Sam Brown, activist

Dear editor of Wikipedia entry for Sam Brown, activist. I was a classmate of Sam Brown's at the University of Redlands, and able to confirm that he was the Student Body President for the 1964-65 academic year. I was President of the Senior graduating class that year and still have our 1965 yearbook, "La Letra", containing a photo on page 72 identifying Sam Brown as Student Body (ASUR) Pres., and a photo on page 85 identifying him as a member of the university's Republican Club.

Thank you for reading this and editing the Sam Brown entry to correctly attribute this biographical fact as no longer being based on an unreliable source.

Mike LaFave

Apart from a minor edit I have no connection to the page Sam Brown (activist). You would do better posting at that article's talk page. Tassedethe (talk) 01:36, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Rahul Kumar

The article Rahul Kumar has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Proposed deletion of Viento a favor

The article Viento a favor has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:TWODABS; one article exists, the second is a redirect for lack of notability, WP:PRIMARYTOPIC applies.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 23:43, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dragan Marković

For making article moves which may be controversial, such as Dragan Marković, please use WP:RM. Also, please take note of WP:TWODABS – when only two articles occupy the same title, it is much more reader-friendly (and editor-friendly) not to display the dab page.

Apologies. A redlink was showing for me, I suspected because the sever had not updated it's cache. Reminder to self to click on red link or hover over for a pop up in the future. Thanks for the understanding.—Bagumba (talk) 19:51, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jamie Grant

Hello Tassedethe, I don't agree with the page move you made at Jamie Grant (disambiguation). It's not because there is only one existing article by that name, that it is necessarily a primary topic. I organised a debate, resulting in a guideline on that issue last year: Wikipedia:ONEBLUELINKDAB. In this case, Jamie Grant is a fairly common name, and the footballer doesn't seem that notable to me. So it would be better if you could slide the dab page back to where it was. Helps in cleaning up ambiguous links in future as well. Thanks, --Midas02 (talk) 19:52, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I assume you're referring to this discussion. I wouldn't call that much of a debate, I'm not even sure anyone actually agrees with you. There is certainly no discussion of the large change to the guideline that you made. I'll revert on the basic of WP:BRD but I will open a WP:RM. Tassedethe (talk) 20:02, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redlinks

Hi. Why are you creating redlinks for actors very unlikely to have articles? If you're planning on writing those article, please do so first, and then link them. Thanks. BMK (talk) 01:57, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm converting bluelinks that are wrong to redlinks. If it was not already a link I am not creating them. Reverting my edits is creating incorrect links. Please check your work. Tassedethe (talk) 01:59, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just unlink them, please, without creating new links. Redlinks are reasonable for subjects for whom there is a reasonable possibility that an article might someday be written about them. These actors are not those kind of subjects, they most probably would not survive notability requirements, and therefore should not be redlinked. Please undo the unnecessary redlinks you've created, it's hardly collegial to make other editors undo your mistakes when they're pointed out to you. Thanks. BMK (talk) 03:49, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming of James-Andrew Davis

Hi. I'm unsure as to why you renamed James-Andrew Davis into James Davis (fencer). He is officially known in his field under his complete first name (see his FIE profile) and he himself uses the longer form for his Facebook page. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 08:56, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As in my move comment, I'm following the guidelines at WP:COMMONNAME. Of the 12 references in the article, 11 use the name "James Davis". This includes the BBC, the Telegraph, the Mail, the British Olympic Team page and his local fencing club. To quote from the guidelines:"Wikipedia generally prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable English-language sources)...". WP:OFFICIALNAME outlines why using the common name is preferred to an official name. I hope that clarifies the move. Tassedethe (talk) 15:27, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that English-language sources prefer the shorter form of his name. Conversely, he's known in international competition under the longer form, which is the one used in non-English media, predominant in the field of fencing. Given the number of people who bear the name "James Davis", "James-Andrew Davis" seems more transparent to me than "James Davis (fencer)". Jastrow (Λέγετε) 12:19, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:COMMONNAME specifically refers to English-language sources as those that should be used in assessing a common name. And personally I think "James Davis (fencer)" is clearer than "James-Andrew Davis" but that's just my opinion. If I can't persuade you that the current title is better you are well within your rights to revert my move and move the article back to James-Andrew Davis. See WP:BRD. The onus would then be on me to argue my case at WP:RM. Tassedethe (talk) 00:35, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:The Detective 1968.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:The Detective 1968.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 04:14, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Extended confirmed protection

Hello, Tassedethe. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:

Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
A bot will post a notification at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Christopher Duncan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 removed without delay.

The creator of the 2016 Phillip Island Superbike World Championship round page

I figured I sent you a message about this as you have edited his pages also as well as put up tags-but it seems the guy that has made this page 2016 Phillip Island Superbike World Championship round and other pages like it seems to remove the unreferenced tag and never puts up refs-think he should get a notice about making all these unreferenced pages?

Warning about removing tags is correct. Unfortunately creating the pages in the first place isn't quite as clear cut. If they continue to do it there isn't much you can do (assuming that the pages are not obviously non-notable). There is {{Uw-unsourced0}}, {{Uw-unsourced1}}, etc. but escalating in this situation isn't going to get very far. Tassedethe (talk) 15:32, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A new user right for New Page Patrollers

Hi Tassedethe.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The system is looking for edits on pages of living people (Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons) that may have problems. If you make an edit to the name fields of an infobox that triggers the tag. In most cases there is very little reason to change someone's name. Also if you make an edit which contains a derogatory word then that also triggers the tag. In the second case that is probably the word "prostitute". The edit is clearly about the role not the person but the software cannot differentiate. Happy editing! Tassedethe (talk) 03:09, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation. Can I ask you for a favor that I already tried with somebody else? I have no idea what may the problem the first editor may have with this complicated edit.

