Recent Edits to Odessa Page

Dear Reviewer,

Happy New Year!

With all due respect, the updates were based on facts for e.g. For a Page on Odessa, winning Miss Odessa by someone who is a native of Odessa seems to be a valid update.

Having said that, maybe I could have done so with a little less glorification of achievements. I will make the necessary edits and resubmit for review. Hopefully, it will be acceptable to you and the community.

This is my first update to WikiPedia and if I have violated any norms, it is clearly because its the first time. My apologies.

Hoping for a favorable review on re-submission.

Biografer

Hello! We met back when you brought Biografer to COIN. Weird end to that story: he or she was just blocked for evading a ban for three years. S/he used to be editor Mishae. All of Biografer's articles are now eligible to be deleted via G5 if they have not had significant edits by others. See the SPI and Biografer's talk page.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 06:22, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

ThatMontrealIP - Thanks for the heads up! I have long thought that this user(s) was(were) a paid editor and this outcome hasn't dissuaded me of that view, except for a recent event when the subject objected the the page that had been created and requested deletion. Not the obvious trade-mark of a paid editor, but weirder things happen on Wikipedia. Regards  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   06:59, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Navigation popups

Hi Velella, I'm not sure if you're using navigation popups. Personally, I find popups to be useful for scanning an editor's level of experience, which helps me communicate with them. Popups display an editor's registration date, most recent edit date, and number of edits when you hover over their username. If you've never tried using popups and you'd like to give them a try, I hope you find them useful. — Newslinger talk 07:12, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I have them enabled but clearly wasn't using them. I find that these days I am forgetting more than I can learn - but these do sound useful so I will persevere. Regards.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   07:25, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Kanthi D Suresh

Hello Velella, any idea if this new version has anything better then the previous version that you nominated for deletion? I notice it was deleted at Kanthi Suresh as well. GSS ^💬 13:41, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

Regrettably I don't recall the previous article's content. However, this latest incarnation has no notability - all interviews by her or with her, nothing that speaks to notability. I strongly suspect that the subject is very keen to get a Wikipedia article and may be using different editors to achieve her aims. Regards  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   20:46, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020

Hello Velella/Archives,

Source Guide Discussion

The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.

Redirects

New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.

Discussions and Resources

• There is an ongoing discussion around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
• A recent discussion of whether Michelin starred restraunts are notable was archived without closure.
• A resource page with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
• A proposal to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.

Refresher

Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Tom Piggott

Why was my article deleted there was nothing wrong with it and had plenty of good references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Random Pig1 (talk • contribs) 16:57, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Random Pig1 - It is always disappointing to see an article you have worked on being deleted. Wikipedia is unlike most other web-sites in that it operates under very specific rules of notability as can be found at WP:GNG. These rules and guidelines specifically exclude social media content as sources of notability. For the record, I didn't delete the article,. I proposed it for deletion and the consensus was for deletion. I don't have the power or authority to delete articles. Regards  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   19:36, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival re-created

This article has shown up again; it was under Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards but it doesn't make sense to have an awards stub without the film festival itself. Since you were involved with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival, can you check whether the same content was reinstated and whether it qualifies for CSD? You can look at [1] created on 19 March. Also do you think any of the editors need SPI? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:28, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

Caernarfon Food Festival

Many thanks for your comments on Caernarfon Food Festival, this is a contribution to Wikipedia:WikiProject Festivals. and is a food project to document the major food festivals of Wales as part of the documenting of Welsh social and economic history. Welsh food is a collecting area of the Museum of Welsh Life and is considered an area of study. On the basis of festival selection, the notability criteria are: they are in a list on Wikipedia, they have a significant number of visitors, they are a significant event in the town in which they are held, they have a defined social purpose, and preferably they are seen as notable by meriting public funding through Welsh Government. See also List of food festivals in the United Kingdom which adds the further criterion as follows

"As a criterion, established festivals should all have a devoted website to which they are linked."

I trust the above assists.

