Disambiguation link notification for April 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Fortians, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page 1964 Olympic Games. 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.

Improper AFD closure

At the AFD i have argued for "Keep", but your abrupt closure is improper, as you know because there are outstanding votes both ways. I reverted your closure. I also had noticed that you removed notice of the AFD at the article, but you failed to record the AFD info at the Talk page of the article. Maybe you were going to do that, still, i wondered, but then you seemed to move on to edit about other topics. --doncram 02:09, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Right, I got your threat at my Talk page. Please see discussion at wp:ANI, you have been informed. --doncram 02:48, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Sofia Airport changes

Hi, can you explain to me why you're making all these changes to Sofia Airport page? I think that there are pages with far less references such as Belgrade Airport where even referenced information is being removed by the admins, because they just don't like it... I believe that the aim of wikipedia is to provide the biggest amount of information and thus I don't see the point of removing over-linked information...

anyone can edit Wikipedia, and all my edits are in line with policy. Wikipedia is not about biggest information. We do not include travel guide, tourist information as per WP:NOTTRAVEL, WP:NOTGUIDE. LibStar (talk) 10:57, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

New Pages Reviewer

Hi,
After your edits, I skimmed a little through your history. You definitely are an experienced user, and you communicate politely. Would you please consider becoming Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers? Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, currently wikipedia needs experienced users at this task. (After gaining the right, patrolling is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). —usernamekiran(talk) 07:54, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I might be wrong in this, but there have been other editors who've generated lots of articles on trivial elements of Australian foreign relations, which from memory ended with the account/s being blocked. Can you remember their user name/s or some example articles? I'm a bit worried that this may be them returning. Regards, Nick-D (talk) 05:27, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Change and provide good new in trouble

I am trying to fix and change something new, and this is just some of these. I am trying to gain my knowledge about it but so far I am getting problems of collecting sources because so many people and also due to political situation. If you want my honest, here! ZaDoraemonzu7 08:26, 26 August 2017 (UTC+7)

You need to stop asking people's such question about clarifying a source when you don't know how hard they are. I'm sick of these people who demand for so many problem thing, and then when I clarify a profile then they block it and say this is "unreal". What is unreal? Because it doesn't serve you? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZaDoraemonzu7 (talk • contribs) 06:23, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

Retaining the contribution history of merged articles

Hi, thank you for your sensible merge at Australia–Estonia relations, and for stating the source in your edit history there, in accordance with Wikipedia's licensing requirements.

Hi LibStar

This copyrights is under Strathfieldplaza.com.au, which is own and operated by Memocorp Pty Ltd.

Hi LibStar

Well if you don't like it remove the article, our trademark name and other contents and I will write up new one.

Hi LibStar. I've handed Memocorp a 12 hour block to allow them time to read over the policies they need to refresh upon, such as WP:OWN and WP:COI among others. It'll at least slow them down a notch and perhaps they'll use the timeout to realise we're building an encyclopedia, not a web hosting business for advertising. -- Longhair\^talk 05:29, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

March 2018

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Template:Foreign relations of the Kingdom of Denmark a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. --woodensuperman 13:58, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

New Page Patrol?

Hi LibStar,

I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join New Page Patrol, and from your editing history, I think you would be a good candidate. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; we could use some additional help from an experienced user like yourself. In particular, I noticed that you have a strong understanding of deletion policy, which is very important to NPP. I notice that you were previously invited to join the project, and expressed some interest.

Are you still interested in becoming a New Page Reviewer? (After gaining the flag, patrolling is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly read the tutorial before making your decision. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR.

Cheers, and hope to see you around, — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 13:09, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

Deletion review

My friend, this is not about opening a deletion review but more simply restoring a page that has been deleted "by mistake" without any community consent (one keep strongly vote and one redirect vote). Among other things, the page to which you are redirected does not contain the amount of information that the original page had. --Kasper2006 (talk) 05:58, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Lib you were hasty However you say an inaccuracy, I respect and agree with the community's decisions, I only reverted because in this case it was a "mere error". It can happen no? We are all human. One vote against the cancellation and one for the redirect (without the amount of information being transferred to the page to which it redirects), don't you think it's a simple mistake? --Kasper2006 (talk) 09:25, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2003 Spanish Figure Skating Championships

Hello, LibStar,

I just closed this AFD discussion and the way it was formatted, I needed to handle the closure of the AFD for each article you included manually which takes up a bit of time. Since you do a lot of AFD nominations, I'd like to ask you to review the information at WP:AFD on how to format bundled nominations. It's much easier for the closer when a quick select of XFDCloser handles all of the article pages that were nominated simultaneously.

