Caterpillar84/Robyn Crawford

Hey there, thanks for weighing in on the Robyn Crawford page. I contest that her best friendship with Houston is extremely well known, not a false claim simply just now coming to light. This dates back many, many years and no one contests that this isn't fact. As for the romance part, I get what you're saying. Of course, independent people verify that they were more than just friends (on film, no less), but since Houston isn't alive to confirm or deny, perhaps we should say "alleged" or "supposed" when it comes to the lover bits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caterpillar84 (talk • contribs) 22:14, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

One other item: The TV appearances are not minor, so it would be great if you restored that section. Crawford was the sole interviewee on NBC News's Dateline, The Wendy Williams Show, TODAY, and other outlets. These were major interviews on major networks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caterpillar84 (talk • contribs) 22:38, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) Hiya @Caterpiller84: I'm Alfie. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Firstly, please read WP:SIGN to learn how to sign your talk page posts. Secondly, I would you encourage you to read the guidelines on self-published sources, WP:SELFPUB and WP:BLPSPS, to learn what is and isn't acceptable when citing somebody's autobiography or memoirs. Finally, I think a re-read of our general guidelines regarding reliable sources would be appropriate. I will leave a "further reading" list of links on your talkpage. Thanks! -- a they/them | argue | contribs 23:16, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Doonga

Hey! I Appreciate you taking the time to fix my errors on Doonga, I misread the notice as an AFD. TheEpTic (talk) 13:50, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

No worries, it probably still should be deleted but unfortunately prods are pretty useless on new articles. Praxidicae (talk) 13:50, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Siti Nurhaliza

Hey Alfie... I undo what you did at Siti Nurhaliza page.. the reason are, the sub topic got problem with the citations, so I remove the sub topic.. and we had plan to rewrite the sub topic with better citations. And about the concert that I was remove from the page.. the concert was not Siti Nurhaliza main concert, she just one of the guests artists in that concert.. all the deleted had been explained well in the history..

Thank you..

1.) My name is not Alfie, as you can see by the giant bolded name at the top of this page. 2.) The template you keep removing has explicit instructions and reasoning for it's placement. Read it. 3.) Stop removing it or you will be blocked. Praxidicae (talk) 20:53, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

1)sorry for your name. 2) The template came because the copyright.. so remove the topic that used the copyright issue.. 3) I remove the concert from the list because there are not her concert, she just guest, why must put at her page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:E68:40B7:ED25:BC49:FE26:17FE:2700 (talk) 21:01, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Pharmanutra

Hello, why do you think Pharmanutra is an promotional article? In my opinion it is neutral article and the company is big and listed in stock exchange and has a lot of articles in newspaper talk about that, see here.--Kaspo (talk) 22:15, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

@Kaspo: see WP:CORP - being listed on a stock exchange does not mean a company is inherently notable -- a they/them | argue | contribs 23:32, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
ok, being listed is not automatic notability but I read in that page Examples of such sources include independent press coverage and analyst reports. Accordingly, article authors should make sure to seek out such coverage and add references to such articles to properly establish notability.. I included also indipendent articles and analyst reports. I added references by Reuters too.--Kaspo (talk) 08:54, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
I believed it was leader just in Italy but I just found an article by Il Sole 24 Ore (the most important italian financial newspaper) PharmaNutra is the leader in its market niche in Europe and absolute number one for market share in Spain, Arab Emirates, Iran, Romania and Austria. [1]. Please think about your decision.--Kaspo (talk) 18:19, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
It was heavily promotional and basically a press release. I'd also suggest you read the reasons it was deleted on itwiki as appears to have been the same problem. Praxidicae (talk) 18:20, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
On itwiki was deleted years ago but the article was completely different and written by another user. That was an advertising, it's true, you can find it the sandbox here. There are a lot of articles in main italian newspapers that inclued the company in the titles and these are not press release. Please read my last url with automatic translator. Do you really think that is a press release?--Kaspo (talk) 18:42, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
It might not be a press release but it appears to me to be basic funding material, which is not substantial coverage for establishing notability. Of course, I don't speak Italian and I'm relying on a translator for that assessment. Praxidicae (talk) 18:50, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

AFD

Hello! I removed the unreliable sources banner because I just added a ton of highly reliable citations. Rather than call the removal "disruptive," it would be great if you researched why I removed the banner, which is actually quite the opposite of disruption. The article is in fact much improved, and there's nothing to dispute there. Thanks so much, --Caterpillar84 (talk) 19:28, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

No, you removing the AFD notice is disruptive and is not allowed. The sources you've added are also unreliable or otherwise not helpful. We don't need a dozen links to where her books are published. You need to provide coverage. Praxidicae (talk) 19:29, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

I dispute that this removal is "not allowed." The guide for removal states: "Maintenance templates are not meant to be in articles permanently. Any user without a conflict of interest may remove a maintenance template in any of the following circumstances: 1) When the issue has been adequately addressed."

