Hello. You tagged this article for speedy deletion saying it 'seems to be promotional'. and it was deleted by {{u|Alexf}} without any discussion you didn't even wait for the deletion contest. Why on earth would I want to promote a product on Wikipedia?? I created this page because it's 100% essential and useful since this product has made a lot of news and is a best seller and has been recognized by critics as 'the best hair repair product'. it definitely has the required [[WP:N|notability]] and [[WP:V|verifiability]]. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Hair_care_products We have a lot of articles in category "Hair care products"] Why didn't you mark them with speedy deletion-advertising tag?? A basic Google search shows how much this article is needed on Wikipedia. I request the undeletion of [[Olaplex]].

New page reviewer granted
Hello Natureium. 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.
- 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) 20:57, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
Santina Muha
You deleted my Santina Muha page for my class project. Put it back or I will not get credit for it. I worked extremely hard on it and it is a huge portion of my overall grade. PLEASE put the page back. Santina Muha shows diversity in media. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jfgiovanucci (talk • contribs) 17:38, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) Jfgiovanucci, Natureium is not an administrator, but like any experienced user, they can recommend pages for deletion. That page should never have been published in Wikipedia article space and consequently was deleted by admin Ad Orientem in compliance of policy. The page was not supported our requirements for asserting notability through WP:Reliable sources. All the sources used are social media or blogs. The article does nottherefore (for the time being anyway) earn a place in our encyclopedia and will therefore not earn you a grade for your course. Experimental pages should be developed in WP:Draft space - perhaps you would like to inform your course manager or teacher. If you would like to recover the content of that article for future use, please ask me or Ad Orientem on our talk pages. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 19:41, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
Allergan/Naurex
I have removed the merge requests from these two pages, because Allergan is a redirect page and so cannot be merged. If there's a case for a merge, it would be between the actual article pages – Allergan, Plc and Naurex. If you still wish to propose that they be merged, please tag those articles as such and start the merge discussion on one of the corresponding talk pages. Thank you. — Smjg (talk) 00:01, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
New Page Review - newsletter No.2
- A HUGE backlog
We now have 804 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.
The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.
- Second set of eyes
Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.
- Abuse
This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and
- this very recent case of paid advertising by a Reviewer resulting in a community ban.
- this case in January of paid advertising by a Reviewer, also resulting in a community ban.
- This Reviewer is indefinitely blocked for sockpuppetry.
Coordinator election
Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.

Hi! Are you sure about your clinical trials updates to this template? For example, isatuximab is currently in Phase III [1], and labetuzumab has a Phase I/II study recruiting [2], so it's to soon to say it never got to Phase III. I haven't checked all entries, but maybe you could double-check your edit? Thanks, ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 13:57, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
- I'm sorry if I was wrong about the isatuximab. The trial statuses I got are from AdisInsight. I asked about what "never to phase III" means in WT:MED, and the consensus seemed to be that it could mean either that the drug was abandoned before it reached phase III or that it was still in development and hadn't reached phase III yet, which is why labetuzumab has a never to phase III indicator. Natureium (talk) 14:37, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
- Hm, if it means "not in Phase III yet", I assume Phase III trials for isatuximab hadn't started when you added this information. I would have interpreted the § differently, but if Doc James says so, I won't argue ;-) Thanks for the clarification! --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 14:47, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Voting for coordinators has now begun HERE and will continue through/to 23:59 UTC Monday 06 March. Please be sure to vote. Any registered, confirmed editor can vote. Nominations are now closed.
- Still a MASSIVE backlog
We now have 804 New Page Reviewers but despite numerous appeals for help, the backlog has NOT been significantly reduced.
If you asked for the New Page Reviewer right, please consider investing a bit of time - every little helps preventing spam and trash entering the mainspace and Google when the 'NO_INDEX' tags expire.

Year of death
Hi, just a minor thing. For future reference, when writing biographies of people who have passed away and you know the year of death could you please add Category:yyyy deaths in addition to Category:yyyy births?

Can I undo the revert you made to my edit?
Hi Natureium,
Thank you for reviewing my edit to the Lily Jan article. You reverted my edit. Based on the official website of the National Academy of Sciences, http://www.nasonline.org/member-directory/members/3001518.html, she was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1995, instead of 1996. Her husband Yuh Nung Jan was elected to it in 1996. http://www.nasonline.org/member-directory/members/3001702.html EdYuan (talk) 20:51, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
Sure, I'll undo it. The UCSF Website says 1996, but the NAS website has to be a more reliable source. Natureium (talk) 02:23, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

quick question an agar plate page
I saw you removed the link I added to the agar plate website. Now: is it a general rule not to use certain youtube link? Or? I added the link again, but at the bottom of the page so people can check it, but is this also not allowed? And if it is not allowed, what type of movies can be linked? There are a few science journals that actually "publish" movies, are those allowed then? Or what are the general rules?
thanks Garnhami (talk) 15:46, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
- External links aren't usually placed in the body of the article. See WP:ELPOINTS Natureium (talk) 16:11, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
New Page Review - Newsletter No.4
Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have 804 reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just 55 reviews, the 22,000 backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!
But do remember: Rather than speed, quality and depth of patrolling and the use of correct CSD criteria are essential to good reviewing. Do not over-tag. Make use of the message feature to let the creator know about your maintenance tags. See the tutorial again HERE. Get help HERE.

