Speedy deletion nomination of Superbloom (disambiguation)

Resolved

Extended content

Hello Another Believer,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username John B123 and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged an article that you started, Superbloom (disambiguation) for deletion, because it is unnecessary and disambiguates only a single page.

If you feel that the page 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|John B123}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Alphabetizing

Question—how are these being alphabetized? I just added Kameron alphabetized by first name as consensus seemed to be for drag queens, but I noticed that Derrick Barry, for example, seems to be alphabetized by her last name (and Marcelino Sambé, who isn't a drag queen, is alphabetized by first name). There are a few more cases like that, too. Obviously not a big thing, but just wondering. Armadillopteryx^talk 16:23, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Armadillopteryx, People add to the list differently. I try to list people by last name, with exceptions for drag queens (who are generally sorted by first name). Some people just add to the top of the list. A bit of cleanup is probably needed. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:25, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Americans Against Insecure Billionaires with Tiny Hands

Extended content

Hello, Another Believer. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Americans Against Insecure Billionaires with Tiny Hands".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! Nathan2055^{talk - contribs} 08:09, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

Talkback message from Tito Dutta

Hello, Another Believer. You have new messages at Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Old_notification.

• Yes I knew it was definitely not your fault. For 2 reasons I posted on the VP directly a) other people are also using the script, and b) to keep it "non-personal", that's why did not mention you directly in the post. If the script is triggering email and other notification, that's bad. If you want to test please archive "Sumit Arora" section here User talk:Titodutta.

• This is super weird, actually. I've never previously gotten a ping notification when a thread I was tagged in got archived (even if the archiver also had a signature in the discussion), but this week it's happened two or three times already (including just now at Talk:Christmas Queens 3/Archive 1 and four days ago at Talk:Kameron Michaels/Archive 1). Do we know if there's been a change in the way pings are coded? Previously a new signature had to be added as four tildes in order for anyone tagged in the post to be notified; in fact, Template:Ping fix explains: The notifications system only informs a user when you link their username in the same saved edit as you successfully sign your post. A ping cannot be fixed in a later edit by adding your signature or fixing a botched username. I wonder what's going on. Armadillopteryx 16:03, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

DYK for Statue of Hans Christian Heg

On 15 August 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Statue of Hans Christian Heg, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a statue (pictured) of Hans Christian Heg, a Union soldier and abolitionist, was torn down by protesters, decapitated, and thrown into a lake following the arrest of a Black Lives Matter member? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Statue of Hans Christian Heg. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Statue of Hans Christian Heg), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Wandering Rocks

Hi Another Believer - I notice you've reversed a page move I did for Wandering Rocks (sculpture). Any reason why you think Wandering Rocks (AP) is a better name? There's nothing in the article which mentions what AP refers to, so unless people already know something about the sculpture that the article doesn't say, it's not an easy title to search for. Grutness...wha? 04:37, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Grutness, I understand, but there are multiple sculptures called "Wandering Rocks", hence why I turned the page into a disambiguation page. This source confirms Edition AP. I'm open to moving the page, if needed, but not to "Wandering Rocks (sculpture)". ---Another Believer _(Talk) 04:39, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Would Wandering Rocks (Seattle sculpture) work? Grutness...wha? 04:41, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Grutness, Maybe? I'd recommend submitting a move request so other editors can weigh in. Or, try asking at WikiProject Sculpture about possible naming conventions? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 04:42, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

AP usually means Artist's proof. That's likely the case here. There are 5 editions, 1–5 and one artist's proof. Vexations (talk) 21:33, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Reply tool

The number of comments posted with the Reply Tool from March through June 2020. People used the Reply Tool to post over 7,400 comments with the tool.

The Reply tool has been available as a Beta Feature at the Arabic, Dutch, French and Hungarian Wikipedias since 31 March 2020. The first analysis showed positive results.

• More than 300 editors used the Reply tool at these four Wikipedias. They posted more than 7,400 replies during the study period.
• Of the people who posted a comment with the Reply tool, about 70% of them used the tool multiple times. About 60% of them used it on multiple days.
• Comments from Wikipedia editors are positive. One said, أعتقد أن الأداة تقدم فائدة ملحوظة؛ فهي تختصر الوقت لتقديم رد بدلًا من التنقل بالفأرة إلى وصلة تعديل القسم أو الصفحة، التي تكون بعيدة عن التعليق الأخير في الغالب، ويصل المساهم لصندوق التعديل بسرعة باستخدام الأداة. ("I think the tool has a significant impact; it saves time to reply while the classic way is to move with a mouse to the Edit link to edit the section or the page which is generally far away from the comment. And the user reaches to the edit box so quickly to use the Reply tool.")

The Editing team released the Reply tool as a Beta Feature at eight other Wikipedias in early August. Those Wikipedias are in the Chinese, Czech, Georgian, Serbian, Sorani Kurdish, Swedish, Catalan, and Korean languages. If you would like to use the Reply tool at your wiki, please tell User talk:Whatamidoing (WMF).