Dovetail Joints

Hello Velella,

I'm Cam, Red Brewer's content manager, and I want to first thank you for bringing the spam links to our attention. I'd also like to understand what the issue is. Please clarify, are the edits considered promotional because we included a brand name in an entry? Or is it because there are affiliate links on the page our entry links to? Because while there are a few affiliate links on the pages, I believe the pages themselves include useful information relevant to the topics and that is what I'd like to pass on to Wikipedia readers.

I understand completely that there are probably a ton of people trying to spam on here, but I can assure you that is not our intent. We would like to rectify this as soon as possible.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Kind regards,

--Redbrewer12 (talk) 15:24, 20 May 2020 (UTC)Cam Russo

Content Manager thebestscrollsaw.com

Redbrewer12 - thanks for coming back to me. There are a number of issues here. First of all you have a conflict of interest on Wikipedia. Wikipedia strongly deprecates editors writing about themselves, their business, their employers and anything where there judgment might be swayed by their affiliation or payment. Secondly, what you(?) added to several Wikipedia articles is link-spam - embedding commercial links into an apparently innocuous piece of text as a reference. This is unacceptable, and , as you have experienced, it is rapidly removed. Persistently adding link-spam is likely to get the editor blocked. Thirdly, you are probably quite right that some advertising spam has crept into some articles. Regrettably there is only a finite amount of resource available and we are all volunteers. However, as you will have experienced, I delete as much as I can and I would invite you, as a Wikipedia editor, to do the same. As long as you don't post any link-spam, deleting spam from your competitors, or anyone else, is not only acceptable but welcomed. Fourthly, I have a little concern that your Wikipedia username is not being exclusively used by yourself. The wording above suggests that more than one person may have edited under this user-name. Where user-names are found to be used by more than a single person, that user-name will be blocked permanently. Perhaps you could give me some re-assurance on this point. Regards  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   17:50, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Velella,

Yes, the account is under Mr. Brewer's name, but I (Cam) was the one tasked with making the edits. Thank you for clearing this up. Going forward, if any further edits are made, we will do so according to the editorial guidelines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Redbrewer12 (talk • contribs) 23:44, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

G5

WP:G5 is only available when the article was created after the master account was blocked. Sunny bharat was blocked 15:24, 25 May 2020 (Sunny bharat's block log) and the article was created at 09:02, 25 May 2020. Hope that helps, Cabayi (talk) 06:12, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Cabayi - My reason was that user:Pkschhonkar, who was the ultimate master (see here, was blocked on 14th May. Regards  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   07:49, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Deleted. There was nothing in either of their blocks (which point to each other), their talk pages, or your G5 pointing to Pkschhonkar. Cabayi (talk) 08:23, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. I had assumed that all the SPI reports had been concatenated into a single archive, but perhaps not. It is always difficult to know whether to use the most recent puppet-master's name or to use the true puppet-master's name. Regards  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   12:21, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Always use the master's name. Template:Db-g5 will then link to the SPI page, and to the categories listing the master's confirmed and suspected puppets.

I'm now doubting the deletion... I think I read Drmies's comment "they are blocked as socks of each other" out of context & only Kumarjatji (talk · contribs) & Sunny bharat (talk · contribs) were confirmed, not Pkschhonkar (talk · contribs). Cabayi (talk) 16:14, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

I read that as indicating CU had confirmed that they were socks of Pkschhonkar (talk · contribs) but that significant doubt existed as to whether Pkschhonkar was the master or whether there was a bigger picture with an older master lurking somewhere - which is what I suspect. But, that is just my interpretation and the basis for the CSD tag. Regards  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   16:38, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

The two accounts were confirmed to each other. I found no connection to that "master" account; evidence that they are socks of Pkschhonkar will have to come from either deeper CU-digging or behavioral evidence. It seemed to me, by the way, that the behavioral link was clear, but I wasn't looking for that. Drmies (talk) 20:10, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Articles for Creation: List of reviewers by subject notice

Hi Velella/Archives, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.

Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.

To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!

Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, Sam-2727 (talk)

a request

I recently came across Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Karen McGrane. The way you phrased your nomination strongly suggested you did not try to comply with WP:BEFORE.

