File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Marshall Islands Futsal League.webp

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Marshall Islands Futsal League.webp. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Ирука¹³ 16:25, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Marshall Islands Futsal League.webp

Thanks for uploading File:Marshall Islands Futsal League.webp. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included.

Proposed deletion of Fall 2023 Auburn, Alabama Youth Soccer League

The article Fall 2023 Auburn, Alabama Youth Soccer League has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unclear why a season for a local youth league would be a notable subject when the league itself doesn't even have an article and the best sources that may be expected are local bits of routine coverage. Fails our notability guideline.

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.

Repeating a RM

Why are you starting an RM on Talk:Afghanistan national football team 19 hours after the last RM on there closed? The consensus won't have changed in those 19 hours, if you oppose the outcome of the last RM, then WP:Move review is the proper process to challenge it. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:36, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Joseph2302: In my close, I mentioned the possibility of another RM on that more narrow set of pages. Evidently many others disagree with that reconsideration as well (to the extent that the new discussion was speedy closed) but I didn't intend my close to preclude it.

Your submission at Articles for creation: The Final Earth 2 (October 20)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Qcne was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This is a fun game, but unfortunately most of your sources do not contribute to the notability criteria under WP:NVIDEOGAME. They're mostly game databases, primary, or review aggregators. We'd need actual articles that are dedicated to reviewing the game. I am sure you can find some- and would encourage you to re-submit when you do.

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 after they have been resolved.

@Qcne how many would you recommend as a minimum? Yoblyblob (talk) 19:47, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoblyblob I'd like to see three sources that are secondary and independent of the game company itself, so not PR pieces or interviews. Genuine reviews, or discussions of the game development, or analysis etc. Qcne (talk) 19:48, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Yoblyblob! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

Kiribati - 2023 Pacific Games Football

Curious about the source on this one, last I heard they'd held trials but nothing was set in stone, same for the Tuvalu women's national team which we've heard nothing about since. Do very much hope it is true though, just interested to see any confirmation? Ratkiller75 (talk) 20:18, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alternafoot, reputable French based outlet that focuses on Oceanian region stuff. Drawn into group B with Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu. Yoblyblob (talk) 21:32, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ratkiller75 Yoblyblob (talk) 21:32, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoblyblob Huh, surprised I missed that, I usually keep track of them. Thank you very much and sorry for bothering you. Bitterly disappointed at the Tuvalu women's team trials evidently not panning out though. Also at poor Kiribati getting no easier teams. Ratkiller75 (talk) 06:36, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ratkiller75 No problem bothering me, I like talking about this stuff. Kiribati can cross their fingers, but they need a lot of luck. I didn’t know Tuvalu had trials for a women’s team, sad that didn’t work out. Yoblyblob (talk) 12:10, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoblyblob Oh I definitely like talking about it too, but tend to come across as a little manic at times! Kiribati can't do worse then their last appearances of consecutive 17-1 defeats, but I do worry for them. Hopefully there are placement matches, though I've not seen any evidence there are.

Tuvalu's women's trials came from their official FB account, which tends to post match results for some of a season and then go quiet. Posts were in Tuvaluan, which thankfully translates from Samoan reasonably, and seemed to get some engagement. But never cheap for them to travel so I'm assuming they didn't get enough interest to justify it. Ratkiller75 (talk) 17:38, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ratkiller75 bad news… Sad news Yoblyblob (talk) 16:01, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoblyblob Yes, saw this before you let me know (was unable to log in). I know the reason why, but not sure if allowed to share. Very sad news, but still hopeful that we can see them, possibly in the 2024 Nations Cup. Ratkiller75 (talk) 18:28, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That would be a shock if they did, why can't you share? Are you within the organization? Yoblyblob (talk) 20:06, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

KylieTastic (talk) 19:15, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @KylieTastic. Thanks for letting me know!

Most coverage I can find is of individual matches, however they have not yet played many “notable” matches that should be mentioned at the article.

Should I simply look for more covering the club’s entry into the league, as this is their first season? Yoblyblob (talk) 21:15, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, all new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage (WP:SIGCOV) in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). So it's not about “notable” matches but just nobility in general. If it is the first season of a U22 team then it may be they are just not yet notable as many such teams generally don't much notice. Some do so just look for any independent sources that have significant coverage and not just passing mentions. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 21:21, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New page reviewer granted

Hi Yoblyblob. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:

Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies.

References

Hi,

I saw you undid my edit at 2024 OFC Nations Cup qualification. Per WP:CITE, it is standard practice to replace bare URLs with full bibliographic citations. Bare URLs are vulnerable to link rot so, to prevent this, they should be improved to full citations as per Wikipedia policy. This has been discussed at WP:FOOTY before because a lot of football articles currently do not follow policy and cite sources. Happy to hear your thoughts. Stevie fae Scotland (talk) 16:44, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Stevie fae Scotland, thanks for letting me know. I was unaware of the prior discussions, could you direct me to where those took place? I’m more than happy to go along with the citation method you used, I was just unaware of the procedure. Thanks again! Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 17:03, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. I'll need to have a look through the talk page archives and get back to you as it was at least six months ago. Unfortunately, it's an issue with a lot of football articles. Stevie fae Scotland (talk) 22:34, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

RFA2024 update: no longer accepting new proposals in phase I

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:

Proposal 2, initiated by HouseBlaster, provides for the addition of a text box at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
Proposals 3 and 3b, initiated by Barkeep49 and Usedtobecool, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
Proposal 5, initiated by SilkTork, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
Proposals 6c and 6d, initiated by BilledMammal, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
Proposal 7, initiated by Lee Vilenski, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
Proposal 9b, initiated by Reaper Eternal, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
Proposals 12c, 21, and 21b, initiated by City of Silver, Ritchie333, and HouseBlaster, respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
Proposal 13, initiated by Novem Lingaue, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
Proposal 14, initiated by Kusma, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
Proposals 16 and 16c, initiated by Thebiguglyalien and Soni, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the administrators' noticeboard; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
Proposal 16e, initiated by BilledMammal, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
Proposal 17, initiated by SchroCat, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
Proposal 18, initiated by theleekycauldron, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
Proposal 24, initiated by SportingFlyer, provides for a more robust alternate version of the optional candidate poll.
Proposal 25, initiated by Femke, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
Proposal 27, initiated by WereSpielChequers, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
Proposal 28, initiated by HouseBlaster, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her), via:

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at 2024 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 18:49, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Yoblyblob,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Ron Anders.jpeg

A tag has been placed on File:Ron Anders.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a copyright violation and has no credible claim of fair use or permission. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy 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 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.
