Re: Nomination of Manchester United's Digital Marketing Strategy for deletion

Hi SshibumXZ

Could you please inform me as to why my article of Manchester United's Digital Marketing Strategy has been nominated for deletion?

If you provide me the reasons why I would be more than willing to try and improve the article to meet your own and wikipedias standards.

Regards 

Benterry101 (talk) 21:03, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi, Benterry101, I have nominated Manchester United's Digital Marketing Strategy for deletion because it contains only primary sources, and hence, doesn't qualify Wikipedia's general notability guidelines. I would recommend that you read up on WP:Your first article and WP: General notability guidelines. You may also want to have a look at WP:NFOOTBALL, if you want to create biographies of footballers. All the best!

Re: Nomination of Manchester United's Digital Marketing Strategy for deletion

Hi SshibumXZ

I am slightly confused when you say my article has only primary sources, as I have referenced 8 times throughout the article, providing evidence of my statements, which can be found in the references section.

Could you please elaborate on this for me please?

Benterry101 (talk) 21:20, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

@Benterry101: Hi again, a primary source means a source that is closely associated with the subject of the article, for example, in your article most of the citations are from Manchester United itself, so, whilst they are kind of important, they can not be used to establish notability. See: WP:Primary for more.

Re: Nomination of Manchester United's Digital Marketing Strategy for deletion

Hi again SshibumXZ

Thank you for your feedback. I understand what you mean about my use of primary source and can see how these soruces may effect the validity of the article. I will attempt to change these to more appropriate sources soon. Thank you for your feedback!

Speedy deletion declined: Institute of the Right of Peace and Development - IDPD

Hello SshibumXZ. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Institute of the Right of Peace and Development - IDPD, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: 1) is mentioned at University of Nice Sophia Antipolis, so redirecting there per WP:ATD-R takes precedence; 2) fr-wiki has an article about this since 2009, so there might be some importance. Thank you. SoWhy 12:21, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

@SoWhy: no worries.

Project Tiger Writing Contest

In 2017 – 2018, the Wikimedia Foundation and Google working in close coordination with the Centre for Internet and Society (CIS), Wikimedia India Chapter (WMIN) and user groups from India, are piloting a program encouraging Wikipedia communities to create locally relevant and high-quality content in Indian languages. This program will (a) support active and experienced Wikipedia editors through the donation of laptops and stipends for internet access and (b) sponsor a language-based contest that aims to address existing Wikipedia content gaps.

Phase (a) has been completed, during which active contributors were awarded laptops and internet stipends. Phase (b) will be a contest in which editors will come together and develop a writing contest focused on content gaps. Each month three individual prizes will be awarded to each community based on their contribution for the month. The prizes worth 3,000 INR, 2000 INR, and 1,000 INR, will be awarded to the top contributors for each month. The contest started at March 1, 2018, 0:00, and will end at May 31, 2018, 23:59 (IST). Useful links are as follows:

Infobox law enforcement agency

This infobox needs attention. It messes up the categorisation of articles. I'm afraid I have no idea how to mend it, but perhaps you do? Rathfelder (talk) 16:00, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

Mobile phone vandal

I see that the unregistered IP mobile vandal has returned to List of current heads of state and government & Indian related gov't articles. Soon have to semi-protect those articles, again. GoodDay (talk) 16:00, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

@GoodDay: I didn't know that their vandalism was this widespread. And yes, semi-protection — maybe even indefinite semi-protection — would be a good idea.

ACTRIAL:

  • ACTRIAL's six month experiment restricting new page creation to (auto)confirmed users ended on 14 March. As expected, a greatly increased number of unsuitable articles and candidates for deletion are showing up in the feed again, and the backlog has since increased already by ~30%. Please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day.

Paid editing

  • Now that ACTRIAL is inoperative pending discussion, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary.

Subject-specific notability guidelines

Nominate competent users for Autopatrolled

  • While patrolling articles, if you find an editor that is particularly competent at creating quality new articles, and that user has created more than 25 articles (rather than stubs), consider nominating them for the 'Autopatrolled' user right HERE.

News

  • The next issue Wikipedia's newspaper The Signpost has now been published after a long delay. There are some articles in it, including ACTRIAL wrap-up that will be of special interest to New Page Reviewers. Don't hesitate to contribute to the comments sections. The Signpost is one of the best ways to stay up date with news and new developments - please consider subscribing to it. All editors of Wikipedia and associated projects are welcome to submit articles on any topic for consideration by the The Signpost's editorial team for the next issue.

