Please Review

@User:Graeme Bartlett Hi, I fixed the issues you mentioned for my draft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Cinnamycin. Looking forward to your response. Thanks


Draft:Way.com

Hi Graeme.

You recently undeleted this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_undeletion#Draft%3AWay.com and I started working on a draft based on this https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Business_and_economics/Companies/T-Z&stable=0#W. Can you have a look at it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Way.com? Provide any editing advice, help and image upload help, etc before I submit it for review?

Request of restoration of draft:Engr Babalola Olatunji

Hello please i am contacting you in regard of two things, first my userpage Tommygogd that was brought down and my first draft article Draft:Engr Babalola Olatunji this article was done neutrally , and i have been told to do declare a conflict of interest on my user page which i did, i do not understand why the article was brought down and also my page, this is my first article ever and i am doing this on a neutral point , is it possible for a person who does not have any contribution or whatsover to be paid for creating article, please i am pleading kindly restore the page so i can add more citation or for other contributor to be able to contribute to it , i am already getting discouraged because this is my first contribution and i have put so much effort in it than to be deleted, even if i am not given the priviledge to edit it , at least other contributor can for the sake of my effort.Tommygogd (talk). and if not please kindly restore to my userspace so i can continue to use it to pratice. but I wish you know this can make some of us trying to put effort in Wikipedia sad.

@Tommygogd: I restored the draft Draft:Babalola Olatunji because I failed to notice that it had previously been deleted by Anthony Bradbury as advertising. I see that you have asked Anthony Bradbury for restore. So that is the appropriate procedure. If you rewrite, to improve the tone - do not include text like: "a popular news post", "furthered his career". Also leave off the training courses attended, as that is for a curriculum vitae. Also biographical details such as family should be properly referenced, otherwise it suggests that you know the person and my be outing previously unpublished information. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:39, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Graeme Bartlett: Thanks a lot, you are the most intelligent ones out of all the people that has been denying my post all this while , your explanation and guidline now makes me know all the mistake i made in the article , i cant thank you enought for this insight , because i still wondered what i did wrong in the article , thanks a lot Graeme Bartlett God bless you for this little kinded Tips you gave me , please kindly help me request that Anthony Bradbury restore the draft if you can because he has not responded to me please i will be so glad. i will also do all this information you gave me now and clean up the article better with this guideline Tommygogd (talk) Tommygogd (talk) 22:40, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Graeme Bartlett: hi , i have messaged Anthony Bradbury but he has not replied or even do anything on my comment on his talk page , and according to the wikipedia rules i guess any one of the admin can undo whatever other admin do if you see reason to, please kindly help in restoring my user page and this article if you can please, i dont want to start the article from scratch again after so much work i had put into this, i just want to take my time and edit the article properly till i get it right , then i can now be contributing more to wikipedia on my own without stress , if i have to start all over again i might still make mistake but my previous version will allow me to make corrections and see where my mistakes are because of next time, i am using this to learn and to contribute to wikipedia. thanks , i will be very glad if you can do something about it Tommygogd (talk) 20:36, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I would not normally reverse the actions of another administrator outside the policy reasons. I might do so if the action was obviously a mistake. WP:DRV is for the situation you have, where the administrator does not respond. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:27, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request to Undelete Lillee Jean a/k/a Lillee Jean Trueman

Any hope of restoring the wonderful work you were doing on https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft_talk:Lillee_Jean_Trueman&action=edit&redlink=1 - she has alot of news worthy articles on her advocacy for cyberbullying (something she is invested in, being a victim herself), as well as environmental issues, and advocacy against anti-semitism? I know someone asked for her page to be created under her stage name Lillee Jean, but I remembered that you had an amazing draft you were working on.

paste here text of Blink the Mole

What was the most complete revision of the article Blink the Mole (I think it was an article before it became a redirect)? 2005-Fan (talk) 23:37, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Blink the Mole is a fictional character from Spyro: A Hero's Tail. He was rescued from a cage in the Crocovile Swamp by Spyro.

Blink is the Professor's nephew. He loves to be underground, citing "fresh-air-a-phobia" as his reason, along with being a mole. He is a friendly character who helps Spyro defeat Red the Dragon. Blink is sometimes called "Blinky". Blink is strong and he can do punches and butt bounces. Blink has strong lasers that can defeat most enemies. If the enemies are strong, he can just simply bomb them or zap them with a laser. Blink also has first person targeting goggles, which can detect enemies and can zoom in up to five times than normal (which helps with aiming lasers as well). Blink might say things like "Can I explore below ground?" or "You know I love it down there."

Appearances

Blink has so far only appeared in three games: Spyro A Hero's Tail, Spyro: Shadow Legacy and Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy (and Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage).

apologies

Hi. I hope you are doing well.
I was going through my old edits, and realised I had posted quite a few messages to your talkpage. When I read(ed) them again in your archives, it seems that I was kind of rude, and mean to you. I dont remember the reason behind it though. I want to apologise for that. I am truly, very sorry for my behaviour in the past. I hope I didnt mean it back then. I also hope you forgive me.

