Michael Wolf (Businessman) Page removal

Hi I created the Michael Wolf page many years ago along with many other articles on other CEO's, celebrities, and historical figures that I was familiar with. I used information that was available on the Internet to provide information on these figures and personal knowledge to create articles. I had not updated the Michael Wolf page for a while, and it was created to provide information on a known CEO that is researched by others on a regular basis. He regularly gives speeches to the media on media trends, attends Davos, and is the CEO of Activate.com. Wikipedia is a palace where people go to research current and past know figures, which is why I believe his page should remain active. I am willing to update it with current information and I am requesting that Michael Wolf's page be restored. It has been on Wikipedia for many, many years and is a part of Wikipedia's original article feeds / historical articles that help build Wikipedia.

Please let me know if you can assist with restoring the page and I will update it. Thank you. user:endicium m@endicium.com

World Famous Kenton Club‎

Thanks for participating in the ongoing discussion. I found a couple more profiles in The Oregonian (the largest newspaper in Oregon and the second largest in the Pacific Northwest by circulation) and The Portland Tribune, but I'm currently scrambling to save a few other articles nominated by the same editor. I won't be surprised if the article is deleted, so I may just have to work in the draft space after deletion since I don't have time to rescue and expand immediately. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:54, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, unrelated, if an AfD nominator changes their own vote to redirect, does that mean the AfD should be closed? Just curious. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:46, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure, User:Another Believer. I do know that if a Nom changes to "keep", he can only close the page if there are no "delete" votes. So I suspect that Nom could only close the page if thre are no outstanding keep or delete votes.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:03, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

NPR Newsletter No.17

Hello E.M.Gregory,

News

The WMF has announced that Google Translate is now available for translating articles through the content translation tool. This may result in an increase in machine translated articles in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to use the {{rough translation}} tag and gently remind (or inform) editors that translations from other language Wikipedia pages still require attribution per WP:TFOLWP.

Discussions of interest

Two elements of CSD G6 have been split into their own criteria: R4 for redirects in the "File:" namespace with the same name as a file or redirect at Wikimedia Commons (Discussion), and G14 for disambiguation pages which disambiguate zero pages, or have "(disambiguation)" in the title but disambiguate a single page (Discussion).
{{db-blankdraft}} was merged into G13 (Discussion)
A discussion recently closed with no consensus on whether to create a subject-specific notability guideline for theatrical plays.
There is an ongoing discussion on a proposal to create subject-specific notability guidelines for chemicals and organism taxa.

Reminders

NPR is not a binary keep / delete process. In many cases a redirect may be appropriate. The deletion policy and its associated guideline clearly emphasise that not all unsuitable articles must be deleted. Redirects are not contentious. See a classic example of the templates to use. More templates are listed at the R template index. Reviewers who are not aware, do please take this into consideration before PROD, CSD, and especially AfD because not even all admins are aware of such policies, and many NAC do not have a full knowledge of them.

NPP Tools Report

Superlinks – allows you to check an article's history, logs, talk page, NPP flowchart (on unpatrolled pages) and more without navigating away from the article itself.
copyvio-check – automatically checks the copyvio percentage of new pages in the background and displays this info with a link to the report in the 'info' panel of the Page curation toolbar.
The NPP flowchart now has clickable hyperlinks.

POV-pushing and slander accusations

Since you must know that these accusations are serious charges, I need not to explain. This is also construable as skirting on your previous topic ban where you were sanctioned for POV pushing on immigration topics, so you must be mindful. If you are confident in your accusation and evidence, you must report me on the Incidents noticeboard. Otherwise, please cease these accusations. Thank you. Tsumikiria⧸ 🌹🌉 21:04, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You should certainly stop accusing fellow editors of being "NAZIS".E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:11, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It was nowhere an accusation of being Nazis, and repeatedly construing my citations to essays as advisements as such is disruptive and uncivil. If you want to continue this thread, WP:ANI is definitely a better venue. I will not comment further here. Tsumikiria⧸ 🌹🌉 21:31, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Citing past diffs does not imply a challenge to consummated closures. Consider these edits by Tsumikiria:
- "can you provide diffs on EMG citing hate groups as sources? This is absolutely unacceptable. Under the advisements from WP:NONAZIS, this should warrant a block, at least" [1],
- "A long term or indef TBAN from BLP and American Politics may be in order, as illegal immigration isn't the only part of AP where they attempted POV editing. At this point it might be appropriate to cite WP:NORACISTS as well" [2]
Observe NORACISTS redirects to NONAZIS.

