@Davidhar: kindly have the decency to wait for a wikipedian with no COI to create an article about your subject here.

Thanks

Hi Wikicology - Thank you for removing the vacation notice from my talk page. I appreciate you keeping an eye on it, but I will ask you to stop replying to messages left there by other editors, especially when it comes to deleted content, because although I'm sure it's not your intention, your replies seem to be a little hostile (e.g. "kindly have the decency...") and I'd rather not have these people become any more angry than they already are when they realize their articles have been deleted or their contributions reverted. Sometimes it takes a bit of effort to be diplomatic when someone is obviously in the wrong, and I used to have the same tendency to be angry at them, but that was before I realized that the effort is what sometimes makes a difference with people who run head on into our policies but just need a little guidance and good faith to become valued contributors. Of course if you ever see my pages getting vandalized I do hope you'll help! Cheers and keep up the good work. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 17:28, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for approving the article for creation Richard Alvin Jensen, I think I must have submitted it for approval, while also submitting it for creation as Richard A. Jensen. Could you review the latter? Koncurrentkat (talk) 02:49, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I believe I just need to merge these two pages together, because the latter is the completed article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Koncurrentkat (talkcontribs) 06:34, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Koncurrentkat There is nothing to merge. in this case. Both article contain the same content about the same person. But Richard A. Jensen is prefered to Richard Alvin Jensen. All you need to to is to request the speedy deletion of Richard Alvin Jensen by blanking the page and place any of these template on it: { {db-Author} } , { {db-Self} }, { {Db-blanked} }. An administrator will delete it. Am ready to forgive you this time but I advice you to stay way from content forking. Am aware that you did it delibrately. Always have the patience to wait for your draft to be reviewed before recreating the same article through other route. Wikicology (talk) 07:54, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]


I removed the speedy tag you placed in this edit. I think he is allowed to write a bit about himself. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:48, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thanks. That's maybe a good plan. I usually don't, unless it's obviously a kid. But, WP:UPYES does exist for a reason. Best wishes. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 10:20, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

AFD non-admin closure

You should absolutely not have closed this deletion discussion. Non-admin closures should be reserved for non-controversial discussions or discussions where the consensus is beyond doubt. That is clearly not the case there. Admins are trusted by the community to weigh WP:CONSENSUS and make a determination as a tool-holder representing the broader community. And why not consider re-listing it? You have 3-and-a-bit months editing experience and your understanding of policy clearly doesn't extend to a working knowledge of WP:NAC or WP:AFD. Please don't non-admin-close things if you don't understand policy. Stlwart111 13:38, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • i hate to be rude! But don't come to my talk page to warn me if you don't have a polite tone. The discussion was closed because the consensus was obvious Keep. Its closure has nothing to do with my membership period. Your edit count and years of been here before me doesn't makes you more experience than everyone.Wikicology (talk) 13:56, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Your lack of experience makes it concerning. Your obvious lack of understanding with regard to policy makes it a problem. The fact that you've closed multiple discussions without following basic instructions speaks for itself. Stlwart111 14:01, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Stlwart111 14:04, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • I have reverted your closure of the deletion discussion, as there was no clear consensus as demanded by WP:NAC. If you wish to partake in the discussion, please do so, but until you understand the guideline at WP:NACD I strongly recommend that you do no further closures. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:47, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Crisco 1492: I just checked the AFD, and it was an overwhelming close to keep, which is what he did. It doesn't appear to be a bad close to me. KoshVorlon Angeli i demoni kruzhyli nado mnoj 17:12, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
KoshVorlon, it was a non-admin close of a complex discussion based on WP:OUTCOMES, WP:EVENT and WP:NOT with multiple potential close options and an obvious requirement to weigh consensus. That is, by its very definition, a bad close. This isn't WP:DRV - this isn't about the substance of the decision. The fact that it was closed at all is the issue. Stlwart111 10:16, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Stalwart111: I roundly disagree. The closer had to evaulate the consensus, which he did, correctly. The consensus IS keep (not just by vote, I realize AFD is not a vote) but by explanation of policies and guidelines. This was also not contentious. As that was the case, his NAC was fine. I noted you voted delete, so perhaps this is a case of not liking the closure... KoshVorlon Angeli i demoni kruzhyli nado mnoj 18:51, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
His NAC was a breach of WP:NAC and WP:NACD. Pretty simple really. You're confusing my not liking the closure with my not liking the outcome. I would have called for it to be reverted (and have with other editors in the past) regardless of the outcome. I spend a significant amount of time at AFD, very rarely leave "per-nom" style contributions and still have a near-90% vote-matched result. Needless to say, I don't get hung up on the three or four in a hundred where my opinion is different to consensus. You're at around 32% in case you're interested.

Royal Adelaide Golf Club

Hi there. I placed two copypaste tags on Royal Adelaide Golf Club as the article at present is pretty unambiguously copied from the subject's website. It does not appear as if you introduced the text to the article, but you do appear to be adding various references to the article that attribute such text to different sources. As you appear to be interested in cleaning up the article, could I possibly suggest taking care of the copy/paste problem? Let me know if you have any questions. N B S H (talk) 20:07, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

None but shining hours thank you for the tag and notice. I intend fixing it earlier but the extent of copyvio is much. I just detected it too. Feel free to tag it for deletion. Or do you have any other suggestion? Wikicology (talk) 20:21, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I went ahead and removed the majority of the text from the article due to the issues I noted above. In the future, if you come across an article that appears to be copied and pasted from another website, I would suggest either tagging it as such or taking care of the problem yourself. If you add citations to the text, it may give the wrong impression. N B S H (talk) 22:19, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Images needing articles

I thought you might be interested in starting one of these articles:

Species articles are my favourite. Sources are easy to find. They are always notable -- totally undeletable. Nice images. Easy to write.

