Your GA nomination of Uranium mining in the Bancroft area
The article Uranium mining in the Bancroft area you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Uranium mining in the Bancroft area for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Reidgreg -- Reidgreg (talk) 17:21, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
- I've finished my second pass of the article and have posted my notes at the review page. Please check my notes at the bottom (under general discussion) before diving in. – Reidgreg (talk) 03:48, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
Madawaska mine
CT, I can see you’re tying yourself in knots here. You’ve replaced well referenced information with unsourced data (MINDAT, a mineralogy enthusiast website, does not provide a source publication for its number). The number you have provided in the article as total life-of-mine production is in fact less than one year’s production.
The annual production data provided by Proulx on page 50 of the reference is detailed and accurate. The author, Michèle Proulx, is not an academic, she works for the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. Note that below her very detailed mine production table, she gives her sources: Griffiths, J.W., The uranium industry: its history, technology and prospects, Mineral Report #12, DEMR, 1967; Source Material Deposit Record 000247; and EMR Canadian Minerals Yearbooks 1977-1982 I have checked relevant annual Canadian Minerals Yearbooks against Proulx’s production figures and there are no disagreements. In Proulx’s page 50 production table the last column contains annual production of “Pounds U3O8 (Tonnes U metal)”, which might cause some confusion. Total mine production was 9,000,000 pounds of U3O8 or 3,461,538 tonnes of contained uranium metal. If this still bothers you, you could always contact Michèle Proulx directly at the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Thunder Bay office
On another matter: It is not possible to calculate yellowcake production from ore tonnes and head grade if you don’t know the mill recovery factor. A modern conventional uranium mill has at best 90% to 95% recovery. This mill, treating low grade ore (1.5-2 lb/t is low grade) over 40 years ago, would not have achieved even that recovery factor. I note that recovered grade for 1977-1979 averaged 0.06% U metal (see page 187 here).
regards John beta (talk) 07:19, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, and thanks for writing. The background on the author of the paper is helpful. I quoted Proulx on another article and someone told me not to use Masters thesis for Wikipedia, which is why I had gone to http://www.geologyontario.mndm.gov.on.ca/mndmfiles/mdi/data/records/MDI31F04SW00037.html (I used MINDAT to get a second opinion, but was relying on the Ministry numbers) but I did a calculation and now note your comments that it's not correct to do that. Also yes, I think “Pounds U3O8 (Tonnes U metal)” is what threw me off, as it seemed the numbers were incredibly small. I note the ministry source above says 9,492,171 pounds of U3O8 which is quite similar to Proulx, not that I think this is too important, I just didn't want the numbers to be ridiculously off. Sorry for my error, I expected you'd take a look quickly, which is why I made sure to explain my logic in the comments. The other stuff that you removed about Arthur Shore and Father Maloney is from a reliable source. I'll wait for pages about them to get approved before adding it in, but I have solid sources for what I had written about them, so will cite it very clearly when I add it back in presumably in a few weeks. Again, appreciate you starting the talk to explain this. CT55555 (talk) 12:15, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- CT, my mistake to remove anything about Arthur Shore and Father Maloney - there were quite a few edits since the last reliable production data and I overlooked that there were unrelated edits as well when I rolled back. Sorry about that! regards John beta (talk) 15:47, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
Concerning Outing
You should furthermore go to AN or ping someone in the oversight team to suppress the relevant information. Celestina007 (talk) 18:28, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, are you talking about my recent deletion of someone's email address? CT55555 (talk) 18:34, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- If so, for additional context it was the official email of a government employee, so it's probably not personal data, I don't want to over react here. CT55555 (talk) 18:43, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Mustafa Alio
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Mustafa Alio requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://carleton.ca/lerrn/people/mustafa-alio/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Onel5969 TT me 15:27, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, I contested it as quickly as I could, offering to remove copyright material. I started editing, but an admin deleted it in minutes. I appreciate the urgency, but it seems like it was up for days or weeks and I could have taken action today if I had the chance. Now an article I created it down because someone added info and it seems like I had been given any chance to rectify this, the deletion of an article could have been avoided. CT55555 (talk) 16:27, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