09:35:59, 23 March 2018 review of submission by Tony Kaiser


I have resubmitted a revised version of the articla in February with all the copyrights needed (see Ref. in the revised article) I cannot, however, find the revised version again, did not receive feedback and asking myself what the status is. Tony Kaiser (talk) 09:35, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

@Tony Kaiser: those versions had copyright violations and even though — as you claimed — the copyright belonged to you (or your affiliates), but that is not enough for Wikipedia, for more info, see: Wikipedia: Donating copyrighted material. Also, as, the article — in its present condition — seems to be good enough to be published, I have resubmitted it for consideration, now, you have to just wait for a AfC reviewer to review it and then publish it.

Wikipedysta:Bayyal/brudnopis listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Wikipedysta:Bayyal/brudnopis.

Speedy deletion - delete an article, then say "fix it yourself"?

I refer to [Speedy deletion of yours today].

  • You've deleted the article because you feel the subject lacks notability.
    • Yet, you've told me I can create a new page about this subject if I want to
  • You've told me to the new article just has to contain references
    • Yet the original article HAD references before you deleted it!

This is hypocrisy and I suspect your actions may be inconsistent with Wikipedia guidelines for editors.

Do you feel it is reasonable to nominate an article for Speedy Deletion when: a) you clearly have now knowledge of it's notability b) you fail to specify how the subject does not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria.

Please specifically outline how you have adhered to Wikipedia policy by nominating this article for Speedy Deletion, quoting the specific passages of Wikipedia policy that apply to this example.

Kind regards

Jkokavec (talk) 11:05, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

@Jkokavec: hi, first, I didn't delete the article, I just nominated it for speedy deletion, as — in my opinion — it didn't qualify Wikipedia's notability guidelines for corporations. Second, an admin, Espresso Addict, then turned the page into a redirect, as they probably believed that 'National Vision Research Institute of Australia' is probable search term. Then, you blanked the page, which made it have no content whatsover, and hence, made it suspectible to A3 criteria for speedy deletion (no content whatsoever). So, what I did then, was to revert your revision. What I was suggesting then, was that you rewrite the article with reliable, secondary sources, see: Wikipedia:Your first article for more info.
P.S. — The original version of the article had no reliable, secondary sources, so, your claim, "Yet the original article HAD references before you deleted it!", doesn't really stand.

Ann Mandelbaum

I have rewritten Draft:Ann Mandelbaum. Please let me know of you still have concerns about notability. Thanks, Vexations (talk) 01:50, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

@Vexations: first, sorry for the delayed response. Second, I still believe that the draft doesn't qualify WP:GNG, as, most of the sources are either not reliable or are primary. Hence, I think that the draft isn't ready to be published just yet.
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 19:13, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
@SshibumXZ: Which sources are not reliable, please? Vexations (talk) 19:22, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
@Vexations: In my opinion — and I can't stress this enough — the ArtFacts.net source is not reliable. Also, the Pratt Institute, National Gallery of Canada, Center for Creative Photography sources seem to be primary. But, I not that well versed with photography, so, maybe I am missing something?
P.S. — You don't need to ping me at my talk page, as, I already get an email if/when someone comments on my talkpage.
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 19:32, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
Artfacts.net does independent analysis (they're quite expensive) of the art market. They are both independent and reliable. Pratt is not independent, but reliable for the facts cited. The National Gallery is both independent and reliable and so is the Center for Creative Photography. What you've missed may have been the notability criteria for artists WP:ARTIST where Mandelbaum meets at least criterion 3 (there are three books about her work) and 4d: her work is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums. Vexations (talk) 19:43, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
@Vexations: oh, ok. If that is the case, then the the draft easily merits an article.
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 19:47, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
So now I come to my real concern: Do you realize how damaging and bitey your lack of understanding of notability criteria, your impulsive deletions and your unwillingness to perform WP:BEFORE on pages in the Special:NewPagesFeed are to the project? I do a lot of outreach work, and the people who show up at those events are sometimes woefully unequipped to write an article, but they do act in good faith and often bring expertise of niche subjects that we could really use. Their articles can almost always be saved. To immediately nominate such articles for speedy deletion is incredible damaging to our outreach efforts. It would not surprise me if the user who started the Mandelbaum piece never wants to come back, after how they were welcomed here. I think you need to consider the consequences of your actions. I suggest you read User:Ritchie333/Plain and simple guide to A7 and User:SoWhy/Common A7 mistakes. There's some sage advice in there. I suggest you take it. Vexations (talk) 20:06, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
@Vexations: I do understand the implications that what one's bitey behaviour has. But, you do know that WP:BEFORE doesn't apply to speedy deletion nominations? But, I do note your point, and would keep these things in mind the next time I nominate an article for speedy deletion.
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 21:29, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
It doesn't apply because A7 has a LOWER threshold than notability. Vexations (talk) 21:30, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
@Vexations: I do know that, what I was implying — as Bbb23 pointed out to you at a talk page — is that going through WP:BEFORE is not necessary before nominating an article for speedy deletion. However, I do get what you are try insinuate, and from the next time on, I would check WP:BEFORE before I nominate an article for speedy deletion through the A7 criterion.
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 22:00, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
Butting in to an unrelated discussion, unless the subject is say a school child or the like you should at least pop the name into Google before going for speedy. The deleting admin should do that, but the less the burden is on the ~530 active admins, not all of whom work in deletion, the better. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 22:26, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Akin Osuntokun at A7

