A beer for you!

I thought your Chinazi close was spot-on (I had thought about changing my !vote to "endorse but redirect", since redirect was so obviously the right outcome), and the kind of bold-but-correct close that few attempt and even fewer nail. While I'm here, let me also say two things: (1) put me down as supporting promoting WP:THREE from a userspace essay to at least a mainspace essay if not an informational supplement or guideline of its own (though I understand you disagree and I understand your reasons, add me to the long list of people that think this essay should essentially be policy), and (2) I hope you seriously consider running for Arbcom this year. You have a rare combination of judgment, temperament, and experience that would make you an excellent addition to the committee. Happy editing! Levivich 20:34, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for the kind words and the beer. I'll have a pint of Allagash White, please. It's my current favorite. I have thought a bunch about running for arbcom, but I always think the same thing: why would I want to subject myself to that kind of abuse? I did toss my hat in the ring for CU, which doesn't seem to be going well. As for WP:THREE, at least for the moment, I'm indulging myself with a dose of WP:OWNERSHIP which I can only justify in my userspace. My fear is if I put it in WP space, it would get pecked to death. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:19, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
It seems to me to be going well, those were some great answers. If it'll help, I can go do some logged out editing and you can block me? Levivich 04:41, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

Draft: El Códice Maya de México (The Maya Codex of Mexico)

In response to editor's [note]. The Maya Codices wikipedia page contains general information about all known Maya codices that are outdated or inaccurate within its discussion of Códice Maya de México (CMM), previously called the Grolier Codex. Although there is a section dedicated to the "Grolier Codex" within the Maya Codices wiki page, its language and stance concerning its authenticity have not been sufficiently updated. Considering that there does exist another wikipedia page dedicated to the Grolier Codex (now renamed El Códice Maya de México, or The Maya Codex of Mexico, by the Mexican government) it is crucial that a new page that adds the latest updates on the subject matter be presented. The reason for such an assertion is that the Grolier Codex wiki page contains arguments rendered null by the Mexican scientific studies proving without a reasonable doubt the authenticity of the CMM; however, that page does serve well in documenting the various arguments involved throughout the decades since Michael D. Coe first published a small-scale facsimile of the CMM in 1973. Another aspect that sets this draft apart from the other major pages mentioned above is the updated list of references which shall lead all interested readers to sources presenting the latest results on research dedicated to the study of the CMM. Of course, because most of these materials are written in Spanish, part of this article's objectives were designed to provide English speaking and reading audiences with broad but accurate summary of these researchers' findings.--GenxM (talk) 18:29, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

@GenxM: thanks for your note. I'll reply directly on the draft with a comment there. Best to keep the conversation in one place. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:23, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

Question re:deletions/redirects

Thanks for clearing my proposed deletion/redirect of article Bwark Productions lately. You mentioned that my AfD proposal of this page was not really necessary. What would you suggest as the ideal procedure for going about deleting/redirecting insubstantial, slightly pointless articles like said example? I did read WP:BOLD but would rather get some kind of consensus behind removing content outright in any case. Hamptonian92 (talk) 15:11, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

@Hamptonian92: Hi, and thanks for your note. The answer to your question is a little complicated, partly because of a confusion over terminology.
Bwark Productions isn't actually deleted. The full history is still there, visible to anybody who knows to look for it. If you click on Bwark Productions, it will take you to The Inbetweeners, but also notice up near the top, just under the page title, it also says, (Redirected from Bwark Productions). If you click on that link, it'll take you to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bwark_Productions&redirect=no, where the extra "redirect=no" means, Don't execute the redirect, show me the original underlying page. From there, if you click on the "View history" link at the top, you can see the full history of the page, like it was before the redirect.
Creating that redirect is something anybody, including yourself, could have done. The next question is, would other people have objected to that? Maybe, but if they did, they could have just undone it just as easily. We call this the WP:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. Because it's so easy to undo something like this, we make it simple for people to just go ahead and experiment. This openness sometimes leads to abuse (i.e. vandalism) but on the whole, it works pretty well.
As an alternative to just redirecting out the blue, you might have also started a conversation on the article's talk page saying, "I think this should be redirected to xxx, does anybody mind?" If people agree, or even if after a few days, nobody says anything either way, just go ahead and do it.
On the other hand, if you really wanted to delete the entry completely, as in erase its history so it can't be seen by regular users, that's something that requires the special permissions granted to admins. To do that, you need to go through the AfD process like you did. People discuss it for a week, and if there's agreement to delete it, then an admin (like myself) comes along and deletes the history.
It's possible to delete the history and also create a redirect at the same time, but we generally don't do that unless there's some good reason why the old content can't continue to exist on the system, such as copyright violations or libelous statements about somebody. Those situations are rare.
Anyway, you didn't do anything wrong. There's just a range of possible processes that might have been used in your case and I was pointing out a simpler one that you might have chosen. It's really no big deal. Hope that helps. Please feel free to ask if anything still doesn't make sense. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:12, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