If you are not familiar with it, BEFORE says those considering calling for the deletion of weak articles are supposed to make a meaningful effort to conduct their own search for RS that wrote about the topic. When a topic has inherent notability - based on ALL the available references - policy calls on us to try to improve the article, not delete it. A nominator can't determine if an article's topic has inherent notability, without performing their own meaningful web searches. A weak article might be weak because it was written by inexperienced contributors, or because a vandal or POV-pusher had gutted it, and no one noticed, or new better references may have been published since it was last worked on.

Now maybe you did comply with BEFORE, and did actually perform meaningful web searches? That would be great! My request to you, in that case, if you ever nominate another article for deletion, could you please check to see if your nomination implies you skipped researching the article's underlying topic?

Thanks! Geo Swan (talk) 18:25, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

I am baffled. Nothing in my nomination could be interpreted as implying that I did not do searches before nominating. The reality was very different. I assumed that I was missing some claim to notability that wasn't obvious but that was so obvious to others that it did not seem worth mentioning. So I did indeed do searches and still found very little. I also noted your comments to the author of the article making the same but rather more veiled comments but I chose not to respond there. Your thesis, I infer, suggests an unwillingness to assume good faith. I have been on Wikipedia more than a few days and understand the working practices. If you had yourself found RSs, I am sure that you would have added them to the article to save it from deletion. Making comments like this, after the event, is neither helpful nor in the spirit of collegiate cooperation.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   20:07, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

I appreciate the efforts that you are making. However, I nearly always stay away from AfD discussions that I have started unless there is clearly a major change in notability.

The Bahman Tavoosi situation

I’ve been looking at the page's sourcing and I’m starting to wonder if there’s any notability in this at all. In fact looking back at the edit history the article was created by User:FarrahAb, who has been paying User:Mexi-Kiwi Mike to make these edits in the past few days. It also has been edited since creation by User:Joyab, who Mike has appeared to imply is linked to this with his last message on the article’s talk page. What do you advise on this? SK2242 (talk) 19:44, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

I tend to agree. The sources are weak and, in one case, a dead-link. It looks a lot like self promotion of a film-maker with no great claim to notability. Regards  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   19:56, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Well I guess you need to be quick the AfD is underway. Regards  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   21:08, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

A spot check of other directors in the same category shows that this article is in line with similar directors, with three or fewer films. Any many are less substantiated.

W. Stanley Moss

Hi I was trying to undo a redirect and have clearly made a mistake of some sort! Now you have marked for speedy deletion. Please would correct this for me as I dont know how to it. see my correspondence with Necrothesp (talk) Huguº 17:46, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Necrothesp - All now sorted. The original move appeared to be a cut and paste move that would have obliterated the article history. The simple, and correct way, is simply to move the article which also moves the history. So all sorted and no lasting damage. What I am curious about is where the discussion for this article name change is? Articles like this are generally only moved when there is consensus amongst editors for a name change. I can't see that discussion. If you could point me to it, that would be great. Thanks  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   20:36, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

There is no actual need for an RM discussion if the move appears to be uncontroversial, as it appeared to me it was, given the name I moved it to is the name used in his biography. But as I said, I had no objection to it being moved back if there was strenuous opposition. -- Necrothesp (talk) 21:39, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Necrothesp Personally I would like to move it back to W. Stanley Moss but I don't know how to do it properly. So may be one of you could to it for me? Huguº 21:49, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Velella

I was in the midst of fixing those links when you became involved but we both got affected by some vandalism by an IP - my edits were only partially saved. We can check back to see what may still need fixing. For what should be an important article, it left a lot to be desired. I may yet have a go at the geology/geography section. thanks Geopersona (talk) 13:55, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Fogging (photography)

Hello Velella!
Nice to see someone who's been on WP for so long still editing!
I've noticed recently, quite a few names I recognise, and have worked with have been banned. Sockpuppetry etc!
Anyhow, I was editing Underground nuclear weapons testing, where it mentions photo film fogging from radiation created by the Trinity test of the first atomic bomb.

