Hi, Tokyogirl79, a few days ago, you deleted a submission of mine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Workload_management_for_air_traffic_controllers, but your suggestion is really helpful for me. I've followed your suggestion edited my draft and resubmitted it. I hope you feel my draft is much better than before. Waiting for your response. Thank you. Zoe

Hello again - I have done a much better job (I think) of providing multiple citations from newspaper articles as you suggested, and have even formatted them correctly (I think). I very much appreciate your time and consideration. Best- Kevin/LSO

Edits to Population Zero article

Thank you for your explanation for your edits. One thing I'd note is that the removed material linked to C.J. Box's Wikipedia page, on which there was a brief synopsis of Free Fire that made the overlap very clear. Might that suffice, if the wording on the Population Zero page reflected that? 35.10.210.72 (talk) 14:34, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hiya! I gave a response on the talk page. Ultimately it's a matter of waiting for more coverage since the claim is something that could be considered contentious if Pinder caught wind of them and he could easily argue that we're including them based on only one source, which isn't the strongest. What we need more are things like THR and other outlets writing about the claims rather than interviewing Box. Interviews are always sort of questionable on Wikipedia for various reasons. Also, we can't really use the synopsis as a source since that'd be considered original research, which shouldn't be on Wikipedia. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 16:00, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Murtaza Khojami (M.N.F Music)

Okay so a article in the new page feed came up of Murtaza Khojami (M.N.F Music), which apparently you did delete Murtaza Khojami, it seems there was some sockpuppet going on before or a AFD or something, but not sure where the source of it all is, not sure if you can find out. Wgolf (talk) 20:59, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Wgolf, offhand it doesn't look like it's the same user - the prior version of the article had some extremely broken English, to where this user looks to be more proficient. The two articles look to be different content, since the current version focuses solely on electronic music whereas the other article had the guy as a jack of all trades. Offhand this looks like it might be about a different person by the same name. There's still some serious notability issues going on with the article so unless there are some foreign language sources I'd say that he would fail notability guidelines and probably even A7.

The Gospel of Simon: Revelation of the Sacred Mysteries

Your comments on the subject article were the most thoughtful and rational, which I appreciate (unlike others that had an obvious bias). Your points hit the nail on the head. There is an irony, however, that wiki relies on self published edits of its articles, but seeks an outside authority to assess the merit of books.Christopher Carpenter (talk) 23:17, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

user Africapress

Hi Tokyogirl79, I was looking at the article Mélanie Gouby as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/10 and the article creator's name (above) piqued my interest. The editor has done a flurry of article creations in the middle of April and that is all ie. Mélanie Gouby, Ty McCormick, Kevin Sieff, Tristan McConnell, Alexis Okeowo. They are all journalists/editors, some African.

Nice to wake up and find a cogent informed response, and the restoration of the Gill page. I'll certainly provide several academic reviews of his work shortly, which should secure some (relative) immunity against the mechanical deletion of that page. It is certainly in wiki terms a borderline thing: Gill, not only in my private estimation, is an unsung genius of the byways of Japanese poetry: the few academics who mention him acknowledge that. I just dislike the fact that labourers in the field like him are suddenly 'discovered' by the inattentive when it is too late.Cheers Nishidani (talk) 08:36, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again Tokyogirl79. I am wondering if you wouldn't mind taking a look at this article. Only sources cited are primary (Twitter account, etc.) and some link that doesn't seem to mention her at all. I'm not sure if any of what is being cited in helpful in establishing notability for a stand-alone article per WP:NACTOR, WP:AUTHOR or even WP:BASIC. Any suggestions on how to proceed in this case? It has been tagged with {{Primary source}} for over a year without any independent reliable sources being added. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:12, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mentor request - review of new article?

