Stop with the firehose of basic geography errors

That EXIF is nowhere near Chelsea. It's nowhere near City Hall. It's nowhere near the Brooklyn Bridge. It's nowhere near Brooklyn Heights. It's nowhere near Long Island. Long Island is nowhere near Chelsea. The Brooklyn Bridge is not in the pic and not cause anything's in the way cause it's out of frame.

The white is not the smoke, it's clouds, the dirty color is the smoke. So the caption was right till your change.

The H&M signs are very far from Fifth Avenue, they're like halfway across the photo from Fifth Avenue. The flagship isn't even near the one near the signs or the H&M on Fifth Avenue.

"fixed my own egregious geographical error" did not. Brooklyn Heights is in the pic, not where it was taken. That EXIF is an entire wide river away from Brooklyn Heights.

The East River is not 0.5 miles from 30 Rock, it's not 2.3 miles away it's 1 mile away, and it's over 90 degrees from where the camera's pointing and on a clear day only a small unimportant part of the picture over 3 miles away would be East River. Why even mention it?. It's not really southeast of the camera either, more like east (Manhattan directions are 28.9 degrees clockwise of normal cause the grid aligns with the rivers not the north pole)

Yes it's only part of Midtown, 30 Rock is close to the middle of Midtown, huge parts of Midtown are out of frame, almost half its tall buildings aren't even within 90 degrees of where the camera pointed, Midtown's tallest building is well over 100 degrees away from where the camera pointed, even directly behind the camera is still Midtown till about half mile away, Empire State Building is not 1.3 miles from the camera, it's 0.8 miles, Lower Manhattan is not severely obscured it's completely obscured or maybe close enough that someone who doesn't even know the Empire is downtown of the camera could never know (Lower Manhattan skyscrapers are over 3 miles away, 14th Street is 1.75+ miles from the camera (is Union Square even visible?) and buildings 1.3 miles away are already barely visible while the Empire at 0.8 miles is much more visible than the 1.2 and 1.3 mile buildings (if half the light gets through x meters then 10x meters is 1/1,024th the light, not 1/10th). And finally the 30 Rock file HAS NO EXIF. WHERE DID ALL THE BULLCRAP COME FROM? HOW CAN SOMEONE GET FOUR DIFFERENT WRONG ANSWERS FROM GOOGLING THE SAME EXIF COORDINATE?. IT'S NOT CITY HALL, THE LINE PARALLEL TO THAT PIER AXIS DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE NEAR CITY HALL Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 09:38, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Help me! K to ℃ conversion standard, if any.

Please help me with... I had just begun using the K to ℃ conversion template on History of superconductivity when I realized that whilst ℃ was initially either parenthetical or absent, the rest of the article seemed to be exclusively in K. Is there a Wikipedia policy for this? It would, or should, cover much scientific ground! kencf0618 (talk) kencf0618 (talk) 01:33, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

While K seems like the right temperature scale to use when discussing superconductivity, I see no reason why you could not provide a parenthetical conversion to °C for each mention, if you think that will help readers understand. On the other hand, providing a parenthetical °F conversion for every instance would seem to me to be overkill. But the {{help me}} helpers are not the ones to ask this question of. It would be better to ask on the talk page of the article. If that doesn't draw any attention, try asking at the talk page of one of the WikiProjects whose banners are on Talk:History of superconductivity. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 02:32, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Unity Explorer

Just a word of explanation. When considering red links I try to follow the guidance at WP:REDLINK. No doubt the ship was attacked, which is indeed notable enough for it to feature in the "Houthi involvement" article, though I doubt it would meet WP:Notability requirements for a stand-alone article; its notability at present is limited to the content in this article. Hwever for the shell company that does nothing except own the ship as an asset on behalf the beneficial owners, and charter or subcontract it to a ship operator or manager, it is very difficult to see how it could ever be notable in its own right, bearing in mind the specific guidance at WP:NCORP. What do you think? - Davidships (talk) 17:33, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

My primary concern here is to parse "Israeli-linked", and as this writing no one (whom we know of who edits Wikipedia, anyway) knows why Number Nine was attacked. In a world of mega-fleets with many ships with fanciful names, she's definitely an outlier. As a WP:Eventualist in good standing I've linked her, Unity Explorer, and Sophie II just in case salient information becomes available. As things stand now, The Economist has noted that the more recent attacks have been apparently random. kencf0618 (talk) kencf0618 (talk) 13:09, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

  • We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
  • Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
  • Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
  • If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

New page reviewer granted

Hi Kencf0618. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:

  • Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
  • You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
  • If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
  • Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
  • Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. – Joe (talk) 08:47, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Kencf0618,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Notice

The article List of CISSP holders with Wikipedia articles has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Intersection of two non-notable characteristics (having the certificate, and having a Wikipedia article). Fails WP:LISTN.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.

Autopatrolled

Hi Kencf0618. I've removed the autopatrolled right from your account, which means that articles you create will again be reviewed by new pages patrol. I did this first because I noticed some sourcing problems in your recent creation Zoroub Hill and then, reviewing your creation log, noticed that a high proportion have been deleted (22.8%) or unreviewed by other reviewers/admins (courtesy ping @Pppery:). I'm sorry to do this and hope it will not discourage you from creating further articles; it doesn't mean that you've done anything wrong, just that I think your creations would benefit from a second pair of eyes, as is the case for the vast majority of other editors (including myself!). – Joe (talk) 13:59, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

I've no issues with this –I appreciate my work being put through a finer sieve! kencf0618 (talk) 14:20, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Aeronautics

Hi Ken. On 27 July you edited Aeronautics to insert the words “by extension” into the first sentence in the lead. You added two words but I don’t believe these words add any extra meaning, or aid readers in understanding the subject. I think these two words are redundant so I will remove them.

Wikipedia encourages Users to maintain lead sentences that provide an introduction to the widest possible audience. Plain English is encouraged. Please have a look at MOS:LEADSENTENCE.

WP:Make technical articles understandable is also relevant to a technical subject such as Aeronautics.

If you disagree with anything I have written here, please raise the matter for broad discussion at Talk:Aeronautics. Dolphin (t) 08:28, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Nyarch Linux

Hello Kencf0618, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Nyarch Linux, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nyarch Linux.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Miminity}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 05:28, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Barnstar

The Original Barnstar
Thank you for creating the timeline of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, which, as you envisioned, has since significantly grown and had many of its events pinpointed to the respective seconds at which they happened. The timeline is a valuable addition to its article. –Gluonz talk contribs 21:36, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
