RfC: Inclusion of predecessors and successors in officeholders' infoboxes

Hi, I'm writing to inform you that I've opened a new general Request for Comment concerning whether predecessors and successors should be included in the Infobox Officeholder template, further to my RfC concerning Michael Portillo specifically. The new RfC can be found here: Template_talk:Infobox_officeholder#RfC:_Should_predecessors_and_successors_be_included_in_officeholders.27_infoboxes.3F.

Autopatrolled rights

Hi there. I caught one of your new starts in the New Pages queue and after checking out your edit history have put you up for Autopatrolled rights at WP:Requests for Permissions. The Autopatrolled right would allow you to make starts with less breathing down your neck by new page patrollers. Thanks very much for your work on behalf of our project, it's good to see people doing work on mainspace. Carrite (talk) 08:04, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrolled granted

Hi E.M.Gregory, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! -- samtar talk or stalk 10:25, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Christian Science Monitor

Hi, you found a reference for the Leslie R. Mitchell article from the CSM dated 16 September 1965 and written by Harold F. Bennett titled "Scouts tune in all over world: Calling all Scouts!". Is there an online link to this article? Is it an interview with Mitchell? Is it a PRIMARY source or an independent secondary source? Thank you. -- HighKing++ 12:44, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you provided a response at the Mitchell Talk page, thank you. I've responded there, perhaps you can reply to the questions I posed there? -- HighKing++ 18:56, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Shooting of Benjamin Marconi

On 7 January 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Shooting of Benjamin Marconi, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the suspect in the shooting of Detective Benjamin Marconi got married the following morning and was arrested later that day? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Shooting of Benjamin Marconi. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Shooting of Benjamin Marconi), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Murder of Ashley Ann Olsen

You transferred this article from draft to main space by means of a cut and paste move. This had the effect of removing the history which breaks our attributation policies. To fix this I had to :-

  • Delete the new article to make space for the draft to be moved across
  • Move the draft to main
  • Undelete the history I deleted to make space.
  • Drop you a note telling you what I had done and why.

Alternatively, had you moved the page directly from draft to main none of this would have been required.

Please can you check the current version is the one you finished with (date stamps get messed when you move and this might mean an old revision sits over a newer one.)?

Thanks

i agree with you

just wanted to say thank you for all of your work on the jane sanders wiki page. months ago, i tried putting some of the same info onto that page, only to be "wikilawyered" to death and have numerous other editors remove that content. i find it abhorrent that Xenophrenic in particular went through the talk page even and redacted any "controversial" comment you or anyone else made regarding sanders. to me, that completely ruins the whole concept of a talk page. anyway, i'm glad things shone through and just wanted to say i do appreciate your effort on that page at least. take care. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blahtherr (talk • contribs) 05:08, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Derrick O'Keefe

I'm not entirely sure what your question is. If you check the AFD discussion again, I batched both him and Democracy North together as one AFD; since he's the host of that program and is referenced almost entirely to the same sources that aren't cutting it in the show's article, I felt that they could be considered together rather than needing two separate discussions to coexist. But he is already listed in that AFD discussion as a deletion candidate within the same discussion, so I'm not sure exactly what your question is. Bearcat (talk) 16:43, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

can you please check the refs for this BLP article

Hello E.M.Gregory, per your comment at the bottom of this AfD a few days ago, the relevant sources have now (mostly) been organized. Please see Draft:Oleg Atbashian, which is the proposed parent-article to the now-redlinked organization-article that was AfD'd.

I'm still in the process (~~25% done) of drafting prose-sentences based on the refs in the footnotes there, and also verifying whether a few other maybe-useful-question-mark URLs can be considered legit WP:SOURCES, but at the moment the best independent in-depth RS are the 2010 Neil deGrasse Tyson book, the 2015 University of Colorado book by an associate prof, and either the two-newsitems 2004 FOX News coverage or the two-newsitems 2004 The New Republic (albeit one is a deadlink/paywall).

