Information on deleted article

Hello!

I am attempting to publish a page. I have discovered that a page with the same title was deleted in 2015 by a User. I would like to contact the user to determine more information as to why she deleted the page, but cannot find a way to contact her through the links! Any suggestions are appreciated, thank you! The User's name is "Liz". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carole Basinger (talk • contribs) 17:43, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging Liz. She'll now be notified of this discussion. But you'll have to tell her the name of the article. Maproom (talk) 17:53, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, @Carole Basinger:. You can check the status of an article's creations, protections, and deletions using Special:Log, and typing the article name in the "Target" field. There, you will might find the user who deleted the article. Good luck on your article. –eggofreason^talk 17:59, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Carole Basinger. I see from your user page and your sandbox that you are interested in Brian Rosenworcel. —teb728 t c 19:36, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Carole Basinger, the deletion log for that article shows that it was deleted because it didn't show that he was notable by the standards of WP:MUSIC. For future reference, right after Liz's name in the deletion log is a link to her user talk page; you could have contacted her there. —teb728 t c 20:10, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Someone call me? I heard a ping. The Brian Rosenworcel article was only a few sentences long and didn't indicate why he was a notable drummer and should have an article on Wikipedia. Because it was PROD'd, I can recover the page information and put it on a user page for you to work with, Carole Basinger. The article would have to be substantially improved to before it is moved back into the mainspace. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:36, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Uploading a photo to page in creation

Hello, and thank you for the friendly help. How do I upload a photo into the draft I am creating? Thank you! Zuzuroo (talk) 19:15, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Carole Basinger. Since your subject is a living person, the photo must be uploaded to Commons. If you took the photo yourself, you can upload it using Commons:Special:UploadWizard. If it was taken by someone else, have the photographer upload it there. —teb728 t c 19:48, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Responding to User:teb728 Must the photographer be a Wikipedia User? Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carole Basinger (talk • contribs) 19:04, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pls approve the article asap!

Hello everyone,

I received a message that I should connect all the articles with the sources of Draft:Benjamin Schnau . I did that already on my last change.

What are you still asking for?

User Whispering is saying it would be OBVIOUS I don't do anything to make the article better which is an assumption he is doing which is offensive and rude and completely not the case.

I did what was asked for before already and now get that as a reply. Very unsatisfying.

Pls review the page its all connected.

Thanks in advance — Preceding unsigned comment added by Franklin187 (talk • contribs) 21:28, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Franklin187: The article is probably not going to be approved right now because:

Many of the sources you cited are not reliable.
I'm having trouble finding which sources are independent.
It's unclear what sources support what article material.

I've left instructions on your user talk page that explains the simple way to write articles that will not be rejected or deleted. You just need to summarize at least three professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources that are independent of Schnau but still specifically about him. That's it. Writing unsourced material and slapping on dozens of questionable sources is a waste of your time and ours.

Also, why does it need to be approved immediately? Ian.thomson (talk) 21:34, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't say immediately I said as soon as possible which is different.

I'm having trouble finding which sources are independent What do you mean by that statement 'independent'. All these articles are independent created based on the work he did.

It's unclear what sources support what article material.

If you check the articles and sources you see the titles and the movies he was working on which is what the article is talking about??

https://www.stern.de/panorama/gesellschaft/benjamin-schnau--ein-deutscher-und-sein-harter-weg-nach-hollywood-7860132.html http://www.manilaupmagazine.com/issues/vol3-8/mobile/index.html#p=80 https://christoph-ulrich-mayer.com/unkategorisiert/von-den-besten-lernen-speaker-made-in-hollywood-2-2/ https://www.astrid-arens.com/the-german-oscars-2018/?lang=en

All these sources for example above are independent journalistic resources. I clearly don't understand what the problem is with that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Franklin187 (talk • contribs) 21:41, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks in advance for your reply. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Franklin187 (talk • contribs) 21:38, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Franklin187: What you need to do is provide in-line citations. There are two in the article, which are insufficient. Also, both of those sources are IMDB, which is not a reliable source. IMBD is written by its users, not professionals.

As I've already explained here and on your user talk page, all you need to do is summarize three professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources that are independent of and unaffiliated with Schau. These should be in-line citations.

If you get on that as soon as possible, the article can be approved as soon as possible. Ian.thomson (talk) 21:42, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have a feeling we are talking about different things here.