Wojciech Karlowski

Back in March you edited the article on Wojciech Karlowski, rewording a sentence that you considered puffery. It was indeed puffery, and it's not the only example in the article. On checking the history I saw that the article was created by Msciszewianka, and she has made a very high proportion of the edits. According to her user page her married name is Dorota Karlowska, a name that strongly suggests who she is married to, without proving it, of course. In the past I've seen tags on articles suggesting the creator is too closely associated with the subject, but I can't find an example now, and I don't know how to put such a tag. Do you have any advice? Incidentally, although Professor Karlowski is not totally insignificant, I'm surprised that he was considered notable enough to have his own article.

Crystal systems

Hi!

Yes, I am a native Russian speaker. I am not a professional chemisist but respect the subject starting from my classes in the school. As for my recent articles, yes, I have translated many of them from the Russian wiki and added some other info that I managed to find. I do believe that these articles need some professional review, so I am thankful that you are around to fix the mess that I my leave unchecked.

I would also like to add visuals, but I don't know whom to ask for help.

Cheerz from sunny Moscow!

Digital Journal wikpedia page restored and deleted?

Hello Graeme, for some reason the Digital Journal wikipedia page was deleted. You restored it, but it was deleted by someone again. It was here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Journal

Could you kindly assist in restoring? There is no reason it should be deleted.

  • Not done – this Requests for Undeletion process is only for articles that were deleted uncontroversially, and does not apply to articles deleted after a deletion discussion. Since the article you are here about was deleted after a discussion took placeΒ at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Digital Journal (2nd nomination), it cannot be undeleted through this process. However, if you believe that the outcome of the discussion did not reflect the consensus of the participants, or that significant new information has come to light since the article was deleted, you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion, PremeditatedΒ ChaosΒ (talkΒ Β· contribs). After you do so, if your concerns are not addressed and you still seek undeletion, a request may be made at deletion review. @Chrishogg18: there was a second debate.

Zelda undeletion requests

Can Animals in The Legend of Zelda series and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker weapons and items be draftified for Zelda franchise strategy guide and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker wikibooks as well? Also, out of curiosity, what was the latest text of Rare Candy (a Pokemon item). 2005-Fan (talk) 23:21, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rare Candy is an item found in PokΓ©mon games that is rare (as its name suggests). When used on a PokΓ©mon, the PokΓ©mon will gain experience and go to the next level. Rare Candies are usually found in hidden places, and because they are hard to find they are often used in the Missingno. item duplication trick for the Red and Blue versions (when a player encounters Missingno. or 'M, his or her 6th item will be duplicated). They are also often used in the PokΓ©mon/Item Cloning Trick|Item Cloning Trick for the Gold and Silver versions ([1]). The Master Ball (the rarest item in the PokΓ©mon series) is also often used for these tricks due to its rarity.

Atomic spectra: why no principal series article?

Hello. I notice that you are the main author of 3 articles on atomic spectroscopy: sharp series, diffuse series and fundamental series, which gave their names to s, d and f orbitals respectively. However there seems to be no article at all on principal series, which gave its name to p orbitals. Do you know if there is any particular reason for the absence of an article on principal series, or is it just that no one happened to get around to writing one? Dirac66 (talk) 16:22, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Dirac66: The reason that I did not write it was that principal series was already existing to a redirect to an unrelated topic. I did not want to just add a useless stub. I thought about writing using the title Principal series (spectroscopy) and added it to my to-do list User:Graeme Bartlett/to do under Spectra topics. You can see the list of things I planned to write on and in the history what I actually did. But I have not done much of that list as I started on geology and now chemistry writings. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:44, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I have started a new article Principal series (spectroscopy). As for the redirect from Principal series, I have converted it into a disambiguation page, pointing both to the new spectroscopy article and to the math article where it pointed already. The reader can choose either. Dirac66 (talk) 21:59, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support on page Alkali sulfur liquid battery

Hi Graeme, I'm Rachel the only female electrical engineer born and raised in Knoydart in Scotland. It's an isolated peninsula, which is not connected to UK's main grid. I saw this battery technology being prototype tested in Knoydart in 2014 an to be honest I have an emotional bond with this battery type as it supported and isolated island community such as ours, which was suffering from fuel poverty. I created this article after conducting lot of literature research and getting in touch with the original inventors. I would be very grateful to you if you can give me some tips to further improve this. You had commented indicating the the article reads like an advertisement. I would highly appreciate if you can indicate which parts you are concerned about, so I can improve it. I started this as a little project, so I can help wikipedia as a reviewer in the future. So this is great experience for me. I have added a problems and criticism section, which I plan to populate in next couple of weeks. Many Thanks and Thankyou very much in advance. Rachel Rachel.stop.extinction (talk) 14:15, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Rachel.stop.extinction: I assume you are talking about Alkali sulfur liquid battery. Some things to think about: this is an encyclopedia, so put in there what our readers want to know. For example I want to know what substances are used in the electrodes and chemicals and their reactions. I want to know how it can respond within 1 ms to power line changes. How can it be scalable in power? How is it compare to vanadium flow batteries? Some inappropriate text is the bit on what it is "not using". Instead say what it is using. There is a theoretical energy density, but give the actual density for this implementation. "crucial to fight the present climate crisis" is puffery on at least two fronts. Most of the "Invention, awards and inventor" section is promotional in tone. It would be excessive to have that big quote from Society for the Environment, but what is actually factual in that quote should be described in the article. There is quite a lot of "according to" and x "reports". You don't need to mention that unless the statement is controversial, or is opinion. Otherwise just leave it to the reference to identify where the information came from. Also the "Edinburgh energy firm powers up with EDF in Perth innovation challenge" does not mention most of what is in the text it references. (incl 100 million tons). Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:37, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Graeme Bartlett: Yes, that was the page I was referring to .Thanks so much for your comments and now it's very clear to me. I agree with all your comments. I will remove all ambiguous and unnecessary text. If you ever get a chance kindly review the page again once I notify you after the changes...Many Thanks Rachel.stop.extinction (talk) 15:10, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Graeme Bartlett: Hi Graeme, thanks again for your guidance to improve this page. I have done a research over a month and have improved the page, addressing all the points you have highlighted above. I have collected, verified and validated a range of technical information about the battery, which the inventors agreed to share with me for sharing publicly. I have removed company names and quotes from other websites. In addition I have removed everything I could think of which were promotional in tone. Would highly appreciate if could do a review and give me some feedback. No hurry and please do when you get a chance ...Many Thanks in advance .