Specifically, I'd be interested in what sort of chances you would give the 'finished' BLP at surviving AfD (i.e. body prose finished but no sourcing beyond what you see there now), in percentage terms... 80/20 aka very likely to be kept, 50/50 aka cointoss, 20/80 aka very likely to be deleted, or whatever numbers you think apply at present. If you are busy and don't have time for this assessment-request, that is also no problem of course 47.222.203.135 (talk) 14:41, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about my Reverts

I reverted your additions twice because when I tried to add this information, Volunteer Marek reverted the addition with the line "one source is not reliable the other misrepresented", as seen here. When I tried to add it again without the Washington Times article, Marek reverted again with the line "rmv one unsourced and another misrepresented (see O'K's wiki page)" as seen here. I, therefore, apologize for my actions. Yoshiman6464 ♫🥚 23:45, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Can you help me save this article through the debate in order for a consensus to be achieved. I have added plenty of legitimate sources but nobody is participating in the debate. I have put quite an effort doing research for this article so please help me save it. Thanks--Enion Glas (talk) 00:33, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that you want the article deleted and not even userfied. Did you even read these 4 sources I gave you where the claim "unique and interesting chapel" is affirmed by all of the authors of these sources?. They are not my words or claims, these are the words of the experts that have studied medieval and colonial structures both in America and Europe.

What is your argument? --Enion Glas (talk) 18:14, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your input on my Randall Hicks article, even if your comment was to delete. I'm hoping to change your mind. If you read my comments on the page, Hicks can be seen as quite notable as having appeared on four or five national TV talk shows, most recently CBS This Morning, and hosted a PBS series many years ago. In all fairness, I don't think anyone can say someone isn't significantly notable with that kind of exposure and being sought for his position and expertise by the media. I had that in article but was told it was "promo" which I don't understand as it is just facts about his career, like listing book credits. And re the books, just writing I think eight books? And mentioned, whether in large or small ways in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Sun Times, San Diego Union Tribune, Publishers Weekly. In comparing these sources to virtually any author article, my article has more authority by far. Should I put the major TV shows back in there to show his natinal status? I've asked this and no one has answered. Thanks, Gelo962 (talk) 22:44, 29 January 2017 (UTC)Gelo962[reply]

Thanks for adding a source to the Brian Wiprud article I created. I was actually interested to read the article you added, but the link goes to a subscription service. Seems this would make it inaccessable to most Wikipedia readers. Is there a link to a public source so people can read it? Thanks. Gelo962 (talk) 23:13, 30 January 2017 (UTC)Gelo962[reply]

Nice Berlin Melbourne Style Vehicle rampage in Philadelphia Park

Two Anon IP are deleting this at Portal:Current events/2017 February 6 for no specific reason other than to apparently quash an apparent attempted attack which is not yet been covered by international media. This incident is identical to terrorist attacks with trucks and against pedestrians in Nice, Berlin, and Melbourne, but attacker chose to not kill any victimes and hide his motive by stripping naked and making it appear to be just a mental crisis Bachcell (talk) 07:20, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • At Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania a man stole a cab, threw off his clothes and careened through the park frightening pedestrians who pulled him out after he crashed the car and was arrested. (WPVI)
User:Bachcell It seems quite clear that the attacker was a severely disturbed individual, now under medical care.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:29, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
With the exception of motive/cause and lack of casualties, the incident nevertheless is similar to vehicle attacks where the motive is either known or easily determined to be terrorist in nature. We all know however that mental illness is never, ever used to hide other motives. I called it to your attention because not one but two users felt it important to delete this from the record of current events when it was an event that was covered nationally and is probably international by now, and does not meet guidelines for deletion of edits since it is not just local event.

Serious concerns about 2016 Minto, Australia stabbing attack

Hello again. Been a while. I have some concerns about this newly created article, 2016 Minto, Australia stabbing attack:

  • It likely breaches WP:BLPCRIME, which states "A living person accused of a crime is presumed innocent until convicted by a court of law. For relatively unknown people, editors must seriously consider not including material in any article suggesting that the person has committed a crime, or is accused of having committed one, unless a conviction is secured" - yet this article, right from the very start, treats the suspect as unambiogously guilty and the motive assured. This could impact upon a fair trial.
  • The language is stilted, such as "Perpetrator next attempted to attack a police officer"
  • Some concern about whether this incident is notable for a stand-alone article.
  • Concern about the title (compare with others in Category:Terrorist incidents in 2016.

Hopefully we can address these concerns constructively AusLondonder (talk) 22:13, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure, perhaps 2016 Minto stabbing? I just feel listing the country in the title is not quite necessary and reads awkwardly. AusLondonder (talk) 23:00, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I guess that's right, looking at the long list of stabbings in 2016, I do see that many of them are in thi style.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:20, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, just wanted to let you know that your edits were removed over at 2017 Paris machete attack. I couldn't actually look at the WSJ link to confirm whether or not the information was in there because it's behind a login wall, but I felt like you should be informed. If the same information is also mentioned in another article that isn't behind some kind of content wall it might be a good idea to add that in too.
