About Happy Science article

Dear Bonadea, Thank you for your contributions.

You claim that ‘Happy Science is widely criticized as a cult’ at the beginning in the article. However, I think it is a slightly exaggerated expression, because the circulation of these references is less than 0.5% population in each countries as follows. On the viewpoint of circulation, it’s not ‘widely’. So it need not to be described at the beginning, and the expression at the begging is misleading for many readers. I was wondering if you could replace it with another expression or delete it based on the following investigation.

To save space on the page, I am collapsing the numbers you give above, but they are easily acessible by clicking "show" in the box.

Thank you very much for opening a discussion instead of just deleting the word. A few points here. The word "widely" does not originate with me, I have just restored it several times over the past several months when the article, sadly, has been vandalised by people who seem to wish to remove sourced criticism of the organisation (I know that is an odd thing for anyone to do in an encyclopedia, but it does happen). It is not I who claim it, the claim is based on several different reliable sources. Secondly, the numbers you present above are a clear-cut example of original research, which we can never use, and in addition, circulation figures are not a good measure of reliability - the most prominent example being the Daily Mail which has a large circulation but is not considered a reliable source on Wikipedia. One reason why circulation figures are unreliable is that they sometimes include online circulation, and sometimes not. This is not an invitation for you to provide sources for the figures, though - it would still be original research. The fact that is missing from your reasoning above is that it is very difficult to find reliable, independent sources that do not claim that HS is a cult (even if that exact term is not used). If the larger papers haven't discussed HS, it's because it is a marginal religious movement, not because the cult claim is inappropriate.

You also employ a specific and narrow interpretation of "widely". The word can equally well refer to the case that media in Japan, Uganda, Australia, the UK, and the US have all used the term "cult". In the interest of neutrality, Wikipedia uses the phrasing currently in the article, instead of simply calling the movement "a cult"; the encyclopedia has to be neutral, and so the phrase "widely critizised as" is used instead. --bonadea contributions talk 09:21, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

Dear Bonadea, thank you for your quick response and a polite answer. I have understood Circulation and reliability. Follow your precious advice, I've found some independent widely sources that are indirect evidence 'HS is not a cult'. For example, introduction of HS (Fox TV, US), HS'lecture live (10 or more stations including national broadcasts and a lot press reported about it), HS's book introduction and so on. Because they treat HS favorably, they are indirect evidence about it. From the perspective of neutrality, not the purpose of publicity, I think we should add such sources. May I add some describes in Controversy Section? Or Is it better for us to discuss a little more? Thank you.Rithtree (talk) 14:44, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

Sir please tell me the steps so that i can follow thank you sir. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Majaz- Ae Gham-e-Dil Kya Karun (talk • contribs) 11:27, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

@Majaz- Ae Gham-e-Dil Kya Karun: Thank you for your message. I suggest that you start by reading - carefully - the advice you were given at Wikipedia:Teahouse#Majaz- Ae Gham-e-Dil Kya Karun. ColinFine gave you some very specific step-by-step instructions there. Also make sure that you have read Wikipedia:Your first article, as was also suggested to you in that section. You can also simply wait for your draft to be reviewed (well, you will have to do that in any case) and see what the reviewer says. But since the draft is in fact not well-sourced at all, it would be better if you worked on it, and then perhaps it will be approved for mainspace when it is reviewed. To improve it, again, read the information given to you at the Teahouse. Thank you. --bonadea contributions talk 11:33, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

unhelpful

why delete the whole section on field spaniels when you dont like one of the references. The description of the dog, its origination and colours are wrong. I am assuming you dont like the fact that the field cockers are referencing this, but it is a new issue, new slang, and causing a real confusion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kriswarry (talk • contribs) 13:54, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Please use the article's talk page to discuss this. Splitting discussions into several different parts means that most of the participants won't be able to see most of it. I have already written an explanation on the talk page of exactly what is the problem with the edit I reverted (well, some of the issues, anyway.) If you read that, you'll get answers to your question above. --bonadea contributions talk 13:59, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Hello Bonadea, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update:

• The new page backlog is currently at 12713 pages. Please consider reviewing even just a few pages each day! If everyone helps out, it will really put a dent in the backlog.
• Currently the backlog stretches back to March and some pages in the backlog have passed the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing some of them!

Outreach and Invitations:

• If you know other editors with a good understanding of Wikipedia policy, invite them to join NPP by dropping the invitation template on their talk page with: {{subst:NPR invite}}. Adding more qualified reviewers will help with keeping the backlog manageable.

New Year New Page Review Drive

• A backlog drive is planned for the start of the year, beginning on January 1st and running until the end of the month. Unique prizes will be given in tiers for both the total number of reviews made, as well as the longest 'streak' maintained.
• Note: quality reviewing is extremely important, please do not sacrifice quality for quantity.

General project update:

• ACTRIAL has resulted in a significant increase in the quality of new submissions, with noticeably fewer CSD, PROD, and BLPPROD candidates in the new page feed. However, the majority of the backlog still dates back to before ACTRIAL started, so consider reviewing articles from the middle or back of the backlog.
• The NPP Browser can help you quickly find articles with topics that you prefer to review from within the backlog.
• To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.

'No fancy template...

It's that time of the year again, Bonadea. No fancy template, but just wishing you all the best for the holidays and the new year, and thanking you for all you do. It's probably a lot warmer where I am than where you are 😎 Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:22, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

Happy Holidays

From Stave one of Dickens A Christmas Carol Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail. Mind! I don’t mean to say that I know, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a door-nail. I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade. But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb it, or the Country’s done for. You will therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that Marley was as dead as a door-nail. So you see even Charles was looking for a reliable source :-) Thank you for your contributions to the 'pedia. ~ MarnetteD|Talk 00:28, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

Request for confirmation of the page.

Thank you for your edits. I request you please have a review on the page Jatin Wahane < ref>https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jatin_Wahane</ref>. Ken Moss Jr (talk) 23:26, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

I have reviewed it the article, and its sources. There is one paper published by Wahane, and that is a primary source that can't be used to show anything except that he's had that one paper published. There is a speakersbase.com listing, which is also a primary source and doesn't show anything at all. And finally there is a trivial mention of his name in a newspaper article that's not about him. What is needed is several independent reliable sources that write about him in depth, and the article has no such source. --bonadea contributions talk 23:35, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

Clarence Article Deletion

Greetings Bonadea,

I am having a hard time writing my article to comply within Wikipedia's guidelines. I've accomplished work with very notable people, and my article keeps getting flagged and removed.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clarence McNair (talk • contribs) 23:31, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Bonadea,

In this talk page, I have included the information to insert for the Clarence McNair page. Can you review for submission and contest the deletion of this page please and thank you!

Please stop adding text about yourself to Wikipedia pages. A lot of information was posted to your user talk pages about why autobiographies are a bad idea; you removed that info so presumably you have seen it. Wikipedia is not a medium to promote yourself. --bonadea contributions talk 09:24, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
