Bot automation at Wikipedia:Today's articles for improvement
Greetings WikiProject TAFI members!
Over the past two weeks, there has been extensive discussion on introducing bot automation to assist with maintenance of the Today's Articles for Improvement project. 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 :)

The RM at Talk:Two+Two (film)
Excuse me, but your closure of the RM at Talk:Two+Two (film) looks a bit confused. I don't really see any evidence of a consensus for the move that was performed by the involved editor. I request you to reopen that discussion. Also, as a non-admin, you really shouldn't be closing controversial RM discussions (per WP:RM). —BarrelProof (talk) 23:11, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
- @BarrelProof: there is no consensus for the move. This is a procedural close. sst✈(discuss) 01:16, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

174.88.22.97 (talk) 21:57, 22 November 2015 (UTC)Hello this is the person that edited jonathan ive's biography. I stated that he was a tottenham hotspur fan. You said my source was not reliable. If you checked my source it was a tweet from the tottenham hotspur feed that welcomed jonathan ive as a tottenham fan. It also included him HOLDING a tottenham jersey with a smile on his face. I do feel that is a pretty reliable evidence, don't you think? 174.88.22.97 (talk) 21:57, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
174.88.22.97 (talk) 00:34, 23 November 2015 (UTC)You said it was "too detailed"??? What does that even mean? Isn't detail good? I don't understand what the problem is. He is a tottenham fan. The link I posted clearly shows that. It is the personal life section; plenty of celebrities have their sports fandom listed in such a section. Look up the actor Jon Hamm's wikipedia page. It discusses his love of the St. Louis cardinals and the St. Louis blues. I feel you are needlessly editing something that is perfectly fine. Later on I will reupload this edit. If you decide that it needs removal again, I will contact people higher on the wikipedia totem pole to get their thoughts.174.88.22.97 (talk) 00:34, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Inappropriate NAC closures
Please reverse your NAC closures of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Helen Duval and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cassidey. Both of these were contested, controversial discussions, generally not suitable for NAC action, and your closes show no attempt to determine whether several delete !votes, challenged as guideline-noncompliant, should be given significant weight (a task better left to admins generally). The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 14:09, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- I was about to post a message saying exactly the same thing. I ask that you reconsider the closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kathleen Snavely (2nd nomination). The consensus did NOT appear to lean towards redirecting, and in fact the same article was nominated for deletion only a month ago, with the outcome being keep. The article had changed very little since, so you should at least consider both discussions in my view. The consensus over the two discussions was leaning towards keeping. -- Ollie231213 (talk) 19:44, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- Done. WP:NPASR means that you are free to immediately renominate these articles for deletion, which in my opinion would be more effective than relisting that the nth time, but I reversed my closure anyway. sst✈(discuss) 00:07, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- WP:NPASR applies only to AFDs that have had little or no !votes so AFDs like Helen or Cassidy shouldn't be closed as No Consensus NPASR, If anyone renominates an article whatever the outcome then they tend to get bit of a bashing so it's probably best to lay off the No Consensus closures until you fully understand it (Sorry I'm not trying to sound condescending or harsh!), Happy editing :), –Davey2010Talk 00:38, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- I re-closed the Snavely AFD. The one you closed (correctly, I think) as keep was superceded by the more recent one to redirect. Since it's now a redirect, the first AFD is moot. Why they re-nominated a month later is unclear, at least to me. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 14:19, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

This wasn't exactly a clear "keep". More of a "no consensus" if anything given how one vote was just an "it's interesting" rationale (not a valid reason for retaining an article), and therefore doesn't really count for consensus. Your given rationale was misleading for this closure. Snuggums (talk / edits) 06:22, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- SNUGGUMS, I believe that I have closed your AfD nomination appropriately. If you disagree with it, you may take it to WP:DRV. sst✈(discuss) 08:06, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- I'd agree with the close on the Clemens AFD. If you go by !votes, you've got 4 to keep and 2 to redirect, with 1+nom to delete. The keep arguments resulted in sources being found and added to the article. What tips it is that the sources discuss clemens himself - not just as the father of Mark Twain, though obviously that's a factor. Discount the INTERESTING Keep, and you still have three who can make a weak case that the subject passes GNG - which, with the sources and a few bucks, gets you a cup of coffee. DRV might be your best bet, Snuggums, but it's a narrow thing. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 14:19, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- Here is another one Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Bois_Beckett_Forest, I would suggest that you refrain from closing AFDs. Mrfrobinson (talk) 23:13, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