Thank you for your work and all of your contributions on the project. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:59, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Ambassadors

Hi, it seems that there is some discussion about whether ambassadors should have coverage in Wikipedia or not. I have found that people have made quite extensive lists with many of the US ambassadors covered even in cases like List of ambassadors of the United States to Portugal but this clearly doesnt scale since there are 200 countries many of which send ambassadors to Portugal so I dont see how all of List of ambassadors of Peru to Portugal could ever be relevant. Even many among the US ones seems sketchy:

• Stuart Nash Scott
• Edward Morgan Rowell
• Gerald S. McGowan
• Thomas F. Stephenson
• Allan J. Katz
• Herro Mustafa
• Randi Levine

it just seems like a long list of people who fail WP:NBIO and only have an entry because they were ambassadors for a few years but are not relevant themselves. It seems to apply consistent criteria would be to either have all ambassadors past and present be relevant (which would be on the order of 200x200xN over the last N ambassadors which would be around 40'000 x N or 400'000 people over the last 10 ambassadors) or stick to the current system that only people who would be relevant otherwise pass the relevance bar. Or maybe I am missing something here? hroest 19:50, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Ambassadors are clearly not inherently notable. There are so many ambassador stubs that were created with a few primary sources then the editor never touches them again. LibStar (talk) 22:45, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

South-Eastern Suburbs of Sydney

Hi LibStar

I'm reaching out because I keep trying to improve accuracy and distinctions amongst regions of Sydney. One of them being South-Eastern Sydney in contrast to the Eastern Suburbs. Whenever I attempt to alter the suburb pages of South-Eastern Sydney to refer to them as being south-east and link them to the corresponding article I'm perpetually being bullied and my alterations with the corresponding links are being deleted inexplicably due to a Wikipedia editor's stubborn opinion. The editor in question is 'Daceyvillain'. Is there a way I can take this higher to stop this editor from removing the link to the correct articles or are you able to mediate this? 2405:6E00:289:B4FC:8134:FC2D:1810:74D1 (talk) 07:52, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Your edit history shows you have only edited today. Have you edited under a different profile? LibStar (talk) 07:54, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Yes correct, the changes made earlier today were just a different IP. Whenever I've tried to change the individual articles of suburbs within the City of Randwick and part of Bayside Council to being part of South-Eastern Sydney, Daceyvillain keeps removing the link and writing Eastern Suburbs instead because they believe that it is how it should be. South-Eastern Sydney is a region of Sydney as it has its own page and is used amongst Sydneyside e.g the south-east light rail. An editor shouldn't be abusing their power like this when I'm trying to link correct articles and provide accuracy. I've been debating with Daceyvillain on their talk page and I believe if you read through it I've made much more compelling statements to backup my argument while Daceyvillain refuses to agree and dismisses what I'm trying to say just because they choose not to believe it is so. I don't mean to drag you into this but if you're unable to assist is there a way this can be taken higher? 2405:6E00:289:B4FC:8134:FC2D:1810:74D1 (talk) 08:00, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Mystery IP address person - your replies here are misleading and manipulative. We tried to have a discussion about this earlier (on the noticeboard) which you ignored. Instead you kept reverting pages to impose your own opinion on Wikipedia. I have provided links to numerous maps which you continue to ignore. The Eastern Suburbs is a well defined area which is typically not broken up into sub-regions on maps of Sydney. Wikipedia should reflect reality instead of reflecting your opinion. Thank you. Daceyvillain (talk) 09:10, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Here are some more government maps which show the Eastern Suburbs extending to La Perouse instead of terminating at some imaginary horizontal line you are picturing near Bronte/Clovelly

This 'imaginary' line you're referring to is in plain site in the separation of the LGAs, federal electorates and there are also different series of postcodes for the Eastern Suburbs and the South-Eastern Suburbs. We can both easily find sources to back up our statements. I found a bunch.

