Jimmy

[edit]

What did u mean by your revert about Jimmy's sincerity being unclear? I didn't understand it :) Stephanie921 (talk) 02:21, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I meant it as in, within the show it isn't 100% clear if Jimmy is being sincere or not when he says he was jealous about Chuck's affection for Howard and that he could've been nicer to him. A possible interpretation (which I am personally inclined to) is that he does genuinely feel this way on some level after what happened to Howard. Wasianpower (talk) 15:39, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wow

Just read through your page on Ronald Reagan and AIDS and it was excellent. I added other edits to the page as soon as I was finished. I looked at some of your other articles and they are thorough, well written, and overall fantastic articles. Seems like I wasn't the only one that thought so either given the fact someone ALSO added a positive message here about that page specifically. Keep up the good work.

Wow ... Incredible work, thank you so much, brilliant research. I was writing an article on his Potomac speech on AIDS last year before getting waylaid. No Swan So Fine (talk) 16:24, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Much thanks

[edit]

I want to thank you so much for creating this magnificent article on Ronald Reagan and AIDS. I've been doing little bits of work for years on the main article concerning this key topic, but if we are being frank there is a pervading cult of personality around the subject of that article that creates stifling groupthink and severe lapses of WP:NPOV that makes it hard to work on that article. I commend you for working so hard to create this well-written and sourced article. Jaydenwithay (talk) 06:15, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I've experienced some of that myself, to be honest it's the main thing that makes me anxious about trying to nominate the article for GA status. 🌸wasianpower🌸 (talkcontribs) 14:11, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your NPP Review of Maddi Wilde

[edit]

Hey there, Wasianpower! As part of the September 2024 NPP Backlog drive re-review process, I wanted to let you know that I have nominated an article you patrolled, Maddi Wilde, for deletion. The reason for this is that I was unable to find enough coverage from third-party sources to meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTCRIT. No action is needed on your part, but feel free to let me know if you have any questions. Good luck on the rest of the drive and thanks for all you do!

asking your advice on procedure

[edit]