I adequately addressed the issue; the "we don't need a dozen links to where her books are published" is kind of missing the point; I placed them there as proof of her work for major publishing houses and companies such as Simon & Schuster, Disney, Penguin Random House, and more. This is a form of proof of her notability, is it not? I've previously contributed to or created articles about illustrators, and no one there disputed/had any issue with such links. They're solely intended to prove that the claims she has worked for these publishers and companies is true.

Can I also gently point out that your tone comes across as very angry and aggressive? I hope you can see that I'm doing my best to meet Wikipedia standards and I have the best intentions at heart in making positive contributions. I have created or contributed to dozens of pages without any issue from other editors. Everyone has their shortcomings, but there's no need to come at me in a threatening way. I sincerely hope that you can respect the work I'm doing and not take my actions as disruptive. I also hope we can come to an understanding re: the Syed page. Invite: Would you help hunt down more citations to strengthen the article? It would be much more appreciated than pure threatening criticism without helping. --Caterpillar84 (talk) 19:39, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

@Caterpillar84: The AfD template is not a maintenance template; it is a template that advises other editors that discussion is under way about deletion of the article. Removing the template does not stop the discussion. That's why the template must remain at the top of the article until the discussion is resolved. —C.Fred (talk) 19:40, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
Tone is not possible to interpret over the internet. I am being direct, nothing more. And I'm not threatening you - it is very clear that you are not permitted to remove AFD notices on active discussions per the template: Feel free to improve the article, but the article must not be blanked, and this notice must not be removed, until the discussion is closed.. As far as sourcing goes, no I cannot help as I agree with the nomination and I would strongly suggest you start going through WP:AFC as several of your recent BLP creations have been highly problematic from a sourcing and copyright standpoint. Praxidicae (talk) 19:41, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
”Tone is not possible to interpret over the internet”. Wow - that sure explains a lot. KJP1 (talk) 21:50, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
Very helpful, KJP1. Perhaps you can elaborate on your purpose of that statement. I’m very interested in hearing your thoughts. Praxidicae (talk) 23:13, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

BioNTech

Hi, I have tried to fulfill all the WIkipedia criteria in the revision of the article and honestly do not understand this reaction. This page should not be speedily deleted because BioNTech is a reputable biotechnology company that explores new approaches to cancer therapy and has generated really important medical science insights. The company should therefore be included in the Wikipedia encyclopaedia. The earlier, deleted article has been extensively (!) revised. The current article is neutral, contains no obvious advertising and does not violate any copyright rights (the Sec report is publicly available, it has been referenced but not cited). I think a speedy deletion is inappropriate and urge you to reconsider this decision (a lot of meticulous research and time has gone into creating the article). Before a deletion, therefore, the responsible persons should intensively deal with the contents of the article and the background of the company. In my view, it should be about the encyclopaedic recording of important advances in medicine (and also companies that generate these advances). The intention to delete the entry is incomprehensible to me - can you help me understand?. Thank you and have a nice evening Bodysana (talk) 16:38, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

BON Awards Show

You reinserted the notability tag on the Moyo Lawal Page & As per WP:NACTOR An actor is generally notable if they have won an award of which subject of the article has done, played roles in multiple movies, which subject has done, has a large following, which the subject evidently does have. Your reason as per re-inserting the aforementioned tag was the Best of Nollywood Awards awards wasn’t notable but Here HereHere & Here Portray the inverse of your claim. The BON awards clearly has proven to be notable & you would have seen this also if you had taken your time to investigate. I am trying as much as can be to assume good faith here but your response and actions often portray an aggressive undertone. In this diff an editor observed familiar behavior. Celestina007 (talk) 13:54, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

