QPQ

Please see Wikipedia:Did you know#Review requirement. They started this system over a year ago to ensure that the long list of DYK nominations would be reviewed in a timely manner. Anyone with over 5 DYK credits is required to review another nomination before his hook is approved.

By the way, as you write more articles, you may want to add something to your user page so your name shows up blue instead of red. There's a fun selection of userboxes out there. Best, Yoninah (talk) 21:13, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion for Bonsal Unified

Hello, I am interested why you flagged my article for speedy deletion. It was just an effort to expand coverage of the San Diego educational systems on wikipedia. I am part of WikiProject San Diego and just trying to do my part. Also, how would this be deemed promotional? It is a school district. Ghostkrashers (talk) 03:56, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Ghostkrashers:, only 1 reference, which is WP:PRIMARYSOURCE. OccultZone (Talk) 03:58, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have added a secondary source. Ghostkrashers (talk) 04:12, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
PROD tag removed, have fun. OccultZone (Talk) 04:13, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear OccultZone

I would like to know how you thought a listing for a gallery with links is an advertisement? As you can see if you read the article, it is listed as one of the main galleries in Iran. It is also the first in the country to be designed as a gallery space. I would urge you to reconsider this, as I just put a lot of work to highlight galleries in Tehran, how about you send me a message at first listing the problems you have for the page, as you haven't listed any? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigabdul (talk • contribs) 11:46, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Bigabdul: Whenever a single user happens to make the pages that are related to an organization, relatively large(for new page), but include only one source which is primary, it can be easily deemed as promotional. I don't know anyone who contributed to this page, nor I know about any of the associates related with the gallery. OccultZone (Talk) 11:53, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Occult Zone, how can more than one user in its first hour of creation create a page? I have to be someone to start off the proceedure do I not? Then as time progresses more people alter the page? I have added other links now so can you please remove the deletion of the page, I am attempting to show Iran does have a cultural scene and a vibrant one at that. I do not work for the gallery and as you can see from my previous posts I am editing many areas around Tehran. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigabdul (talk • contribs) 11:59, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Bigabdul: Tag removed. Check how I have added references, I had added one more reference to the article. OccultZone (Talk) 12:16, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion converted to PROD: Winslow School, Tyngsborough

Hello OccultZone. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Winslow School, Tyngsborough to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question. Thank you. Shirt58 (talk) 09:42, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Edits to Dixon Hearne page

Hi I have made some changes to the Dixon Hearne page. I added more secondary sources, lists of publications and honors and awards (to prove notability), as well as a longer list of external links. I haven't yet found articles I can link this one to, but I will do that soon if you think what I've done so far clears up some of the issues you mentioned earlier. Thanks!!!

"Stub as there are no references"

Please read WP:STUB. It reads "A stub is an article deemed too short to provide encyclopedic coverage of a subject. The objective of this page is to provide a general guide for dealing with stubs". There is no mention on whether the page has references or not. -- Magioladitis (talk) 17:03, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Magioladitis: Surprising that I overlooked this one. I agree with the definition you presented, but you had reverted or something? Let me know, and if you don't remember, I think I can check the page by going through my contribution history. OccultZone (Talk) 16:12, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. I did not revert or anything since stub-class ma differ from stub tag for many wikiprojects. -- Magioladitis (talk) 16:18, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Magioladitis: I checked both pages where I had added such edit summary, it is alright, but thanks for informing. OccultZone (Talk) 16:20, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No idea. I think stub-class depends of how the wikiproject defines it. It is certainly not a stub article but wikiproject may use other standards for defining their classes. (Be cautious: There is a slight difference between stub articles and stub-class articles although many wikiprojects define stub-class articles to be the stub articles and other wise the use C and/or Start class). -- Magioladitis (talk) 10:16, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have unreviewed a page you curated

