everything through Google Translate for electronic text.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:45, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Doug Coldwell: - Yes, Swedish is my native tongue. Oh, thank you so much. Well I try my best, in Sweden it is obligatory to learn English from an early age in school. So Swedes usually are good at the English language :)--BabbaQ (talk) 18:32, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
DYK for Ester Claesson
| On 14 September 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ester Claesson, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

GoingBatty (talk) 01:30, 15 September 2015 (UTC)- Added links at Paul Schultze-Naumburg and Joseph Maria Olbrich and The Studio (magazine) - so now it links from 3 articles (See "What links here").--Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:53, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

Housing
We lived in San Diego, California for 20 years = very expensive all the way around. Housing is about 10 times what it is in Ludington, Michigan. In California for 20 years I was a Real Estate Broker and sold REOs, which are bank foreclosures. My basic training after High School was as an electronic's technician repairing large computers (not PCs).--Doug Coldwell (talk) 16:50, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
- What type of work do you do?--Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:10, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, San Diego seems to be a nice city, OK so it is expensive. Much like Stockholm, the real estate is very expensive and overall in Sweden the real estate is very expensive actually :). I work at a kindergarten, as a servicea ssistant so I work both with the children and then some administrative work. Like it! Was it an interesting job being a real estate broker?--BabbaQ (talk) 18:35, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
- It was indeed a very fun job, but very very hard. I did it for about 20 years. I even gave seminars. One of the things that made it very interesting is that I had a specialty - bank foreclosures. Many times I negotiated directly with the bank president or vice president in a transaction for a buyer I represented. The banks were the largest banks in Califorina (i.e. Home Savings, Citibank, Well Fargo Bank). Then what made it really interesting was that I bought for myself crème de la crème properties (i.e. 20%-40% below the market). I owned several houses in Southern California (San Diego County). My wife and I fixed up the houses and re-sold then for a profit. Now-a-days they have TV programs on this with titles like "Flip this House" - except we did the same idea in the 1980s.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:19, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

Was it an interesting job being a real estate broker?--BabbaQ (talk) 18:35, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
- Although the work was extremely hard, my income was more than most lawyers and doctors. Then I went and spent it all - going on Club Med trips to the Mexico, Caribbean and Tahiti.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:23, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
- --Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:16, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, hard work and then the good life. Or do you regret spending it all? Oh, I would love to get a job one day with a heavy pay. I am not poor by any means but that extra little push into the big pay would be nice :)--BabbaQ (talk) 18:03, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Doug Coldwell:.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:27, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
- @BabbaQ: - Do not regret spending it all. If I had it to do all over again = I would do it all over again! BTW, one of those trips to Tahiti (3 total) was for 5 weeks through many additional South Pacific islands. Hint - be a perfectionist at whatever job you do and do it with honesty. One thing leads to another - it is like a springboard, as then you will get a better paying job because others recognize your excellence. Learned this through Brian Tracy. He lives in Solana Beach, California = a city I also lived in. I also lived in Del Mar, California = an upper class very expensive neighborhood. This is that house. Notice the price on the purchase agreement I paid for the house when I bought it. Google it for the latest sale on the same house.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:11, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
- @BabbaQ: the correct house number is "13738" as I writed out the "1" before I uploaded to Flickr.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:19, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
- @BabbaQ: - here is where it gets really interesting about this house. When I was buying the house I had $25,700 in commissions coming from them back from previous sales. So what happened is that it did NOT cost me any cash out of my pocket to buy the house and they paid me $2,224 at the close of the transaction and I received the house. When I resold it later I made a huge profit.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:25, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
- @BabbaQ: - when you Google the latest sale you will see it sold for 10 times what I paid for it. This transaction is by later owners, as I had already sold it many years before. The profit I made on this house was more money than most people earn in a lifetime.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:34, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Doug Coldwell: - You are awesome :) Very lucrative. Nice.--BabbaQ (talk) 08:29, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
There are no articles linked to this one = orphan (could be pulled). Link from Allsång på Skansen as an example. Also in Furuvik under "Notable people". Maybe at ZTV under "See also". It needs articles to link to it.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:06, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
- Put it into List of drag queens, but there should be at least another article it links from - See "What links here" in left Panel.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 22:17, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
- Hi BabbaQ! I used Find link to link the article to After Dark (drag act), Ven a bailar conmigo, and Melodifestivalen 2011. This is one of the many tools I use when you ask me to look at an article. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 12:17, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

- @Doug Coldwell: - You are welcome. You helped me, so you are worth some credit :)--BabbaQ (talk) 17:27, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
- @BabbaQ: - That's one thing I learned in life. If you help others, it comes back - sometimes many times over!--Doug Coldwell (talk) 18:51, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
For your User Page you can start with several Userboxes that show who you are and what your interests are. From there you can personalize your User Page with additional things.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:33, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
Don't be lazy
One thing I learned when I was in real estate was not to be lazy. I did all the fixing up on houses myself. I ran my real estate firm out of my house. I learned the sales techniques myself. I became very good at selling real estate. My income was ten times that of the average real estate salesperson. Sales can be a very lucrative field, IF you learn the sales techniques. In fact I am convinced it is the highest paying job there is, IF you know the skills. I only have a high school education, but I learned sales techniques and had the income of lawyers and doctors.
 | The Law of attraction has magnetic power to this user |
I learned to do everything myself and do not rely on others to do the work. My mother taught me "God helps those that help themselves." If you work real hard at something then the Universe will provide the skills for you to complete the task. This is one of my Userboxes.--11:07, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
- How do you think that Dr. Blofeld, NVVchar, and Rosiestep (the top 3) learned the Wikipedia skills they have? They did NOT go to Wikipedia University in Stockholm. They learned the skills themselves and are NOT lazy. They put extra effort in and the Universe provide the skills to them. These skills were not just handed to them - they earned them!--Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:49, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Doug Coldwell: - So true. Amen,--BabbaQ (talk) 13:25, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
- When you try real hard THEN you set up the "vibes" to get the answers and skills you need.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:14, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
- When you try real hard THEN you are setting up universal electromagnetic "vibes" and you attract the answers and skills you need. Trust me on this one and you will gain much = a shortcut in life that others do not usually do. You will springboard ahead of others with great ideas. When you are at these higher levels, then things are easier and take less time overall. Here is my proof.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:37, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
- What will really get people's attention is to do more than your fair share. Then you get extra help from the top people and things get easier yet with a greater overall accomplishment. The proof for this is the accomplishment of the top DYK producers.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:07, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
I see on this article that most paragraphs do NOT have an inline reference. So I ask myself, "How did that happen?" One should never put something in an article unless it came from a source. So, if its in an article - the information came from somewhere. So then whoever put in the information should also put in the reference source. A paragraph should never come with no reference. Use my latest article for an example how references should be done. All paragraphs have a reference at the end - many have references within the paragraph. When I see someone put in information in an article I am "watching" and there is no reference, I just simply remove the information (edit summery is "no reference for material"). Here is an opportunity for you to learn some great Wikipedia skills of referencing - chase down where each reference source is for all the paragraphs not referenced. If you put in the effort, then the Universe will give you the answers and skills. Now as an old man I should know this = its worked for me. Trust me on this one!--Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:34, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
- There are no secret shortcuts to life. If there were, then everybody would be doing them = then the "norm" and no longer shortcuts.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:59, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
- My advice is to get a reference for each of the paragraphs in this article.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 21:57, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
- The shortcuts in life are the methods and skills to do something properly.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:07, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
- Don't forget - this is an opportunity for you to learn some great Wikipedia skills of referencing from the University of Wikipedia in Stockholm (assuming this is where you are at).--Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:23, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Vagina Grande
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Vagina Grande requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. - McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 14:09, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
Afd Johan Matton
Hi BabbaQ Thanks for taking time to review the article Johan Matton and your comment ""Keep"" in the deletion discussion has been relisted and it would be great since you already took the time to read through the article if you wanted to post your verdict again under the relisting section since the above will be ignored. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Johan_Matton_(3rd_nomination) Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:F1E6:ED00:A65E:60FF:FECF:3F73 (talk) 19:23, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
You're welcome
I'm glad you liked the article. I must confess that so far, I haven't seen either the Disappeared episode (it's not available for free, unlike Disappearance of Leah Roberts, where the corresponding episode can be viewed for free on YouTube, which benefited the article) or Ben's Vortex. But I will at some point, obviously because it's necessary to improve the article as otherwise allegations made in both of those productions are sort of covered only secondhand in otherwise reliable sources.
I do plan to do more of these (I had liked the response to Sneha Anne Philip and Disappearance of Rebecca Coriam, neither of which was on Disappeared, although they could well have been if that program continued, and when I hit a soft spot in my workflow where I didn't have many fresh pictures of National Register of Historic Places listings to start or improve articles on, I turned to more missing persons cases (see, also, Lloyd Gaines) to fill my itinerarial void (as well as other Unsolved Mysteries-type articles tied to anniversaries like Death of Elisa Lam, which unfortunately did not run on the appropriate anniversary date this year (but still got a lot of hits when it did as there is a lot of interest in the case). For less fresh cases, I prefer to wait till zero- or five-year anniversary dates, as those tend to generate more interest (and, of course, there is the faint hope that having a Wikipedia article might help generate the tip that solves the case somewhere). And it keeps these from overwhelming my workload. Daniel Case (talk) 23:19, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Your message
Thank you for your message of 12:24 UTC on 28 July. I am afraid that I seriously doubt that merely ignoring that user's behaviour is likely to be a practical long term option, as, in view of the degree of persistence he has already shown, I seriously doubt that it will ever subside. Quite frankly, I think he probably needs to be permanently blocked, as I don't expect any other solution to work. I apologise for the lateness of my reply. James500 (talk) 20:29, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
Article "Malena Ernman" copy edit
Hey there, I've been working on your copy edit request for the article Malena Ernman. I'm doing the best I can to make the "Operas" and "Concerts" sections more clearly written, but honestly they really, really need references. It would be best to have a reference for each performance (detailing where the performance was and with whom she performed), but at the very least these sections need a reference to a list of her significant roles, or something. I think this is necessary for the Biographies of Living Persons requirements, and it would also help me understand the information better. The best way to rewrite this section would be to present the roles chronologically (it seems like some of them are mentioned twice, and I can't tell if it's a duplicate or if she actually performed them on two separate occasions). Any sources you can add to verify and give detail on her performances would be greatly appreciated. —2macia22 (talk) 20:00, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