I'm talking about the external links you look at the reference field.

I added the journalistic sources to the reference field. Is that better? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Franklin187 (talk • contribs) 21:50, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The draft still doesn't cite any sources. Until it does, it certainly won't be approved. Maybe you need to read Help: Referencing for beginners? Maproom (talk) 21:54, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) @Franklin187: My first post says I'm having trouble finding which sources are independent because you dumped the majority of references in the external links. It's unclear what sources support what article material points to the fact that you're not using enough in-line citations. Many of the sources you cited are not reliable addresses both sections.

It isn't an either/or problem, both are problems.

The work you have done so far has been a waste of your time because you did not do it right. If you just follow the instructions I left at User_talk:Franklin187#How_to_write_articles, you will have this over with as soon as possible. Ian.thomson (talk) 21:55, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)Hi Franklin187. It might seem strange to you, but the only thing you should put under the heading References is {{Reflist}}. Each actual references goes immediately after the statement that it supports, and the system inserts a reference number and lists the references where you put {{Reflist}}. I hope this helps you to understand how Wikipedia does references. Dbfirs 22:02, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Dfirs: thanks for the info. That means I just put

right under the word 'References' and thats it? Thanks in advance.

@Dfirs: Hi, Could you pls check again now, I connected everything between sources and text of the article. Pls let me know. Thanks for the effort. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Franklin187 (talk • contribs) 23:18, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Franklin187 Do you work for or represent Benjamin Schnau? 331dot (talk) 23:25, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) @Franklin187: You've just replaced the text with external links instead of adding in-line citations to the end of the supported material. If you would just read the 8 simple steps I left on your user talk page, you'd get this over with sooner instead of wasting your time (and ours). Ian.thomson (talk) 23:28, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Franklin187 I converted the first of your references to a ref as an example of what should be done with the rest. —teb728 t c 23:35, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@teb728 Thanks for this example, that helped a lot. I did what everyone told me. Pls let me know. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Franklin187 (talk • contribs) 00:32, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I did what everyone told me. Except you didn't, though. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:34, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Ian.Thomson: I'm assuming you are talking about point 4, 5 and 6 in the link you sent me? What do these 3 points mean. Even reading them doesnt fully makes me understand what to do? If I'm assuming wrongly, I would appreciate if you would let me know what exactly you are talking about. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Franklin187 (talk • contribs) 00:45, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Franklin187 I will ask again; do you work for or represent Benjamin Schnau? 331dot (talk) 23:25, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

331dot: Yes I do! Why are you asking?

You will need to review and comply with the conflict of interest policy as well as the paid editing policy and formally declare that on your user page or user talk page. The latter is a Wikipedia Terms of Use requirement for paid editors. Thanks 331dot (talk) 01:00, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No this is a misunderstanding I don't get paid for that. What are you talking about? I do this in my free time.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Franklin187 (talk • contribs)

If you are employed or hired by him to be his agent/representative/public relations person, you are a paid editor and must declare it. We have no way of knowing if you are on your free time or not. If you are just editing at his request and are not paid or employed by him, it is still a conflict of interest that you must declare. 331dot (talk) 01:40, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Guys can someone pls do me a favor and just tell me know what is still missing on this article beside that. I got this link to this article explaining the steps of how to create an article but have no idea what that means? I added in-line citations, what else is missing. I don't get it! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Franklin187 (talk • contribs) 01:50, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are no deadlines here; feel free to take all the time you need to learn about what you have been told and make the needed declarations. 331dot (talk) 02:05, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you work for Schnau you must create a User page and declare that. Even if you are not being paid to create a Wikipedia article. David notMD (talk) 04:07, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Franklin187, after you have posted the required declarations, there are still points outlined in the post on your talk page that you have not addressed. The most important ones are a) citing sources properly, b) showing the person is notable, and c) removing promotional phrasing. You have gone some way towards a) by placing some of the URLs to your sources within <ref></ref> tags, in the relevant places, but there is still a list of unidentified URLs (not connected to any part of the article) in the "References" section, and you do have to cite the sources, that is, clearly identify them so that a reader can understand what the source is, and potentially find the information even if the URL should go away. The link to the information about that (which is also in point 4 in the list on your talk page) is Wikipedia:Citing sources. As for b) it doesn't really look as if you followed the advice in point 2. on your talk page - the sources in your article are still basically the same as they were before your draft was rejected, and as far as I can see without spending too much time looking into unidentifid URLs, there is really only one (Stern) that is independent and talks about Schnau in depth, as opposed to mentioning him in passing. This is what is required. (There are also several inadequate references on the page, including but not limited to links to Netflix, YouTube, and Wikipedia itself, which do not meet the requirements for "professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources".) As regards c), the draft is not entirely promotional, but it is also not neutrally written. That is often difficult when writing about topics where there is a conflict of interest, but it is not impossible. But again, before you look into these things you have to address the conflict of interest issue. Regards, --bonadea contributions talk 08:40, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@bonadea: First of all thanks for your comments and feedback. Very valuable. I appreciate it. I addressed the conflict of interest on the user page. And would now work on the points you made in your comments. Is that ok? Thank you in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Franklin187 (talk • contribs) 21:40, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't work for him, what is the urgency in getting the draft approved? 331dot (talk) 22:33, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Franklin187 has declared COI on User page. I cut and rearranged a lot, but still needs work, especially on referencing. And I also ask, what is with all the urgency? David notMD (talk) 12:16, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Who changed the search options and why?

