New variant

The Nestlé Bear Brand has new variant, it is a yoghurt, called Bear Brand Yogu. You can see to [www.nestle.com.ph www.nestle.com.ph]]. --cyɾʋs ɴɵtɵɜat bʉɭagɑ!!! (Talk | Contributions) 03:47, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

DYK template?

Is there a DYK checklist for reviewers somewhere? I just reviewed one and the one about We're Going on a Bear Hunt caught my eye, but the idea of constructing another free-form review is making me think twice. (I guess that I don't really want a template, which implies a list of parameters to figure out, but a list of things to mention would be handy.) (Please {{ping}} me; my watchlist is hopeless.) WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:46, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

  • Ensure the article is long enough (at least 1,500 characters of prose, ignoring infoboxes, categories, references, lists, and tables etc.) and new enough (no more than seven days old)
  • Ensure a QPQ review has been done if one is required (required for users with over 5 DYK nominations)
  • Make sure all non-lead paragraphs have inline citations
  • Perform a check for potential copyright infringement. Earwig's Copyvio Detector is functional for this, and copying phrases/sentences from the submission article into a search engine can also reveal potential copyright infringement
  • Ensure that hook content is verified with a citation to a reliable source in the article, at the end of the sentence stating the information
Hope this helps out. North America1000 01:31, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Mayorkun

Good day North America, I have explained why this article Mayorkun should not be speedy deleted. I think my explanation is very clear , The article was mistakely deleted because a suckpupet editor voted deleted and it was only one vote which was the sockpuppet and have been blocked. As for the citeria it passes its citeria because the article was accepted by a submission before it was deleted--Donald422 (talk) 08:48, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Oh, I think that will be better , thanks for the explanation, because I was trying to clear some discussion regarding the AFD for Mayorkun Bishonen --Donald422 (talk) 23:15, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Speedy keeping the article on Layout engine nominated for deletion

Hi, you closed a nomination for deletion with speedy keep as a result, indicating that I didn't present a valid rationale for the deletion of the article and referring to some valid reasons in WP:DEL-REASON. For my understanding, could you please clarify this? Doesn't reason no. 7 in the list apply? ("Articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed") Or are you saying that there haven't been any such "thorough attempts" yet, and that, as a consequence, articles without sources and without "thorough attempts" to provide any are to be kept in Wikipedia regardless of their age? --Kellerpm (talk) 14:18, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello, Northamerica1000. You have new messages at Kellerpm's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
  • Hi Kellerpm: The deletion rationale you provided did not state anything about source searching. It's verbatim rationale was "Article cites no sources whatsoever since at least September 2015". From the rationale presented, there was no way of knowing whether or not you searched for sources, and per WP:NEXIST, topic notability is not based upon the state of sourcing in articles. Feel free to renominate the article for deletion if you'd like, but I'd recommend stating that the topic does not meet notability guidelines, if you feel it does not. Regarding the notion of unsourced articles being retained regardless of their age, check out WP:NOEFFORT for some opinion information about why said articles are not automatically deleted.

Actually, I was about to change my 'delete' to 'keep', which would have made a consensus, considering that the nominator withdrew it. But then I noticed you closed the discussion. I guess the result is the same either way. ~Anachronist (talk) 07:27, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