I've added all sources about this channel. Why it always be declined ?

If you can improve this article, do it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.92.37.104 (talkcontribs) 15:13, 15 October 2019 (UTC) / — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.92.101.62 (talkcontribs) 15:14, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello 41.92.37.104/41.92.101.62, I may not be RoySmith, but I can probably answer this for you. At current, the sourcing within the draft is not sufficient to demonstrate notability and the draft is largely unsourced (inline or otherwise). Notability has to be demonstrated by the inclusion of independent and reliable sources which "back up" the information written in the draft/article. This draft is currently being considered for deletion due to the number of times that it has been resubmitted without any improvement. This is called tendentious editing and is not good. Declined drafts should only be resubmitted once improvements have been made, which you think reasonably addresses the concerns that have been raised by reviewers. Doing otherwise can lead to deletion as it becomes a burden for reviewers. At this point, it is best to wait for the discussion to run its course. If the draft is deleted, then please do not recreate it. If it is kept, then please make improvements to it and do not resubmit without consulting (talking) to another editor about it (you can certainly reach out to me here in that case if you wish).
Lastly, I wanted to address your comment that "If you can improve this article, do it." That is partially the idea - that editors work together to improve articles/drafts and increase their quality - but the burden/responsibility of sourcing the material that is added to an article or draft lies with the editor who adds the material in the first place/originally. --TheSandDoctor Talk 15:23, 16 October 2019 (UTC) (talk page stalker)

2020 in England

Should 2020 in England be class=draft, or perhaps something else?--Dthomsen8 (talk) 21:21, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

It got promoted from draft to mainspace, so clearly class=draft doesn't apply anymore. I'm really not an expert at the rating system, so the best advice I can give is that you should go ahead and rate them. You might want to ask at Wikipedia talk:Content assessment for more specific advice than I'm able to give. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:32, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for the very prompt reply. I am assessing all the ENGLAND articles, using the Rater tool at User:Evad37/rater, which I commend to your attention. I rated 2020 in England as class=stub.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 21:45, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
Sounds good. Thanks for the pointer to the rater tool. I've never used it, but pretty much everything Evad37 does is good stuff. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:48, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Editing News #2 – Mobile editing and talk pages – October 2019

Read this in another languageSubscription list for this multilingual newsletter

Inside this newsletter, the Editing team talks about their work on the mobile visual editor, on the new talk pages project, and at Wikimania 2019.

Help

What talk page interactions do you remember? Is it a story about how someone helped you to learn something new? Is it a story about how someone helped you get involved in a group? Something else? Whatever your story is, we want to hear it!

Please tell us a story about how you used a talk page. Please share a link to a memorable discussion, or describe it on the talk page for this project. The team would value your examples. These examples will help everyone develop a shared understanding of what this project should support and encourage.

Talk Pages

The Talk Pages Consultation was a global consultation to define better tools for wiki communication. From February through June 2019, more than 500 volunteers on 20 wikis, across 15 languages and multiple projects, came together with members of the Foundation to create a product direction for a set of discussion tools. The Phase 2 Report of the Talk Page Consultation was published in August. It summarizes the product direction the team has started to work on, which you can read more about here: Talk Page Project project page.

The team needs and wants your help at this early stage. They are starting to develop the first idea. Please add your name to the "Getting involved" section of the project page, if you would like to hear about opportunities to participate.

Mobile visual editor

The Editing team is trying to make it simpler to edit on mobile devices. The team is changing the visual editor on mobile. If you have something to say about editing on a mobile device, please leave a message at Talk:VisualEditor on mobile.