Hi SshibumXZ -- I've declined your speedy A7 on this article because there are clear claims of notability in the article. Please bear in mind in future that A7 is only for where there are no claims of any significance at all; autobiographies and unreferenced material don't count under this criterion if there is any claim of notability. Espresso Addict (talk) 00:52, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

@Espresso Addict: no worries, I should've gone through the article more thoroughly.
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 22:16, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
Try to bear in mind that African topics are woefully underrepresented here, and few of the tiny number of editors working on them have English as their first language. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 22:23, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Hanns Fischer (April 3)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Legacypac was:
This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
He may well be notable but this wording is too promotional. Please fix.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

15th Fin Commision

Hi I actually corrected factual errors. 1) Nand Kishore Singh is a senior member of BJP since 2014 ( a vital information for neutrality, which must be added)

2) It is not politicians alone who are criticising the move, but also the people of South India. (By including Politicians alone in the article, you are biased against the South Indian peoples voice) The right way would be THE GOVERNMENT OF SOUTH INDIA opposes/approves the move as the Government will be the right word rather than politicians. Or better still, People and Politicians.

3) Kerala FM calls for meeting of 5 States of South India. NOT 10 . SOuth India has only 5 States and few union territories.

This is the correction I did, now where is the problem of neutrality??? (Bengalurumaga (talk) 10:02, 3 April 2018 (UTC))

Speedy deletion declined: Ops and Tactics

Hello SshibumXZ. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Ops and Tactics, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7 cannot be applied to products. Thank you. SoWhy 07:41, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

@SoWhy: no worries. But, doesn't A7 apply to web-based games/products?
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 08:15, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
It does. But this is not one of them. It's a product you use offline but download resources for. To use a relevant example: Dungeons & Dragons resources are available online. But that does not make D&D a web-based product, does it? Regards SoWhy 08:34, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

New page reviewer advice

Hi. Thanks for patrolling the new page feed. I would however recommend that you wait a little while before tagging them. I was working on History of Maryland Terrapins football, but my edits got edit conflicted out. Cheers AIRcorn (talk) 20:58, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

@Aircorn: would do so from next time on. However — and with all due respect to you— shouldn't categories be added before publishing the page?
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 21:05, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
There are many ways editors create pages and no obligation to have it categorised before publishing. This one was part of a split, the content being taken from an already existing article. I was already in the process of copying over the relavent categories, see alsos and other links. I don't do new page patrolling so am not 100%, but am pretty sure it is good practice to give editors a bit of time to organise, expand or reference the article before reviewing. Don't take this badly, it is an important job reviewing the new pages and I am glad we have editors like you willing to do it. AIRcorn (talk) 21:13, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
@Aircorn: I knew that it was imperative to wait for 10-15 minutes for nominating a page for speedy deletion; didn't know that it applied to applying tags, too. Anyway, I would try to give the article creator/any other editor a courtesy time of 10-15 minutes before reviewing a page from the next time on.
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 21:18, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
From my point of view it resulted in an edit conflict as I was half way through formatting the article. It was a little annoying, but not a big deal. Thanks for listening and keep up the good work. AIRcorn (talk) 21:31, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Baronet page styling guidance

Thank you for your help on the page. I note you edited the page title to read 'Robert Warren, 1st Baronet'. I was under the impression (Wikipedia:Naming conventions (royalty and nobility) 5.1 British nobility/3. Baronets.) of the guidance as follows 'A baronet should never be referred to with the title but without "Sir" preceding (e.g. do not use "William Williams, 2nd Baronet, of Clapton").' and 'if the name is ambiguous and the baronetcy is the best disambiguator from other people with that name, use the full style as the article title:'. These things are often confusing... but I believe that the page name should read 'Sir Robert Warren, 1st Baronet'. ??? JamesW567 (talk) 21:50, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

@JamesW567: you are quite right, I had a different assumption about the policy (apparently, I was applying the policy for knighthoods and other british royalty (princes and the likes), the system is quite complex, to be very frank). But now as the move has been reverted, and the title quite clearly satisfies WP:NCPEER, I don't think there is any further discussion to be had regarding this.

@Riptide360:  Done: As, unlike SpaceCrafter, which I nominated for deletion because of its lack of sources, this article has got good-ish sourcing. However, I would suggest that you improve the article bit more, as — in its current state — it's still susceptible to an AfD nomination.