MarioGom (talk) 21:26, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
- Hi MarioGom and thanks for pinging me. I do think it meets GNG, but I'll elaborate about that on the AfD page. All the best. CT55555 (talk) 21:38, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

88.236.85.135
Any idea what 88.236.85.135 (talk · contribs), who geolocates to Turkey, was up to? Removed numerous categories about drugs. Most seem to be supported in the article. Many of them seemed related to Turkey. Then added a number paragraphs to Kurdish articles about them being on "Turkey's Red List of most wanted". Seems like POV editing to me. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 00:03, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
- The pattern I am seeing is mentioning Turkish bounties on Kurdish people, and removing tags about crime in articles about crime, the patterns seem concerning to me, but I'm not an expert in the policy here, so I share concern, but don't know what to do about it. I would agree there appears to be a POV issue, also maybe this is a single purpose account or something like that, well, actually, I guess there is no account, which adds to my concern. CT55555 (talk) 14:34, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi there. You added two references sections at Killing of Latjor Tuel. I know this was just a mistake, but I'm not sure where you wanted it in the article. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 00:19, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- Oops, thanks for pointing that out Magnolia677. I've fixed it now. CT55555 (talk) 00:21, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- Separate point, Magnolia677 but same article, you've added words like "his family claimed" preceding the details that are not disputed, such as him being a child soldier. I have not seen you add "the police claimed" before any of their claims. I wonder if you are accidentally applying a double standard to the parties in this article. When the facts are in dispute, I recognize why "XXX claimed..." is helpful to the reader. But for details that are not disputed, and reported on, I ask you to consider if you are accidentally hinting to readers that there is some ambiguity around these details. CT55555 (talk) 20:01, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- In the section "Events of February 19, 2022", the first three words are "Calgary police reported..." The text I add is well sourced, and it would look awkward if each statement said "according to the CBC" and "according to the Calgary Herald". In the "Reactions and response" sections, the text I added began "Calgary's Police Chief Mark Neufeld...".

CT55555 (talk) 20:01, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- Any claims that he was a child soldier or suffered mental illness or anything else about his life are just claims made by the family, which need to be attributed as such, lest readers assume these claims have been confirmed. In other words, this is an encyclopedia, and just because some person says something doesn't make it true. The source of the claim must be attributed. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:14, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

TFD (talk) 01:59, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the notification, I did notice the AfD already and replied to it. Obviously we are in disagreement here, but I acknowledge you are acting in good faith, even if I disagree. CT55555 (talk) 02:01, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
You're it! – I already declared "Not it" on doing the research and writing up the article [1], so thank you for making the effort. If the article passes AfD, and I really don't see why it shouldn't, I'm prepared to do a pass over it to do copyediting. The Guild of Copy Editors has piqued my interest here as I finish up the pandemic re-binge-watching the entire series of my favourite shows. Since I would rather do the copyediting after you feel you've filled it in and structured it to your satisfaction, will you leave me a note to encourage me to go ahead and do that? Cheers. signed, Willondon (talk) 03:47, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- Ha, thanks for this note and the officer. Ironically there is an overwhelming volume of content on PK online to the point where I think this article might be a constant work in progress. I'm hoping others jump in and add to it. I deliberately put it up in a far-from-perfect state hoping it would become a community effort. I've dodged most of the content about him due to the unproven criminal allegations, and that will clearly be a huge part once the court case(s?) conclude. So I'll come back to it once I've slept, but it might never be finished. That said, it does clearly need work, it reads a bit like a timeline for now and I'll need to at least get it into better prose. CT55555 (talk) 04:13, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- OK, I'll spend a bit of time shaping the article, too, as it develops. It does look a bit thin now, of course, but you've at least brought it to the point where others would feel confident that it's destined to become a decent article, and will pitch in to build on it. signed, Willondon (talk) 04:18, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- When I saw the AfD title come up on my watchlist I thought "oh man, is there some other poor guy named Pat King out there, sharing a name with a notorious alt-right dude?" I'm amazed to find that not only did yes-that-Pat-King not already have an article until just now, but also that someone would try to AfD it. Kudos to the both of you for taking this one on. -- asilvering (talk) 06:13, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- My starting point in this was to try and find the article on PK and when I couldn't find it, I was also quite surprised. Thanks for your comment. CT55555 (talk) 15:42, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

