Draft:Jacaranda Books

[edit]

Hello, Whispering, since the rejection of Draft:Jacaranda Books, I have a found a number of references on the subject. While some of them do not meet all the criteria mentioned in the rejection box, I'd nevertheless like to think that there's now enough published/ reliable/ secondary and independent sources to sufficiently support a consistent 'story' and establish notability of the publisher. Can you advise, please? Yadsalohcin (talk) 13:10, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article moved to draft space

[edit]

Dear reviewer, my article on Michael Berthold (Draft:Michael_Berthold has been moved to the draft sprace because of a lack of sources. It is a translation of the German article on Michael Berthold (see: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Berthold). No sources, besides the one listed under the bulletpoint Literature, was given. I did not notice this until after I had translated the article. What should I do? I did this translation as a part of my studies at the University of Freiburg, Germany.

Deletion policy - help needed

[edit]

Dear Whispering, today you moved my article draft Draft:Bechhofen, Rhineland-Palatinate from my sandbox into the Draft namespace. But my review request was not intended as AfC submission (my fault) but as request for review before extending the existing article. As a consequence, the request was declined together with the recommendation to update the existing article. After updating the article Bechhofen, Rhineland-Palatinate, I would now get rid of the draft. I have read the Wikipedia:Deletion policy guidelines but I am still unsure about the correct procedure in this case. Could you please help me? Thanks in advance, --TeKaBe (talk) 15:43, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@TeKaBe: If you want to delete it you can always blank it then drop a {{g7}} on it which will mark it for a speedy delete. Whispering(t) 15:47, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request to Remove Rejection

[edit]

Hello, The draft Draft: Thalapathy 63 is about an upcoming film that is scheduled to release in October 2019. I noticed you had rejected the article after multiple denials to make it into an article. I request you to reinstate the draft for the following reasons.

1. Other articles about films of the same actor have been published right after the principal photography has started 2. It was not I, the draft creator who resubmitted it to earn your rejection. That was somebody else with an IP address. 3. If you reinstate this as a draft, a few people's hard work will not go to waste, and we don't have to repeat the creation of a new draft.

I understand your concerns that this article is being submitted too many times for a draft review, but I request you to remove the rejection, and I will try everything I can to make sure the draft is not submitted until the proper time, even though I am a newbie (this is my first article) and may require some help on that.

Thanks Athu1 (talk) 07:12, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Athu1:Those films are not under review, drafts are not owned by you or anyone else once you submit them. If you feel so attached to the draft just undo my revision. Whispering(t) 13:17, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

NPR Newsletter No.17

[edit]

Hello Whispering,

News
Discussions of interest
  • Two elements of CSD G6 have been split into their own criteria: R4 for redirects in the "File:" namespace with the same name as a file or redirect at Wikimedia Commons (Discussion), and G14 for disambiguation pages which disambiguate zero pages, or have "(disambiguation)" in the title but disambiguate a single page (Discussion).
  • {{db-blankdraft}} was merged into G13 (Discussion)
  • A discussion recently closed with no consensus on whether to create a subject-specific notability guideline for theatrical plays.
  • There is an ongoing discussion on a proposal to create subject-specific notability guidelines for chemicals and organism taxa.
Reminders
  • NPR is not a binary keep / delete process. In many cases a redirect may be appropriate. The deletion policy and its associated guideline clearly emphasise that not all unsuitable articles must be deleted. Redirects are not contentious. See a classic example of the templates to use. More templates are listed at the R template index. Reviewers who are not aware, do please take this into consideration before PROD, CSD, and especially AfD because not even all admins are aware of such policies, and many NAC do not have a full knowledge of them.
NPP Tools Report
  • Superlinks – allows you to check an article's history, logs, talk page, NPP flowchart (on unpatrolled pages) and more without navigating away from the article itself.
  • copyvio-check – automatically checks the copyvio percentage of new pages in the background and displays this info with a link to the report in the 'info' panel of the Page curation toolbar.
  • The NPP flowchart now has clickable hyperlinks.