DYK nom of All India Services Act, 1951

Hi SshibumXZ, I'm sorry but I had to fail the nomination. The article total is 2934 characters. 2090 characters was copied from Indian Administrative Service#history. According to the rules, the page would need to be 10000 characters long after a 5x expansion. As it's been awhile since it was submitted and is far away from reaching the 10000 mark, I have to fail this. It's a good article but does not meet the rules of DYK. I highly recommend you submit another article when you get a chance and try to rewrite anything you have taken from another wikipedia page. --Meanderingbartender (talk) 20:16, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

@Meanderingbartender: no problem. This was my first DYK nomination, so, I was kind of just testing the waters, my second nomination is already at the prep stage. Having said that, I think I can still make the article reach ~10,000 characters, however, that would mean copying more content from other pages, so, what's the DYK policy on that?

@Color SC: hi, as per Wikipedia's manual of style for leads/ledes, a lead is always necessary as it summarizes the key points of an article, and as most people only — especially on mobile devices — only read an article's lead, so I would recommend that you add a lead.

Report about User:Djspidernyc

You reported the new username Djspidernyc at WP:UAA as a promotional name. You might not have been aware, but according to Wikipedia:Username policy#Stage names, Users may use their stage name, pen name, or other nickname as their username, provided that it uniquely identifies a single person. This is not considered promotional, even if commercial performances or publications are made under such a name.. Please recall this in future. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 22:01, 3 April 2018 (UT

@DESiegel: you are quite right in assuming that I wasn't aware of the said policy. However, Lil RockStar (Rapper) (talk · contribs) was banned by OrangeMike under the same policy — not that it'd make much difference, seeing that the aforementioned account is a sock puppet — but, was that ban wrong?
Also, shouldn't Djspidernyc still be banned as he was creating promotional autobiographies?
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 11:33, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
According to the log entry, Lil RockStar (Rapper) (talk · contribs) was blocked for socking, not for a promotional user name. Socking abusivly is always grounds for blocking, regardless of name, and of promotion. (Note that there are legit alternate accounts. I have 2 myself.) As for Djspidernyc , creating an autobiography is not forbidden, merely discouraged. Creating a blatantly promotional page is grounds for the page being speedy deleted, but not for blocking unless it is done repeatedly after warnings, and not for banning or indef blocking unless it is persisted in after multiple blocks, in my view. In general, blocking should be a last resort, i feel. (However an obvious vandal can be blocked fairly quickly.) Some admins are quicker to block than others, there is a range of acceptable judgement in such matters. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 13:11, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
@DESiegel:, oh, ok, so basically there's no hard and fast rule, right? By the way, check out Lil RockStar (Rapper) (talk · contribs)'s talk page. Also, I do know about sock-puppet policy of Wikipedia, but thanks anyway for pointing it out, I appreciate the effort.
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 22:00, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for calling my attention to that talk page. It looks to me as if OrangeMike's initial block may have been mistaken, or at least listed an incorrect block reason. I will call that user's attention to this. Since Lil RockStar (Rapper) (talk · contribs) has been identified as a sock puppet, this will not lead to an unblock, it is just for future reference in dealing with other accounts using stage names as user names.
Very few of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines are "hard and fast" rules -- about the only ones that spring to mind are "Don't use copyrighted content without a proper license" and "don't plagiarize". Oh and "don't make paid edits without a proper disclosure". Many are fairly hard but have some room for judgement in what constitutes a violation, such as "don't spam", "Don't Edit War", "don't make legal threats", and "don't vandalize".
I am glad that you want to understand what is and is not OK here. Do feel free to ask me or any experienced editor if you have further questions, or to post at the Teahouse with any such questions. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 22:16, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
My interpretation of that section is that if an editor uses their stage name, side project alter ego name, blog title, or other pseudonym (such as, say, "Orange Mike") simply as a username, then the wording being cited applies. But if they create articles or otherwise use the account for promotion of that stage name, side project or blog, then the very existence of that username is part of the promotional project, and a spamuserblock is in order. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:22, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

Look before you revert please

The edits of mine that you called an "Unexplained removal of content." were explained on the first edit summary and also on the article talk page. Did you actually look at what content was removed? It was highly promotional vanity article that was more like a resume than an encyclopedia article. Be a little more careful next time, please. 124.106.139.19 (talk) 18:09, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

124.106.139.19 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), yes, I did go through the content you removed at Alok Ranjan; and yes it was indeed extremely promotional. The problem is, that, when I reviewed your edits; they were clubbed together and had the edit summary of your last edit, which was empty and as the system categorised one of your edits to 'likely have problems'; I reverted it. But now that I have gone through the edits, I agree with you, and would reconstruct the aforementioned article in a day or three.

