List of WMA Constituent Members Agostinho.Sousa (talk) 08:40, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Dear ConcernedVancouverite,

I'm an intern for the WMA and there is a need to create a list of WMA Constituent Members in the wikipedia. I was going to upload the svg map, but this morning I noticed that the page was "deleted".

My main question is what was the reason to the deletion of the page with the member organizations?

If there is anything that is possible to do to undo that decision just let me know.

Best regards, Agostinho.Sousa

I believe you are referring to the page that was here [1] where it states the deletion reasons were copyright infringement and advertising. Generally if you are affiliated (such as working as an intern) you should review WP:COI before editing anything related to your organization. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 16:16, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Response to comment on my talk page

Hey again, I posted this on my page but that won't notify you so I thought I should post here as well. Here's what I said:

I made those edits because I hadn't heard back from you regarding my proposal for a week, and have left 90% of things in, so I'm not sure which content has been removed as I am still waiting for you to clarify - which you know as we are discussing it on the Hollyhock Retreat talk page. I forgot to comment in the edit summary and can do that next time.

Let me know when you get a chance to comment on specifics on the talk page - thanks!Mountaincaribou (talk) 23:11, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

I've commented on that talk page. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 00:22, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions

We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:

Views/Day: Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
Quality: Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.

The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:

Content: Is more content needed?
Headings: Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
Images: Is the number of illustrative images about right?
Links: Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
Sources: For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 11:30, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Montreal Smoke Meat

Can I ask why you keep making revisions to Montreal smoked meat? I manufacture Montreal style smoked in London, UK. Please check my website and tell me your reasons. Thank you.Montrealpastrami (talk) 19:09, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Yes, Wikipedia is not for promotion. Your edits are adding what are categorized as spam links to the article in what appears to be an attempt to build publicity for your business. Please review WP:ELNO and WP:COI. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 19:49, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Abuse of privilege.

You are accusing me of vandalism, but this is untrue. I did only what you did, which is revert an article. Here's the history:

1. You suggested I post my proposed text, which I did, and then edited the article because you didn't reply for a week. You disagreed and reverted, which is fine.

2. You then made other edits, which you did not post on the talk page to discuss (as you had asked me to do). Instead you unilaterally made the changes. I reverted the edit to YOUR original edit, not mine so we could discuss according to your own desired protocol.

3. I did not censor the content. I disagree with the content and am leaving it as before while we discuss. You, however, are using your senior editor (for lack of a better term) position to force your opinions, views, and edits through. This is an abuse of power.

4. Pages can change and sources are sometimes removed. This is not censorship. I am fine with leaving it at your original edit while we discuss but you then added MORE stuff, and when I reverted that (i.e. sources added in the last couple of days) you called it censorship. It is not.Mountaincaribou (talk) 02:45, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Sockpuppet suspect

Hello, noticed you editing articles such as Janette Sadik-Khan and Nina Godiwalla. It appears that a new user, User:Veronicamar1234 is likely the same person as User:William AAAAA who has now been blocked. The new user is doing the same kinds of edits as the old one. Just want your opinion. Thanks, EncyclopediaUpdaticus (talk) 17:09, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

Looks like your instincts were definitely correct - the account has been blocked as well. Good catch! ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 13:54, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Alrighty then! EuroCarGT 16:31, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Gennaro Nunes

Hello. Thought you might undo :-) Your original edit summary said "removing non-RS source": I'm sure you'd agree that external links don't have to be RS. WP:ELMAYBE point 4 says so, and I'd suggest this one might just about qualify, especially in context of an open AfD, because it gives those visiting the AfD a useful place to start when assessing the subject's notability or lack thereof. If people find lots of informative RS about the subject, those sources can go in the article and it won't need that link; if people don't, even using that link to point them at likely places to look, the article will be deleted and the link with it.

Theoretically, WP:ELYES point 3 could be argued to permit links to that and similar sites, as "neutral and accurate material that is relevant to an encyclopedic understanding of the subject and cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to ... amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics...", although not in Mr Nunes' case because for him, it only lists clubs year-by-year and has no detailed statistics. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 14:21, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

User generated social content sites such as that are fairly clearly not to be included as external links. If you feel the information on that link would somehow be useful to the AfD discussion, then by all means place a comment on the AfD with the linkage to make sure people participating in that discussion see it. It really has no place in the article though. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 14:25, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, real life will keep intruding... In terms of Mr Nunes, I won't bother re-adding the link, though its existence does at least indicate he isn't a hoax; anyone likely to !vote in that AfD probably has a fair knowledge of where to find football-related info anyway.