What happens when you click on a link. The new Edit Card is bigger and has more options for editing links.
The editing toolbar is changing in the mobile visual editor. The old system had two different toolbars. Now, all the buttons are together. Tell the team what you think about the new toolbar.
  • In September, the Editing team updated the mobile visual editor's editing toolbar. Anyone could see these changes in the mobile visual editor.
    • One toolbar: All of the editing tools are located in one toolbar. Previously, the toolbar changed when you clicked on different things.
    • New navigation: The buttons for moving forward and backward in the edit flow have changed.
    • Seamless switching: an improved workflow for switching between the visual and wikitext modes.
  • Feedback: You can try the refreshed toolbar by opening the mobile VisualEditor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the Toolbar feedback talk page.

Wikimania

The Editing Team attended Wikimania 2019 in Sweden. They led a session on the mobile visual editor and a session on the new talk pages project. They tested two new features in the mobile visual editor with contributors. You can read more about what the team did and learned in the team's report on Wikimania 2019.

Looking ahead

  • Talk Pages Project: The team is thinking about the first set of proposed changes. The team will be working with a few communities to pilot those changes. The best way to stay informed is by adding your username to the list on the project page: Getting involved.
  • Testing the mobile visual editor as the default: The Editing team plans to post results before the end of the calendar year. The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: VisualEditor as mobile default project page.
  • Measuring the impact of Edit Cards: The Editing team hopes to share results in November. This study asks whether the project helped editors add links and citations. The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: Edit Cards project page.

Redirect Chinazi

Could you please redirect Chinazi to Tactics and methods surrounding the 2019 Hong Kong protests#Chinazi? It is because I added a section "Chinazi" and it is about Chinazi this term. Thank you! --SCP-2000 (talk) 09:39, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Done. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:47, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you

I missed them before but if you look at their talk page December 2018, and April 2019 both indicate this has happened recently. Gleeanon409 (talk) 14:48, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

I assume you're talking about Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Djtechno95. I actually hadn't noticed the warnings on the IP's talk page, but no matter. Now they've been warned in both places, so if it happens again, there won't be any doubt that it's intentional and they'll get blocked. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:20, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

I just wanted to let you know that the editor has reverted your move, and put the article back into the mainspace. CodeLyokobuzz 16:17, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, the AfD was unanimous to delete it. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:11, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

May I ask why? I belonged to this fraternity that existed a several catholic colleges. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.66.61.218 (talk) 22:25, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

What we need is good sources that are talking about the organization. The applicable guideline is WP:NORG. In a nutshell, A ... organization ... is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. The article that was deleted had no references, and people at the AfD said they did their own searching and couldn't find any either. If you want, I can restore this as a draft, where you can continue to work on it. But, please understand, for this to get accepted back into mainspace, you'll need to find sources sufficient to meet the requirements set down in WP:NORG. I'm not optimistic you'll be able to do that, but you can try if you want. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:45, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

Request on 16:16:51, 24 October 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by FeartheTurtle87


Hello Roy,

Thank you for your feedback in relation to the Kenneth J. Collins page that I have been working on. I am sorry that the page did not have enough secondary sources befitting a wikipedia page and have been working to increase secondary sources for Kenneth J. Collins.

My question to you is this: Do I need to cite the secondary sources within the body of the page or simply have them included somewhere on the page? I know that the text can be adjusted to accommodate for more sources/citations. However, the list that I have is more extensive than what was previously provided.

My whole reason for seeking to create a Kenneth J. Collins page is to acknowledge him as a Methodist theologian, to which I compared many of those listed under Methodist theologians with what I created for him.

Thank you for your help in this.

Andy Newman


FeartheTurtle87 (talk) 16:16, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean by, "My whole reason for seeking to create a Kenneth J. Collins page is to acknowledge him as a Methodist theologian"? Do you have some connection with the subject? -- RoySmith (talk) 16:59, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

SPI sigs

Just a heads up that I've seen a couple of edits on SPIs where your sig has been missing today, 1 2. I don't know if the SPI tool is barfing, or you're editing manually and expecting a sig to appear as if you were using the tool, but I thought I should let you know.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Marcus Garvey Park, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page New York (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

I don't know why you brought up COI, but since you did, yes, being a student of the subject is a WP:COI and needs to be declared. Readers can decide for themselves how that will affect their evaluation of the article. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:37, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Suryarane22 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

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.

The museum is excited to work with Wikipedia Asian Month for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of Asia. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely. Asia Art Archive will host a sister event in Hong Kong next week.