Alfred Sommer Page
Hi Natureium, I believe you were the person who added the "multiple issues" headers on the Alfred Sommer page. I've been working a lot on cleaning it up, adding more citations, and trying to neutralize the tone a bit. I know I could just delete the headers, but as you are an experienced Wiki editor and I am not, I'd appreciate it if you'd look at the page to see if you think it is improved and worth removing, or at least altering, the headers. Thanks. 162.129.44.120 (talk) 21:32, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
- Looks better. I've removed the tag. The issue was an editor adding a lot of material sourced to a "personal interview" and rewriting the article in the format of a story rather than an encyclopedia. Natureium (talk) 16:49, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
Page Review
Hello there, Hope all is fine with you, I created a page Representative Director (Japan), I have learned that new pages are to be reviewed, can you also review the page and recommend any change? I will be very thankful to you. The page has been linked over 15 times to other relevant Wikipedia pages. Cotespeale3er (talk) 07:44, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
- Natureium please be aware that this person just happens to be one of the people blocked as a result of the SPI I linked to below. Strange that. Jytdog (talk) 17:07, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
- I didn't want to encourage people to pester New Page Reviewers, so I decided to continue reviewing pages in the queue in order anyway. I have no idea how this person picked me. Natureium (talk) 17:32, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
New Page Reviewer Newsletter
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.

Was this accidental?
I assume, in making this edit, that you didn't intend to modify a direct quotation? Please read Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Quotations: "Quotations must be verifiably attributed, and the wording of the quoted text should be faithfully reproduced."
I assume that you were trying to revert back the IP editor 199.224.16.12's subsequent edit. That is fine and good, but please be cautious, on a fast-moving article, (1) not to remove intervening good edits when reverting vandalism; and (2) please especially don't mechanically template other users.

I responded to your comment on VM's talk page but he removed it. Here was my comment:
- The edits on Aug 6 reverted changes introduced on July 17 (diff.) Objections to the July 17 edits were raised almost immediately (talk page section) and are still under discussion. The status quo version (pre 7/17) should remain until there is consensus.
James J. Lambden (talk) 14:50, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
- Lambden, your diff does not show what you claim it shows. And you have some nerve so blatantly making revenge reverts and stalking my edits. It's obvious to anyone with a pair of eyes that you are inserting yourself into a middle of a dispute and are trying to provoke a 3RR violation. You are behaving disruptively, dishonestly and disgustingly. Stop stalking my edits.Volunteer Marek (talk) 14:56, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

3RR
Natureium, you are either completely misunderstanding what I'm saying on my talk or you're pretending that I said something I didn't.
The change by Neel.arunabh had no consensus. And was done w/o discussion. That is what was reverted. It's Neel.arunabh and you who need to get consensus for these changes. It's Neel.arunabh and you who need to open up a discussion and convince others. The version before Neel.arunabh made their edits was the consensus version.
Please stop edit warring.Volunteer Marek (talk) 14:50, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
Number of protesters
Hi, thanks for being on top of the Unite the Right rally article. Data on the number of participants was hard to find for me; this was the best I could find, and the article I cite does claim it's the number of far-right protesters. But if you have a source that claims a lower number, please add it. – gpvos (talk) 20:01, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
- I'm looking for any estimate of the number of far-right protesters that were here, but all I can find is a rough estimate that there were around 1000 people total. Natureium (talk) 20:07, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Edit warring
Your recent editing history at Gilead Sciences shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
- I removed your reversion, as I'm the one edit warring? And an edit summary like "You are thinking of this thing called THE INTERNET." is clearly not "assuming good faith". Try some civility with your fellow editors. Natureium (talk) 14:43, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
Copying public domain material requires proper attribution (Illegal immigration to the United States)
In the future, please add attribution when copying from public domain sources: simply add the template {{PD-notice}}

Reverting Howard Scher
Hey Natureium, hope you're well. I saw you reverted some inappropriate changes to Dr. Scher's article back in February, but I noticed only one of the two offending edits got rolled back. I do paid work for MSK and don't want to touch it myself, so would you mind taking a look? The last paragraph of the Career section appears to be highly biased conjecture.--FacultiesIntact (talk) 18:31, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Backlog update:
- The new page backlog is currently at 14304 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 day.
- Currently there are 532 pages in the backlog that were created by non-autoconfirmed users before WP:ACTRIAL. The NPP project is undertaking a drive to clear these pages from the backlog before they hit the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing a few today!
Technology update:
- The Wikimedia Foundation is currently working on creating a new filter for page curation that will allow new page patrollers to filter by extended confirmed status. For more information see: T175225
General project update:
- On 14 September 2017 the English Wikipedia began the autoconfirmed article creation trial. For a six month period, creation of articles in the mainspace of the English Wikipedia will be restricted to users with autoconfirmed status. New users who attempt article creation will now be redirected to a newly designed landing page.
- Before clicking on a reference or external link while reviewing a page, please be careful that the site looks trustworthy. If you have a question about the safety of clicking on a link, it is better not to click on it.

Biography of Andrea Ballabio
Dear Natureium, I'm Carmine Spamapanato, a collaborator of Professor Ballabio; you can be sure of this checkin on TIGEM website at the page http://www.tigem.it/research/faculty/ballabio in the Research Group's Tab.
Andrea Ballabio ask me to update his personal page with new information using a layout that fit the Italian Page Layout (photos and other).
I've tried to do this but after a few days from the page update someone undo the updates on the page restoring old (actual) page. Checking in the history I've seen that you do this because maybe you are the page creator.
Please let me know how I can make the requested updates and be sure that these remain.

- Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We have some guidelines here for the way we write biographies. First, we try to use neutral informative language, rather than editorializing (WP:EDITORIAL). We also need sources for things that are written, especially in biographies. Reliable sources are from trustworthy, third-party sources. Articles should be written by unaffiliated authors that can be objective and neutral. We also don't include external links in the body of the article (WP:EL). The Italian wikipedia may have different guidelines than the English wikipedia. Natureium (talk) 14:22, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Power posing
Just wanted to say thanks for writing this - I remember seeing the Singal articles on it last year and thinking it was a fascinating topic, so I'm glad to see you wrote it up. I'd love to see it submitted as a DYK if you wanted to do that. Blythwood (talk) 18:39, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Nomination of Gabriel Victora for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Gabriel Victora is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gabriel Victora until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Rathfelder (talk) 23:10, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
3RR
Your recent editing history at Fox News shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
You also appear to be following me to other articles to make revenge-reverts. Please stop. Volunteer Marek 18:26, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
- That's nice, but you are the one who started reverting. And I haven't followed you to any pages, we just happen to edit similar topics. I have seen you accusing other editors of following in other discussions, so you thinking you are a victim is clearly not just an issue with me. Natureium (talk) 18:29, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
- Your edits here look like they were made to "get back" at me for disagreeing with you on the Fox News article. Please self-revert. Volunteer Marek 18:38, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
- I won't be reverting that edit because it is constructive and improves the article. There is no way you can argue that that isn't relevant, when it's the topic of major news coverage. I already reverted the change I made to Fox News until a consensus is found on the talk page. Natureium (talk) 18:41, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
- And now you've made a three revert to a different article [4]. Volunteer Marek 19:46, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
- I didn't revert anything. I removed erroneous tags that didn't apply to the text they were attached to. Natureium (talk) 19:48, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

William Allan (geneticist)
He seems to be notable as a geneticist, not as a physician. WP:COPDEF might apply - but its not clear to me what sort of physician he was "in private practice in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he was nationally recognized for his early work in human and medical genetics". Rathfelder (talk) 22:26, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
Power posing article
Hi, I see there's been some problems with the power posing article. A new editor who I understand is (or claims to be) a professor of psychology at Northwestern added some material. I felt that some of the text he added had merit but I definitely agree with you a lot of it was vague or a bit weasel-worded and unsourced. I'd begun a cleanup of some of his text and was working on sourcing it and adding sections and links; if it's OK I'd certainly like to put some of that back in.
What I've done is say to that editor that I'd be keen to collaborate on getting towards a better version of the article but that we can't use unsourced material. I think we can certainly quote Cuddy's point of view, although I'd also be interested in adding other sources like Andrew Gelman's blog. One thing I'd like to do in the article is directly quote Carney's view that the idea is a bust, as I think that's much clearer than summarising to clearly express her view.
Let me know what you think. Blythwood (talk) 22:41, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi. Yeah that's weird. I remember this from this morning, and I could swear I de-linked it, rather than directing it to the vampire academic. None of the folks we have articles on is correct. Thanks for catching it. Onel5969 TT me 16:19, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Ways to improve NIH grants
Hi, I'm Ajpolino. Natureium, thanks for creating NIH grants!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Any chance you could add more information here? The page could be expanded with more info about the purpose of each grant, frequency/amount awarded, history of particular granting mechanisms (and of NIH grants in general) etc. Ping me if you'd like help. Happy editing!
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

List of OMIM disorders
Hi! You said:
Different purposes for the lists. This is a list of codes, many duplicating disorders and genes. That's a list of disorders.
OMIM is a database for all genetic disorders in human, hence its content can be listed in "List of genetic disorders" and we still can maintain the codes. I'm intending to merge the duplicated disorders, in a column for each. This would be the most comprehensive and organized list of all genetic disorders. Also it is worth mentioning that there is almost no viewers for the list of codes, on the other hand, the list of genetic disorders gets 1500 viewer on average everyday. Brainist (talk) 06:16, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
- I asked for opinions on how to organize the list on WT:MED and the suggestion I got was to separate them again. This makes sense to me because the list of genetic disorders is a list of disorders, and includes one or several genes in each row that are associated with that disorder. The OMIM list, on the other hand, is a list of codes. A lot of the rows have duplicate disorders because disorders are associated with more than one code, and there are even more rows for all the different subtypes of a disorder, even though they all link to the one article that covers all the subtypes. This makes for an extremely long, unwieldy list. If you want to look up a disorder by the OMIM code, a list of codes would be useful (although for that purpose, you could just use the website), but a list with dozens of entries all linking to the same page is unnecessary.

New Page Reviewer Newsletter
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.