Hi, I'm Mabalu. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Pakdam Pakdai, and have un-reviewed it again. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you. Mabalu (talk) 17:13, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The review was obviously a side effect of the speedy deletion nomination. I have done some basic editing but unreviewed it again for others to have a look and see what they think. Mabalu (talk) 17:15, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Mabalu: reviewed? Check again, I wanted that page to be deleted. OccultZone (Talk) 17:20, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That's what I said, "obviously a side effect of the speedy deletion nomination" as above. Every time someone tags a page for deletion or adds tags using the Curation tool, it automatically marks the page as reviewed. Winds me up too... I am always unreviewing pages after tagging them. Mabalu (talk) 17:23, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Mabalu: something should be done about it. If prod template have been removed, it should become unreviewed. Keep up your good work. OccultZone (Talk) 03:30, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for mentioning the misspelling. The image appears to be one grabbed the writer took from an random article, with the article content from Neapope. I doubt the image belongs to Neapope. LionMans Account (talk) 03:32, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Innerview

Hi. I've declined your speedy request as A9 is not appropriate for this article. A9 only applies when a recording is not notable (I pass no comment on this album) AND the artistes are not the subject of an article. In this case, there's been an article on them since about 2005. A9 is unusual at CSD in that two criteria must be met. If you feel that notability isn't shown, there's always WP:PROD or WP:AFD. There's no speedy suitable for it. Peridon (talk) 11:22, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Peridon: I have no comment on this, AFD is the way to go, but before that I will search about this subject once more. OccultZone (Talk) 11:26, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding references...they are in the wikilinks. These "year-in" articles are a gathering of dated facts from other Wikipedia articles. Regards Sarah777 (talk) 21:20, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Sarah777: I never disturbed or objected any reference related issue. Although I really think that every entry should have reference. You can do it, or maybe I will have to do it someday. OccultZone (Talk) 02:12, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I'm trying to complete as much of the series as I can find "events" to record. I'll copy in the references after that. Regards Sarah777 (talk) 12:34, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Sarah777: Yes you can. I've checked that there were WP:AFD concerning these articles before, and they got crashed. I would just say that article will remain anyhow and someday we shall need similar articles for every country. OccultZone (Talk) 12:36, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. That will be one big job! I've been years working on and off on just the Ireland series...Sarah777 (talk) 12:41, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Western Pacific Production

I was about to take this to AfD when I saw your edits at Prashant Passy Pilley. Did you noticed that one of the links on that page is [1] about someone getting 5 years in jail in 1993? I'm very dubious about the BLP, more so about the company. See[2] - do you believe all that? I looked up Tim Conrad (correct spelling), can't find anything linking him to WPP. A search for "Bond 24" and "Western Pacific Production" turns up only that web page. Dougweller (talk) 13:15, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Dougweller:, when I had reviewed this article I had found more than 80,000 results of this name. I had clean up, check [3], it was my last version. Now that article is dominated by its creator, it will be pretty harder for me to collaborate with the creator right now but it can be done anytime. The company you are talking about, Western Pacific is not the best source, I have commented on its Afd. OccultZone (Talk) 13:30, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Odd. I get "about 28,900" yet when I click on the last page I end up with 27. Try again searching on his name, and start clicking through the pages. Something is odd with Google. See Bing: [4]. He worked on Supernatural, but [5] lists him as just one of many, working on 2 episodes. I'm taking him to AfD also on the basis of those searches. Dougweller (talk) 13:50, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I will be waiting for that. OccultZone (Talk) 13:55, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It seemed sensible to bundle them as this is just the start of the AfD and they are by the same editor. You might want to comment again. Dougweller (talk) 13:59, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Done and thanks. OccultZone (Talk) 14:09, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Denise Donnelly

Hi OccultZone. I saw your comment in the deletion discussion of this article and the link you included. I wasn't clear if with the link you were indicating that coverage in that book establishes notability or if you were pointing to the citations already supporting that bit along with the recently added book citation? And another editor has responded that the book does not cover her in depth (I haven't looked into it). Could you please clarify? Thanks. Candleabracadabra (talk) 12:44, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why?

Hi OccultZone! I still don't understand why you edited my corrections regarding the article about Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. The lines about corruption and criticism are very unreliable; for example: Varga Llosa is a well known figure who has been historically negative of the Argentine governments, specially post 90's. And the other 4 links correspond all to the Economist, a source which has never said one good thing about Kirchner and has praised the economic policy of the disastrous IMF in Argentina (which led to the crisis in 2001).

