Leech

We haven't done a juicy pest for a while ... I think Leech would be suitable as it's a famous animal with plenty to say. The current article isn't too bad but will benefit from a bit of attention. Hope you'll join me in taking it to GA. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:38, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:31, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Chiswick Chap: Three paragraphs in the Reproduction and development section were added in July 2011 by Danielkueh, who I see still edits occasionally, and who improved the article considerably at the time. I think these paragraphs are too detailed for this general article on leeches and suggest we hive them off into a separate article. My Invertebrate Zoology has some good, more general information on leech larval development which I would propose adding instead. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:34, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK, move them out. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:26, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My name was pinged to this discussion. I don't have much to add. It has been a while since I have edited the leech article. My current involvement with wikipedia is limited to simple edits and copyediting. So if I can help in that way, let me know. Otherwise, do what you think is best. :) danielkueh (talk) 14:51, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. The article Leech embryogenesis has been created, and there is information on its talk page providing attribution for the article. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:55, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I was about to revise the "Nervous system" section when I saw you had written it yesterday. It does not agree in all respects with my Invertebrate Zoology. I intend next to write a bit about the body wall, coelom, gas exchange and excretion, which I will add to the "Anatomy and physiology" section for the time being. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:16, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Good work, and thanks for tidying the refs. I'm beginning to think it's easier to start afresh rather than relying on anybody else's claimed facts and half-filled in, half-flaky references. I think we're about ready now? Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:26, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think we are about ready. Do you want to nominate it or shall I? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:29, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Go right ahead. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:43, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK. I was just looking around. Do you fancy Cestoda? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:49, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What you deleted on that page was my own words, I've honestly had it up to my limits with WIKI, First I was accused of using a copyrighted poster and now it's the synopsis that I wrote myself. Delete that page is it's too much of an hassle, I'm done with Wiki and done with trying to always justify myself.Kadimina (talk) 15:46, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Kadimina: It is hard to reconcile your statement with the fact that the words you used in the Wikipedia article were identical to this website which is used as a reference in your article. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:11, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough! the words on that site you cited, is actually a festival that I attend. I'm the filmmaker of this documentary. So that's why I know that it's my word, It's the synopsis of the film. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kadimina (talk • contribs) 17:37, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you are the author of the page on the website mentioned then the situation is different. I am not at all familiar with this aspect of copyright law but you may be interested in this page. It is always open to you to write a new, differently worded synopsis for use in your article. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:53, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Henriette Feuerbach

I learned to usually simply accept when an image for DYK is not taken, but for Henriette Feuerbach, I'm disappointed, because it doesn't only show the subject, but style and period of the mentioned painter, who seems not as well known as I thought, + it's a woman.

Question

Will you take a look at Synodus intermedius - last edit changed the order of the lead name and corrected something else. I wasn’t sure if I should change the lead back like it was. Best ^{Atsme📞📧} 14:20, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Atsme: The page is called Synodus intermedius so I think that is what should come first and be bolded in the lead. I see that the editor concerned is making similar changes to other articles, as in Synodus marchenae, and that one is worse because the fish does not seem to have a common name. I suggest you take the matter to the WikiProject Fishes page, or just reverse the ones you don't like. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:43, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cwm, are you online? Please ping me if you are, thanks, Gatoclass (talk) 15:31, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Gatoclass: I am now. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:28, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to bother you with this. Just as I was about to promote a set to the queue, Vanamonde queried the lead hook, which happens to be my nomination. I quickly responded but he had gone offline so the nomination page has been left hanging. I'm wondering if you could close the nomination for me, assuming you are satisfied with my fix? Otherwise, I am probably going to have to rotate that set out of its position and verify a third set today, which I'd really like to avoid. The open nomination can be found here and you can see my fix in Queue 3. Thanks, Gatoclass (talk) 17:38, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Gatoclass: I have proposed and approved ALT1. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:01, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have also closed the template. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:06, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, much appreciated :) I tweaked the hook according to your suggestion. Gatoclass (talk) 18:11, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I just thought I should let you know that I tweaked the hook to say "escaped destruction" rather than "escaped damage". There are two reasons for this - firstly (given the kind of nitpicking we often see these days) somebody could argue that there is no way of knowing whether the ship was damaged or not, we only know it was still operational after the quake. Secondly, I added some new sources to the article documenting that another ship went aground and was wrecked beyond repair shortly before Otsego arrived, establishing that the same fate might well have befallen Otsego.