Request to reset Draft:The Holy Kingdom of Judah page pre bias opinion rejection

I recently had a page I was editing restored after a justified deletion. I made an edit and summited it for review. The reviewer deleted references then rejected my submission for lack of reference. The deleted references where material and pertinent to why the person was due acceptance.The reviewer unnecessarily destroyed work and now the research is lost. Please restore the page back to piror the bias rejection or if possible review the last submitted page. Thank you. SalihaRosio. β€”Β Preceding unsigned comment added by SalihaRosio (talk β€’ contribs) 23:44, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@SalihaRosio: What appears to be deleted was links to Wikipedia, Wiktionary, and online dictionary, and another online encyclopedia. Since these links are just giving more info on the words you attached them to, they are not really references on The Holy Kingdom of Judah. Instead you should link to the Wikipedia page with [[ ]]. We probably don't need external dictionary links, but if the term is obscure, just explain it in your article. You can link to Slave Coast of West Africa instead of a Britannica article.

File:DingiriBandaWijetunga 1.jpg

Hi Graeme. I'm not quite sure what's going on at File:DingiriBandaWijetunga 1.jpg. This edit overwrote the previously uploaded non-free file with a completely different file and this edit removed the copyright license all together. It might be that the editor-in-question thinks that photos found on an official Sri Lankan government webiste are PD or otherwise freely licensed, but that's not what the source website says. Is a split needed here or can the file just be tagged with {{furd}} to get rid of the replaced version? -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:43, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

the previous image appears to be a crop of File:DingiriBandaWijetunga.jpg. So it means there are three non-free images. Two will have to be deleted. I wouldn't bother with a split, just delete.Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:52, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough and thanks for taking a look. I'll tagged the overwritten file with {{furd}}. Just for reference, there is now also File:DBW-S.jpg which is missing a rationale and is orphaned. If neither of those things are addressed, it's going to end up deleted as well. -- Marchjuly (talk) 13:46, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

GHS phrases by module now

I have introduced Module:GHS phrases at the backside of {{H-phrases}} and {{P-phrases}}. There should be no change wrt previous usage & behaviour: same result in the 2600 articles. Also, some new options are introduced, such as:

List all available phrases (Template:GHS phrases § Templates)
Remove formal overlappings (Template:GHS phrases § Omit Rules)
List options added like inline, bulleted (Template:GHS phrases § List options)

Some more features are under development (such as: remove doubles). Of course, you can ping me if you encounter an issue.

BTW, could you take another look at [2] (Potassium ferrioxalate)? The GHS text added does not seem to be in place. thx.

-DePiep (talk) 06:54, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@DePiep: THanks for the heads up. For that Potassium_ferrioxalate I tried 501c, but it did not work - perhaps 501c is a propriety code. But there seems to be no way to add the extra text as I thought you mentioned. 501=text doesnot work as I hoped. the idea is the extra text only appears when you hover. I also included your omit rules in the javascript translator (User:Graeme Bartlett/monobook.js P-phrasefmt and H-phrasefmt) I use to make the template content from more freeform input. I am responsible for some of the duplicates, but I decided I should look at what I put in there, rather than try to automate a deduplicate. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:14, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Per the GHS setup, the codes are governed by the UN, so we can not add our own text nor propriety text. Full 2021 source is
"GHS Rev. 9" (PDF). Annex 3. 2021.{{cite web}}: CS1 maint: location (link).
This is also where the Omit Rules are from (i.e., they are formal too).
- |P264=text is not implemented yet, but anyway does not allow free text. It will only allow for substitute text like
|P264=hands into P264: "Wash ... thoroughly after handling."
- Doing duplicates is no death penalty. We have computers to resolve these. Don't worry. And: let the (future) deduplicate do the job, don't spend time on this.
- I don't understand your "more freeform input" js, but if a module adjustment is needed, I'll hear. -DePiep (talk) 07:34, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
My .js lets me paste text from other reference lists, and it converts it to the | separated list for the templates to use. It strips out the H and P, but it appears that that is no longer needed. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:43, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Great. And: yes, H and P now preferably kept prefixed. -DePiep (talk) 08:20, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
-FYI, another new feature: input is less restricted. "bad" charaters are thrown out, whitespace is removed:

File:Chucky (Child's Play).jpg

Hi Graeme. Would you mind taking a peek at File:Chucky (Child's Play).jpg and check whether it needs a split. The file was recently over written with a different image of the same character. Thanks. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:51, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well it only needs a split if someone wants to use the old image. Otherwise it can be removed from view/deleted. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:53, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. Thanks for clarifying. One possible issue though is that the older versions will eventually be deleted per WP:F5 which is almost always not an issue because the versions are essentially the same. In this case, though, the "old file" has been essentially removed and made orphaned by being replaced by a "new different file" which means most likely the original uploader isn't going to end up notified by {{Di-orphaned fair use-notice}} since bots don't tend to issue notifications for {{Orphaned non-free revisions}}. It appears from the file page's history that there might've been some other attempts at overwriting that have been reverted; so, perhaps that will happen this time around as well. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:23, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In Final Fantasy VI, the slave crown is a mechanical device used by the Empire to control the wearer's thoughts. When the game begins, the character Terra is wearing a slave crown, but after she comes in contact with the Esper Tritoch, she falls unconscious and gets nursed by a man who removes this device, surprised to find how swiftly she has recovered from it.

G4 deletions

Please undelete Template:R3 and Template:R4. The G4 criterion did not apply as my recreation of the page had nothing in common with the version that was previously deleted at TfD. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:48, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it was a very bad idea to recreate these templates while the delete of the other Rx templates is still in progress. By having those redirect, it causes the history of many pages to show the speeddy delete notice. It would be much much better to just show a red link. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:37, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That might be a valid argument at RfD, but it doesn't make the G4 deletion any more acceptable, because redirects to speedy deletion templates and r-phrase templates have nothing in common. My reasoning for recreating them was that most speedy deletion templates have a redirect from their two-letter code when there's nothing else competing for that name. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:12, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CSD deletion rationale for drafts

Hello, Graeme,

I've started to look over expiring drafts and deleting ones that appear to be an attempt at creating a social media profile like you'd see on Facebook. They aren't article drafts in any way shape or form, but they also aren't really "advertising". They appear to be the result of a very new editor not knowing what an encyclopedia is or what it is for.

The article title is always their name and they have information like their parent's names, their high school and what they want to do after their schooling. So, they have autobiographical information like you would have on a Linked In or Facebook profile but they are often the editor's only edit on Wikipedia. So, somewhere they got the idea that they should create a personal Wikipedia page. I've marked them both as "test edits" and "promotional". If there is even a hint of an actual draft of an article, I leave it to be deleted via G13. I sincerely doubt that any of these editors will return and make a request at WP:REFUND for the return of their draft but I wanted to mention doing this to the admins who regular patrol REFUND in case you come across this combination of deletion rationales. I wish we had a CSD rationale of "attempt at a social media profile page" but we don't so this is my temporary solution. If you have strong objections to this approach, let me know. They just don't seem like pages that should be restored as regular G13s because they aren't article drafts that will ever be moved to main space.

Thanks and I hope you have a great holiday season! Liz Read! Talk! 02:54, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well this sounds also like too much information disclosure from a minor. If I notice an article on someone under 18, I will decline to restore, especially if it's an autobiography. I will treat such a G2 G11 deletion as final. Maybe even needs an oversight. Happy Christmas to you too @Liz:. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 04:47, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Stripmarker error

This is a minor issue, but you have made a number of recent edits with the edit summary "clean stripmarker error", such as this one. I don't understand what this means for editors. Should Template:CO2 not be used? Has it been or is it about to be deprecated? Or should it just not be used in some specific circumstances? Does the same apply to other companion templates, such as Template:CH4? β€” Epipelagic (talk) 00:15, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Epipelagic: These templates are currently incompatible with cite templates and are causing that stripmarker error in the references section. I have proposed that the CO2 template should not use CHEM2 template, as that is what is causing the "templatestyles stripmarker in" error. But the same issue is in all those templates like H2O H3O CH4. The discussion that triggers these edits is at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Chemistry#Help needed, so please join in. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:34, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that. I'm aware these templates don't work in cite templates, but many of the reversals you made didn't involve cite templates. β€” Epipelagic (talk) 02:09, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I use a regular expression matcher that changes all of them. {{CO2}} to CO<sub>2</sub>. I really dislike chem2 (and chem1) because of many problems, so at any convenient opportunity I will change them to use sub mark up. If CO2 template changes to not use chem2 template, then this change will not be needed. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:31, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notice

The article National Catholic Church of America has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Clearly fails WP:NCHURCH. No mention to be found anywhere of this denomination outside of its website; no mention in the 2009 Melton's encyclopedia of American religions or in Google books or Google scholar.

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. Veverve (talk) 14:29, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of National Catholic Church of America for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article National Catholic Church of America 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/National Catholic Church of America 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.

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)

DYK for Loess Plateau

On 5 January 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Loess Plateau, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that one of the largest and thickest loess plateaus in the world is the Loess Plateau (pictured) in China? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Loess Plateau. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Loess Plateau), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thanks @Theleekycauldron:. Should DYK for Volcanic and igneous plumbing systems which got 8480 views on 1 December 2021 be listed? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:28, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
hmm, my guess would be probably not? Just off memory, I think it got that number over a 24-hour span instead of a half-day hook, so it only counts for half the number of views per hour (the threshold is 416+2⁄3). theleekycauldron (talk β€’ contribs) (they/she) 09:30, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Joy Bridenbaker

Hello, Graeme Bartlett. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Joy Bridenbaker".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 23:00, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ironic to see this message to the user talk page of the admin who is responsible for many draft restorations. Ah, Twinkle could use some AI component so it knows who it is posting notices to. Liz Read! Talk! 00:04, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Liz, If I want it back I will restore it myself. In this case it was for Manhattan, NYC. who did not know how to make it non-promotional. See Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Joy Bridenbaker. But I don't care enough about the subject matter to improve it to article standard myself.