Hi, it's been a while :) Would you mind having a look at this new article in my sandbox. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Eartha78/sandbox/draft_1

Thanks Eartha78 (talk) 14:04, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Eartha78 It looks like you use quite a few blogs or blog-type self-published sources in the article. Be careful of using these since those can be very easily contested and in some cases, people may outright remove them if they (the editor) doubts that they are a RS. For example, I can't find an awful lot about Sam the Wheels, so be careful of that one. It's likely correct but you have to be able to vouch for these sources. To a degree Afropunk and openDemocracy sort of fall under this as well since it's not immediately clear whether or not they take user submitted content and if so, if they edit the content before publication. I'm not terribly worried about these sources, but it's just something to be careful about. The other thing that stood out was that you didn't cite which pages of Queer Domesticities or Black Artists in British Art you were using in the article. Other than that I did notice that you used primary sources but it shouldn't be a problem since you're only using them to back up the existence of various art pieces or Ajamu's statement on a piece. Those are all sort of just quibbles about the sourcing in general since notability has already been well established.
The only other thing that stood out was that the second quote seems a little abruptly put into the article. It looks like it's meant to come off of " in addition to his art practice, continues to document black LGBT experiences", but it doesn't entirely come in quite like the first quote does. I'd say that it might be a good idea to put it in a quote box to the side since that'd still keep the quote but make it flow a little better. Offhand this looks ready to be moved to the mainspace.

86.4.217.101 Edits

Hi Tokyogirl79 sorry to cause any inconvenience but I want to highlight the bad editing practise and vandalism of 86.4.217.101.

For the last couple of weeks he has constantly being removing information from 2016 French Open - Women's Singles. For their first couple of edits I continued to undo them but recently it has become a chore despite other users also undoing this user's edits.

Any attempt to communicate and compromise on the user's talk page garnered no response and all my messages were just deleted. The situation escalated last night with the user vandalising my talk page with abusive messages, both of which I have now deleted.

I would be grateful if you could find the time to review this user's behaviour and see is any action warranted.

Erina

Thanks for dealing with Erina language. I'm wondering though, whether salting this page might not be a bit counterproductive. The hoax article keeps getting recreated once in a while by a different sockpuppet, each time with a slightly different title, usually a variation on "Erina". The last time it was Еrina language (the "E" is Cyrillic), there's some info in the archive at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Najaf ali bhayo. When that happens again, I think it will be much easier to detect the suspicious activity if it happens on the original Erina language – a page that is already on the watchlists of many people. That's how we detected it this time: almost immediately after the sock made an edit there, while the hoax article at the alternative title had been lying around undetected for almost a month. On a side note, it appears to have been recreated as a redirect in good faith this time. Erina does look like a plausible alternative spelling for Arniya language, but that needs some investigating which I haven't done yet. Uanfala (talk) 10:05, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Our Romani-disliking IP is back..

When protection dropped off they just redirected the list again. Not sure what else to do other than taking it to ANI. They dont communicate on the talkpage (either the articles or their own) and have not taken the simplest of advice - take it to AFD. Only in death does duty end (talk) 11:53, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I've protected it again, this time for 10 days. Since they're on an IP and they seem to jump around a little, there's not much we can do. We don't generally block IPs for overly long periods unless the abuse is extremely common and rampant - and I mean rampant. The reason behind this is that Wikipedia doesn't want to punish someone who might be unrelated, but also because it's so common for abusive editors to IP hop. It's usually just easier to protect a page, to be honest. I think at this point a very good option might be to take it to AfD. I know that this can be seen as giving the IP what they want, but the benefit of this is that if the page is nominated and it is kept, they don't have a leg to stand on anymore. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:45, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well I did suggest that in multiple locations to the IP, but I ultimately dont see the need for deleting it, so I am not about to nominate it myself! :) I suspect given past decisions however that AFD would come down to keep - list articles are generally kept if they have a defined focus and are sourced correctly. The IP probably knows this which is why they havnt done it. Only in death does duty end (talk) 08:05, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's what's keeping me from nominating it as well, since I have a strong feeling that it'd end in a keep also. Still, it'd be a good way to get them to lay off and if they ever post on the talk page, I'll nominate it for them. It looks like they're shifting their focus somewhat to removing categories from pages, so I'm thinking that we may have to play whack a mole with the IPs and block what we can if it gets any worse.