[edit]


Hi Whispering, I've been editing Wikipedia in the past (many years ago and only the Finnish pages) and would like to start writing and editing more because I love the service. The first article I wrote was about an interesting Finnish company called Ductor because I realized they don't have a page yet. I have now shortened the article to make it less advertising like and would like to hear your opinion on it. I would also greatly appreciate all hints and advise, since I really want to learn how to write these articles.

Thanks and best regards,

Mikko from Finland

Msiukosa (talk) 14:48, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Msiukosa I gave the draft a once over again. To be entirely honest the sources need a lot of work. The second one is just a profile. And the first is most likely a press release. It doesn't read like an advert anymore which is good, however we are going to need some more substantial sources before it can be published to main space.

Hi, I understand that you've declined my article submission. Could you please share more reasons around this? Thanks! Iokepang (talk) 03:46, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Iokepang Well exactly the reason stated in the box. However, after reading through the sources for the one in your sandbox it looks like you have the same sources on both drafts which were rejected before. I don't see this draft being accepted until the sources get a rework. Whispering(t) 00:08, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the feedback, it was very helpful. Made a number of changes and edits accordingly. Understand the duplicate article is up for speedy deletion. Cheers — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iokepang (talk • contribs) 09:47, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Josh Trank divorce

[edit]

Hi Whispering,

Per my recent edit of Josh Trank's personal info (DIVORCE) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Trank, the source is available through the Los Angeles County Superior Court.

Los Angeles Superior Court's website is lacourt.org.

Case Number: 17SMFL00364

TRANK, JOSHUA VS LINDEN, KRYSTIN VER

Filing Courthouse: Stanley Mosk Courthouse

Filing Date: 10/11/2017

Case Type: Dissolution w/o Minor Children (General Jurisdiction)

How do we source this to the page so that this important biographical information is up to date?

Wastelander55 I threw the case number in the LA Court's case number lookup and it didn't bring up a case. Do you have a exact url for the case? As to how you can site the source there is a cite web template in the wiki editor that can walk you through the cite process. Whispering(t) 00:40, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

NPR Newsletter No.18

[edit]

Hello Whispering,

WMF at work on NPP Improvements

Niharika Kohli, a product manager for the growth team, announced that work is underway in implementing improvements to New Page Patrol as part of the 2019 Community Wishlist and suggests all who are interested watch the project page on meta. Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:

  • Allow filtering by no citations in page curation
  • Not having CSD and PRODs automatically marked as reviewed, reflecting current consensus among reviewers and current Twinkle functionality.
Reliable Sources for NPP

Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.

Backlog drive coming soon

Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Mukesh Sharma (Businessman)

[edit]

Hello, Whispering,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Bensci54 and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged an article that you started, Mukesh Sharma (Businessman) for deletion, because it seems to be an article that has been already decided by a [decision] to be unsuitable for inclusion.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Bensci54}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019

[edit]

Hello Whispering,

WMF at work on NPP Improvements

More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.

QUALITY of REVIEWING

Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.

Backlog

The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.

Move to draft

NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.

Notifying users

Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.

PERM

Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.

Other news

School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.

Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

Request on 23:40:58, 2 July 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Jetfloatsam

[edit]


Hi, Jacob Brown may be a low-profile historical figure, but he is the namesake for Brownsville, Texas, and I think that in itself is worthy of a Wikipedia page. Information about him online is scanty and would require research at university libraries, likely from obscure, out-of-print texts. The Wikipedia page for Brownsville mistakenly linked to another Jacob Brown who died in 1828. I will, in time, find more secondary sources on Jacob Brown, but in the meantime, I would like the Brownsville Wikipedia page to link to the correct Jacob Brown. Thanks

Edit, July 20: Never mind. Another user created a page for Jacob Brown.

Nomination of Pinky Campbell for deletion

[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Pinky Campbell is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pinky Campbell until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. DGG ( talk ) 06:08, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

KLayout draft

[edit]

Hello Whispering,

Thanks for reviewing the KLayout draft at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:KLayout ! As requested, I added a number of links, including some of major universities who publish online recommendations on installation and usage of KLayout.

KLayout is used possibly even more often than the industry-standard Cadence when it comes to visualize CMOS layouts, hence it is hard to believe that it does not have yet an entry on Wikipedia. In fact, it is difficult to find people doing IC design who have not heard of it.