The Reply tool is still in active development. Per request from the Dutch Wikipedia and other editors, you will be able to customize the edit summary. (The default edit summary is "Reply".) A "ping" feature is available in the Reply tool's visual editing mode. This feature searches for usernames. Per request from the Arabic Wikipedia, each wiki will be able to set its own preferred symbol for pinging editors. Per request from editors at the Japanese and Hungarian Wikipedias, each wiki can define a preferred signature prefix in the page MediaWiki:Discussiontools-signature-prefix. For example, some languages omit spaces before signatures. Other communities want to add a dash or a non-breaking space.

New requirements for user signatures

• The new requirements for custom user signatures began on 6 July 2020. If you try to create a custom signature that does not meet the requirements, you will get an error message.
• Existing custom signatures that do not meet the new requirements will be unaffected temporarily. Eventually, all custom signatures will need to meet the new requirements. You can check your signature and see lists of active editors whose custom signatures need to be corrected. Volunteers have been contacting editors who need to change their custom signatures. If you need to change your custom signature, then please read the help page.

Next: New discussion tool

Next, the team will be working on a tool for quickly and easily starting a new discussion section to a talk page. To follow the development of this new tool, please put the New Discussion Tool project page on your watchlist.

WikiCup

WikiCup 2020 September newsletter

Extended content

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with 865 points being required to qualify for the final round, nearly twice as many points as last year. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with 598 and 605 points being eliminated, and all but two of the contestants who reached the final round having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were

• Bloom6132, with 1478 points gained mainly from 5 featured lists, 12 DYKs and 63 in the news items;
• HaEr48 with 1318 points gained mainly from 2 featured articles, 5 good articles and 8 DYKs;
• Lee Vilenski with 1201 points mainly gained from 2 featured articles and 10 good articles.

Between them, contestants achieved 14 featured articles, 14 featured lists, 2 featured pictures, 87 good articles, 90 DYK entries, 75 ITN entries, 95 featured article candidate reviews and 81 good article reviews. Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

WikiCup 2020 November newsletter

Extended content

The 2020 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round going down to the wire. Our new Champion is Lee Vilenski (submissions), the runner-up last year, who was closely followed by Gog the Mild (submissions). In the final round, Lee achieved 4 FAs and 30 GAs, mostly on cue sport topics, while Gog achieved 3 FAs and 15 GAs, mostly on important battles and wars, which earned him a high number of bonus points. The Rambling Man (submissions) was in third place with 4 FAs and 8 GAs on football topics, with Epicgenius (submissions) close behind with 19 GAs and 16 DYK's, his interest being the buildings of New York.

The other finalists were Hog Farm (submissions), HaEr48 (submissions), Harrias (submissions) and Bloom6132 (submissions). The final round was very productive, and besides 15 FAs, contestants achieved 75 FAC reviews, 88 GAs and 108 GAN reviews. Altogether, Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone!

All those who reached the final will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field.

• Gog the Mild (submissions) wins the featured article prize, for a total of 14 FAs during the course of the competition.
• Bloom6132 (submissions) win the featured list prize, for 5 FLs in round 4.
• Rhododendrites (submissions) wins the featured picture prize, for 3 FPs in round 3 and 5 overall.
• Lee Vilenski (submissions) wins the featured article reviewer prize, for 23 FAC reviews in round 5.
• Epicgenius (submissions) wins the good article prize, for 45 GAs in round 2 and 113 overall.
• MPJ-DK (submissions) wins the topic prize, for 33 articles in good topics in round 2.
• The Rambling Man (submissions) wins the good article reviewer prize, for 100 good article reviews in round 2.
• Epicgenius (submissions) wins the DYK prize, for 22 Did you know articles in round 4 and 94 overall.
• Bloom6132 (submissions) wins the ITN prize, for 63 In the news articles in round 4 and 136 overall.

Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2021 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Disloyal

Why did you move the existing stub article into draftspace so that you could restart the article? Why didn't you build on the existing article? We should WP:PRESERVE. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:21, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Muboshgu, I didn't move the stub into draft space. I simply created Disloyal: A Memoir not knowing someone else had already moved Disloyal into draft space (which I don't think was necessary). ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:22, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Ah my mistake. I thought that seemed like an odd thing for you to do. I see now who did it. Wouldn't it be better to move the draft back to preserve the article history? – Muboshgu (talk) 21:39, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Muboshgu, I don't think preserving the draft history is required in this case since the stubs were created independently, but if the author of the original stub feels inclined to request a histmerge, that's their choice. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:41, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

PRODs

Being unsourced is not, in itself, a valid reason for speedy deletion. In order to justify deletion, there has to have been "thorough attempts to find reliable sources". Merely being unsourced, even for a long time, is not evidence that "thorough attempts" have been made to find sources. - dcljr (talk) 17:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Dcljr, Ok, thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:27, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Just a suggestion

