Speedy deletion declined: Bill Pittendreigh

Hello Jip Orlando, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Bill Pittendreigh, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: writing a textbook that was used by multiple universities and serving as president of a notable body are both claims of significance. If you are interested in learning more about how speedy deletion works, I have compiled a list of helpful pages at User:SoWhy/SDA. You can of course also contact me if you have questions. Thank you. SoWhy 08:35, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi SoWhy, and thanks for taking the time to respond to the CSD tag. Even though you declined it, I appreciate that you follow up with reporters of these things- mistakenly tagged or not. Take care, Jip Orlando (talk) 12:39, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi Jip Orlando. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing!  Swarm  talk  00:42, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Days of the year pages

Regarding this edit, it appears you did not read the edit notice where it says, "The formatting of this page is considered static and should not be changed without discussion (and consensus) at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Days of the year.) There is a reason why we use HTML entities instead of Unicode for the en-dashes. As such, I have reverted your edit. Regards, howcheng {chat} 01:25, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi Howcheng, and thanks for your note. I will keep that in mind in the future regarding the 'Days of the year' articles. Best regards, Jip Orlando (talk) 12:33, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Just passing through, and I thought I would try to spread a little New Year cheer, by supplying you with one or two links / potential reference sources for the above. So there's [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], and [22]. There is no doubt that the combo are notable, if only for their solitary entry in the UK Singles Chart in August 1963 with "Only the Heartaches" (No. 22, 10 weeks therein).[1]

I have composed several obscure-ish 1950s/1960s UK musicians' Wiki articles over the years including, more recently, Keith Kelly. But Wells and his gang(s) are not my cup of tea musically. Does this help you to get started, or are you more likely to pass and move onto other things ? Either way, Happy New Wotsit.

Hi Derek R Bullamore. That helps tremendously. Thank you very much for providing those sources. I first heard Houston Wells and the Marksmen on a local university radio station that plays things not commonly heard, and was intrigued by them. Of particular fascination is their association with Joe Meek. This helps me get started. Thanks again, and happy new year! Jip Orlando (talk) 12:39, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

a little favor for Lori Jo Hendrix and Coreca

Good evening from Calabria, from the small village of Coreca.

I am writing to say hello and know how you are today, I am well enough despite recently losing my father, besides this I wanted to ask you if you could kindly help me to improve the article about this actress. Of course if you can do it you would do me a great favor and I will very kindly change your kindness with articles in Italian and other dialects of my beautiful Italy. Waiting for your answer and to hear from you soon I wish you a happy evening.--Luigi Salvatore Vadacchino (talk) 18:50, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for marking this as a speedy. I reviewed the page and reverted to the newest non-copyvio version, and deleted the intervening revisions. UninvitedCompany 16:33, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Wow, a bureaucrat wrote on my talk page! Thanks for your note, and thanks for taking care of the RevDel. I installed Enterprisey's script for picking out revisions for RevDel, so I will see how it goes. I wasn't sure if there was much of anything worth saving, as the article is uncited. So I applied the CSD tag. I use it sparingly and only for cases where I think there is nothing worth saving. Of course, deletion is the last action that should be taken, as per my previous correspondence with SoWhy. Best regards, Jip Orlando (talk) 17:46, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

Sources needed for Days of the Year pages

I see you recently accepted a pending change to January 22 that did not include a direct source.

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the content guideline and the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide. I've gone ahead and un-accepted this edit and backed it out.