I hope the article is now ready to be published. Otherwise, I would appreciate some more detailed feedback on how to improve it. Thanks! Lapislaz (talk) 14:23, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jimmie Van Zant

[edit]

The reason I suggested this is because you have a gap on the wikipedia [Van Zant ] page that says that he took up music after the death of his cousin in 1977 and his timeline skips to 1996. Quite a significant gap in time wouldn't you agree? What was he doing before that? If the lead singer of this band is "sufficiently notable" for a wikipedia page, why would the band not be? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bcs2010 (talk • contribs) 21:02, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bcs2010 The problem is your source consists of a blog which are not considered to be reliable sources. Furthermore, the draft is so small you could just add it as a mention on the main article if you could find a reliable source to do so. Whispering(t) 21:43, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I had pictured it as more of a mention on the jimmie van zant page but didn't know how to do that. I'm pretty new to this:) There are videos of them playing on youtube but it said that is blacklisted as a source? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bcs2010 (talk • contribs) 21:56, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Bcs2010 I'm just going by the notability guideline for inclusion in Wikipedia,
  1. Has been the 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.
  2. Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart.
  3. Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country.
  4. Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country.
  5. Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable).

There's more but you get the gist like I said you can read it over on notability guideline. Whispering(t) 22:36, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of page due to copyright infringment: User friendly Comprehensive Antibiotic resistance Repository of Escherichia coli (u-CARE)

[edit]

Dear Reviewer,

I am Saurav B. Saha from India. We in our lab have developed a database i.e., User friendly Comprehensive Antibiotic resistance Repository of Escherichia coli (u-CARE) consisting of antibiotic resistance genes in E. coli. The work was published in the Journal of Clinical Pathology (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25935546). The work is of importance to clinicians and researchers for better understanding of the resistance mechanism in E. coli.

Just like other similar databases, I also created a wiki page with user id: SauravSaha.AMR on wiki sandbox and submitted it for review. But the content was deleted on 9:19, 11 July 2019 (UTC) due to copyright infringement (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:SauravSaha.AMR).

Firstly I would like to thank you for taking time out from your busy schedule to review the article. Now I would like to know whether I can resubmit the article with different restructured words or publishing in a journal will refrain me to write an article about our developed database?

Any help will be highly appreciated. Soliciting your kind help.

Hi, thank you for your comments which I note and will attempt to remedy. I note that my draft has been deleted though I have a backup. I appreciate that the Early Career section was much the same as SonicBids and as it is my first attempt at a Wikipedia article I will re-write this. A lot of Hayley Griffiths early career is naturally factual so if I resubmit this keeping the same chronology, but using my own words, and removing a few things, presumably this will be acceptable and I assume that there was no issue with the rest of the article.

I was attempting to clarify the nature of Augustine's allusion to this scene which was meant to illustrate the potential "corrupting influence" that it could have on school children. The full English translation of the section is as follows,

"Hence the young profligate in Terence, when he sees on the wall a fresco representing the fabled descent of Jupiter into the lap of Danaë in the form of a golden shower, accepts this as authoritative precedent for his own licentiousness, and boasts that he is an imitator of God. And what God? he says. He who with His thunder shakes the loftiest temples. And was I, a poor creature compared to Him, to make bones of it? No; I did it, and with all my heart." (City of God)

This is a substantial comment by Augustine because he is specifically condemning Terence on the grounds his work is likely to corrupt morality, whereas later writers, specifically Erasmus in his "De Ratione Studii" specifically proscribes Terence for the study of school-children. The English translation of his comments are as follows:

"Again, among Latin writers who is more valuable as a standard of language than Terence? He is pure, concise, and closest to everyday speech and then, by the very nature of his subject-matter, is also congenial to the young." (This is from the University of Toronto 1978 edition).

According to T.W. Baldwin's "Small Latine & Lesse Greeke" (1944, University of Illinois Press) the Erasmian prescription for Terence helped to ensure his status as one of the primary authors from which Elizabethan school-children were to learn Latin (Volume 1. pages 118-164). For Augustine to condemn Terence so strongly in City of God, whereas Erasmus specifically praised Terence is noteworthy and in my humble opinion the specific nature of Augustine's allusion is certainly worthy of being included in the Wiki on grounds of how deeply constructive it actually is for further scholarly inquiry. This is especially true in light of the demonstrated scholarly tradition that emerges out of recommending or condemning Terence.

