Howard H. Hays page

Hello. I was actively working on the page when you flagged it for speedy deletion. I did not know that the page could be reviewed or seen before I hit "Save" for the first time. I have moved the entire body of text that I was working on to my user sandbox at User:Stevenmg/sandbox/Howard H. Hays where I will continue to work on it before putting it in the article space. If you see any additional issues with it at that time, do please let me know. Stevenmg (talk) 20:31, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. The reason is because at the time I tagged it for speedy deletion, it was very short and had no citations. If you want to know why there is a notability tag on the article, ask Discospinster, the user who placed it there. Jinkinson talk to me 04:40, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Awards will be given out for all reviewers participating in the drive in the form of barnstars at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 1400 articles, so start reviewing articles! Visit the drive's page and help out!

A new version of our AfC helper script has been released! It includes many bug fixes, new improvements and features, code enhancements, and more. If you want to see a full list of changes, visit the changelog. Please report bugs and feature requests there, too! Thanks. Northamerica1000(talk) 07:09, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fine. I have removed the Speedy template, given both this message and the fact that you seem to be a relatively experienced editor. However, ideally, this page should be located at a title less disparaging to its subject. Just a suggestion, and I will stay out of other peoples' subpages in the future.

Closing VPR discussion

Hi,

Considering the feedback from the community at large, I thought it was sensible to close your proposal at the Village Pump, since the discussion didn't look like it would head somewhere. I hope you don't mind me closing.

Deletion sorting

Hi Jinkinson, thanks for contributions to deletion sorting. However I noticed you delsorted this deletion discussion under People. Where a person is eligible to be listed under Businesspeople, Actor etc. it's best to list them there, rather than under People as it just swamps that generic People delsort. For example a Painter would be listed under People & Visual arts whereas a Track & Field athlete would be listed under Sportspeople. A list of delsorts, alternative to people can be found here.

A1

Hey, Jinkinson, I've just declined an A1 tag you placed on an article. A1 is only for articles that have so little content that it is impossible to tell what the article is actually about, but this article (Church of God Rayos de Esperanza (Harrisonburg, Virginia, Pastor: Angel Echegoyen - Spanish Language)) is pretty clear about what its subject is. Also, in passing, it's recommended to give articles time before placing A1 or A3 (no content) tags on them, in case the author is still working on them; 10-15 minutes is generally the recommended minimum. As far as this article goes, it certainly doesn't seem to be notable at all, but as it doesn't fit any CSD criteria, it's probably best to use other means, like PROD or AFD. Thanks, Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 17:27, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You tagged The Mione Formation with WP:CSD#A3. The tag applies, but you tagged it only three minutes after its creation. Please don't do that again (see above).--Bbb23 (talk) 17:22, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, sorry. I'll try to wait 10 minutes next time, I hope that's sufficient. Jinkinson talk to me 17:26, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
10 minutes is the minimum per the footnote. If it makes you feel any better, an administrator deleted the article prematurely, so you're not alone. :-) --Bbb23 (talk) 18:34, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Futanari Page

Why are you protecting Niabot's image? It is needlessly pornographic, adds very little to the article, and makes the page look unprofessional. He only protects it because he is personally attached to it. 70.112.2.185 (talk) 13:57, 5 December 2013 (UTC) I agree, 70.112.2.185. That image is unnessecary and why hasn't it been removed yet? It's disgusting! IBCPirates (talk) 23:01, 16 April 2014 (UTC)IBCPirates[reply]

I don't like it either. However, Wikipedia is not censored and a lot of discussion has gone into the debate over whether this image should be there. If you want it to be removed go to the talk page and make your case there. Also, see WP:NPA. Jinkinson talk to me 14:00, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
After a certain point someone needs to step in and stop people from adding needless graphic content to pages, even if others agree. Letting the article's state be dictated by whoever spends the most time arguing just isn't a viable path. 70.112.2.185 (talk) 00:40, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional tone and citation

You said it is a promotional tone. Would help me in this regard? How not to make it promotional especially if it is an introduction about something?