Speedy deletion nomination of Action!

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 Action! requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://mirillis.com/en/products/action.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 removed 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. –Dream out loud (talk) 13:38, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Edward Goldberg

The article Edward Goldberg has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Speedy deletion nomination of Elena Nikolaeva (journalist)

Hello Tassedethe,

The murder game 1965

I am searching for this film for a beloved friend … And it's hard to get. You have edited the article about it. Can you send me a copy, please? For sure I can send you some money via PayPal or somehow else. Kind regards Mr. A.

California propositions

Shouldn't those pages be set-index articles instead of dab pages? They seem to be the very definition of a SIA: "a set of items of a specific type that also share the same (or similar) name". — Gorthian (talk) 01:58, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose they could be but I don't see any of the existing pages in that form. SIA aren't as useful as DAB pages as links to them do not show up as 'Disambiguation links needing to be fixed'. In most cases incoming links to such pages intend to point to a specific proposition as most of these propositions are completely unrelated (except that they share a name).

Speedy deletion nomination of Jeremy Page

A tag has been placed on Jeremy Page requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

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 removed without delay.

Talk:David Williams (footballer)

I see you speedied Talk:David Williams (footballer) as wp:G6... why? Andrewa (talk) 23:36, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article points to David Williams but the talk page pointed to Talk:David Williams (footballer, born 1988). No history worth keeping, so delete as housekeeping. Tassedethe (talk) 23:43, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why not redirect to the appropriate talk page? It doesn't seem to meet any of the specific G6 criteria. Andrewa (talk) 00:13, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The specific G6 criteria are examples and not meant to be exclusive. As it says: "This is for uncontroversial maintenance, including:". And I'd argue it was uncontroversial. However if you feel that it somehow serves some purpose I can restore it. Tassedethe (talk) 00:27, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Have a look at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Possible improper use of page move redirect suppression and be warned it's a long and meandering discussion which I've just discovered and am still reading. But yes, it serves a purpose IMO, and I can't see any harm it does that would need cleaning up. Andrewa (talk) 01:15, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Helpful edit

Hello User:Tassedethe, could you make an edit to Maiorana page please? That the name is Norman French in origin, this source Della Calabria illustrata says something like: the name changed from Marogana (or Marogano) to the more easily pronounceable Maiorana (or Maiorano), possibly influenced by folk etymology (page 326). On that page the book also states that the fleur-de-lis in the coat of arms of the family also indicates a Norman origin. I just don't do edits on that scale, because more than likely no one will edit the page for many months, leaving my mistakes (that become Wikipedia's mistakes) on show. You'd just have to change categories to Norman and "Maiorana is an Italian surname" to "Maiorana is a Norman French surname" (Good examples of Norman names are Banister (surname) and Molyneux). Hope you can help, thanks.--Theo Mandela (talk) 19:48, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Craps

I love music and realize you have infinitely more experience here than I. But, do you really think that a link to a stub at the top of a popular article makes sense? Craps literally goes back to the time Paleolithic hominids cast polished knucklebones and painted pebbles against cave walls. Seems a bit out of place. Objective3000 (talk) 00:53, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well there's really no other place for it, and WP:SIMILAR indicates that is where it should go. Every article of "importance" (Life, History, Music etc.) has a hatnote as there are many other articles with the same name. What is surprising is that Craps only has one such article, otherwise Craps (disambiguation) would be there instead. Tassedethe (talk) 01:17, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, this makes no sense to me. Are more than one in a million users typing Craps looking for a stub article. If there were a disambiguation page, I'm not sure a stub would rate that; albeit that would be closer. In my mind, the first link to a stub should be from an article related in some manner. And if no such article can be found, should the stub remain, or be AfDed? Objective3000 (talk) 01:36, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Moving

The Daily Telegraph (Australia) really ought to be moved to The Daily Telegraph (Sydney) but has maybe thousands of links that would have to be changed.

I'm interested that you recently added a tag to this article. Would you mind telling me how you justified that action? I mean your grounds, then perhaps I can fix it for you. Eddaido (talk) 23:56, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I slightly modified the existing tag which was added in June. It was mistakenly classified as a BLP (Biography of a Living Person), clearly an error as he died over 100 years ago! I'm not sure that the tag is needed. If I had tagged it I would perhaps have used {{One source}} which is more appropriate. That template explains why one source might be a problem. But really an article sourced to the Oxford DNB would be low on the list of articles that need attention. Tassedethe (talk) 00:03, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Terry Rogers

A tag has been placed on Terry Rogers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

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.

Proposed deletion of Bruce Guthrie (disambiguation)

The article Bruce Guthrie (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Disambiguation page not needed per WP:TWODABS.

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.

Which one should be zapped?

I noted your edits to Blue (Bill Mack song)‎ and Lee Ann Rimes which triggered off something in my memory bank. So I had a look and see we have identical articles, Bill Mack (singer) and Bill Mack (songwriter), so one needs to go. Perhaps as he is best known for writing Blue, maybe the latter should be retained. Comment? Moriori (talk) 21:35, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bill Mack (singer) is a redirect to Bill Mack (songwriter). I moved the article to Bill Mack (singer) but as I was fixing links it became clear that he was more notable as a songwriter, as you note, so I moved it again. Tassedethe (talk) 01:52, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I get that, but do we really need to host two identical articles? Redirect from the name? Moriori (talk) 01:57, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you click on the link Bill Mack (singer) then you will end up at Bill Mack (songwriter), it's a redirect, see WP:REDIRECTS. There is only one article, at Bill Mack (songwriter). Many articles have redirects, e.g. Elvis redirects to Elvis Presley. Tassedethe (talk) 02:02, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
