WP:PLACEDAB and Nigeria

edit

Hi, I notice that you've been active in making pagemoves and requested moves over the last while. As you know, I've started a discussion concerning WP:PLACEDAB and expect that the current policy will be updated soon. This would mean that all ambiguous Nigerian cities would follow the format Placename, Nigeria, and not Placename, State as the policy currently specifies. I'd ask that you consider pausing your activity for a few days; once the policy is in place, then these moves will be uncontroversial and the articles can be moved per the new standard. 162 etc. (talk)

162 etc. Okay, but what about the ones that have been moved? Josedimaria237 (talk) 18:34, 13 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

A barnster for you

The Football Barnstar
So Super 6 ended yesterday, and I was thinking about creating time to work on the article. It was nice to see you already beat me to it. I use to be only one committed to updating these articles, but I feel really glad to know that there is someone else that is dedicated to creating detailed articles on our elite football. For this reason, I am issuing you this barnster. HandsomeBoy (talk) 14:15, 23 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
I am a member of a closed WhatsApp group that contains most of the key administrators in the NWFL, I am wondering if you are also there? HandsomeBoy (talk) 14:17, 23 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, I am even surprised that there are other Wikipedians concerned about NWFL and Nigerian women's football.

I am not on that WhatsApp group. Josedimaria237 (talk) 15:01, 23 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

What's even more surprising is that we are both male, where are the Nigerian women editors????. I actually started contributing in this area because of the obvious content gap, but along the line I started to really follow and enjoy women's football. I streamed the entire UWCL game on YouTube live, and I really enjoyed that game. For Nigeria, I mostly only watch highlights, but will be glad to visit a stadium one of this days, at least it will be an avenue to get pictures into some of these wiki articles. Hope you have joined WikiProject Nigeria? HandsomeBoy (talk) 15:14, 23 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Me too I would like to watch a NWFL game and I follow women's football a lot.

I will like to join WikiProject Nigeria because a lot of Nigerian articles need heavy updates and I need users who can contribute to Nigerian football updates with pictures, I am finding it difficult to upload pictures on Wikipedia and I have stopped as it may lead to me getting blocked if I remain persistent. Josedimaria237 (talk) 15:40, 23 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

You can join WP:WikiProject Nigeria by following this wikilink Wikipedia:WikiProject_Nigeria#Active_members, and adding your username to the members section. Concerning images, I have added more than 100 images to Wikipedia/Commons, so I think I am in a good position to assist in that regard. There are also many experienced editors that monitor the WikiProject Nigeria talkpage, and they will be quick to respond to any of your query. We are always glad to help because we were once assisted too. I am very sure you will be assisting others on the talkpage in the nearest future.HandsomeBoy (talk) 16:31, 26 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

@HandsomeBoy: Thank you, I have joined WikiProject Nigeria, I will like you to add me to the mailing list. Josedimaria237 (talk) 21:14, 26 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

I am talking about this part; He attended Christ the King School, Aba between 1942 to 1949 then proceeded to St. Patrick’s College, Calabar to study between 1950 to 1956.
He received his B.Sc degree in Zoology from the University of London in 1961 and his M.Sc degree in 1965, he also received a Ph.D degree in Zoology from the University of Stockholm in 1965.
Nwagwu went to the University of Connecticut in 1966, where he completed spectacular researches on myosinmessenger RNA and muscle-protein synthesis on his post-doctoral fellowship. Or, is it from the Business Day article? I’d suggested adding the reference in each paragraph. Best, Reading Beans 20:44, 16 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Note regarding Draft:Alexander Arkadyevich Kaufman