Deletion of entry in List_of_biological_databases page
This is in regards to your deletion of my entry of Cell image library perturbation database in the list of biological databases (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_biological_databases). I fail to understand why you removed this. The database doesn't seem to be listed anywhere else on the page and it is a biological database. Tmfs10 (talk) 20:53, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
- I've further cut the list to fit within Wikipedia's guidelines (see WP:CSC). Additionally, links to external sites are not to be used in lists. Natureium (talk) 21:04, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
- I referenced a published paper in a journal with an impact factor of 7.5. I don't see why that's not notable. Tmfs10 (talk) 04:13, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
- It's not about having references that are notable, it's about the list item itself (database in this case) being notable enough that a whole article could be written about it. Natureium (talk) 15:05, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
- I would gladly write an article about it if I had the time. In the past, it's by tolerating small changes like this one that wikipedia grew. The article on the United States was a single line without any references when wikipedia started out. By setting the bar so that a whole article has to be written about something (which itself is hard as a culture of deletion seems to have evolved here) before you can even add it to a list is going to destroy the editorial culture that let wikipedia grow Tmfs10 (talk) 01:48, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Breakthrough of the Year, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cassini (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

New Years new page backlog drive
Announcing the NPP New Year Backlog Drive!
We have done amazing work so far in December to reduce the New Pages Feed backlog by over 3000 articles! Now is the time to capitalise on our momentum and help eliminate the backlog!
The backlog drive will begin on January 1st and run until January 29th. Prize tiers and other info can be found HERE.
Awards will be given in tiers in two categories:
- The total number of reviews completed for the month.
- The minimum weekly total maintained for all four weeks of the backlog drive.
NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

Deletion discussion about Biotech industry in Boston
Hello, Natureium,
I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Biotech industry in Boston should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Biotech industry in Boston .
If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
Thanks,

Could you help update some BLPs?
Hey Natureium, hope you're doing well. I'm working on updating and improving the articles for a handful of MSK doctors, (currently for Craig B. Thompson and Joan Massagué Solé) and I was wondering if you had time to check out some of my proposed changes. I saw you active on Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and you were very helpful reverting the changes for Howard Scher. I posted on their respective talk pages (Thompson, Massagué) quite awhile ago, but I haven't gotten any feedback there. My focus was on cleaning up the pages, as well as adding in missing refs. Could you take a look if you've got a minute?--FacultiesIntact (talk) 20:23, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Natureium: thank you so so much for your help! I know it was a lot of material to look over, so I really appreciate you taking that time to review it. I've got one more question for you, if I may, regarding Joan Massagué Solé. Do you think that with these new changes it would be appropriate to remove the COI maintenance tag? It was added 3 years ago, and I think the article as it stands today is significantly different from the version that prompted the maintenance tag. (Diff here.) Thanks again!--FacultiesIntact (talk) 02:47, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

your reverts on opioid epidemic
Well, thanks for nothing on my part. As for the blocked user's contributions that you obviously do not like, I kindly request you to give at least an indication of what was wrong with them, instead of just referring to the fact that he or she is blocked. In other words: please make your motivation explicit unless you want to leave the impression that there is something like ideological warfare involved here. -- Kku (talk) 15:53, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- That's correct. WP:LINK describes appropriate linking in articles. The text added by the banned user was highly promotional, sections of it were not at all related to the north american opiate epidemic (the topic of the article), contained many inappropriate external links, and more than half was an editorial.

Please discuss your reversion of my cited edits on talk
So long as the article is named USA Gymnastics sex abuse scandal, it's reasonable to presume that all related sexual abuse where the USAG heard legitimate complaints yet failed to protect those in its charge should be included. If the charges on this page are limited to the Nassar case, do you suggest a new article pagename where I can include the dozens of other proven or confessed cases? As my previous comments on the talk page can verify, I'm very sensitive to issues of BLP. Yet this story is untold on the exact pagespace where it belongs. Please comment on talk. BusterD (talk) 19:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
- I already did. Read the talk page. The article title is not plural. This article is about the specific scandal that has garnered a lot of media attention in the past several months. It's not about all abuse of gymnasts through the years. Natureium (talk) 19:28, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

Whaaaaambulance
HA! I expected this from you Natureium; I saw your large list of edits--often contested, btw--and foresaw you would intrude sooner than later. I was correct. Look, I get it. You in fact proved my KGB/Gestapo analogy: You are a closely knit group of hyper-sensitive "patrollers." You tolerate no dissension nor can see outside the box. Deleting anything remotely considered un-fawning makes it easier to avoid the larger issue and shields you from any kind of dialogue. What's amusing to me is that I really have no dog in the fight. I live in Spain. I am not part of the Stanford project whose links I posted. Just trying to add to the world of information out there, and disease research. So your deletion of a comments means nothing to me--except to confirm my stated observation that indeed, you are like members of ISIS: constituents of a small, fanatical group who demand utter obedience to the organization that they serve, and destroy all references to that which they disagree. ISIS uses explosives; you use the delete key. Power, even in the most banal form such as a Wikipedia patroller, is so intoxicating. Now run along, there are more heretics and infidels to slay!