" … fallout was discovered after the Trinity test, the first ever atomic bomb test, in 1945. Photographic film manufacturers later reported 'fogged' films; this was traced to packaging materials sourced from Indiana crops, contaminated by Trinity and later tests at the Nevada Test Site, over 1,000 miles (≈600 kilometres) away. "

I linked the fogging reference to the page you created, and noted that on 'your' page there is no mention of film fogging from 'radiation'. Like X-rays and nuclear fallout. If you don't feel like doing it, I should be able to find suitable sources. Like The Causes Of Fog In Radiographic Film.
Just came to mind, this is in fact a very significant thing. IIRC, the fogging of photographic film plates is how radioactivity was discovered! See Henri Becquerel#Experiments, or Radioactive decay#History of discovery. I was actually thinking Marie Curie was the one, but no.
'Your' fogging page says:

"Fogging in photography is the deterioration in the quality of the image caused either by extraneous light or the effects of a processing chemical."

I think (Edits in bold)

" … extraneous visible light, forms of invisible electromagnetic radiation, or the effects of …"

or similar needs to be sourced and added in.
Just FYI. 😊 Regards, 220 of ^Borg 18:43, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

220 of Borg Many thanks, I totally agree. If radiation didn't affect photographic material we would not have had X-rays in medicine. As my own darkroom experience can attest, using Uranium toner (it used to be legal!) too close to undeveloped material produces unwanted fogging. I can certainly look at upgrading the article, but please feel free to add well sourced text if you have it to hand. Some of my best source material was actually written before Marie Curie published her work on radiation and this source of fogging doesn't get a mention! Regards  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   18:51, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

A goat for you!

No,it was just very ill suited to the Roe deer article. If I owned it, I might have made rather more edits to it than I did. I am however curious as to why you posted this message here. Were you thinking perhaps it would persuade me that your addition was, after all, worth keeping? Was that likely ?  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   21:17, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello Velella/Archives,

Your help can make a difference

NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.

About Removal of my Website's link

Hey!! Just wanted to know why was website link removed from reference and what was the reason for it. Also wanted you to mentor me for further help in editing.

Is that your website? I didn't know. The reason for deletion is that it is not considered a reliable source - it is essentially a blog . Also, in one case, you removed better quality references to insert your poorer quality source here. All of this is not permitted on Wikipedia and continuing to add such links could lead to your being blocked. If over the next few days and weeks you can demonstrate a willingness to make constructive and useful edits to Wikipedia articles, I might consider mentoring, but you would probably find me a tough mentor - I work to the rules and am intolerant of editors pushing the boundaries.

Speedy deletion declined: Bahman Tavoosi

Hello Velella. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Bahman Tavoosi, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: There's more information about newer films he's made, and more sources. That addresses issues around notability. COI isn't really assessible in CSD, but it's a different editor to last time. Needs to go back to AfD if necessary. Thank you.

Wrong deletion

Hello Venella! I saw that you are involved in discussion on erasing the page “Natali Thanou” and i wanted to provide reliable sources to explain her career in music industry in Greece and Serbia (her name is everywhere from Apple music, Amazon ,Google play, Spotify,Deezer) released 6 albums, have been interviewed in talk shows in Greece and Serbia as a been on the cover pages at more than 10 magazine like “Madamme Figaro” and “Maxim”. She won awards in festivals and crowned at the Greek beauty pageant 2007. So please reach out - since the page is deleted wrongly after your conversation. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LoveWins30 (talk • contribs) 17:13, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

The page as it stood lacked notability and searches didn't demonstrate any other sources that demonstrated notability. You can always start a new Draft page at Draft: Natali Thanou and submit it for review when it is complete, but it will need several much more reliable sources to pass the notability threshold. You will also need to reveal that you are writing an autobiography and have a conflict of interest. I also note that you have been canvassing several other editors on the same topic. This is, at best, unhelpful. Canvassing to promote an article is deprecated on Wikipedia and should be avoided. Regards  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   21:18, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello Velella. This is part of a cross-wiki canvassing operation. User LoveWins30 has also appeared @ el/WP asking the user who had created the Greek article on Natali Thanou (actually, a translation of the one in English) to visit en/WP and have the deleted English article recreated [2].

