Advertisements

Hey, I noticed you placed an advertisement tag on Ranvoo. I went ahead and put the CSD G11 tag on it. As an FYI, if an article is unambiguously an advertisement and there is no hope of rescuing it, you should usually tag it for speedy deletion under CSD G11 rather than placing the advertisement flag on it. This is because it will be harder for people to find once it is out of the new pages feed. The advertisement tag should be placed on articles that are written like adverts, but are salvageable. Hope this helps :) Thanks for your work in NPP. Always glad to see new faces around. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:53, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@TonyBallioni: thanks for the hint and it's a pleasure to help! Best -DrStrauss talk 16:15, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Elephant-Inside-Out-Gillian-Higgins-2.jpg

⚠
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Elephant-Inside-Out-Gillian-Higgins-2.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:25, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Reviewer

Hello DrStrauss. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk.

  • URGENT: Please consider helping get the huge backlog (around 15,000 pages) down to a manageable number of pages as soon as possible.
  • Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
  • You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
  • Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
  • Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 20:09, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Kudpung: thank you for the tips! I've been reviewing pages for a couple of hours - I'll have a look at the guide! Best DrStrauss talk 20:41, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed

Hello, Kenny Britt is now cited with references! Calli2010 (talk) 22:05, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Calli2010: that's great! You may now remove the PROD tag as well! Thanks DrStrauss talk 07:17, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

E-Security

I wanted to inform you that I removed your speedy deletion tag, as 'not a dictionary' is not one of the listed CSD criteria. (That would be a valid rationale for a PROD deletion tag.) The page had been redirected by another user, and I restored the redirect. If the page creator reverses that I may start an AfD discussion. 331dot (talk) 22:10, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oh sorry I never thought of just turning it into a redirect. Will do in future! Thanks DrStrauss talk 07:57, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

re: Proposed deletion of E4B

hi! -- The page "E4B" i created was a simple redirect to Boeing_E-4 ; i did not contribute to the current content; i actually consider replacing 'my' redirect by this content (and not some "E4B may refer to ..." page) slightly wrong; and i have no objections at all to deletion of current content! greetings from Vienna --Wda (talk) 15:16, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