List of scientific misconduct incidents
Can I bug you for an opinion? In editing this article, which of these two, general formats do you think is best:
Joe Shmoe (US), a nuclear physicist, committed plaigarism.(RS) Joe Shmoe. Shmoe, a nuclear physicist working in the US, committed plagiarism.(RS)
Of course if you have another format to suggest, I am all ears/eyes. Thanks. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 01:01, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – March 2018
News and updates for administrators from the past month (February 2018).
- Lourdes†
- AngelOfSadness • Bhadani • Chris 73 • Coren • Friday • Midom • Mike V
- † Lourdes has requested that her admin rights be temporarily removed, pending her return from travel.
- The autoconfirmed article creation trial (ACTRIAL) is scheduled to end on 14 March 2018. The results of the research collected can be read on Meta Wiki.
- Community ban discussions must now stay open for at least 24 hours prior to being closed.
- A change to the administrator inactivity policy has been proposed. Under the proposal, if an administrator has not used their admin tools for a period of five years and is subsequently desysopped for inactivity, the administrator would have to file a new RfA in order to regain the tools.
- A change to the banning policy has been proposed which would specify conditions under which a repeat sockmaster may be considered de facto banned, reducing the need to start a community ban discussion for these users.
- CheckUsers are now able to view private data such as IP addresses from the edit filter log, e.g. when the filter prevents a user from creating an account. Previously, this information was unavailable to CheckUsers because access to it could not be logged.
- The edit filter has a new feature
contains_all
that edit filter managers may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string.
- Following the 2018 Steward elections, the following users are our new stewards: -revi, Green Giant, Rxy, There'sNoTime, علاء.
- Bhadani (Gangadhar Bhadani) passed away on 8 February 2018. Bhadani joined Wikipedia in March 2005 and became an administrator in September 2005. While he was active, Bhadani was regarded as one of the most prolific Wikipedians from India.
Glad to see someone is watching the article. I'm trying to fix the use of DISPLAYTITLE and after I made the change, I was walking through the history and found that the article and references appear to be inconsistent as to whether there is a space after the methyl and whether there is a hyphen prior to the O. Could you please take a look at making the article consistent? Naraht (talk) 15:50, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
- In my experience, methyltransferase is more common (and has 5000 results on pubmed vs 800, and even more extreme on clinicalkey, with 5300 vs 38), although I believe either could be accepted. However, when you changed it, it was displaying with an underscore between methyl and transferase. It seems to also be more common with a hyphen on both sides of the O, although I think both are accepted as well. I can't search that because the hyphens aren't respected by the search engine. Natureium (talk) 15:56, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, I messed that up by including the underscore instead of space. But glad this has come to at least two user's attention who know more about the subject than I.Naraht (talk) 17:12, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
Uncvility and personal attacks
On Talk:List of school shootings in the United States, you've accused me of POV pushing without evidence, and you've labelled a list of criteria as a "tutorial", insinuating that I'm incapable of reading and understanding for myself. If you continue this sort of behavior, I'll ask for sanctions at WP:ANI. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 19:59, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
- You can ask for whatever you want. Arguing for inclusion of something that doesn't fit the inclusion criteria in a politically charged list is POV-pushing. "Tutorial" doesn't mean you are incapable of reading. It means that I broke down the criteria in a way that demonstrates what is and isn't inclusion criteria.

- That someone disagrees with you over what fits the inclusion criteria is not POV-pushing. You also said I was warned over it previously, which isn't true. Please retract this claim. If it were, I could turn it around and say that you are POV-pushing by trying to have an entry removed despite it clearly fitting the inclusion criteria. Calling your table a "tutorial" is patronizing. In this case, the content is also potentially dishonest, as you've left out "mass" in the one place where it matters, despite it clearly being in the text, and my insistence that this incident qualifies for the list since it's not a "mass shooting by...". –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 20:12, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Clarification of wording of Barbara's topic ban
Sandstein has closed the User:Barbara (WVS) ANI discussion with a topic ban worded "is topic-banned (WP:TBAN) from medical articles". Following discussion with Sandstein regarding the scope of that topic ban (User_talk:Sandstein#What_the_topic_ban_covers), it is felt that further wording is required. Therefore it is proposed that the wording of the topic ban is amended to read:
"By consensus of the community, Barbara (WVS) (talk · contribs), also editing as Bfpage (talk · contribs), is topic-banned (WP:TBAN) from health and medical topics, including anatomy and sexuality, broadly construed, and is also banned from interacting with Flyer22 (talk · contribs) (WP:IBAN)."

Contest Deletion of Tellius
Hello Natureium,
I would like to contest the deletion of Tellius page. This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because it is an informative page just like any other SaaS software vendors in the analytics market. Gartner is calling this next generation of Analytics disruption as Augmented Analytics. If you search wikipedia, you will see similar pages from other software vendors like Thoughtspot, SiSense, Zoomdata, etc. It would be fair to have an page for Tellius as well. I've added additional references about the company, funding, investors, team, releases, news etc.
If possible please let me know how or what I need to do to make sure that the page stay up so that it will be fair to users who search for analytics, business intelligence, augmented analytics, business analytics, saas software, etc.
Also, Looks like this page was marked for deletion in 2007 as the earlier reason for deletion was that Tellius was an imaginary location, fictional world, etc. But now, Tellius is a company that develops business intelligence and analytics software and is headquartered in Reston, Virginia.