I have been very patient and quite nice to you - so my tone is not the issue here, your inability to edit a BLP however, is. Yes, my mistake for assuming it wasn't notable since it wasn't properly linked but there are still a slew of issues that I've been attempting to help you wish, so please lay off the attacks and focus on what you need to do on the several BLP violations in your articles. Praxidicae (talk) 14:07, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
You say I unable to edit biographies properly because of my inclusion of controversial materials to them. I have accepted my error and learnt Hence the request for deletion of Draft:Mofe Duncan You however, as a more experienced editor should have known better than to remove salient substantiated details from a biography without investigating them. You singlehandedly removed an imperative detail from an article that substantiates her notability. Learn to be WP:CIVIL someday you may request to be an administrator. Is this how you intend to act if you are granted your request Furthermore I have observed stalking in your edit patterns.Celestina007 (talk) 15:2926 November 2019 (UTC)
Please indicate what part of any of my statements are uncivil. Please also provide "diffs" of this supposed stalking.

Revisions

Praxidiae- Please explain your rationale for removing these particular software titles. There is no justification for including the current software pieces without others. If you keep removing them, I will seek third-party arbitration.

I did in fact tell you, several times, including on your talk page, which you've not read. I suggest you revert yourself. Praxidicae (talk) 18:59, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Seeking third-party arbitration.

Please by all means, Rachelsingsopera seek third party arbitration - I left you 2 talk page messages and explained in detail in my edit summary why I removed your linkfarm, while you got combative, threatened me with arbitration and continued to revert. Praxidicae (talk) 19:02, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
And please see this discussion that is on the talk page, specifically: . The standard for inclusion in lists like this is for each piece of software that's included to have its own Wikipedia article. In some cases, local consensus can determine that items can be added if supported by sufficient reliable secondary sources such that they could have their own article per WP:GNG. Also, there should be no external links in the body of the article -- only in the references and/or external links (and all need to conform to WP:EL). Praxidicae (talk) 19:07, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Why do you keep flagging things that are valid?

Redirect of rape case article

Hi, I think you missed my CSD comment on the Talk page: "Note to reviewer: consensus on the other article is not to name the victim, per WP:BLP privacy, see Talk:2019_Hyderabad_gang_rape#Real_Name_of_victim, so a redirect from here to there would not be appropriate."

Hello

Thank you for the feedback on my article I submitted. I thought I did in fact read the guidelines pretty thoroughly for a new article and include references for the article I wrote. Is it possible to get more specific feedback on what material did not meet the guidelines so I can make a correction?

You need to rewrite the content based on what independent reliable sources say and provide sources which feature in-depth coverage of this person. These sources should not be from anything they are affiliated with. Praxidicae (talk) 18:36, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Burton Clarke Draftspace

Hi there! I will say I'm new to Wikipedia, but I recently created a page for the cartoonist Burton Clarke and you pulled it into draftspace for insufficient sources (I did also note that one of the sources I cited was properly removed as it is unreliable, so thank you for that). I've seen Wikipedia pages with less content than mine which have remained up, and the sourcing guidelines as far as quantity go seem to be somewhat arbitrary, based on whatever the intervening user believes constitutes "too little". I'd love some clarification as to what you'd consider sufficient in order for this article to have a place on Wikipedia. Thank you so much FeeSand (talk) 20:03, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

It's not arbitrary. Wikipedia is a volunteer project with fewer volunteers than articles (a few hundred active editors vs. several million articles.) When problems are identified, they are fixed. In this case, please see WP:OTHERSTUFF. Praxidicae (talk) 20:05, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

NSAC

Dear Praxidicae, I am currently editing Naval Support Activity Crane's page. You inadvertently reverted it back to a redirect. It warrants an entire page. Please see Naval Support Activity Mechanicsburg or any other Naval Support Activity page to see what we are trying to accomplish. If you have an issue with this, please let me know. Otherwise, please wait for the final product.Jmnagan (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:11, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