I don't understand why the concept of the south-eastern suburbs in contrast to the eastern suburbs which are directly east of the CBD is such a difficult thing for you to accept, It's definitely not a new concept. Many south-eastern suburbs in the City of Randwick and Bayside Council are newer than the eastern suburbs in Waverley and Woollahra council.

The one being manipulative here is you because according to YOU apparently the boundaries of the eastern suburbs have 'always' included Watsons Bay all the way down to La Perouse and that the south-eastern suburbs basically does not exist because YOU choose to believe it isn't so. It would be like saying Liverpool and Casula are not south-west and are simply part of Western Sydney along with Parramatta because apparently someone said they don't believe in south-western sydney therefore making it so.

As already mentioned the south and south-east are different socioeconomically, demographically, culturally and are quite literally in separate directions from the CBD, New South Head Rd takes you to the eastern suburbs, Anzac Pde Takes you to the south-east. Bondi is directly east of the CBD, La Perouse is far south/south-east of the CBD.

The light rail is called the CBD and south-east light rail, not the CBD and eastern suburbs light rail. The telegraph is called the Southern Courier not the Eastern Courier.

I'm simply repeating my valid argument however you will continue to ignore me and believe suburbs like Botany, Hillsdale and La Perouse are part of the eastern suburbs when they're geographically south of the CBD, most people would also not think of them when referring to the eastern suburbs and they're almost completely different in every way to suburbs like Vaucluse, Woollahra and Edgecliff.

Editors like you should not be allowed to abuse their power editing factual information and links on Wikipedia just based off of your own personal opinions and beliefs, ignoring clear facts which have been presented in black and white. It's editors like you who are the reason less and less people take information on Wikipedia seriously and if no one from Wikipedia mediates what you're doing and hold you accountable you continue to get away with pushing your own and agenda providing readers with inaccurate and/or misleading information. 2405:6E00:289:B4FC:8134:FC2D:1810:74D1 (talk) 13:26, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

I’ve provided sources of official government maps which clearly show the Eastern Suburbs extending all the way to La Perouse. You may disagree with those maps but that is just your personal opinion. Wikipedia should reflect reality and not your personal opinion. Daceyvillain (talk) 16:26, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

At this point I consider you a troll. You are wasting vast amount of other people‘s time and manipulating events to portray yourself as some sort of hero. Please respect the truth and respect other people‘s time. Wikipedia is not a tool for your personal opinion. If you want to write a blog about your opinion of how the Eastern Suburbs should be defined, then go right ahead. But don’t use Wikipedia for that. Daceyvillain (talk) 16:31, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Please stop using my talk page to debate the topic.

Hello, LibStar,

Just a reminder, please post a notification on the talk page of an article creator when you tag an article for any form of deletion. If you use Twinkle and set up your Preferences to "Notify page creator", then Twinkle will post these notices for you when you use it to tag a page for deletion. I highly recommend that you use it.

Actually, I have a comment about these AFDs. LibStar, I'd like to suggest that you lay off ambassadors for a while and move on to cleaning up another area of the project. Your AFDs are seeing less and less participation and I think AFD regulars are getting tired of weighing in on deletion discussions on this subject. They are burned out on considering the notability of different ambassadors. I suggest you move on to non-notable children's shows which could use a thorough going through, there is a lot of dated junk in this area. Or really there are many, many subject areas that could use your attention. You can always return to ambassadors in a few weeks and finish up. Thanks for all of your contributions. Liz ^{Read!

Marrickville: Notable people - John Farrow

Hi LibStar

Did you have an issue with my addition because Farrow's Wikipedia article makes no mention of Marrickville? There's plenty of external references to his origins:

https://www.smh.com.au/culture/movies/the-forgotten-life-of-australia-s-most-prolific-hollywood-director-and-the-tall-stories-he-told-20210719-p58b21.html

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2021/nov/09/john-farrow-the-star-australian-director-who-hollywood-forgot

and so on - just google: "john farrow" "marrickville"

I've done a bit of digging but so far have been unable to lock down the actual address where he grew up. Though Juliett St close to Enmore seems most likely - will keep trying. There's enough good external articles to justify adding a reference to Marrickville in John Farrow's Wikipedia article. He's a fascinating character. 1.43.41.96 (talk) 03:33, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Daceyvillain needs to be banned

Daceyvillain has gone and removed accurate and well cited information from the Eastern Suburbs (Sydney) page namely the sub-regions category according to the Australia bureau of statistics purely because he doesn't like it. Can something be done about this please. He lacks the maturity to be a Wikipedia editor as he has no respect for facts and only cares about his own opinion. 2405:6E00:289:B4FC:64B2:E702:CFE6:10EC (talk) 02:26, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

please raise it WP:ANI. secondly, you should create an WP:ACCOUNT, you're obviously using different IPs as 1 person. LibStar (talk) 02:29, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. I will raise it.