ISRO

It was decided in the RfCs for WP:INDICSCRIPT that IAST is a script. Now please self-revert. - Sitush (talk) 17:51, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

@Sitush: hi, I quickly went through RfCs for WP:INDICSRIPTS, and I didn't find any hint — whatosever — of a consensus, regarding the usage of IAST in lead/infoboxes of articles under the ambit of WikiProject India. Would you be so kind as to point towards the concerned diff?
Also, just by the by, wasn't your revert in violation with WP:BRD? I am fully aware that it's not a policy, by the way.
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 18:26, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
I am not arguing with you - fed up at the moment of trying to explain stuff to relatively new contributors. I'll let someone else take it out. Why people refuse to accept it is beyond me.
IPA is ok, even though I really don't understand it and nor do most other people. IAST, though, is, by definition, not English and this is the English Wikipedia. The whole point of the RfCs (there were several) is that there are too many variations of Indic spellings/scripts and they just add clutter and become a magnet for vandalism etc. Leaving the "scripts" in there serves no useful purpose except to people who already know how to transliterate and therefore do not need them. Common sense but clearly not enough people possess it. - Sitush (talk) 18:36, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
@Sitush: you don't need to assume bad faith here. One not understanding IPA/IAST isn't really a reason for not including them, most people don't understand astrophysics and electrodynamics, that doesn't equate to them being not covered throughout Wikipedia. ISRO's official name has only one transliteration, and that is the one mentioned in the article.
Also, I see you used a variation of Voltaire's famous phrase, but, if, the majority doesn't get common sense, is it really all that 'common'? Again, I went through the several RfCs — though rather quickly — and I didn't find any strong mention of a consensus being reached on explicitly not using IPA/IAST, I request — again — that you point me towards the concerned thread where the supposed consensus was reached.
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 19:35, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
I am not assuming bad faith. I just can't be bothered arguing this point over and over again with people who insist on ignoring it. Someone else will fix it in due course. And I really do not give a crap what Voltaire said, sorry. - Sitush (talk) 07:45, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
@Sitush: I have self-reverted my edit, I understand that Wikipedia is a collaborative project, and everyone has to abide by its rules and precedents. However, as I have said two times before, I do not see any explicit mention of a policy/guideline debarring IPA/IAST transliterations, I am aware of WP:INDICSRIPTS — just by the way — and have upheld it almost all of the time. But, as you are one of the more experienced Wikipedians, and one that I personally adore you for your work on India-related topics, I have decided to self-revert. As I don't think that there is any further discussion needing to be had regarding this, I bid you good day.

Close paraphrasing template

Hello.

Thank you for your contributions made to the article I created Agrarian reforms in Azerbaijan. You have put a template of close paraphrasing, and I would like to know which part exactly made you think so so that I can correct them and make my article to comply with Wiki standards. Lalalzd (talk) 06:58, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

@Lalalzd: hi, these are the URLs with which I suspect a bit of copyright violation ———
  • cis-legislation.com/document.fwx?rgn=277 (copyvio report);
  • aplr.org/conference/en/experts_papers/legal_framework/Legal%20Framework%20of%20the%20Property%20Rights_Az_eng.ht (copyvio report); and
  • unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/hlm/prgm/cph/countries/azerbaijan/CPAzerbaijan.chapter2.pd (just a bit, though; copyvio report)
Do ask me if you have got any other doubt.
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 18:19, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply, Very much appreciated. However, if you looked more carefully into the report, you would see that: 1. The first link you posted, I actually cited the source within the text, and gave the words in "" in order to show that these are not my words, but Legislation and official decree. 2. 2nd and 3rd links, I reviewed the reports, again the most similarities were found in the NAMES of the decrees, which does not violate the rules, because changing the names of the legislation is not a proper thing to do. However, I do aknowledge that there might be some similarities in the description of what the Laws state, even though I changed the wordings, and generalised what was written in the Law.

I ask you to review the report one more time. Lalalzd (talk) 10:38, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

@Lalazd: generally, only about 200 characters of character is put in double quotation marks ("), and as the content in the article seemed to be more than 200 characters, I tagged it with {{closeparaphrasing}}, however, if you want to, you are very much welcome to remove the template. All the best!
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 17:03, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Please contribute more carefully

Sorry if you get some anger that is not solely based on what you did but this is already my second experience with a new article reviewer who apparently has no knowledge about the subject and doesn't take the care it would need to evaluate the subject. Just read the notability requirements for musicians to which you pointed yourself and you see that Maite Hontelé easily meets at least three of the criteria: has been subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself, nominated for an important award, has released two or more albums on a major record label. Also, everything that is in the article text can be found in the references. If you don't speak Spanish, maybe ask first or leave it to someone who does. Why don't you just use talk pages before you place ugly and in this case unnecessary templates? Crotopaxi (talk) 22:09, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

@Crotpaxi: hi, I have already replied at the concerned talk page; I would suggest continuing this discussion over there.
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 22:40, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
As you also show a poor understanding of verifiability it might be helpful for other users to see if they are not the first to have such experience with you. Crotopaxi (talk) 00:41, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
@Crotopaxi: My understanding of verifiability is good, thanks for the concern, though. Also, I believe you might be aware that a user is fully entitled to add or remove messages on his/her talk page as he/she likes, not that I would, just putting it out there. If you want I can copy the discussion at the concerned article's talk page to here? So that in the future the users you mentioned may have more context. Again, all the best!

