Speedy deletion declined: Ahs dert

Hello Jinkinson. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Ahs dert, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: This is a curriculum, not an A7-eligible person/group. Thank you. —Darkwind (talk) 07:46, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Howard H. Hays page

Hello. I was actively working on the page when you flagged it for speedy deletion. I did not know that the page could be reviewed or seen before I hit "Save" for the first time. I have moved the entire body of text that I was working on to my user sandbox at User:Stevenmg/sandbox/Howard H. Hays where I will continue to work on it before putting it in the article space. If you see any additional issues with it at that time, do please let me know. Stevenmg (talk) 20:31, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion Equilibrium (video game)

Can you please tell me why this is being deleted? It stated because there aren't citations, but there are. This is an actual game that is highly anticipated from several known gaming industry devs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chaosngn (talk • contribs) 04:11, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

Yes. The reason is because at the time I tagged it for speedy deletion, it was very short and had no citations. If you want to know why there is a notability tag on the article, ask Discospinster, the user who placed it there. Jinkinson talk to me 04:40, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

Use of different language citation usage

Hi, I have been trying to edit some pages in Hindi Wikipedia but the supported citations or URL's are very less (of the topic in Hindi language searching) in number in comparison to the same topic in English searching.

Deletion sorting

Hi Jinkinson, thanks for contributions to deletion sorting. However I noticed you delsorted this deletion discussion under People. Where a person is eligible to be listed under Businesspeople, Actor etc. it's best to list them there, rather than under People as it just swamps that generic People delsort. For example a Painter would be listed under People & Visual arts whereas a Track & Field athlete would be listed under Sportspeople. A list of delsorts, alternative to people can be found here.

"Something sweet artisan cafe's" article

Hello Jinkinson.Could you help me please to clarify where the issues are in the article ? (if you have the time at the moment that is) Thanks Sugarbasin (talk) 00:20, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

Sure. Take the sentence "Founded by three brothers with a passion of doing something different in the credit boom." This suggests that you may have a connection with this company and/or its founders, as it is not sourced. Which brings me to the need for more reliable sources--the article currently has only one, and much of it seems to be original research, which Wikipedia generally frowns upon. In retrospect, it's not that promotional, but it could do without sentences like the one I quoted above. Jinkinson talk to me 00:26, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

Ok well, i just made a few edits and changed the sentence you highlighted. would you mind checking it again to see if the changes are appropriate? Sugarbasin (talk) 00:30, 8 December 2013 (UTC) maybe remove the word >different< from the sentence also? Sugarbasin (talk) 00:32, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

Immediate block can and should be sought

Hey Jinkinson. I just wanted to let you know that when you come upon an editor like Mormonpride333 posting blatant racist hate speech, you can report immediately to WP:AIV. Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy. Any admin worth their salt would block this account in a second (without the need for any slavish adherence to the normal warning scheme or even a single warning having been left), and it would be good if that did occur as fast as possible given the nature of the edits.

Category:Autism journals

Hi, There are two issues with this cat you just created. The first one is technical: it is a subcat of Category:Psychiatry journals, so if a journal is added to "autism journals", it should be removed from "psychiatry journals". The second point is more fundamental. I'm not sure it is a good idea to have a category for journals on a single disease, because it gives the wrong impression, namely that these are the only journals publishing on autism. Almost all (if not all) journal in "psychiatry journals" will regularly publish research related to ASD. Obviously, you cannot categorize any journal that has ever published something on autism in "autism journals". For one thing, that would include all "psychiatry journals", and probably a good amount of "neuroscience journals", "neurology journals", and "pediatrics journals", too. Have a look at Category:Medical journals and you'll see that they are all named after areas of specialization, not specific disorders. In addition, I personally think that "autism" is actually a collection of disorders that look similar, but have different causes. Should that ever be proven, then we'd have to re-categorize everything again (but I admit that the latter issue is only very minor). Let me know what you think. --Randykitty (talk) 16:05, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

This first point is a good one. I have removed it from the category psychiatry journals. As for the second point, I suppose that it is true that we see articles in journals like Nature that have to do with autism even though such journals do not publish exclusively in this area, but maybe a new name for my category, like "child psychiatry journals", would be more appropriate. Perhaps a thread should be started at WP:CFD. Jinkinson talk to me 16:13, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
Removing the category "psychiatry journals" is not a good idea at all. You cannot have a "standalone" category, it has to be integrated into the category tree. So if "autism journals" is going to stay, it must be in "psychiatry journals" (and the individual entries removed from that cat). Making a cat "child psychiatry" would make more sense in the current framework of journal cats, but that would add just 4 more journals. The psychiatry journal cat has only 81 entries, so I don't really see the need to split off more subcats. --Randykitty (talk) 16:47, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
Alright, you have convinced me that this category should not exist. It is now empty and I have tagged it for speedy deletion. Jinkinson talk to me 16:54, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
Great, thanks! --Randykitty (talk) 17:00, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Promotional tone and citation

You said it is a promotional tone. Would help me in this regard? How not to make it promotional especially if it is an introduction about something?