I'm not those other IPs but I like that there are other Sydneysiders in the community who are agreeing with the distinctions I've been trying to tell you all along. 2405:6E00:289:B4FC:64B2:E702:CFE6:10EC (talk) 03:34, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

If someone wanted to pretend that other people agreed with their opinion, then they might edit a wiki page using multipe IPs and continually refuse to create an account, without giving any reason for refusing to do so. Daceyvillain (talk) 04:14, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Words and phrasing for the IP who edited governance is clearly different as was the hate speech. Once again stop pushing your own opinion and being paranoid. Would love some input from residences in the Eastern Suburbs in Waverley and Woollahra Council to bring you down to size Daceyvillain. You have a really bad obsessive superiority complex about where you live. 2405:6E00:289:B4FC:64B2:E702:CFE6:10EC (talk) 04:39, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

You have no idea where I live, and just like refusing to accept government documents and maps that disagree with your opinion, you refuse to accept it when I tell you that I don't live in Daceyville (not that there is anything wrong with living in Daceyville - it is a very beautiful and historic suburb which predates a very large part of the Eastern Suburbs). Daceyvillain (talk) 04:59, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi LibStar, I'm an experienced editor who no longer wishes to edit using an account. I don't know who either 2405:6E00:289:B4FC:64B2:E702:CFE6:10EC or Daceyvillain are, and I am not either of them. My interest is only to improve the accuracy of articles and I don't wish to get further involved in this edit-war, but I know you are interested in these Sydney geography articles. I know you would have seen plenty of oddball editors trying to push their real life insecurities onto Wikipedia and this is one of those instances. Please do what's best for the project. --49.255.185.235 (talk) 06:04, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

I'm guessing you are here because of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:49.255.185.235. But I'm not sure if you are just another personality of 2405:6E00:289:B4FC:64B2:E702:CFE6:10EC. Please create an account. Daceyvillain (talk) 06:06, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

This IP address is not the same as mine as we cannot be in the same place at the same time. He is right however, we should be doing what's right and factual for the article, not based off people's opinions and omissions. Every edit I've made to the page has added to its information, I mostly certainly have not edited the Eastern Suburbs page based off how I want the Eastern Suburbs to be or how I think it should be. I have edited it based off how it is. 2405:6E00:289:B4FC:64B2:E702:CFE6:10EC (talk) 06:14, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

You could easily avoid confusion and doubt by creating an account. But your refusal to do so creates uncertainty. LibStar (talk) 06:16, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

I have provided dozens of government references which you have ignored.

But you have only provided a single government reference, which actually agreed with what my references had been saying (i.e. your own reference was explicit that the Eastern Suburbs continued southwards past Bondi Junction and did not end there) Daceyvillain (talk) 06:18, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Eastern Suburbs

Thank you for trying to resolve the disputes. I am sorry for this distraction.

I am going to take a break from Wikipedia for a while. For the record, I am not completely opposed to having unofficial sub-regions on the Eastern Suburbs page, even though the Eastern Suburbs is typically not subdivided in maps. But my main concern is that, the existence of the unofficial sub-regions on the page was making it easier for classist and misleading edits to be made to that page and to other pages.

As an unrelated aside, I am very sympathetic to your concern about the notability of the myriad Portland OR restaurant articles.

You tag a lot of articles for Proposed Deletion and I just wanted to remind you to leave an appropriate edit summary and also you should notify the page creator of the deletion tagging.

