Unreferenced BLP tags

How are you determining which articles to tag as unreferenced? I keep coming across ones you've tagged that already have the 'BLP unreferenced' template such as Gledis Tafaj and Andrea Tafi (cyclist). --Jezebel'sPonyo^shhh 19:49, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Database reports/Possibly unreferenced biographies of living people. I am trying to avoid them, but I guess not good enough. Rettetast (talk) 19:53, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

No worries, I just wanted to make sure there was a human behind the edits - I'll just delete the redundant tags if I come across them on my watchlist. Cheers, --Jezebel'sPonyo^shhh 19:58, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Not always sure myself. Rettetast (talk) 20:00, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

On a related note, the page Commerce minister has repeatedly been tagged as unreferencedBLP or category:Living people, often with AWB or by bots. I think I've fixed this by removing an internal link to Faruk Khan, the (living) Commerce Minister of Bangladesh. I wonder if there are other non-BLP pages being tagged as unreferencedBLP.

Thanks for the note Cnilep. I have done the tagging manually but a few errors is certainly possible. Rettetast (talk) 18:46, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Sorting

Please don't edit in this way [1] - this resulted in a bot missorting the article.[2] Haukur (talk) 22:18, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Project tagging for WPSweden

Hello Rettetast, I noticed that you had project-tagged another batch of Sweden-related articles, so I justed stepped by to say thanks for that! I'm deeply concerned at the present BLP mass deletions trend, and a quick inspection of the deletions list confirmed my gut feeling that a significant portion of the Sweden-related biographies remain untagged, despite a large growth in the number of articles within the project. (That slightly more articles are tagged for WPNorway than for WPSweden has contributed to that gut feeling.) As an increased avalanche of AfDs and PRODs over the next couple of months seem inevitable, and with project tagging, there would at least be a possibility to take a look at some them before they're all nuked to oblivion. Having them on the cleanup lists is of course also helpful, in case one would see any realism in systematically improving thousands of articles proactively despite little evidence of editors available to do so (sigh!). As I'm using a Mac at home (and one with not-to-updated version of MacOS at that), AWB is not available for me, so this assistance from you is much appreciated. I fully understand that WPSweden is not your primary focus, but if you would find time and inspiration to do more of this sometime it would be appreciated, in particular for biographic articles. Best regards, Tomas e (talk) 22:43, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Of course. It was the BLP drive that made me do the last tagging, but i will look for more. I only did the ones tagged with a stub template, but I can expand the search for articles in the subcats of Category:Swedish people. However it is easy to go deep and get too any false positives. I'll look into it. Rettetast (talk) 00:58, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Good. Just add it too the article, but please no {{current}}-template. Rettetast (talk) 23:31, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Azar Karadas

Hi.

I was the guy who edited the Trivia section of Azar Karadas page. I wonder why it has been deleted as other players have pages concerning their names in other languages such as Luis Boa Morte. There was no wrong information and I see nothing against the Wikipedia policy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Baros1 (talk • contribs) 15:15, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

WP:TRIVIA. It was in my view unimportant and unsourced information. Rettetast (talk) 15:35, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

What is unimportant for some maybe interesting for others. I think it's unimportant to know if somebody is married or not and the names of their children and it isn't for others. If you need sources, I can send a screenshot from the meaning of "Azar" in a Portuguese-English dictionary. Otherwise, just take a look at the Portuguese League winners and you see that what I've submitted there is true, combined with his season's games that are already in the article. From the link you send they say "This guideline does not suggest the inclusion or exclusion of any information; it only gives style recommendations. Issues of inclusion are addressed by content policies.", so it could enter at the description of the time he played for Benfica.

Replies from Fågelfors-Glen

Well, I just think it's unnecessary to write comments without something important to say, but if it is a comment about the user page, då finns det inget jag kan göra, as we say in Swedish.Fågelfors-Glen (talk) 12:02, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

What do you mean? I don't really understand.Fågelfors-Glen (talk) 12:11, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Actually, not really. I just find it disturbing with feedback on a page about myself. By the way, how do you create those little boxes with "deutschkenntnisse"?Fågelfors-Glen (talk) 12:20, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

You are probably correct, I apologize for this unneccesary exchange of words, Fågelfors-Glen (talk) 12:25, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Editing Wiki

Rettetast, sorry to bother you, but unfortunately I don' understand the editing procedure, could you please help me with creating a userbox saying "this user speaks swedish as native language"? Have a nice day! // Fågelfors-Glen (talk) 08:58, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
