AFC Backlog

Articles for Creation urgently needs YOUR help!

Articles for Creation is desperately short of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors, in reviewing submissions in the pending submissions queue. Currently there are 2551 submissions waiting to be reviewed and many help requests at our Help Desk.

Do you have what it takes?

Are you familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines?
Do you know what Wikipedia is and is not?
Do you have a working knowledge of the Manual of Style, particularly article naming conventions?
Are you autoconfirmed?
Can you review submissions based on their individual merits?

If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. You might wish to add {{AFC status}} or {{AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions.

PS: we have a great AFC helper script at User:Timotheus Canens/afchelper4.js which helps in reviewing in just few edits easily!

We would greatly appreciate your help. Currently, only a small handful of users are reviewing articles. Any help, even if it's just 2 or 3 reviews, it would be extremely beneficial.
On behalf of the Articles for Creation project,
TheSpecialUser ^TSU

Leandro Taub

Dear Jeff. I saw that you tried to delete the article about Leandro Taub. He is a known writer from Latin America, his books are in many countries. You can see information about he in the web. The editorial is Ediciones B México. I hope if you can reject the deletion. Regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ilantav (talk • contribs) 16:49, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article was deleted because it was an "A7: Article about a real person, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject"[1]. What is so important or significant about the subject? What verifiable reliable sources do you have to back up that claim? We need specifics (including references and footnotes) for biographies of living persons - "this guy on the internet says he is known" does not qualify. I also tagged it as "uncategorised, dead end and orphan". Articles should be categorized and should have wikilinks to and from other articles. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 03:11, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just a minor correction, Jeff, there is no policy that insists that every article should be backlinked to other Wikipedia articles. While desirable, this is very often impossible. Adding categories is something that patrollers can quickly do, also for obvious reasons. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:32, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Right, that would be the difference between "should" and "must". I try to be exact with my use of such language, like the authors of IETF RFCs. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 03:36, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As a modal verb, should also leans towards the imperative. Ought to would be somewhat milder, for example, but even then it is not possible for many articles to be back linked. Personally, I only use the 'orphan' tag when it is pretty obvious that an article could be back linked. WP:CANTDEORPHAN might help. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:45, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP:LINK, part of our Manual of Style Guideline, is the guiding force behind WP:O and WP:DEP, and they all link to each other. I think they all merit the imperative should. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 15:25, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I went through every page you linked to above and the only use of the modal 'should' relevant to this discussion was this one: 'a page generally should not be tagged as an orphan until it has been around for a little while' . De-orphaning an article is relatively easy - even linking a place name or a context that provides a greater explanation of a term would be enough. These are things that a conscientious patroller should do on-the-fly. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:02, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Douglas Tait, again

Any chance you would weigh-in at this ANI? The IP has claimed you are a meatpuppet of mine, apparently because we have agreed. Thanks. Novaseminary (talk) 19:40, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 00:56, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jagjit Singh

Hi Jeff,

Can you please state your reasons for removing my link to a article and video interview with Jagjit singh?

(Kiran Rama (talk) 00:53, 15 October 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Sure, the link was not to a reliable source, and you have been spamming links to that website. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 00:55, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain your knowledge of a reliable source?Why is this not a reliable source? I don't think you know as much about Jagjit Singh as you think you do.

(Kiran Rama (talk) 01:17, 15 October 2012 (UTC))[reply]

It's a blog.[2] Please read WP:USERG. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 01:22, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This website has a strict editorial policy which a number of established writers see here http://www.desiblitz.com/desiblitz-team your policy WP:USERG reads -Some news outlets host interactive columns they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professional journalists or are professionals in the field on which they write and the blog is subject to the news outlet's full editorial control. Which means this link should not be stopped by you as all writers are professional journalists or are professionals in the field! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kiran Rama (talk • contribs) 01:29, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jeff G. asked me to comment about this since I again removed the link. If you look at DESIblitz's About page, you can see that they actively recruit writers and photographers. That is not the hallmark of a reliable source--RS's recruit writers through interviews or agents. While DESIblitz does seem to have an editorial team, there is no evidence that they have a "reputation for fact-checking" as required by WP:RS. It essentially seems to be a blog collective. As such, the site doesn't meet WP:RS.