You have asked about citation that I will work on as long as the article does not go into delete section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quwatkhan (talk • contribs) 06:28, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What the article needs are reliable sources independent of the subject, so that rules out The Dardistan Times' Facebook and Twitter pages, for example. By "promotional tone" I am referring to the use of peacock terms such as "hard-hitting"; Wikipedia articles should not be written like an advertisement. Additionally, there are problems with, for example, the UNHCR source, in which the Times is mentioned, but it is not the subject of the UNHCR article. Read WP:WEBCRIT for more information.

"Something sweet artisan cafe's" article

Hello Jinkinson.Could you help me please to clarify where the issues are in the article ? (if you have the time at the moment that is) Thanks Sugarbasin (talk) 00:20, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Take the sentence "Founded by three brothers with a passion of doing something different in the credit boom." This suggests that you may have a connection with this company and/or its founders, as it is not sourced. Which brings me to the need for more reliable sources--the article currently has only one, and much of it seems to be original research, which Wikipedia generally frowns upon. In retrospect, it's not that promotional, but it could do without sentences like the one I quoted above. Jinkinson talk to me 00:26, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok well, i just made a few edits and changed the sentence you highlighted. would you mind checking it again to see if the changes are appropriate? Sugarbasin (talk) 00:30, 8 December 2013 (UTC) maybe remove the word >different< from the sentence also? Sugarbasin (talk) 00:32, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Immediate block can and should be sought

Hey Jinkinson. I just wanted to let you know that when you come upon an editor like Mormonpride333 posting blatant racist hate speech, you can report immediately to WP:AIV. Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy. Any admin worth their salt would block this account in a second (without the need for any slavish adherence to the normal warning scheme or even a single warning having been left), and it would be good if that did occur as fast as possible given the nature of the edits. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 06:06, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Autism journals

Hi, There are two issues with this cat you just created. The first one is technical: it is a subcat of Category:Psychiatry journals, so if a journal is added to "autism journals", it should be removed from "psychiatry journals". The second point is more fundamental. I'm not sure it is a good idea to have a category for journals on a single disease, because it gives the wrong impression, namely that these are the only journals publishing on autism. Almost all (if not all) journal in "psychiatry journals" will regularly publish research related to ASD. Obviously, you cannot categorize any journal that has ever published something on autism in "autism journals". For one thing, that would include all "psychiatry journals", and probably a good amount of "neuroscience journals", "neurology journals", and "pediatrics journals", too. Have a look at Category:Medical journals and you'll see that they are all named after areas of specialization, not specific disorders. In addition, I personally think that "autism" is actually a collection of disorders that look similar, but have different causes. Should that ever be proven, then we'd have to re-categorize everything again (but I admit that the latter issue is only very minor). Let me know what you think. --Randykitty (talk) 16:05, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This first point is a good one. I have removed it from the category psychiatry journals. As for the second point, I suppose that it is true that we see articles in journals like Nature that have to do with autism even though such journals do not publish exclusively in this area, but maybe a new name for my category, like "child psychiatry journals", would be more appropriate. Perhaps a thread should be started at WP:CFD. Jinkinson talk to me 16:13, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Removing the category "psychiatry journals" is not a good idea at all. You cannot have a "standalone" category, it has to be integrated into the category tree. So if "autism journals" is going to stay, it must be in "psychiatry journals" (and the individual entries removed from that cat). Making a cat "child psychiatry" would make more sense in the current framework of journal cats, but that would add just 4 more journals. The psychiatry journal cat has only 81 entries, so I don't really see the need to split off more subcats. --Randykitty (talk) 16:47, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, you have convinced me that this category should not exist. It is now empty and I have tagged it for speedy deletion. Jinkinson talk to me 16:54, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Great, thanks! --Randykitty (talk) 17:00, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Do I have to add something

