CKM (magazine)

I read previous comments about it. I think the Polish article can be a reliable source because the Polish CKM magazine is the original version. I am sure this article is reliable since I am from Poland. 77.112.90.244 (talk) 16:02, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Any open wikis including the Polish Wikipedia project can't be used directly as reliable sources as anyone can post the information. The sources in those articles can be used if they meet the requirements. I have found a source that seems reliable enough for that information, so I have added it to the article along with the reference. Regards. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 11:22, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Hardtack edit?

Hello Crystallizedcarbon! I saw you left on my page a warning about vandalism on Hardtack, but i have not edited that page (nor have i heard of a hardtack!). I suspect its because im on a public IP, but thought i'd specify that as i am the most frequent user on this IP when im not logged in, or use this for grammar fixes (my main account is User:Bryan C. W.. Cheers nonetheless! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.249.190.46 (talk) 18:49, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Hello Bryan C. W., someone has been using the same public IP that you use for repeated vandalism. An admin has blocked the IP for 31 hours to limit the damage, so you won't be able to edit with it. You should have no problem editing while logged to your account. I would recommend that whenever possible you edit using your username and not the IP to avoid any confusion.

Much obliged. Bryan C. W. (talk) 20:47, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Hello Crystallizedcarbon, thank you for your efforts in reviewing new pages!

The NPP backlog at the end of the drive with the number of unreviewed articles by creation date. Red is older than 90 days, orange is between 90 and 30 days old, and green is younger than 30 days.

Backlog update:

• The new page backlog is currently at 3819 unreviewed articles, with a further 6660 unreviewed redirects.
• We are very close to eliminating the backlog completely; please help by reviewing a few extra articles each day!

New Year Backlog Drive results:

• We made massive progress during the recent four weeks of the NPP Backlog Drive, during which the backlog reduced by nearly six thousand articles and the length of the backlog by almost 3 months!

General project update:

• ACTRIAL will end it's initial phase on the 14th of March. Our goal is to reduce the backlog significantly below the 90 day index point by the 14th of March. Please consider helping with this goal by reviewing a few additional pages a day.
• Reviewing redirects is an important and necessary part of New Page Patrol. Please read the guideline on appropriate redirects for advice on reviewing redirects. Inappropriate redirects can be re-targeted or nominated for deletion at RfD.

Behaviour in Catalan independence referendum

I bring this here because it does not belong to the talk page of the article, and applies to your attitude in that article, one that takes place out of your regular scope of your specialty of electronics as you describe on your page, i.e. downright politics. First of all, I have expressed my concern. Still you come back with all the noise, accusing me with petty COI (more noise). I do not expect you to be NPOV, I do not think I am myself, probably nobody is, but your edits are not NPOV, they seem to remove reactively what you consider to be hostile edits, POVwise (WP:BATTLEGROUND), or WP:CHERRYPICK ([1]). Some examples here, and here. Just removal of sourced information or content blanking; now that should be the last option. Keep it constructive, add the nuance necessary if something was wrong. You had actually a point that a part of the information sourced was not included in the source. But this article is nobody's courtyard.

Also long explanations and edit summaries bring confusion, and they may be held as disruptive. In case you do not understand that, I bring it here for you. Keep it short and quiet, detect the wrong information, and correct it if needed. Do not undertake sweeping removals, that comes across as confrontational, and will immediately raise red flags and suspicion. I hope this has been enlightening, and do not have to come back to the same. Thanks Iñaki LL (talk) 17:18, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

@Iñaki: Once again you choose to ignore simple facts. you have a userbox that indicates that you are against the policies of Mariano Rajoy with a ballot box that refers to the article in question. If you have such a strong bias you should at least make sure that your contributions there are not controversial and do improve the article. Yes I removed those edits because I considered them to be biased and without NPOV explaining the reasons in the edit summary. for the same reason I made this edit that another editor with views contrary to yours labeled as editing under POV for the opposite reasons. I also removed this text for similar reasons. I try to find consensus and if my explanations are long is because I think that it is better to center discussions on content and its merit to the article rather than just reverting with generic claims of WP:BATTLEGROUND. With most users that helps to reach consensus as I have achieved with other editors in the past in this an many other articles.