14:52:17, 18 April 2018 review of submission by 27.33.194.225


Dear Sshibum, This is Xiaobo who is a creator of the term "ASCE-ASME_Journal_of_Risk_and_Uncertainty_in_Engineering_Systems_Part_A:_Civil_Engineering;_Part_B:_Mechanical_Engineering". Firstly thank you so much for taking time to review the term and also thank you so much for all the valuable suggestions. In order to properly modify the term and make it publish, I just wanna double confirm with you about the reason of declining -- is it declined only because of a lack of references and citations? Is there anything else we need to further modify? Or in other words, if we find out more references to support the term, will it be able to be published? Thank you so much again for your kind help and suggestions. Best regards, Xiaobo Qu 27.33.194.225 (talk) 14:52, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.11 25 May 2018

Hello SshibumXZ, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!
Notability
General notability guideline
Subject-specific guidelines
See also

ACTRIAL:

  • WP:ACREQ has been implemented. The flow at the feed has dropped back to the levels during the trial. However, the backlog is on the rise again so please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day; a backlog approaching 5,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.

Deletion tags

  • Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders. They require your further verification.

Backlog drive:

  • A backlog drive will take place from 10 through 20 June. Check out our talk page at WT:NPR for more details. NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

Editathons

  • There will be a large increase in the number of editathons in June. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.

Paid editing - new policy

  • Now that ACTRIAL is ACREQ, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. There is a new global WMF policy that requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines

  • The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
  • Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies.

Not English

  • A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, tag as required, then move to draft if they do have potential.

News

  • Development is underway by the WMF on upgrades to the New Pages Feed, in particular ORES features that will help to identify COPYVIOs, and more granular options for selecting articles to review.
  • The next issue of The Signpost has been published. The newspaper is one of the best ways to stay up to date with news and new developments. between our newsletters.

June 2018 GOCE newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors June 2018 News

Welcome to the June 2018 GOCE newsletter, in which you will find Guild updates since the February edition. Progress continues to be made on the copyediting backlog, which has been reduced to 7 months and reached a new all-time low. Requests continue to be handled efficiently this year, with 272 completed by the end of May (an average completion time of 10.5 days). Fewer than 10% of these waited longer than 20 days, and the longest wait time was 29 days.

Wikipedia in general, and the Guild in particular, experienced a deep loss with the death on 20 March of Corinne. Corinne (a GOCE coordinator since 1 July 2016) was a tireless aide on the requests page, and her peerless copyediting is a part of innumerable GAs and FAs. Her good cheer, courtesy and tact are very much missed.

March drive: The goal was to remove June, July and August 2017 from our backlog and all February 2018 Requests (a total of 219 articles). This drive was an outstanding success, and by the end of the month all but eight of these articles were cleared. Of the 33 editors who signed up, 19 recorded 277 copy edits (425,758 words).

April blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 15 through 21 April, focusing on Requests and the last eight articles tagged in August 2017. At the end of the week there were only 17 pending requests, with none older than 17 days. Of the nine editors who signed up, eight editors completed 22 copy edits (62,412 words).

May drive: We set out to remove September, October and November 2017 from our backlog and all April 2018 Requests (a total of 298 articles). There was great success this month with the backlog more than halved from 1,449 articles at the beginning of the month to a record low of 716 articles. Officially, of the 20 who signed up, 15 editors recorded 151 copy edits (248,813 words).

Coordinator elections: It's election time again. Nominations for Guild coordinators (who will serve a six-month term for the second half of 2018) have begun, and will close at 23:59 UTC on 15 June. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are eligible, and self-nominations are encouraged. Voting will take place between 00:01 UTC on 16 June and 23:59 UTC on 30 June.

June blitz: Stay tuned for this one-week copy-editing blitz, which will take place in mid-June.

