Sorry, but in my view there are insufficient sources congealing around a common meaning of this neologism. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 13:06, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Per WP:MEDRS

We typically use only high quality secondary sources, such as review articles, for major topics. If you need help finding these or are unsure what they are drop me a note and I will be happy to explain further. Best.

This is more or less a news story Peanut_butter_test based on a primary source and a couple of popular press pieces. I do not think it is notable yet. Sorry... Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 03:27, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
No, no, no, I already knew that. I decided to, as per WP:BOLD, just add it to Alzheimer's disease myself because I wanted people to notice the page (mission accomplished, I guess). I justified the violation of MEDRS you pointed out above because I saw that that section also relied on a number of news stories and primary sources (particularly the stuff about cerebrospinal fluid), so I reasoned that if other stuff had been added to the article that flouted MEDRS and hadn't been removed, then my addition would not be reverted either.

We noticed though that when you edited Sallie Baliunas, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page CFC (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

A1

Hey, Jinkinson, I've just declined an A1 tag you placed on an article. A1 is only for articles that have so little content that it is impossible to tell what the article is actually about, but this article (Church of God Rayos de Esperanza (Harrisonburg, Virginia, Pastor: Angel Echegoyen - Spanish Language)) is pretty clear about what its subject is. Also, in passing, it's recommended to give articles time before placing A1 or A3 (no content) tags on them, in case the author is still working on them; 10-15 minutes is generally the recommended minimum. As far as this article goes, it certainly doesn't seem to be notable at all, but as it doesn't fit any CSD criteria, it's probably best to use other means, like PROD or AFD. Thanks, Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 17:27, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

You tagged The Mione Formation with WP:CSD#A3. The tag applies, but you tagged it only three minutes after its creation. Please don't do that again (see above).--Bbb23 (talk) 17:22, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
Okay, sorry. I'll try to wait 10 minutes next time, I hope that's sufficient. Jinkinson talk to me 17:26, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
10 minutes is the minimum per the footnote. If it makes you feel any better, an administrator deleted the article prematurely, so you're not alone. :-) --Bbb23 (talk) 18:34, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 March newsletter

A quick update as we are half way through round two of this year's competition. WikiCup newcomer Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions) (Pool E) leads, having produced a massive set of featured pictures for Silver certificate (United States), an article also brought to featured list status. Former finalist Oh, better far to live and die / Under the brave black flag I fly... Adam Cuerden (submissions) (Pool G) is in second, which he owes mostly to his work with historical images, including a number of images from Urania's Mirror, an article also brought to good status. 2010 champion (Pool C) is third overall, thanks to contributions relating to naval history, including the newly featured Japanese battleship Nagato. Rhodesia Cliftonian (submissions), who currently leads Pool A and is sixth overall, takes the title for the highest scoring individual article of the competition so far, with the top importance featured article Ian Smith.

With 26 people having already scored over 100 points, it is likely that well over 100 points will be needed to secure a place in round 3. Recent years have required 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) and 100 (2010). Remember that only 64 will progress to round 3 at the end of April. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page; if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

Hi Jinkinson,

I want to be adopted in Wikipedia, would you please consider adopting me?

Regards, Jyoti

Jyoti (talk) 17:01, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Okay, I guess I'd be willing to. Since there's apparently no official thing to do to adopt someone, I guess I have now adopted you. I guess you can ask me anything you want (about Wikipedia of course). Jinkinson talk to me 21:33, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
Humm. That is interesting! :-) How about you give me a article of your choice to work on and guide me through it while I make not-correct actions? Jyoti (talk) 22:18, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
I have a better idea: you should go on Special:NewPagesFeed and try to either cleanup or nominate for speedy deletion as many articles as you can. Of course this assumes you know what the criteria are; if you don't read up on them before doing so. Jinkinson talk to me 23:02, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I have been reviewing from Special:NewPagesFeed, it is helping -- thank you. I need your advise how to handle this situation: if someone malevolently reverts my edit and I do not want to revert it again (to avoid edit war) but force him/her to discuss it in talk page while having my edits reinstated how do I do that? Assuming that my edit summary was descriptive, the edit was small and it was in compliance (of course, in my view at least). I want the other person to first justify or discuss that change and then only revert it! -- Asking this to avoid edit wars. In the same context -- Can I ask some senior editor/admin to review my edits beforehand? Is there a forum to request my edits for review? Jyoti (talk) 18:03, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

ITN thanks/advice

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your nominations at ITN. I know you've had a low success rate so far, but I do hope you continue. We certainly could use more stories. In time, you'll get a better feel for what will get support and what won't - and there are plenty of stories that can get support that are never nominated.