Sorry once again about the hassle, and thanks again for work around DYK. I have really been enjoying your hooks lately BTW - the natural world is really a pretty fascinating place isn't it! Gatoclass (talk) 20:45, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Swedish Chinese speaker

Hi, I noticed you promoted this bio to a regular slot in Prep 1. I really think this hook deserves the lead image slot, but can't promote it because I worked on it. Could you move it to the next set? Also, we have tons of bio hooks further down the noms page which should be used to balance sets. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 13:34, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: I did consider whether that hook should have an image slot and decided against it. On the whole I try to promote image hooks on encyclopedic subjects where the image enhances the hook; historical characters, geographical locations, works of art, animals, images required to illustrate the hook, etc. I do not in general promote living people, especially as here where I presume he is well known in Sweden.

Would you consider changing the text back towards what you originally entered:

Both fish then return to the water, ...

rather than the (to me at least) ambiguous:

... before they fall back into the water.

As it is now I had to re-read a couple times to be sure you indeed meant the two fish fall back into the water, rather than the eggs which were just deposited.

As it is now

Here the female lays a batch of six to ten eggs which are immediately fertilised by the male, before they fall back into the water.

it just feels like you are playing with the reader with 'they'. Shenme (talk) 02:38, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Diphyllidea

Hello, I'm Smjg. I noticed that you recently removed all content from Diphyllidea. Please do not do this. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. As a rule, if you discover a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If a page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you wish to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. — Smjg (talk) 09:53, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Smjg: Well actually, the page was a redirect to the page Cestoda, one of about ten used in the Taxonomy section of the page Cestoda, and I would like to remove them all, leaving red links that indicate to other editors that articles are needed for these taxa. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:02, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Check out Template:R animal with possibilities (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs), which is the template used on those redirects you tried to delete, @Cwmhiraeth:. It is used on 351 pages, with many others using {{R plant with possibilities}} and {{R taxon with possibilities}}. The solution is to write articles for those titles, and not just deletion. As you can see on Special:WhatLinksHere/Diphyllidea and Special:WhatLinksHere/Spathebothriidea, deleting the redirects would leave a number of redlinks instead of pointing users in the right direction. --Nessie (talk) 15:16, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The readers were being pointed in a wrong direction. If you feel like writing the articles, that's fine, but circular redirects are absolutely wrong (even if they have possibilities, unfortunately). Redlinks, on teh other hand, are fine, as they indicate opportunities for new articles. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:46, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe, but that doesn't change the fact that blanking the page isn't the way to go about getting it deleted. Have you read the deletion policy yet? This will guide you on the correct processes to follow. — Smjg (talk) 17:52, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Prep 1

OK, I wrote most of it, but wouldn't Endsleigh Gardens make a more interesting picture hook than a military officer with a train? It has a murder which always intrigues and a good pic of a woman that displays well at thumbnail. IMHO everyone will want to know who she might have murdered and why and why she got off. Philafrenzy (talk) 07:35, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Philafrenzy: The military officer with his image was already in the prep set when I added your hook to fill a gap in the set. There are always more hooks nominated with images than there are hook slots available. In this instance, the article was about a location and so the image was peripheral to the main subject. Plus the fact that the image was of someone who was charged with a murder on flimsy evidence and was not convicted of the crime. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:18, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

But charged with a murder that took place in that street and so notorious that they had to change the street name. Could you see it as a picture slot in a different set? Philafrenzy (talk) 09:03, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The image would be more suitable for an article on the Euston Square Murder, in my opinion. Your article should still get plenty of page views even if the hook is not in the lead slot. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:28, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Have to say that I agree with Philafrenzy, and that the army officer photo is rather dull, and that the murder woman would be rather more interesting, or could be used in another set. We owe it to our readers! By the way, although Philafrenzy is quite right about having done most of the work, I should disclose that I started the article. Edwardx (talk) 18:08, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, wasn't seeking to steal your thunder, just acknowledging my partiality. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:10, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You could always try to persuade Yoninah to move it to another set, she likes women's portraits. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:19, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: Philafrenzy (talk) 18:25, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cwm, it's not that I like women's portraits, it's like, as you told me a different time, that the image should add something to the hook. This image of a lieutenant general does nothing for the hook (which is a pretty good hook on its own). Also, we just ran one of Hawkeye7's general images a few sets earlier. The Endsleigh Gardens image adds some 19th-century flair to the hook. I'll make the switch. Yoninah (talk) 18:58, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: OK. I don't object. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:11, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Robert D. Bell

