A pie for you!

Thanks for your great work on the superlens article!!! EdSaperia (talk) 11:31, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks

I'm glad you are expressing useful views regarding the Introduction to Quantum Mechanics page. It seems that every so often someone must start a fork or insist that the article be cut down to some kind of simplistic gee whiz content. I hope we can keep it at a level that will be used to more than the occasional curiosity seeker. Thanks for your help.P0M (talk) 06:06, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, it seems this same conversation comes around every so often. Also, this article deserves my support. And you have done an excellent job with this article. --- Steve Quinn (talk) 06:11, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Thank you Steve for your message

Steve thank you very much for you message. I know shopping addiction is a very significant subject in our current society but it is also a very controversial one. Because of this I have tried to include all the scientific aspects and perspectives. Moreover the knowledge of shopping addiction progress fast, so it is necessary the updating of the contents of the page. That’s why the article is substantially a translation of another Wikipedia page which has done all this complete scientific work. Now – following the advices of Melcous- I am improving the article with more references and bibliography in English, since that they will be more useful for English readers.

Disambiguation link notification for July 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Macromolecular Bioscience, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page BIOBASE (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/EWay

Hey,

I noticed you rolled back my last edit and put a tag for deletion on the article.

The reason I was updating the page is that a lot of the references on the current page have broken links or go to 404 pages.

If I update the page without the Industry Partners and Banking and Financial Partners sections would that help solve the issues with the page?

Then all references will be coming from third party newspaper articles (With the exception of the PCI Cert which I can remove as well if needed?)

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.55.147.158 (talk) 06:10, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Please post your proposed changes on the article talk page. I do not trust an anonymous IP who is removing material and vastly rewriting the article. You were doing this before I submitted the AfD. Steve Quinn (talk) 06:14, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Congratulations from STiki!

russia interference- emails

Steve, explain your logic in deleting my addition to emails on russia interference. Undue weight? The whole paragraph is one sided and incomplete. OK, Trump called for someone to find the 30,000 emails. BUT, which ones? SPECIFICALLY he was talking about the 30,000 emails that were unlawfully deleted because there was a congressional subpoena. This is not mentioned in the paragraph at all and is very important to the context. It was well sourced, not original research.Aceruss (talk) 18:46, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

The whole paragraph is just fine. First, you left out some information because this is a complicated issue. As it is, as I said in the edit history, what you added is out of context. Therefore it is UNDUE, original research, and most likely has some BLP issues. Then I have to question if this belongs in the paragraph once all the bases have been covered. It might be beyond the scope of this paragraph or the scope of this article. I suspect that it could be both. Steve Quinn (talk) 05:01, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Why Beliefs Matter (March 4)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:  The comment the reviewer left was: 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 when they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Why Beliefs Matter and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
• You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

SwisterTwister talk 05:19, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

• SwisterTwister Thanks for reviewing this in a timely manner. It is much appreciated. I actually submitted this to WP:AFC because it is a new (draft) article by a new editor, rather than summarily putting it up for deletion. I reached the same conclusion you did - lack of available reliable sources. I explained the situation on the new editor's page [1]. Anyway, I am hoping this can reside in WP:AFC for awhile, until the new editor decides its fate or finds some sources (which really seem unavialble). So, I don't know exactly how WP:AFC works, but I am hoping I can leave this article there for the time being. Is this OK? Steve Quinn (talk) 05:30, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Yes. SwisterTwister talk 05:33, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

It looks like your last response to JFG (and his subsequent thanks) should

be repositioned above my question to you:

@Steve Quinn: re "concluded": where in the citation did it state that US Intel Agencies "concluded"? I see "The U.S. Intelligence Community is confident …"; thx Humanengr (talk) 03:53, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

[I didn't want you to miss my question, thx]

@Humanengr: I think the repositioning is a good idea. And, I won't be able to get to your question right now. Thanks. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 05:20, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Comments about Chingri Malaicurry

Hi Steve, I understand that you wanted me to reference sources regarding my edit to the article on Chingri Malai curry. I made the edits based on my experience and not on any borrowed knowledge. It is a traditional recipe which is an integral part of the culture and city I grew up in. Hence I am not sure how to cite. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Payelbasu (talk • contribs) 00:54, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

@Payelbasu: Thanks for contacting me regarding your edit. Looking at the article, it seems to be a generalized description of this dish. My suggestion for the moment is to read the references in the article and see if your additions are in the content of those references. I think with any dish there is a generalized description by which it is recognized, then there are local and regional variations. It is the generalized description that would be considered encyclopedic.

Let me know if you have any luck with the article references. If not then try to find something written down and published and we can go from there. Likewise, if you don't find anything let me know and we can go from there as well. I placed a "Welcome" template to your page so you can get more ideas about how to edit on Wikipedia. ---Steve Quinn (talk)

New page reviewer granted

Hello Steve Quinn. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk.

• URGENT: Please consider helping get the huge backlog down to a manageable number of pages as soon as possible.
• Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
• Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
• Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:06, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Bach concertos

I would like to see List of concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach moved back to Concerto (Bach), for the reasons I gave here, i.e. because it is rather intended (although not yet completed) as an overview page than as a list page, and by analogy to the names of similar pages: Suite (Bach), Church cantata (Bach). --Francis Schonken (talk) 19:08, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

• @Francis Schonken: thanks for contacting. Let me take a closer look at the situation. Truthfully, I am not well versed in Classical Music or Classical Music articles on Wikipedia. But, now, I see what you are saying. I will comment further later. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. You might have a good point here. Steve Quinn (talk) 19:15, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

  @Francis Schonken: it seems I made a mistake by removing the speedy tag from the redirect. It seems to me you are the only one actively engaged in the move, so technically it would be an uncontested speedy delete of that redirect page. I am sorry that I misunderstood - but I did finally figure it out. I have no problem with the move. So, I will add back the speedy delete tag as a prelude to the uncontested move. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 19:38, 10 July 2017‎ (UTC).

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Hello Steve Quinn, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update:

• The new page backlog is currently at 18,511 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a a day.
• Some editors are committing to work specifically on patrolling new pages on 15 July. If you have not reviewed new pages in a while, this might be a good time to be involved. Please remember that quality of patrolling is more important than quantity, that the speedy deletion criteria should be followed strictly, and that ovetagging for minor issues should be avoided.

Technology update:

• Several requests have been put into Phabractor to increase usability of the New Pages Feed and the Page Curation toolbar. For more details or to suggest improvements go to Wikipedia:Page Curation/Suggested improvements
• The tutorial has been updated to include links to the following useful userscripts. If you were not aware of them, they could be useful in your efforts reviewing new pages:
  • User:Lourdes/PageCuration.js adds a link to the new pages feed and page curation toolbar to your top toolbar on Wikipedia
  • User:The Earwig/copyvios.js adds a link in your side toolbox that will run the current page through

General project update:

• Following discussion at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers, Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Noticeboard has been marked as historical. Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers is currently the most active central discussion forum for the New Page Patrol project. To keep up to date on the most recent discussions you can add it to your watchlist or visit it periodically.
