Possible disruption, WP:Get the point

Hi. Could you please take a look at this discussion whenever you can? (motivated by a series of edits and reverts) It seems a user is not conducting himself in good faith. Thanks--Watchlonly (talk) 20:54, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:1856 establishments in Taiwan

A tag has been placed on Category:1856 establishments in Taiwan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz ^{Read!

Closing edit requests

Make sure to mark the answered= as "yes". You might want to consider using WP:EPH for the purpose since it facilitates things a bit. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 17:11, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

@RandomCanadian: Oops, I usually remember to do it. I’ve used EPH in the past but found it less burdensome to do it manually (don’t remember why). Thanks for going through the backlog though! ◢  Ganbaruby!  (Say hi!) 17:39, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Fred Hirsch (disambiguation) redirect revert

Although the middle name of "Siegfried" is included in the Wikipedia, he is more widely known as Fred Hirsch. Many people may search for Fred Hirsch and end up on an unintended Wikipedia webpage so it would only make sense to have a disambiguation page for better accessibility to our Wikipedia community. Before you reverted the "Redirect" tag on Fred Hirsch (professor)'s page, the Wikipedia search engine appeared presenting a curated list of all the related pages with the keyword "Fred Hirsch". For researchers, this is very useful.

WisdomNerd (talk) 20:36, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Hey there. As mentioned above, there are several Fred Hirschs of great importance. How are we able to make it so the search for their name directs us to the search engine or disambiguation page? Thank you for your help.

WisdomNerd (talk) 21:39, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

@WisdomNerd: Ok, several page moves to do here, in this order:

1. Fred Siegfried Hirsch -> Fred Hirsch (entrepreneur) (or replace entrepreneur with one word that better describes him; please let me know if you have one)
2. Fred Hirsch -> Fred Hirsch (professor)
3. Fred Hirsch (disambiguation) -> Fred Hirsch

This is how Wikipedia handles people with the same name. However, we have no control over how search engines like Google handle this issue, and frankly we don't really care. Redirects cannot go on top of an article because it hides the rest of the article. ◢  Ganbaruby!  (Say hi!) 00:14, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the edit - Arts Club of Washington

Thanks - I didn't quite know if adding the YouTube channel was appropriate. The Club is starting to update a large amount of it public facing information, and I suspect that part of my team is going to updating a bunch in the next few months. Additionally, we have a large number of artists who have asked us to link to their sites. So, again, thanks!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by HJudeS (talk • contribs) 02:27, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

@HJudeS: Took another look at your edits and they're very problematic. Wikipedia should be written in a neutral point of view and your text is very promotional. Please do not link to external links within the text; in fact, keep external links to a minimum. We usually just link the official site in the "External links" section. You also say "my team", which makes me suspect you have a conflict of interest with the subject. Please read WP:COI in its entirety and make relevant disclosures. You are strongly advised to not edit the article directly, but to file edit requests on the article's talk page instead (see WP:PAID). Thanks for your understanding. ◢  Ganbaruby!  (Say hi!) 02:34, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Oh, sorry for the confusion, some of my research students want to assist some of the local DC associations updating their entries. It does appear that you deleted/reverted all of additions that I made earlier today. I now have to admit confusion about what would be appropriate in order to have a complete, accurate history here and elsewhere. HJudeS (talk) 03:18, 29 January 2021 (UTC)HJudeSHJudeS (talk) 03:18, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

@HJudeS: The entire thing read like an advertisement and was poorly sourced. You'll have to figure out how to present information in a neutral point of view while also sourcing to reliable sources that are independent of the arts club. Do not add any information that cannot be sourced, and do not add inline external links. ◢  Ganbaruby!  (Say hi!) 03:29, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi!

Thanks for welcoming me. I guess only registered editors can add the information about Sarcoma Awareness Month in July to the List of month-long observances, so that leaves me as a newbie out. Eventually I'd like to edit more sarcoma content as I am on the Sarcoma Alliance non-profit board and some of the info needs updating. Again, thanks, and I look forward to figuring this out. (By the way, everyone on the how-to-edit video looked younger than my adult kids, hahah!) BogusBill (talk) 18:18, 5 February 2021 (UTC)BogusBill

@BogusBill: The page List of month-long observances is protected from editing from newer users because of a history of disruptive editing, but even if you could edit, my point of the event needing notability still stands. You can still help with sarcoma-related articles though; I'm sure there's plenty of things to update. If you're not sure how to edit, the Wikipedia Adventure is a pretty good tutorial. ◢  Ganbaruby!  (Say hi!) 01:30, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