You have asked about citation that I will work on as long as the article does not go into delete section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quwatkhan (talk • contribs) 06:28, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

What the article needs are reliable sources independent of the subject, so that rules out The Dardistan Times' Facebook and Twitter pages, for example. By "promotional tone" I am referring to the use of peacock terms such as "hard-hitting"; Wikipedia articles should not be written like an advertisement. Additionally, there are problems with, for example, the UNHCR source, in which the Times is mentioned, but it is not the subject of the UNHCR article. Read WP:WEBCRIT for more information.

Do I have to add something

Hi Jinkinson, thank you for editing my new page. I'm new on wikipedia and I'm wondering about the text: "This article relies on references to primary sources. Please add references to secondary or tertiary sources. (December 2013)". The source is from 1go1.net and from the German version https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Lee . Do I have to add something? Would it help, if I ad links to the exhibition spaces, that the reader could see the artist name on this external page? Please also consider the mentioned books on the bottom of the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Lee . Best, monika

What I mean by primary sources is that several of the handful of links in the external links section are to Lee's own website, 1go1.net. It would help if you added links/references that weren't created by Lee himself. Other than that, thanks for translating the article into English.

Unfortunately, it appears the Jokerr's article is up for deletion, and is probably going to get deleted as it doesn't appear to meet our notability guidelines for musicians; thus his albums' articles will likely get deleted as well.

DYK for Animal models of autism

Discussion about your list

Just a heads up:

Brangifer (talk) 23:13, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

MEDRS

Hi. Could you please read over WP:MEDRS and make sure that you follow its guidelines when citing medical claims? In general, you should not be citing primary research articles. There are also discussions at WT:MED and WP:FTN over the appropriateness of your last DYK the hook for the last DYK article you worked on. Thanks, Sunrise (talk) 16:35, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Congratulations, you're the millionth person to tell me about MEDRS. I know about MEDRS very well, and I have tried to abide by it, but evidently I have not been trying hard enough. Anyway, I replaced one of the primary sources in Animal models of autism but I suspect you have an issue with the inclusion of the Hornig study, given that it is a primary source. However, I think it should stay provided that we say that it is contradicted by the views of every major scientific body on the planet, so we don't give undue weight to the discredited notion of a thimerosal-autism link. Also, I intend to add a reference to a secondary source to the Animal models page section about the Hornig study. BTW, I did not nominate it as a DYK, and had I done so I wouldn't have chosen to mention the Hornig study in the hook given the kerfuffle I knew it would cause. Jinkinson talk to me What did he do now? 20:23, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
Oh yeah, and as for my addition of primary sources on Thimerosal controversy, I am only doing what previous editors have done on that page, namely find epidemiological studies that contradict a link between thimerosal and autism and add mention of them one by one in the "population studies" section. I notice that you have removed the Deth study, the Hornig study, the Miles study and the Tozzi study. I can understand the removal of the first two, given that in vitro and animal studies are advised against in WP:MEDRS, but the last two should probably stay there, as they support the consensus view that thimerosal doesn't cause autism. If you're removing Tozzi and Miles, why not Hviid, Thompson, and Stehr-Green? Jinkinson talk to me What did he do now? 20:35, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply! I haven't worked with DYK before, so since you didn't nominate the article, I have struck and reworded my comments above and at FTN. Let me know if there's anywhere else I should do that. In the meantime, I've figured out who actually made the nomination and I will go talk to them instead. :-)
In response to your questions, I don't think whether the sources support the scientific consensus is an important issue in this case (the reason we have to check this in the first place is that due weight is determined using the secondary sources, which tell us what the consensus is). Perhaps my "fails MEDRS" comment in the edit summary was too strong (my personal standards are somewhat higher than MEDRS; maybe I'm misunderstanding part of the guideline?) - but the article already has plenty of primary studies with N in the tens of thousands or higher, so I don't see why we need these new ones with low N. For the examples you mention: I identified the sources from the history as those which had been recently added, so I didn't check the article in detail. Stehr-Green appears to be secondary (they did not collect the data they analyzed), whereas Hviid and Thompson appear to be primary. I would call Hviid a useful source for the article due to the massive N, but I would remove Thompson. I will hold off while I start a new talk page section.