New Page Review Newsletter No.10
ACTRIAL:
- ACTRIAL's six month experiment restricting new page creation to (auto)confirmed users ended on 14 March. As expected, a greatly increased number of unsuitable articles and candidates for deletion are showing up in the feed again, and the backlog has since increased already by ~30%. Please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day.
Paid editing
- Now that ACTRIAL is inoperative pending discussion, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary.
Subject-specific notability guidelines
- The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
- Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies. A further discussion is currently taking place at: Can a subject specific guideline invalidate the General Notability Guideline?
Nominate competent users for Autopatrolled
- While patrolling articles, if you find an editor that is particularly competent at creating quality new articles, and that user has created more than 25 articles (rather than stubs), consider nominating them for the 'Autopatrolled' user right HERE.
News
- The next issue Wikipedia's newspaper The Signpost has now been published after a long delay. There are some articles in it, including ACTRIAL wrap-up that will be of special interest to New Page Reviewers. Don't hesitate to contribute to the comments sections. The Signpost is one of the best ways to stay up date with news and new developments - please consider subscribing to it. All editors of Wikipedia and associated projects are welcome to submit articles on any topic for consideration by the The Signpost's editorial team for the next issue.

Administrators' newsletter – April 2018
News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2018).
- 331dot • Cordless Larry • ClueBot NG
- Gogo Dodo • Pb30 • Sebastiankessel • Seicer • SoLando
- Administrators who have been desysopped due to inactivity are now required to have performed at least one (logged) administrative action in the past 5 years in order to qualify for a resysop without going through a new RfA.
- Editors who have been found to have engaged in sockpuppetry on at least two occasions after an initial indefinite block, for whatever reason, are now automatically considered banned by the community without the need to start a ban discussion.
- The notability guideline for organizations and companies has been substantially rewritten following the closure of this request for comment. Among the changes, the guideline more clearly defines the sourcing requirements needed for organizations and companies to be considered notable.
- The six-month autoconfirmed article creation trial (ACTRIAL) ended on 14 March 2018. The post-trial research report has been published. A request for comment is now underway to determine whether the restrictions from ACTRIAL should be implemented permanently.
- There will soon be a calendar widget at Special:Block, making it easier to set expiries for a specific date and time.
- The Arbitration Committee is considering a change to the discretionary sanctions procedures which would require an editor to appeal a sanction to the community at WP:AE or WP:AN prior to appealing directly to the Arbitration Committee at WP:ARCA.
- A discussion has closed which concluded that administrators are not required to enable email, though many editors suggested doing so as a matter of best practice.
- The Foundations' Anti-Harassment Tools team has released the Interaction Timeline. This shows a chronologic history for two users on pages where they have both made edits, which may be helpful in identifying sockpuppetry and investigating editing disputes.

Albert Krause Article Nominated for Deletion Albert_Krause
I am the great grandson of Albert Krause, artist and sculptor. Thank you for the note. I have made edits to include a reference (documentation) for one of his works of art. I have removed anything pertaining to a work of art that cites specific locations that we cannot support at this time. Please let me know of other changes that are required to keep this page. I would like to continue adding noted work as I obtain further documentation. Thank you. Detty1024 (talk) 12:56, 10 April 2018 (UTC) Detty1024
- @Detty1024: Thanks for trying to improve this article. We need secondary sources about his work to show that he is a notable artist. WP:ARTIST can give some examples. It's also considered a COI to create an article you have a personal connection to, so be aware of these guideline on that page as well. Natureium (talk) 14:56, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Natureium: This is great info. Thanks for sharing. I have uploaded a pic of his obituary and will search for anything else that would confirm that he was a sculptor. I was hoping the Thank You letter from John_Wanamaker would help my case. Let me know if some of the documents provided are sufficient to at least save this page from deletion. Thanks again for your help on this.
- @Detty1024: I've removed the proposed deletion tag. I believe these references show notability, but it would be helpful if you could cite things like where the obituary was published, if you have that information. Natureium (talk) 15:49, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Natureium: That's fantastic! I will certainly try to locate a full copy of the obituary so that we can confirm. Thanks again for your help. Detty1024 (talk) 15:58, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Aboriginal Australian religion

I see you reviewed Aboriginal Australian religion and nominated it for speedy deletion .. with thanks for notifying me on my talk page by the way ..

Natureium-Thanks for the five big re-writes on the article I started. For the record I agree with 4 out of 5. Since we are now officially co-authors can I get a "keep" from you in the articles for deletion page for this article? GuinnessFreak (talk) 01:49, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
- I've tried to clean up the article and make it somewhat less promotional and more factual. Whether or not to keep an article is based on wikipedia guidelines. If reputable sources can be found that support the notability of the subject, the article should be kept. Natureium (talk) 03:11, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
- Natureium - The article was flagged for deletion for being promotional, not a notability problem. If you think there's a notability problem you should flag it for deletion accordingly. The article was only flagged for being promotional. Also note there are 58K FACS and approximately 12K FACOG. The number that have both is quite low, less than 200 by my estimate. I thought "few" was a good estimate. GuinnessFreak (talk) 04:11, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
- When brought to AfD, the article is reviewed according to all wikipedia policies, not just the original tag. Promotional articles often have concerns relating to notability. Natureium (talk) 13:43, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

- AbuseFilter has received numerous improvements, including an OOUI overhaul, syntax highlighting, ability to search existing filters, and a few new functions. In particular, the search feature can be used to ensure there aren't existing filters for what you need, and the new
equals_to_any
function can be used when checking multiple namespaces. One major upcoming change is the ability to see which filters are the slowest. This information is currently only available to those with access to Logstash. - When blocking anonymous users, a cookie will be applied that reloads the block if the user changes their IP. This means in most cases, you may no longer need to do /64 range blocks on residential IPv6 addresses in order to effectively block the end user. It will also help combat abuse from IP hoppers in general. This currently only occurs when hard-blocking accounts.
- The block notice shown on mobile will soon be more informative and point users to a help page on how to request an unblock, just as it currently does on desktop.