Lactates

Hi,

I guess now the table looks pretty much overloaded with text. I know that lactic group is sometimes abbreviated as La. (CoLa, MnLa2, etc.) Maybe using it will make the table more comfortable for readers?

Cheerz! Lamro (talk) 08:29, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well La means lanthanum, so that would be confusing, but I agree there is a lot of text. Perhaps it can just list elements, with oxidation state if important - eg Fe(II). Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:58, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Naval Piranha credit to user:Jagresta@bigpond.net.au

Naval Piranha is a fictional magically empowered Piranha Plant who first appeared in the video game Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island with many vines growing out of him.

Attacks and Appearances

Naval Piranha has three attacks, the first of which is a ramming attack. In the second attack, Naval shoots Nipper spores out of his mouth which become Nippers if they touch the ground to make Yoshi's fight more difficult. For Naval's last attack, he sends his vines to attack Yoshi.

A very easy way to beat him is to have an egg, carefully aim at the piranha plant (which becomes Naval Pirahna), and destroy it. Kamek will appear, scream "OH MY!!!!!!!!!!!" and run away. You then get the key.

Naval Piranha also appears in the video game Tetris Attack, as the second of four bosses. He appeared as a villain along with Hookbill the Koopa, while Raphael Raven had turned good.

Naval Piranha is not to be confused with the Lava Piranha boss from Paper Mario, despite the two looking almost identical.

Electrokoopa credit to user:Rtkat3

Electrokoopas are types of Koopas from Super Mario Sunshine.

They are the kind of koopa that have two electric spikes on their back. They come in different varieties: blue and red. The blue ones launch their electric shells at you, the red ones climb walls and ceilings. The best way to defeat a blue Electrokoopa is to wait for its shell to launch and stomp it. Otherwise, be in long distance and hose it down with its shell off and when the shell returns, the blue Electrokoopa will get shocked and die.

They caused a lot of trouble in Pinna Park which caused a lack of visitors. One green one slept on a door at the top of the ferris wheel causing it to spin. If you open from underneath, the green Electrokoopa will fly into the ocean.

Hookbill the Koopa credit to user:Jagresta@bigpond.net.au

Hookbill the Koopa is a magically empowered Koopa Troopa, and the final boss of World 4 in the video game Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. His name stems from his large hookbill jaw, hence the name.

Attacks and Appearances

To defeat Hookbill, one must pelt him with eggs until he falls over, and then pound under his belly. This must be done three times to win the battle. Hookbill has several different attacks. First, he will crawl to you on all fours, causing you to drop Baby Mario if he touches you. When you pound his stomach, he will withdraw into his shell and start bouncing around before proceeding to his next attack. After being wounded once, he gets up on two legs and starts running, again causing you to lose control of Baby Mario if he comes in contact with you. For his final attack, he will jump and attempt to body slam you. Once Hookbill is defeated, he falls off of the edge.

Hookbill appears in Tetris Attack as the first of the four bosses, along with Naval Piranha, while Raphael Raven became a hero instead of a villain.

Fierce Deity's Mask credit 68.210.248.127; 81.152.83.56; Red Phoenix (usurped); Chris Russo

The Fierce Deity's Mask is a fictional mask in the video game The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. It is the most powerful and final mask that can be collected in the game.

This mask is that of a warrior god, and has an unknown past. In the Japanese version of the game, it is referred to as the mask of an ogre god; while the name 'Oni Link', derived from this, is a fanon term for Link's transformation at this point, there is no similar reference in the English versions of the game. When Link is on the moon, he is met by four moon kids. Link gives his twenty normal masks to these four, and then meets a fifth moon kid. When the fifth one sees that Link has no masks, he offers to give Link a powerful mask: Fierce Deity's Mask. The powers of this mask are rumored to be as horrible as those of Majora's Mask, and when Link puts it on he grows into a large being resembling the adult Link from Ocarina of Time, but with a bluish-silver tunic, no pupils, and a giant, double-helix, two-handed sword. This sword can shoot magic orbs and is very useful against the three forms of Majora. It is equally effective against the other bosses in game, but cannot be used any further than the boss battles. Link's Fierce Deity form is considered to be the most powerful form that he has ever taken so far, while at the same time, his most mysterious form.

Cataquack credit: 62.195.1.136 and Rtkat3

Cataquacks are creatures from the game Super Mario Sunshine.

They appear at Gelato Beach where they are an irritating pest. Once spotted, they follow you around until they throw you high into the air. A fun way to beat them is to lure one, and then run to a tree and quickly climb in it. The cataquack will slam headfirst into the tree and will immediately be capsized. Only the red cataquacks damage you. If you lure a Cataquack to a sand bud and capsize it followed by your watering of the sand bud, it will fly into the air, and die landing on it's back (It turns to sand upon impact).

In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, the Cataquacks are obstacles in the Peach Beach course and they'll flip you in the air. They can be capsized by a powerful weapon.