Just set your Twinkle Preferences to "Notify page creator" and then Twinkle will post these notices on your behalf.

twisting the knife

Please try to be kind at AfD. I have no doubt that AB is creating articles in good faith, they just have a different interpretation than yours and mine. It's fine to respond once to deny you're targeting or harassing, but back-and-forths do no one any good and, as has just happened, can tend to turn off other well-intentioned editors. It's counterproductive. Valereee (talk) 16:26, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments. I resent being accused of targeting when I also nominate restaurants from Australia. Plus you can see I regularly nominate articles for deletion from a wide variety of topics. LibStar (talk) 00:23, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

Oh, I know you aren't targeting them/their work. I'm not either, and I've been accused of it in multiple venues by more than one editor. I just feel like the person who is in the most pain (which in this case is the one whose creations are being nominated) should be treated with as much tolerance as possible when they lash out. Valereee (talk) 15:53, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

There's also a strong element of WP:OWN. The article creator is irrelevant, what is relevant is if an article meets a notability guideline. LibStar (talk) 23:57, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

I don't actually get OWN from this. What I get is "I've done a lot of good work and for some reason I don't understand, people are targeting me." Valereee (talk) 10:40, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

I quote from WP:OWN, "Some contributors feel possessive about material they have contributed to Wikipedia." LibStar (talk) 10:54, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Yes, that's what I'm not getting -- any more of that than with the typical creator of an article. Every creator feels a bit of that at AfD, and I'm not getting more of that than normal. Valereee (talk) 11:09, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

I want to weigh in here, LibStar. I see quite a lot of articles you've sent to deletion discussions or PROD'd. So I know that your sole focus is not getting rid of Another Believer's articles. But they feel targeted when AFD after AFD comes up with you nominating their articles for deletion. I also don't see OWN behavior here as AB gets along with other editors who question their sources or who want to help improve these articles. This is about the two of you on opposing sides and from their point of view, you are seeking deletion of their hard work. That might not be a fair and accurate point of view of the situation but I hope you can understand how that this is how it looks to them.

I'm not going to tell you stop nominating articles but to try to empathize that, in an AFD forum, you are pursuing deletion of their work and how that can seem threatening. You sure aren't helping them to improve these articles! Please try to be civil and not take things personally and realize that your way of contributing to the project runs smack into their way of contributing to the project and conflict is inevitable without there being a "good guy" and a "bad guy". If you could train your deletion-focused gaze on other areas of the main space for a few weeks or a few months, I think this dispute may cool down which is all that I'm looking for. I want both of you around for a long time, no retirements, no sanctions, contributing to the project in your own fashion. Thank you for considering my proposal. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:48, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

@Liz , you've closed many of the AfDs/Prods I've sent to deletion, as you know I nominate a wide variety of articles from schools to diplomats to restaurants. I don't solely target restaurants in the US North West but also elsewhere in the US and in Australia. And I definitely do not nominate articles for deletion based on its creator, to taunt me as "targeting me" is an unfounded accusation. LibStar (talk) 04:47, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

It also seems that some people are extremely protective of articles they've created, this is why I say WP:OWN. I've never encountered at this level in my 16 years on Wikipedia. If my nominations were faulty they would have sailed through as snow keep but they don't. LibStar (talk) 04:52, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

@Liz, I don't think that's really a fair proposal. To me that feels like "Because editor X is complaining, stop doing the completely okay thing they're complaining about." The other editor is making unsupported accusations of malicious targeting. I'm willing to give them a lot of slack because I believe they believe what they're saying, but I'm not willing to then also expect LibStar to behave as if they were indeed targeting when they're not. I've been accused, and not just by that other editor, of the same thing, by multiple editors and in multiple venues, and it is extremely frustrating to be making good-faith arguments and be accused of personal malice against an editor or a subject area.

The phrase can be translated as "Pony in New York" or "Colt in New York" or perhaps as "Little Horse in New York". The characters 小马 taken separately alone mean little horse. A little horse is a pony or a colt. This can be verified via translate.google.com.

Culture in Urfa

Hey, I've noticed that this page was previously named "Culture of Urfa" and you've moved it to the current, pointing out that "in" is more common in articles about the culture of other Turkish cities. As far as I can see, that is not the case: Culture of Istanbul and such articles in other parts of the world use "of". Aintabli (talk) 02:55, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

OK. I was going off [[Category:Culture by city in Turkey]]. LibStar (talk) 02:57, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

I believe the article may use "of", which appears to be the most common in other articles. When it comes to categories, it can stay as "in," and if needed, all relevant categories could be moved to include "of". But Culture of London, for example, is part of Category:Culture in London. Overall, I think the move could be reverted, and we may worry about the categories in the future. Aintabli (talk) 03:08, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

As a note, Culture of Istanbul is the only comparable article about a Turkish city. Currently, categories of cultures of Turkish cities use "in", but as I pointed out it is not unprecedented to have categories with "in" and articles with "of", and categories may be moved in a joint WP:CFD anyways.