- Thanks, kind stranger ! You confused me at first. I guess this is about my edits to Kubi gold mine? CT55555 (talk) 15:14, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- Could be. As Blanche DuBois would say, 'I have always been blessed with the kindness of strangers.'
- It's a very big encyclopedia and project; I find new (to me) well meaning and productive editors all the time. IMO, Wikipedia should focus more on strokes than pokes. But that is not our emphasis. Barnstars are retained like they cost a lot or are hard to confer.
- Editor retention is especially concerning.
- I hope you virtually enjoy the cake. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:28, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks. I agree. I have had a few interactions that almost made me abandon editing since I started my new hobby. Online forums are bad for kindness and too easy for unkindness. I appreciate this. I'm off to eat my cake. CT55555 (talk) 15:33, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- Me too. Unfortunately, Discourtesy, hostility, witch hunting and burning at the stake are endemic to wikipedia.
- E.g., especially in something like WP:AFD nominations, which are cast as a personal competition and zero sum game — they aren't. You would think that encyclopedia improvement should be a shared goal and a win win situation. So some things just are what they are.
- Comes with the territory. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:49, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- The AfD process is brutal. People reject stuff about clearly notable people, with multiple secondary, in depth, reliable sources with the absolute briefest justification that so often suggests they did not check the sources. I have sympathy, I see many articles trying to get through AfD that are junk, but it seems that had created a situation where the good ones get rejected too. CT55555 (talk) 15:52, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- Over the years I have helped rescue many articles (See WP:ARS), improved them, and then gotten them on the main page at WP:DYK. Doing that gets some folks very reactive. Oh well! 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:58, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