Contested deletion of Root Insurance Company
Hi Natureium,
Thank you for alerting me about the contested deletion. I have revised wording that may have appeared promotional and have backed up all statistics and quotes with reputable external citations. Can you please help me identify which sections or words are too promotional? I've seen very similar language on similar content sites so I'm confused about how to make it sound less promotional when it's simply describing the business model with verified sources. I'll be happy to adjust. Thank you for your assistance.

Hello. It appears your talk page is becoming quite lengthy and is in need of archiving. According to Wikipedia's user talk page guidelines; "Large talk pages become difficult to read, strain the limits of older browsers, and load slowly over slow internet connections. As a rule of thumb, archive closed discussions when a talk page exceeds 75 KB or has multiple resolved or stale discussions." - this talk page is 111.2 KB. See Help:Archiving a talk page for instructions on how to manually archive your talk page, or to arrange for automatic archiving using a bot.

You just Nominated ILL SMITH for Deletion
I am devastated you led to the deletion of this page. Your reasons were vague and non-specific. You were not even able to identify anything that was promotional in nature. I appreciate what you are doing here as a wiki editor but you barely consider providing detailed information that would help people contribute to Wikipedia accordingly. You are not helping the Wikipedia community by just doing what your power allows. Most of the articles posted here are in the best interest of the entire community. I would really appreciate if you spared some time to talk to me. We all need each other and we commit to observing all rules.
Speedy deletion of California Lawyers Association
Thanks for reaching out. Governor Jerry Brown created the California Lawyers Association when he signed SB 36 legislation back in October, 2017. The entity peeled off from The State Bar of California (which is featured in Wikipedia), taking with it the Sections (Continued Ed) and California Young Lawyers Association. The California Lawyers Association has nearly 100,000 members, and is the second largest bar association (second only to the American Bar Association), and is larger than other volunteer bar associations featured in Wikipedia, including:
New York State Bar Association (Lawyer Society) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_State_Bar_Association
State Bar of Texas (Lawyer Society) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Bar_of_Texas
The Florida Bar (Lawyer Regulator) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Florida_Bar
Given the size and the reach of the second largest voluntary bar association, I was surprised that there wss not an existing Wiki entry. The movement to create the California Lawyers Association and peel it off from the State Bar of California was a significant event:

NPR Newsletter No.11 25 May 2018
ACTRIAL:
- WP:ACREQ has been implemented. The flow at the feed has dropped back to the levels during the trial. However, the backlog is on the rise again so please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day; a backlog approaching 5,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
Deletion tags
- Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders. They require your further verification.
Backlog drive:
- A backlog drive will take place from 10 through 20 June. Check out our talk page at WT:NPR for more details. NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.
Editathons
- There will be a large increase in the number of editathons in June. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.
Paid editing - new policy
- Now that ACTRIAL is ACREQ, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. There is a new global WMF policy that requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
Subject-specific notability guidelines
- The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
- Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
Not English
- A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, tag as required, then move to draft if they do have potential.
News
- Development is underway by the WMF on upgrades to the New Pages Feed, in particular ORES features that will help to identify COPYVIOs, and more granular options for selecting articles to review.
- The next issue of The Signpost has been published. The newspaper is one of the best ways to stay up to date with news and new developments. between our newsletters.

Page Mover granted
I asked User:TonyBallioni about this, and he said it was all right to go ahead. Per your January request and your recent comment at the Signpost discussion I assume you are still interested.
Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, and move subpages when moving the parent page(s).
Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect
is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.
Useful links:
- Wikipedia:Requested moves
- Category:Articles to be moved, for article renaming requests awaiting action.
If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing!
Tony's advice is to use RM instead of a round-robin for anything controversial. As for myself, I have quite a few edits at WP:RMTR but I've never given out the page mover right before, so I hope it is uneventful and works as expected. Let me know of any problems. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 22:42, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks. I assure you it will be quite boring and uneventful. Natureium (talk) 23:55, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – June 2018
News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2018).
- None
- Al Ameer son • AliveFreeHappy • Cenarium • Lupo • MichaelBillington
- Following a successful request for comment, administrators are now able to add and remove editors to the "event coordinator" group. Users in the event coordinator group have the ability to temporarily add the "confirmed" flag to new user accounts and to create many new user accounts without being hindered by a rate limit. Users will no longer need to be in the "account creator" group if they are in the event coordinator group.
- Following an AN discussion, all pages with content related to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, broadly construed, are now under indefinite general sanctions.
- IP-based cookie blocks should be deployed to English Wikipedia in June. This will cause the block of a logged-out user to be reloaded if they change IPs. This means in most cases, you may no longer need to do /64 range blocks on residential IPv6 addresses in order to effectively block the end user. It will also help combat abuse from IP hoppers in general. For the time being, it only affects users of the desktop interface.
- The Wikimedia Foundation's Anti-Harassment Tools team will build granular types of blocks in 2018 (e.g. a block from uploading or editing specific pages, categories, or namespaces, as opposed to a full-site block). Feedback on the concept may be left at the talk page.
- There is now a checkbox on Special:ListUsers to let you see only users in temporary user groups.
- It is now easier for blocked mobile users to see why they were blocked.
- A recent technical issue with the Arbitration Committee's spam filter inadvertently caused all messages sent to the committee through Wikipedia (i.e. Special:EmailUser/Arbitration Committee) to be discarded. If you attempted to send an email to the Arbitration Committee via Wikipedia between May 16 and May 31, your message was not received and you are encouraged to resend it. Messages sent outside of these dates or directly to the Arbitration Committee email address were not affected by this issue.
- In early May, an unusually high level of failed login attempts was observed. The WMF has stated that this was an "external effort to gain unauthorized access to random accounts". Under Wikipedia policy, administrators are required to have strong passwords. To further reinforce security, administrators should also consider enabling two-factor authentication. A committed identity can be used to verify that you are the true account owner in the event that your account is compromised and/or you are unable to log in.
Marie Canavaggia notability guidelines
Dear Naturium, I'm confused by your usage of the notability tag on the page I created about Marie Canavaggia, which is a first for me. It is, essentially, my translation of the equivalent French-language Wikipedia version which has existed for seven years. Can you please clarify? Thank you. Dm4244 (talk) 15:51, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
- I can't read or access most of the references, so I'm hoping that someone else can and will be able to tell if the references are about her (which would show notability), or if they merely mention her in the context of someone else. Most of the reference titles have another person's name on them, so this adds to my confusion. If you believe that there is enough information focusing on her, you can go ahead and remove the notability tag. Natureium (talk) 17:33, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