The basic search I have done for years now no longer works. Now I have to select image types to search instead of just doing a search that delivers all the images mapped to a specific date. Who thought that was a good idea? Find that person who made that change and tell them they are an idiot. You took something simple and jacked it up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Which-moron (talk • contribs) 04:29, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect the changes being referred to (by this now-blocked-user) are those described here. They came about as a proposal in a Phabricator request. See here for details. Nick Moyes (talk) 02:28, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Listing cultural references from The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana

A question about the page The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana, a novel by Umberto Eco.

Umberto Eco was a semiotician: he worked with words, assigning meaning to words, connecting words by meaning, context, etc.

The novel contains hundreds of quotations/allusions from poems, novels, songs, sayings, paintings, illustrations, etc.

Intertextuality is the main thing in this novel: by identifying and connecting the quotations/allusions that spring into the main character's mind, the competent reader learns about the story and inner world of meanings of the main character, a guy who has lost his autobiographic, episodic memory but not his semantic memory, i.e. he only remembers words — in fact, a Hell or a Heaven for a semiotician.

Any competent reader can identify the quotation/allusion, the original author, the work the quotation has been extracted from or the allusion points to, the year of publication, etc. These pieces of information are not owned by Umberto Eco nor by anyone (except a few quotations might be copyrighted, i.e. owned by the original authors).

I would like to add these pieces of information to the main article, or perhaps to new articles:

Quotation/Allusion

Name of Author

Date of Birth

Date of Death

Nationality

Language

Title of the work being quoted or alluded to

Year of Publication

Website address as a reference for verification purposes

Wikipedia rules seem to allow the possibility to declare, with adequate references, the cultural connections that an author has chosen to reveal in their work, for example here or here, or even here, or here.

In the case of Umberto Eco's novel this would take up considerable space - probably many articles, perhaps one for each of the 18 chapters, as this project shows.

Would someone let me know what they think about it?, i.e. if such a project meets Wikipedia's criteria.

Unarosaèunarosa (talk) 08:05, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Unarosaèunarosa for proposing this article and beginning work on it; it could become an interesting expansion to Wikipedia's coverage of Eco. All I would say is that such an article would benefit by referring to any published critical commentary that discusses these allusions and associations in The Mysterious Flame. In carrying out an analysis like this, it is important to avoid Wikipedia's prohibition on "original research", and not to be tempted to air any new thoughts of one's own: Noyster (talk), 14:52, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comment. I have made a draft which has been rejected. I asked advice here. Unarosaèunarosa (talk) 20:22, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Unarosaèunarosa: It is much appreciated that you sought advice here. In my view, and looking at your rejected draft, your proposed article would simply be highlighting innumerable phrases used by one artist and linking them to their original sources. I see that as a bad idea unless it is especially noteworthy in its own right. I'm sure large numbers of other writers have employed the exact same device in their own works. Of course, if you can cite independent, reliable sources with a high degree of academic rigour that demonstrate why this is notable in this particular instance, then you could add or enlarge a section on the page about Umberto Eco, giving a small number of example, plus a citation to allow readers to find more for themselves. Anything else would, as Noyster stated, be Original research, which we do not permit here. I would certainly avoid bloating any content with details like DOB/Date of Death/language/nationality of the donor artist. A simple wikilink should suffice.