As far as the edit summaries this is what the help page you linked recommends:

• Summarize. Summarize the change, even if only briefly; even a short summary is better than no summary.
• Explain. Give reasons for the change, if you think other editors may be unclear as to why you made it. Citing the Wikipedia policies or guidelines that you feel justified the change may be incorporated into your explanation.
• Abbreviations. Abbreviations should be used with care. They can be confusing for new contributors. For an explanation of some commonly used abbreviations, see this edit summary legend.
• Expand on important information. Readers who see only the summary might not get the entire picture. Prevent misunderstanding: If an edit requires more explanation than will fit in the summary box, post a comment to the article's talk page to give more information, and include "see talk" or "see discussion page" in the edit summary.

I don't see where it says to keep it short and quiet, I interpret it to mean that we should explain the reasons for the change in a concise but complete way and expand in talk if necessary.

Once again, regarding the content, the statement you added should not be in the paragraph because it is not talking about misinformation it's talking about cyberatacks. It's unrelated and misleading as the source itself clearly stated that it was not talking about the alleged misinformation campaign, so why should it be used in a paragraph about misinformation?. I made a long explanation hoping you would be able to understand this simple concept, I hope I have not wasted my time again. Maybe I am missing something here, we both agreed it is sourced, but you have failed to provide any valid reason on why the information is relevant to the article since there was no claim of cyberattacks anywhere or why it is added in a paragraph about a different issue in a way that could lead to misinterpretation.

I hope you can provide some valid arguments, but again, please keep your comments focused on the content and please post them at the talk page of the article. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 18:24, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

As regards the Help:Edit_summary, please read it and read the DOs and DONTs. I will try to be short for clearness. If an edit is explained long enough to be clarifying, it is good, adding what looks like self-entitling statements accompanied with content blanking, it does not look very collaborative, especially in a controversial article where your edits show no nuance (sourced content blanking), and invariably target one of the sides presented in this article (e.g. the examples provided above). I am not talking about you and your Spanish flags, I am talking about your edits, with diffs. In this case, if you had added "this information does not belong in this section" and remove it or, better, relocated it to the right place, would have reassured much more than your actual edit summary.

"Quiet" means smooth and constructive, not content blanking and fuzz. That looks confrontational and WP:BATTLEGROUND.

Your examples provided above on other articles, tell me nothing really, and I do not feel identified with "another editor with views contrary to yours labeled as", so I am clueless.

If verified information is not totally accurate, mend it, and point to the specific problems found, try to help. If you continue to see unresponsive edits by the editor in question, go to the page of the editor in question, point to and/or warn him on the formal problems you found, like "please do not add youtube, not permitted as reliable source", "it appears to be disruptive", or similar. If the problems continue, like not listening to your advise, undo or/and try to prevent the editor from disrupting. Iñaki LL (talk) 00:44, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

Iñaki, I have to disagree with you. I explained why it did not belong in the section in a clear and concise manner making reference to our policies and without any personal atacks, that is better than just saying that it does not belong or citing WP:BATTLEGROUND as an argument. Removing recent edits made to the article that are not relevant or do not follow our policies (all made by the same WP:SPA user) is not content blanking, you mention two of the three edits made recently by Edgarmm81 who has made many biased edits and has contributed only to that article. You failed to notice that I did fix the reference of his third contribution. You also failed to notice that I myself tried to add a properly sourced statement about the Catalan politicians remanded into custody and how I argued for its inclusion at Talk:Catalan_independence_referendum,_2017/Archive_6#Remove/summarize_Aftermath_section. As far as the edit about the results it is easy to see it lacked NPOV as explained in the edit summary, even though the sum of the separatist forces retained their majority they lost two seats and their percentage of votes also fell to 47.8. I fail to see how you can call any of those edits blanking or cherrypicking (specially when I myself tried to add that information in the past). The examples I cited were to show you that I don't edit in just one side of this issue, and while the Spanish flag is not directly related to the article in question (it was in my userpage many years before this issue developed and it just shows my nationality), the statement in your user page is, so please, do center your arguments just in content and remember to asume good faith of other editors. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 17:01, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Sexy Hot Award