Universe-Spain Relations

I just wanted to drop a quick THANK YOU for policing the flood of Country X–Spain Relations articles. They are a plague, and keeping up with them is hard work for which you should be commended. Your wikiwork is appreciated. Yours Sincerely, Last1in (talk) 14:32, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. They were all created by 1 user who simply lifted material from the Spanish Foreign Ministry website and didn't bother to add any third party coverage, in the end creating some truly non notable bilateral articles. This user decided to abuse me when I attempted to nominate these articles for deletion. LibStar (talk) 14:45, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

India–Montenegro relations

FYI, you added a {{prod}} template to India–Montenegro relations about a month ago and it was deleted.

If you are inclined to do so, please feel free to nominate it for deletion at WP:AFD. --B (talk) 18:50, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Reverted edits - suburb distances

A number of recent edits have been flagged as incorrect information and have reverted. I have been sequentially updating incorrect data on suburb pages regarding distances between the suburb and the CBD, as a number of these are inaccurate. You requested that if the "the information you added was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page". The existing numbers provided did not cite a source, and the updated figures are derived from my own digital map measurements. To discuss this small change on every single article talk page would be unfeasible and unnecessary. I would like to request these edits be reinstated. Thanks.

Erin Classen

Hi LibStar,

You proposed the page Erin Classen for deletion, and when I first looked at it I agreed based on the references as they were. I did a quick search and update the page with two articles where one is a profile of her and another is a profile of her and her brother. If you have a chance could you take a look at the new references, and give me your opinion on notability? If she does not meet notability I think moving the page to a draft may be more appropriate, as she may potentially have results soon and it would save some work that way.

Disagreements at AfD

Hey, you know that we've both been active at AfD challenging weak rationales for keeping non-notable articles. I just wanted to suggest a more reserved approach. Even if you're justified (which I believe you are), editors are quick to make accusations of WP:BLUDGEONing when discussions get drawn out or result in a lot of replies. I've found it's more helpful to take a WP:COAL approach at AfD and any other contentious discussion, just stating your case, giving a single challenge to any weak arguments, and letting your comment stand on its own merits. Just wanted to share my approach. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 21:03, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Hey LibStar

You made a lot of deletion proposals of Australian handball players. They are justified. But could you please give a heads up at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Handball the next time. Because the members of the project are more familiar with handball and would have maybe found some sources. But with the Aussie you are right.

Stop deleting content that is factually correct

There is currently a discussion at [[WP:ANI]] regarding Deleting factual content. The discussion is about the topic Greystanes, New South Wales]. Thank you.

You have deleted multiple times, content from Greystanes, New South Wales that is factually correct. I have told you and asked you, and you continue to do it. This is vandalism. You have also assumed that I am claiming ownership, falsely accusing me. I have provided the details of for example, Notable People, as they are people who I grew up with, went to school with, know of, etc. Most of these have references on the internet too. But if you want to contact people directly to ask, reach out to them on Social Media if you need. Some benefit of the doubt should be given. My list was detailed, you can see there is no false facts in the list, for how broad and specific it is. I also got the information from the local library and school admin. How can I reference that? But the issue is not citing, you are DELETING. And deleting real facts that contribute to the quality of Wikipedia. Instead of deleting the junk on other pages, or editing the articles of these Notable People specifically to reflect the Greystanes, New South Wales page, you instead delete my content with the reason of "her article doesn't mention this suburb, rm under WP:BURDEN". You are the Burden. Just because the other articles are not updated, doesn't mean my content is incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Annamaria.dmrt (talk • contribs) 09:31, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Cricket articles, PROD and AfD

Hello. I'm not sure how aware you are of this, but there's a long-term consensus that where possible cricket articles can be redirected to a suitable list - perhaps with a note added to summarise content - as a valid WP:ATD.