Hi Wasianpower, I'm asking your advice on a discussion you participated in regarding deletion of the GlowCode page. I see that you're the only one of the 4 editors who participated in the discussion who was helpful in the past, and didn't have multiple controversies on their talk page. Here is the background: I created the GlowCode page in 2011. Very early on, the topic was improved for notability and other standards, and remained an active page for more than 12 years. There were a number of reliable source citations. But this September 25, the article was nominated for deletion on the grounds of notability. (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/GlowCode - Wikipedia). Within barely a week, the article was deleted Oct 2 by editor 181.197.42.215 who was very shortly later was blocked for a month for "(Abusing multiple accounts: Please see: w:en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Alon9393)" Question: since the GlowCode page is already deleted, under a seemingly inappropriate time frame and process, what is the process for reinstating the page? Thank you very much. esigcEsigc (talk) 18:41, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Esigc! Thank you for reaching out, I'd be happy to help. First up, just want to clarify a few things:
  • The IP editor you mention who received a month sockpuppet ban was not the one who deleted the article, that is done by the administrator who closes the AFD (in this case User:OwenX). With a few exceptions, AFDs are closed and the deciding action performed exclusively by admins. That IP editor was just the last to !vote on the AFD.
  • Neither of your pages is fully deleted, they've just been redirected to List of performance analysis tools, as you can see by clicking these links: Electric Software, Inc., GlowCode.
  • The time frame and process for the AFD are fairly standard, though it's unfortunate that it was fast enough you didn't get a chance to participate in the discussions.
If you'd like to work to recreate these articles, I would start by reading WP:AFTERDELETE, it has some good steps you can take and more information to understand what happened. The main reason these two articles were deleted was because of notability concerns, if you are going to recreate them I'd start by finding sources to establish that they meet the general notability guideline (GNG). Editors at AFD worked to try to find sources that would indicate these articles met this standard but were unable to find anything, however you might have better luck! Keep in mind that to meet GNG you must have two sources which discuss the topic in depth, and are secondary and independent from its subject. If you're unsure if a source can help meet GNG, you can feel free to ask me here or drop a question over at WP:HELPDESK! Since neither article was fully deleted, you can also still see what they looked like pre-deletion by looking at the articles' histories, and use that as a basis for recreating them after you find sources to establish notability.
Before you do any of that however, you must declare your WP:Conflict of interest. Conflict of interest editing is generally discouraged, although not outright banned, but what *is* required is that at a minimum you must declare your conflict of interest. In your case it seems you have a connection to Electric Software; see WP:DISCLOSE for more information on how to do that!
I know how bad it must feel to see a page you worked hard on be deleted, and I'm very sorry for that and I hope it doesn't deter you from continuing to edit in the future! 🌸⁠wasianpower⁠🌸 (talk • contribs) 19:14, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Wasianpower. Thank you for your detailed assistance. I will proceed step by step, and would like to start with the GlowCode article. I don't see how to put a connected contributer note on the GlowCode talk page, because I don't understand how to access its talk page since it was deleted. I have worked on GlowCode software. I am not a paid editor; I'm not being paid for contributions to Wikipedia. Please advise. Thanks again.Esigc (talk) 13:23, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you click on a redirect link (like GlowCode), it take you to the redirected page but at the top there will be a message that say Redirected from .... If you click the link that it says it was redirected from, it will take you to the redirect page, which will have the talk page and history from the article. Here is a link which will take you to the same place that process would! 🌸⁠wasianpower⁠🌸 (talk • contribs) 14:54, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks!
1. I'm trying to add the COI, but I'm still confused as to how. I found the GlowCode Talk page. On it, should I "Click here to add a new topic" and then enter a topic which consists of my COI?
2. And then where would I enter the links I found to substantiate GlowCode notability?
Thanks again! Esigc (talk) 19:56, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
1. You should click "edit source" on the talk page and then add the template to the top.
2. I would start by going to the last revision before the page got blanked and copying it to your sandbox (User:Esigc/sandbox). From there you can add the sources as if the page were still up and get the page to the state you want it in. Once that's done, feel free to ping me here and I'd be happy to take a look, or you can do the same over at WP:HELPDESK! 🌸⁠wasianpower⁠🌸 (talk • contribs) 20:11, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Wasianpower, I have revised the GlowCode topic in my sandbox. Please take a look User:Esigc/sandbox.
I'd appreciated any suggestions and advice on next steps.
Thank you again. Esigc (talk) 16:37, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Some quick notes:
  • GlowCode is used by software developers to analyze and optimize two main aspects of their application: performance (speed) and resource use. needs a citation
