Need your help

Your !vote on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rachel Goenka (2nd nomination) isn't currently visible because my earlier comment had an invisible comment which wasn't closed properly (I know its stupid of me). Could you please remove the <!--Typle below this line> right above the relist temp. If I do it then, your comment will be subst by my signature. - hako9 (talk) 02:00, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

hako9, I'm afraid I just attempted to do it only to find I probably shouldn't remove it either, if I do that I am shown as the person who relisted the discussion instead of the person who actually did the relist. I have gone ahead and temporarily removed my !vote, so hopefully Spartaz can remove the line without problems. Devonian Wombat (talk) 02:07, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for removing the !vote temporarily. I am going ahead and removing the invisible comment anyway with the disclosure that I wasn't the one who relisted (as evidenced by the edit history). Shouldn't be a big deal. You can reinstate your !vote now. - hako9 (talk) 02:18, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you

Edit summary

this edit summary certainly seems to hold a sense that my edit was done in malice or bad faith. That is not the case and I resent the implication. Was wanting to try and mimic the format used at List of Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign non-political endorsements. That's all. Rusted AutoParts 04:44, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 15

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of Joe Biden 2020 presidential campaign endorsements, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page IL-14.

Discretionary sanctions notification

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Nomination of Adopt Me! for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Adopt Me! is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Adopt Me! until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. MaxandRubyPeppaBlueyCuriousGeorgeFan2.0 (talk) 17:02, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Devonian Wombat, thank you for reviewing the article Earl Ankrah which I submitted. However, when i do a google search I do not see the page up. is there any reason why it is so? kindly help out — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pagefour (talk • contribs) 18:12, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Pagefour, that sort of stuff isn't really my forte, but I can say from personal experience it takes a while for Google to index the article and show it where Wikipedia articles are normally shown. The Teahouse is better for these types of questions, the folks over there know more than me. Devonian Wombat (talk) 20:25, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rejection of Highest median rules

Dear Devonian Wombat, you rejected my submission of Highest median voting rules on the ground that it does not look like an encyclopedic article, but I do not understand what it is so. I believe the topic is highly relevant as it covers a class of voting rules that is absent from wikipedia, generalizing from the Majority judgment, which is only the rule represented on wikipedia within this class (although it is said not to have the best properties among this class). Could you provide me more specific insights to improve the article, so its submission can be accepted? Anon86461 (talk) 08:48, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Anon86461, Specifically, the article engages in promotional language with this quote: "In addition to faithfully reflecting the voter's opinion, highest median rules satisfy the independence of irrelevant alternatives and do not fall within the scope of Arrow's impossibility theorem.[1]" That's a pretty promotional statement, rewording it to something like "Proponents of highest median rules state that it faithfully reflects the voter's opinion, and that they satisfy the independence of irrelevant alternatives and do not fall within the scope of Arrow's impossibility theorem" along with adding a negative view of Highest median voting in order to meet WP:NPOV, there are also large chunks of the article which are uncited, and the "definitions and notations" section reads somewhat confusingly, I quite frankly didn't understand what it was trying to say. I was admittedly a bit harsh, so clean up a couple of the problems and you should be good to go. Devonian Wombat (talk) 09:56, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this detailed response. I have applied your suggestions and I reckon that the article has improved a lot. I hope it will now be accepted. Anon86461 (talk) 11:46, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Life and Liberty Party

There is a clear consensus on the talk page to include the Life and Liberty Party on the talk page of the 2020 US Presidential Election third party candidates page, your reversion goes against that consensus. Please refrain from doing so again.XavierGreen (talk) 01:44, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:XavierGreen, no, there is currently a 3-2 tally in your favour, given Tartan previously stated his support for the notability criteria. Please, next time you want to make a change actually have a proper discussion instead of using a backally agreement to make changes. Since there was no discussion and even the discussion you had did not actually arrive at a consensus, you cannot legitimately make those changes. Devonian Wombat (talk) 01:47, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Complaint about your edits at WP:AN3

Please see WP:AN3#User:Devonian Wombat reported by User:XavierGreen (Result: Declined). You may respond there if you wish. EdJohnston (talk) 15:01, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:Crystalline Coatings (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello, thank you for taking the time to review the draft crystalline coatings page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Crystalline_Coatings). I made the necessary corrections to the embedded and external links as you pointed out. I also apologize for this coming across as an advertisement, that was not my aim at all. I did my best to support all stated technical capabilities with links to published articles. This technology has been vetted in the literature with publications in Science, Nature, Nature Physics, Nature Photonics (x2), and so on... If you can make a pass and revise the points that you find most problematic that would be much appreciated. There is a very detailed write up here^[1] that I was aiming to summarize (and update with new and more recent citations). Or please highlight specific sections and send back to me to correct. I don't have a lot of experience with Wikipedia, but many moons ago I added contact to the VCSEL and semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) entries without issue.

I would claim that this is a a timely topic, there have not been much new in the way of optical coatings technologies developed for the last 30-40 years, this is the first new manufacturing method then in a generation...

Requesting attention

Hi,

It seems you came across and edited article Regensburg lecture. I would like to bring to your attention that the earlier edits to the article by ip 89.211.117.211 seemed doubtful to me. I reported on Wikipedia:Editor assistance and subsequently Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents too but strangely enough no body seems to have bothered. And I don't know what needs to be further action.

Since you have visited article and you are an experienced editor you may be knowing processes better so bringing the same to your attention. Bookku (talk) 06:40, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Bookku:, well generally the first thing to do is to raise the issue on the IP's talk page, they seem like they're trying to help and letting them know that you have an issue with what they're doing is probably the best thing to do right now. If they don't reply, then maybe you could go to AN/I again, but I would personally recommend simply fixing the content you disagree with, and only going to AN/I if the IP reverts you and refuses to talk. Since they haven't edited since September, I'd say you probably won't have to worry about them reverting you though. Devonian Wombat (talk) 07:22, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Trouting myself

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

- Draft:Athens College of Ministry (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Good afternoon!

I wanted to reach out because I recently submitted a draft page titled "Athens College of Ministry" that you declined. You cited that there were not secondary sources to acknowledge the titled subject, Athens College of Ministry. I wanted to see if I could receive assistance with this in getting this page published as it seems that there is plenty of material in the local Athens area that has mentioned the Athens College of Ministry. I will include a few sources that I found just from a simple google search. I'll be happy to answer any questions and look forward to hopefully receiving assistance with this (I'm a first time editor). Thank you!