Courtesy of not templating a regular

I am going to do you the courtesy of not placing a template on your talk page. However you are edit warring in the notability template. I have addressed the item. I have invited you to discuss on talk page. And if you claim notability is not established you can place an AfD on the article. Presently the article has 14 references. Many news sources. Please enjoy your weekend and do not edit war. Lightburst (talk) 22:43, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

Question - why did you remove my page? It says I "hijacked" the link, but that's not what I did at all. All I did was update the discography page for NTWICM because no Wikipedia editor felt like doing it for 5 years.

Trevortnidesserped (talk) 17:52, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

No. It was a redirect link to a UK compilation, You already had a draft for the USA compilation awaiting a review. The two things are different and separate. It was not, in any case "your" article, any article is "owned" , if that is the correct concept, by the combined editing population of Wikipedia.

Emergency call without SIM

All mobile phones that use SIM cards are required to provide the ability to place an emergency call (to 112, 911, 999, etc.) via any available network without a SIM installed. [3][4] There are many sources that state this, but I have yet to find one definitive source that will address every country, phone and network. I have also yet to find any source that states that one cannot. General Ization ^Talk 22:13, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

General Ization - Yes, I was aware of a number of sources, yet I knew from my personal experience working in an emergency response organisation that the capability in the UK had been withdrawn for many years, yet it still apparently remains a capability in many other countries. Finding a reputable source for that is difficult, and identifying where it is and where it is not applicable is even trickier. I thought it safer not to have the unsourced sentence which I know to be untrue rather than have incorrect info in the article. I have no problem in it being restored provided that it is clear that the availability of this service varies from country to country and is not available in the UK.

Wood Nymph

"A wood nymph named Mrs Butters appeared in the Fifteenth Season of the television series , Supernatural in 2020" Your response: Undo the edit with the reason hardly important/relavent

Why ? Supernatural is a relatively known show and as such used a mythical creature in their latest episode. I added use of said mythical creature to its list of depiction in popular culture. Is it not relavent because you think supernatural is less popular and as such its depictions of creatures don't belong I think it should be re-added. Wikipedia doesn't exist on the basis of what you think is relavent or not . It exists to provide information. I dont see why adding this would do any harm. Hpdh4 (talk) 21:03, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

A heads-up

Your nomination of Day Pitney inspired me to expand When complying with BEFORE is not straighforward. Geo Swan (talk) 03:04, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Your addition is pure conjecture and not based in fact. Had you discussed it with me first I could have disabused you of the notion, but, hey-ho, AGF goes out of the window. History does not equal notability.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   10:52, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Clarification please...

Are you saying you did perform meaningful web searches on the firm's earlier names, as BD2412 and I suggested in the AFD? Okay...

Please don't resent people taking what you wrote at face value. If I read something a respondent wrote, and I suspect they meant something other than what they wrote, I seek clarification. I have no intention of capitalizing when a respondent mis-spoke, and said something other than what they really meant.

As for your assertion "History does not equal notability," could you clarify that? If you were asserting that "Oral history does not equal notability," I'd agree 100 percent. But RS writing about a topic - ie history - is precisely what we use to determine notability. You do know the root meaning of history, versus pre-history, don't you? We study prehistory through studying the oral or pictorial record of events before anyone started writing anything down, or by studying the bones and artifacts left behind. History begins, by definition, when people start writing down what happened. Geo Swan (talk) 21:50, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

.....and they continue to write it down, on blogs, on twitter on their own Wordpress sites on social media and so much more, all of which we ignore. History equals notability ONLY when presented by an RS, not otherwise. I neither "mispoke" (which appears to be an Americanism for "lied"), nor did I fail to do before searches, nor do I respond well to overt patronising comments. Further discussion by you on this talk page is unwelcome.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   08:03, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