On the general point, the site isn't one I use personally, because I rarely edit in the area (relatively recent Portuguese football, mainly) it specialises in. But it appears to have an editorial staff, journalists, and a mission statement with a commitment to accuracy. Users are encouraged to supply content and correct errors, but the edit form asks for sources, and AFAIK any information submitted is moderated by the editorial staff before it goes live. There are a couple of thousand pages on the English Wikipedia that do link to it, presumably for statistical stuff. While I wouldn't attempt to argue for its being RS, I don't see it as "clearly not to be included" as an EL on those subjects for which it does have comprehensive stats. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 15:17, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your thoughts on it. In any case, let's see what happens at the AfD. Best! ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 15:22, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

maintenance template removal for Fahd Al-Rasheed

Hello ConcernedVancouverite (go canada!),

Thanks for the feedback regarding removing the maintenance template from Fahd Al-Rasheed's page. I am new to Wikipedia and trying to figure out the way things are done-- sorry about the mistake.

I feel that I did address the manitenance issue on the site prior to removing the maintenance template though, I did add 5 addtional sources to the entry to back the claims. Was there anything else missing? Pleaes let me know if you have any suggestions to make my post 'stronger'.

Thanks again, TS6559 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ts6559 (talk • contribs) 18:28, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the note. Unfortunately those citations you added were not independent reliable sources. What the article still needs is third-party independent reliable sources such as independent newspaper reports, etc. There are some details about what constitutes a reliable source here WP:RS. Good luck with your editing! ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 21:01, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions

We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:

Views/Day: Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
Quality: Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.

The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:

Content: Is more content needed?
Headings: Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
Images: Is the number of illustrative images about right?
Links: Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
Sources: For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 00:29, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Not quite six months

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Sehra Waheed doesn't look like quite six months. --SPhilbrick (Talk) 15:50, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Nor this Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Skully Skullz--SPhilbrick (Talk) 15:51, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Actually they are both more than 180 days: [2]. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 16:47, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation#G13_six_months_or_180_days.3F--SPhilbrick (Talk) 17:40, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. Either solution works - there will be some programming needed for the automated bots for solution #2, but with that in place both could work. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 17:46, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Question: How did you find that submission? It wasn't yet a member of the Category:G13 eligible AfC submissions. Were you stalking HasteurBot's contribution notifications? The notifications go out at the 180 day mark, which is very likely not eligible yet, the notifications go out to give users time to try and save it before a happy editor (like yourself) comes along to nominate under G13. Hasteur (talk) 19:09, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Yes, from HasteurBot. I didn't know about that other category that you have pointed out in the discussion at AfC. I'll now utilize that location instead. Thank you for your work on the bot! ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 13:57, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Manchesterlady

Could you explain why you keep reverting all of User:Manchesterlady's edits? I saw a mention of a sockpuppet investigation in one of the reverts but haven't been able to find a sock investigation. Please explain. Dismas|^(talk) 13:56, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Block evading user sockpuppet was confirmed and is awaiting blocking: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/William_AAAAA. Happy editing! ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 13:59, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Xiaomi page edits

Hey, what do you think of the proposed edit below?

Hugo Barra personal matters

I don't dispute the accuracy or the inclusion of this fact, but I think six references for one detail is kind of overkill/redundant. Can we just decide on one or two that are reliable? --Petergalt1980 (talk) 02:45, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Which do you propose? ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 14:40, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

I propose we use "Lee, Dave. "BBC News - Google executive Hugo Barra poached by China's Xiaomi". Bbc.co.uk. Retrieved 2013-08-30." as a source and delete the rest. --Petergalt1980 (talk) 02:34, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

--Petergalt1980 (talk) 02:06, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

There is no need to duplicate this discussion on my talk page as the other editors editing the article won't be watching here. It is generally best to keep discussion of article proposed edits to the talk page for the article - where you also raised this issue and I have responded.