I hope I have made a case for why clarifying the nature of Augustine's allusion to this play is constructive and merits inclusion. Would you be open to me adding this clarifying comment back? If not, would you be able to clarify what specifically you find to be "not constructive?"

Cheers.

AlasPoorYorick1603 I've reverted my changes, although to prevent further misunderstandings you should always cite your sources. Whispering(t) 15:37, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

[edit]

Hope everything is fine. This is regarding the Draft:GrabOn. Please review the page once again and help publish it. It is not an advertisement. I feel it is useful to users. The rejection makes me feel like a newspaper refusing to publish an article. May I request you to consider the page on merits. Or else suggest me how to make necessary corrections. Thank you Regards.

Jayanagas It most certainly is an ad for GrabOn I just put it up for speedy deletion. At this point your best bet if you really think Wikipedia needs an article for GrabOn is to just start over from scratch. Whispering(t) 14:28, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]



Edbmarsh (talk) 13:10, 14 August 2019 (UTC) Hello there - I received notice of your rejection of the intentdata.io company page. There is substantial content on the page and one section (bios) which included information from another site. I didn't understand that the policy included "this includes material that you own the copyright to." Since I own the cite, identified the possible CoF, and the page was about the company, it seemed reasonable. I understand with teh policy clarification that it is not.[reply]

Here's my request - please just restore the draft with the bios section deleted. That was the specific concern and there is substantial work in the rest of it.

Thank you

List of Marvel Comics publications (J–R)

[edit]

Hey, I already explained this to CASSIOPEIA, who did this same thing you did. You deleted and moved my article List of Marvel Comics publications (J–R) to draft space. I didn't so much create this article, as split it off from two existing articles, List of Marvel Comics publications (A-M), and List of Marvel Comics publications (N-Z). I split those two previous articles into three because they were getting too long and unwieldy. These are the other two, new associated articles:

List of Marvel Comics publications (A–I)

List of Marvel Comics publications (S–Z)

I simply re-titled/moved those pages, so they still contain the history for (A-M) and (N-Z), where you can see the info I got for the (J-R) page. I literally just copied and pasted it.

I didn't add or remove any info to/from the article. You deleted it because it didn't contain enough sources/references, but it didn't contain any sources/references when it was a part of those two previous lists.