edit

@Josedimaria: Hello, and thank you for the previous review of my draft. I wanted to let you know that I have thoroughly revised and rewritten the article, addressing all the concerns you raised. The draft now includes independent, secondary sources such as the SPWLA obituary, the Colorado School of Mines “Faculty Spotlight,” and the SEG honors listing. I have resubmitted the draft through AfC. Thanks again for your feedback. GITSK (talk) 21:41, 18 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Draft:Alexander Arkadyevich Kaufman (geophysicist) - Wikipedia GITSK (talk) 06:26, 19 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
@Josedimaria: Thank you for your helpful comments on my draft.
1. Regarding your first point about non-trivial secondary coverage beyond tributes:
the draft already cites several independent sources that provide in-depth coverage of Kaufman’s career and scientific work. For convenience, here are direct links:
  • **Colorado School of Mines “Geophysics Newsletter” – SEG Honorary Membership (Spring 2005)** – independent coverage of his contributions and career.
https://www.mines.edu/geophysics/wp-content/uploads/sites/30/2017/08/geophysics-newsletter-spring-2005.pdf
  • **Colorado School of Mines “Professor Kaufman: A Perfect 10” (Spring 2002)** –independent coverage of his teaching, reputation among students, publications.
https://www.mines.edu/geophysics/wp-content/uploads/sites/30/2017/08/geophysics-newsletter-spring-2002.pdf
  • **Geophysical Journal International (1996 review by M. N. Berdichevsky)** – a peer-reviewed academic review discussing the theoretical contributions of Kaufman’s monograph (read the first paragraph of the review).
https://academic.oup.com/gji/article/127/2/559/592834?login=false
2. Regarding the title: there is another notable historical figure with the same full name, Alexander Arkadyevich Kaufman (1864–1919), who was a Russian economist. To avoid confusion between the two, I kept the “(geophysicist)” disambiguator. If you prefer a different disambiguation format, I am happy to adjust it. Кауфман, Александр Аркадьевич — Википедия
Thank you again for your time and consideration.

Articles for creation backlog drive

edit

Hello Josedimaria:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in December!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than half a month of outstanding reviews from the current 2+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 December 2025 through 31 December 2025.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 3000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help!

Laguna Los Portillos moved to draftspace

edit

Thanks for your contributions to Laguna Los Portillos. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and a large proportion of the links are broken and so cannot be verified. Sources referring directly to the lagoon rather than the border dispute and the San Juan river would be welcome . I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Boynamedsue (talk) 16:24, 3 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Jeff Dodds

edit

Hi there - I was searching for a page for Jeff Dodds, the Formula E CEO and then thought about creating it. I saw there was an AfC that you declined in December draft:Jeff Dodds for not meeting notability. Quite a lot of those references look like they'd pass WP:GNG to me (especially Reuters, Guardian and ESPN pieces), but I wonder if you could let me know your thoughts around why you declined it? I don't want to spend any time on it if you don't think it's a goer, but equally feel that it's a page that would carry encyclopaedic value, especially to us motorsport fans. Thanks. WestminsterTown (talk) 20:27, 14 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

@WestminsterTown: You can work on the issues raised by the editors who declined the page and resubmit for review, but I agree with you that it now meets WP:GNG. hola 20:54, 14 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Ok great, thanks. I'll work on it. Have a good day. WestminsterTown (talk) 08:32, 15 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Just a heads up that I've worked on the page today and made some edits. Mainly around removing content that was superfluous or sounded promotional in tone. I've also added a new source, but as mentioned, sourcing feels strong now. I think that's addressed the comments of previous editors. WestminsterTown (talk) 13:34, 15 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

After the January–February drive the article backlog was reduced to 15,179 articles and the redirect backlog to 19,053 respectively. Great job! However, both queues are growing rapidly and any additional reviews are highly appreciated.

2024 and 2025 NPP Awards

JTtheOG was selected as the NPP reviewer of the year for both 2024 and 2025, for reviewing the most articles amongst all reviewers.

Hey man im josh and MPGuy2824 won the Redirect Ninja Master Award for 2024 and 2025 respectively, for reviewing the most redirects.

Overall in 2024, one Platinum, two Gold, eight Silver, 12 Bronze and 45 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 66 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year. In 2025, one Platinum, ten Silver, 13 Bronze and 38 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 38 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year.

BoyTheKingCanDance, Rosiestep, SunDawn, and Vanderwaalforces were inducted into the NPP Hall of Fame for having two separate years of 2,000+ article reviews.

January–February backlog drive

The experimental two-month long backlog drive concluded with 183 reviewers patrolling over 27,761 articles and 35,309 redirects, earning over 36,836 points. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 6,484.6 points in this drive.

May backlog drive

An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026.

PageTriage

An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket if you're interested in following along.

Image replacement request

Hello @Josedimaria

I am the subject of the article Chandra Kafle and have a conflict of interest (COI), so I cannot edit it directly.

You recently reviewed this article, so I thought you might be able to help.

Currently, there is a low quality WEBP image in the article taken from my website without proper licensing.

I have uploaded a better quality licensed photo to Wikimedia Commons:

Could you please: remove the current WEBP image replace it with the Commons image in the infobox