You might want to look at the school article you prodded yesterday that was deprodded for a spurious reason. A vulture kinda picked it over. AfD, anyone? John from Idegon (talk) 08:45, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

John from Idegon, Yeah, User:Dcljr seems to think my PRODs were inappropriate... I don't really think these pages are worth saving but I'll let the community sort this out. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 12:51, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

@John from Idegon: I assume you mean Children's Paradise School? Please note that the dePRODding was not spurious: the original PROD was based on an invented criterion. (In fact, dePRODs cannot be spurious, as they can be done for literally any reason.) Anyway, I have no opinions about what ultimately happens to the article, as long as it's done within our guidelines. - dcljr (talk) 22:57, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

The article was deleted. If you're some how pround of yourself for wasting a week of other people in the projects time because you don't know what notability means, you feel good about that. Bravo. You've made grand improvements. You made deleting a pile of crap involve numerous other editors and an extra weeks time. As I said, Bravo. Be proud of yourself. John from Idegon (talk) 02:34, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Wouldn't have happend if PROD hadn't been misused. - dcljr (talk) 03:28, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

PROD wasn't misused. There's a difference between WP:Proposed deletion and WP:Speedy deletion which you cited in the removal and it's quite astonishing someone who's been around as long as you doesn't know it. The Children's Paradise School indeed meets WP:DEL-REASON #6 and #7, so the PROD was very well applied, but now you're wasting people's time at AFD on non-notable articles. Reywas92^Talk 05:54, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Heh… Somehow I missed the words "do not" in the statement, "is meant for uncomplicated deletion proposals that do not meet the strict criteria for speedy deletion" at WP:PROD. My bad. I was under the impression that PROD was somehow an alternative method of getting something speedily deleted. (This was the first time the process had come to my attention, AFAIR. I was already well aware of deletion discussions and speedy deletion through {{Db}}, etc.) In any case, I did look at WP:DEL-REASON, as well, before I did anything. (In other words, just to be clear: I still would have contested the PRODs, even if I had only relied on DEL-REASON and not brought speedy deletion into this at all.) As for "#6 and #7", I direct you to the phrases "cannot possibly" and "thorough attempts" in those reasons. There was no indication in any of the PRODs that reliable sources were actually searched for and not found, or that such sources "could not possibly" exist, merely that the articles had lain there unsourced for a long time. I still say, that in itself is not a sufficient reason for deletion, unless attempts have actually been made to find RSs — in which case, just say that in the PRODs. (And, BTW, John from Idegon brought up "notability" above, which has also been cited in subsequent edits to many of the pages in question by Another Believer: "notability" wasn't mentioned in the PRODs, either. If you don't want things like this happening in the future, just properly justify the PRODs in the first place.) Literally the only reason I got involved at all was that the articles' long-term unsourced status was the only justification given; I objected to that as a justification for deletion, so I contested the PRODs, which was entirely consistent with WP:CONTESTED. If that bothers you, well, I don't know what to tell you. You will be happy to know that I had not planned on being involved in any other PROD activities well before this particular discussion was initiated. So, we need not ever encounter each other again. Bye. - dcljr (talk) 20:57, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

1776 Commission

Proposed deletion of 1776 Commission

Resolved

Extended content

The article 1776 Commission has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is a non-existent entity. Yes, Trump said on September 17 that he would "soon" create a 1776 Commission. That was in a speech where he also said "If you demolish a statue without permission, you immediately get 10 years in prison." Trump says many things that come to nothing. Surely it's not time for an article about "the" 1776 Commission until a 1776 Commission actually exists?

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.

Hello, Another Believer,

I noticed that you have done some editing on this article and a new editor added a lot of material that they had developed in their user space. There are some useful references in there so reversion isn't appropriate but I'm not familiar with this article and I'm hoping you could look it over and see if the additions are improvements or unnecessary embellishments.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:WikiProject Rufus Wainwright articles

Resolved

Extended content

A tag has been placed on Category:WikiProject Rufus Wainwright articles requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

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. Liz ^{Read!

GOCE requests

Hey, in the future, could you just give me a heads-up if you submit an article I've written alone to the GOCE? I was confused, shocked and a little upset to see that drive-through of Lady Red. As we discussed last year when Honey's article was up for GA, I copy edit professionally and have found GOCE edits to my articles to mostly introduce unambiguous errors and make otherwise neutral/subjective changes. It's a time-consuming pain to have to go through and re-correct all those "corrections" when the article was actually in better shape beforehand. Obviously no one owns any article, and anyone is free to make a GOCE request, but I would be very grateful for a courtesy ping if you make a request for an article to which I am the sole major contributor.

LoraxJr, Well, I assume someone else mentioned this request to translate quality articles about drag queens into other languages, but my goal here was mostly to get articles promoted to Good/Featured status.

That's an interesting article, AB! From its talk page I realized there's a project in destubbing articles, I'll see if I can contribute. I recently nominated Ave Maryam as FAC, perhaps you can give advice. GeraldWL 17:35, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
