[edit]Thanks for creating Jennifer Gunter, Robincantin!
Wikipedia editor Nick Moyes just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:
I've tagged the Talk page for WP:BLP, and a check of references currently suggests this article conforms very well to Wikipedia requirements for living people. You could do with adding more categories linking to women's health issues - perhaps one of the sub-cats under Category:Reproductive rights, or equivalent, might help. You could also consider looking under Category:Alternative medicine, though I couldn't find one best suited to debunkers of alternative medicine. (not my field of knowledge, I'm afraid)

- You're welcome- keep up the good work! Nick Moyes (talk) 21:31, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
- I removed some of the advocacy, both here and in the article on Timothy Caulfield. WP articles provides accurate information on health issues, emphasising the scientific perspective, but they do not advocate for them. A plain factual presentation without highlighted quotes or repetition best gives the readers the information. DGG ( talk ) 10:14, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you DGG, I think those are helpful changes. These were pretty much the first pages I wrote, the style was a little off. Are you comfortable removing the "news release" tag from the Caulfield article at this point? Robincantin (talk) 15:51, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
- There is still a lot of promotionalism there. One of the ways I define promotionalism is that promotional writing is what the subject would like readers to know about himself, in contrast to encyclopedic writing, which is what a general reader might want to know. A key example in the current text is anecdotes. They're good anecdotes, and express views that we both probably wholeheartedly agree with. You're obviously a trained writer, and use them effectively, better than I could, and the entire article with them included would be perfect--for some other place.
- I find it harder to write objectively about things I like, than those I do not; I therefore prefer to deal with things of importance, in fields where I know something but which I do not greatly care about specifically, or to make the sort of copyedits that would improve any article. DGG ( talk ) 22:57, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
Description of the Correactology correction
[edit]You say snapping of the fingers??? This is very inaccurate. The practitioner places his hand on a specific area of the body and proceeds to apply a corrective momentum as to stimulate the receptors of the skin. This in return causes a cascade of events which ultimately changes the behaviour of the body’s proteins. This mechanisms viability is often proven during Bruce Lipton’s lectures eg. Biology of belief. Nowhere on the informational website does it mention snapping of the fingers. I am a patient and I thought that this needed to be addressed. Otherwise, good work. Thank you. Factualistmaxim (talk) 13:17, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
- Hello, Factualistmaxim! Thanks for the message. I was surprised by the finger-snapping, but it does come up in the conversation between the CBC reporter and the show host in the audio news report I used as one of the sources. Perhaps different practitioners use different techniques. I can only go with what reliable secondary sources (i.e. not the commercial website of the founders) tell us. I hope it will be possible to refine the article as more sources become available. Robincantin (talk) 22:46, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

You shouldn't include any topic in 'see also' if you've already linked to it in the article - it's really only for closely related but non-mentioned topics. Your definition of vaccine hesitancy also appears to be a copy-paste from an external page. Please check if you've accidentally breached our copyvio rules, or if the text is licenced. I don't mean this to come across as terse as it reads - sorry.

- @Nick Moyes:, thank you for the revision comments. Right on both counts. I removed one of the See also link and reworked the beginning of that paragraph. I took the bit of text from the Vaccine Hesitancy wikipedia page, not realizing that page reproduced part of the text on a WHO webpage. I should take a look at that article next.

Carrie Able article
[edit]HI Robincantin, I am new to wikipedia and still learning, I have tried adding some additional sources to the article for artist Carrie Able that see that it is flagged for possible deletion after I did so, I was wondering if you have any suggestions for me or are able to help as I see that you previously edited this article — Preceding unsigned comment added by SarahW2019 (talk • contribs) 13:37, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
- @SarahW2019: Hello SarahW2019! As Shalor explained on your Talk page, the article may not clearly establish the notability of this artist (why there should be a wikipedia article about her). Many articles considered for deletion can be saved (I've done it a few times). I think you know what to do: find more mentions of her work in credible sources and add those to the article. A solid profile in a well-known art publication would really help, if it exists. I'll have a look today or tomorrow. Finally, if you know this person, you should probably walk away from the article and let disinterested editors handle it. Robincantin (talk) 13:59, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for the feedback, i don't know personally but am a fan, particularly of her poetry. I did find a feature interview in Widewalls Art Magazine https://www.widewalls.ch/carrie-able-interview which is one of my favorites, and also link to her as speaker for the games for chance festival https://g4c19.sched.com/speaker/carrie_able.1znmctvp — Preceding unsigned comment added by SarahW2019 (talk • contribs) 14:27, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

