Damon Runyon's short story "Dancing Dan's Christmas" is a fun read if you have the time. Right from the start it extols the virtues of the hot Tom and Jerry

This hot Tom and Jerry is an old-time drink that is once used by one and all in this country to celebrate Christmas with, and in fact it is once so popular that many people think Christmas is invented only to furnish an excuse for hot Tom and Jerry, although of course this is by no means true.

No matter what concoction is your favorite to imbibe during this festive season I would like to toast you with it and to thank you for all your work here at the 'pedia this past year. Best wishes for your 2020 as well CBW. MarnetteD|Talk 04:23, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fnality International - deleted page

I am new to adding a Wikipedia page.

Could you please explain why you deleted Fnality International.

I do not believe that anything I included violates copyright but happy for any help/guidance you can provide

Thanks

Wgyngell. Unfortunately the About Us was included in the article. There were other sections from their page that were copied as well. At the bottom of that page is a copyright notice. You need to write in your own words. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 11:21, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, did not realise that the CTA tracking replicated - Can you reinstate the page and I will change it today, most of the information is just facts rather than opinion but no problem I can write the rest in my words. Wendy--Wgyngell (talk) 13:39, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wgyngell. Sorry but because it's a copyright violation I can't. However, if you were to turn your email on I can send it to you. That's pretty safe as Wikipedia does not let me know what your email is even if I send to you. You will see mine but unless you reply I won't have any idea what yours is. Go to Special:Preferences and you can set an email there. Just don't post it here. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 13:57, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Got it, thank you. Here's hoping I get it right 2nd time! Regards Wendy --Wgyngell (talk) 15:03, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion log

You/someone deleted it (Urban Naxals and Me Too Urban Naxal) anyway, but not Urban Naxals: The Making of Buddha in a Traffic Jam is there a hidden agenda? Italawar (talk) 15:36, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Italawar No. The first two were seen as not notable. Why would there be an agenda, hidden or not? CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 06:26, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wishes

Hi CBW! All the warmest wishes for this seasonal occasion, whichever you celebrate - or don't, while I swelter at 27℃ (80.6℉), and peace and prosperity for 2020, hoping that you'll join me for a cool beer in Bangkok in August when it will be even hotter!

Md Moniruzzaman Emon No. The draft was declined and you need to ask RHaworth to un-protect the page. First bring the draft up to standards. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 20:31, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Trevor Jesty

The article Trevor Jesty has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Changes to Lady Franklin Point Wikipedia Entry

Hey, Cambridge Bay Weather,

I AM the Reliable Source of the recent edit, as I served as the Department of National Defence Environmental Officer, for 22 years, and I had authority for the site during my tenure, including the fire and its aftermath. Who are you to presume to deny my edit? I'll be reporting your inappropriate action to the Wikipedia authority having jurisdiction over such matters. Here's a piece of advice, for you, "Stay out of things that you have no direct knowledge of or authority over." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.49.99.177 (talk) 13:13, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As per Wikipedia:Reliable sources and Wikipedia:Verifiability you are not a reliable source. No more than I am for my home town of Cambridge Bay. The thing is you make the claim that you were involved with the DND but there is no way to prove that. I could log out and edit as an IP, like you, and claim to be your boss during that time period. Either way there has to be a source that anybody can use to check material. Who am I? I'm just a regular Wikipedia editor like many others. Please feel free to report me to whoever you like. I would suggest starting at Wikipedia:Help desk and if you still think you are a reliable source then ask at Wikipedia:Reliable sources noticeboard. As for your rather ridiculous advice I will point out that as it says on the top left of the Main Page this is "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit." That means you can edit articles that you know nothing about. Indeed I have no authority over that particular, or any article, but neither do you. That's known as Wikipedia:Ownership of content and is frowned upon. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 20:06, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators' newsletter – January 2020

Guideline and policy news

A request for comment asks whether partial blocks should be enabled on the English Wikipedia. If enabled, this functionality would allow administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces, rather than the entire site.
A proposal asks whether admins who don't use their tools for a significant period of time (e.g. five years) should have the toolset procedurally removed.
Following a successful RfC, a whitelist is now available for users whose redirects will be autopatrolled by a bot, removing them from the new pages patrol queue. Admins can add such users to Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist after a discussion following the guidelines at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist.