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

Title of the page

Hello, SshibumXZ! I have seen that you have redirected the page Fifteenth Finance Commission to Fifteenth Finance Commission of India, The commissions are officially titled just "First/Second/..... Finance Commission" not First/Second Finance Commission of India, like Finance Commission (not of India) by the Government of India.[1] The titles are precise enough to unambiguously define the topical scope of the article and no disambiguation needed as per naming conventions of Wikipedia article titles. regards, DRAGON BOOSTER ★ 04:03, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

Also you moved Finance Commission to Finance commission, it is most definitely a proper noun, refer the official website of Finance Commission. It is a commission established to deal with the finances of country called "Finance Commission" (Commission on Finance), just like a city in New York state called New York City/City of New York (not New York city). Not to mention other cases such as Union Public Service Commission, Planning Commission, Indian Administrative Service, regards, DRAGON BOOSTER ★ 04:55, 9 June 2018 (UTC).
@DRAGON BOOSTER: hi! I redirected Fifteenth Finance Commission to Fifteenth Finance Commission of India] to follow some sort of a Wikipedia precedent, I had created the latter and titled it in accordance with what seemed to be a Wikipedia precedent, with articles for previous FCs being titled similarly.
Second, the lowercase thing was my fault, I am sorry for that, of course, Finance Commission is a proper noun.
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 19:43, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
Hi! SshibumXZ, Thank-you for the reply, Don't worry! I have now moved the pages to their official titles as per Wikipedia article titles. I just wanted to run it by you before I move them. I'm not sure if the Cabinet Secretary is also a proper noun or not. regards, DRAGON BOOSTER ★ 09:00, 10 June 2018 (UTC).

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months. (Purge)

Hello SshibumXZ, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

June backlog drive

Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

New technology, new rules
  • New features are shortly going to be added to the Special:NewPagesFeed which include a list of drafts for review, OTRS flags for COPYVIO, and more granular filter preferences. More details can be found at this page.
  • Probationary permissions: Now that PERM has been configured to allow expiry dates to all minor user rights, new NPR flag holders may sometimes be limited in the first instance to 6 months during which their work will be assessed for both quality and quantity of their reviews. This will allow admins to accord the right in borderline cases rather than make a flat out rejection.
  • Current reviewers who have had the flag for longer than 6 months but have not used the permissions since they were granted will have the flag removed, but may still request to have it granted again in the future, subject to the same probationary period, if they wish to become an active reviewer.
Editathons
  • Editathons will continue through August. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.
The Signpost
  • The next issue of the monthly magazine will be out soon. The newspaper is an excellent way to stay up to date with news and new developments between our newsletters. If you have special messages to be published, or if you would like to submit an article (one about NPR perhaps?), don't hesitate to contact the editorial team here.

Please indicate your support at the Commons discussion page here to show 'crats at Commons that there is enough support for this. The first task will be to create a list of politicians frequently featured in PIB photos such as union ministers, governors etc. and create categories for them. I have created a user page under the bot account for this. Once the bot finishes uploading all the images (at least a month from now), we can use semi-automated tools to scan the captions for names and apply the corresponding categories. —Gazoth (talk) 20:30, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Constitution of India copyedit

@Miniapolis: thanks! The only issue that I can see after quickly skimming through the article is that the term 'money bill' shouldn't have been replaced with 'fiscal bill' as the former is a parliamentary term for budget and other fiscal bills, that is not something that is widespread in knowledge, though; so, it's understandable and no bigge.
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 21:15, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
Also, can you take a cursory look at Fifteenth Finance Commission. It's an article that I created this January and may very well be nominated for GA by me.
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 21:15, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
Sorry for the replacement; I'm not familiar enough with Indian English. Please list Fifteenth Finance Commission at WP:GOCE/REQ; I don't accept "on-call" copyedit requests for the sake of my sanity :-). All the best, Miniapolis 22:35, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
@Miniapolis: yeah, that's common in most Westminster system-following parliamentary democracies. As for the c/e thingy, there's a reason I used the word 'cursory', that wasn't a full-fledged GOCE request, I don't know how you inferred that it was one, I am sorry for misleading you, of course you are not my servant and have no obligation to do on "'on-call' copyedit requests".

The Troop (Novel)

What is left when I removed the copyrighted material is a single unsourced (albeit true) award. I think it's a very weak claim that this is better of revdeled then TNT'ed. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 04:32, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

@Barkeep49: I guess it doesn't matter now that the page has been deleted, but my argument was pretty much based around Wikipedia's rules and policies; removal of copyvio meant that the article wasn't eligible to be speedily deleted by an admin and revdel would've been the better to approach this stuff; hence, I recommended you to PROD/AfD the article if you thought it didn't qualify/meet WP:GNG or WP:NBOOKS. Again, now that the article has been speedily deleted, this disussion doesn't have much gravité.
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 18:40, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply, but I have a different basis of policy for my actions. My argument, which seems to have been agreed to by the deleting admin (despite my not reinstating the G12 tag you declined) was that it was eligible for |CSD "where there is no non-infringing content on the page worth saving." The one sentence which remained of an having received an award (of questionable notability) stuck me as not worth saving and thus still G12 eligible. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 18:46, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
@Barkeep49: you are absolutely correct and I may have been wrong then, sorry for that!

refimprove tag on 2018 Sultan of Johor Cup

Hi. I think the source provided is enough to be reliable. FIH is the official sport federation for field hockey, and the website cited, (tms.fih.ch) is their official tournament results page.