"Attempted" de-orphan
[edit]Hi! I've noticed you've been doing a lot of work in the orphan categories recently, which is great. Can I make a suggestion with regards to de-orphaning of Indian and Pakistani villages? There are quite a lot of them, and they're actually tremendously easy to de-orphan in groups if you're willing to do a bit of scut-work. It's a lot more productive than tagging them as "attempted" and walking away. The trick is creating a simple navbox for the district (like {{Sonbhadra district}}), filling it out from the appropriate "villages in X district" and "cities and towns in X district" categories, and slapping it on every village and town article in the district. With some you can get 10-15 de-orphaned at once, depending on how many villages are in the district. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 10:49, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hello ♠PMC♠ (talk)! That's a good idea, I might do that, it would be more satisfying than just tagging them as attempted. This being said, those are stubs with no notability. I do wonder if they belong on wikipedia at all. Do you know if there was a discussion at some point that determined those were useful? Robincantin (talk) 11:08, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- Yep, per the five pillars we're a gazetteer, among other things, so the notability guideline for geography says "populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, even if their population is very low". Conceivably you could try to merge them all into the relevant district article, but my guess is it'd be a lot of pointless work and you'd get a hell of a lot of pushback eventually. And of course, what happens if they get redistricted, which happens from time to time? Even more annoying to fix than it already is. All together, not worth mucking about with, in my opinion. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 11:18, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- Fair enough, thanks. Navbox it is then. I'll take some time to retrace my steps and integrate them. I think most of them are in Jaunpur. Robincantin (talk) 12:11, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- Cheers, if you need any help with doing navboxes (or anything else really) let me know :) ♠PMC♠ (talk) 12:18, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- ♠PMC♠ (talk), I just added Birahadpur to the Jaunpur navbox to get the hang of it, maybe you can check my work before I do a bunch of them. Cheers. Robincantin (talk) 16:57, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- Ah, so, {{Jaunpur district}} is one of the horribly-formatted existing ones I occasionally come across that needs to be reworked into something more like {{Sonbhadra district}}, where cities/towns and villages are separated in the navbox. It's nonsensical for a navbox to link to another bunch of navboxes, so that entire second section labelled "other districts" should be stripped out and replaced with the list of the district's villages, like I've done at the Sonbhadra navbox. I usually change the title to "Populated places in X district" as well. You can cheat and make this process less tedious by going into Category:Villages in Jaunpur district, selecting all of them at one, and copy-pasting that into your sandbox in Visual Editor mode. This preserves the bullet point and the link markup so you don't have to individually type out * [[Some village]] a hundred times. Then remove the headers and disambiguators (also usually easier to do in VE). Finally, switch to the regular text editor and copy-paste the newly-formatted list into the navbox under "villages". Now you have all the villages neatly placed into the navbox all at once and you can simply go through the navbox systematically making sure each article is de-orphan-tagged and has the navbox in it. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 23:53, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- Understood, getting it done :) Robincantin (talk) 13:38, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
- Looks fantastic! I made a couple little tweaks but mostly just personal preference, lol. Looks like you got a massive pile of de-orphanings out of it, which, not sure about you, but I always find super satisfying. Ping me or drop me a line if you run into anything else :) ♠PMC♠ (talk) 19:22, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Being a Donald Trump supporter has no bearing on the issue at hand. If this is how you respond to people on here, you will have no argument. Again, be neutral and civil.