Arbitration

The fourth case on Palestine-Israel articles was closed. The case consolidated all previous remedies under one heading, which should make them easier to understand, apply, and enforce. In particular, the distinction between "primary articles" and "related content" has been clarified, with the former being the entire set of articles whose topic relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly interpreted rather than reasonably construed.
Following the 2019 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been appointed to the Arbitration Committee: Beeblebrox, Bradv, Casliber, David Fuchs, DGG, KrakatoaKatie, Maxim, Newyorkbrad, SoWhy, Worm That Turned, Xeno.

Miscellaneous

This issue marks three full years of the Admin newsletter. Thanks for reading!

Rename back to its original name

Hi, Please rename Ekattor to it's original name Ekattor TV. Same with Nagorik (Bangladeshi TV channel) to Nagorik TV. Thanks. --আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 19:27, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why the move?

Why did you move this subpage? We had agreed to make it available to editors by making it a subpage? Please move it back. -- BullRangifer (talk) 02:33, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

BullRangifer. I've put it back. I moved it because the page had a declined submission tag on it (now removed). There was njo indication on the page nor at Talk:Lancet MMR autism fraud that there had been a discussion to move it there. The edit summary didn't give an indication of where this discussion was. I've fixed the Talk:Lancet MMR autism fraud/Wakefield 1998 Paper Fraud a bit but it needs a link to the discussion saying to put it there.

Hello. Seeing as you were the person who revdelled the articles entire history and redirected it, could you please tell what it was a violation of? It would help out with this CCI Thanks, 💴Money💶💵emoji💷^{Talk💸Help out at CCI!} 14:58, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Guideline and policy news

Following a request for comment, partial blocks are now enabled on the English Wikipedia. This functionality allows administrators to block users from editing specific pages or namespaces rather than the entire site. A draft policy is being workshopped at Wikipedia:Partial blocks.
The request for comment seeking the community's sentiment for a binding desysop procedure closed with wide-spread support for an alternative desysoping procedure based on community input. No proposed process received consensus.

Technical news

Twinkle now supports partial blocking. There is a small checkbox that toggles the "partial" status for both blocks and templating. There is currently one template: {{uw-pblock}}.
When trying to move a page, if the target title already exists then a warning message is shown. The warning message will now include a link to the target title. [1]

Arbitration

Following a recent arbitration case, the Arbitration Committee reminded administrators that checkuser and oversight blocks must not be reversed or modified without prior consultation with the checkuser or oversighter who placed the block, the respective functionary team, or the Arbitration Committee.

Miscellaneous

Voting in the 2020 Steward elections will begin on 08 February 2020, 14:00 (UTC) and end on 28 February 2020, 13:59 (UTC). The confirmation process of current stewards is being held in parallel. You can automatically check your eligibility to vote.

Proposed deletion of Honkers

The article Honkers has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:GNG.

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}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. TTN (talk) 00:47, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

TTN Instead of tagging why not stop and think about where a possible redirect might go? Like this. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 05:22, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please undo the name change on Andrew J. Scott (economist)

Could you please help make the name Andrew J Scott (no period)? This is part of the economist's brand. It should be Andrew J Scott (economist). Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dixiegal2929 (talk • contribs) 19:14, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dixiegal2929. I moved it to Andrew J Scott as there is only the one so he doesn't need a disambiguation. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 05:07, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Atheist in Kenya Society Page

Hello I have recently done an article on Atheist in Kenya Society which you proposed for deletion. Am a new Wikipedian and I would really love participating and making major contributions on Wikipedia and this was my first article that I thought I had done my best. At first I had captioned the name of the page wrongly, I had captioned it as Atheist Society In Kenya instead of Atheist in Kenya Society. So I had to move the page to Atheist in Kenya Society. Please I would like you to advice on what I have done wrong. I would also appreciate if you could revert the decision and give me an opportunity to learn from my mistake. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Milliede' (talk • contribs) 19:09, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Milliede'. Sorry I was distracted and forgot to let you know that I had moved the page to Atheists In Kenya Society because on the original you had Atheists In Kenya Society. with a period at the end. There didn't appear to be any need for it so I moved the page. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 01:42, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
