No. Not at all. scope_creep^Talk 21:03, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I found an article on the web that had been written by a geologist and based the stuff on that. I was fairly straighforward. scope_creep^Talk 21:10, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Luftnachrichten Abteilung 350

Hi,

first of all: Sorry for the confusion I've created by modifying the spelling of some words. I didn't realise that one of these words was actually the name of a file, which must of course not be changed. Shame on me.

I've seen that you reverted my current try to put this right. However, I think that in fact outstation is correct and not out-station, although I'm not a native speaker: See e.g. Merriam Webster or Wiktionary. Also I've made some other changes, f.i. High frequency into high frequency. Although all Wikipedia articles start with a capital letter, therefore High frequency, in the article it is then spelled with a lower caps h. high frequency also is a valid link.

Also, I've deleted one instance of the picture "Luftwaffe Radio Communication Network of VHF and Radar Intercept Out-Stations, Signals Regiment South.svg" because it was two times in the article.

Regards --Cyfal (talk) 12:09, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Cyfal: The article needs tons of work. Your very welcome to help. scope_creep^Talk 12:26, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the explanation! So in some cases in Luftnachrichten Abteilung 350, it should be spelled out-station (when its a named item, a designed product, that could be duplicated), and in some cases outstation (when its an outpost), as far as I understand. I applied now my former modification again, but this time leaving the all stations untouched. Thank you again --Cyfal (talk) 12:39, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

File:Leonard Findlay.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Orphaned non-free image File:Schema der Tastenübertragung beim Radio-Klavier.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Schema der Tastenübertragung beim Radio-Klavier.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:59, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Image without license

Unspecified source/license for File:Sir Comyns Berkeley.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Sir Comyns Berkeley.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: Once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot ^{(Talk • Contribs • Owner)} 19:46, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Abbey of Saints Cornelius and Cyprian

Hello, Thank you for your interest in this article. It was posted by me as a new article but the reviewer decided it was not good enough so made it into a draft. Then when the draft was submitted it was not accepted on the grounds of inadequate sourcing. As the French article lacked inline citations and I had no access to any printed sources it was not possible to do much about that. Good luck with expanding it.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 10:25, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Neo-Bechstein

On 23 February 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Neo-Bechstein, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Neo-Bechstein was a pioneering electric grand piano in which the mechanics of the piano were no longer involved in the direct production of sound? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Neo-Bechstein. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Neo-Bechstein), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Looking at Special:Contributions/Camentoogi ...

Do you get a hint of writing under contract? Just weird to pick an AFC as your second article, after your first was a more obscure 'academic'. I then notice them start another sandbox item that hit a spam blacklist item. I think that it smells, though I am a suspicious from my anti-abuse background. — billinghurst sDrewth 11:49, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

List of bays of Scotland

Just wanted to say I understand your point, but as they are right now, that's not what it looks like. It simply looks like there are duplicate entries in the list. To disambiguate them (even if it is a redlink), if you know what body of water they are on, that would do the trick. For instance, if one was on Loch Fyne, you could say, South Bay (Lock Fyne). Or something like that, I'm not really sure of the exactly correct titling guideline for bodies of water.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:02, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Onel5969: Yip. There is that one problem certainly. I started doing coordinates later, probably too late in the day really. The other problem I've got is I dont even know if the list is complete. I'm comparing it with the one in List of bays of the British Isles which I filled several years ago, but that has several missing, even I though I went over it several times, mostly due to a misunderstanding of Gealic place names. I really dont want stuff going missing. Thanks for the help. I plan to put them all in tables, with coordinates and local location names.

NPR Newsletter No.17

Hello Scope creep,

News

The WMF has announced that Google Translate is now available for translating articles through the content translation tool. This may result in an increase in machine translated articles in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to use the {{rough translation}} tag and gently remind (or inform) editors that translations from other language Wikipedia pages still require attribution per WP:TFOLWP.

Discussions of interest

Two elements of CSD G6 have been split into their own criteria: R4 for redirects in the "File:" namespace with the same name as a file or redirect at Wikimedia Commons (Discussion), and G14 for disambiguation pages which disambiguate zero pages, or have "(disambiguation)" in the title but disambiguate a single page (Discussion).
{{db-blankdraft}} was merged into G13 (Discussion)
A discussion recently closed with no consensus on whether to create a subject-specific notability guideline for theatrical plays.
There is an ongoing discussion on a proposal to create subject-specific notability guidelines for chemicals and organism taxa.