Hi Cwmhiraeth, Thanks for your comments on the subject page. They were very helpful to me, and I appreciate your taking the time. I have added a new lead section (no header) which I hope will resolve the question about Judge Bell's notability. Also, I added new section to explain better why this man seems to be notable. Doing so, has also added three more in-line citations. I wanted to wait before removing the banners at the top of the article until you have had time to review the changed page. Please let me know if you see anything else that ought to be addressed. Bruin2 (talk) 21:53, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, some parts are written in past tense because the source was describing Gwebi College in the 1960s/70s and a current source could not be found.

NPR Newsletter No.11 25 May 2018

Hello Cwmhiraeth, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

ACTRIAL:

WP:ACREQ has been implemented. The flow at the feed has dropped back to the levels during the trial. However, the backlog is on the rise again so please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day; a backlog approaching 5,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.

Deletion tags

Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders. They require your further verification.

Backlog drive:

A backlog drive will take place from 10 through 20 June. Check out our talk page at WT:NPR for more details. NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

Editathons

There will be a large increase in the number of editathons in June. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.

Paid editing - new policy

Now that ACTRIAL is ACREQ, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. There is a new global WMF policy that requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines

The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies.

Not English

A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, tag as required, then move to draft if they do have potential.

News

Development is underway by the WMF on upgrades to the New Pages Feed, in particular ORES features that will help to identify COPYVIOs, and more granular options for selecting articles to review.
The next issue of The Signpost has been published. The newspaper is one of the best ways to stay up to date with news and new developments. between our newsletters.

Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics page nominated for speedy deletion

Hi Cwmhiraeth, can you please explain why the page was deleted? The reasons listed are violation of copyright (there is a URL included -- is this the source of violation?) and advertisement (it is not, it is am article about a professional association, it has numerous references to outside sources, including several Wiki pages. Please help. I am new to Wiki (returning after a long hiatus), and I have worked on this page for a long time after it was once already deleted (the problem was that it was missing references, which I painstakingly provided). What can I do to improve it and how can I retreive the deleted draft to improve it? thank you.

Klaustrofobia (talk) 02:36, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I did not delete the article, only recommend it for deletion. The copyright violation referred to the url mentioned, which was the society's webpage if I remember correctly. If you wish to recover a copy of the article you will have to contact the administrator who deleted it. I see from your talk page that this is the second time that the article has been deleted, and the content of a previous draft was sent to you by email. Also, you still have at least part of the article in your sandbox. You appear to be an undisclosed conflict of interest editor tasked by the organisation with creating a Wikipedia page. My advice would be to publish a very brief article on the basis of your present sandbox article, adding references to reliable sources and not copying verbatim passages from the society's website or adding information of a non-encyclopedic nature. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:15, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! THe url mentioned was the reference to another prof organization page, which, in turn, quoted from SASE's page. I was trying to go for accuracy (thus quoting), but I see your point. Unfortunately I cannot recover the first draft emailed, I cannot access that account because I no longer have access to the recovery account (I set this account up a long time ago). In any case, that draft is useless, I took in the earlier suggestions and reworked it. In creating a page, I was using the American Sociological Association page as a guideline (I am a member of both), which also quotes from the mission statement, albeit briefly. I read it that referring to existing pages is a poor defense, but can you please provide a guideline on how to not be charged with producing advertisement? I thought I provided sufficient references. Have I not? Many thanks.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Klaustrofobia (talk • contribs) 13:43, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would have said the two main paragraphs in your sandbox would form a basis for your article, but I now see that the first paragraph is a copyvio of the society's webpage so that won't do. Have a look at Society of Labor Economists, Economic Society of South Africa and European Economic Senate for some guidelines. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:08, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have looked at the SOLE page and every single reference is from the org’s own webpage, except the publisher page of their journal. Is this acceptable? I was chastised the first time I created a page that references cannot only be referencing the organization’s own page because this amounts to advertisement. Please clarify, if you can, whether I can just follow the template. Thank you!