Hi Jinkinson, thank you for editing my new page. I'm new on wikipedia and I'm wondering about the text: "This article relies on references to primary sources. Please add references to secondary or tertiary sources. (December 2013)". The source is from 1go1.net and from the German version https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Lee . Do I have to add something? Would it help, if I ad links to the exhibition spaces, that the reader could see the artist name on this external page? Please also consider the mentioned books on the bottom of the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Lee . Best, monika

What I mean by primary sources is that several of the handful of links in the external links section are to Lee's own website, 1go1.net. It would help if you added links/references that weren't created by Lee himself. Other than that, thanks for translating the article into English.

Unfortunately, it appears the Jokerr's article is up for deletion, and is probably going to get deleted as it doesn't appear to meet our notability guidelines for musicians; thus his albums' articles will likely get deleted as well.

If not, would you refer a couple of music-based web sources that would meet your requirement?

I have found that the listed links, and media source, have been used by other musicians--including other Long Beach Dub Allstars' band members--as sources for their Wikipedia articles.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

DYK for Animal models of autism

Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 02:32, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

MEDRS

Hi. Could you please read over WP:MEDRS and make sure that you follow its guidelines when citing medical claims? In general, you should not be citing primary research articles. There are also discussions at WT:MED and WP:FTN over the appropriateness of your last DYK the hook for the last DYK article you worked on. Thanks, Sunrise (talk) 16:35, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations, you're the millionth person to tell me about MEDRS. I know about MEDRS very well, and I have tried to abide by it, but evidently I have not been trying hard enough. Anyway, I replaced one of the primary sources in Animal models of autism but I suspect you have an issue with the inclusion of the Hornig study, given that it is a primary source. However, I think it should stay provided that we say that it is contradicted by the views of every major scientific body on the planet, so we don't give undue weight to the discredited notion of a thimerosal-autism link. Also, I intend to add a reference to a secondary source to the Animal models page section about the Hornig study. BTW, I did not nominate it as a DYK, and had I done so I wouldn't have chosen to mention the Hornig study in the hook given the kerfuffle I knew it would cause. Jinkinson talk to me What did he do now? 20:23, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oh yeah, and as for my addition of primary sources on Thimerosal controversy, I am only doing what previous editors have done on that page, namely find epidemiological studies that contradict a link between thimerosal and autism and add mention of them one by one in the "population studies" section. I notice that you have removed the Deth study, the Hornig study, the Miles study and the Tozzi study. I can understand the removal of the first two, given that in vitro and animal studies are advised against in WP:MEDRS, but the last two should probably stay there, as they support the consensus view that thimerosal doesn't cause autism. If you're removing Tozzi and Miles, why not Hviid, Thompson, and Stehr-Green? Jinkinson talk to me What did he do now? 20:35, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the reply! I haven't worked with DYK before, so since you didn't nominate the article, I have struck and reworded my comments above and at FTN. Let me know if there's anywhere else I should do that. In the meantime, I've figured out who actually made the nomination and I will go talk to them instead. :-)
In response to your questions, I don't think whether the sources support the scientific consensus is an important issue in this case (the reason we have to check this in the first place is that due weight is determined using the secondary sources, which tell us what the consensus is). Perhaps my "fails MEDRS" comment in the edit summary was too strong (my personal standards are somewhat higher than MEDRS; maybe I'm misunderstanding part of the guideline?) - but the article already has plenty of primary studies with N in the tens of thousands or higher, so I don't see why we need these new ones with low N. For the examples you mention: I identified the sources from the history as those which had been recently added, so I didn't check the article in detail. Stehr-Green appears to be secondary (they did not collect the data they analyzed), whereas Hviid and Thompson appear to be primary. I would call Hviid a useful source for the article due to the massive N, but I would remove Thompson. I will hold off while I start a new talk page section.