Reminders

NPR is not a binary keep / delete process. In many cases a redirect may be appropriate. The deletion policy and its associated guideline clearly emphasise that not all unsuitable articles must be deleted. Redirects are not contentious. See a classic example of the templates to use. More templates are listed at the R template index. Reviewers who are not aware, do please take this into consideration before PROD, CSD, and especially AfD because not even all admins are aware of such policies, and many NAC do not have a full knowledge of them.

NPP Tools Report

Superlinks – allows you to check an article's history, logs, talk page, NPP flowchart (on unpatrolled pages) and more without navigating away from the article itself.
copyvio-check – automatically checks the copyvio percentage of new pages in the background and displays this info with a link to the report in the 'info' panel of the Page curation toolbar.
The NPP flowchart now has clickable hyperlinks.

Please note that Kt is not usually used as a postnom. Knights Bachelor do not use postnoms. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:35, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, yes exactly as Necrothesp says, Knights Bachelor don't add Kt after their names, presumably because the title "Sir" shows that they have a knighthood, and such a knighthood is not one of the orders of chivalry. That is why I removed the KT, not just because it was in upper case, as I think you assumed.Rcb1 (talk) 11:49, 19 March 2019 (UTC)rcb1[reply]

Hi @Necrothesp: In the James Spence Medal articles I adding in thing FRCP into the post-noms. Have they all got to go as well. scope_creep^Talk 11:45, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, fellowships are fine. They're recognised postnoms. But nothing below fellowships (not MRCS, for instance; but FRCS is fine) or any degrees. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:55, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yip. @Necrothesp:, @Rcb1: It might be worth removing the Kt from the post-noms template as well, which I added. scope_creep^Talk 14:20, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dear all. Recently, FR30799386 (talk) was blocked for sock puppetry. Among their projects were a number of user scripts that they left behind.

Want to remove spouse name

Hi my Wikipedia page showing wrong information I m trying to remove that but it's never goona remove in google search . Can anyone please help! Kandesrikanth (talk) 18:06, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Kandesrikanth: I can help. The reason I removed it was you don't seem to leave an edit summary. Please change and at the end leave an edit summary. If it is your Wikipedia article, the proper mechanism to update it is usually a Wikipedia:Edit requests, and once it has been posted on the talk page, some other uninvolved editor will come along and address the request. Thanks. scope_creep^Talk 18:38, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your edit on Damon J. Smith Page

Hi Scope Creep, I saw that you removed the music section, referring to it as "puff, native advertising per WP:NOT and WP:NOTADVERTISING. Do not add back in. Less than 4000 in Spotify." Where does it say in Wikipedia's guidelines that a musician has to have 4K+ followers on Spotify to be worthy of referencing their music on Wikipedia? It's not as if the entire page talks about his music. The section you removed included the fact that he charted in the top 10 on Billboard - is that not worthy of note for someone who started his career as an athlete? I could understand changing the name of the section, or removing something that doesn't appear truthful. But everything contained in that section referenced legitimate music industry sources, and I only named it "Rafa Selase (Music)" because of the fact he produces music under a different name and it seemed noteworthy to make that distinction. Taryndejesus (talk) 22:34, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Taryndejesus:. It a very poor section. I will check it. scope_creep^Talk 00:11, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Taryndejesus:. Its a top-8 on Billboard's New Age Albums chart, which I think is not notable. The rest is native advertising and full of puff. scope_creep^Talk 00:15, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