There was also some discussion - tied up with the whole re-write of NSPORTS - about whether or not a quantitative matches limit was appropriate for cricketers - i.e. whether or not having played >= X matches would suggest that an article about a cricketer would be notable. It was impossible to reach any kind of conclusion - it's just so dependent on coverage rather than the number of matches. Although the number of matches can help to indicate that the coverage is or is not likely to exist, it's so dependent on other factors. I'd be concerned, therefore, in regards to your deletion rationale for the PROD I just removed from Cameron Brimblecombe. Iirc I've also commented on at least one AfD in the last 24 hours with the same sort of rationale - that only playing one match is not a suitable numerical qualification.

This is directly tied to NSPORTS which is clear that the quality of coverage is what matters, not the number of matches someone has played. Your rationale should be that you have considered the coverage. Brimblecombe's name isn't particularly common; it didn't take long to do the search required. There's some coverage, but not much, and at leats some of that is behind a paywall unfortunately. I don't think anyone would object to a bold redirection to List of Queensland first-class cricketers, perhaps with a note summarising the prose statement at the article added. That would, in my view, save everyone a tonne of time where there's little chance of notability being found by sources. You could always check with the cricket project about particular teams or eras - for example, Trove is such a valuable source about historical players that articles can often be written showing multiple sourcing; the same is true of New Zealanders and Papers Past, whilst some English counties have excellent prose source coverage of players, even those with only one or two appearances.

I'll leave you to redirect Brimbelcombe for now. I'll watch this page for 7 days; should you want to get my attention after that you'll need to ping me. Blue Square Thing (talk) 08:52, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Your PROD of Louise Butterworth

Hi, thanks for your contributions. I reverted your WP:PROD of of Louise Butterworth because I didn't think it was appropriate. In the PROD statement you said it "fails SPORTSCRIT", but I don't think that's true. Per the policy Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, that's achieved by the Wales Online coverage, "Athletics:Louise in pole position on her return to UWIC". Wales Online. 2009-01-14. Retrieved 2009-03-05.. There is no universal requirement for sportspeople to have competed in a world championships to be notable, so I think discretion should be used.

Hello.

Too many PRODs

Hi @LibStar, thanks for your work here. I think there have been too many PROD nominations in too short a time span. Looking at Special:Contributions/LibStar, I see 26 since 24 October and 53 since 16 October, or about 97 PRODs in total since the start of this month.

The issue I see with that many PRODs is that per WP:PRODNOM, alternatives to deletion must be considered before the PROD is made, including improving the article by editing it. In many cases, sources exist but they just need to be searched for and added by editing as required by WP:PRODNOM. For example see User talk:LibStar/Archive 13#Your PROD of Louise Butterworth where I pointed out this issue previously.

I agree with the issue of removing unsourced articles, but I think more care needs to be applied. Can you limit the amount to about 1 per day or apply further discretion to make sure the community has time to review? Thanks, --Habst (talk) 12:21, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

1 per day is a ridiculous imposition. The

vast majority of those that I have prodded were created by user Lugnuts who went on a spree of creating questionable stubs until they were permanently banned. You or anyone else can remove prods. LibStar (talk) 12:27, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Lugnuts created hundreds maybe thousands of sportspeople stubs. If I was limited to one prod per day it would take years to go through them all. I will continue to prod those of questionable notability. LibStar (talk) 12:35, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

@LibStar, OK, I have no issue with making more than 1 PROD per day alone. The issue is that WP:PRODNOM says that ATD including improving the article by editing needs to be considered first, and just because an article is a WP:LUGSTUBS article doesn't mean that it the PRODNOM process can be bypassed. How about including a link to a relevant web search that proves no sources were found? Thanks, --Habst (talk) 12:53, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

You or any editor can contest the prod with your own web search. Do not post on my talk page again. LibStar (talk) 12:55, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

I have made a bold rollback to a version from a month ago (edit battle started a week ago, but the page was pretty dormant). I'm reluctant to do anything substantive to the article right now as I'm anticipating some blowback from my revert. I hope you're OK with that. Oblivy (talk) 05:15, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

OK, I'll wait a while and make my non-controversial edits later. LibStar (talk) 05:36, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

It looks like they were already restored. Thanks for your understanding. Oblivy (talk) 06:44, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