I have also added the link to the page on Swedish Wikipedia on the side, this is easy to do if you ever need to do it in the future.
I work a lot with foreign sources, and in the citations, I find it helps to include the fields |language= and |trans_title = . In the field |trans_title = you write the title of the work translated into English. This can help for people who are interested in the subject, but may not know the foreign language, to understand the subject a little bit more.
Thanks for asking for help, makes me feel very advanced! '''tAD''' (talk) 20:00, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- Another thing, your user page is a bit...tidy? You might feel it helps your relations with other users to include userboxes for your skills and areas of expertise. I include my languages, contributions (DYK, GA) and areas of activity. Some other users include their beliefs on sensitive subjects, which I find counter-productive, as it can leave them open to accusations of bias. '''tAD''' (talk) 20:07, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

Another Svea
Good work on Holknekt, Babba! Incidentally, to me, the Svea is above all the polar explorer S. A. Andrée's first hydrogen balloon.[17] Yes, I may well be the only person alive who has heard of that Svea, it's a deeply obscure thing — it didn't even take him anywhere near the North Pole — but I immersed myself up to the neck in that stuff when I wrote the article on Andrée's polar expedition, so I remember it indelibly. :-) Andrée used the name Svea for reasons of typical late 19th-century patriotism. Why Holknekt used it for his magazine, well... beats me. Bishonen | talk 22:58, 20 June 2015 (UTC).

Eurovision
Thanks. I think winner should be featured on main page with adding of it being 60th event. as for predictions, I personally think Italy will win. It is a huge song. 1. Italy 2. Sweden 3. Belgium 4. Russia 5. Australia 6. Spain Australia's Guy Sebastian will also score very high as well simply because they are for the first time. But my personal favourites (will not win I'm sure) are Azerbaijan's Elnur Hüseynov, Armenia's Genealogy, Israel's golden boy Nadav Guedj and particularly Montenegro's Knez whose song "Adio" is just wonderful. These stand out as melodic, exotic and simply beautiful. Other favourites of mine are Cyprus (Karayiannis), Latvia's Aminata, and oh so dear to my heart UK's gorgeous song by Electro Velvet. werldwayd (talk) 18:20, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

- SWEDEN won!! So happy.--BabbaQ (talk) 23:22, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
- What makes it even more impressive is that this is the sixth win for Sweden after just three years with Loreen winning with that fabulous song. Måns Zelmerlöw was so deserving to win. werldwayd (talk) 12:33, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

Kosovo
BabbaQ, Kosovo was removed several times from Eurovision Song Contest 2016 per basis of WP:Twitter, and the fact Project Eurovision agreed that Twitter as sources are a severe WP:REDFLAG avoidance in the eyes of Wikipedia. As I pointed out at User talk:Jjj1238#Kosovo, Wiwibloggs use the headline "rumour mill" which makes it WP:CRYSTAL speculation. The wording in the tweet is dubious in itself. Just so we are clear: I actually KNOW #Kosovo will participate in next years @Eurovision #ESC2016 event. I can’t tell you how yet though
. Perhaps Kosovo are looking to be an interval act, like Australia were in 2013 and 2014. Or Kosovo are sending a singer to participate for Albania again. The tweet is just too ambiguous and making an exceptional claim. Even WP:Twitter discourages the use of them as sources. Wes Mouse | T@lk 23:19, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
- Would you be able to do me (and Project Eurovision) a huge favour too? Keep an eye out for edits from a serial-sockpuppet? At first we though RebeccaTheAwesomeXD (talk · contribs) was the sockmaster, upon discovery of RebeccaTheMegaAwesome (talk · contribs). But is has recently been revealed that Red Plastic 12000 (talk · contribs) is in fact her original sock-master, and she has also evaded blocks by editing as 98.225.189.19 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). All except the IP are now indef blocked, but I'm keeping an eye out on edits of articles that she has contributed towards from all 4 accounts. Time to put an end to the socking once and for all.

DYK
Hi, thanks for your message on my talk page regarding a QPQ before the article I nominated, Sheila Florance, would be accepted. I wasn't clear about this. I was under the impression I didn't have to as it was my first DYK, I am quite happy to do a review, but again I wasn't sure that it was 'good form' to do so, until I had 5 DYKs accepted. Please, any guidance willing accepted! More than happy to start helping reviewing at DYK, but not sure if my contributions would yet be valid. Poltair (talk) 18:45, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

MF
I will watch it direct tomorrow. It is on much earlier time in Montreal in the afternoon. By the way, I have watched MF for 7 years and almost always was wrong in predicting the result except for "Euphoria" that I predicted will win. That was the only time. I just hated last year's Sanna Nielsen's "Undo" as I told you it was a mediocre song and just loved Yohio in "Heartbreak Hotel]". But Sanna won and did quite well even in final voting in Eurovision. But absolute favourite from recent years was strangely enough Swingfly with "and My Drum]" , a very sexy lyrics song. I also adored Behrang Miri's "Dansa Sawa]". He had a great video with it. I would love Jon Henrik Fjällgren to win, a wonderful tune, plus that he is Colombian who was adopted by the Sanni, so even more exotic to represent Sweden. I just adored him when I saw him Talang Sverige last year. Except that his song doesn't have much lyrics in the song, does it... Just a few words in Swedish or Sanni I am not sure. Plus his stage presentation is just awful. He should change these flying angels.... or whatever they are. He did a video which was so much nicer here. Anyway we will see after voting. werldwayd (talk) 21:10, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
- Here we go in just 20 minutes. I am already tuned in for final to start at 8 pm. This will probably be my 8th year I am watching it. werldwayd (talk) 18:38, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
- Måns Zelmerlöw: Heroes was clearly the favourite with almost all international juries as well, which tells you it was appealing internationally. Now announcers need to know how to pronounce his seemingly impossible name... I bet 9 times out of ten they'll still get it wrong. werldwayd (talk) 18:37, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
Swedish in Irish Eurosong
I forgot to tell you about Erika Selin. She was in the elimination rounds for Eurovision for Ireland with the song with "Break Me Up". In the song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvNqOFtopsg you see also guitarist Cecilia Kallin from Timoteij who had sung "Kom" years ago. The other guitarist is her brother Charles Kallin. It finished third for Irish entry. werldwayd (talk) 21:24, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi BabbaQ,
I looked over the article Tina Leijonberg that you created. I did just some general copyediting and fixed a couple of typos. I had a question about two items. When you mention "singer at Stockholms stadsteater" is stadsteater the name of the theater? If so that should be capitalized, and you would need an apostrophe between m and s in Stockholms. Also the word "balet", is that the way the word is spelled there? I noticed in the name of the school it has the same spelling. (Balettakademien in Gothenburg) If so that is fine. The article was well done and nicely referenced. Please do let me know if you have any more articles that you would like me to look over. Thanks, and have a great Sunday!

Thank you for asking me to look at this article. I do not have time to do a full review, but thought I would make a brief reply here. It's an interesting well-referenced article, and I'm not sure how far you want to take it. To me it would be more interesting if the Life section were split into, say, a Life section (for description) and one in which the diagnosis was discussed further, say, Medical diagnosis (for discussion). And some of the paragraphs are a bit short and could be merged. In addition the whole article could do with a copyedit. I hope you make good progress with it. --Peter I.

- I see you added though WikiProject Criminal Biography to David Jassy. But I happen to love David Jassy's work a lot, I mean a loooot, be it in Navigators or in music production work as a Swedish artist. His work particularly with Darin is so precious. I remember the charity song produced by him and hauntingly sung by Darin about bullying called "What If" or the Darin song where Jassy raps Just check the wonderful "Karma". Yes adding to David Jassy WikiProject Criminal Biography was correct, but it pained me so much. I think of him as a great artist and not what he committed at one sad moment of his life. After all, he should be judged by his work mostly. Actually another link to the wonderful "Karma" by Darin and David Jassy is Ilya KnocDown. I smile because I created a page for Ilya KnocDown, a Swedish Iranian producer very early on, and a colleague deleted it as Ilya deemed not notable. But I am delighted it has been reinstated since as Ilya Salmanzadeh by somebody else with far greater success now. By the way, I remember Ilya worked also with Mohombi, another Swedish talent. So on that mentioning of Mohombi, I dedicate to you a song that is becoming a true international success called "Habibi (I Need Your Love" by Shaggy, Mohombi, the Lebanese Australian Faydee and Romanian Costi...

