Something to make your life easier!

Hi there Ghostrighter! I've just come across one of your articles, and noticed that you had to create titles for your url links manually.

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 it (as detailed on it's page), 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! Take a look at your article now that I've reflinked it, and you'll see what I mean. Happy editing!

Another tip!

Thanks for your thanks on my talk page - it's always nice to be appreciated :D When you're posting on a talk page, use the "New Section" tab on it (which will automatically give you a title field and add your message to the bottom of the page), and remember to type four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your message; this means that people won't miss your message (some of our talk pages get very long, lol!), and the four tildes will automatically sign, date, and time your message. All the best , Pesky (talk …stalk!) 06:49, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To-do list!

Hi again - here's a little "mission" for you; go through the articles you've recently created, and give them some "polishing up" using Reflinks! And here's a heap more information for you as well!

Hi Ghostrighter, 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:Ghostrighter/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.

One last thing to keep as a motto: "It's better to write one good, well-referenced, nicely-presented article than it is to create fifty unreferenced one-line stubs!" Pesky (talk …stalk!) 08:32, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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:Ghostrighter/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 Ghostrighter! 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!

List of highest-grossing films in Taiwan

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of List of highest-grossing films in Taiwan, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_highest-grossing_films_in_Taiwan&redlink=1.

It is possible that the bot was mistaken and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

E-commerce sites

Hey, just giving you a head's up - e-commerce sites like Amazon aren't usable as a source on Wikipedia because their purpose is to sell the user something. This can make an article seem promotional, even if the intent isn't to promote, since it gives off the impression that the article (and Wikipedia) specifically endorses the author. I think that the only time that they can be used is in rare situations, like if you had a link to her name on the ABNA awards website. Anything else should be through another outlet. I've removed this from two of your recent pages. On a whole they look to be well written, but I will caution you that you need to have less primary sources and more secondary, independent sources. The easiest way to do this is always reviews in newspapers and the like.

On a side note, be careful about listing awards and accolades, as very few of them are considered to be the type that would give notability on Wikipedia. It's incredibly tough to assert that something is notable enough to give even partial notability on here, as there are just so many writing awards out there and some of them are vanity awards. As far as publishing history goes, be careful of that as well since being published doesn't give automatic notability on here anymore. I've tried to argue for some notability to be given based on the number of copies in libraries, but that was a no go. (A bunch of us did help establish that notable bestseller lists could give notability, though, so that's a plus.)

Anywho, just a head's up. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 11:31, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

For example, the Sacrifice Anthology Contest mentioned in Chow's article looks to be a blog contest where the winners were published through CreateSpace, Amazon's self-publishing arm. Most blogs are considered to be self-published sources and most sort of make up their own contests on the spot. At best awards of this type are sort of just padding on the article, as they can't give notability and in some situations they're even seen as indiscriminate data. For example, there's been a few situations where someone listed 10+ blog awards or nods as part of blatant publishing. This isn't the case here obviously, but as a result blog awards and similar awards kind of get seen as a bit of puffery, so be careful of that as well.

GR: Thanks for the feedback! Feel free to edit!

Speedy deletion nomination of Tony D'Souza

Hello. A tag has been placed on Tony D'Souza 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 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 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.

Referencing in articles

Hello, Ghostrighter. I notice that a couple of your recent articles (John Love (judge) and K. Nicole Mitchell) use "id." and "supra" in references. This is discouraged in Wikipedia - see WP:IBID. Instead, it is recommended to use named references. To see an example of the difference, I have made this change to John Love (judge). --Gronk Oz (talk) 15:10, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I cannot make the same fixes to the second article, because of the exact issues why this is deprecated: there is on that says "supra, n. 6" - I assume that was intended to refer to reference number 6, but that is one of the "Id." entries. You seem to be creating a lot of articles today, so please use recommended forms of references so you don't keep creating them with this problem.--Gronk Oz (talk) 15:18, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is helpful. Thank you!

Thursday April 4 and Friday April 5: Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College

Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College is hosting the second annual Wikipedia Translatathon! At this event on Thursday evening and during the day Friday this week, anyone from the public is invited to LaGuardia to join students, professors, and CUNY faculty in translating Wikipedia articles among any languages which attendees understand. Themes for this event include public health and the history of New York City.

New York City has a large immigrant population and great diversity of speakers of various languages. Among all schools in New York City, LaGuardia has the highest percentage of immigrant students, the highest percentage of students who speak a language other than English as their first language, and the greatest representation of language diversity. It is a strength of LaGuardia that it can present "Wikipedia translatathons", which are Wikipedia translation events.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jay Caspian Kang

A tag has been placed on Jay Caspian Kang, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of 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 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. 174.194.131.131 (talk) 11:47, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely. Asia Art Archive will host a sister event in Hong Kong next week.

Hi thanks for creating [[Chen Jia-shang]). Unfortunately Wikipedia cannot be used as a source in Wikipedia, so where you have relied on the zh.wiki article as a source you will need to provide a genuine reference. Mccapra (talk) 12:10, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your message on my talk page. I don't think the removed content can be reincorporated unless it meets Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Reliable sources. That is, reliable, independent, secondary sources documenting the importance of the JPTOS should be used. --Edcolins (talk) 21:14, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Tanuj Chopra

A tag has been placed on Tanuj Chopra 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 real person or group of people 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.