Deletion of Duplicate

Hi Velella, If a page has been created in duplicate, then the same can be moved. A.R.V. Ravi

Please, when writing on any talk page, please sign your posts with four tilde " ~~~~". Wikipedia does not support duplicate pages. If there is an attempt to move a page with the same title over an existing page, the process will abort. So a duplicate page cannot be moved. In the case of the article that you have created, there would be little point in moving it as it it still some way from demonstrating notability.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   09:11, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

BabuH007

Dear Velella,

We are sorry that you judged negative our scientific work but we are a recognized non profit foundation (BabuHawaii Foundation) and MDPI International peer-reviewed Journal advised us to published in Wikipedia to let the community know about our findings.

Just let us know how we can reference our work on the related pages regarding micro plastics and microorganism identification. Looking forward to hear from you soon.

Best Regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by BaBuH007 (talk • contribs) 04:23, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

It is most inappropriate for MDPI to advise you to published references to your work on Wikipedia. There are many reasons for this. Firstly Wikipedia looks to secondary or tertiary sources to support assertions made in articles. Only rarely are primary sources acceptable and then only where there is no secondary source and the matter being referenced is of some significance. Secondly, posting the same reference across many articles is regarded as link-spam, not an attempt to improve Wikipedia but an attempt to get more notice for your publication. Wikipedia is not there for the promotion of your reputation, the reputation of the journal or publisher or the reputation of the body you represent - for more on this please see WP:FORUM .  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   20:03, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

A.R.V. Ravi - The title is not an issue. If you are able to demonstrate that the subject is notable using multiple reliable and independent sources, then it is very simple to move it to the correct title.

Distilled Water page

Please could you elaborate further what was inaccurate about my addition? To the best of my knowledge I added purely factual information, based on my own knowledge and research. Rickitplus (talk) 22:11, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Reference link removed

We meet quickly again! Please could you explain why this reference link was removed. I agree that placement could have been better but it was an article which I found useful and thought it was very relevant. Rickitplus (talk) 22:16, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

OK. Let us deal with both queries with one answer. Before that, however, it is a normal courtesy on Wikipedia to link the problematical edit with a diff like this or , at least by quoting the relevant article (but with a leading colon inside the square braces) such as Distilled water. Without links, it means your interlocutor has to take time to find the edits amongst, perhaps, many hundreds of others.

Regarding the distilled water edit (linked above) the text you added had no reliable and independent source. It also did not relate specifically to distilled water and would more properly have been included in Properties of water as indicated in my edit summary. It also used the words "....is about 373 kelvin". Readers don't want to know what the approximate temperature is, they want to know what it is precisely. So I reverted it as unsourced, inappropriate in this article and inaccurate. One reason would have been enough.

In Commercial credit reporting here you add a link to a website which is overtly advertising its products and contains nothing of any encyclopaedic value. The mere fact that it was a blog would have been sufficient reason to reject it. The commercial nature of the site only compounded the issue. Embedding an advert link in a wodge of text is called link-spamming and is always rejected on sight and, if repeated, can lead to the editor being blocked from editing.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   23:39, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

1. Okay [distilled water] is “water” that has been purified and therefore the monocular structure is much closer to H2O then non purified water. Distilled water boiling point at 1 atm (14 PSI) is 373.15 Kelvin (see ). Rickitplus (talk) 11:55, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

2. Re Commercial Credit Reporting link, I didn't notice any reference to selling products there wasn't even internal link to any other page. I could potentially copy the information from the page and cite it? I did also notice that the second refence link is to a website home page that is directly promoting credit referencing. This link definitely has no value. Rickitplus (talk) 11:55, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

New Page Patrol December Newsletter

Hello Velella/Archives,

Year in review

It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

Reviewer of the Year

John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.