And, whilst I've not checked for it, I very much doubt we have an article listing all the musical references to The Smiths deployed by BBC TV naturalist Chris Packham during his BBC Springwatch broadcasts in 2009, despite there being a reliable source to demonstrate that he did. All three topics are notable, but the linkage between them is not. Whilst I'm not saying that Eco's use isn't noteworthy - you would have to work hard to demonstrate clearly that it is to have a separate article about it. (But maybe I'm just being a bit of a cultural philistine here?) Unless it were very carefully constructed, I would not be surprised if a stand-alone page along the lines you're currently thinking of didn't then quickly appear at a deletion discussion on the grounds of notability and original research. That having been said, I think it could still be a very interesting piece of research to collate and to put online in a blog or discussion forum for others to find via a normal Google search, though not here). Nick Moyes (talk) 00:46, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Nick Moyes: Thank you for taking the time to reply. I will continue this work here, where a great deal has been completed, although it probably needs many improvements, more sources and maybe a general restyling. Unarosaèunarosa (talk) 02:05, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Unarosaèunarosa: You're welcome. That looks the ideal place to publish your studies. Obviously Wikipedia doesn't regard other wikis as 'reliable', but that shouldn't stop anyone making genuine and worthwhile contributions there. Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year. Nick Moyes (talk) 02:08, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Citation and Copy Right Content Related

Hi, i want some clarification about the content to be used in the Wikipedia. For example, when some universities has used the common citations and got the content approved and when the same citations are used in our Wikipedia page it has been removed stating promotional activities. So let me know about the citations and the promotional activity content which should not be used on the wiki page — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vinoth aadaikalam (talk • contribs) 11:40, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Vinoth aadaikalam, I assume this is about the content and reference you added to Jain University. The reference was to a blog. Wikipedia requires reliable sources, as explained at here and more specifically here: a blog is very rarely a reliable source. Maproom (talk) 16:56, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:UNTV Cup Season 6 Playoffs was reviewed but not accepted

Hi,

I was wondering why the review for Template:UNTV Cup Season 6 Playoffs (still under retrieval because of deletion) was tagged as an advertisement. The UNTV Cup is a public service league with only a few advertisers, and the teams participating are Philippine government agencies that are willing to help their chosen charities in need. This is not a commercial league to start with, and it doesn't have profitable intentions. I'm trying to create playoffs templates for different seasons based on Template:UNTV Cup Season 4 playoffs, but unfortunately my first attempt was denied. I would also like to seek advise and tips on how to create sports wiki pages from the ground up, including this type of playoffs brackets.

Thank you in advance! Elivic (talk) 21:07, 21 December 2018 (UTC) elivic[reply]

Template:UNTV Cup Season 6 Playoffs has never existed; you presumably intended to refer to Draft:Template:UNTV Cup Season 6 Playoffs? --David Biddulph (talk) 21:12, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, It appears to be because this type of template does not need to exist, as the Season 4 one you linked to just uses another template without any modification. It likely has no need to exist too. It currently uses Template:RoundN, and you could try to just copyedit the season 4 one right into the article, no need for a template. WelpThatWorked (talk) 21:19, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Mgmtz23: If you meet the notability criteria for soccer players written at WP:NFOOTBALL, the best that you can hope for is to make a request at Requested Articles that someone write an article about you, or that editors take note of your career on their own and decide to write about you. You should not attempt to write an article yourself. You should also understand that it isn't necessarily desirable to want an article about one's self(please read that link); in fact, there are good reasons to not want one. As noted above, if you just want to tell the world about yourself, you should use social media or a personal website. 331dot (talk) 21:54, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi all,
I have a question related to "timeline-related" pages on wikipedia, specifically Timeline of the war in Donbass. Many articles related to the mentioned page (such as this & this) are on Special:LongPages with page sizes ranging from at least 400-500kB, the most having about 550kB. Although User:Pigsonthewing split some articles into respective months, they still have a page size of about 200kB. My point is that it seems to violate WP:TOOMUCH & WP:NOTNEWS, shouldn't timelines be a summary of what happened instead of a detailed explanation? In addition, majority of the information is added by 2 users, namely User:Pietadè & User:DagosNavy. Not all might agree with me but I would suggest that the pages to be summarised & unnecessary portions to be removed. To add on, the timeline about World War II only have a maximum page size of ~74kB. ‑‑V.S.(C)(T) 08:18, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As for me, You are welcome to summarise, and make much smaller articles (by the way, the current 'timelines' (not correct word for the war) falls into size limit), in some 80 or so years (e.g., if we take for start of the WWII JAP CHI "relations" in 1930s, then it makes some 80 yrs, give or take), to start new "counting"......
currently, people are killed, injured, displaced, in a daily basis, not only 1 (one) reader is interested in the subject (vedi page views)...
'cause, 1 (one) could consider titles like "War, Russian-Ukrainian, S01E01", et cetera...
can anyone hint some date in human history where no (known) war was "enterpris(z)ed"...—Pietadè (talk) 16:20, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And, shall we start a new article, à la, The list of non-war days in human history, my first entry would be the day Mr Jean stepped on the Moon, since, so far, no known wars on this soil?—Pietadè (talk) 17:37, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rejected article

