In lieu of a barnstar

Just for the heck of it. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 18:16, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Can I have permission to steal this picture for my userpage?? ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador ^ᐐT₳LKᐬ 16:15, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, on the basis that anything posted to wikipedia is public domain, the answer is yes, but you should be nice, as you have been already, and ask Smallbones on his Talk page. OK? Roxy the dog. bark 22:47, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, WP submissions are not PD. Tsk, tsk, Roxy! E Eng 22:55, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

OK. OK. I'm sorry. I'll go and stand in this shallow grave shall I? -Roxy the dog. bark 22:59, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking seppuku, but I guess that will do. E Eng 23:40, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New page reviewer granted

Hello Roxy the dog. 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. Anarchyte (work | talk) 11:51, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Foreign language

Hi, I removed the PROD from دندل because being a foreign language isn't a reason for deletion by itself, but you disagreed. I would refer you to WP:PNT: Articles that are not in English are still subject to all other forms of speedy deletion should they meet the criteria, and can be nominated for deletion by prod or afd should an editor feel they warrant deletion for a reason other than the language it is in, an article not being in English is not itself a criterion for deletion until the two week period has passed. (emphasis added). That's why I removed the PROD, as it should be listed at WP:PNT, then if it's not translated in two weeks, it can then be deleted. Seagull123 Φ 18:31, 4 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think you wasted your time pissing about like that. The point is trivial I know, but this is supposed to be an encyclopaedia written in english. Arabic belongs on the Arabic wiki really. I shall continue to nominate foreign language articles for not being written in english, not that I've seen many. -Roxy the dog. bark 18:37, 4 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I also delete sections of article written in foreign languages wherever I see them. -Roxy the dog. bark 18:39, 4 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It was pasted into en.Wiki from the Arabic Wikipedia. CSD tag template:db-foreign or template:db-a2 should be used. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:29, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks User:Kudpung I have just used one of them, but I don't actually know if the article is copied from another wiki. I think not, so I expect somebody will try to edumacate me further. ;) -Roxy the dog. bark 11:27, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:NPP. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:57, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well thanks for telling me how to spend my time, and if you feel that what is at WP:PNT is wrong, please raise it at the talk page. This is, to the best of my knowledge, what the community has decided should be done with foreign language articles. Seagull123 Φ 17:12, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome. You know, funny stuff happens here. My eyes just glazed over when I saw WP:PNT. What a load of unfathomable nonsense just to deal with something that is easily dealt with. However, in future, I shall leave it alone as this is the english wikipedia where you can post in any language you want. Another funny thing I learned this week was that despite what is said everywhere you look round here, you can post anything you like to articles because somebody will just pop along at some unspecified time in the future and supply a decent ref maybe or maybe not, but it doesn't matter really. Sheesh. Roxy the dog. bark 22:20, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

SRS title talk page

It looks like Alex Shih has closed the discussion. Can you still answer my question: @Roxy the dog: Can you please leave a brief reasoning as to why you believe it does not follow WP:COMMONNAME. From the WP:COMMONNAME page- "Wikipedia generally prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable English-language sources) as such names will usually best fit the criteria listed above." I've listed 68 sources from 13 countries. Do you want more of these sources? Or do you object to the types of sources? More countries?

This way I can continue to look into what evidence people need to reach consensus on the updated nomenclature from the sources I showed. Thanks UigeqHfejn1dn (talk) 08:01, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please use the article Talk page for content discussion. That way, consensus can be reached. -Roxy the dog. bark 08:25, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I was until Alex Shih closed it. I will start a new section there. Can you please respond to the question on the article talk page in the new section? Thanks UigeqHfejn1dn (talk) 08:32, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note that consensus has already been achieved on the subject of the article title. -Roxy the dog. bark 08:36, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I saw that Alex Shih closed it. Since this is not a permanent decision as users said they would be okay with the change in the future, I was hoping you could write something as to why you think it did not follow Common policy? This way I can continue to look into what evidence people need to reach consensus on the updated nomenclature from the sources I showed (for a future discussion). Thanks UigeqHfejn1dn (talk) 08:38, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This was a sock. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Asnjjasvonk/Archive. -Roxy the dog. bark 23:51, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Actually... (re:ANI)

I would have apologized for using the word "dishonestly"*, until they got to ANI and claimed that I'd said it "multiple times" which is straight up bullshit. But it would have taken me at least 5 hours (I was sleeping) so not holding their breath remained good advice. ;) *After accusing them of dishonesty, I realized something that made it look more likely to be caused by incompetence than disingenuity. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 14:11, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Although it was only about 7 hours ago, I had forgotten that, and had to look up my own contributions. -Roxy the dog. bark 14:17, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's a frequent occurrence with me, I understand completely. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 14:23, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Rama Sofat Hospital

This article Dr. Rama Sofat Hospital is not a promotional page. I would like to request you to kindly tell me which all points made you think that is work is for pormotion and what all changes I can made to prevent this page from getting deleted — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rama Sofat (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You may wish to comment on the article talk page, which you can do by clicking "Talk" at the top of the article(if viewing on a computer) but looking at the page, one tip off that it is promotional is "We offer". Wikipedia is not social media to tell the world about the services that your hospital offers. This is an encyclopedia, which is more selective about its content. Wikipedia articles must indicate with independent reliable sources how your hospital is notable. Please review those pages.

Since you write "we offer" I assume that you represent this hospital. You will need to review the conflict of interest policy before you edit further. If you work for the hospital, you are required by Wikipedia's Terms of Use to comply with the paid editing policy and declare such status.331dot (talk) 08:22, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you're going to be like that maybe add "is a shithead" to your signature to save others the trouble of interacting with you. Ivar the Boneful (talk) 17:53, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