It was not inadvertent, Jmnagan. It was intentional, per my edit summary. You should refrain from editing any articles for which you have a conflict of interest and instead request changes on the talk page. Additionally, your removal of a redirect was inappropriate as the content is entirely unsourced and it is not independently notable. Lastly, please remember to sign your edits to talk pages with 4 tildes: ~~~~ Praxidicae (talk) 15:13, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Dear Praxidicae, to that point, there is no conflict of interest. Although I am the public affairs officer for the installation, this, by the nature of my job, makes me responsible for educating and informing the public on the installation. I am a subject matter expert. To that point, I have made every effort to provide historical, non-editorialized materials to support these edits. Citations would be forthcoming if allowed to continue. If someone else would like to make the changes, I welcome them the opportunity, but knowing how elusive military topics can be, this is why this page has remained a gross misplaced redirect, since its inception, akin to allowing a business to be called the city in which it resides. Please reconsider. Jmnagan (talk) 15:21, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Jmnagan Wikipedia is an encyclopedia - not an extension of any of the subjects that have articles. You have a direct conflict of interest per Wikimedia's policy. If you wish to make changes, you need to request them on the talk page and provide a reliable (and preferably independent) source for each statement. Additionally, as part of your job is "getting the word out", I should inform you that Wikipedia is not a soapbox. Praxidicae (talk) 15:22, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

I get your point, but education, to include history, is not a soapbox. Nothing that was on the page could be contested as anything other than historical fact. Did you actually read anything that was on the page? Sure, I hadn't added citations yet, but history is fairly easy to cite. The installation exists; there is no denying that. Rather than deleting several hours worth of work, it would have been vastly more productive to read and review the content. So, I ask that you give the content a chance, and then the community can peer-review rather than doing nothing as has been done thus far. I am willing to do that, but it looks like you are not. Jmnagan (talk) 15:30, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Jmnagan Please read the COI guidelines and follow the instructions. Arguing here on my talk page isn't doing either of us any favors. Praxidicae (talk) 15:31, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Furthermore, although the Navy may sign may pay stub, I work for the American taxpayer. My obligation by regulation is to them. Jmnagan (talk) 15:33, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Jmnagan Well I guess it's a good thing Wikipedia is a global encyclopedia then. Praxidicae (talk) 15:34, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

So, Praxidicae, being new to this, and wanting to get this content corrected, how do I get the word out to solicit editors to get this page stood up? If I can't be of help, maybe you can. Jmnagan (talk) 15:36, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Jmnagan As previously stated, request the changes on the talk page of the article(s) in question and provide an independent source for each statement. Praxidicae (talk) 15:38, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Although this discussion did not go as I wanted to, I appreciate your candor and education. Jmnagan (talk) 15:48, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

I took the picture from the regular Google search. Sorry I guess am a newbie and this is the first article that I am trying to write, but I am getting better thanks to the community teaching! I been trying to check all the references to see if they were direct and from a broad spectrum of sources. Could you give me some feedback in this regard? Thank you very much!!--Mdsjm (talk) 05:23, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

As a courtesy, this is to notify you that an article you supported for deletion in a recent deletion review, Kartikeya Sharma, has been restored to mainspace with new information and sources. You may wish to examine the new version to see if you have any remaining concerns regarding notability. SilkTork (talk) 11:04, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for deleting the article tulasi pujan diwas, the reason i moved it was because the article, had false information insulting my religion, and the fact that "Amicable" Always was glorifying a convicted pedophile, so thanks for your help!Gumshoe97 (talk) 16:50, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

Just wanted to double-check that I got the entire copyvio. I went back to the revision that was tagged, but I saw there were quite a few earlier edits from the student, and I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:39, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi

I re opened up the case because MyOptimism was listed as inconclusive, and his editing pattern was very suspicious, so I wanted to confirm if he was a sock or not. Gumshoe97 (talk) 13:57, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

It was closed with no action in the correct case with no action. I'm not a CU or SPI clerk but I'd recommend requesting deletion of that since no one felt the need to take any actual action, it's under the wrong case and they've had no edits since the case was closed. Praxidicae (talk) 13:59, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

I think it is appropriate to do this, because i'm worried if that user is a sock he might open up the same dispute I had with Amicable, thanks for understanding! Gumshoe97 (talk) 14:02, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

And I'm telling you that you're only going to irritate the people at SPI since you've not only reopened a closed case where there have been exactly 0 edits but you've filed incorrectly, but you do you, I guess. Any further discussion about this should take place on the SPI. Praxidicae (talk) 14:03, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

