Deletion of article List of number-one hits in Norway

Hi, I have tagged List of number-one hits in Norway for deletion as it possibly violates the copyrights of the major Norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang. Ulflarsen (talk) 15:42, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

List of number-one hits in Norway

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article List of number-one hits in Norway, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 16:00, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of List of number-one hits in Norway

An editor has nominated List of number-one hits in Norway, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of number-one hits in Norway and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 15:04, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Slovak expatriate footballers in Costa Rica

Hello. I've noticed that you have added several new "triple intersection" categories such as this one for footballers. While I appreciate your efforts to improve Wikipedia's coverage of football, this appears to be a case of overcategorization (as Category:Expatriate footballers in Costa Rica would suffice). Indeed, there was a CfD on this very topic which resulted in delete all. See: [1]. I am going to begin reverting these triple intersects back to the parent categories and wanted to let you know. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best regards. Jogurney (talk) 22:26, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No content in Category:Estonian expatriate footballers in Bulgaria

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Estonian expatriate footballers in Bulgaria, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Estonian expatriate footballers in Bulgaria has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Estonian expatriate footballers in Bulgaria, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

In favour of the so-called 'triple intersection' category pages

Hi there. Just to let you know that this by no means constitutes a cut and dry case of overcategorisation. They subdivide long lists of expat footballers in a country in a sensible and informative way while reducing category page list clutter at the bottom of footballer bio pages. There is likely to be a discussion on the matter in the coming days at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion. Regards, Mayumashu (talk) 04:00, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sally Beauman Obit -- Link Text Correction

Greetings ....

This is to let you of my edit to your original post of the Sally Beauman obit on the Wikipedia "Deaths" page. Everything you had was OK except for the omission of the text "http://" just before the rest of the link www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-36763473

Always remember that (unless otherwise) Wikipedia requires http;// in order for external links to function correctly.

"Undos"

Per reversion guidelines, that isn't what the Undo button is for. Your edit pretty much overrode my removal, while you added your own changes (not the same thing) while throwing shade my way for improper housekeeping. It's not my "job" to track down a source, when the DI lead clearly says to add one with entries. — Wylie pedia 00:28, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm really sorry I hurt your feelings.Nukualofa (talk) 00:31, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not the fall that kills, but the sudden stop at the end.

Regarding this, I won't revert you, but ask you to consider how long cancer (or many other diseases) takes between starting and finishing. Often years. A fall is external, so different, but directly responsible for death, so the same.

If you appreciate that, revert yourself, but if not, that's cool. InedibleHulk (talk) 21:22, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Woah.

Hi. The editor who just removed the "death announced" tag from Arnold Clark in Deaths in 2017 has obviously, in total "good faith", learnt that the date of death had been established. Unlike yourself, he had only neglected to provided the relevant source, move the subject to the correct date or provide an edit summary. Now, I know that's a lot to be forgetting or neglecting to do, but it doesn't represent removing the tag "for the sake of it". His edit had been 'live' just five minutes! I think a little good grace and no comment is in order some times. Thanks though for getting it right where he had made his "mistakes". Ref ^(chew)(do) 12:31, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, you're right. Sorry about that. It just happens a lot, and I always double check the source if no new source is added, and it gets a little tiresome sometimes.Nukualofa (talk) 12:44, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reply

I was running on the assumption that, with the date being noted on the wiki article, it was sourced and thus I didn't need to track a source. Upon completing that I realized this wasn't the greatest way of verifying. But just in general I search the person/animal to see if any other sources can be found that have more info. In some cases more info doesn't come right away. But in this one there was a source. I'll verify better, but i'd also ask of you to make sure there's no other sources available. Rusted AutoParts 19:50, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

European access blocks

Hi. I realise you may well be in a PART of Europe which has access to certain blocked sites (and especially referring to the Tribune group in the USA), but I can assure you that the UK (and probably other countries in Europe) certainly didn't have access - we were redirected to a dedicated page saying "Sorry, this content is not available in your region.". I have never claimed that the blocks are Europe-wide, and some sites apparently specifically state that "the content is not available in some parts of Europe".

I never put tags of any kind in lightly - I do look for alternatives but, I'm sorry, if the claimed source will not display to the people of my own country, I am going to ask for a better one through a tag. Although Wikipedia guidelines seem to say that paywalled and suchlike content should be believed on trust, I prefer to examine things with my own eyes, and always will.

As it happens, in the recent instance the issue was later resolved by the provision of a world-wide accessible reference (as I knew it eventually would be). However, what I'm asking today is that you let my tagged sources stay in there until such time as the better source comes along. I assure you that I never lie, especially within the Wikipedia world. Thanks. Ref ^(chew)(do) 19:57, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, Ref, I didn't mean to imply that you were lying. I just imagined one of two scenarions. 1, you made a mistake, or 2, the page had magically been made available to Europe. Usually I get the same Europe blocks as everybody else here, but on this occasion it seems we have been voted out of Europe. I'll calm my trigger finger the next time (if ever) the same thing happens. Nukualofa (talk) 22:01, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No probs now, sorry to bite back a bit. I believe you are in Norway? If so, I think you can assume that the access block is actually a European Union one, due to their now-strict rules on dealing with privacy, and which some US websites aren't happy about conforming to (hence the blocks for maybe just EU countries). I would be correct in thinking Norway isn't covered by all EU regulations? Anyway, thanks for seeing my point. Ref ^(chew)(do) 01:31, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Frankie Smith

Hi. I think I've found a valid reference for the death of the above, but I'm getting a lot of resistance as regards adding it in his article, and I suspect the same will eventually be true for Deaths in March 2019 (8th). So please give your opinion on the BlackAmericaWeb.com statement here, and the actual validity of that website. (I may also need editorial support in order that I do not exceed 3RR in the near future.) Thanks. Ref ^(chew)(do) 14:01, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Frankie Smith is a music legend in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Yet if he has truly passed away why is there NOT a single news article from any Philadelphia television news stations or newspapers? It's been almost 3 months since he supposedly died.

No news on any funeral or memorial service?
No news on any public tributes?

The fact that the only websites reporting his death are BLOGS (such as BlackAmericaWeb) makes me suspect Frankie Smith was/is the subject of a death hoax. I cite Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. Specifically, the section on questionable sources.

But whatever consensus is decided upon by other admins, I will abide by. 73.9.202.181 (talk) 14:51, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

BlackAmericaWeb isn't a blog. It's a part of Reach Media, which again is a part of the media conglomerate Urban One. It should be accepted as a valid source, as it is in fact a journalistic news site. However, I'll leave this one open until further to look for a different source. Nukualofa (talk) 00:31, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

i stand corrected about BlackAmericaWeb not being a blog. Still, where's the coverage from local news at the very least?

Nonetheless I am a man of my word. And I don't want to be responsible for overzealous editors like Ref ^(chew)(do) having a nervous breakdown because their edits get reverted. So I will no longer edit the article in question. So long and thank you for being the adult in the room. :-) 73.9.202.181 (talk) 00:44, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Citation bot thing

Hi. I have just asked Maxim Masiutin not to carry out bot work introducing full cite to Deaths in 2024 and explained why. Thanks for the revert, as my edit attempt said there had been too many subsequent edits to revert the whole lot. Ref ^(chew)(do) 08:17, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