Rings (The Legend of Zelda series)

Thank you as always! I might've forgot if I did request Cataquack seeing how many articles I've requested before. 2005-Fan (talk) 21:40, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AFC Helper News

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

  • AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
  • The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

thank you for add (chemspider) to 29-Norlanosterol

BTW, Norcycloartenol is reffered "31-norcycloartenol" in some paper[1][2] or "29-norcycloartenol" in othor paper[3][4] (SAME chemical), the reason is that zoology and botany are different in numbering of steroids side chain, 241 to 28, 242 to 29, can we just use Norcycloartenol as wiki article title if there is no ambiguations like 19-Norlanosterol to 29-Norlanosterol--Htmlzycq (talk) 14:03, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes you can use a name like "Norcycloartenol". If that is the usual name for the substance then we can use it for a title. It may need an explanation in the lead if there are other substances that might use the name too. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:42, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I see on your user page that you use JSTOR and I'd like to know more about your experience. By my calculations, a good 70Β % of the main JSTOR content is now available for everyone at Internet Archive Scholar, with full text search provided e.g. at https://scholar.archive.org/ . The service is still in beta, but I've used it for some source-finding and it seems quite usable to me; I wonder whether that's just my experience. If you have a chance, the next time you'd be looking for a source on Google Scholar or JSTOR or similar, to perform the same search on IA scholar instead, I'd be curious to hear how it ends up. Thanks, Nemo 19:07, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism at Edit filter/False positives/Reports

Hi, I've noticed a vandal IP 2001:8003:2225:9501:6562:6C0C:D657:390D vandalised the Edit filter/False positives/Reports page, the thing is that they did it at such a time (or in such a way) that led the bot to archive a vandalised report by someone else, and now I'm not sure how to reverse it.

Can you revert it, or instruct me in how to? I'm not sure if reverting both that page and the archive has any consequences for the bots.

Thank you – 2804:F14:C060:8A01:44CA:6E00:BBE0:33A (talk) 08:54, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like edits were reverted already. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:09, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I didn't see this earlier, but what I meant is that this was archived by the bot after the IP I linked edited it, only their last contribution/vandalism was reverted and I'm really not sure if reverting the vandalised report in the archive (basically deleting it) and then reverting the active reports to before they were vandalised will not accidentally cause the bot to do something unexpected. – 2804:F14:C060:8A01:44CA:6E00:BBE0:33A (talk) 09:34, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I have removed that with an edit. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:01, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite Protection on Sing 2 Was Fine

Hello. I was fine if you protected Sing 2 indefinitely, without a date selected. There's been a lot of persistent disruptive editing going on in that page. I think it's better if it was protected until its previous date, which you selected indefinite. Also when all that is finished, don't forget to add {{pp-protected}}. Thanks. 2601:204:203:5110:EC57:FF5B:301:C9F3 (talk) 16:52, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite was an accident as I changed the number in the wrong box on my protect page. I am hoping a bot will add protection templates! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:21, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, about the bot (MusikBot II), the owner of it is currently attempting to migrate it to ToolForge, and is therefore partially down from time to time, and I'm not sure when its coming back (Im currently having to sort the removal side of pp templates myself, no way i can also keep up with new protections of pages). For now, if you protect a page, please also add the template yourself, so the bot has less catch-up once its back. Aidan9382 (talk) 09:44, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well between you and MusikBot II, all but one were tagged, so I have now applied the silver lock to the last one. So MusikBot II is more able than we thought. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:01, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Thanks for frequently handling my REFUNDs - I really appreciate it. I am coming directly to your talk page to ask about File:Mercy for Animals logo.svg. The current logo is clearly {{PD-textlogo}}, but one of the upload comments states that the company has changed their logo. I don't feel like REFUND is the correct venue to request this. For all I know, the previous revisions are nonfree in which case this undeletion request is definitely not "uncontroversial". Would you be able to make that judgement call/undelete the revisions if they can be? Thank you so much! HouseBlastertalk 15:36, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You can ask at WP:REFUND as long as you can tolerate a "not done" answer! In this case one upload was PD, but the earliest one was the logo you see here: https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/us-policy/farm-animal-welfare/mercy-animals-international-cage-free-advocacy (chicken rabbit fish) which I would count as copyright applicable.

Purshottam Lal Page Restore Request

Subject: Request for review of the deletion decision dated 26 April 2022 of Mr Sandstein- Case of Purshottam Lal

Dear Reviewing Authority,

(1) The Article on me - Purshottam Lal- created by Ms Sneha and approved by Wikipedia for publication on 27 January 2022 was deleted under the orders of Mr Sandstein ( herein after referred to as theΒ  deleting administrator , or DA in short)Β  dated 26 April 2022 following a deletion discussion lasting 2 weeks. The final order said thatΒ  there was lack of notability and not enough secondary sources.

(2) Normally, the creator of the page-Ms Sneha-should have made the review petition. However, since she is blocked for reasons presumably nothing to do with theΒ  Article on me, she cannot communicate , and hence this review request by me.