RE: Justice Anin-Yeboah's Page for Deletion

Hi Praxidicae , 

I noticed you put a tag on a article i posted on a Supreme Court Judge  of Ghana. I did not write the article to promote him whatsoever. The Man has work diligently throughout the years and creating Wikipedia page for him should not be seen as promotion . You can read more about him as he has also been nominated to be the new Chief Justice of Ghana .. Hope this finds you well  . Thank you  .  --Randybaah (talk) 16:58, 12 December 2019 (UTC)-
Hello Randybaah! Thank you for adding that information. I think Justice Anin-Yeboah is notable according to Wikipedia's guidelines, we just need to be careful of a few things. One of the reasons why Praxidicae marked the article for speedy deletion is that large portions of the text were copied from copyrighted newspaper articles, something that Wikipedia doesn't do. I think those are good sources, we just need to put them in our own words and then reference them (just like the references you used in your article). I agree that the article as it's currently written doesn't seem to be promotional, but we could definitely do some work on it. Let's go back to your Sandbox and I can get started on helping you with a re-write, and then hopefully we can get the article accepted! :) Bkissin (talk) 17:21, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

Conversight.ai

Just a courtesy note to let you know I've declined your speedy tag at Conversight.ai. The article was borderline, and I can see why you tagged it as G11, but I don't think the level of promotion quite rises to the level of unambiguous advertising, and there are some good sources there so I think it may be salvageable.

Damon Runyon's short story "Dancing Dan's Christmas" is a fun read if you have the time. Right from the start it extols the virtues of the hot Tom and Jerry

This hot Tom and Jerry is an old-time drink that is once used by one and all in this country to celebrate Christmas with, and in fact it is once so popular that many people think Christmas is invented only to furnish an excuse for hot Tom and Jerry, although of course this is by no means true.

Revert back to previous edit on Claude Vonstroke

hello, you've hit undo to all of the changes that I made to Claude Vonstroke's page and I wanted to know if this is because you think there is a conflict of interest? I stated on the talk page that I was hired to update his page and on my account profile, it states that I am paid by all of the pages I contribute to. Please let me know what other issues there are so that we can reinstate the edition that was approved by mgmt Runawaytonight (talk) 20:34, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

You must disclose properly but you need to request changes and refrain from making them directly. Praxidicae (talk) 20:35, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

what is disclosing properly? I posted that i was hired in the talk page before I started making changes. Can you reinstate my revision while this is sorted? Thank you Runawaytonight (talk) 20:55, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Per our COI policies and guidelines you need to be requesting changes via the talk page. Not making them yourself. Praxidicae (talk) 20:55, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

okay, but what haven't I disclosed? Runawaytonight (talk) 20:58, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

@Runawaytonight: Praxidicae was merely stating that it is proper to disclose, as you have. The more important part of what they said is that you absolutely cannot be making direct edits to the articles you are associated with. Adding a disclaimer to your userpage does not give you permission to edit such articles, the disclosure is merely required for you to be allowed to even discuss these articles and to edit any other part of our site (not including the article's you are associated with, as we just said that is not allowed ever). — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 21:06, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Jason Criddle

Hi Praxidicae, I saw your message and that's why I decided to contact you. First and foremost, I'm new here and I'm even only trying my best to navigate the pages well. I have no relationship with this man in question and I don't know why all of you are insinuating all this. I just want to contribute to the community - that's all. I think the reason why all of you are saying that is because of the edits I made. In the message I received earlier, I was redirected to "creating my first page" and after reading through I got to understand that I have to keep the tone neutral to make it encyclopaedic which I'm completely oblivion of. I read about this man on the internet and I decided to contribute to Wikipedia by writing about him.

Again, as regards the edits, I have no idea its wrong to edit a page that has been tagged for speedy deletion. I thought by rewriting it, I will be able to make the necessary amendments and resolve the issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blessing Adewale (talk • contribs) 15:33, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you tagged this under two separate criteria, those being WP:G4 and WP:G5. G5 is for creations by blocked or banned people in violation of their block or ban, by which I assume you think Dev4052 is someone's sock puppet. However, they aren't blocked, there is no warning on their talk page, and I don't see any SPI investigations naming them as a potential sockpuppet. Can you clarify why you think G5 is appropriate? Thanks. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 20:14, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) @James the Bond 007: It's not "your" business, it's "our" business, because Wikipedia is a collaborative encyclopaedia. If you wish to make test edits, the sandbox is thataway. Nominating multiple articles (Including a featured article) for deletion cannot really be described as anything other than significantly disruptive behaviour.
Looking through your edit history, and your frankly bizzare behaviour towards Praxidicae, I think you need a serious attitude adjustment if you're planning to stick around here: Stay off people's talk pages and put some time and energy into contributing to the encyclopaedia. -- a they/them | argue | contribs 14:19, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

P45 Day???