Discussion about your list

Just a heads up:

Declined article creation Boon Tuan Boon-Itt

Hi Jinkinson, You decline the creation of my article "Boon Tuan Boon-Itt" as you say he is a non-notable person. He may be insignificant in the West, but he is notable in Thai church history at the first Thai person to start a Thai Protestant church (which I have now added to the article). He is known here in Thailand, even if he is not in the West. Thai church history is a very under-developed academic discipline, partly because of the small number of Christians in Thailand and the small number of foreign scholars who can read and write the Thai language. But I am trying to remedy that :-)

The reason why we don't yet have any well-known English language publishers with books about him. But the "Historical Sketch of Protestant Missions" listed in the References is published by White Lotus, a well-known publisher of English-language books about history and culture in Southeast Asia. But Southeast Asian history is not very well known, which is why you may not have heard of them.

Can you reconsider your decline?

Aaron Swartz

I have removed the "connected contributor" template that you placed on Talk:Aaron Swartz. While I can understand why that tag might technically have been applicable at one point, the fact is that given the number of editors who have contributed to the article and the massive expansion since User:AaronSw last edited it, the portion of the article directly derived from AaronSw's edits is small. In addition, the template contains a pointer to the conflict of interest guideline, which is no longer relevant for obvious tragic reasons. I hope you will agree that we can live without this tag.

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 article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

About that picture of me.

Hi, that picture of me was actually taken this month, not in 2005. I changed the date on the picture to make it "float" to the bottom of my Flickr pictures so that no one could find it there ... So much for that!. Thanks, Jeffrey Beall (talk) 20:06, 27 January 2014 (UTC).[reply]

AfD

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, as you did with Logo of Wikipedia. It was the correct link, and if you had clicked on it, you would have seen that. Sven Manguard Wha? 21:51, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I guess. It depends on how you define "correct," though--the link was clearly to an AFD for the article Administrators (Wikipedia), not Logo of Wikipedia, and I was under the impression that if you wanted to nominate two or more pages for deletion you had to create a separate AFD for each of them. However, it seems that, in fact, you can nominate 5 articles for deletion in only one AFD discussion. Now that I know this, I will be more careful looking at articles nominated for deletion in the future. Jinkinson talk to me 21:56, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've seen upwards of 20 nominated in bulk, in cases where the reason for it is identical (generally, also the author and timeframe is also identical, but not always). It's not common, but it's not at all rare. Sven Manguard Wha? 22:10, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Timothy Ball, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Telegraph (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of Timothy Ball

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Timothy Ball, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. jps (talk) 18:57, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Timothy Ball

You just beat me to removing the db tag from the userfied page. My reason for userfying is the close of the DRV at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2011 January 3. This clearly envisages that a new article could be acceptable, but I think you should check it out with HJ Mitchell (talk) and/or NuclearWarfare (talk) before it goes live. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 19:16, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Ashdin Publishing

The article Ashdin Publishing has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable publisher. Just being on Beall's list is not enough to make a publisher notable.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.

WikiCup 2014 January newsletter

The 2014 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with, at time of writing, 138 participants. The is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2010. If you are yet to join the competition, don't worry- the judges have agreed to keep the signups open for a few more days. By a wide margin, our current leader is newcomer Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions), whose set of 14 featured pictures, the first FPs of the competition, was worth 490 points. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:

Featured articles, featured lists, featured topics and featured portals are yet to play a part in the competition. The judges have removed a number of submissions which were deemed ineligible. Typically, we aim to see work on a project, followed by a nomination, followed by promotion, this year. We apologise for any disappointment caused by our strict enforcement this year; we're aiming to keep the competition as fair as possible.