  • Hi @Anachronist: Despite the "The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it." notice atop the closed AfD discussion page, if you'd like, you can add your new commentary there. I'm all right with that in this instance. If you do so, I request that you include a link in diff form to this discussion here so others will have a point of reference regarding the addition (e.g. you could state: Post-closure comment (allowed per discussion at [diff to this discussion])) You can also add your rationale to the article's talk page, or even the talk page of the deletion discussion, although it's unlikely that anyone will see the latter option.
I can also re-open the deletion discussion for you to change your post, but even if your rationale for retention is very strong, some of the other keep !votes are a bit weak in the discussion ("Keep. As explained above", essentially a WP:PERNOM rationale and "Keep. Plenty of reliable sources", but no reliable sources were presented to qualify the stance), so the overall outcome would likely remain as no consensus, relative to the strengths of the overall arguments presented within the entire discussion (I don't base my AfD closures upon a simple !vote count). Some of the delete !votes could also be interpreted as a bit limited, such as basing notability only upon whether or not museum collections or major art reviews are available and commentary such as "All the red links makes be suspicious". Let me know how you would like to proceed. North America1000 08:30, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
Thanks. The comment just prior to the nominator's withdrawal included convincing sources, both to the nominator and myself. ~Anachronist (talk) 16:24, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
@Anachronist: I noticed your addendum at the discussion (diff). Thanks for your care regarding this matter; I have respect for accuracy in deletion discussions, and I commend your checking-in on the discussion. I'm going to leave the close at the discussion as no consensus. North America1000 20:20, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
That's fine, thanks. With the addition of new sources to the article, I doubt that it would be re-nominated for deletion. ~Anachronist (talk) 20:23, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors February 2017 News

Guild of Copy Editors February 2017 News

Hello everyone, and welcome to the February 2017 GOCE newsletter. The Guild has been busy since the last time your coordinators sent out a newsletter!

December blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 11 through 17 December; the themes were Requests and eliminating the November 2015 backlog. Of the 14 editors who signed up, nine editors completed 29 articles. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all who took part.

January drive: The January drive was a great success. We set out to remove December 2015 and January and February 2016 from our backlog (195 articles), and by 22 January we had cleared those and had to add a third month (March 2016). At the end of the month we had almost cleared out that last month as well, for a total of 180 old articles removed from the backlog! We reduced our overall backlog by 337 articles, to a low of 1,465 articles, our second-lowest month-end total ever. We also handled all of the remaining requests from December 2016. Officially, 19 editors recorded 337 copy edits (over 679,000 words).

February blitz: The one-week February blitz, focusing on the remaining March 2016 backlog and January 2017 requests, ran from 12 to 18 February. Seven editors reduced the total in those two backlog segments from 32 to 10 articles, leaving us in good shape going in to the March drive.

Coordinator elections for the first half of 2017: In December, coordinators for the first half of 2017 were elected. Jonesey95 stepped aside as lead coordinator, remaining as coordinator and allowing Miniapolis to be the lead, and Tdslk and Corinne returned as coordinators. Thanks to all who participated!

Speaking of coordinators, congratulations to Jonesey95 on their well-deserved induction into the Guild of Copy Editors Hall of Fame. The plaque reads: "For dedicated service as lead coordinator (2014, 1 July – 31 December 2015 and all of 2016) and coordinator (1 January – 30 June 2015 and 1 January – 30 June 2017); exceptional template-creation work (considerably streamlining project administration), and their emphasis on keeping the GOCE a drama-free zone."

Housekeeping note: We do not send a newsletter before every drive or blitz. To have a better chance of knowing when the next event will start, add the GOCE's message box to your watchlist.

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Miniapolis, Jonesey95, Corinne and Tdslk.

To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

A barnstar for you

The Original Barnstar
For creating List of buildings in Dubai, List of shortbread biscuits and cookies, Rabbit stew, and List of restaurants in Paris. I am surprised those last two didn't already exist. They do now, thanks to you, and they are a great asset to Wikipedia, as are you. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:30, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
You know how I feel about content creation and those who create it. That makes you just about my favourite person around here. You churn out huge amounts of fine content. As for rabbit stew, great article, lousy stew. Have you had it? Rabbit is awful. Maybe they need to be fattened up with corn like cows. And the ubiquitous carrots in that stew? What's that about? I'm not sure if that's a kind gesture or a cruel joke. :) Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:47, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
Anna Frodesiak: I've actually been lazy so far this year about content creation, but I have more ideas. I accidentally de-linked your user page when editing my watchlist at some time, so I missed some of your new article additions on your user page. Rabbit meat...tastes like chicken. For what it's worth, many stews and soups use a mirepoix as an ingredient standard. North America1000 06:57, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