Question

Why did you delete Fashion Week Online?

a) It was a different article than the one originally deleted. b) It was notable. Where exactly does it fail notability tests, with all of the citations, including Lonely Planet?

Would love for you to clarify.

With respect, it's easy to see why so many people see Wikipedia editors as a spiteful, cliquish lot.

Where exactly is the common sense? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Papeetlov (talk • contribs) 08:48, 27 May 2016‎

  • First off, please be a little more calm when asking about a deletion. It's not that I can't understand your frustration - I understand it all too well - but going in and saying words like "spiteful, cliquish" does put one on the defensive and isn't really helpful when it comes to requesting undeletion or explanation.
That said, the article didn't overcome the issues that were posed at the AfD last month. You put in a ton of cites, but by large these were the same sources that were in the prior article (which actually had more sourcing). Now the problem with the sourcing at the deletion discussion last month was that they only mentioned FWO in passing and as such would be seen as WP:TRIVIAL sources. What you need to establish notability would be in-depth coverage where FWO is the main focus of the article. Brief mentions as a source for news coverage isn't the type of thing that would establish notability on Wikipedia. It'd help argue that FWO could be used as a reliable source but being a RS doesn't make a site/source automatically notable. Also, the thing about sourcing is that you can put a ton of sourcing into an article but if the sources aren't the type that establish notability then it won't really accomplish anything. In other words, I could put 100 citations in an article but if they're all trivial, primary, or otherwise unusable for showing notability then the article would still fail notability guidelines, which is ultimately the main thing you'd have to overcome with any new article creation of FWO.
Now while true, the article wasn't written identical to the prior version, it also didn't overcome the issues posed at AfD. As such, it did fall under WP:G4 and I deleted it. Now if you want to restore it, you need to talk to Yamamoto Ichiro, the person who closed the AfD. I'll warn you - it's super difficult to establish notability for websites and there are actually a lot of popular websites that I'd like to add to Wikipedia but cannot because they fail notability guidelines since there's a dearth of coverage for them.

Vicente S. Santos, Jr.

Hi again Tokyogirl79. Would you mind taking a look at Vicente S. Santos, Jr. when you have some time to spare. It's another bio which is pretty poorly sourced and which has also been heavily edited by a COI (WP:COIN#Vicente S. Santos, Jr.). I've been looking for sources while trying to help others clean up the NPOV issues, but I am not having very much luck which means this could be another case of WP:BARE. For reference, I've asked about this on talk pages of the three WikiProjects listed on the article's talk page and have gotten some response, but that was primarily to help clean up COI issues. Also, there does not seem to be a corresponding article on Tagalog Wikipedia which might have provided some hints on where to find some better sources. Anyway, I've started a thread at Talk:Vicente S. Santos, Jr.#Sources and Wikipedia notability discussing my concerns, so any comments you may have would be most appreciated. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:54, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unblocking LordStarscream100

Hello. A month ago you blocked my account, LordStarscream100, when I created articles for two films I've made. This came as a huge surprise to me - not only was I not given a warning about doing such a thing, but your reason for blocking me was that I was creating the articles to promote my films. That was not my intention. In fact, this all started when one of my friends went onto the article for bread crumbs and, as a joke, referenced a film we made with a similar title. This gave me the idea to create articles on here for several of my movies, not as a joke, but very seriously. I was not trying to spread word about my projects or promote them in any way. All in all, I thought it would be cool to create articles for them. I didn't see anything wrong with that.

I'd prefer not to argue with you, as I'm extremely busy with other things and as you probably saw, my edits on Wikipedia are small. If you can unblock me, that would be great. I'll contribute to the website appropriately.

Thank you!