Wikipedians interested in friendly competition may be interested to take part in The Core Contest; unlike the WikiCup, The Core Contest is not about audited content, but, like the WikiCup, it is about article improvement; specifically, The Core Contest is about contribution to some of Wikipedia's most important article. Of course, any work done for The Core Contest, if it leads to a DYK, GA or FA, can earn WikiCup points.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

New article for Baring Asset Management

Hi Jinkinson, first of all a big thank you for your revision and acceptance of the new article for Baring Asset Management. I really appreciate your approval. Unfortunately, I've spotted a typo in the company's name - it's 'Baring Asset Management' not 'Barings Asset Management'. Could you please correct it? There could be a tech issue with this as the relevant link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baring_Asset_Management is currently redirected to the Mass Mutual article. Please let me know if you can help. Many thanks, Kat Kt1502 (talk) 18:53, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. However, if you want to move the article to the new title (without the 's'), you will need to go to WP:RM/TR and request it there. I am not an admin and therefore can't delete the redirect you want to move the page to, but you will be much more likely to get assistance there. Jinkinson talk to me 19:00, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks for the tip. I had a feeling this was not going to be straight forward. I'll make a request on the page you mentioned above. Thanks again. Kat Kt1502 (talk) 19:33, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2014 February newsletter

And so ends the most competitive first round we have ever seen, with 38 points required to qualify for round 2. Last year, 19 points secured a place; before that, 11 (2012) or 8 (2011) were enough. This is both a blessing and a curse. While it shows the vigourous good health of the competition, it also means that we have already lost many worthy competitors. Our top three scorers were:

  1. Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions), a WikiCup newcomer whose high-quality scans of rare banknotes represent an unusual, interesting and valuable contribution to Wikipedia. Most of Godot's points this round have come from a large set of pictures used in Treasury Note (1890–91).
  2. Oh, better far to live and die / Under the brave black flag I fly... Adam Cuerden (submissions), a WikiCup veteran and a finalist last year, Adam is also a featured picture specialist, focusing on the restoration of historical images. This month's promotions have included a carefully restored set of artist William Russell Flint's work.
  3. United States WikiRedactor (submissions), another WikiCup newcomer. WikiRedactor has claimed points for good article reviews and good articles relating to pop music, many of which were awarded bonus points. Articles include Sky Ferreira, Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus and "Wrecking Ball" (Miley Cyrus song).

Other competitors of note include:

After such a competitive first round, expect the second round to also be fiercely fought. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2, but please do not update your submission page until March (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!

Arbitration enforcement warning: Climate change

Please carefully read the following notice:

This message is to inform you that the Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions for topics relating to Climate change, which you may have edited. The Committee's decision can be read here.

Discretionary sanctions are intended to prevent further disruption to a topic which has already been significantly disrupted. In practical terms, this means that uninvolved administrators may impose sanctions for any conduct, within or relating to the topic, which fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, expected standards of behavior and applicable policies. The sanctions may include editing restrictions, topic bans, or blocks. Before making any more edits to this topic area, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system as sanctions can be imposed without further warning. Please do not hesitate to contact me or any other editor if you have any questions.

A tag has been placed on Murry Salby requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Article focuses on the negative aspect that he was fired because of failing to perform academic duties. It fails on multiple levels including NN, attack page, etc.

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.

International College Notable Alumni

Faysal Ruwayha is a graduate of International College & was a Project Controller for the United nations for 23 years, in charge of improving all aspects of rural living standards in North & South Yemen, Lebanon, Syria & Jordan. Some projects included the financing of rural roads, schools, clinics, etc. The components of each project addressed the immediate needs of women, men & children which included starting fisheries, growing crops, teaching people how to raise poultry. He met with the impoverished individuals face to face & traveled to Washington, D.C., New York City, Rome, Italy & other destinations in order to secure the funding to provide the basic necessities that most people take for granted such as water, electricity & roads.

I would like to state that the above info is very important as Mr. Ruwayha has helped the world greatly. Please let me know how this may be added under notable alumni.

Most respectfully, Seekofjustice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seekerofjustice (talk • contribs) 18:47, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It may well be true that Ruwayha has done many helpful and altruistic things. However, this is not sufficient to justify having a Wikipedia article about him--for that you would need coverage in independent reliable sources (see WP:BIO). Also see WP:NOBLE for more about how someone doing many generous things doesn't necessarily mean they should have a page on Wikipedia.