I have written an article about Jasna Horvat which was reviewed, accepted and then removed. The user Scope creep left a comment "Fairly low H-index for subject asserting WP:NPROF. Needs proper examination by review". I'd very much like some help to put the article up again. The page URL is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jasna_Horvat — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hidrogen (talk • contribs) 11:01, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

H-index The person does not seem notable currently, and many of your sources arent great either. (Does facebook seem like a reliable source?) It was pulled for that and being reviewed by a sock. In addition, the infobox is almost useless. WelpThatWorked (talk) 16:30, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Hidrogen: Hello, and thanks for your question. One of the less obvious things about Wikipedia is that writing a new article is one of the most difficult things, normally best tackled only by editors who have been making improvements to existing articles for a while. Wikipedia has a number of policies and guidelines about new articles, and the one that matters here is called "notability" - it determines whether a particular subject should have a dedicated Wikipedia article or not. There are guidelines for different types of subjects: for academics the relevant guideline can be found by following this link to WP:NPROF. Simply being a professor or having some books published is not enough - the article needs to show how the person meets the criteria listed there. And there need to be independent, reliable sources to verify those facts. Please read those 9 criteria carefully, and consider whether there are good sources to show she meets them. If so, write the article based on those sources. If not, the article should wait until she achieves greater notability. If you're not sure, you could discuss the evidence with the original reviewer or ask again here. Good luck. --Gronk Oz (talk) 22:36, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, the original reviewer has been blocked for sockpuppetry, Gronk Oz. Hidrogen, I will add a template to the draft that allows you to resubmit it for review, but before you do so, I suggest that you ensure that it is fully supported by references to reliable sources. There shouldn't be anything in an article that can't be supported by a published source. Cordless Larry (talk) 18:45, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Can I make an article for MEMZ Trojan?

I don't know whether to put it because it's user-made. It's been spreading around the net and I'm not sure whether it should be in this Wiki. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WernerHFan (talk • contribs) 12:12, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Generally wikis like enwiki are slow (WP:NORUSH), and "in the news" can be too soon to judge how relevant yet another malware will be in the future. OTOH, it's your decision, if you have reliable + relevant 3rd party sources (cf. WP:42) and want to create an article or stub, be bold. Maybe your article will be deleted, if folks disagree with your judgement call. And don't copy the Wikia (FANDOM) malware wiki MEMZ page verbatim.

Weight in BLP

d:Q2709 and the biography of Sasha Grey state that her mass is 50kg, and that shaky info is imported by, e.g., c:Sasha Grey. There's no obvious reference and no qualifier (a wikidata "point in time" could make sense). Is this really as it should be in a BLP? It sounds stupid, but what happens if she eats more or less than usual until the end of 2018? From my POV that's nobody's business here, also see d:Wikidata:Project_chat#Wikidata:Living_people. –84.46.53.231 (talk) 13:08, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Follow-up to The Lasting Bible

Muninnbot sent a message to me, received today, 12/23/18 around 2pm (EST). Here it is, “Hi Paul G. Humber! You created a thread called The Lasting Bible at Wikipedia:Teahouse, but it has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days. You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please create a new thread.”

