Hi Cl3phact0. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:

Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

Proposed deletion of Giorgia Zanellato

The article Giorgia Zanellato has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

not notable person

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.

Valentine DYK

I want to congratulate you on the successful Olivetti Valentine DYK link -- I don't know which is more challenging: putting together a good Wikipedia article or getting an article successfully into DYK. I have a nagging disappointment that I did not think to time all of this so it could hit DYK on Valentine's day! Years ago I had nominated many articles successfully for DYK, but found the process somewhat brutal, with a tendency to take the rigorous dissection of the articles... personally. I tend to take an arms-length approach, now, to DYK -- though I can't wait to see the number of pageviews, lol. I appreciate your hopping onto the article after I started major edits, helping form it, and especially doing so in a way that was constructive and collaborative. The next time I expand an article, I may tag you, as you understand the process well and can make impacts in a professional and friendly way. It's hilarious that after all the work and effort put in to polishing that article, the first sentence carried a typo on the article name -- until it was released to DYK! It takes a village. Bravo and congrats. 842U (talk) 10:50, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to you for putting together a fascinating little gem of an article! It does an excellent job of highlighting this curious and iconic design, as well as framing its historical context and enduring significance – and yes, utterly hilarious that it took 15K+ pairs of eyes to spot that Valentine was misspelt in the first line of the lead. Apart from the satisfaction of seeing a good article so widely read, this is the best rationale I can think of for enduring any inherent stress of the DYK process itself. Also, tag at will. I'm happy to look at anything you'd like. Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 10:55, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cronotime

MoMA misspelled Cronotime in their catalog! Embarrassing! Mr.choppers | ✎ 13:57, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Missed that. Easy enough to make translation mistake though (as "Cronotime" is a portmanteau of 'Crono' from Italian: cronografo [kroˈnɔɡrafo] + English 'time'). Also, doubly embarrassing in that the design curator at MoMA is Italian!

[NB: The clock itself ~~doesn't appear to be~~ isn't a chronograph either – for what it's worth.]

All of that aside, the Pio Manzù article would benefit from a photograph of this lovely object (I had a first look on Commons, but didn't find anything).

Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 15:12, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Erremm (who created the article) already asked me to look into it. I don't know that it is on display, though. Mr.choppers | ✎ 17:09, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mr.choppers and Erremm: There are some photos of the clock here. These apparently come from Flicker (where there are also a few other shots), however, my knowledge of our copyright policy vis-à-vis that site is thin. I don't know if any of these photos are WP or Commons compliant – nor, for that matter, would I think that "Design is fine" is itself usable as a source (though it does contain useful links to some good RS sites). Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 15:10, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Flickr user took the photos from t3d.be/, who seems to have scanned a magzaine or something. No good, alas! Mr.choppers | ✎ 16:24, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This will be addressed soon. Erremm (talk) 07:54, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Great! Looking forward to seeing the photo in due course. If it is of interest (or relevant), I hope to locate a good photo of the Solari Cifra 5 clock too (see Cifra 3 for context – the image would nicely enhance this article, as well as the Gallery section of the Compasso d'Oro article, and perhaps eventual articles about the architects Nani Valle and Gino Valle [it] as well). Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 05:51, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Erremm (talk) 09:53, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know! It looks very good and adds a nice contrast (size, colour, typology) to the other photos used in the article. [NB: Ritz-Italora also made the Sandwich clock by Richard Sapper. Perhaps there's even enough here for a stub about the company (or the clocks)?] Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 14:35, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Erremm and Mr.choppers: Tangent yet related – another clock that would be nice to have a photo of is the Optic Model 02 designed by Joe Colombo (apparently also with a similar Ritz-Italora/Alessi history). Once again, I'm not sure about rights. Can we use a photo from the Brooklyn Museum site (which states: "You may download and use Brooklyn Museum images of this three-dimensional work in accordance with a Creative Commons license.")? -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 07:57, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

You removed my edits on Moshe Safdie's page

Your comment was "Please, no politics". I'd like to have a discussion on what you think is political about what I wrote, so we can resolve this before taking it to the talk page. Gamalny (talk) 14:53, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is fine with me. Please feel welcome to open the discussion. Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 14:58, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will start by saying for transparency that I'm not an apolitical person. However, my edit in the Moshe Safdie article was ethical and historically accurate and not meant to cause controversy or be "political", although I realize that everything that mentions Palestine or Israel is seen as political. It was also conventional. I used customary terms such as Mandatory Palestine instead of "Palestine", or "British Mandate of Palestine (Now Israel)", which follows the convention of most Wikipedia articles about historical and current individuals. It is not related to current affairs or any edit restrictions regarding the "Israeli-Palestinian Conflict". What is your take? Gamalny (talk) 17:55, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Noted. Did you have a chance to look at the recent edit history of the Safdie article? -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 15:33, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I just took another look. I see you've been editing the page since at least 12 April 2024. Do you still have any concerns regarding my edit specifically? If so, I hope we can resolve it. I see you removed edits that appear similar to mine by some past users, but my wording is different and tries to align with convention and historical accuracy. Gamalny (talk) 16:18, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My concern is (and was) only to avoid dragging the article into any contentious aspects of Israeli-Palestinian matters (either current or historical) by larding it with syntactical over-specificity. Safdie is an architect who happens to have been born in Hafia, a city in what is now known as Israel (which is probably relevant in that he is an Israeli citizen). In my view, too much emphasis on what the country was called in July ~~1948~~ 1938 (or who was in charge of it politically, militarily, or otherwise) when he was born doesn't add much of use to the article. Keep it simple: Mandatory Palestine (now Israel) in the infobox would probably be fine. Adding this level of detail throughout the text seems overkill. -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 16:43, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can we compromise and say he was born in "Haifa, Mandatory Palestine (now Israel)" both in the infobox and the first sentence on his early life? Gamalny (talk) 16:47, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't object. Again, mostly, I was focused on trying to tidy the earlier iterations and rid the article of any hint of politics (and the un-readable multi-hyphenate-nationality verbiage that sometimes comes along with it). It's the last thing that's needed (again, in my view) in an article about an architect (or artist, or chess player, or inventor). Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 17:07, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good, thank you for the conversation, and I hope we reached a fair compromise. Gamalny (talk) 17:11, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An IP editor seems to have decided it was a good idea to remove your contribution (per above). I'm not inclined to get involved at the moment, though you may be. [NB: This also highlights the disadvantage of having a discussion of this nature here on User talk rather than on the article's Talk page itself.] Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 18:03, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Got it, thank you for the heads-up. Gamalny (talk) 19:38, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Brittany Spanos (September 29)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by JoelleJay was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Although some new sourcing mostly related to the Swiftposium has been added, it does not improve the coverage deficit expressed in the AfD. Importantly, the new coverage *of Spanos* is exclusively passing mentions and quotes, sometimes accompanied by further details on her class. Even if the coverage of her class or her interviews had been significant, as AfD participants noted the subject would still fail BIO1E, so it would not be appropriate to accept this draft in the absence of new SUSTAINED sourcing.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Brittany Spanos and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