Access to source?

Hello, I'd like to ask you for a favor. You seem to have access to some subscriptions. I was wondering if you might be able to access The wall street journal 24 June 1971 "why not explode it in the geographic center of the United States in central Kansas?" This is a quotation from a WSJ article whose title is not referenced, but that is related to US Atomic Energy Commission hearings, to that year's underground test in Amchitka Alaska, to Patrick Moore the author the quote, or to the Don't Make A Wave Committee which Moore was representing. Barring error, certainly there is an article containing this quote on that issue; I'd be interested in any appearance of Moore there. If you don't have this sort of access, never mind, and thank you anyway for all do you here at Wikipedia. It's evidently a thankless job. XavierItzm (talk) 00:38, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:XavierItzm Blasting the Blast: AEC's Plan to Stage Atom Test in Alaska Brings Sharp Dissent Critics Fear Quakes, Waves, Harm to U.S.-Soviet Ties; No Danger Seen by Agency But Is This Test Necessary? Blasting the Blast: AEC's Plan for Test Brings Sharp Dissent

By JAMES E. BYLIN Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. Wall Street Journal (1923 - Current file); New York, N.Y. [New York, N.Y]24 June 1971: 1. Proquest url: [3]. The final sentence of the article is the sole mention I see of Moore, it reads: "Patrick Moore, a Canadian conservationist, points out that Japan, Canada and even the soviet Union (which is 800 miles form Amchitka) are closer to the blast site than is the contiguous U.S. and thus 'exposed to a more serious threat.' His suggestion, if the U.S. wants 'to indulge" itself in the test explode it in the geographic center of the United States in central Kansas." - note that only two phrases are direct quotes of Moore.

I am indebted to you. Is it possible for you to clarify if the title is

Article about Boundless Immigration

Hello User:E.M.Gregory, I am reaching out to you and several other experienced editors with a history of editing immigration topics. I would like to ask for your help with a new article that I and others have been working on: Draft:Boundless Immigration. I am in a fully disclosed COI position on the article and do not wish to get unduly involved in editing it further or, of course, in the decision about whether it should be moved from draft status to a live article. The draft has an unusual history. As far as I can tell, the editor who declined it in December 2018 (User:JC7V7DC5768) was relatively new to editing and was subsequently blocked indefinitely for a variety of reasons. User:Robert McClenon declined the article in April 2018, and has stated in several places that he does not get involved in new article decisions once he has weighed in. The third editor to work on it, User:Libracarol, improved it and was in favor of advancing the article before it was declined by the now-banned editor. But Libracarol has done no editing since February 2019 and has not responded to notes left on his/her talk page. Meanwhile, the article (still in draft form) has nearly 30 solid references, which suggests that the topic is notable. Would you be willing to take a look at it and offer an opinion? Others who declined it did not have extensive immigration article editing histories, and that seems to be an important factor here. Many thanks in advance for considering my request!

Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:

Allow filtering by no citations in page curation
Not having CSD and PRODs automatically marked as reviewed, reflecting current consensus among reviewers and current Twinkle functionality.

Reliable Sources for NPP

Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.

Backlog drive coming soon

Deletion of Trevor Maynard - poet

Sorry, I’ve not been keeping up on wiki and did not realise a discussion was in place. To answer the following; Trevor Maynard edits The Poetic Bond which has published eight anthologies containing the work of 230 poets, as well as having three collections of his own. The books are published by Willowdown Books which uses the Print on Demand services of Createspace and Lulu. This is not self publishing, it is Print on Demand which is being used by traditional and self-publishing authors. The reviews of plays are accurately sourced and linked to several other notable pages. Up until four years ago, this Trevor Maynard came first google search ahead of the Lloyds one. Google search now sees this Trevor Maynard returned as the second Trevor Maynard in the list. Therefore I belief this deletion is somewhat harsh and does not truly reflect the community spirit and dissemination of useful information that Wikipedia represents. I believe the article should be u deleted. PAS Peteralansoron (talk) 14:20, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

see: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Trevor Maynard.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:32, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
User:Peteralansoron. this is not a question of the literary caliber of Maynard's writing; and it is not about who publishes him (except insofar as publication by a major press is an indication that a writer may be notable). I doubt that an article on Emily Dickinson would have passed WP:AUTHOR during her lifetime.

Speedy deletion nomination of Shohret Hoshur

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 Shohret Hoshur 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, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that does not credibly 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 deleted 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.