Need help

Hi,

I am new to Wikipedia, I have seen you have contributed and helped to many pages so I wanted your help in content addition to Wikipedia page. John.Smith123 (talk) 10:59, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Need your help

As I have told you earlier, I am not so knowledgeable in addition of content to Wikipedia. So I need your assistance in adding content to Titan Wikipedia Page. In history of the page I saw there are many content deletion and reverting of content to old version so i don't want that to happen when i am adding the content. The reason why i am interested to updated more the Titan company is that, they are largest and world famous company and brand you would also be knowing about them. I don't know who updated the content but i want to add latest information about the company. So please help me. Thank you. John.Smith123 (talk) 09:52, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I noticed that you used the phrase 'world famous' in your post above. This may mean you need to avoid promotional language when you edit. Best Regards,   Bfpage  let's talk...  11:44, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
@John.Smith123: Check out the following pages which may be useful for you: Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia and Wikipedia:FAQ/Contributing. There's also Wikipedia:FAQ and Wikipedia:FAQ/Editing, among other pages. When adding content to pages, please be sure to follow Wikipedia's standards for verifiability and be sure to cite souces from reliable sources. Write content in an neutral, non-promotional tone. Following these standards will help to ensure that your work is not reverted by other users. You can also post specific questions at Wikipedia:Help desk. I don't spend much time mentoring new users, and I am taking a semi-wikibreak, so I suggest that you direct specific questions to the Wikipedia:Help desk. North America1000 11:55, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Need help

Thank you for the suggestion. Can you help me by contributing to the page. John.Smith123 (talk) 05:28, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

I'm going to pass on becoming involved, in part because I'm busy with other matters, and in part because I'm taking a semi-wikibreak. Also, the Titan page is a disambiguation page, and it's unclear if you're referring to this page or another one. As I stated above, I recommend seeking assistance at the Wikipedia:Help desk if you need assistance with general editing matters. North America1000 11:48, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Problem with histmerge?

I ran across a very odd diff in the article Last Tribe. I saw that you had done a history merge a couple of months ago, and wondered if some stray bit had escaped the process (which I know nothing about). In the history, I clicked on "prev" to see the diff between the first edit and the second. I immediately noticed that the supposed "first" edit had a link to its previous edit. Of course I clicked on it, to get this diff, complete with vandalism. Besides the obvious, that diff shows the most recent article edit (yours, in 2016) on the left and the oldest edit (by the vandal in 2005) on the right, with "52 intermediate revisions by 31 users not shown".

I have to say, the combination of the screaming vandalism and the reverse diff is one of the craziest things I've seen on Wikipedia. I thought you might want to fix it, or would know who to go to to get it fixed. — Gorthian (talk) 05:03, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

  • Hi Gorthian: First of all, ha ha. I've seen lots of vandalism on Wikipedia, but this actually cracked me up upon seeing the diff you provided. Just ridiculous, but it is a bit clever. In the article's Revision history, the contentious edit appears as the first edit (link). It's unclear how this turns up out of the normative diff chronology, and it's unclear why a previous version diff would even be present linking ahead in time for the first edit in the Revision history. When clicking through the most recent diffs using the Revision history, it doesn't show up at all, yet on that first page, a previous diff is there that links to the page move on 31 December 2016, out of chronology.
The hist merge appears to be in order, because everything is in appropriate chronological order in the Revision history. The vandalism itself does not particularly qualify for revision deletion per the criterion at WP:CFRD, and it may actually be okay in this instance to leave it in place as a strange and uncommon occurrence that could be referenced in the future if similar matters occur. If I were to delete the 20 March 2005 entry per the page's Log page, it would likely correct the matter, but again, it may be okay to just leave this in place as an odd occurrence that could be referenced.
Otherwise, I'm not sure that I want to spend a bunch of time trying to figure out how the diffs are differing in this abnormal manner. The nature of how the vandalism is superimposed atop content of the page (with the wiki-markup used) may have something to do with this, or it may not. North America1000 09:48, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Today's articles for improvement