@Ganbaruby: Hello Ganbaruby. I am not sure what you mean by your statement, "The page List of month-long observances is protected from editing from newer users because of a history of disruptive editing, but even if you could edit, my point of the event needing notability still stands." Notability was not mentioned in your one message to me previously. So how do I show notability? Sarcoma is a rare cancer which often has delayed diagnosis because of lack of awareness on the part of both patients and physicians. Surely that should make it at least as notable as "Hexagonal Awareness Month" in March, or "International Masturbation Month" in May, or the mysterious "ME/CFS Awareness Month" (also May), which only has a reference to Chase's Calendar of Events. Numerous organizations celebrate July as Sarcoma Awareness Month, and Chase's Calendar of Events has included it; they obviously are recognized as a reliable resource. Here are some URLs for information. I could cite many more. Please let me know what I need to provide to show notability. Thank you for any help! BogusBill (talk) 03:42, 8 February 2021 (UTC)BogusBill

@BogusBill: I've removed a bunch of them. List inclusion criteria is tricky: either everything is notable or everything is non-notable (WP:CSC). Notability basically means whether or not a subject should have an article on Wikipedia, which is demonstrated by significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. In this list's case, we need every entry to be notable; they don't need to have a Wikipedia article yet, but enough sources must be provided so that it's clear that notability is met. In your case, I don't see enough independent sources to convincingly tell me that Sarcoma Awareness Month is notable enough (note that I'm not questioning that the event exists). We need to see that people completely unrelated to the event show interest that they write something about it. Also, see Wikipedia:Other stuff exists. ◢  Ganbaruby!  (Say hi!) 04:02, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

@Ganbaruby: Thanks for the further explanation. You say: “We need to see that people completely unrelated to the event show interest that they write something about it.” So - can we have an entry that links to the Sarcoma Wikipedia entry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcoma which mentions the Month- In the US, July is widely recognized as Sarcoma Awareness Month.[31] The UK has a Sarcoma Awareness Week in July led by Sarcoma UK, the bone and soft-tissue cancer charity.[32]) and cite some or all of these unrelated and independent references? https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-resolution/188/all-info https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-resolution/276/text https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/sarcoma-awareness-month/ https://www.fox10tv.com/news/recognizing-and-treating-sarcoma/article_24508aa6-a295-11e9-81b1-5bda69cc9926.html https://www.wcia.com/ciliving-tv/sarcoma-awareness-month/ I or someone else might eventually write a separate entry for Sarcoma Awareness Month. If that is enough, don't bother reading the rest of this lengthy message! But if it isn't enough, the reason I ask for this is that this would seem to exceed the criteria by which many other health-related months are listed. Frankly, it is usually people related in some way who have interest in those. For example, Lyme Disease Awareness Month, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Awareness Month, and National Celiac Disease Awareness Month don’t have separate Wikipedia entries and only one reference to a generic book with no indication what it contains. Oddly, there is also a separate Celiac Awareness Month which links to the entry for Celiac Disease, but the brief mention of Month in that entry has two references, not independent sources. Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month links to the Alzheimer’s entry but there is no mention of the Month there, and the single reference is a 2015 CNN story about brain activities to keep you sharp, and not about the month - the only reference to that is through links to the Alzheimer’s Association, and thus isn’t really “unrelated”. However, I am NOT suggesting you remove any of these! All I am saying is use the same criteria and add Sarcoma Awareness Month. Others with entries, such as Jazz Appreciation Month only has references in the entry and none are independent. Mathematics Appreciation Month (no longer called that apparently) has a couple of related references and nothing in the entry that indicates independence. I could go on and on about whether there are any “independent sources” for National Poetry Writing Month, National Volunteer Month, School Library Month, Second Chance Month, even National Distracted Driving Month, and many others. Again, I am NOT suggesting you remove any of these! Again, all I’m saying is please add Sarcoma Awareness Month. Thanks for any help! BogusBill (talk) 16:56, 8 February 2021 (UTC)BogusBill

@BogusBill: Sources are better, and I think it could be reasonably be added in. I'm also going to go and remove some more entries (hah), but please read Wikipedia:Other stuff exists. ◢  Ganbaruby!  (Say hi!) 00:07, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Stub for horlah

Thanks for the response. Apart from playing in the National U20 team; he also played for Dunkwa United in Ghana (2017/2018), played for ABS FC in Nigeria (2018-2020). And it has reference; that's why I asked for stub for him Jhonnnnny (talk) 07:44, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

@Jhonnnnny: WP:NFOOTY specifically asks that the subject played in any game defined in WP:FPL, which I don't see that Horlah Oladeji has.