Muninnbot, thanks for informing me. Would you be willing to help? There had been communication (2 days ago). The one who apparently rejected my submission emailed me as follows:

From: Roger W Haworth To: Paul G. Humber Sent: Fri, Dec 21, 2018 1:07 pm Subject: Re: Please Help

I did not think that the title was User:Paul G. Humber/sandbox - I knew perfectly well that that was the title. Kindly have the decency to wait until a) the book actually becomes notable and b) someone with no CoI writes about it in Wikipedia. Roger W. Haworth

I responded to him—same day:

Thanks, Roger, for responding. When I click on my sandbox, this comes up, “A page with this title has previously been moved or deleted. If you are creating a new page with different content, please continue. If you are recreating a page similar to the previously deleted page, or are unsure, please first contact the user(s) who performed the action(s) listed below. 10:27, 19 December 2018 RHaworth (talk | contribs) deleted page User:Paul G. Humber/sandbox (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion) (thank)”
It also says, “To start a page called User:Paul G. Humber/sandbox, type in the box below.” Can you see why I thought the title was misunderstood? Why would I want to start a page called that? Since I am new to the system, I may have made an error of some kind.
The doctor who championed hand-washing was Hungarian doctor, Ignaz Semmelweis. Can you imagine the disappointment he may have felt in promoting good medical practice when experiencing rejection—maybe with words like yours, “Kindly have the decency to wait until your method becomes notable and someone other than yourself promotes it.” According to the Wiki article about him, you can see these words, “his ideas were rejected by the medical community.” Eventually, his views prevailed, but it is sad that women likely died due to the delay.
Are you a philosopher? Englishman Thomas Hobbes was, and his views were right in line with concerns I have. This 17th century philosopher, in his masterwork Leviathan, wrote, “Another general error is from the misinterpretation of the words eternal life, everlasting death, and the second death. For though we read plainly in Holy Scripture that God created Adam in an estate of living for ever, which was conditional, that is to say, if he disobeyed not His commandment; which was not essential to human nature, but consequent to the virtue of the tree of life, whereof he had liberty to eat, as long as he had not sinned; and that he was thrust out of Paradise after he had sinned, lest he should eat thereof, and live for ever; and that Christ's Passion is a discharge of sin to all that believe on Him, and by consequence, a restitution of eternal life to all the faithful, and to them only: yet the doctrine is now and hath been a long time far otherwise; namely, that every man hath eternity of life by nature, inasmuch as his soul is immortal” (p438).
By “otherwise,” he was referring to the prevalent then (and even now) view, but it seems he assumed that “everlasting” was/is a good rendering for the Greek aionios, but it is not. The Greek word means lasting and is durationally indeterminate (can refer to either temporal or eternal things). The English translation, thus, should be equivalent to the Greek, but it is not. Forever is not durationally flexible, but both aionios (Greek) and lasting (English) are. Both can accommodate durational variance—temporal or eternal. Hobbes used the word “conditional” above, in line with “conditional immortality.” I am not aware of any Bible that gets aionios (NT Greek) and olam (Hebrew OT) consistently right. I may be something like Semmelweis—discerning something that needs to change.
On p. 445, Hobbes affirmed, “But there be other places of the New Testament where an immortality seemeth to be directly attributed to the wicked. For it is evident that they shall all rise to judgement. And it is said besides, in many places, that they shall go into "everlasting fire, everlasting torments, everlasting punishments; and that the worm of conscience never dieth"; and all this is comprehended in the word everlasting death, which is ordinarily interpreted "everlasting life in torments": and yet I can find nowhere that any man shall live in torments everlastingly.”
Again, he was struggling with the mistranslation, everlasting. It is sad that translators have used everlasting rather than lasting. He may not have been aware that Jesus actually nullified the mistranslation in Lk 12:47-48 and Matt 10:28. There Jesus taught proportional punishment and eventual cessation-of-being for the wicked. The word often mistranslated “everlasting” (with durational inflexibility) means lasting.
He is not the only one to recognize this problem. There are others, like Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus of Lyon, Defender-of-the Faith Athanasius, Martin Luther, William Tyndale, William Gladstone, Richard Weymouth, Harriet Beecher Stowe, C. S. Lewis, Clark H. Pinnock, F. F. Bruce, John Stott, Philip Hughes, and many more.
Again, if you would be willing to shepherd me through this new (for me) process—how, for example, I should diminish CoI and include references to Hobbes, etc., I would appreciate it. I realize this might take some of your time. Could I pay for services? Jesus said that a laborer is worth of his hire.
Thanks for your consideration, Paul.