Why have you replaced my new page "P45 day" with a redirect to the "P45" disambiguation age?

In doing so, I think you've missed the point of the new page. "P45 day" is not meant to discuss the "P45" leaving work form, but a nickname given to a day said to see more people face disciplinary action at work due to trouble they get themselves into on "BLack Eye Friday", when people traditionally go drinking (too much) on the last Friday at work before Christmas in the UK.

My new page had already been reviewed by "Krakkos". I'll revert the edit to the page I'd created for the reasons given above.

You included absolutely no independent sources discussing "945 day", just P45. Praxidicae (talk) 15:35, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

P45 Day

It's not "945 day", it's "P45 Day", a United Kingdom euphenism. As regards evidence, give me a chance!!!

I meant p45 day. You provided 0 sources and I can find none that are reliable. Wikipedia isn't urban dictionary. Praxidicae (talk) 15:40, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Hello!

Hi Praxidicae. I kindly ask you to check the article on the Italian painter Pino Concialdi. I personally think that the encyclopedic relevance is missing.

New Page Review newsletter December 2019

Reviewer of the Year

This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.

Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.

Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.

Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

Redirect autopatrol

A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.

Source Guide Discussion

Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.

This month's refresher course

While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

Hello, I am new at Wikipedia so please bear with me. I got 2 notes from you. One about the entry I wrote Friends of the Chicago River and the other about disclosure. I thought being "paid" meant I was a for-hire company/contractor writing the entry for someone else. I am the communications director of the Friends of the Chicago River, a non-profit environmental group for which I am, indeed paid. I added the disclosure part to my bio. I understand that I can request someone else to write the entry but I am not clear on the absolute-ness of someone with an interest in a topic writing about it. Am I prohibited? If not, now that I have added the disclosure, I can try to better source the entry and resubmit? IllinoisWaterway (talk) 19:53, 3 January 2020 (UTC) IllinoisWaterway (talk) 19:53, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

You're not prohibited but you are required to disclose this as per WP:PAID and you need to go through the drafting process and refrain from publishing it yourself. Praxidicae (talk) 19:54, 3 January 2020 (UTC)\

Tagging of Cognizance IIT Roorkee

I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Cognizance IIT Roorkee. I do not think that Cognizance IIT Roorkee fits any of the speedy deletion criteria  because Not remotely similar to previously deleted version. Previous version cited 7 refs. This cites 74, and quite a few look to be reliable sources with significant coverage. There is some promotional language, but not nearly at the G11 level. Editing is needed, but not deletion. I request that you consider not re-tagging Cognizance IIT Roorkee for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page.

I want to register strong exception to the large flashing STOP sign in your edit notice. Had my wife been looking over my shoulder as I was editing this, or has she bene the one to edit, I can tell you from very personal experience that a seizure would quite likely have resulted. If you have not bene present in such cases, you may not be aware of the serious harm that can be done by such images. It is, in fact, possible for death to result. Please change this to a non-blinking image. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 00:41, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

speedy deletion of Terran Systems

Request on 23:42:03, 5 January 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Electra Roberts


Hello and Happy New Year, I'm trying to create a page for this guitar player (Yiannis Papadopoulos). I read your comments about the page and why you declined the submission, I tried to add more reliable sources, but it seems that I'm missing sth. I've been checking wiki pages from similar artists and they have less coverage and use less sources, and the sources they have are like the ones I use. I thought that since I'm following a similar structure with the  articles below and since the sources are similar my article would be accepted. Can you please help? Thank you for your time and your help.

For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Johnston_(guitarist) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Richardson_(musician) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco_SfogliElectra Roberts (talk) 23:42, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

In reference to an article marked as AfC

Hi Praxidicae This is in reference to John Abraham (film editor). Thanks for the review comments, it is currently marked as AfC. If I could mark the article as a stub and continue adding more references as available, would that be advisable here? The references currently added are verifiable sources and have been reference sources for many articles.

EnsureInfo (talk) 17:15, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

No, being a stub doesn't mean that it can be poorly or unsourced. Being a stub just means a small article. It has no bearing on notability or sourcing. Praxidicae (talk) 17:16, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
With respect to sources, we have it covered from reliable national daily like The Times of India and several notable online journals like The News Minute and Indiaglitz, which have been used as verifiable sources in several articles of these categories. We shall continue adding more as we build the stub to a start. EnsureInfo (talk) 05:35, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

New page for the BCI Society, written by Dr. Brendan Allison, BCI Society Communications Committee.