New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019

Hello E.M.Gregory,

WMF at work on NPP Improvements

More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.

QUALITY of REVIEWING

Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.

Backlog

The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.

Move to draft

NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.

Notifying users

Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.

PERM

Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.

Other news

School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.

Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

I've been writing the article Andy Ngo for some time now. I noticed you've been writing it so I published it, feel free to edit. wumbolo ^^^ 17:50, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unprincipled editing

Would you mind explaining why you removed a description of "conservative" (sourced to multiple RS) from the lede of Andy Ngo while a day earlier inserting a description sourced to one RS (that flies in the face of several other RS) to the lede of Bari Weiss? To me, this seems utterly shameless and unprincipled, and is an example of the kind of editing behavior that makes editing in American politics dysfunctional. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 12:29, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I object to reductive ledes, of the kind you are supporting in re: Ngo, that tag people with complex political views with simplistic, one word labels. The Bari Weis edit [6] reflected the complexity of Weiss's political views.

Second topic ban violation

You have violated your topic ban for the second time[7]. You are "indefinitely topic banned from pages and content related to illegal immigration, immigration policy, and the relationship between crime and immigration",[8] yet you just now edited the page for "an anti-illegal immigration activist group"[9]. You should self-revert. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 23:44, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

apologies for forgetting myself and adding a RS to the page; I have self-reverted. I was simply going down a list of pages at AfD, running a WP:BEFORE and beginning to add sources that I found. In-depth coverage of this group comes up in a proper search. My suggesiton was going to be MERGE to FAIR, on the grounds that while this outfit existed, and was covered in reliable media in depthe, this outfit didn't get much coverage and should therefore be merged or parent org. E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:50, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you commenting on the AfD for that group even after you were made aware about your topic ban? You should self-revert that, as well. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 23:53, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments on the page about me. Not sure why some of the other reviews like those from PoliceOne and Force Science didn't come up when you searched ^[1] but I appreciate it. I hope the page doesn't get deleted but if so I think you got there honestly. Please have a look at my comments and that of Peter Moskos from this morning when you consider the page.

'Tag SPA'

Per [11], I would suggest that it isn't remotely appropriate to tag an IP who reports an issue with blatant promotional editing in an article at WP:ANI as a 'SPA', just because they then agree with said article being nominated for deletion. Even more so when it is clearly done because said IP disagreed with your questionable grounds for opposing deletion. I suggest you self-revert, and leave it to the closer of the AFD discussion to decide who is entitled to comment. 86.143.229.185 (talk) 21:41, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Um, your 1st edit and half of your edits to date were about Thomas Salme, the AfD about the Salme page, and at a noticeboard discussion of that AfD. This is what an SPA is, an editor who has edited primarily on a single topic.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:44, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Um, no. A 'single-purpose account' belongs to someone who edits largely on a single subject. Not to someone who is clearly familiar with Wikipedia policy, and hadn't edited the article (or any article on a similar subject) before, but has been editing Wikipedia for years (longer than you have, it appears), with a dynamic IP. Hardly anyone had significantly edited the article before I saw it, other then the string of genuine single-purpose registered accounts responsible from the promotional fluff I reported at WP:ANI. I am clearly no more of a 'SPA' than you are, and I consider your attempts to suggest otherwise to be entirely contrary to the stated purposes of Wikipedia. And clearly detrimental to its proper functioning, if this is the sort of response an unregistered user gets for reporting a clearly-problematic article at WP:ANI. Again, I ask you to remove the inappropriate tagging of someone who disagrees with you in an AFD discussion. 86.143.229.185 (talk) 21:55, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How, precisely, are other editors supposed to tell that you are someone who "has been editing Wikipedia for years (longer than you have, it appears), with a dynamic IP." as opposed to the SPA sort of IP?E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:13, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Review newsletter September-October 2019

Hello E.M.Gregory,

Backlog

Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.

Coordinator

A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.

This month's refresher course

Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.

Deletion tags

Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.

Paid editing

Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines' (SNG). Alternatives to deletion

Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves once more with notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
Blank-and-Redirect is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.

Not English

A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.

Tools

Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.

Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.

Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

DannyS712 bot III is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log.

Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings.

Proposed deletion of The Conservative (journal)

The article The Conservative (journal) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

It doesn't appear to be notable, except as something Daniel Hannan has done. The only sources are covering its launch and a search for more recent coverage only turns up Hannan pieces on the subject of the Conservatives in more notable outlets.