Can you please restore the List of Marvel Comics publications (J–R) that you deleted, since the other two parts of the list don't make sense without the middle part of the list. Either all three articles need to be deleted, or all three need to be left alone, 'cause just deleting the one doesn't make any sense. Wilkinswontkins (talk) 14:47, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wilkinswontkins Drafts need references to be published to mainspace. Having a redlink while you work on sourcing the draft does't hurt anything. Whispering(t) 15:48, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This is silly.. it's just a list of the comics published by Marvel that include those letters... having a redlink for half of the letters is ridiculous. The sources are all in the external links section.Spanneraol (talk) 15:55, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Spanneraol Verifiability is one of the core guidelines here at Wikipedia. Your references at the end of the article are all lists and look to be written by fans which would be original research. We need several secondary sources for inclusion on Wikipedia for example a book about the subject or a magazine article. Whispering(t) 16:13, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Those are official sources.. not fan written and yes they are lists which is what this is. The Grand Comics Database is the best source for this type of info. The sourcing requirements for lists are less than those of articles. There are many of these list of titles articles and this one is no less sourced than any of those others. You are mis-applying policy here. Spanneraol (talk) 16:24, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Spanneraol No, the GCD is updated through user contributions which falls afoul of the Verifiability guideline. It's the same reason we cannot reference the Internet Movie Database or even Wikipedia itself. Whispering(t) 16:40, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What would be an acceptable secondary source for comic book titles, then? Are we allowed to use comic book store pages, like mycomicshop.com? edit: Looking at the WP:AFFILIATE policy, it appears that store pages would be allowed as citations for titles. Can you please confirm, before I get started adding the references? Wilkinswontkins (talk) 16:48, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I do disagree with whispering about the verifiability of the GCD which is very accurate... and there is no reason for him to have moved the article to draft space.. leaving a giant gap in the list.. instead of just tagging the article to begin with. There are very few official online sources if he is disallowing these... I would think you could use the mycomicshop site but it's not as complete... the only other option is an offline source like the Overstreet guides which are harder to verify if you don't actually have one. Spanneraol (talk) 18:48, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Wilkinswontkins and Spanneraol:, Greetings. Wikinswontkins wrote to me on my talk page regarding the same matter at hand. I choice to respond here to keep the discussion in one space place. Pls note all three list article are in draft space - you can find them here - Draft:List of Marvel Comics publications (A–I), Draft:List of Marvel Comics publications (J–R), and Draft:List of Marvel Comics publications (S–Z). Do note (1) stand alone list article do need independent, reliable sources just like any other article - please see WP:STAND. (2), for stand alone list article, "group sources" are acceptable. (3) sources can be in any language in digital or print. You don't need to provide all listed item with inline citations (sources), but as many as you would find. (4) Since there are some listed item do have article in Wikipedia, it means it is not hard to find independent reliable sources. (5) Anyone can work on the draft articles, one it is done (providing inline citation - you can create additional column and insert the sources there). see List of mayors, lord mayors and administrators of Sydney, List of states with nuclear weapons and List of current UFC fighters for example. You can submit for review, and if you want me to review them, ping me. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 05:18, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, CASSIOPEIA. Can you please answer my question on whether mycomicshop.com (or any other comic book store website) is an appropriate source for the lists? I'm going by the WP:AFFILIATE policy that it should be, but I would just like confirmation that it is, before I go to all the work of adding thousands of sources. I don't want to do all that work only to have the lists end up getting rejected for using that source. Thanks.Wilkinswontkins (talk) 11:51, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Wilkinswontkins: Greetings. If the sources directly associated with the subject than it would considered not independent and it would place in the External link section (limit to 2 please - see WP:ELMIN). For sources that write about the particular field/discipline and not association with the subject then it is independent sources. If you look at Draft:List of Marvel Comics publications (A–I), you would find source on for A-Force on A-Force - see here. Vendor and e-commerce sources is to to verify the (existing) /title/running time of the subject. Do provide significant coverage independent sources that would meet the guidelines first then you could pls the rest with WP:AFFILIATE. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 12:24, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, sorry, I forgot to mention that I am only using mycomicshop as a reference for the title/issue numbers/release dates, since that's all that the list is. Just to verify that the title exists, basically. There's no other information provided on the titles in the list, so there should be no need to seek out any other sources. So, mycomicshop should be fine as a reference strictly for the title, under the WP:AFFILIATE policy, right, since no other information is needed? For the A-Force example you gave, all of the detailed information is already provided on the existing Wikipedia article page for that title, not the list, so there should be no need to seek out more detailed sources, strictly for the purposes of including it in the list of titles. Wilkinswontkins (talk) 13:22, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There is absolutely no reason for you to move these articles to draft space. You could easily just tag them with the verifiability tag and allow them to be worked on in main space... which is what happens most of the time. The articles are not new.. they have been around for many years so your actions are improper. Spanneraol (talk) 13:11, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Wilkinswontkins and Spanneraol: Perhaps we should of just taken them to articles for deletion which you are supposed to do with articles that cannot be verified. This way they can be worked on and you don't have to start all over again. And no the GCD is updated by user contributions just like the Internet Movie Database and thus inherently unverifiable so we cannot use it as a source. Whispering(t) 13:54, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, Whispering, I have no issues adding the references to the lists. Just trying to gather as much information as possible before I start in on the work, to make sure I do it properly. Wilkinswontkins (talk) 14:06, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Whispering, that is nonsense.. You can tag something with a verify tag and let people improve it.. that is what is usually done.. the arbitrary decision to take it offline is simply not what is normally done. And clearly the subject is notable so AFD would be improper.. you are just trying to throw your weight around rather than following precedence. Spanneraol (talk) 15:15, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Spanneraol, may I respectfully ask you to please stay out of this? I have no problem adding the references to the lists. You're going to end up getting the lists deleted outright by arguing with him, and I'd rather not have that happen, especially as I've just spent the last month-plus working on improving the lists. Thank you. Wilkinswontkins (talk) 15:19, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 17:38:42, 3 September 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by BrainFitness