Klaustrofobia (talk) 17:41, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Cwmhiraeth,

This is what the editor who deleted the page replied to my request for retrieving the draft: I do not consider undeletion requests for promotional content, especially from editors with no substantial contribution history outside the relevant topic. You need to start from scratch. MER-C 19:49, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

This sounds punitive. Is there any recourse? I am not recruited by the organization for promoting purposes. I am simply a member and have no financial stake. SASE is a non-profit organization, a learned society, as they call them. They are no selling anything. I am an academic, another membership organization I belong to (ASA) has a wiki page, which I used as a model. I am flabbergasted by this seeming hostility... I created a new page before, albeit in another language, but on a living person, which I now understand is even more difficult, and I never faced anything like this. I appreciate any advice on how to retrieve the draft.

Klaustrofobia (talk) 21:27, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There is little point in retrieving a draft that has already been rejected. Write something new on the society's aims and objectives, its history and membership. Use the SASE site as a reference but do not copy any of the text verbatim, instead use your own words. Find other sources in newspapers, books, magazines and other reliable sources, thus demonstrating that the society qualifies for Wikipedia on the grounds of notability. If you can't find any, it probably does not qualify. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:15, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Cwmhiraeth, Could you please take a look at the draft of the SASE article I have in my Sandbox to see whether it passes the muster? I gave it another shot, but would like advice before trying to move it to the public space. Many thanks,

Jellyfish

Hi, good work on the urchins. I wonder if you'd like to join me on jellyfish, some of which are suitably pestilential? Article is in pretty good shape, at first glance, though we'd better give it a good checking-over. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:14, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 16:52, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've done the phylogeny; not sure there'll be any fossil history, given the, er, evanescent nature of the subjects! I don't much like the treatment of taxonomy (a curious table, which admits it's only one point of view (odd, huh?)). The human side of things isn't too bad, though of course the refs need checking. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:57, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Chiswick Chap: I am working through the anatomy section. I am assuming that the article is really on Medusozoa as we already have an article on Scyphozoa. I am concentrating on scypozoans as they form the largest part of the subphylum and pointing out how the other groups differ. Do you think this is the right approach? When I have finished with the anatomy of the medusae, I will move on to the polyps.Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:29, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I now find that we already have a stub article on Medusozoa. If we are treating Jellyfish in the way I suggest, perhaps we should merge the two. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:26, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The question is whether J covers the whole of the M clade, i.e. treating Hydrozoa as small Js, in which case J = M, or whether J excludes Hydrozoa, even the J-like ones, in which case they don't. I'm happy either way but would like to be sure we have suitable sources to support our choice. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:33, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Chiswick Chap: What if we start off with the sentence: "Jellyfish is the informal common name for the medusa-phase of certain gelatinous members of the subphylum Medusozoa. They are mainly free-swimming marine animals with umbrella-shaped bells and trailing tentacles." With this definition Hydrozoa are excluded. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:20, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK, in that case we must put back the red bar on the phylogenetic tree. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:20, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've had another try with the red bar, and I think it now corresponds properly with the text of Taxonomy: basically, some Hydrozoa are included - the ones that spend nearly all the time as medusae - but not the leafy branching ones, nor the freshwater hydra, nor the man 'o war. Hope you can live with that... Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:05, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Chiswick Chap: We really need to check articles with Earwig before we get to work. I have just found some copying/close paraphrasing but haven't finished getting rid of it yet. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:25, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, everything we didn't add to any article is suspect, I'm afraid. Since you have Ruppert and I have Brusca, we have plentiful reliable info on pretty much the whole topic. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:27, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The article on "Irukandji jellyfish" is really strawy. Merge to box jellyfish? Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:38, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Chiswick Chap: As far as I can see the jellyfish concerned are all in the same family, so it could be merged with Carukiidae. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:57, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thanks. The articles are very different. I'll think about it. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:14, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Alligator gar

If you get a chance, would you take a look at this edit? I remember during the GA review, you had mentioned singular vs plural tense, so I thought it was good to go, but the recent edit changed it again. ^{Atsme📞📧} 15:45, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Atsme: I'm not sure what I once said, but in general, in any one paragraph, it is better to stick to either singular or plural, and not to mix them up. In this instance, the first paragraph was in the plural and read quite satisfactorily. The IP seems to want it to be in the singular but it does not read very well now. I must admit that I prefer the singular, which is used in nearly all fish species articles, but it seems unnecessarily officious of the IP to change it. Do you want me to change it back? Best of all would probably be to rewrite the paragraph completely in the singular, not just change a few words as the IP has been doing. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:54, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