Feel free to assess/reassess yourself!
Hello BabbaQ! If articles have been expanded, it would be better if you update the project assessment ("class") yourself rather than to remove the assessment done. There's definitely no "WP:COI" in this. A significant expansion will usually mean +1 class, although stub -> C may also happen. The reason why I point this out is that there's a backlog of thousands of untagged articles for WP:Sweden which I see as higher priority do deal with than reassessments, for those of us who focus on assessment and project tagging.

Hi
I will certainly take a look at that. Meanwhile I dedicate to you "Jul Jul Strålande Jul". I know there are so many versions of this song. But I chose a version from a young Swedish singer I truly appreciate called Jonathan Fagerlund. You can find it here here. Merry Christmas. By the way, if you really know that I created the English Wikipedia page of Jul, jul, strålande jul after hearing it from Jonathan. I was out of my mind when I discovered we had no article on this beautiful song. So I created it. Check editing history on 10 December 2011... werldwayd (talk) 01:06, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Just a thought
BabbaQ, I can see your outrage. I feel your pain
We all know that DYK has gotten very picky. One contributor deals with this by creating his articles in his sandbox for weeks, and thus his taking it mainstream and beginning the seven day nomination window is almost anticlimactic. Rather than being defensive about all this—your record speaks for itself—it might be best just to internalize the lessons so that it all goes smoothly in the future.

Leaving
Hey Babba, just a quick note to let you know I am considering quitting Wikipedia. I love editing on here and feel that I shouldn't go; but after the way I've been treated, spoken to, and devious tactics from a user, I have decided to consider whether I should continue here or just allow the bullies to push excellent contributors out of the Wikipedian world. It is a shame that people can be like that and are using stealth bullying methods so that they don't becomes noticed and force editors to quit. Who knows what will happen. Wes Mouse | T@lk 13:24, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
- @Wesley Mouse:My first reaction to this is NO. Do not leave Wikipedia. Other users at times will always try to push each others buttons, and I think it would be a loss for the project if you left. So either ignore your "enemies" or take a week/month off Wikipedia, when you return I can promise you will feel better. I have also been the "victim" of hounding but I will never back down to what those kind of users thinks or does. I hope you will stay! Let me know when you decide so I know what happens to you my friend.--BabbaQ (talk) 13:34, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
- If only it was that easy. This is prime example of what I mean. Wes Mouse | T@lk 13:55, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
- I see your point. But still, in my opinion you should stay. And I do hope you decide not to leave Wikipedia!--BabbaQ (talk) 13:58, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
- It is of pedantic behaviour, in a way. The repeated "I said no" tactic, the accusation of canvass, which an uninvolved user also noted it was not canvassing. Then their closing down of an active debate at WT:ESC, clearly demonstrating their pushy-pointy "I don't like you" ownership. Then the repeated threats of "well go to ANI then" - why people make remarks like that, makes one to raise their eyebrow and ponder hidden motives. I even made a polite request to allow the project's RFC to run its course, seeing as it is also covering templates; but no; the logical RfC that had been in progress for the last 2 week is irrelevant, and their way of mass-delete everything is supercilious. Sickens me, it really does. I will be without internet access anyway for a couple of days, so no doubt my archives and contribution history will be trawled through, and notes kept on them. Something needs to be done before the sly stealth tactics get too carried away with folk, and ultimately scare off genuine hard workers. Keep an eye on your back too, because I know now they will start to "hound" you after your post at the TfD. Wes Mouse | T@lk 14:25, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

I've been pushed way too far now, and so I've quit. Just been called a "she", a "liar", and that the RfC is now "a canvassing to close the TfDs". Can't be doing with these kind of bully Wikipedians. Sooner or later they will trip themselves up and karma will bite their asses hard. Been nice knowing you Babba, and who knows I might return. Wes Mouse | T@lk 18:05, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
Good news, BabbaQ - I've decided to stay after all, I won't be pushed out by no man. Well, I couldn't leave such a brilliant editor behind now, could I?Wes Mouse | T@lk 01:51, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
- Good news to get :) I have myself been away for a few days on personal business so this is just awesome. No do not let yourself get pushed off Wikipedia. When you let someone do that, that person has "won". Bullying is not OK in real life and is not online either. Anyway welcome back @Wesley Mouse:!.--BabbaQ (talk) 18:19, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you; it is nice to be back. I felt I couldn't leave you behind, plus I had started a super-rfc at WT:EURO which is still active. Leaving now while that was in full swing would be a wrong move to make. I also stumbled upon a shocking discovery regarding an editor who actually has an ArbCom ban when it comes to discussing infoboxes. Not sure if I should escalate it further, or leave it be and hope someone else stumbles upon the same discovery. Wes Mouse | T@lk 18:22, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
- @Wesley Mouse:, I would have personally told an admin or similar about your discovery. It seems important enough to "escalate it". Yes, Wikipedia would have lost a useful editor if you had left us for good :)--BabbaQ (talk) 18:25, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

- Great work! And thank you for sharing!--BabbaQ (talk) 22:32, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
- May I recommend that you nominate them for DYK. Or atleast articles that you will create in the future, because you are doing a really good job my friend!--BabbaQ (talk) 22:34, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
- Most of my articles relate to history of many years ago and sometimes hundreds of years ago. The secret of getting a quality article for potential DYK is to work it out in a sandbox draft first. Pretend it is an article and anticipate all the potential objections and problems = then solve them BEFORE anybody sees them. Work it all out ahead of time BEFORE you make the article live. It generally takes me 2 -4 weeks of preparation to work out articles like these above, done in sandbox drafts. Get all the references, sources, and newspaper clippings ahead of time. ILL books are an example. IPL is another example. Good luck on future articles with these new hints.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 22:51, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
- To get an idea what kind of research preparation I do, check out the videos below my picture on my User Page. I do a lot of work up front so there will be little problems when the article becomes live. As you will notice my main research is hard cover books through the I.L.L. system. My second best resource is Internet Public Library. The next best source for good references are the Library of Congress and the Bodleian Library. Notice I have an inline reference (if not 2-3) per sentence on my articles. Here is a front page newspaper article that was written up on my Wikipedia activity in my town here in Ludington, Michigan.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:59, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
- My list of Did You Know articles is proof that the above research preparation works well.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:13, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
- All my articles I create become DYKs = main motivation for writing it up in the first place, which gives it quality.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:19, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
- Some get very high views when they become DYKs, like this one, and then are entered into the DYK Hall of Fame STATS. My plague doctor hook received over 44,000 views.
- I have had records for the most articles in a DYK hook, here and here and here = which shows the importance of preparation and in depth research.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:54, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
- Do you see the benefits in doing research in preparation for a quality article, especially a DYK?--Doug Coldwell (talk) 22:28, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
- The T-shirt I am wearing Wikipedia sent me. The video I talk about doing 5 articles on reinforced concrete as you know turned out to be a 6-in-1 DYK = six articles in the same hook line. Since there was much research and preparation done for the articles, they turned out to be quality articles (IMHO).--Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:43, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
- To get an idea what kind of research preparation I do, check out the videos below my picture on my User Page. I do a lot of work up front so there will be little problems when the article becomes live. As you will notice my main research is hard cover books through the I.L.L. system. My second best resource is Internet Public Library. The next best source for good references are the Library of Congress and the Bodleian Library. Notice I have an inline reference (if not 2-3) per sentence on my articles. Here is a front page newspaper article that was written up on my Wikipedia activity in my town here in Ludington, Michigan.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:59, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
- Most of my articles relate to history of many years ago and sometimes hundreds of years ago. The secret of getting a quality article for potential DYK is to work it out in a sandbox draft first. Pretend it is an article and anticipate all the potential objections and problems = then solve them BEFORE anybody sees them. Work it all out ahead of time BEFORE you make the article live. It generally takes me 2 -4 weeks of preparation to work out articles like these above, done in sandbox drafts. Get all the references, sources, and newspaper clippings ahead of time. ILL books are an example. IPL is another example. Good luck on future articles with these new hints.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 22:51, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
- May I recommend that you nominate them for DYK. Or atleast articles that you will create in the future, because you are doing a really good job my friend!--BabbaQ (talk) 22:34, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
- Great work! And thank you for sharing!--BabbaQ (talk) 22:32, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

- Angharad ferch Owain, wife of a king of Gwynedd in Wales.

DYK review
Hi BabbaQ: You missed a couple of things when you did the review at Template:Did you know nominations/2014 Colorado student protests on November 5. For one thing, the article was a bit stale by then and did not say the protests were "currently" happening. The last reference was from October 3. I've changed it to past tense on the Main Page. For another, you didn't notice that the title was a redirect, and apparently did not look at the article's history. The nominator had actually created a different article on the same topic, which he later redirected to that one (and that one had later been moved to a different title). So you actually reviewed work by different editors; I have now given DYK credit to those who did the most work on the article. One of the DYK requirements is newness, so you should always look at the article history when reviewing an article for DYK. There is rarely such a complicated situation as this, but in future if you spot that other editors have done substantial work on a nominated article, please mention that in your review or simply add credit templates for them; nominators don't always know how to add more people, or more editors do substantial work on an article between nomination and review.

