Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Diborane (data page)

Thanks for the good close. My Wikidata skills are actually pretty weak, but I am interested in improving them, and tackling this transwiki'ing seems like a decent learner project. Could you draftify the deleted article so that I can figure out what I need to do? — Charles Stewart (talk) 12:59, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Charles, happy to do so - Draft:Diborane (data page). Let me know if you need anything else. Cheers, Daniel (talk) 19:32, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There were two datapoints that I added to that Wikidata page, both frustratingly unsourced, one of which is very important so this was not only educational but beneficial. I'd be grateful if you could ask the Wikidata admin you talked to to check what I did: they're the last five edits on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q407684 — Charles Stewart (talk) 02:34, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

One Disease

Hello, Daniel? Happy New Year, after writing the content of this page on my sandbox, I found out that the page was already on wiki but it's a redirect. Anyway, I found out that it was you who made the decision to make the page a redirect as per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/One Disease .... Can you please have a look at my version of the page and tell me if it was sourced properly. Thanks. Notadogbutafish (talk) 00:14, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Notadogbutafish, have you been approached by anyone at this business, or anyone acting on their behalf, to write this article? Daniel (talk) 01:23, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No, I learned about the organization after reading this page. Notadogbutafish (talk) 05:37, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
My view is the content is far too similar to the original article to be that much of a coincidence. If you wrote this in your sandbox without knowledge of the existing article ("after writing the content of this page on my sandbox, I found out that the page was already on wiki but it's a redirect"), how do you have the entire "Notifiable disease" section be the same between the deleted version and your brand new, didn't-know-about-the-old-article version? The only way I can see that happening, is if you were working under contract for the subject, and they provided it to you.
The fact that the original creator of the article has been blocked as an undisclosed paid editor (ie. it is a very reasonable assumption that this subject is paying people to write an article about them) isn't helping your cause. For those reasons I decline your request to restore the article over the top of the AfD outcome, and direct you to WP:DRV. Note that if you appeal at DRV, the potential relationship between you and the subject will be explored exensively as part of the process, so please consider if you wish that to occur (understanding that failing to disclose a financial arrangement with the subject of an article is a breach of Wikimedia's Terms of Use). Daniel (talk) 06:19, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I understand, and thanks for pointing that out for me. Notadogbutafish (talk) 10:23, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators' newsletter – January 2022

News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2021).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following consensus at the 2021 RfA review, the autopatrolled user right has been removed from the administrators user group; admins can grant themselves the autopatrolled permission if they wish to remain autopatrolled.

Arbitration

Miscellaneous

  • The functionaries email list (functionaries-en@lists.wikimedia.org) will no longer accept incoming emails apart from those sent by list members and WMF staff. Private concerns, apart from those requiring oversight, should be directly sent to the Arbitration Committee.

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

From AN

Honestly I do not blame you for how you interpret my actions, in the past I wasn't exactly a “model citizen” although I excelled and still excel in nabbing UPE my methods in the past were too antagonist (prior July 2021 were unbecoming) To be honest, in retrospect, I can’t even believe certain unbecoming statements i made, since then I have become older and wiser, I honestly do accept all the blame, they were childish and rude, my only hope is you looking into my contributions and see for yourself that whilst I’m not perfect, I’m sincerely putting in work and have abided to civility to the best of my ability. A happy new year to you mate. Celestina007 (talk) 00:42, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Recent deletion proceedings on Scotts Fork, VA

[1]<--What exactly is the current status (and unavoidable immediate future) of this article, and what are the options for seeking a stay of execution? Scotts Fork is admittedly not exactly a newsmaking metropolis (probably much to the relief of local residents), but it's a lot more than just a placeholder in the GNIS. There's not a road map of Amelia County produced in the last 50 years, print or otherwise, on which the name doesn't show up; and the Virginia Dept of Transportation considers it noteworthy enough to list on mileage signs approaching it (one example is shown here): https://www.google.com/maps/@37.3575484,-77.8865709,3a,75y,182.82h,88.71t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sJgx5aeNmXTCxtV6_VNptzA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

Surely being small, quiet, and unobtrusive is not a capital crime...