[edit]


Dear Whispering, thanks for taking time to review the CogniFit page I wrote. I am happy to comply and I am looking for assistance to know if I should delete complete sections:

  • I am researcher in neuroscience and was motivated to write this article because of the controversy about digital brain fitness. There are only 2 companies (CogniFit and Posit Science, but Posit Science already has a Wikipedia page) in the world that have been deemed showing proper scientific evidence to backup their claims. Indeed, there are new brain training apps popping up in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store every day with no scientific information about their programs or even their companies. These companies destroy the credibility of the work of good researchers. I wrote the history of CogniFit and detailed their historical products (people can no longer purchase such products) because I thought it was important to show that this is not a new company, they have the proper experience and scientific publications. On the other hand, I have not detailed or even explained the new products, I only listed them with no explanations. My question is: Shall I not mention the company products? Even the history of their products that show their years of experience and science? Shall I completely delete the sections mentioning all of their products (discontinued and current products)?
  • I paid attention not to quote the CogniFit company owns website but it is true that I have quoted their press releases because in some cases did not have other source of information from this company. My question is: Shall I remove the content created from their press releases?
  • I wanted to positive about my way of writing because I believe that these companies show true promises for the future of brain health for mankind. You know the pharmaceutical industry spent several billion dollars in research to find the pill that would help people with brain health/mental health issues but they still haven't found anything without severe side effects. However, I understand your comment and can rewrite being more neutral.

I am looking forward to reading your future guidance.

Sincerely,

New Page Review newsletter September-October 2019

[edit]

Hello Whispering,

Backlog

Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 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.

Coordinator

A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.

This month's refresher course

Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.

Deletion tags

Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.

Paid editing

Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines' (SNG). Alternatives to deletion
  • Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves once more with notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
  • Blank-and-Redirect is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.
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, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.
Tools

Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.

Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.

Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

DannyS712 bot III is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its patrol log.

Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings.

Hi Whispering,

Thank you so much for reviewing my submission.

I'm just wondering if you could give me a bit more information as to why my article was rejected? I would be really grateful if you could let me know what lines specifically made the article seem like an advertisement? I would like to amend this so it is in line with Wikipedia guidelines.

Looking forward to hearing your feedback! :)

But when I enter this information into the entry for "Yohanan Petrovsky-Shtern" I noticed that repeatedly someone, who I suspect is an anti-Semitic troll, constantly deletes the information. Therefore, I would be most grateful if you can help secure the independence and integrity of the entry for Yohanan Petrovsky-Shtern. Thank you.

Speedy Deletion - Artesia (Digital Instruments)

[edit]

Hello. I hope you are well. I wanted to discuss the reasoning behind the Artesia article being declined. Yes, I am close to this matter specifically and this was disclosed, but the article is written in a neutral, fact stating way. Artesia brand pianos and instruments have been around since 2013 and are sold in over 50 countries around the world, so there is a relevance to this article. In addition to that, Musical Merchandise Review (MMR) Magazine is a long standing publication that highlights all aspects of the music industry hardware and software. MMR is a published, reliable, secondary source that is completely independent from the brand. Aside from that, the database from NAMM.org was referenced. NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) is described (on Wikipedia) as "the world’s largest trade-only event for the music products, pro audio and event tech industry". The world's largest musical merchandise trade show has Artesia listed in their database, so there is relevance. This article was drafted as an unbiased statement of facts about the Artesia brand of instruments. Can you please point me in the right direction as to how to get this brand's page published properly? Timothy R.

Tagging of Draft:The Work Truck Show

[edit]

I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Draft:The Work Truck Show. I do not think that Draft:The Work Truck Show fits any of the speedy deletion criteria  because This is essentially factual in content. The show may not be notable, but that alone is not a reason to delete, esp in draftspace.. I request that you consider not re-tagging Draft:The Work Truck Show for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 00:18, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Page was declined due to a sanction? I'm pretty new here so I don't know what that means

[edit]

An article draft I was working on was declined due to inadequate sourcing, no problem I'll find more sources, but you mentioned something about a sanction on all things relating to crypto currency and blockchain? Does this mean I should just abandon the article I was working on? FaultySubset84 (talk) 23:10, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