Hello, I am writing in regard to your speedy deletion of the page that I created about the BCI Society.

I apologize if the page was not appropriate. I would be grateful for any suggestions to improve the page so that it can be posted. As per previous administrators' requests, I did include links to Wikipedia and external sites, along with peer-reviewed journal publications.

I do not have any conflict of interest. I am not paid by the BCI Society, and I was not paid to develop that page. I never expect to earn money from the BCI Society nor from this Wikipedia activity. I developed the page, and do other volunteer activities for the BCI Society, to foster a technology that has helped many patients. Thank you for your help.

speedy deletion of Ocean Medical Center

I do not understand what is promotional about the language used. It is not an advertisement of the hospital, I stated facts. In the accolades section I cited directly from US News and World Report. I have no emotional attachment to the hospital and do not understand why you think the article has promotional language. Andrew nyr (talk) 20:12, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

A speedy deletion within 2 minutes of a article's creation is a little too speedy and not at all in good faith Djflem (talk) 21:44, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

copyvios are a policy issue and not subject to time limits. If you want to change that start an RFC. Thanks. Praxidicae (talk) 21:54, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
Djflem Asides what Praxidicae said. Even if it wasn’t a copy-vio related issue your statements imply that the article was too young for a speedy delete tag to be placed on it. I don’t seem to comprehend are you part of the editors that encourage new users/other editors to move half baked articles to mainspace? There’s a sandbox & draftspace for all your work to be done before submitting it via an AFC or moving it to mainspace. If it was me, I’d request a speedy delete for an article on Mainspace deserving of it in 0.5 seconds if that was doable/possible. Celestina007 (talk) 13:37, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
Clearly the creator was developing the article when s/he was rudely interrupted from doing so and then distracted from the work by others who jumped on the deletion bandwagon. Discourages contribution.Djflem (talk) 21:25, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
That's what the sandbox and draftspace are for. Copyright violations aren't a matter of IAR and aren't subject to any sort of time restriction. Praxidicae (talk) 21:26, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Newbie here

I'm new on Wikipedia, I'm not sure if it's the right place to ask but can I copy your userpage theme? by the way please notify me if I have broken any Wikipedia rule. Thank you so much

(talk page watcher) @4444dot: I'm not Praxidicae, but I would suggest that you not focus on your Userpage too much and instead focus on learning to edit Wikipedia well if you plan to stick around. I'd suggest taking a look at The Wikipedia Adventure, which is an interactive guided tour of Wikipedia. Good luck! -- a they/them | argue | contribs 14:56, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

Appreciative Feedback

Hi Praxidicae, Thank you for your feedback on the page I am trying to create (King's Seafood Company). Wikipedia can be a little tricky sometimes and I didn't know how to exactly state that I am employed by King's Seafood, so I appreciate you pointing that out and making that easy. I don't want to advertise nor promote our company but I do believe it is notable and worthy of having a Wikipedia page built for it.

I will work on changing the tone of the wording to reflect a completely neutral, non-biased, tone but to my understanding I had a good amount of notable sources and articles. Is there any way you could help me understand why my references and sources are falling short?

Thank you so much for all of your help and feedback, I greatly appreciate it! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thorn118 (talk • contribs) 20:52, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello

Dear Sir, Thank you for your message. I did make a change to my own wiki page, but not to promote myself or anything of this sort. I made a simple editorial change related to a heading. I also deleted a number of books that look like a bibliography and summarized their content in two sentences. Would you please let this change pass? best wishes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Borfali (talk • contribs) 21:48, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

no, it is not your page. It’s an article and you need to request changes on the talk page. Praxidicae (talk) 21:50, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi,

I'd like to know how to improve article Milan Friedrich that has been deleted, so it is actualy publishable. Also, would it be possible to get copy of the deleted material? I cannot find it anywhere and it took me enormous amount of time to get all the information and refernes together. It would save me a lot of time.

Thank you and I am looking forward to your comments. — Preceding unsigned comment added by True hero 14 (talk • contribs) 03:09, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Correct Ressources

Hi, Thank you for your review and comments on my article. I do understand that there are things missing and reliable sources to be added but I also wanted to ask you on how to continue editing my article now that it has been declined ? Can I find it somewhere (as was mentioned I have to resubmit it within 6 months or it gets deleted) or do I have to start from scratch ? Please let me know.