Hi Babba!
I've been working on another of your copy-editing requests. I'm sorry I wasn't around to help out with the other article earlier in the month; I'm busy at work and have been too tired to do much on the site for a few weeks. I did Death of Sigrid Schjetne but there was a question I had over the inclusion/relevancy of a link to Missing White Woman Syndrome on the page and wondered whether there might need to be expansion in the article on how the case relates to that particular phenomenon. Thanks! LS1979 (talk) 13:09, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
Alice Gross
This case has been in the news for a few weeks now, so I was kind of wondering when it would appear on Wikipedia. I think it will probably pass the notability test because of the coverage, but think we should look carefully at what information we add while any legal proceedings are ongoing.

Proposed deletion of Twitterature

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -G.A.WILMBROKE [ USER / ALT / TALK / CONTRIBS ] 20:34, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
- Hi BabbaQ, it should be safe now. Two of us did competing expansions/rewrites, and I've dropped a note to the tagging person. However, next time please consider drafting it in user space and not mainspacing it until it has references and enough detail to demonstrate that it's an encyclopedic topic. Also, I hate to say this, but if you beg more than one person for emergency help, they - we - are liable to get in each others' way. Consider asking just one, or including in the message the fact that you asked more than one person. I dropped everything to go and save this article and then after my first edit was constantly conflicting with someone else you had asked who has a very different idea of what the article should look like in English.

It's great news, but there could be a problem. Another editor has expressed their concern to me via email about the number of Daily Mail references used in the article. They're worried it could cause a storm when the article appears on the front page. I've said that I'll attempt to change them for better ones, but it may not be possible to replace them all. I wondered if you might be able to help with this, and perhaps ask one or two others to look for stuff. Sources we need are from publications like BBC News, The Guardian, The Independent, The Telegraph and Sky News. Thanks, This is Paul (talk) 22:22, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, certainly. But on the other hand let's bring the storm on, if users have a problem with the article then they will be able to address it when it appears. And I think most of the sources are replaceable. And no reason for demotion from FA. I think mostly good things will come out from it appearing on TFA. Cheers.--BabbaQ (talk) 22:24, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
- I have to admit to being a bit uncertain about whether or not this should appear on the front page as I wouldn't want it to cause distress to her family and friends, but as ITV are airing the Jefferies thing this fall it should be ok. If there are any issues though and we can't replace them I've no problem with it being postponed for a bit. Just checked and found 27 Mail references, so it is quite a big ask to replace them all. Perhaps if we can get it down to single figures it might be all right. We've got a couple of weeks anyway. This is Paul (talk) 22:59, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

- I turned off my Cleartype. You find it if you search for it on your menu search. I hope it is just a temporary situation because it is really annoying to have to turn the Cleartype off everytime I want to edit Wikipedia. The articles themselves looks like normal but when I edit an article the font on the edit version of the text looks different. Please email Wikipedia at info-en@wikimedia.org and report the problem, I did that earlier today. Good to hear that I am not alone :)--BabbaQ (talk) 17:26, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Hawkeye7 (talk) 08:41, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
- I have just finished reviewing Go Eun-bi in its present form. The latest edit at 2201 hours 10 September 2014 halved the text, and gutted whatever context there was in the article. Additionally, while I am not familiar with notability standards in the entertainment, present iteration of this article seems to flunk. Not to be mean, but the present text is simply not a good example of a new article. The suggested merge would seem the alternative to deletion of Go Enu-bi on notability and length grounds.Georgejdorner (talk) 06:02, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

You might want to note the closing admin's remarks here. I know you believe every murder and crime is notable in WP, but that is simply not true. LibStar (talk) 14:39, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
- You won a AfD, woo hoo. You might want to note that an AfD is not a competition. Users are entitled to have different opinions then you. For example you stated that the Joanna Yeates article would basically never be anything more than a start article and was a non notable article and should be deleted, today it is a featured article. We all have different opinions and sometimes it is a correct one and sometimes it is not, and that goes for both you and me. I stand by my comment about your delete !vote just as you probably stand by your never ending comments about anyone !voting Keep on an AfD. I wish for you only the best, have a nice weekend mate:) --BabbaQ (talk) 17:08, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
You still can't get over Joanna Yeates article? And how about your never ending keep votes at every single murder and crime AfD? Remember the time when you said keep per admin X, when all the admin did was relist the AfD! LibStar (talk) 17:28, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
- How about your never ending delete votes on every single crime AfD? People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Obviously you hold a grudge against me and probably many other users for reasons that I frankly couldn't care less about. Now please move on and accept that closing admins will not always agree with you, just as well as they do not always agree with me.--BabbaQ (talk) 10:01, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

Swedish-related articles
Hello! I'm just curious, why do you often ask for my help on Swedish-related articles (Please don't misunderstand me, I appreciate it and I'm very grateful, but there are other Swedish Wikipedians out there as well). By the way, are you Swedish by any means? In case you are wondering, I do speak Swedish, and not just English. Arbero (talk) 11:52, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
- Hi! I guess I asked you some time for help and you did assist me with a few great edits :) In my opinion articles are not good until a few other users has edited it as well. That is why I ask other perhaps more established users to take a look at my articles sometimes. Okej så du kan prata svenska kul. Då kommer jag skriva till dig på svenska i fortsättningen. Jag läste inte det sista så orkar inte skriva om det första på engelska till svenska :) Jo jag har en tendens att skriva "svengelska" ibland och vet jag om denna svaghet så kan det vara skönt att få någon engelsk talande användare att kolla på artiklarna också. Ha en bra dag.--BabbaQ (talk) 13:24, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
- Det stämmer bra det, om du undrar så är jag svensk medborgare och bor här i Stockholm. Visst får du skriva till mig på svenska om du vill, men jag vet inte om administratörerna här på engelska Wikipedia skulle gilla det. Jag vill även påpeka att jag brukar redigera på Svenska Wikipedia ibland om du inte sett mig där. Arbero (talk) 13:41, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

- Thanks for asking me. I gave a quick look at your article and I think it is a good beginning. I would suggest the following:
- Sources and Citations-- It is ok to have some of them in Swedish, but you need more in English, just because this is the English side of wikipedia and most readers would not be able to understand them. Also, if you want more credibility, you need to read and include more scholarly works on your bibliography and notes-- in English. There are a few of them in English (even dissertations). If you have some difficulties in accessing these sources, let me know and I will pass them to you.
- The usual: include external links, upload sources (music, pics, documents) to Wikimedia and link them to the article, etc.
- Relevancy: You should work on the historical background and also open two new sections with the purpose of highlighting its relevancy. These two should be on (1) any controversy there might be or have been on these people, and (2) the legacy and contribution to the region (Sweden, Europe, etc).
I have classified the article as "stub." As you work on the citation, it should move up to "start." Hope this helps.Historian (talk) 16:51, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
- I would appreciate it if you sent me those sources. Thanks!--BabbaQ (talk) 17:17, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
- @ BabbaQ Send me an email through my wiki-user page so I can respond with the attachments. I suppose you can access PDF files. Historian (talk) 17:40, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Do Swedish parents really curl their children?
In Young and spoiled you wrote, "The series follows young adults who are curled by their parents." I'm not sure exactly what you meant to say, but I'm pretty sure it's not what you wrote. Did you intend to say they're "coddled"? Or, based on the title, maybe just that they're "spoiled"? MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 21:56, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
- Hehe, yeah in Sweden there is a saying that parents "Curlar sina barn" The exact translation of that is Curling their children. Also called Curlingföräldrar Curling-parents :) Yes, being very overprotective and wanting to help your child at any time is the best way to describe it :)--BabbaQ (talk) 23:01, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
- Wow, to an American, that sure sounds strange. Thanks for the reply. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 00:12, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
- We don't use "curl" in this sense in English. I've changed it to "pamper".--Ipigott (talk) 10:18, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
- When I read that, I was thinking of curling, and I began to imagine big, muscular vikings throwing their kids around with sticks. --benlisquareT•C•E 11:57, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

You might want to note the closing admin's remarks here. I know you believe every murder and crime is notable in WP, but that is simply not true. LibStar (talk) 14:39, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
- You won a AfD, woo hoo. You might want to note that an AfD is not a competition. Users are entitled to have different opinions then you. For example you stated that the Joanna Yeates article would basically never be anything more than a start article and was a non notable article and should be deleted, today it is a featured article. We all have different opinions and sometimes it is a correct one and sometimes it is not, and that goes for both you and me. I stand by my comment about your delete !vote just as you probably stand by your never ending comments about anyone !voting Keep on an AfD. I wish for you only the best, have a nice weekend mate:) --BabbaQ (talk) 17:08, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
You still can't get over Joanna Yeates article? And how about your never ending keep votes at every single murder and crime AfD? Remember the time when you said keep per admin X, when all the admin did was relist the AfD! LibStar (talk) 17:28, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
- How about your never ending delete votes on every single crime AfD? People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Obviously you hold a grudge against me and probably many other users for reasons that I frankly couldn't care less about. Now please move on and accept that closing admins will not always agree with you, just as well as they do not always agree with me.--BabbaQ (talk) 10:01, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
- at least I don't say "delete per person X" when all person X did was relist the AfD! I actually read all the AfDs I participate in unlike you. LibStar (talk) 13:49, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
- Move along. I do not have time for child's play. But may I seriously suggest that you re-read WP:COMPETENCE especially the "Grudges" and "Social" sections. We all could need a reminder of that at times. Thanks. --BabbaQ (talk) 14:26, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