As a frequent nominator and long time ITN participant, I wanted to give you a few tips:

  • First, (except for obvious stories) the most important part of getting support is to write a good, persuasive argument as to why something will be posted. It doesn't always work, of course, but at least it prevents lazy opposes from people who don't immediately grasp why a story should be posted and don't care to find out. When you write snarky/frustrated comments, you aren't doing yourself any favors. It is much easier to win an argument by being nice than combative.
  • Second, if you want to truly lower the standards of ITN (a noble goal), I suggest you also take the time to comment on/support other people's nominations. You aren't going to win the battle with one stab, but overtime you can gently persuade people to change incrementally.
  • Third, as a small point, I recommend added your nominations to the current events portal (the box at the top of the day) at the same time as you nominate them. It takes minimal effort and allows at least some exposure to the story. (Portal:Current Events is link to from the the main page ITN template so gets good views.)
  • Finally, keep at it. My first crusade was to get more science published. Nowadays, science stories have a pretty easy time of it. Then I spent years trying to get more appreciation of "cultural impact", which appears to be starting to work. Now I am working on getting more acceptance for business stories. I haven't had any success there yet, but I will keep at it and hope to make progress, because if I don't no one will.

Your comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Franklin Regional High School stabbing

Hi. I see from your biographical info here that you are a college student. Thanks for being a Wikipedia editor. College takes a lot of time and dedication and I am glad you find the time to edit Wikipedia. Students have access to research material that us common citizens do not have and that is a valuable resource.

That being said, and by the way, truly meant, I fond your comment regarding Sandy Hook at the above discussion way off base. At best, a red herring, at worst, a lack of good faith. This is what I mean:

Franklin

  • Perp
    • Minor
  • Location
    • The high school the perp attended
  • Weapon
    • Knives
  • Casualties
    • Approx 20 wounded, only one with a potentially life threatening wound and he is improving.
  • Sociatal effects
    • The school may get metal detectors?
  • Life of the story
    • Remains to be seen, but there really is not much more to talk about so I would be highly surprised if it lasts past today.

Sandy Hook

  • Perp
    • Adult
  • Locaation
    • A most likely random elemntary school
  • Weapon
    • Guns
  • Casualties
    • 27 dead on the scene, plus his mommy.
  • Sociatal effects
    • Renewed nationwide interest in gun control.
  • Life of the story
    • Still being talked about today (witness your comment)

As I have shown, there is very little similarity.

Even from looking at the policies regarding the coverage of crime (WP:N/CA, WP:BREAKING, WP:RAPID), it is apparent that there are several schools of thought on how to cover breaking events ln Wkipedia. I favor waiting (in all but the most extreme cases such as Sandy Hook, which this isn't) until we have a clear picture of what has happened and what it will mean. It appears you don't, and that is just fine. Just realize that implying bad faith in AfD discussions does nothing to further intellegent exchange of opinion and neither does throwing out red herrings.

You may be happy to know that I have asked the AfD be closed as a snow. Good luck on your upcoming finals and again, thank you for being a Wikipedia editor. Happy editing! John from Idegon (talk) 21:46, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of New Gods (Withered Hand album)

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 New Gods (Withered Hand album) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for music.

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 "Click here to 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, you can place a request here.

Kary Mullis

You have repeatedly removed information provided in rebuttal of charges against Nobel Laureate Kary Mullis and have insisted on slandering him without providing his alternative explanation or room for rebuttal. This is in direct opposition to the central purpose of Wikepedia, which is to provide an open-source conduit for a diversity of views, not a back-and-forth sniping and vandalism/reprisal cycle. Please do not continue to act in such a malicious manner. You do a disservice to the community and to science by being a knee-jerk denialist instead of allowing people to make up their own minds after being exposed to the relevant arguments.

Invitation join the new Physiology Wikiproject!

Physiology gives us an understanding of how and why things in the field of medicine happen. Together, let us jumpstart the project and get it going. Our energy is all it needs.