Hello, Northamerica1000 - It seems to me that Wikipedia:Today's articles for improvement is languishing. Not enough editors are going to the page, and votes are few and far between. I'm wondering if we could think of ways to drum up interest. Any ideas? How about drawing up a message reminding editors who have contributed in the past year that their votes are needed, and posting it on their talk pages? How about a short-term banner to post somewhere?  – Corinne (talk) 02:57, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

  • Hi @Corinne: If you'd like, you can compose a message that I can send to project members using mass messaging, which would be sent to users on the project's notifications list. As you stated above, another idea is to create a Wikipedia ad banner, which the project does not presently have (nothing on the templates page). Information about this is at Template:Wikipedia ads. Users could then post this on their user pages if interested in doing so. North America1000 18:35, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
O.K. I'll give both approaches some thought. Before I compose the message, can you tell me if the list of articles on the list, or queue, is getting shorter? Is the project in danger of running out any time soon? If so, that could be one arguing point.  – Corinne (talk) 01:07, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
  • Hi @Corinne: With 338 entries currently listed at Wikipedia:Articles for improvement, with one article being selected per week, there are 6.5 years worth of entries. so no worries about running out of content. I don't know if the list has become shorter or not, because I don't feel like going through the page's Revision history and making a bunch of comparisons to content on the present page (working on other matters), and again, there's 6.5 years worth of content now. North America1000 08:43, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
Thanks, North America. I guess I didn't really word my question right. I meant, is the list getting precariously short, and you've already answered that.  – Corinne (talk) 14:47, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

The fact was ... that Ramen Street is located in a basement? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ramen Street. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Ramen Street), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Deletion of article on Elena Levon

Hi, I see you were the admin who acted to delete the article Elena Levon. I don't know how I missed the deletion discussion, but somehow I did. Anyhow, I am asking you to reconsider the decision in light of these three articles written about her loss and recovery of some luggage while traveling in Indonesia in June of last year. Each has a different named author, and each is specifically about Elena. I grant you that this is not quite the same as having a leading role in an academy award winning film, but I think it provides evidence of her having sufficient genuine real-world notability, especially in light of WP:BIAS, to warrant an article. Please consider it. Also, please understand that I have never met Elena, do not work for her, and have a long edit history on a wide range of topics other than Hollywood models and starlets— if the article sounded WP:PROMOTIONal, which was mentioned in the deletion discussion, it wasn't because I had any incentive or intention to make it so. Thanks! KDS4444 (talk) 04:43, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

  • Hi KDS4444 I don't know. All three of those articles you provided are short, and the press coverage in all three is initially based upon the subject losing her baggage. This could essentially come across to users as a WP:BLP1E matter. Here's a rundown:
  • Link 1
  • English-translated page: Based upon losing baggage. Quotes content from the (now deleted) Wikipedia article. Then has four paragraphs of general biographical information, which all appears to be sourced from the subject's personal website [mselenalevontraveling.com
  • Link 2
  • Translated page: The first paragraphs are about the subject losing her baggage. The second three paragraphs essentially consist of the same content in link 1 above, in part quoting content from the subject's personal website.
  • Link 3
  • Translated page: The entire article is based upon the subject losing her luggage, and contains no biographical content other than referring to the subject as a "Hollywood actress".
I don't feel that the subject meets WP:BASIC at this time, nor does it appear that the subject meets WP:NACTOR. The coverage is all based upon the losing of baggage, and otherwise relies upon a primary source (the subject's personal website). I look forward to your comments about my review herein. North America1000 16:44, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
Fair enough. I suspect the subject's notability will be made more clear with time. My intent in providing these three links was to show that she is in fact notable— so notable that when she loses her luggage in Indonesia, the newspapers report it (personally, I never seem to get that kind of attention whenever I lose my luggage at LAX!). I didn't mean to suggest that these three links constitute the current evidence of her notability but rather that they show she is notable enough to receive this kind of attention (does that make sense?). The frequency with which her name and photos occur on the Internet is another kind of evidence— even though photos, of course, cannot be used to create a Wikipedia article. My thinking was, "Well, if she is being named and photographed in all these contexts, then she looks like she's notable to me." The BLP1E for her lost luggage doesn't quite fit, I don't think: while it was certainly "1E", it was reported in these sources not because she had anything to do with her luggage being lost but because she was notable enough for the loss of her luggage to be reported on by three different newspapers. This is different from being the pilot of the plane that crashed or the owner of the monkey wearing the jacket in the Ikea parking lot— in those contexts, it is the event that made those involved [non-] notable; I am arguing that it is the fact that the event was reported that gives evidence that those whom the reporting was about are likely notable (combined, in this case, with the other widespread visual coverage in reliable sources like the Hollywood Reporter). Thoughts? KDS4444 (talk) 16:46, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Banana pasta