Swedish-related articles
Hello! I'm just curious, why do you often ask for my help on Swedish-related articles (Please don't misunderstand me, I appreciate it and I'm very grateful, but there are other Swedish Wikipedians out there as well). By the way, are you Swedish by any means? In case you are wondering, I do speak Swedish, and not just English. Arbero (talk) 11:52, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
- Hi! I guess I asked you some time for help and you did assist me with a few great edits :) In my opinion articles are not good until a few other users has edited it as well. That is why I ask other perhaps more established users to take a look at my articles sometimes. Okej så du kan prata svenska kul. Då kommer jag skriva till dig på svenska i fortsättningen. Jag läste inte det sista så orkar inte skriva om det första på engelska till svenska :) Jo jag har en tendens att skriva "svengelska" ibland och vet jag om denna svaghet så kan det vara skönt att få någon engelsk talande användare att kolla på artiklarna också. Ha en bra dag.--BabbaQ (talk) 13:24, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
- Det stämmer bra det, om du undrar så är jag svensk medborgare och bor här i Stockholm. Visst får du skriva till mig på svenska om du vill, men jag vet inte om administratörerna här på engelska Wikipedia skulle gilla det. Jag vill även påpeka att jag brukar redigera på Svenska Wikipedia ibland om du inte sett mig där. Arbero (talk) 13:41, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

- Thanks for asking me. I gave a quick look at your article and I think it is a good beginning. I would suggest the following:
- Sources and Citations-- It is ok to have some of them in Swedish, but you need more in English, just because this is the English side of wikipedia and most readers would not be able to understand them. Also, if you want more credibility, you need to read and include more scholarly works on your bibliography and notes-- in English. There are a few of them in English (even dissertations). If you have some difficulties in accessing these sources, let me know and I will pass them to you.
- The usual: include external links, upload sources (music, pics, documents) to Wikimedia and link them to the article, etc.
- Relevancy: You should work on the historical background and also open two new sections with the purpose of highlighting its relevancy. These two should be on (1) any controversy there might be or have been on these people, and (2) the legacy and contribution to the region (Sweden, Europe, etc).
I have classified the article as "stub." As you work on the citation, it should move up to "start." Hope this helps.Historian (talk) 16:51, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
- I would appreciate it if you sent me those sources. Thanks!--BabbaQ (talk) 17:17, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

- From any article, click on the "DYK check" link in the tools menu (it's the bottom one on the list). You'll see the text go yellow. At the top of the page (below the article title) will appear some statistics telling you how many characters and words the article has, whether it's been expanded 5x since it was created, if it's appeared on the main page before, and so on. I think you need to have JavaScript enabled for it to work, and there are other ways to do it as well as the one I've mentioned, so check out WP:DYKCHECK for more detail.

Since you have a better track record in these things, I prefer that you nominate it for DYK although the article is not quite developed in my opinion. Perhaps the fact that it is a small article may be an obstacle for its approval as a DYK listing. But it would give me great pleasure. You know, the fact that he is from Colombia and sings Sami joik songs is remarkable. In any case, this article more than anything else just proves to you how "{Swedish at heart" I am.

Extra eyes required
Babba, would you be able to assist me in keeping a very close eye on List of Eurovision Song Contest winners? It is coming under a lot of attack these past 24 hours over the whole Germany's 1 or 2 wins scenario - despite the fact there are footnotes explaining about the map, not to mention the tons of talk page threads covering the whole issue. Thanks bud! Wes Mᴥuse 01:29, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
- Sure thing.--BabbaQ (talk) 01:29, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

I have edited the three subjects. I am very saddened by the death of Malik Bendjelloul' death by suicide on 13 May 2014. He is the brother of Johar Bendjelloul and is the brilliant film director of the documentary Searching for Sugar Man. werldwayd (talk) 22:58, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

We noticed though that when you edited Malou (model), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Danish and Fetish (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

RE: Ann Heberlein
Hi, well, I tweaked but you need to provide at least rough translations in English of her books and other writings, and try to explain their significance.
Also, I don't understand what this line -- "In 2012 her book became a play at the Dramaten in Stockholm" -- is supposed to mean.
Don't forget that something always gets lost when translating one language to another so try to "think outside the box". Good Luck. Quis separabit? 00:06, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Anti racism demonstration in Kärrtorp 2013
I have now edited the article as it needed soem clean-up. Hopefully the article will stay as it is a very important event. werldwayd (talk) 18:58, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Hi, Babba. I agree it's an important event, but isn't it the attack rather than the original demo that's notable? That's the part that got all the media attention, also international. I don't know if you want to think about re-naming it to focus on that? Then people might not question the notability (hello, Randy).
- Incidentally, do you think you could disentangle the sentence "A group of 30 to 40 men from the neo-nazi Swedish Resistance Movement armed with sticks and bottles and members of the Revolutionary Front went on to attack the racists in retaliation.[1]" ? Right now it reads as if both the neo-nazis and the Revolutionary Front went on to attack the racists… ahem. I'd change it myself, but I'm not sure what it should be, especially as the counter-attack is not in the given sources. (It's probably in Swedish media — surely you could use one Swedish source?) Bishonen | talk 11:25, 1 May 2014 (UTC).
- I agree with you completely. Feel free to change the article name. --BabbaQ (talk) 11:32, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- I will also take a new look at the article.--BabbaQ (talk) 11:34, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- I agree with you completely. Feel free to change the article name. --BabbaQ (talk) 11:32, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- People hold an anti-racist demo, get attacked by right-wing extremists/white supremacists. Unfortunately, that's not really anything special. Happens throughout Europe and North America with depressing regularity. Far as I can see, this falls under WP:NOTNEWS. Two more months and nobody will ever talk about it again... --Randykitty (talk) 11:38, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- Pure speculations from you. The demonstrations in Kärrtorp has had huge effects in Sweden and a long aftermath.--BabbaQ (talk) 11:40, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- You're turning things on their head: you are speculating that this will have long-term implications, which is what needs to be shown for notability. --Randykitty (talk) 11:59, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- And you are speculating that it "will not".. So? I have proven already that it is notable now. It is pure speculation to write that Two more months and nobody will ever talk about it again... and I stand by that. Regards,--BabbaQ (talk) 12:03, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- You don't understand. Yes, what I said was pure speculation, but that is completely irrelevant, because I don't have to prove non-notability. Instead, notability must be proven. And in order for something to have encyclopedic notability (not just newsworthiness, which nobody is denying), it has to be shown that this event has lasting impact. And this is not open for speculation. Obviously, it is way too soon too establish anytghing like that. Ergo, notability jas not been shown and at this point in time cannot be shown. --Randykitty (talk) 16:40, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, I think it will be talked about for years to come in Sweden, because it hasn't been happening with depressing regularity there. Swedish media and politicians talked about it as as a portent of things to come, which no doubt Babba can find sources for. Assuming anybody who is anybody cares what Swedish media and politicians say, of course. But the Indian Express source emphasized it: "Sweden, long seen as a bastion of tolerance.. bla bla ... The violence in one of Europe's richest capitals shocked a country."[19] Babba, haven't those guys been sentenced now? Or at least the judicial procedure is underway. Maybe you want to put that in. Anyway, I've moved it to Neo-Nazi attack in Kärrtorp 2013, what do you think? Bishonen | talk 12:11, 1 May 2014 (UTC).
- All you show is that this is newsworthy, not that this has encyclopedic relevance. WP:NOTNEWS, remember. And WP:NOTCRYSTAL. --Randykitty (talk) 16:40, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- And you are speculating that it "will not".. So? I have proven already that it is notable now. It is pure speculation to write that Two more months and nobody will ever talk about it again... and I stand by that. Regards,--BabbaQ (talk) 12:03, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Removing Comments
Hello BabbaQ!
You mentioned that I may have removed a comment(s)? I do apologize if that was the case, it most likely was an edit conflict, not a willful action on my part. I have been on wikipedia for a while now and never have I, nor would I, remove comments. I would like you to link me to the relevant revision page so I can better understand your concerns and reassure myself that I did not remove any comments on purpose.
Best Regards, Klopsikon
DYK for Filippa Lagerbäck
| On 28 March 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Filippa Lagerbäck, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Swedish fashion model Filippa Lagerbäck has hosted the Italian version of Candid Camera on RAI? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Filippa Lagerbäck. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), 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. |

Even though the article is an FA standard article and nearly perfect I still would like for some user from the project that could search for some missed c/e details etc. Only minor details but still important.--BabbaQ (talk) 01:39, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
Done Wasn't much to do, which actually made it pretty difficult. From a c/e standpoint, there were only a few minor things (a missing period, a missing endquote, etc.), except for the use of ellipses in quotations. The article did a wonderful job of incorporating quotes into the body of the document, but was very inconsistent in its use of the ellipse, which is now not the case. Made a few slight changes to several sentences to make the intent clearer, and got some very useful input from one of the editors of the article.Onel5969 (talk) 20:25, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

I have now edited the three biographies. All the best for Melodifestivalen this week. Yohio will win. werldwayd (talk) 00:23, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
- I Know... I was following the competition online. The winning song "Undo" is so bad, during the refrain "Undo my sad.. Undo what hurts so bad.. Undo my pain.. Gonna get out, through the rain" as if some cat is just miowing... Such a downer... If they wanted a balad, then Martin was at least acceptable. Nothing special but better than "Undo". "Busy Doin' Nothin" was very very popular with the international jury. I was surprised so many country juries voted for it and it just grows on you. The more you hear it the more you get used to it. But this Yohio is just stunning. Everybody would have talked about this half Japanese half Swedish, sexy being. This guy will get international I tell you.