Your request at WP:CHU/S
Regarding this request. Why not write to WP:RFO. As an admin I can delete revisions but I don't know how to get rid of bad usernames. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 19:03, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
- That's why I've posted at the changing usernames board. I'm fairly certain it's not an oversight thing, but I guess if one of the renamers declines my request, I'll look elsewhere. Natureium (talk) 19:23, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
- Hello, you renaming request has been rejected because it was not formatted correctly. If you still want to change username, then you have to file another request, for a more private request you can choose first way in all four listed at changing username. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 01:54, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
- Hello Natureium. I see that the global renamer took the request off the board but the account with the attack name is still there. I wrote to WP:RFO to see if they can suppress it. EdJohnston (talk) 01:57, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

- The offensive part is that Natureium isn't even a he! Natureium (talk) 17:16, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
- No luck with Oversight. They suggested it didn't fall within their mandate. I can't find any advice on deletion of horrible user names. Your complaint is (I guess) that the bad name shows up in Special:ListUsers when looking for your own name. Of course, the beginning of the listing of Special:ListUsers is full of rather obscene stuff that stays there forever. There was a proposal at WP:VPT in 2008 by User:BD2412 to do something about it but it didn't proceed. EdJohnston (talk) 17:46, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
- If there were ever a time for IAR is is here. Natureium do you mind if I post at AN and say the offensive name there? That should focus attention and perhaps getting more heads on this can solve it. Jytdog (talk) 18:04, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
- @EdJohnston: It shows up whenever I type my name in as the performer to look up any logs, and I always wonder what I did to make them mad enough to do that. @Jytdog: I don't mind. I find it funny that someone revdelled my request at CHU presumably because it was offensive, but not offensive enough to change. Natureium (talk) 18:15, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

- @AddWittyNameHere: Thanks! I think I've seen a template somewhere that just requires the revision number. Do you happen to know what that is? Natureium (talk) 02:28, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
- Not from top of my head, but a quick browse lead me to Template:Diff2 which I think fits what you mean. Can be used with just the diff-ID (like [8], leads to my original post here), does have additional optional parameters for linking to sections and giving the diff a name rather than number.

Soapboxing
Hi Natureium! Just wanted to ask what exactly you see as "soapboxing" about correcting a statement that is inherently contentious and unverifiable? Here I refer specifically to the claim on the Milli-Q page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milli-Q)that Milli-Q is a generic trademark. This is not supported by verifiable sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr.thomsentrampedach (talk • contribs) 17:47, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
- You have made a series of edits promoting Merck's trademarks. Wikipedia is not for the promotion of companies. Natureium (talk) 18:45, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
While I fully support your wish to keep Wikipedia free from advertising etc., I would object to your suggestion that pointing out the fact that a term is a registered trademark constitutes promotion. I'd argue this falls in the "fact" category, and not including this in an article is more misleading than not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Markrfi (talk • contribs) 15:51, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
- How about mentioning the trademark in a section of the article about the commercialization or history of a product rather than in the beginning of the article? People will probably want to know what a product is and a few descriptive facts before getting a more in depth background. I agree that trademark status belongs in an encyclopedia, but I think it can be presented in a way that doesn't make it seem like it's the most important thing for a reader to know. Thanks, Natureium (talk) 15:56, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
Agreed, thanks for your input! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Markrfi (talk • contribs) 16:18, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Olaplex
Hello. You tagged this article for speedy deletion saying it 'seems to be promotional'. and it was deleted by Alexf without any discussion you didn't even wait for the deletion contest. Why on earth would I want to promote a product on Wikipedia?? I created this page because it's 100% essential and useful since this product has made a lot of news and is a best seller and has been recognized by critics as 'the best hair repair product'. it definitely has the required notability and verifiability. We have a lot of articles in category "Hair care products" Why didn't you mark them with speedy deletion-advertising tag?? A basic Google search shows how much this article is needed on Wikipedia. I request the undeletion of Olaplex. CerberaOdollam (talk) 05:33, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