Please let me know if you need any help. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:14, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Anna Frodesiak, thank you for your suggestion. I will surely be interested. I will get in touch with you if I need any help. Wikicology (talk) 23:35, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Some other Wikipedia projects that you perhaps could edit

Good morning Wikicology, I hope you are well.

I believe there are Wikipedia projects, or proposed Wikipedia projects, in the Igbo language, the Yoruba language, the Fula language, and the Hausa language. Specifically, the Igbo Wikipedia is up and running here, a proposed place for the Hausa Wikipedia is here, the Fula Wikipedia is up and running here, and the Yoruba Wikipedia seems to have a very lively main page here.

If you are fluent in any of these languages, you could perhaps look at contributing to those Wikipedia projects. I am sure they are very eager for new content by someone who is familiar with Nigeria. Also, as newer projects, they perhaps do not have quite so many of the rules and disagreements that sometimes make contributing to English Wikipedia difficult. (Although, they will of course still have basic rules like the rules on copyright infringement and respect for living persons.)

I hope you will look into those opportunities if appropriate.

In addition, if you have a camera, you could take pictures with your camera and upload them to Wikimedia Commons.

Happy editing! --Demiurge1000 (talk) 18:09, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Micheal Oladimeji Faborede

I removed the section on personal life because it didn't make sense to me, and there were no references to check to help it make sense. You said he was married to Dr. (Mrs.) Hellen. Is this her first name (i.e., Dr. Hellen Faborede)? Her maiden name? A last name she still retains? Providing her whole name will clear this up. You also said they were "blessed with chil". did you mean child or children? Either way, we don't typically include religious language in wikipedia, so it should be something like "They have one child" or "They have x children". In my personal opinion, his home life is not of encyclopedic interest to anyone, but if you put it back in a way that makes sense I won't fight you on it. ubiquity (talk) 16:39, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, I want to let you know that I removed the tag you placed on it. I find this very unnecessary. But if you have any problem with that I suggest that we should discuss it at the article talk page or with other editor.Wikicology (talk) 17:40, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Elaeocarpus obovatus

Hello Wikicology. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Elaeocarpus obovatus, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: as the link clearly states, it is a copy of this article, not the other way round. Thank you. SmartSE (talk) 20:00, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please, join me in WikiProject Lagos!

Hi Wikicology, You are welcome. It's a pleasure to collaborate with you on Wikipedia. Please join me in WikiProject Lagos and also invite other interested editors. There are lots of Lagos articles needing creation, assesment and improvement to good article status on Wikipedia. I will really appreciate your contributions. Eruditescholar (talk) 22:48, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ladipo Ayodeji Banjo, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cave Hill. 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.

Done. What sort of problem are you encountering with RefLinks? It worked fine for me when I tried it. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 18:11, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the assistant. Each time I run it, it will not complete the process but will suddenly stop. Wikicology (talk) 18:27, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Odd. It's never given me trouble like that. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 20:43, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Wikicology! Sure, I will work on the article: Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta. In the meantime, Could you please assist me further by creating pages from the uncreated red linked articles on the Lagos template at your own convenience?

Warning about afd

I am aware of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jhazmyne's Lullaby, where your nomination for deletion consisted merely of "I doubt the notability of this album". that is not a responsible nomination. I cannot judge notability for this sort of subject, but certainly your nomination has been challenged, and you are defending it with what might be considered excessive vehemence. This is a violation of the terms of your informal topic restriction. I'm not blocking you immediately, partly to permit the afd to conclude, partly because I'm notorious as an extreme softie in giving people another chance. Don't take advantage of it again. My softness may be extreme, but it is not infinite. DGG ( talk ) 04:37, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

DGG thank you for keeping your eyes on me. But i don't think that should warrant anything called a block. That nomination had been made before your last advice here. It was re-listed again after some days so as to reach a consensus. My participation was in good faith and I'm not taking anything personal or showing any strong feelings or anger (afterall AfD is not part of my restriction and I made it clear at the ANI that I will certainly participate in AfD). However, If you check my contributions, you will certainly notice that I had not nominated any article for deletion. You said I should not take the advantage of your softie again. Can you make it clear? I don't seemed to understand what you mean by taking advantage of your softie. is it for participating in AfDs or for engaging in an argument to defend my nomination that was re-listed before your advice or what? I consulted you recently and you left some advice and I don't think I had gone beyond that. Please tell me were I got it wrong so as to make an amendment. Wikicology (talk) 06:41, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have told you several times what you did wrong: do not nominate articles for deletion by any process for a while, and when you do start again, enter adequate rationales. I see you commented on one or two afds, and the comments you made were appropriate. That's what you should be doing now to learn. But the most important thing you can do to help WP is to continue your excellent work with bios of heads of Indian universities, an area where we are greatly deficient. DGG ( talk ) 06:55, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you DGG, now I understand you. I never nominated any article for deletion prior to your advice here. The Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jhazmyne's Lullaby was nominated long ago before your advice but was recently re-listed again. In addition, i had not stop with my articles on the heads of Nigeria universities and any universities related articles. That has been my major area of concentration for now. I would have love to be very active at "proposed deletion" but am a university lecturer in Nigeria, busy with so many things for now. Although that will not stop me from participating as well. Please each time you mention a "block" I feel bad. Wikicology (talk) 07:57, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