  • in a description of how a team used GlowCode's "automated instrumentation of code ... to quickly identify the major time and scale sensitive components..." quote should be attributed to whoever said it per MOS:QUOTE.
  • Same with the quote in the next paragraph and several other subsequent paragraphs.
  • GlowCode performance profiling is also discussed in books and journal articles such as "Writing Fast Programs" , "Traditional Techniques for Software Fault Localization., and "A Survey of Performance Analysis Tools for OpenMP and MPI . This sentence is not needed, notability is established through simply having the citations that meet a WP:NOTABILITY guideline. They don't need to be listed out or explicitly state that they are there to establish notability, just there somewhere in the article.
  • It is while the profiled application runs that GlowCode shows the duration... -> "While the profiled application runs, GlowCode shows the duration...".
  • Make sure citations always go directly after the last punctuation of the word they're citing. See MOS:PUNCTFOOT for more info. For example, blah blah blah[1]. is incorrect, as is blah blah blah. [2]. It should look like blah blah blah.[3]
Regarding notability, here is a source review for the sources currently in the article:
Source assessment table:
Source Independent? Reliable? Significant coverage? Count source toward GNG?
https://glowcode.com/ No Yes Yes No
https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/4839624 Yes Yes No Does not discuss GlowCode itself, only that it was used in the experiment No
https://class.ece.iastate.edu/cpre583/project_presentations/SLAM_report.pdf Yes Yes No Same as above No
https://books.google.com/books?id=-ahwKkg-OfoC&dq=glowcode&pg=PA238#v=onepage&q=glowcode&f=false Yes Yes No Only one sentence giving a definition of the product. No
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/9781119880929.ch2 Yes Yes ? Can't find a freely accessible version ? Unknown
https://sciresol.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/IJST/Articles/2016/Issue-43/Article54.pdf Yes Yes Yes Yes
https://etd.ohiolink.edu/acprod/odb_etd/ws/send_file/send?accession=case1291093142&disposition=inline Yes No Master's thesis, considered unreliable unless it can be shown to have had scholarly influence. ~ It does discuss GlowCode somewhat, but it is generally not commentary and moreso just an outline of the features. No
https://www.softpedia.com/get/Programming/Other-Programming-Files/GlowCode.shtml No ~ Despite the name, this is not a wiki, though the site itself seems pretty sketchy. Yes No
https://drdobbs.com/architecture-and-design/dr-dobbs-software-tools-newsletter/184405168?queryText=glowcode/ Yes Yes On first pass, this seemed like someone's personal blog, but it's apparently a CS magazine, so this counts. ~ This is borderline -- it reads like a product listing but the fact that they list features they like makes me inclined to say this probably counts as SigCov. ~ Partial
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/msdn-magazine/2011/july/msdn-magazine-toolbox-tools-and-techniques-for-net-code-profiling Yes Yes No Only a brief mention with no commentary. No
https://drdobbs.com/new-products/184416501?queryText=glowcode/ Yes Yes See above ~ Borderline - discusses the product but reads like a product listing. ~ Partial
This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}.
Based on this, I'm inclined to say this now meets GNG. If you could provide me with a link to access this source (or email me a copy), that would be helpful, as one more good GNG source would really help solidify things (since right now you have one solid GNG source and two borderline). Once you fix the above issues, ping me, and then I can give you advice on recreating the page! 🌸⁠wasianpower⁠🌸 (talk • contribs) 03:26, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again, Wasianpower. I have followed your suggestions, rewritten sections to improve the writing, improved citations, and published the revised GlowCode page in my sandbox.
For these 2 sources:
https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/4839624, and
https://class.ece.iastate.edu/cpre583/project_presentations/SLAM_report.pdf
I included more step-by-step details to show exactly how these 2 sources used GlowCode to profile their applications and isolate the significant "performance bottlenecks" in their code. I hope that now I have addressed your "Significant coverage?" concern in your very helpful Source Assessment Table, and that they
meet GNG.
I removed the source for which I haven't found the freely available version which I saw earlier.
I added a new source (Association for Computing Machinery's Proceedings of the First International Workshop on Cloud Computing Platforms) at the end.
Further advice appreciated. Thank you very much again.Esigc (talk) 16:49, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Esigc, I'm just now getting around to taking a look at this. I think it may be a good idea for you to go back to WP:GNG and WP:Notability and really take a look at and make sure you really understand them before we proceed. Notability does not have to do with how a source is used in an article. It is only related to how the source covers the topic of the article. So adding more text explaining how Glowcode was used in the source to the article does not improve notability.
Also, a source does not need to be freely accessible to be used. If you have a copy of it, and can verify its contents, that is okay, I was only asking to get a PDF copy emailed to me so that I could also verify it and see if it contributes to GNG. I'm very glad you found the source assessment table helpful :) I think you're very close on notability (I'd say it is borderline notable in its current state), and one more solid source would definitely get you there. If it's okay with you, I'm also going to go in and make a few copyedits to the article to improve its flow, please feel free to revert them if you don't like the changes I make. 🌸⁠wasianpower⁠🌸 (talk • contribs) 19:51, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