scope_creep, "I think is not notable" - that and the rest of your critique reflect your opinions, which I must say I don't find trustworthy. People have always used their opinions to marginalize others. Everything I wrote is verified, not my opinion! Another source in the music section is a quote from a writer at No Depression Magazine, which is covered in Wikipedia. Is their opinion not reliable? This biography is in no way advertising. I will continue to refine the page and see if there are areas that can be improved. I am not trying to skew anything, just contribute to the richness of this online encyclopedia with a biography of someone who is well known in my region for having accomplished some out of the ordinary things. Taryndejesus (talk) 02:03, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Taryndejesus:. Morning. Any volunteer editing Wikipedia has a duty to follow the policies that Wikipedia adheres to. These include for this instance, the policies: WP:V, WP:BIO, WP:BAND, WP:SIGCOV and WP:NOT that apply here: There is more, but these are the most important ones. Ultimately anybody can take stuff out an article if they are in good standing, not blocked or not a sock puppet, and other people, in the same manner, could put it back in by reverting, including yourself, or adding all or any part of the work back if they think it is important. If no agreement of what needs to be done is reached, via discussions on the talk page and no consensus can be reached, then something like WP:RFC can be created and a question is set, folk come to an answer it to resolve the break-in consensus and hopefully through the RFC, consensus is reached as to what content can be in the article, and the agreed content put back in. If that doesn't work, and no consensus is reached, then a dispute is probably the next step, via Dispute resolution. If the article survives Afd, it will be copyedited to remove the WP:PUFF.

I get two to three of these types of articles every week that are promotional and have been doing so for more than 7 years, so I am well experienced at determining what is considered notable and what is not. I make mistakes in the work I do, but at the end of the day, promotional content that is advertising and that damages Wikipedia, must come out, at every stage. Here is an article I came across a few days ago: Ilaria Ramelli that is similar to yours. I think it is laudable that you are trying to update the article. I dont mind if you add some new content in from the old content as long as its well sourced and notable. scope_creep^Talk 11:31, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

scope_creep I appreciate you taking the time to provide such a thorough response. I will continue to refine the page and hopefully in the end this process will bring about a better biography. Thank you for your help! Taryndejesus (talk) 05:03, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of File:Sukolov Group Belgium.svg

The file File:Sukolov Group Belgium.svg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No longer need. I built it and it has some mistake in it I cant rectify. Created a new one in a different format which is ok. This is no longer needed.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

ACC tool access request approved

Thank you for your interest in the account creation process. I have verified that you have signed the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information and approved your request.

You may now access the interface here pending a tool root marking your account as identified in the tool database. Before you begin handling any requests, please ensure you have read and understood the account creation guide and username policy to familiarize yourself with the process.

Please subscribe yourself to the private ACC mailing list by clicking here and following the instructions on the page. I also highly recommend that you join us on IRC. We'll be able to grant you access to our private channel (#wikipedia-en-accounts ^connect), where a bot informs us when new account requests arrive, and where you can chat with the other members of the team and get real-time input, advice, and assistance with requests and how to handle certain cases that are giving you confusion or trouble.

IMPORTANT: Please note that repeatedly failing to correctly assess and process account requests and take the correct resulting actions will result in suspension of your access to the ACC tool interface. Processing account creation requests is not a race, and each request should be handled with your upmost diligence, care, and attention. Closing each account request correctly, accurately, and within full compliance of the ACC tool guide is your goal and your priority; never sacrifice accuracy and compliance of policy in exchange for quantity, or to close a high number of requests that are in the queue.

ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL: Releasing any kind of personally identifiable information or any kind of non-public data listed in the access to nonpublic personal data policy (such as the IP addresses or email addresses of account creation requests), whether intentionally or unintentionally, is treated as an extremely serious violation of policy and breach of confidential information, and will generally result in immediate suspension of your access to the ACC tool interface. Depending on the severity of the offense, the intent, and the level of misconduct that occurred, the violation and the breach of the confidential information will be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation, which can result in further sanctions and actions being taken against you (such as being blocked, banned, or having your access to nonpublic personal data status revoked). If you have questions about this, or aren't sure about anything in regards to this policy, please ask a tool administrator.

Your current user rights allow you to create up to six accounts in a 24 hour period. After this limit has been reached, you won't be able to create any more accounts. However, you can still process ACC tool requests without any issues; just place any approved requests back into the queue so that another tool user can perform the account creation step and finish the process for you. You also won't be able to create an account with a similar username to that of another account that exists; these requests are listed in a separate queue on the interface, titled "flagged user needed". However, if you reach the limit frequently, you can request the account creator permission at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Account creator after you've demonstrated a few months of experience and proficiency with processing and handling new account requests.