NPP Technical Achievement Award

As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

AirVuz website

Hi! You recently deleted all links to a website called AirVuz. The links are highly relevant - I was adding External Links to pages on subjects where AirVuz has a high quality drone video of the location/subject or where AirVuz has a curated collection of drone videos on the subject. There is no copyright violation here; people who upload their videos to AirVuz give us the right under the site license agreement to do this. Moreover, the linked pages have original descriptions on them written by our site editors. If you look at (for example) the collection page that I had linked under "Wales", what you will see is a curated collection of high quality videos, with appropriate descriptions, of pretty much any location in Wales that anyone cares about. From a single page, you can see what Wales looks like in a way that is unique from any web page in the universe. This page couldn't even been uploaded to Wiki Media as it's a page not an individual piece of media. THe linked site doesn't even have any ads on it; this alone I think qualifies it as being something other than spam. In any event, there is nothing spam like about it, all of the links were entirely relevant, and I just don't understand why you would want to deny the Wikipedia user base the right to see this resource - it makes no sense. I would urge you to look at 3-4 of the links you deleted; if you can give me a cogent argument about why you think these links need to be removed I will go away but I need to understand your logic. THank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Misrael2710 (talk • contribs) 15:59, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

• Misrael2710, what is your relationship with AirVuz? 174.212.222.125 (talk) 16:57, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Misrael2710 - It is worth noting that it is not only me that has been reverting your additions but also users Shajure, SFC9394, Roger 8 Roger and SovalValtos , all of whom in their own way believed the content that you added was inappropriate. I objected to your link additions because of of the very obvious advertising nature of the web-site to which the link directed you. Once there the content was not freely licenced in a compatible share and share alike licence and in fact your site states "You agree to not distribute in any medium any part of the Service or the Content without AirVūz’s prior written authorization.....". Thirdly you have a very clear conflict of interest in promoting this site. Fourthly the content does not have any obvious encyclopaedic content. Images and videos in Wikipedia are intended to assist the reader in understanding the encyclopaedic point being made. These drone videos are simple eye-candy which, although often very pretty, do not add any understanding. On a purely personal point, I greatly resent the insect like and insistent noise of drone in the wild and open spaces of the world. I routinely ask to see valid authorisations of people operating drones and have yet to have been shown any valid permission. I will continue to argue here based on Wikipedia's rules and guidance but please don't expect any special dispensation from me - it won't be forthcoming.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   17:08, 21 December 2020 (UTC).

For what it's worth, I removed a load of links on pages; they clearly fit our definition of SPAM. Ask yourself a simple question, Misrael2710: if your links are valid to have on all these pages, then what else is? Youtube channels, facebook groups, postage stamp websites, and on and on and on and on we go. What do we end up with? External link sections on prominent articles with tens or hundreds of links. Is that appropriate? No, of course it isn't. Hence the spam guidelines I link to above, hence why we deal with external links the way we do. Wikipedia is not a web directory. Please don't re-add them. SFC9394 (talk) 17:26, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

"I just don't understand why you would want to deny the Wikipedia user base the right to see this resource" - No one is doing so. WP is Not a collection of links, nor is it for advertising (neither free nor paid). There are many other websites for those purposes.Shajure (talk) 20:19, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi. Just deleted that section

Hi. Thanks. I just deleted that entire section, anything from lat-long.com. Thanks for your comment.Wil1andar (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 22:49, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Reversion on English personal pronouns

Would you mind quoting the part that says singular they is only possible in reference to persons? Also the ungrammatical sentences was intentionally ungrammatical and marked as such (that's what the * means). It was there to exemplify the point.--Brett (talk) 18:35, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

The issue was already adequately explained in the text immediately above it. There is also a full article dealing with the topic and your additions were wholly unsourced.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   20:46, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia

Thanks for identifying the source of the material in your edit.

This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.

I've noticed that this guideline is not very well known, even among editors with tens of thousands of edits, so it isn't surprising that I point this out to some veteran editors, but there are some t's that you need to be crossed.S Philbrick(Talk) 15:49, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Not a problem. The whole interface between the two articles Eutrophication and Nutrient pollution is very unclear and teasing out what belongs where will take some days to resolve. The edits are very much a work in progress , but I will ensure that as the dust settles that proper attribution is made.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   16:08, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