Muninnbot, would you be willing to help me? Thank at least for helping a little. --Paul G. Humber (talk) 20:08, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Paul, Muninnbot is a bot -- a program that automatically performs routine actions.

I can tell that you're passionate about your project. But you don't add articles on Wikipedia to gain attention and notability for your ideas; you gain attention and notability for your ideas, and then Wikipedia articles reflect that. An encyclopedia wouldn't have documented Ignaz Semmelweis's theories until evidence supporting them accrued and the profession began adopting them. Schazjmd (talk) 20:22, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Schazjmd, or are you a "bot". Sorry, I don't know much about bots. Anyway, assuming you are real (not a bot), could I write something about many down through history who have promoted conditional immortality--in addition to some who have been mentioned in the Wiki article? The Wiki article has some, but many more could be added.Paul G. Humber (talk) 21:53, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Paul G. Humber. A bot is an automatic program - a "robot": all bots (and only bots) should have user names ending with "bot". You can write about a subject if you can find reliably published sources that discuss that subject in some depth, and the you can summarise what those sources say. You should not include anything not found in your sources, and in particular you should not include any theory, argument, judgment, or conclusion which does not come directly from a single one of your sources (not even one that you reach by synthesising what two or more of the sources say). Please see Original research. --ColinFine (talk) 23:31, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Colin. I hope I am allowed to say thanks. Also, is it possible to delete my The Lasting Bible thread, or are they kept regardless? Thanks again, Paul G. Humber (talk) 23:42, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My first reaction was to dismiss you with: the only shepherding I am willing to do is shepherd you as far away from Wikipedia as possible. But I will make a few more comments. It is impossible to diminish your CoI - you edited that edition of the bible!

Get your version listed on this page.

Get your version reviewed in the Church Times, The Tablet, the Methodist Recorder, The Friend, similar publications for other British denominations and in other countries.

Hello, Thegooduser. May I wish you seasons greetings and ask if you think you've now achieved a sensible balance between your school work and your Wikipedia activities? You are certainly progressing well, and I fear your question may be a little too technical for the Teahouse. I did a search through the WP:Huggle archives, and could only find this post of any relevance. It's a good question, so I'd suggest you ask it at the Talk page of the Huggle page so that others can also benefit from the answer.

Sandbox Questions

I made a little practice edit in My Sandbox, and in trying to save it to experiment with later, I clicked the Publish button, and, naturally it was deleted by User:KylieTastic (Thanks, again, Kylie!) So now my Sandbox User:DaKine/sandbox has this big ol' Template sitting on it. So my questions are: How do I get rid of the template (I'm NOT going to resubmit), create a sandbox I can try edits out on, and save the edits to work on after I log off Wikipedia and return later without publishing the changes? DaKine (talk) 02:03, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

DaKine, I've removed the template.

Kylie came to your draft and chose to slap that decline-template because whilst publishing, you had inserted the code:-{{subst:submit}}which (post-transclusion) indicated that you have a potential article for review.

It will be prudential to note that over here, publishing is a variant of save and clicking that button (without any insertion of the above code) will just save your sandbox and let you work/practice wiki-editing without any interference. ∯WBG^converse 07:02, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User:WernerHFan

Hello, WernerHFan, and welcome to the Teahouse. The way Wikipedia works is that everything is done by volunteers: you're perfectly at liberty to ask for something, but whether it happens or not depends on whether some volunteer editor decides to pick up your suggestion. Posting your request here is allowed, but there are other places where you are more likely to find somebody to pick it up. The general place to request articles is as Requested articles; but the truth is that the take-up rate there is quite low. Other possibilities are to find an appropriate Wikiproject and ask there; or to contact the editor who created those two articles, Angel Emfrbl, and see if they are interested (I have just pinged them, so they should see this discussion). Something you can usefully do, though, is look for reliable independent sources which talk about those vocaloids; because if there are not such sources yet, then no article is possible.

Thank you for putting your user name at the end of your post here; but if you sign with four tildes (~~~~) the software will automatically add your username and the time and date. --ColinFine (talk) 09:54, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the Teahouse, আ হ ম সাকিব. Yes there is a way to count editors' contributions. On any user's page, look for the 'User Contrubutions' link on the left hand side of the page.