However, even if it did meet WP:RS (if you, Kiran Rama, insist, we can take the matter to the reliable sources noticeboard for more opinions), you can't just add a source to the end of a reference list--we only list references for things that are actually cited in the text. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:38, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your support. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 01:44, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We do have verifiable reliable sources, the Guardian Newspaper for one http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/feb/04/india-women, fourth paragraph we have been quoted and used as a reliable, independent source (Kiran Rama (talk) 01:38, 15 October 2012 (UTC))[reply]

You trust The Guardian? — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 02:01, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would like this matter to be taken to the reliable sources noticeboard as this online magazine does recruit writers and photographers but where you get the idea that this is done with out a interview or selection process is beyond me? if there was no record of fact checking would desiblitz have been picked up and quoted as source by The Guardian -http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/feb/04/india-women a paper that is well know for its correct use of facts and reliable sources? If the way I added the link was incorrect then that can be changed but the way Jeff dismissed the link altogether was wrong and needs to be investigated!(Kiran Rama (talk) 01:59, 15 October 2012 (UTC)).[reply]

Please feel free to post there. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 02:04, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jeff I trust the Guardian way more than I trust your judgement so lets just cut the sarcastic remarks and get a move on with doing your job! (Kiran Rama (talk) 02:04, 15 October 2012 (UTC)).[reply]

My job here is that of a volunteer. I relied on the judgement of Qwyrxian (talk · contribs), a volunteer Administrator and Master Editor (or Illustrious Looshpah) here with >43,000 edits. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 02:11, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Kiran Rima, in order to open a discussion at RSN, I need to know what information you want to use that source to support. RSN doesn't allow generic conversations on whether or not a source is valid, because the answer generally depends on what the source is being used for. Could you propose some sort of edit that you want that source to support? Qwyrxian (talk) 04:57, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is already open at Wikipedia:RSN#Jagjit_Singh_article. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 12:09, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No one agreed with you before that discussion was archived to Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive_134#Jagjit_Singh_article. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 18:22, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Libya has now free elections after Gaddafi's dead

Since Gaddafi dead, Libya has not now compulsory voting. --190.233.233.167 (talk) 01:21, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Surely you have verifiable reliable sources to back up your claim. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 01:24, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

. --190.233.233.167 (talk) 02:20, 15 October 2012 (UTC) Is of that I knew by political news in social networks. Is truth. --190.233.233.167 (talk) 02:20, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are also welcome to post to the Reliable sources Noticeboard. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 02:33, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The obvious sock is now blocked (User:Jackie d. alarcón ). Qwyrxian (talk) 04:55, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary roughness

Jeff, I think this edit to Me and Mrs Jones (TV series) was uncalled for, clearly indicating that the show exists and the article is not a hoax. You proposed the article for deletion for lack of sources, even though a link to the show's official site on BBC One was provided. Generally, only BLPs are eligible for deletion through the proposed deletion process for lack of sources; other articles may remain unsourced for years. In this case, sources were blindingly simple to find. This is a case where WP:SOFIXIT comes into play: if the article has addressable issues, fix it rather than suggesting it be deleted. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 12:51, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, sorry. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 22:22, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for welcoming me to Wikipedia with a Speedy Deletion, Help would be appreciated. I have just Realised it is quite hard to "Reference". Thanks.

Big Paul99 (talk) 23:46, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK, here's some help. The consensus is that IMDb is not to be trusted, since the info on it is user-generated. Neither of the articles you have created has any verifiable reliable source. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0447282/resume even spells out "IMDb is not responsible for the accuracy or completeness of the contents of this page, which have been supplied by a third party and have not been screened or verified." I have added more help to your user talk page. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 01:37, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I do appreciate that, I am on Acting Careers. IMDB isn't completely invalid, I would say IMDB would be the only help I can get from an Actor. If you could please stop rather than sitting back and putting Speedy Deletions on my page and help me, That would help the both of us and Wikipedia. Some Actors are really difficult to find a Good solid reference. inappropriate isnt the word for it. Big Paul99 (talk) 01:53, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Then they're not notable enough to have articles on English Wikipedia. The standard is at WP:NACTORS. And for the living ones, the references also have to satisfy WP:BLP. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 01:55, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe we can find at least one thing, But I don't usually back down. I keep doing it. I have found one Reliable source on CNN "Actress' role of a lifetime: Being a mentor" for Elizabeth Kemp, Is that alright? Can I take the Speedy Deletion down. I think I will work on people from now on that have References, Haha. Big Paul99 (talk) 01:56, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is alright. Bravo. I have taken down two of the tags on her article. It still needs sections, though. OTOH, your article says she's 61 and CNN's says she was 54 on February 13, 2012. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 02:03, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is more Reliable than CNN, Haha. Let's go with Wikipedia, I'll soon find her Date of birth. Are you willing to remove Harry Van Gorkum's speedy deletion. I pinned up Two different References from VH1 and Hollywood Celebritys. Thanks Big Paul99 (talk) 02:30, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How exactly does his article meet WP:NACTORS? — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 02:45, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Declined Speedy deletion

Just so you know, I declined your A7 speedy deletion request on Humse Hai Liife...it was right on the edge, but, for me, appearing in a full season of a national television show is sufficient to pass A7. However, AfD may well be appropriate, as I don't think that's quite enough to pass WP:ACTOR. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:48, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but I think you meant Himansh Kohli and WP:NACTOR or WP:ACTORS. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 02:15, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!