Hi @JJMC89: Thanks. I plan to spend the next couple of months examining the process and I plan to follow individual cases ran by other ACC folk for a good while before proceeding, if its possible. Cool, the IRC relay chat is real handy. scope_creep^Talk 07:38, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think you'll be able to get much out of requests handled by others. Private data is only visible when you reserve a request, and it is purged after the request is closed. The only thing you'll be able to see otherwise is the username. You'll learn more my taking requests then stepping through the guide and asking questions as necessary. — JJMC89 (T·C) 02:54, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

NPR Newsletter No.18

Hello Scope creep,

WMF at work on NPP Improvements

Niharika Kohli, a product manager for the growth team, announced that work is underway in implementing improvements to New Page Patrol as part of the 2019 Community Wishlist and suggests all who are interested watch the project page on meta. Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:

Allow filtering by no citations in page curation
Not having CSD and PRODs automatically marked as reviewed, reflecting current consensus among reviewers and current Twinkle functionality.

Reliable Sources for NPP

Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.

Backlog drive coming soon

Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.

News

Following a request for comment, the subject-specific notability guideline for pornographic actors and models (WP:PORNBIO) was removed; in its place, editors should consult WP:ENT and WP:GNG.

Paid editing notification May 23

Hi Scope creep. I saw your comment on my talk page regarding paid editing. I'm just getting into editing wikipedia articles--I read a lot of news about startups and read a lot of YA fiction, so I figured I'd put it to use. I wasn't paid for any of my edits that I made. Thanks! Let me know if there's anything you think I need to add in my explanation for my recent edits as I try to get better at being a Wikipedia contributor!

- Draft:Mohit Bahl (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi Scope Creep, Thanks for reviewing an article recently created by me for Mohit Bahl, a well-known Personality in India. I wanna request you to review it again as we had added almost 10+ media coverage about him. I had not added those which I think hardly pass or written by him on well known trusted media sites. Please review it again, I had added each source to prove the originality. I hope you will review it and let me know... Thanks again for contributing for Wikipedia Community.

Wikiproducer123 (talk) 19:44, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Wikiproducer123: I dont think the draft article is notable per WP:BIO and WP:SIGCOV in my opinion. However, if you'd like to get a review from another editor, you are welcome to resubmit the draft. I do not plan to review it again. scope_creep^Talk 07:43, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Trade Facilitation Agreement 2014

You might want to add categories to Trade Facilitation Agreement 2014, possibly with other edits, since AfCH didn't complete its' job. I've already started a thread about the issue here. -- I dream of horses If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message (talk to me) (My edits) @ 12:15, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @I dream of horses: I never added categories. It was the last Afc I did last night. I'm not the best at discovering them, unless they are BLP draft submissions. Generally I can sit there for hours trying to discover the right ones, but after years of trying to master it, I've managed to create a working relationship with Vycl1994. When I post an Afc, Vycl1994 comes and post the cats very quickly. scope_creep^Talk 13:13, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Scope creep: Do you use the AfC helper tool? Because I had to remove the AfC templates manually. I dream of horses If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message (talk to me) (My edits) @ 13:31, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@I dream of horses: Yes I saw that. All the time. I would never consider a manual move. The script is basic but good. It is not a template that I have seen before, but certainly would have removed it today. I always do a post cleanup, even a complete article rebuild if the draft submission is notable. The fact it was very late last night and it mentioned revision history and some instructions meant I would have left it until morning when I was cogent. I think you would have never seen it otherwise. scope_creep^Talk 14:09, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think long-term editors like ourselves have edited overly fatigued at least once.

I would like you to take a look at this

This is far beyond my own scope of Wikipedia, buy I noticed this history. You declined the notability of a draft, yet within 30 minutes, the creator of the draft seemingly over-ruled you and the article went live. I suspect this may be a pattern, but I don't know yet. Perhaps you could look at your history of evaluations and see what happens after. If I am reading everything wrong, let me know. Cheers, --SVTCobra (talk) 02:19, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Scope creep, I just left an "unsourced" warning at User talk:Priyansh90, and noticed you had left an earlier warning about paid editing a couple of weeks ago, asking them to stop editing until they responded - neither of which they've done. It wasn't quite clear to me why you considered them to be a paid editor, though I haven't looked very deeply into their edit history. Do you think it's pretty certain? Should something further be done? Thanks... --IamNotU (talk) 11:41, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