Thank you --Dr. Julius Menden (talk) 15:17, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Heider Al Abaidi

Hi Praxidicae, I'm acting as a mentor for the newbie User:Dr. Julius Menden in the German Wikipedia. His intention is to write articles about the football player Heider Al Abaidi. Obviously, it was a misunderstanding to name the article Draft:... here, since it was intended to establish a draft version in his user namespace (where he can try to prepare a more elaborate version of the article). So, would it be ok, just to move the article to s.th. like User:Dr._Julius_Menden/Heider Al Abaidi ? Or would this be another violation of a rule since he started s.th. like an official review process, as I understood. Please give us a hint. Thanx in advance, --Rolf acker (talk) 19:44, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Rolf acker thanks for taking on newbies however this piece is completely inappropriate for enwiki in any space as it is factually well, false. Not a single claim can be verified and I question the intent of a user who would consider writing such things. Praxidicae (talk) 19:46, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
Thanx for your immediate feedback, Praxidicae. Taking everything into account I'll also recommend him to start from scratch ;-) So, it seems to be a good idea to write the german article first, including reliable sources. Based on that it's more likely to publish an english version, isn't it? --Rolf acker (talk) 19:58, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
@Rolf acker: Also in the interest of saving your time since I wasted so much of mine today researching this person, I searched in arabic, german and English language projects and sources - even unreliable ones and with spelling variants and I came back with exactly 0 sources to verify a single claim other than this guy apparently likes soccer and took a photo that appeared in a paper. I checked every single clubs website and squad rosters that were available and still, nothing. I don't know what Menden's goal is here but I would strongly caution any mentor to take a look at the research I did before encouraging them to edit further about this person. It appears to be nothing more than heavily fabricated vanity spam. Praxidicae (talk) 20:01, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
Many thanks! Up to now, it's completely unclear whether this player is able to pass s.th. we call a "check on relevance" in the German wikipedia. Without that all proceeding work would be useless anyway... --Rolf acker (talk) 20:11, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Edits to bio page

Hi Praxidicae,

I have made edits that reflected the criticisms/standards described.

Any additional guidance you can provide in order to help it get approved would be appreciated.

United States government publications

Hi, Praxidicae. I hope I'm not being a cotton-headed ninny muggins, but I have reverted this edit, in which you removed content with the edit summary "copyvio https://www.nlm.nih.gov/hmd/digicolls/cummings/biography.html". Text published by the United States government is not subject to copyright, and indeed there is a page on the web site www.nlm.nih.gov which explicitly says that content may be freely reused. The web site requests (but does not require) acknowledgement of the source, which is why I made an edit providing acknowledgement in an edit summary. JBW (talk) Formerly JamesBWatson 16:38, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

JBW, just remember to include Template:Include-NIH in the document. Plus, content shouldn't be wholesale copy-pasted from Gov't sources most of the time. (and that sandbox needs references. But it's not your sandbox, so a lot of that is not your problem. Bkissin (talk) 17:35, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
Bkissin: Thanks for pointing that out. As far as I recall I had never come across Template:Include-NIH before. I have in the past been aware of other, similar, templates, so if I had remembered them I might have looked for that one, but I didn't remember them. As for not copying content wholesale, I totally agree. In fact, content from almost all sources, government or otherwise, should not be copied wholesale, for many reasons, one of which I mentioned on the talk page of the author of the draft. However, as you say, it's not my sandbox, and I don't intend to attempt to deal with all the issues that I have noticed. I will, though, mention Template:Include-NIH to the author. JBW (talk) Formerly JamesBWatson 20:03, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Renaming

Due to some typos that were made I eventually decided upon Cucibdua as the username i'll like to be renamed as at my change request entry. That's the only reason I've unfortunately got three separate rename requests at the moment. Additionally I replied at every rename request with the message "Cucibdua is the username i'll like to be renamed to at my change request entry". Can you thus go on to acknowledge my rationale for such and eventually go on to fully approve the renaming of my username to Cucibdua? Silverfish4 (talk) 19:26, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

I'm not a renamer. But before you make requests you should generally be sure and more importantly, just respond at your original request. Seems like common sense. Praxidicae (talk) 20:25, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