FaultySubset84 I declined it for the same reason The_Mirror_Cracked did lack of reliable sources. The Cleanweb looks like it's a blog, the other is a event which is a primary source both are passing mentions. The whole general sanction is just something I put on there mostly for your information. A reviewer might reject it for those grounds because it's a topic about crypotocurrency. Sorry for the confusion, if you have any other questions please ask. Whispering(t) 23:23, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just one question, I changed the one source to another website that isn't a blog, but can you tell me which one is the primary source? Is it the one from Northwestern University? — Preceding unsigned comment added by FaultySubset84 (talk • contribs) 01:21, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 00:41:13, 17 October 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by TeixeiraMMA

[edit]


Good Afternoon, I'm definitely looking for assistance on my article for Teixeira MMA & Fitness. Our article was declined for publishing due to it seeming like self promotion. We are a professional athlete/celebrity owned Professional MMA Training Camp, we're definitely not trying to self promote, but just get ourselves listed like other MMA Training Camps in our field. We literally took the formats from their Wiki articles to create our article to get it right, but somewhere we did something incorrectly. We're a very public MMA company and known not just nationally, but if various parts of the world in the professional fighting world due to the ownership of the business who's top ten in the world in the light heavyweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship & we have well known fighters that come to our facility from around the world. We're a Professional MMA Training Camp and we just need to get ours listed like the other MMA Training Camps that are on Wikipedia. Other MMA Training Camps like ours that are listed on Wikipedia are: The Pit MMA, American Top Team, Alliance MMA, Cesar Gracie Fight Team, exc. Hopefully this information helps to explain what we're trying to achieve. Would you be able to help steer me in the right direction to get this done correctly since adding to Wikipedia is definitely new to me (and I got it wrong). Kind Regards TeixeiraMMA (talk) 00:41, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Review newsletter November 2019

[edit]

Hello Whispering,

This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.

Getting the queue to 0

There are now 804 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If each reviewer soon does only 2 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by every reviewer doing only 1 review every 2 days - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Want to join? Consider adding the NPP Pledge userbox.
Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some really cool awards.

Coordinator

Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.

This month's refresher course

Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.

Tools
  • It is now possible to select new pages by date range. This was requested by reviewers who want to patrol from the middle of the list.
  • It is now also possible for accredited reviewers to put any article back into the New Pages Feed for re-review. The link is under 'Tools' in the side bar.
Reviewer Feedback

Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.

Second set of eyes
  • Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work, especially while some routine tagging for deletion can still be carried out by non NPR holders and inexperienced users. Read about it at the Monitoring the system section in the tutorial. If you come across such editors doing good work, don't hesitate to encourage them to apply for NPR.
  • Do be sure to have our talk page on your watchlist. There are often items that require reviewers' special attention, such as to watch out for pages by known socks or disruptive editors, technical issues and new developments, and of course to provide advice for other reviewers.
Arbitration Committee

The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.

Community Wish list

There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

Hard carbon

[edit]

Hi

You recently approved “Graphitizing and non-graphitizing carbons”, so thanks for that. The purpose of my “Hard carbon” page was to redirect people to “Graphitizing and non-graphitizing carbons”. “Hard carbon” is the same stuff as non-graphitizing carbon, but non-graphitizing carbon is a more scientific term. Hard carbon/non- graphitizing carbon is increasingly important in lithium and sodium ion batteries.

New Page Review newsletter December 2019

[edit]

Reviewer of the Year

This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.

Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.

Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.

Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

Redirect autopatrol

A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.

Source Guide Discussion

Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.

This month's refresher course

While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

Hello, Whispering. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "sandbox".

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! CptViraj (📧) 16:44, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:OceanFirst Bank

[edit]

Hello, you declined the AfC because the draft reads like advertising. I tried to use neutral tone really and I cannot see how to make the less advertorial. Should I change the article's structure? could you give me advice to clean up the article? I would like to know more about why you declined and make adjustments accordingly. Merry Christmas and thanks for reviewing AngelicaDos (talk) 23:17, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I updated the Acquisition section and renamed it to 'Business expansion', tried to be more general, less specific with money. is it better now? AngelicaDos (talk) 15:11, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