Bromalayan (talk) 06:08, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

@Bromalayan: hi! Yes, whilst you are correct that the two references cited are reliable, they're also self-published by the FIH, hence, in my opinion, the article needs more references. Notwitstanding that, you're free to remove the tag if you feel that the article contains enough references from reliable sources. Have a good day!
Regards, SshibumXZ (Talk) (Contributions). 10:08, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
I prefer the third party tag for this type of sourcing issue, as it gets the point across a bit better. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 23:54, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Supreme Court of India

You have reverted my edit by restoring the article to Category:Constitutional courts. I disagree with your reasoning that the SCI is a purely constitutional court. In the section on Supreme Court of India#Roster system, there is a link to an NDTV article, which says:

As can be seen, the SCI deals with a full range of cases rather than primarily constitutional law decisions, which is the defining feature for classifying a court as a specialist constitutional court. I hope you can see that the article is appropriate for the wider Category:Supreme courts but should not be in the narrower Category:Constitutional courts. Thank you. 2A02:C7D:3C1A:7300:7487:F8AC:5AB5:995A (talk) 19:53, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

2A02:C7D:3C1A:7300:7487:F8AC:5AB5:995A (talk · contribs · WHOIS) Shit! Sorry forgot about this! So, regardless of what you think, the Supreme Court of India is both the supreme court in India and a constitutional court. Category:Constitutional courts and Category:Supreme courts are mutually exclusive, as, some national supreme courts aren’t constitutional courts (Spain), so having the SCI categorised as both a constitutional court and a supreme court isn’t that wrong.

DYK nomination for Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister of India

I completed a review at Template:Did you know nominations/Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister of India, and posted a question for you there. Please respond there when you can, thank you. Flibirigit (talk) 18:17, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

@Flibirigit:  Done: Check the DYK nomination page.
Regards, SshibumXZ (talk · contribs). 19:53, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
Please see new note on your DYK nomination.
BTW, if you misspell something in the original template, please don't do a redirect. The error can be easily fixed on the template itself. In future, you could ask for assistance at WT:DYK. Now I have to figure out why the redirect is not accessible from the Approved page. Yoninah (talk) 01:26, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
@Yoninah: duly noted, will not redirect any misspelling on a DYK nomination template henceforth. Also, I can see why you thought that Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister of India had one too many em dashes and I apologise for that, however, I do have one question for you, as part of your copyediting of the article, you capitalised the words 'prime minister', MOS:JOBTITLES—from what I can infer—advises against that, but as you are a professional editor and a Wikipedian with a great deal of experience (and community trust), what do you opine?
Regards, SshibumXZ (talk · contribs). 11:06, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
You seemed to be capitalizing it in other places, so I was just trying to make it consistent. It's capitalized in the page name, too. In this case, I think it's fine. Yoninah (talk) 11:38, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
@Yoninah: I capitalised 'prime minister' only when talking about the principal secretary's full title (Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister of India) or when titling the designation of the Indian prime minister in full (Prime Minister of India), in other places I minisculised the words 'prime minister', to each his/her own, though, as MOS:JOBTITLES is not very clear.

Talk

Hello @SshibumXZ: , could you help review these article and give direction where I need be Joseph C. Kalimbwe and Mast Newspaper and Persecuted in Search of Change. They Daniel kabombo (talk) 19:09, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

@Daniel kabombo:  Done: I have reviewed the one article which hadn't been reviewed when I started reviewing the three articles you mentioned.
However the aforementioned articles may have some issues: Joseph C. Kalimbwe contains only self-published sources, Mast Newspaper seemed to be 'The Mast', so, I moved it, feel free to tell me if that isn't correct and Persecuted in Search of Change contains a reference to Amazon.com, that has to be removed, per WP:Amazon, but, other than that, the articles seem to be good.
Regards, SshibumXZ (talk · contribs). 00:03, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
@SshibumXZ: Thank you, I have also addressed the sources issue you left with Joseph C. Kalimbwe a short while back too for review. Daniel kabombo (talk) 00:11, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
@Daniel kabombo: yeah issues with Joseph C. Kalimbwe seem to be fixed now.
Regards, SshibumXZ (talk · contribs). 01:37, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
Thasks for the direction @SshibumXZ:. Could it then be reviewed after the fix in kind. Daniel kabombo (talk) 03:50, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

iPhone XS

Hi, you marked iPhone XS patrolled when the article mainly consisted of a large infobox pasted from another article with inaccurate information. This is a problem because (a) it's incorrect and (b) there was no attribution to the article it was taken from. Please be aware of this when checking new articles. Natureium (talk) 19:15, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

@Natureium: yeah, I kind of figured that the creator would fix the infobox and other references later, but, yeah, the lack of {{copied}} on the article's talk page for attribution is way more concerning and I should have checked for the tag on the article's talk page. Apologies for reviewing iPhone XS incorrectly.