I think it should be corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AgustinArgentina (talk • contribs) 17:49, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@AgustinArgentina: Best place for raising such issues would be Talk:Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, you cannot remove the whole part but you can provide explanation on the talk page. I think that there should be some notable criticism of Kirchner's regime on the leading paragraph even if you think that Varga Llosa is not proper source.

Sorry about the templated message! For me assessments of "speedy" deletion involves checking for non-English language sources, checking Google's scanned newspaper archives, seeing whether LA Weekly has an article, and if so is a reliable source, and if so is a blog is a reliable source, going to check how dinner is cooking... by the time I'm ready to put forward a tentative opinion the article is usually either OK'd or deleted anyway!

@Shirt58: over 60,000 results concerning this artist. I think that more can be written, we can help the editor. At this moment, the article has maintenance tags. If article has been brought to Afd and some user happens to discover 1-2 or more reliable sources, it will end up with a speedy keep. OccultZone (Talk) 11:17, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Census info

For every 10 years Indian population is released by the government. People are updating it for yearly basis on certain town pages. Is is correct because in my opinion its not genuine which is expectations released by the press. Also, based on the genuine stats the city rankings are based, users are simply updating assumed stats and changing their city rankings which are based on population. Hyderabad - a featured article of wiki is a genuine page which has 2011 census, but other small towns and cities are simply changed by users.Vin09 (talk) 17:19, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

National consensus should be the source for these types of information, and it should match with the source. You can also use the 1991 consensus, but you have to specifically refer about the year. OccultZone (Talk) 17:31, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why?

I am just curious - why did you do this edit? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Philip_Delano&diff=601628841&oldid=591082297

The references were fine the way they were. All you did was transpose the order of references. Is their some new guideline I'm not aware of or are you trying to build your edit count? Mugginsx (talk) 20:21, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Mugginsx: That was months ago. If you watch properly not just reference order was maintained on that edit, but few white spaces and blank lines were removed. Those days I usually had 1 or 2 options of WP:AWB disabled but still did many changes as these articles were hardly ever edited. Later I had to disable more for avoiding less effective changes.

List portal

Any reason you are adding "List" portal to many category pages, e.g. here? Seems totally irrelevant... Fram (talk) 09:25, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Fram: Its pages(1805 in Wales, 1806 in Wales) do have these projects. But yes I can drop the idea of adding "list" if you want so. I had actually confirmed this idea from other editor before I would make it, it was uncontroversial. I did only on 5 pages. OccultZone (Talk) 09:29, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, because you added them in the first place (at the top, as first project, instead of the polite at the bottom). The link between these categories and that project is strenuous at best (unless you want to add every category to the project?) But a lot worse is that portal Lists has nothing to do with Project Lists. Please check what you add before mass adding things like this. Your link goes to Portal:Contents/Portals.

Correct, that's why I had stopped editing that one after I did about 5. So I could see what others would be thinking. It is good enough with the projects and other portal(such as history). I would have added the "Years" portal, but there is none. @Fram: is there any possibility that I can create a portal for "Years"? OccultZone (Talk) 09:41, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think you need permission. I have worked with portals years back ("Belgium" and "Comics" mainly), but I no longer see the purpose in them, they take away much time and energy that can be much better spent editing articles IMO. I don't know of any portals that actually give any real benefit for readers or editors. But that is just my opinion, I don't think there is a policy that would stop you creating one. Perhaps check with wikiproject portals, if such a thing exists? Fram (talk) 09:46, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I had and it doesn't exist. I got my answer, yes a lot better things can be done, I got about 100s of articles to write, concerning history and social issues, but sometimes I think about making rest of the things better. Just like many of our editors try to. OccultZone (Talk) 09:49, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I removed another 11 instances where you added the List portal to a category. By the way, perhaps you already know this, but if you create new year in country cats, you can use much simpler syntax now; compare these two: I removed the List portal, but apart from that, these give the exaft same result, but the newer Template:Year in country category one is much easier (to use and to comprehend) than the old "year by category" template. No need to convert existing ones, normally, since it doesn't improve the end result, but for new ones you may like to consider using it. It is already used on some 6,000 pages.

This one sounds more simplified than other one. Maybe whenever these categories would be edited, I will just replace with the above code, so there will be multiple changes to the page. OccultZone (Talk) 10:08, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