Hello! Your submission of Banana pasta at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Yoninah (talk) 22:27, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Why do I feel like you always try to twist my arm whenever I raise an objection to one of your nominations? I feel the article does not meet WP:DYKSG#D7. I suggest you add a new section, one sentence at most, to describe some of the uses for banana pasta. You tell me the nomination is approved and to just get on with it. Yoninah (talk) 16:56, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
Hi @Yoninah:. You stated at the DYK nom page, "Would you be able to add something about Uses (bread, pizza dough, pasta)?" However, this is a pasta, not a flour. (Are you misreading this to be a flour, rather than a pasta?) Bread and pizza dough is not typically made from pasta. It's unclear how I could add content about pizza dough and bread being made from pasta. North America1000 16:59, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
I added more content stating that it is cooked by boiling, and about it's higher water higher absorption rate compared to standard pasta (diff). Does this work for you? North America1000 17:07, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
Added content about how it can be dried for later use (diff). North America1000 17:10, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
Thank you very much! Yoninah (talk) 17:19, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Mr. Trash Wheel

Sorry, but I don't understand what makes this article Mr. Trash Wheel notable? Am I missing something? It seems like a brand name to me. Why does it have so many external links but no references? Why does it have this in the lead?: "There is a twitter account here." ?? It's just advertising, isn't it? It's been a stub for quite some time. I really don't see its notability? If it's notable why don't the people who created it build it up to something useful? EMsmile (talk) 20:56, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

  • @EMsmile: Update: I moved the Twitter link to the External links section. Please read the articles in the Further reading section; these are news articles that can be used to expand the article. Sure the article is a stub, but I just moved it to main namespace two days ago (diff). Perhaps allow users time to expand the article, which can be easily performed per sources available about the topic. North America1000 21:24, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
  • I'm have expanded the article a bit, and plan on further expanding it. North America1000 21:33, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
Hmm, yes, OK, that's better. Sorry from the history page it seemed to me like the page was created already Aug 2015. I overlooked that it was in draft for 18 months. I just wonder if there is not rather a generic name for this kind of device? Like "manual trash remover"? OK, looking forward to seeing an expanded version. Am happy that the twitter link is no longer in the lead! Thanks for your explanation. EMsmile (talk) 22:46, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

Proposed Deletion

Hi I wanted to tell you about the deletion of Ebrahim Hemmatnia. The person seems to be notable in my point of view, [26], the subject appears in many news articles.

Anca Pop

Hi, I can see that you're an administrator. I created an article today, can you tell me if the article respects the criteria for notability? Because I'm planning to expand it like on the Romanian version. — MUST BE Love on the Brain. 21:43, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

WP:CITEKILL

Once citations are removed, then people may remove content because it's "not verified", vicious circle — You completely missed my point. There is a citation so the information is cited. I'm trimming overkill citations, but I'm not removing information from being verified. Had I removed the citation at the end of the paragraph, then you would actually have a point. I don't think it is necessary to include a citation for each individual consecutive sentence, but you do you. Have a great weekend, ComputerJA () 22:48, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

DYK for Tsukemen

On 9 March 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Tsukemen, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that tsukemen (pictured) became a popular dish at Taishoken restaurant in Tokyo soon after its 1961 invention there, and has since become popular throughout Japan? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Tsukemen. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Tsukemen), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