All the pages in the Days of the Year project have had pending changes protection turned on to prevent vandalism and further addition of entries without direct sources. As a pending changes patroller, please do not accept additions to day of year pages where no direct source has been provided on that day of year page. The burden to provide sources for additions to these pages is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages. Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 15:03, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

@Toddst1: Yes, I am aware of the requirement. I saw in the article that the IP added had two references regarding her birth date, do they need to be cited on the Day of the Year page itself? Are the references cited in that article unacceptable? Thanks, Jip Orlando (talk) 17:15, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
The Days of Years (DOTY) pages were becoming a complete mess with incorrect and unverifiable info so things have changed so that all new entries require a direct source on the DOY page.
The DOTY project had exempted themselves from verifiability. As a result, almost none of the pages had any sources to back things up, based on the naive (and against Wikipedia policy) belief that all entries would be backed by reliable sources in the linked article. It turns out that was not the case and the DOTY pages were filled with incorrect info and even worse, other places started believing the info there and publishing the incorrect info in newspapers, for example on "Today's date in history" type listings.
So about a year and a half ago the DOTY project took the bold step of requiring that all new entries be backed by direct reliable sources. Several of us have gone through and started cleaning things up. May 11 is an example of where we want to be. For details see the content guideline, the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide or the edit notice on any DOY page.
We could use your help in:
  1. Preventing new entries that don't include direct sources and when they occur, either supplement them with a reliable source or reverting them.
  2. Helping us clean up articles. The project members have asked all participants to go through their birthday and clean the entries up by adding reliable sources to each entry, or removing entries where reliable sources aren't readily available.
Now as far as the sources on the bio, the CALIFORNIA BIRTH INDEX says "The information on this site is based on public records and is believed to be accurate. However, it is provided without warranty of any kind, express or implied." so it is marginally reliable. I have no idea on the other source. Toddst1 (talk) 17:30, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
Thank you, I appreciate the response. I see now that the DOTY project prefers the citation to be included on the particular day of the year. If I have time I will start checking random DOYs for accuracy. Best, Jip Orlando (talk) 17:35, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
Your efforts have not gone un-noticed. Thank you. Consider joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Days of the year? Toddst1 (talk) 01:37, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

European water polo championships

Hi, I got a problem with Pelmeer10. Please, this is official LEN medals table for both competition, men's and women's. You can see what I say so many times - Medals from USSR belong to Russia, and from Yugoslavia to Serbia. Check this, please [1]

However, read this [2]

Serbia clinches 4th title in a row, though Spain falls only in shootoutFor the first time in the history of the European Water Polo Championships, the penalty shootout decided the title and it was retained by Serbia, despite an electrifying performance of the host Spaniards. This was the Serbs’ 8th gold medal, and the 7th in the last nine editions since 2001. Croatia got rid of its demons and clinched the bronze medal after four lost matches played for the third place in the past.

So, this is the prouv what i talking about, and Pelmeer10 delete this.

I hope so you can stop him. Thanks. BudvaMontenegro (talk) 15:41, 27 April 2020 (UTC)


Hello BudvaMontenegro, and thank you for your message. I'm sorry you are in a dispute with another user over the European Water Polo Championships. I have no opinion on the article and accepted the change to the article in my capacity as a Pending Changes reviewer; I briefly looked over the change and saw it was sourced and did not go into further depth. If you have concerns with the changes, I encourage you to drop a note to the talk page of that article, or bring it up to WP:WikiProject Swimming. Again, I have no opinion on the article and am the wrong person to address a content dispute with. Best of luck in gaining consensus for your changes, Jip Orlando (talk) 16:06, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

schools are generally considered notable

Hello Jip Orlando! You have reverted my adding of {{Notability}} in Lake Forest High School (Illinois), stating "schools are generally considered notable"

Every school in the world? Every kind and level of school (form Kindergarten to post-doctoral)?

Where is it states in Wikipedia policies? --79.25.201.122 (talk) 21:59, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello 79.25.201.122, see WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. Perhaps I should have been clearer- secondary schools were assumed to be notable until February 2017, after an RfC. They are generally presumed notable because of the huge amount of press releases and news stories that get written about them. For example, do a quick search for 'lake forest high school news' and you'll find a high amount of coverage. In rejecting the notability tag, I quick checked the references and found that it is reasonable to assume/believe that the entity is notable. Of course, they are still subject to WP:N and WP:ORG. To answer your question, not every school in the world is notable. One common outcome of deletion discussions involving schools usually is redirecting the entry to the corresponding school district. I hope this answers your concerns. Jip Orlando (talk) 23:04, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