Hi. Sorry, I don't speak english very well and I was starts to edit recently. Really the references are the award itself and the network of the channel. But exist a independent jury formed by directors and producers[2] that defines the winners for some categories and to other the winners is defines per audience votes on internet. Do you think this information can save the article?Guilherme Burn (talk) 00:52, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Hello @Guilherme Burn: The problem is not whether the award has and independent jury. To be notable it should have received in-depth coverage by multiple reliable sources independent of the subject. Short mentions or trivial coverage is not enough to meet our general notability guidelines. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 07:52, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

New Page Review Newsletter No.10

Hello Crystallizedcarbon, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

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.

Plese do Not Delete the page

Societat Civil Catalana

I have reported your latest edit on article Societat Civil Catalana due to obvious vandalism. Filiprino (talk) 19:03, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

The article has been protected. You can not make any more edits until April 21th. Next time before ignoring and removing information think about it twice. Filiprino (talk) 19:11, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

@Filiprino: You seem to be very confused. Have you read WP:Vandalism? Accusing me of vandalism for this edit goes against WP:AGF. As you can see in this edit The answer given by the admin that responded to your request in the edit summary that removed it was "rm. No, just no. Page protected."

My interpretation is that the protection of the page was done to prevent you from reverting without first discussing in Talk.

Multiple reliable sources state that Societat Civil Catalana has in its board of directors members across the political spectrum, including Socialists' Party of Catalonia, People's Party of Catalonia and Citizens yet you insist in labeling it as right-wing based on some of its members alleged relation to another platform without providing a single reliable source that makes the direct claim that SCC is right-wing. That is original research and goes against our core policies. Adding a long list with some of the people and organizations that attended an event is excessive. Not all information even if it could be sourced is relevant to an article. All I did was adding NPOV to the page along with references and removing non-encyclopedic content. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 20:11, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

Mauricio Martínez Vargas (article deleted)

Hi Crystallizedcarbon! Thank you very much for your observations. I wrote the arguments about the importance of the article, but they were deleted. So I share by this media the arguments. If you consider that they are fine, let me know it and if you consider that they aren't enough let me know it too. Thank you.

Mauricio Martínez has participated at the international artistic project named Alzado Vertical or Vectorial Elevation of Rafael Lozano-Hemmer in 1999 in Mexico City. This project was send messages using lights with powerful beams that could be seen within a 15 kilometers. Alzado Vertical was present in many countries like Spain, France, Ireland and Canada. As entrepreneur, Mauricio Martínez and his partner business had adopted a new business model that gathers and mixes characteristics of Private Equity, Business incubator and Community. In a pragmatic way, this model is functional, the result is that the conglomerate is active. In a theorical way, this model is yet in development. To mention Mauricio Martínez and this business model, means that the union of those elements: economic and social responsibility, it is possible and they could be applying to another enterprises like spin offs or startups, that search vertical and horizontal integration, focusing at the strengthening of Community. This is a key factor, because it grows with collaborators when they become business partners of the group, they have also the possibility of home office and they get rewards like emotional salary. This way of management fits to the nowadays necessities.

