List of Britpop musicians

Hello Robvanvee. Can I please get your support on the List of Britpop musicians page? It seems we have a "Dean" problem. The user in question keeps removing Catatonia and Babybird no matter how many reliable sources substantiating their belonging to the original Britpop movement I include in the article. It's really getting insufferable... Thank you very much.

You're telling me. This has been ongoing with the same guy on various articles for quite some time but to be perfectly honest, I either just have had better things to do or haven't had the energy to take this to admin. As far as this list goes however, I'm just not really interested and while I thanked you, it was before I realised you were sourcing a band using just a song as a reference. When one sources a band's genre, you need a source mentioning the band's entire career. So while he correctly reverted you, he did so for the wrong reason. Sometimes you just need to step back and let other editors take care of the situation. Getting worked up over a list just isn't worth it, even when certain people think they own certain articles. BTW hitting ~ four times at the end of your comment will sign and date your comment for you. Try it in your sand box. Happy editing! Rob van vee 17:01, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, actually, the source in question was just one of the several articles I've used to make a point about the artists at stake. I've shared quite a few sources stating that Babybird and Catatonia were part of the original Britpop movement, not because of just one song but because a significant part of their career happened during this era and their musical style matched all the codes... but he keeps undoing what I did. He's the exact type of user who made me stop contributing to Wikipedia years ago, actually. It's a real shame...CouchJarvis (talk) 17:36, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can you point me to those sources as this one only refers to tracks. Rob van vee 17:48, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've just re-added some... if he hasn't removed Catatonia from the list again. ;-) Anyway, here are the links:

Of course he has! Listen, just had a wisdom tooth pulled. Give me a day and I'll look into it once I'm feeling better. Till then keep busy on some other britpop articles :) Rob van vee 04:26, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

NPR Newsletter No.17

Hello Robvanvee,

News

The WMF has announced that Google Translate is now available for translating articles through the content translation tool. This may result in an increase in machine translated articles in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to use the {{rough translation}} tag and gently remind (or inform) editors that translations from other language Wikipedia pages still require attribution per WP:TFOLWP.

Discussions of interest

Two elements of CSD G6 have been split into their own criteria: R4 for redirects in the "File:" namespace with the same name as a file or redirect at Wikimedia Commons (Discussion), and G14 for disambiguation pages which disambiguate zero pages, or have "(disambiguation)" in the title but disambiguate a single page (Discussion).
{{db-blankdraft}} was merged into G13 (Discussion)
A discussion recently closed with no consensus on whether to create a subject-specific notability guideline for theatrical plays.
There is an ongoing discussion on a proposal to create subject-specific notability guidelines for chemicals and organism taxa.

Reminders

NPR is not a binary keep / delete process. In many cases a redirect may be appropriate. The deletion policy and its associated guideline clearly emphasise that not all unsuitable articles must be deleted. Redirects are not contentious. See a classic example of the templates to use. More templates are listed at the R template index. Reviewers who are not aware, do please take this into consideration before PROD, CSD, and especially AfD because not even all admins are aware of such policies, and many NAC do not have a full knowledge of them.

NPP Tools Report

Superlinks – allows you to check an article's history, logs, talk page, NPP flowchart (on unpatrolled pages) and more without navigating away from the article itself.
copyvio-check – automatically checks the copyvio percentage of new pages in the background and displays this info with a link to the report in the 'info' panel of the Page curation toolbar.
The NPP flowchart now has clickable hyperlinks.