It is a Finnish singer called Isac Elliot, a teeny bopper singer but I was so impressed by many of his songs.. This one is real sweet and a fan favourite though never a single... By the way, I am following Melodifestivalen like crazy it has been three weeks. This is my pre-Eurovision extravaganza bash so to speak... The Swedes really know how to make a party of a pre-selection process. Many other countries just put 2-3 songs and choose one, that's it. But not the Swedes... Next week Sverigetopplistan hit parade will be full of brand new hits by successful and by failing artists, no matter.... I just remembered the song by Swingfly and Christoffer Hiding in "Me and My Drum" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIq5WvNxKvo Whatever happened to them. I love this sexy song so much...

It is a Finnish singer called Isac Elliot, a teeny bopper singer but I was so impressed by many of his songs.. This one is real sweet and a fan favourite though never a single... By the way, I am following Melodifestivalen like crazy it has been three weeks. This is my pre-Eurovision extravaganza bash so to speak... The Swedes really know how to make a party of a pre-selection process. Many other countries just put 2-3 songs and choose one, that's it. But not the Swedes... Next week Sverigetopplistan hit parade will be full of brand new hits by successful and by failing artists, no matter.... I just remembered the song by Swingfly and Christoffer Hiding in "Me and My Drum" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIq5WvNxKvo Whatever happened to them. I love this sexy song so much... LOL werldwayd (talk) 21:02, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
WP:AFT again
As you didn't answer last time, let's try again: why are you enabling AFT on multiple articles? Nikkimaria (talk) 13:48, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
- Because it is a great tool for user to bring up problems or other insights into articles which otherwise would be lost. I have myself witnessed it helping a number of articles to be improved. May I ask you what you have against the AFT? Or me enabling it perhaps?. I do enable quite few articles AFT but most of them will benefit from it in the end. Should I have brought it up with possible closing users on some of them yes, but done is done and it is not a big deal. Regards,--BabbaQ (talk) 15:15, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
- You are however correct in that I could have been more careful with enabling it at Turkey and Azerbaijans articles. That I agree.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:22, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
- The RfC on AFT found that the tool should be implemented only on a "small-scale, opt-in basis", "limited to a level which that minority [who support the tool] cope with on its own". Given the number and diversity of articles on which you have implemented the tool, it seems very unlikely that you have the time or the expertise to monitor and address potential comments on all of those articles.

Speedy deletion nomination of Softengine
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Softengine requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Wgolf (talk) 20:58, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

- As a second gift for your friendship, I have just opened right now a page in Armenian for Sanna Nielsen as Սաննա Նիլսեն. Please see Armenian page for her, brand new for BabaQ werldwayd (talk) 19:40, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- As a third and final gift, a song from the very talented Ola Svensson, his magnificent song "Brothers" that you can find here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6Ld-dpRRDI. It is a tribute at the same to his two adoptive brothers Jonas and Daniel from El Salvador. You can see footage of them in this beautiful video that impresses me so much. werldwayd (talk) 19:41, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- Good work Werldwayd. I did not know your knowledge of the Armenian and Arabic languages :) Thank you very much. !--BabbaQ (talk) 21:57, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- I would also open a page in Turkish if it's absolutely necessary LOL. I know the language quite well, no sweat... Perhaps I should without even asking you. Later tonight LOL I also used to know Greek so well, specially reading the Greek newspapers as I lived in Cyprus for 7 years and was the best of the language class for foreigners. But I lost most of what I know after so much time.... Now I am in Montreal, Canada actually but originally from Lebanon and much earlier ancestors were Turkish Armenians. Here's an Arabic song to you "Habibi I Love You" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyZEwpDPCCw There is a very strong Swedish connection to the whole song as it is produced by RedOne a Moroccan Swedish guy whose real name is Nadir Khayat... werldwayd (talk) 22:21, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- Further to my promise, here is a page in Turkish for Sanna. You can find it at Turkish page for Sanna. This was a great exercise for me just to prove the flexibility I have in not only English editing, but establishing of pages for her in Arabic, Armenian and Turkish in a span of few days! Of course, anything for Swedish acts, but the one which gave me most joy was the Swedish page I opened with a little help from you for [Oliver Ingrosso]. Did you see the film he played in "Ciao Bella" I forwarded to you? Here is a reminder. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDZtQ8B0YF8 What a beautiful movie that was! I will edit the three articles you suggested when I have the time this weekend. I am following also the Melodifestivallen. It is a tradition I keep for five years now. I just loved Yohio. What a nice act. Helena Paparizou was ok but somewhat dissappointing I thought. But I am rooting for Panetoz. I just adore them. They are so fun to watch. I haven't heard their song for tomorrow yet, all of them are muted or replaced by some unrelated tune, but all will be revealed tomorrow 8 February. I am just praying for them! werldwayd (talk) 23:42, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Class rating
Hi Babba, instead of removing all the class ratings of articles like you did with Talk:Ryan Dolan, you could easily reassess it for all projects. Importance ratings are a different matter and in my opinion are best left to individual project assessment team members. This article was rated Stub and I have rerated it as a Start class but I think it is hardly even that. The class rating applies to all projects equally, so is the same for each project. If you are not aware of it, a stub is just one or two sentences by way of introduction to a topic, while a Start-class article has some more substance with a few paragraphs but is still quite short. You can easily do this in future or ask for a reassessment from the individual project, such as the Ireland project at: Wikipedia:WikiProject Ireland/Assessment#Requesting an assessment. Articles whose assessments have been removed are not very easily found by interested editors unless they follow some of the assessment logs, such as Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Ireland articles by quality log, otherwise they go unnoticed and may not be reassessed for a long time. Good luck. ww2censor (talk) 21:57, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Why are you adding the Article Feedback Tool to a large number of articles? Nikkimaria (talk) 06:09, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
- I'm here to ask the same question as Nikkimaria. Have you consulted with the main contributors on the corresponding talk page, or explained why in the edit summary? There are highly sensitive, controversial articles which have the feedback tool disabled (a decisions made by consensus and sometimes on the advice of Wikipedia administrators) due to being bombarded with obscenities and unwanted 'opinions'. Please check with contributors on the talk page as to whether they have nominated to disable feedback for a very good reason. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 09:32, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

I have now finished edits of Moa Gammel, Lotta Lundgren, Erik Haag and Martina Haag. werldwayd (talk) 03:41, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
- Anytime BabaQ. In token of thanks for the cup of coffee, here a relatively unknown track by Backstreet Boys called "Lift Me Up", exactly my feelings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIG0YUJFsXY. It is not found in any of their albums, nor a single, just in some obscure special edition in Asia or somewhere they never used. But the song stuck.... and it is a piece of beauty and I adore it. The lyrics are intended for your friendship. Plus a cover of a Jackson hit "Hold My Hand" here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgKsRyTgeiY by J Rice and Kurt Schneider Also a band I just discovered from South Africa called Eden (actually my work on Wikipedia for today as I launched it) in "Running Away" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udo_XH8U1Us. It is a gorgeous cinematographic work as well. I have rarely seen such an elegant and attractive video for a song. Again thanks. werldwayd (talk) 16:28, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

- @BabbaQ:... finished the copy editing and tightening. Let me know what you think. Two issues I still have with the article... First, there's a dead link, which is used extensively throughout the article - [2] Second, the public reaction section is very "not neutral". It either needs to contain several more examples of the proponents of capital punishment, or be cut drastically, or (and this would NOT be my preference) deleted all together, in order to maintain the tone of neutrality.

Your review for article I prepared
This is an article I prepared in Swedish. Correct any language mistakes before I launch it in Swedish Wikipedia. Don't worry about the redlinks. They will work once they are in Swedish page:
Oliver Ingrosso (född Oliver Salvatore Gustavo Wahlgren-Ingrosso, 30 december 1989 i Stockholm, är en svensk skådespelare (också känd under namnet Oliver Wahlgren-Ingrosso) och discjockey / musikproducent (som Oliver Ingrosso).
Karriär
- Skådespelarkarriär
Han debuterade i filmen Ciao Bella, i rollen som Enrico. Ciao Bella är en svensk ungdomsfilm regisserad av Mani Maserrat-Agah från 2007. Han krediterades i filmen som Oliver Wahlgren-Ingrosso
- Musikkarriär
Oliver Ingrosso släppte sin första Progressiv house ep-platta iTrack med Tim Berg (Avicii) och Otto Knows och han har samarbetat med stora namn som Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Swedish House Mafia, Adrian Lux, Mandy och Adam Beyer. Sedan dess har han rest runt världen och bland annat spelat tillsammans med omåttligt populära Swedish House Mafia där den 2005 äldre kusinen Sebastian Ingrosso varit och fortfarande är hans läromästare. Nu har han med jämna mellanrum spelningar i Toronto, New York, Brasilien och Spanien.