No one is in charge of this project, it is member directed, which might have been the reason it almost went dormant. We are attempting to bring back conversations on the talk page and have two subprojects as well, in the hopes that it might spark involvement and a way of getting to know each other better. One was created several years ago but is very well organized and a lot of progress was made, Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skeptical organisations in Europe. The other I created a couple weeks ago, it is very simple and has a silly name Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skepticism Stub Sub-Project Project (SSSPP). This sub-project runs from March 1 to June 1, 2022. We are attempting to rewrite skepticism stubs and add them to this list. As you can see we have already made progress.
The reason I'm writing to you now is because we would love to have you come back to the project and become involved, either by working on one of the sub-projects, proposing your own (and managing it), or just hanging out on the talk page getting to know the other editors and maybe donate some of your wisdom to some of the conversations. As I said, no one is in charge, so if you have something in mind you would like to see done, please suggest it on the talk page and hopefully others will agree. Please add the project to your watchlist, update your personal user page showing you are a proud member of WikiProject Skepticism. And DIVE in, this is what the work list looks like [3] frightening at first glance, but we have already started chipping away at it.
The Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Participants page has gone though a giant change - you may want to update your information. And of course if this project no longer interests you, please remove your name from the participant list, we would hate to see you go, but completely understand.
Thank you for your time, I hope to edit with you in the future.Sgerbic (talk) 07:28, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
- Still obsessively re-assessing that stubs list, Sgerbic, adding short descriptions as I go through it and tagging texts I want to go back to. Might be done with that task over the weekend. Robincantin (talk) 10:25, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
- Terrific - I did a longish spot check last week and was able to remove many from the list that were no longer stubs. It's been neglected for so long, probably years that it will take a while to get it in order. Thanks for doing this Robin. It's hard to get started when there is a mess first.

Superstition
[edit]Greetings and thanks for taking up this article update.
- I had updated this to do list, I am keenly interested in Superstition and religion related article expansions, so requesting your visit to Draft:Irrational beliefs and Draft:Superstitions in Christian societies and help expand as per your interest and convenience.
- One difficulty while updating superstition related other articles is some users insistently ask to show word superstition in the source. That is why we need to have a comprehensive and stable definition @ main Superstition article lead so while updating other articles we would be able to say such and such component falls under definition of superstition.
- Following sources I had noted down in my sandbox for later update in the article Superstition see if those help your ongoing update in anyway.
- Vyse, Stuart A.. Believing in Magic: The Psychology of Superstition - Updated Edition. United Kingdom, OUP USA, 2013. Page 22.

Speedy deletion nomination of Romana Didulo
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Romana Didulo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Romana Didulo. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

About Elliot Bogod
[edit]Dear Robincantin, You reverted the edits (for notability tags) on Elliot Bogod. Are the existing references not enough to justify his notability? 103.19.141.1 (talk) 11:38, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
- Not in my opinion, no. As I wrote on the Talk page (where this discussion should be taking place), what we have now is either various incarnations of his own bio, or tiny mentions in articles from low-quality sources. It's a common problem, nothing to fret about - but the article does need better sources. Just adding links to posts the topic wrote himself won't change that, nothing useful was added since another editor put the template up, so it should remain there.
- If you're going to interact with other editors, I suggest you register an account and sign your posts. That will make conversations easier. Robincantin (talk) 12:12, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
- Thank You for your advice. Cheers. 103.19.141.1 (talk) 12:29, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

The article Jaigris Hodson has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Not enough in-depth coverage to meet WP:GNG, and does not meet WP:NSCHOLAR.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Onel5969 TT me 10:29, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

Christopher Labos moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, Christopher Labos, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello
[edit]I noticed you have been editing some health-related articles, and I wanted to say that a bunch of us hang out at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine. You're welcome to join us if that's an area of editing that interests you. It's a good place to ask questions about finding good sources for medical content or writing style. Feel free to put the group's page on your watchlist, or stop by to say hello some time. WhatamIdoing (talk) 02:11, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Robincantin!

- Thank you, jp×g🗯️. I hadn't updated this articles in about six months, made a few additions now, including some from a recent book on this type of influencers I happen to have. Still a little borderline for notability perhaps, it's interesting to follow and contribute to the AfD conversation. Cheers. Robincantin (talk) 14:44, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