(3) As per advice on Wikipedia site , I first took up the matter with the DAΒ  and sent him a note on 20th MayΒ  2022 on his Talk Page. He very kindly responded and wroteΒ Β : "Mr. Lal, consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Purshottam Lal was that there is not enough significant coverage about you in reliable secondary sources that are independent of you. That is needed for an article about you. Could you please read our guideline page WP:BIO and then tell me what the three best pieces of such coverage about you are? Sandstein 17:23, 20 May 2022 (UTC)"

(4) Thus, in his response, he did not mention the " notability " aspect which was the main reason for deletion.

(5) Since three independent References had been asked for and since most of my work as a writer and as a police officer had taken place in pre-internet era, I searched for feedback and comments of READERS of my articles in the print media since 1992 ( the year I started my writing endeavourΒ ;Β  more than 115 articles haveΒ  since appeared in important newspapers, and four books published , all released by two different Governors of Punjab state ), and also newspaper reports of my work as a senior police officer , and after scanning them ,Β  sent the sameΒ  to the DAΒ  on 25 May 2022 in PDF format,Β  uploaded on Wikimedia. It , inter-alia, contained 31 feedbacks in respect of 20 articles of mine.( The link to these additiinal scanned References uploaded onΒ  Wikimedia is as follows:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ADDITIONAL_LINKS_DGPIPSLAL.pdf).


I requested the DAΒ  to allow me to includeΒ  these or some of them as References in the Article if more independent References were required. Similar request was made in respect of References for police work.

A synopsis of these additional References was provided to the DAΒ  for a quick glance and the same is reproduced below for the same purpose.

I had the impression that the Wikipedia's first efforts are to retain the Article by making improvement etc if possible. However, the DA finally replied on 26 MayΒ  2022 videΒ  which he did not touch upon this aspect at all, and commented that the three most important References mentioned by me in the deleted Article were not sufficient to justify an Article on me.

(6) I understand AfD (Article for Deletion )is concerned with the substance of the Article whereas DR ( Deletion Review )Β  is concerned withΒ  the process by which the decision was reached.

(7) The following breachesΒ of due process took place in my case which deserve consideration .


(A) During the deletion discussion , the creator of the Article , Ms Sneha, was not allowed to participate on the ground that she had beenΒ  blocked. In fact, two posts made by her from her mobile data ( which was not blocked at that time, since only her IP address was blocked ) giving clarifications on points raised by certain esteemed members of the Wikipedia community were struck off. Thus, the creator of the Article, went totally unrepresented and unheard. This is a breach of the principles of natural justice and fair play. At least, for this case, her block should have been removed so that her view point could also have been available for consideration.

(B) MrΒ  Bonadea started the deletion discussion on 11 April 2022. He later blocked IPA address of Ms Sneha, creator of the Article, for the so-called sock-puppeting . When she put her viewpoints - twice- during the discussion through her mobile data, Mr Bonadea blocked herΒ  mobile data connectivity, too. He also struck off posts so put by Ms Sneha. Thus, in this case an inevitable clash of interest took placeΒ  leading to denial of the opportunity of being heard , by virtue of both actions - deletion discussion and blocking- having been initiated /orderedΒ  by the same party i.e. Mr Bonadea. This is against the principles of natural justice in any society/country governed by the rule of law. The blocking decision should not have been taken by Mr Bonadea as he knew that he had alreadyΒ  initiated the deletion discussion. He ought to have referred the blocking decision to some other Administrator. Thus, due process of fairness and unprejudiced discussion haveΒ  been violated in this case.

(C ) At least two members who participated inΒ  the discussion majorly misread the Article. They presumed that I had been the Head of the Punjab Police Force. No such claim was made in the Article. It rather said in the IntroductionΒ : " ....retired from the rank of Director General of Police". Thus, it was the rank which was mentioned, and not the actual post. There are a few posts in the Punjab PoliceΒ  , all manned by DG rank officers. Though the two gentlemen spoke in my favour, yet their impression was wrong , and I pointed it out at the very first instance to Mr Geoffrey Lane of the Wikipedia in an email dated 28 April 2022 (info-en-v@wikimedia.org) .Β  Such a misreading by not only these two esteemed members of the WP community but by some other participants also- like the one inquiring about the President's Police Medal for Distinguished Service in respect of which clarification was provided by the creator of the Article ,the same , however,having beenΒ  being struck off-Β  shows lack of proper understanding and appreciation of the contents of the ArticleΒ  by some of the esteemedΒ  participants. The number of participants , most of them not well-informed about the Indian system of policing except two, was also too less, about 5 or 6. ThisΒ  type of discussion amounted to a process not germane to a meaningful discussion , laying too much stress on the so-called independent References which , though present among the list of References, were not found adequate by the participants and ultimately byΒ  the DA. Instead of looking at the totality of the material available , they rather looked only at a part of it resulting in miscarriage of justice.

(DΒ  ) The DA'sΒ  final note dated 26 MayΒ  2022 on his Talk Page says that the first twoΒ  References mentioned speakΒ  ofΒ  my book , and not ofΒ  me. This is, to say the least, not a very correct interpretation. When somebody is talking about my book ,Β  he is naturally talking about me also as the book is my creation. About the third Reference, he mentioned it was by an organisation to which I belong and hence was not independent. First of all, he could not appreciate that the Reference was picked up by the creator by theΒ  internet search and mentioned as suchΒ  just to show my qualities as a senior police officer ,Β  and referred to my past association with the organisation ,Β  and not the present one as I am no longer a member of it. Secondly, I was associated with it but had no control over it. The Reference also mentions the names of the former Governor Punjab and former Chief Secretary Punjab just to show that I was, at one time in the past,Β Β  in the categoryΒ  of highly notable persons in the administration of theΒ  Punjab government , thereby supplementing my notability.