Mauricio Martínez as creative director impulse Movil Evolution to promote the Mexican touristic government program named: Mexico, lives to believe it. This touristic program is famous because of his creativity and interactivity. In addition, Mauricio Martínez as a cofounder of Black Ecco Group, an enterprise that hire millennials, searches to change the negative image of this word “millennial”, understand as an immature, individualist generation that only searches shortcuts to get what they want. In the United States it is normal to find this kind of enterprise models that only hire millennials, but in Mexico it is emerging . To illustrate this argument, the company named Great Place to Work shows that in Mexico there are only 40 enterprises in the ranking of 50 to 500 collaborators.

NPR Newsletter No.11 25 May 2018

Hello Crystallizedcarbon, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

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.

Any thoughts on this category? Category:Catalan prisoners and detainees? ♫ RichardWeiss talk contribs 10:35, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello @RichardWeiss: The category is a child of Category:Spanish prisoners and detainees. I don't think it violates any of our policies. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 16:47, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

No,it just seems curious it only contains people arrested after the independence attempt but this isn't mentioned in its title. ♫ RichardWeiss talk contribs 18:23, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello @RichardWeiss: Creating a category just for them would probably not be OK. The way it was created as a regional level for a parent category, even if it now includes that subset of individuals is OK, as there is nothing to prevent adding other BLPs from Catalonia that are incarcerated to the category. Best regards. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 19:24, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

Perhaps the name could be changed to reflect its actual content? ♫ RichardWeiss talk contribs 13:33, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello @RichardWeiss: Personally I don't think that would be a good idea, that new category may not be valid. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 15:01, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Crystallizedcarbon and RichardWeiss, excuse me for entering your conversation. Look at this other category: Category:Foreign ministers of Catalonia.

Also, I have doubts about the definition of minister that this Wikipedia provides, changed in this revision without sources [7]. It does not fit with the definitions, for example, of the Oxford and Collins dictionaries.

And so, we have lists of Catalan "ministers", such as List of Ministers of Education of Catalonia, List of Ministers of Education of Catalonia, List of Ministers of Health of Catalonia, List of Ministers of Culture of Catalonia ...

Maybe I'm wrong, that's why I'm consulting you, but if I'm right, this is a misleading information. Worrying...

Best regards. --BallenaBlanca 🐳 ♂ (Talk) 17:54, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months. ()

Hello Crystallizedcarbon, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

June backlog drive

Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

New technology, new rules

• New features are shortly going to be added to the Special:NewPagesFeed which include a list of drafts for review, OTRS flags for COPYVIO, and more granular filter preferences. More details can be found at this page.
• Probationary permissions: Now that PERM has been configured to allow expiry dates to all minor user rights, new NPR flag holders may sometimes be limited in the first instance to 6 months during which their work will be assessed for both quality and quantity of their reviews. This will allow admins to accord the right in borderline cases rather than make a flat out rejection.
• Current reviewers who have had the flag for longer than 6 months but have not used the permissions since they were granted will have the flag removed, but may still request to have it granted again in the future, subject to the same probationary period, if they wish to become an active reviewer.

Editathons

• Editathons will continue through August. 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.

The Signpost

• The next issue of the monthly magazine will be out soon. The newspaper is an excellent way to stay up to date with news and new developments between our newsletters.

Hello @Marajozkee: Speedy deletion was declined so you can improve the article. The main issue is to establish notability for that, the criteria is showing that the subject has received in-depth coverage from multiple independent reliable sources. See WP:GNG and WP:AUTHOR.

Hello @Marajozkee: Please don't forget that the article needs improvement, if it is not improved it will be nominated for a deletion discussion. Has the subject received in-depth coverage from multiple independent reliable sources? --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 11:43, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Fake obsession

Whats the reason? The band is notable, can you help? GUY7ON (talk) 11:19, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello @GUY7ON: Are you related to the band? The problem is that at the moment the band does not seem to be notable according to WP:BAND. Please let me know if there is in-depth coverage by multiple reliable sources independent of the band. I could not find any, or if you think that it meets the points in WP:BAND. If not it will be nominated for deletion and the community will decide if it meets the criteria for inclusion. Regards. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 11:35, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