Also, you can't add him under notable alumni until you have demonstrated that he should have an article as per what I said above. Jinkinson talk to me 18:53, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to summarize a complex field in a few paragraphs. Sportfan5000 (talk) 23:54, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I guess that might make sense if the "Background" section contained more than one sentence about Salby's actual research, appended to a huge chunk of science-y stuff which covers pretty much every possible atmospheric science-related topic there is. If you are sure that a background section is needed here, you should, in my opinion, whittle it down to stuff that actually pertains to Salby's research and leave out as much else as possible. Jinkinson talk to me 23:59, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well that's in process, as it will take some time to find experts who will help work through his dozens of papers, determine which are most cited/significant, then write it all up. I'm hoping that will happen, but who knows when. Sportfan5000 (talk) 00:43, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Okay... So why are you telling me this? Jinkinson talk to me 13:55, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • You prodded this in January. It's standard practice to inform editors who have been involved in an article when there's an AfD discussion for that article. JNW (talk) 14:28, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, I guess that makes sense, but only if your definition of "involved" is much broader than mine--I consider "involved" to mean that the user either created the article or wrote a significant chunk of its content. In other words, just tagging a page doesn't indicate that you care about its subject. Jinkinson talk to me 14:40, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You have repeatedly removed my edit to the page on Kary Mullis, in which I provide links for his rebuttal to comments on his Wiki page. Why don't you want readers to have access to his side of the story and make up their own minds? This seems un-scientific and downright denialist to prevent "the accused" to defend himself. If you disagree with the man or his views that is your right, but he should have an opportunity to defend himself against slander on his own Wiki page. If you continue to remove my edit I will report you for vandalism, but I would be very interested in your rationale for removing my posts considering you appear to be active and enthusiastic about Wikepedia as a medium for the exchange of ideas.

No, no, no, I already knew that. I decided to, as per WP:BOLD, just add it to Alzheimer's disease myself because I wanted people to notice the page (mission accomplished, I guess). I justified the violation of MEDRS you pointed out above because I saw that that section also relied on a number of news stories and primary sources (particularly the stuff about cerebrospinal fluid), so I reasoned that if other stuff had been added to the article that flouted MEDRS and hadn't been removed, then my addition would not be reverted either.

WikiCup 2014 March newsletter

A quick update as we are half way through round two of this year's competition. WikiCup newcomer Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions) (Pool E) leads, having produced a massive set of featured pictures for Silver certificate (United States), an article also brought to featured list status. Former finalist Oh, better far to live and die / Under the brave black flag I fly... Adam Cuerden (submissions) (Pool G) is in second, which he owes mostly to his work with historical images, including a number of images from Urania's Mirror, an article also brought to good status. 2010 champion (Pool C) is third overall, thanks to contributions relating to naval history, including the newly featured Japanese battleship Nagato. Rhodesia Cliftonian (submissions), who currently leads Pool A and is sixth overall, takes the title for the highest scoring individual article of the competition so far, with the top importance featured article Ian Smith.

With 26 people having already scored over 100 points, it is likely that well over 100 points will be needed to secure a place in round 3. Recent years have required 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) and 100 (2010). Remember that only 64 will progress to round 3 at the end of April. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page; if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

ITN thanks/advice

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your nominations at ITN. I know you've had a low success rate so far, but I do hope you continue. We certainly could use more stories. In time, you'll get a better feel for what will get support and what won't - and there are plenty of stories that can get support that are never nominated.