(EΒ  ) The DA'sΒ  final note dated 26 May 2022 is silent on the suggestion to allow, for improving the Article,Β  the use ofΒ  31 feedbacks provided in respect of 20 articles of mine in PDF format uploaded on Wikimedia ,Β Β  asΒ  independent secondary sources for my writing work, which PDF fileΒ  contained some References for my police work also ( all relating to pre-internet era). Perhaps these or some of them could have been considered for addition so that the Article could have beenΒ  improved and saved , as I understand that the first endeavour of the Wikipedia , as a positive step, is to retain the Article by improving it. Pre-internet References would naturally be in paper format, and only their scanned copies can be attached. Some 58Β Β Β Β  References ( out of which some might be common to the list already in the deleted Article)Β  also sent for my articles and TV discusdions for possible use in improving the Article were also not touched upon by the DA in his final note of 26 May 2022. ( Please see the link and listΒ  ofΒ  scanned References and other 58 in paragraph (5) above).

(F )Β  The Article was approved on 27 January 2022 by Wikipedia ( Mr John B 123- more than 1,89,000 edits and more than 248 active Articles to his credit) after satisfying about notability and References. No new facts came to lightΒ  after that. No falsity of any information was ever alleged. Hence, in the absence of any fresh material, it is not fair to declare the same Article as ineligble on grounds of lack of notability and inadequacy of References, though later the DAΒ  in his note of 20 May 2022 on his Talk Page did not raise the issue of notability , and only of secondary independent References. Thus , there has been an apparent lack of consistency . I think an Article duly approved by an esteemed and experienced Wikipedian-AdministratorΒ  should not be put up for deletion discussion unless fresh damaging material became available.

(G )Β  I have suffered loss of face by the deletion effected 3 months after its publication after due approval . I am now more than 75 years of age. My endeavour to write the fifthΒ  book- Origin of the Aryans-Β  which was half-way through, is stalled due to this upsetting development.

Keeping in view the totality of circumstances, it is requested that the Article may kindly be restored. It can, however, be improved by adding more References or even amending it.Β 


Thanking you,

Yours sincerely, Purshottam Lal

You have confused me with such a huge answer. That is why the request was for the three best sources. Three sources have to be reliable (so not a letter to the editor), have to be substantial (several paragraphs written on the subject), and independent (not written by the subject or their employer, or advertiser). WP:Autobiography is something to read, but it probably won't make you happy. PS your upload to commons was deleted, so we can't see it. Anyway WP:DRV is the place to contest, and please give a succinct reason to overturn the deletion. At WP:REFUND we could turn the page to a draft. But if it has been recreated many times or protected against creation, then a deletion review is best. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:46, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Normal drafts vs AFC drafts

Hello Graeme, while declining undeletion of Draft:Atkins (album), you used the templated response that said Articles for creation is not an indefinite hosting service... while the draft was never part of AfC. Isn't the message misleading when you use it for non-AfC drafts? Jay (talk) 05:53, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is the UND template with "2nd" parameter. Perhaps we can reword this template. In this situation I probably won't examine the draft, just the history to see that nothing at all was done. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:33, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have reworded it. But now it is inappropriate for userspace drafts. There are less of those however. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:21, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Userify request

Hello Graeme Bartlett! I want to ask whether there was any meaningful content in the now-deleted article Tista (manga). If there was any meaningful content, could you userify the article to User:Link20XX/Tista (manga) so I can improve it? If there was nothing, that's fine; it was deleted over a decade ago so I don't have any high expectations. Link20XX (talk) 17:36, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You deleted this page as part of a set of redirects to the 9/11 victims list. I'm not sure whether there were intervening edits, but as of yesterday this wasn't a redirect - it was an article (albeit short) with references. Could you please restore this?

Request for review

Hello sir, and I hope you don't find this message to your inconvenience.

I just want to ask if you would be able to review my draft article: Draft:List of largest galaxies. An earlier version of this list has been created way back 2015, but got deleted in 2018 due to many issues regarding the authenticity of the numbers there. In my newly created draft is my attempt to revive that list and resolve those issues, but I do still need to have a second opinion from anyone regarding it. Hopefully you heed my request, especially from someone like you.

Any thoughts, criticisms, or suggestions you might raise would be gladly appreciated. Thanks! SkyFlubbler (talk) 14:30, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Surely this article can be unprotected now? It's been protected for a decade. 31.55.134.161 (talk) 16:02, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Β Not done As the article is still being heavily edited, and there are few edit requests on the talk page, and those have not been actioned. You can ask for a second official opinion at WP:RFPP. I suspect an edit war will break out over whether she is Albanian, Kosovan, or Yugoslavian. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:35, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, about a month ago I asked for the undeletion of the page "International Dialogue for Environmental Action". You asked me to rewrite it as a draft which I did, but it wasn't reviewed yet.

Do you mind reviewing it to see if it's good to be re-published as a regular page? Thanks! Mriogrech (talk) 13:12, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Graeme, it's nice to meet you. I've been working on a draft for HB Antwerp, a diamond company currently mentioned in the Sewelo article.