Based on the long felt gap for categorization and improvization of WP:MED articles relating to the field of physiology, the new WikiProject Physiology has been created. WikiProject Physiology is still in its infancy and needs your help. On behalf of a group of editors striving to improve the quality of physiology articles here on Wikipedia, I would like to invite you to come on board and participate in the betterment of physiology related articles. Help us to jumpstart this WikiProject.

  • Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProkect Physiology talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
  • You can tag the talk pages of relevant articles with {{WikiProject Physiology|class=|importance=}} with your assessment of the article class and importance alongwith. Please note that WP:Physiology, WP:Physio, WP:Phy can be used interchangeably.
  • You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding reliable sources. Sourcing physiology articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!
  • We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. That layout is here. These headings let us have a standard way of presenting the information in anatomical articles, indicate what information may have been forgotten, and save angst when trying to decide how to organise an article. That said, this might not suit every article. If in doubt, be bold!
  • Why not try and strive to create a good article! Physiology related articles are often small in scope, have available sources, and only a limited amount of research available that is readily presentable!
  • Your contributions to the WikiProject page, related categories and templates is also welcome.
  • To invite other editors to this WikiProject, copy and past this template (with the signature):
  • To welcome editors of physiology articles, copy and past this template (with the signature):
  • You can feel free to contact us on the WikiProkect Physiology talk page if you have any problems, or wish to join us. You can also put your suggestions there and discuss the scope of participation.

Hoping for your cooperation! DiptanshuTalk 12:37, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Query re access

Hi Jinkinson, just a question for you that your comments made me wonder: do you generally have access to the full text of the journal articles we are discussing? NW (Talk) 15:50, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I do (being on a college campus and all). Any particular reason you're asking? Jinkinson talk to me 15:53, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
I was just going to extend an offer to share any that you didn't have access to in case that you didn't (it gets pretty tough to edit on these articles without access), but I am glad to see that it isn't necessary. NW (Talk) 16:29, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to The Bundles (album) may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Repost of Category:Eponymous debut albums

Information icon A tag has been placed on Category:Eponymous debut albums requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion process. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's discussion directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use deletion review instead of recreating the page. Thank you.

Category:Films about Jesus

Hi. You've just created Category:Films about Jesus but perhaps you're not aware of the existing categories Category:Portrayals of Jesus in film and Category:Biographical films about Jesus? It seems this new category duplicates these categories. Tassedethe (talk) 00:06, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

No, I wasn't until just now. I tried searching for one but I didn't see any, probably b/c I wasn't sure what the cat name would start with. I guess I should redirect the one I created to one of the older ones, which I intend to do soon. (However an IP has been going around adding pages to it, which doesn't help).

Speedy deletion declined: Robert Vahey

Hello Jinkinson. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Robert Vahey, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Passes WP:A7, but may well be deleted in an WP:AfD discussion - probably best to go through that process. Thank you. Shirt58 (talk) 12:41, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Sketch (software)

Hello Jinkinson. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Sketch (software), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Probably not notable, but A7 does not apply to desktop software. Thank you. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 20:28, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

I have however PRODed it since it lacks notability. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 21:43, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Ways to improve We Will Not Harm You

Hi, I'm Akifumii. Jinkinson, thanks for creating We Will Not Harm You!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. If you could add a few more sections to this article, that would be great.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. AkifumiiTalk 22:44, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for Your Input

The recommendations in FAKEARTICLES specifically allow what I am doing. To avoid any misunderstanding of my intent, I added an explanation to my User Offit Talk page and will do the same as I create User pages for other projects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SSEEGGilbert (talk • contribs) 02:23, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Adopt a user suggestion

Hi there, I saw you were currently accepting adoptees. I was wondering if you'd be willing to adopt me? I do a lot of anti-vandal work as well as patrol new pages and I think that you adopting me would be a good idea. I've got this page watchlisted, so to keep the conversation in one place, please reply here. Cheers! --Lixxx235 (talk) 02:16, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Ok, sure. Ask me anything, just do it here because otherwise I probably won't know you've asked it. Jinkinson talk to me 02:31, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
Ok, I guess could you review my edits? I'm not sure if I really need to get adopted anymore, because I got granted rollback rights and I'm pretty sure that means I haven't been making any inappropriate edits or anything. --Lixxx235 (talk) 00:40, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Please read [2]. Search for "at least 3". It is not just NICE in the UK but also all the US medical organizations. This is why we never allow popular press. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 23:18, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