- I've submitted it at sv:Oliver Ingrosso.--Launchballer 18:57, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
Thanks BabbaQ for the help. You are truly a treasure. The guys on Swedish Wikipedia put notes longer than the article itself after cutting the article into half its size. It was a draft and I wanted to add many references before they put all these notes. But still, hopefully the article will be saved. I just loved Oliver in his film role as Enrico that I saw this week. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDZtQ8B0YF8 That kept the ball rolling. The film Ciao Bella is in Swedish, English, Italian and Persian. Then I listened to tons of stuff of his music!!! Come to think of it, I am pretty good in Swedish, ain't I, although I don't even know Swedish at all LOL/ See the article as is now after all my additions. https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Ingrosso On this joyous occasion I also added a disambiguaton page in Swedish for Ingrosso... See it here: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingrosso This is a happy day for me indeed. Ijust love swedish artists. Yet to think that Oliver Ingrosso so important as Swedish artist go and Swedish Wikipedia had nothing on him after all these years... Now that it has been rectified. Next will be an English of this, promise, where readers will be ten times more!!! Watch the film ok? I thoroughly enjoyed it. And just to tell you how happy I am feeling about this Oliver Ingrosso article, see the song I am listening to: South Sudanese singer Yaba Angelosi feat. Slick Nick in "[Faya Faya]" I know its a crappy video, but the music makes me go crazy and all worked up LOL werldwayd (talk) 13:06, 20 January 2014 (UTC) werldwayd (talk) 14:06, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Edit
I have now edited what you called a "challenge". There are more racey materials about her, but since this is a biography page, and most quotations I found are in blogs and forums / message boards and trashy sites, I have refrained from adding them. Questions about her real identity, about her assumed name (Jennifer Paris) about being an escort etc But they don't seem very reliable. Her being transgendered has been established by so many sites I added that. BTW there is a Facebook site as well but since it is fan-based I didn't add it.

Here's what interests me! Swedish music and Swedish DJs. After you helped me in a Swedish page, I have also launched an all-important page in English Oliver Ingrosso. I also added one for him in Arabic and one in Armenian ... I wonder why Swedes didn't open a page for this quite famous DJ. BTW, did you check his film appearance in Ciao Bella . It is so enchanting. What a lovely Swedish film that is.. werldwayd (talk) 23:36, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi BabbaQ,
I was wondering, when you have a spare moment, if you would be so kind as to have a look at article New Year's Eve in London. I attended the display in London on New Year's Eve, and thought I'd check to see if there was an article on Wikipedia, which there is. It was in a very poor state with raw references and no images. So I did some copyediting to improve it better, with a hope of doing enough work to submit a potential DYK. Anyhow, I'm wondering whether to add a tracklisting for the accompanying music for some of the years. However, that information is only found on Soundcloud, and I'm not too sure if soundcloud can be used as a source. Thank you in advance. Wes Mᴥuse 14:31, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the addition of Elin Bergman edit on Kevin Walker page. Incidentally, since you are interested in this, there is a discussion going on here] where I am proposing changing title to (footballer and singer) instead of footballer born 1989 which other colleagues want to keep as is. The discussion is under Requested move 2 at the bottom. It would be great to have your feedback on the talk page of Kevin_Walker as this is a Swedish subject and you are very well acknowledged in these matters. Also I have made edits on Elin Bergman page as well about her hit "The Fire" werldwayd (talk) 17:34, 17 January 2014 (UTC) werldwayd (talk) 17:39, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

DYK reviews
BabbaQ, I have noted issues with your DYK reviews of Template:Did you know nominations/The Memoirs of Cleopatra and Template:Did you know nominations/Double Rainbow (song) today, and since this seems to be your standard review, it will apply to others that I haven't yet located. Basically, they are not adequate, and cannot be given QPQ credit.
Reviews need to be complete: the criteria are at the top of the template when you're editing it, but beyond size and newness you need to check the hook for neutrality, accuracy (it has to be in the article) and that it is sourced and matches what's in the source; the article paragraphs all need to be sourced and none of these sources can be bare URLs, the article itself needs to be neutral and if a bio needs not to violate the WP:BLP rules, and there shouldn't be close paraphrasing, copyvios, or plagiarism. As I've noted, T:TDYK#How to review a nomination says that reviews should begin with one of the 5 review symbols that appear at the top of the edit screen, and then indicate all aspects of the article that you have reviewed
. You'll need to do this with all current and future reviews. Finally, please be sure that your nomination include wikilinks to your reviews, not just names for them. It's important to include these. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:54, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
- Ive done them all in good faith. But I take it all too heart and I will do everything I can to improve my reviews! Regards.--BabbaQ (talk) 19:57, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
- BabbaQ, I never doubted that you did them in good faith, and we're glad to have you at DYK. But the reviews do need to be more comprehensive; even if you have checked some of those aspects I mentioned and not reported on them, you need to both check and report on them all. Thanks for going back to them: another one I've noticed is Template:Did you know nominations/Theater Hopper. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:04, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
The article Daria Shashina has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Miss Asia Pacific World
Hi BabbaQ,
Thank you for notifying me of the reversions of the mergers I enacted. Is there any reason you are requesting that other editors carry out these mergers rather than doing them yourself? You don't need to be an administrator to perform a merger; you can merge Miss Asia Pacific World 2014 into Miss Asia Pacific World as easily as I can.

Hi Babba,
I noticed from a previous talk page that you seemed to bit a little tense towards me, which is unusual. So I just thought I'd drop by and see how you are. I do worry about fellow Wikipedian's, especially good-hearted souls like yourself. Wes Mᴥuse 07:09, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
- Hi, no worries I am not at all angry at you or similar. It is just that I have encountered three stubborn users in the space of 1 week concerning three different articles. If we should use the same terminology that they do, you could say I "won all three discussions" as they all ended the way I wanted. The articles concerned Yohio, Abeba Aregawi and Hercianas article. I encountered the same kind of users at all three, fairly new users who still do not understand even basic Wikipedia guidelines and who think that a discussion is needed to be "won" at any cost :). So I was perhaps a bit tense towards you as well yesterday and for that I do apologize but I hope you can see why I reacted like that :) Regards,--BabbaQ (talk) 18:16, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

RE. Herciana
I agree, best not to feed fire to the flame (is that how the actual saying goes? :P ) Jjj1238 (talk) 20:36, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
- No smoke without fire is the closest similar saying I know :P But you are definitely right no matter what :)--BabbaQ (talk) 20:37, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
- I think the idiom that Jjj means is "don't add fuel to the fire". Other good idioms are "don't feed the trolls" and "don't feed the divas". If the editor had not informed us that they had emailed an editor of an official website as well as email the singer personally, then any other sources would have been acceptable as verifying the spelling. But because they did both of these actions, then we are no longer able to verify if other sources are true or if they may have been influenced by a person. Oh and Babba, please don't take this the wrong way, but cool-down a bit. I know it is not easy to deal with editors like Ale83 (I know myself from personal experiences) but sometimes we needs to just step back and leave the trolls alone, even if it means allowing them to have that satisfaction of having the final word. If we keep returning to have "the final word" then we're only feeding the troll. Wes Mᴥuse 18:57, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Now edited
I have now re-edited the two articles you suggested recently. They reminded me of a delightful song by the Canadian Egyptian twin brother singers called Tadros in this song: [20] LOL. By the way, when I lived in Cyprus, there would be tonnes of Swedish tourists in Aya Napa and almost every Swedish tourist would be reading this tabloid of scandals, crimes, and sexy pin-up girls basically. I distinctly remember the paper called Aftonbladet was splashed with so much yellow colour I've never seen in any other publication. The Cyprus magazine stores would import and put it every day in their stores during the summer season. werldwayd (talk) 01:53, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Stekenjokk
Hi!
I saw that you had created Stekenjokk, apparently by translating the corresponding article from the Swedish Wikipedia. Thank you for expanding the English Wikipedia! However, the rules on copying within Wikipedia state that attribution must be given, and you forgot to do so.
I added a {{translated page}} template to Talk:Stekenjokk, but the next time, please remember to identify the source in your edit summary and add the template yourself. Thanks. Kolbasz (talk) 19:33, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
- I always wanted to spend a week or so in Lappland, as far north as you can get. Such a beautiful peaceful area, it is a dream land. I have now visited the three articles and made some copyedits. You do have a good level of English I must say. werldwayd (talk) 21:38, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi BabbaQ,
Just wanted to let you know that I've got the full scoreboard all ready and saved to the article. Been trying for ages now but keep getting into edit conflicts with Stardust and some random IP which is becoming frustrating. Lol. 'Wes Mᴥuse 20:17, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Stekenjokk, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sami (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