As a frequent nominator and long time ITN participant, I wanted to give you a few tips:

  • First, (except for obvious stories) the most important part of getting support is to write a good, persuasive argument as to why something will be posted. It doesn't always work, of course, but at least it prevents lazy opposes from people who don't immediately grasp why a story should be posted and don't care to find out. When you write snarky/frustrated comments, you aren't doing yourself any favors. It is much easier to win an argument by being nice than combative.
  • Second, if you want to truly lower the standards of ITN (a noble goal), I suggest you also take the time to comment on/support other people's nominations. You aren't going to win the battle with one stab, but overtime you can gently persuade people to change incrementally.
  • Third, as a small point, I recommend added your nominations to the current events portal (the box at the top of the day) at the same time as you nominate them. It takes minimal effort and allows at least some exposure to the story. (Portal:Current Events is link to from the the main page ITN template so gets good views.)
  • Finally, keep at it. My first crusade was to get more science published. Nowadays, science stories have a pretty easy time of it. Then I spent years trying to get more appreciation of "cultural impact", which appears to be starting to work. Now I am working on getting more acceptance for business stories. I haven't had any success there yet, but I will keep at it and hope to make progress, because if I don't no one will.

Your comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Franklin Regional High School stabbing

Hi. I see from your biographical info here that you are a college student. Thanks for being a Wikipedia editor. College takes a lot of time and dedication and I am glad you find the time to edit Wikipedia. Students have access to research material that us common citizens do not have and that is a valuable resource.

That being said, and by the way, truly meant, I fond your comment regarding Sandy Hook at the above discussion way off base. At best, a red herring, at worst, a lack of good faith. This is what I mean:

Franklin

  • Perp
    • Minor
  • Location
    • The high school the perp attended
  • Weapon
    • Knives
  • Casualties
    • Approx 20 wounded, only one with a potentially life threatening wound and he is improving.
  • Sociatal effects
    • The school may get metal detectors?
  • Life of the story
    • Remains to be seen, but there really is not much more to talk about so I would be highly surprised if it lasts past today.

Sandy Hook

  • Perp
    • Adult
  • Locaation
    • A most likely random elemntary school
  • Weapon
    • Guns
  • Casualties
    • 27 dead on the scene, plus his mommy.
  • Sociatal effects
    • Renewed nationwide interest in gun control.
  • Life of the story
    • Still being talked about today (witness your comment)

As I have shown, there is very little similarity.

Even from looking at the policies regarding the coverage of crime (WP:N/CA, WP:BREAKING, WP:RAPID), it is apparent that there are several schools of thought on how to cover breaking events ln Wkipedia. I favor waiting (in all but the most extreme cases such as Sandy Hook, which this isn't) until we have a clear picture of what has happened and what it will mean. It appears you don't, and that is just fine. Just realize that implying bad faith in AfD discussions does nothing to further intellegent exchange of opinion and neither does throwing out red herrings.

You may be happy to know that I have asked the AfD be closed as a snow. Good luck on your upcoming finals and again, thank you for being a Wikipedia editor. Happy editing! John from Idegon (talk) 21:46, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of New Gods (Withered Hand album)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on New Gods (Withered Hand album) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for music.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Kary Mullis

You have repeatedly removed information provided in rebuttal of charges against Nobel Laureate Kary Mullis and have insisted on slandering him without providing his alternative explanation or room for rebuttal. This is in direct opposition to the central purpose of Wikepedia, which is to provide an open-source conduit for a diversity of views, not a back-and-forth sniping and vandalism/reprisal cycle. Please do not continue to act in such a malicious manner. You do a disservice to the community and to science by being a knee-jerk denialist instead of allowing people to make up their own minds after being exposed to the relevant arguments. Please respond... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rjdavison 1 (talk • contribs) 17:16, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation join the new Physiology Wikiproject!

Physiology gives us an understanding of how and why things in the field of medicine happen. Together, let us jumpstart the project and get it going. Our energy is all it needs.

Based on the long felt gap for categorization and improvization of WP:MED articles relating to the field of physiology, the new WikiProject Physiology has been created. WikiProject Physiology is still in its infancy and needs your help. On behalf of a group of editors striving to improve the quality of physiology articles here on Wikipedia, I would like to invite you to come on board and participate in the betterment of physiology related articles. Help us to jumpstart this WikiProject.

  • Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProkect Physiology talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
  • You can tag the talk pages of relevant articles with {{WikiProject Physiology|class=|importance=}} with your assessment of the article class and importance alongwith. Please note that WP:Physiology, WP:Physio, WP:Phy can be used interchangeably.
  • You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding reliable sources. Sourcing physiology articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!
  • We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. That layout is here. These headings let us have a standard way of presenting the information in anatomical articles, indicate what information may have been forgotten, and save angst when trying to decide how to organise an article. That said, this might not suit every article. If in doubt, be bold!
  • Why not try and strive to create a good article! Physiology related articles are often small in scope, have available sources, and only a limited amount of research available that is readily presentable!
  • Your contributions to the WikiProject page, related categories and templates is also welcome.
  • To invite other editors to this WikiProject, copy and past this template (with the signature):
  • To welcome editors of physiology articles, copy and past this template (with the signature):
  • You can feel free to contact us on the WikiProkect Physiology talk page if you have any problems, or wish to join us. You can also put your suggestions there and discuss the scope of participation.

Query re access

Hi Jinkinson, just a question for you that your comments made me wonder: do you generally have access to the full text of the journal articles we are discussing? NW (Talk) 15:50, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I do (being on a college campus and all). Any particular reason you're asking? Jinkinson talk to me 15:53, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I was just going to extend an offer to share any that you didn't have access to in case that you didn't (it gets pretty tough to edit on these articles without access), but I am glad to see that it isn't necessary. NW (Talk) 16:29, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Repost of Category:Eponymous debut albums

Information icon A tag has been placed on Category:Eponymous debut albums requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion process. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's discussion directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use deletion review instead of recreating the page. Thank you.

Category:Films about Jesus

Hi. You've just created Category:Films about Jesus but perhaps you're not aware of the existing categories Category:Portrayals of Jesus in film and Category:Biographical films about Jesus? It seems this new category duplicates these categories. Tassedethe (talk) 00:06, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, I wasn't until just now. I tried searching for one but I didn't see any, probably b/c I wasn't sure what the cat name would start with. I guess I should redirect the one I created to one of the older ones, which I intend to do soon. (However an IP has been going around adding pages to it, which doesn't help).

Speedy deletion declined: Robert Vahey

Hello Jinkinson. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Robert Vahey, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Passes WP:A7, but may well be deleted in an WP:AfD discussion - probably best to go through that process. Thank you. Shirt58 (talk) 12:41, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Sketch (software)

Ways to improve We Will Not Harm You

Hi, I'm Akifumii. Jinkinson, thanks for creating We Will Not Harm You!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. If you could add a few more sections to this article, that would be great.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. AkifumiiTalk 22:44, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Adopt a user suggestion

Hi there, I saw you were currently accepting adoptees. I was wondering if you'd be willing to adopt me? I do a lot of anti-vandal work as well as patrol new pages and I think that you adopting me would be a good idea. I've got this page watchlisted, so to keep the conversation in one place, please reply here. Cheers! --Lixxx235 (talk) 02:16, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, sure. Ask me anything, just do it here because otherwise I probably won't know you've asked it. Jinkinson talk to me 02:31, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I guess could you review my edits? I'm not sure if I really need to get adopted anymore, because I got granted rollback rights and I'm pretty sure that means I haven't been making any inappropriate edits or anything. --Lixxx235 (talk) 00:40, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your speedy deletion of an article I created

Hello, your speedy deletion of an article I created is mentioned here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Milowent#Looking_at_deleted_article

You are personally misapplying and/or enforcing policies which punishes good faith editors. In my experience, Speedy deletion of copyrighted material is almost always brought to the attention of administrators by overzealous misguided editors who are ignorant of copyright law.