Declined article creation Boon Tuan Boon-Itt

Hi Jinkinson, You decline the creation of my article "Boon Tuan Boon-Itt" as you say he is a non-notable person. He may be insignificant in the West, but he is notable in Thai church history at the first Thai person to start a Thai Protestant church (which I have now added to the article). He is known here in Thailand, even if he is not in the West. Thai church history is a very under-developed academic discipline, partly because of the small number of Christians in Thailand and the small number of foreign scholars who can read and write the Thai language. But I am trying to remedy that :-)

The reason why we don't yet have any well-known English language publishers with books about him. But the "Historical Sketch of Protestant Missions" listed in the References is published by White Lotus, a well-known publisher of English-language books about history and culture in Southeast Asia. But Southeast Asian history is not very well known, which is why you may not have heard of them.

Can you reconsider your decline?

Seconded. Especially as Wikipedia is aiming to reduce systemic bias to Western culture. DFH (talk) 09:40, 20 December 2013 (UTC) (Long term Wikipedian).
I have reviewed the draft and approved it - the sources provided are clearly sufficient per WP:N. BTW, per WP:NOENG sources do not need to be in English. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 15:54, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Kimball Atwood

I have done some work on the Kimball Atwood article, mostly just formatting the refs. The Institute for Science in Medicine ref has some material that might be useful for expanding the article. A list of selected publications might be in order as well as mention that he is a founding fellow of ISM and a fellow of CSI. I don't know if his appearance on SGU is notable. The TACT study discussion could possibly be expanded. - - MrBill3 (talk) 13:57, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to the 2014 WikiCup!

Hello Jinkinson, and welcome to the 2014 WikiCup! Your submission page can be found here. The competition will begin at midnight tonight (UTC). There have been a few small changes from last year; the rules can be read in full at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring, and the page also includes a summary of changes. One important rule to remember is that only content on which you have completed significant work, and nominated, in 2014 is eligible for points in the competition- the judges will be checking! As ever, this year's competition includes some younger editors. If you are a younger editor, you are certainly welcome, but we have written an advice page at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Advice for younger editors for you. Please do take a look. Any questions should be directed to one of the judges, or left on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will make it to round 2. Good luck!

Aaron Swartz

I have removed the "connected contributor" template that you placed on Talk:Aaron Swartz. While I can understand why that tag might technically have been applicable at one point, the fact is that given the number of editors who have contributed to the article and the massive expansion since User:AaronSw last edited it, the portion of the article directly derived from AaronSw's edits is small. In addition, the template contains a pointer to the conflict of interest guideline, which is no longer relevant for obvious tragic reasons. I hope you will agree that we can live without this tag.

Proposed deletion of Autism Research and Treatment

The article Autism Research and Treatment has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Not notable yet. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.

schools in New Delhi

Hello Jinkinson,

I was trying to create a category by the above name. Since categories such as schools in east delhi and west delhi already exist, I realized that a number of schools listed on the schools in delhi belong in the south delhi sub category. Blessinvarkey (talk) 17:51, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Oh, okay. In that case, you should search for "Category:Schools in South Delhi" and create that page instead of the Schools in South Delhi one. This is how you create categories. Jinkinson talk to me 17:53, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Rajeev satav

Proposed deletion of Jan C. Childress

Hi Jinkison! I just received an alert on my page from November 29, 2013, that my article on Jan C. Childres was proposed for deletion due to having no references. There are several references on the page, so I just wanted to make sure that the page would remain. Please confirm. Thanks Kershawdraw (talk) 22:45, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Yes, it looks like the article, since it now has 5 references, will not be eligible for deletion. However, it could use some more independent, reliable sources, as opposed to, for example, Photobucket and a blog (i.e. references 3 and 4). Jinkinson talk to me 00:04, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

I got a message from you saying I didn't have any references in the article I started for Barbara Rosenblat. I think you reviewed it while I was still figuring out how to add links. I have added a number of links to Wikipedia pages that include her. I added her IMDB page and some other outside references - hopefully that helps? Scowls (talk) 02:21, 13 January 2014 (UTC) 

 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scowls (talk • contribs) 23:28, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
Yes, this definitely helps, particularly the recordedbooks.com link. However, IMDB is not particularly highly regarded as a reliable source, since its content is contributed by users in much the same way as Wikipedia's content is. See Wikipedia:External_links/Perennial_websites#IMDb. Also, her official website is a primary source, and as such is not ideal for articles about living people (see WP:BLPPRIMARY). Jinkinson talk to me 02:34, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

They still say there are no references and are threatening to delete the page. Do you have any idea what kind of sources they are willing to see as reliable? I added a NY Times article - if that's not considered a reference or a reliable source then I don't know what is. 108.27.24.78 (talk) 12:04, 13 January 2014 (UTC) Never mind - looks like it passed muster - thanks for your assistance! 108.27.24.78 (talk) 18:33, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