ProjectEurovision ideas
Babba,
You know how I am always looking into ideas on modernising ProjectEurovision, right? First I revamped the newsletter, then gave the entire project a facelift by changing the dullish blue to a more warmer beige, as well as updating the portal area. And then the navigating tabs. Well I'm thinking of even more ideas, but wanted to put them across to you first to see what you think. How's about the Project's very own DYK on the project home page? We technically have our own ITN part in the newsletter, which I've developed more for the next edition. I look forward to reading your views on this. Wes Mᴥuse 14:03, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
- Love your work on the ProjectEurovision :) I really like your idea of having a DYK section for us ESV lovers. I think it would be great as it would perhaps give an extra push to ESC fans of putting in extra work on ESC topic articles :). Perhaps as it says in ProjectEurovision we could have a "Todays article" were we feature a Eurovision singer bio article each day of the year or similar :). So many great ideas! Regards,--BabbaQ (talk) 14:39, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
- I know that the portal has a random article and photo each time it is visited. So I'd assume we'd be able to do similar to the project page too. What I'll do is add the suggestion to the newsletter tomorrow, and then see if others would be interested in this DYK for the project space too. But like you pointed out, it would allow us to highlight articles that may be in need of work. So we would not have to necessarily go down the strict criteria route that the real DYK uses. Wes Mᴥuse 14:45, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, our DYK would not be strict at all (perhaps we had to limit the articles to those that are somewhat expanded and factual but overall no need for very strict criterias). So I think that would have to be the number one priority to get that started. If there were to be a "Todays article" section as well those articles might have to be atleast of 5000 chars size and atleast sourced correctly etc. :) Regards,--BabbaQ (talk) 14:48, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

DYK credits
Hi there. I noticed in your DYK-nomination for Stekenjokk (currently in Queue 6) that you had credited all of the editors that had edited the article after the creation, a total of four other editors that did minor fixes. I don't know if this was deliberately or not, but I wanted to let you know that only editors that has made significant contributions to the article (after it was created or after expansion was started) should be given a DYK-credit. To me it looks like all of the other four credits should be removed, what do you think? Mentoz86 (talk) 17:14, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

DYK reviews
Please be more careful when reviewing DYK noms. After seeing your review of Template:Did you know nominations/Last Judgment (van der Weyden), in which you didn't even check that the concern raised by another editor had been addressed, I had a look through your contribs, and I didn't have to go far to find several more problematic reviews (such as 1, 2, 3, all within the past few days). As a DYK reviewer, you have a responsibility to ensure that the content we're displaying on the main page meets expected standards. Read over the rules; when you review a nomination, make sure that every single criterion is met, and be clear about what you've checked – "good 2 go" doesn't inspire others with confidence that you've performed a comprehensive review.

Kassiopi Castle
Hi BabbaQ. Thank you for reviewing the article but you left a "possible" vote {{subst:DYK?no}}, not a "DYK confirmed" vote. That means the DYK is not ok and needs more work. If it needs more work please let me know. If it does not need any more work and you think it is good to go you should change it to {{subst:DYKtick}}. Thanks again.

Nour El-Refai
Ok... the Refai article is ready. Plus she is now mentioned in famous Lebanese in Sweden as I just listed her at List of Lebanese people in Sweden. You know I am Lebanese, or you didn't know. So this Nour El-Refai fascinated me. Her parents divorced just months after arriving in Sweden, she was just a year old, she was "Femen" before there was FEMEN... exposing herself as a political act and she was sexually assaulted, but went on to be a star a few months later having roles in films. Man! And she was in Melodifestivalen. You may not know this, but I follow Melodifestivalen diligently every week until the very final and check all the songs. I don't know about you, but you can't go wrong with Melodifestivalen. My favourite from recent years is Swingfly's song "Me and My Drum" which I put on every time I feel down and in just two seconds, all my worries are gone. It's better than anti-depression medecine. Just a crazy song. Have you noticed the sex lyrics they sing, OMG LOL... The performance here. This should have gone to Eurovision!
My favourite song these days of all the things I have listened to these couple of weeks and discovered out of the blue is this Faroe Island singer Eivør Pálsdóttir in a magical and gorgeous 2010 cover called "Dansaðu vindur"]. But then, I discover days later it was the winning Melodifestivalen song in 1996 called "Den vilda" (here the Melodifestivalen performance) by the Swedish band One More Time that they sang later in Eurovision. Here the Eurovision live with great orchestra, male backing vocals and a piano solo [21] .. Just fantastic! werldwayd (talk) 17:52, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you! Yes, Nour is a fighter and she will do a great job hosting Melodifestivalen I think. Oh, lebanon is an amazing country, I have never visited it but I want to soon! Yeah, Den vilda is great I also like Sinner, nor a saint by Alcazar at Melodifestivalen 2003, But I guess it was too cool and modern to win at that time. For 2014 I hope Elena Paparizou has a great song! Regards,--BabbaQ (talk) 17:55, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
- I adore Elena Paparizou. "Opa Opa", "Me Logia Ellinika", "Moro mou" As for Lebanon see pictures gallery http://www.habeeb.com/lebanon.photos.01.lebanese.homes.houses.html Below you have links to thousands of photos... werldwayd (talk) 18:04, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Can you believe this?
I am in utter shock that I have been blatantly accused of being selfish and claiming all the glory for ESC 2012 and ESC 2013 articles gaining GA status. If I'm being selfish and claiming credit for my own, then why the hell did I published a teamwork barnstar in Wikipedia:WikiProject Eurovision/Newsletters/August 2012 to congratulate the project members in 2012, and one scheduled to be published in Wikipedia:WikiProject Eurovision/Newsletters/December 2013 to congratulate the project members in 2013. I've seriously had enough of the same user attacking me time after time. I'm really considering taking this to WP:ANI, because I am not willing to take any more of their bullshit slanderous comments any longer. Wesley Mᴥuse 00:34, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
- I have made my opinion quite clear on the review page. Regards,--BabbaQ (talk) 11:50, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
- I would take it to WP:ANI if I was you. This whole "grudge for old things" needs to stop. --BabbaQ (talk) 11:52, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
- It does dishearten me that the user has accused me of following them onto other's talk pages and then "copy their text". When in actual fact I have never done anything of the such. One only needs to see the date stamps to see that it is impossible. Yet they have clearly demonstrated they are purposely stalking me. They highlighted the phrase "unwise", something which I only used on my talk page in a discussion with someone else. And then they paraphrase other comments that I have said on different threads. Sorry, but that is clear deliberate stalking and wikihounding from one user. But you're right, enough is enough, and WP:ANI is the only way to put an end to this once and for all. And why does the user have this tendency to use a dispute that was between myself and someone else, as some sort of arsenal of their own. They were not even involved in that dispute. That dispute was resolved in the end. And both myself and the other editor involved have put that behind us and moved on peacefully. Anyhow, I am going to compile a full report for the admins to look into this. In fact, the same user even attacked CT Cooper a few months back. Talk about bravery. Even I wouldn't dream of purposely attacking a Wiki-administrator. Wesley Mᴥuse 14:48, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
- I've taken the matter to ANI. Although with the amount of evidence that I have put forward, it feels like nobody is taking this seriously, and not seeing things outside the box. On a down side, the editor has now left you a tongue-in-cheek jab at you too over on the GA review page. Wesley Mᴥuse 14:44, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
- I would take it to WP:ANI if I was you. This whole "grudge for old things" needs to stop. --BabbaQ (talk) 11:52, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

And just after The Hedenhös children invented Christmas, they sang the song called "Jul jul strålande jul" under the stars (here by Jonathan Fagerlund for a listen to the great carol[22] ) that became the first ever of thousands of Christmas carols that came to be known later. LOL. I am sure they were the ones who started something called Hedenhöspedia later to be known as Wikipedia LOL. I have now corrected the Barna Hedenhös article. Also congratulations for Mia Frye being featured in DYK... werldwayd (talk) 16:30, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Miss Universe
Hi, the addition of controversies section in Miss Universe 2013 by you, seems to be a personal axe that you are grinding, that she tweeted about no power is factual, Olivia Culpo:Miss Universe 2012 also took pictures at the Taj Mahal, was that not a much bigger controversy, yet you did not update that on her page, may I ask why, becausue she is an American? Kindly stop the personal smeering of Miss Universe 2013 by placing unsourced and non conroversial material on the page --ThePageantGenie (talk) 12:22, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
- Either you know Gabriela personally or you are unfamiliar with Wikpedia guidelines. Wikipedia is factual and does not uninclude material that might not be in favour of the article subject. We dont censore Wilipedia. And I have to say that your tone is anything but civil. And the section is not unsourced as you claim. Also take it very easy in the future with accusations if smeering etc.. It will only backlash. --BabbaQ (talk) 13:47, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
- I think it's probably ok to add this information, but if this was widely reported you might want to mention any criticism she received for the comments. This type of thing happens quite a lot on Wikipedia. I know of a few politicians who like to delete unfavourable stuff from their articles, and I once had less than polite message from a minor broadcaster who got worked up over the wrong date of birth. It's not worth getting stressed over though. Paul MacDermott (talk) 15:33, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