People reject stuff about clearly notable people, with multiple secondary, in depth, reliable sources with the absolute briefest justification that so often suggests they did not check the sources. I have sympathy, I see many articles trying to get through AfD that are junk, but it seems that had created a situation where the good ones get rejected too. CT55555 (talk) 15:52, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks. I agree. I have had a few interactions that almost made me abandon editing since I started my new hobby. Online forums are bad for kindness and too easy for unkindness. I appreciate this. I'm off to eat my cake. CT55555 (talk) 15:33, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Artem.G (talk) 17:24, 7 March 2022 (UTC)The article BJ Dichter has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
per WP:BLP1E: only notable by Wikipedia standards for participation in the Freedom Convoy; what little relevant material there is can be included in that article. Being a podcaster, promoting cryptocurrency, just having religious views, and speaking at right-wing events are all things which do not establish notability.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:29, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- Hi User:Ivanvector I did consider the BLP 1 event thing before starting this one, my assessment is that it does not apply, he's been in the next for years for his politics at the Conservatives and also for his speech at the PPC conference, so he's notable independent of the convoy things. Suggest we discuss on the talk page of the article if this doesn't convince you. CT55555 (talk) 16:34, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- Also, sorry, I think I removed the PROD from the wrong place, that was unintentional. CT55555 (talk) 16:35, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
- I appreciate your willingness to discuss the matter, but AfD is specifically for that exact sort of discussion, so I have nominated the article for deletion (see the notice below). Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:46, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Nomination of BJ Dichter for deletion
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BJ Dichter until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Women's biographies in April
Thanks, CT55555, for the women's biographies you have created since the beginning of April, including all those on Gender studies. Your constant help with AfD, etc., is also appreciated. Keep up the good work. You are really helping us along.--Ipigott (talk) 11:41, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback! In my hopes for better gender balance on Wikipedia, creating articles seemed like the obvious step. But I'm seeing now that a lot of badly written stubs get deleted despite some WP:BEFORE work on Google Books and Google Scholar being enough to verify notability, so I'm making a point to check AfD more regularly and improve articles. The constant lack of WP:BEFORE efforts concerns me, it seems that people much prefer the power-move of deleting rather than a few minutes improving things.
- This month's topic at Women in Red is a good one, but one where I rely very much on the pre-work by others, so I'm using
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_in_Red/Missing_articles_by_occupation/Gender_Studies as my starting point and trying to find overlaps between women from countries that are under represented and suggestions that have good sources, I think this may get more difficult as the month passes. I'm therefore also creating articles inspired by WP:NACADEMIC point #8 whereby the chief editor of any major academic journal is notable. Almost every chief editor I've looked up is a woman and not currently on wikipedia. I've already had one flagged for notability as I think people are not accustomed to one link from an employer's website being enough to satisfy notability, but I think that is aligned with the policy, so that fits nicely into the one woman one day initiative and is easy to substantiate notability.
- Thanks again for the nudge to join WIR, I didn't see wikipedia as a social thing, I just thought I'd do my thing, but it's nice to see the efforts of the likeminded people and a few have jumped in an improve things that I've started, which is very satisfying. CT55555 (talk) 13:18, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
- I had completely forgotten you had not joined Women in Red. You are certainly putting in more effort towards our goals than most of our members. The chief editor approach is certainly a good way to step up the number of biographies on women. I don't think lack of attention to WP:BEFORE is specific to women. Unfortunately many of those who tag articles AfD lack sufficient experience. It's just as well that editors like you can explain the rules to them. It the early days, if people found a problem with a new article, they were told to "fix it". Now the approach seems to be "tag it". Not very pleasant for keen new contributors, I'm afraid. What you have been doing has certainly encouraged a few of them to keep on editing. Keep up the good work.--Ipigott (talk) 16:15, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
- I did join WIR, it just took me a few weeks to get round to it. I do agree about the WP:BEFORE thing and it's widespread and too quickly used. CT55555 (talk) 16:17, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

asilvering (talk) 03:21, 20 April 2022 (UTC)- If you're of a mind to hunt down more secondary sources for this, you might try forward-tracing some of the primary-source citations in the article? But also, it's probably worth updating - since Canadians are currently advised not to travel to Ethiopia (see: [3]), I would expect some impact on this program. But my search just now didn't turn up any relevant news items. -- asilvering (talk) 03:50, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Autopatrolled?
Hi CT55555, you seem to know what you're doing with new article creation (though I've not looked extensively). Have you considered applying for WP:AUTOPAT status to avoid the need for articles you create to be patrolled? -Kj cheetham (talk) 13:55, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- I wasn't aware of that system. I've created 222 articles so far. Of the three deleted, one was a category error, one was an attempt to disambiguate that ended in an edit conflict by accident and I have so far created one article that AfD found to be not notable due to BLP1E (BJ_Dichter)
- I didn't really know about AUTOPAT until now. In some ways I quite like someone looking over my articles to so I know I'm on the right path. If I did apply and get it, is there a mechanism to request a review or second opinion? Is my regular stream of new articles creating work for reviewers? (I again thank you, as you seem to review most of mine recently and I appreciate what you do - by that I mean pointing out orphans, category improvement needs, etc). CT55555 (talk) 14:10, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- That's an impressive number! Sometimes people get pointed in the direction of autopatrolled status with a tenth of that. You do already seem to be on the right path. The stream of new articles does add to the burden of the new page patrollers, but other people keep an eye on things through projects and other avenues as well. For instance I personally keep an eye on all pages (or at least I try to!) that are part of WP:WOMENSCI project, as well and more "random" ones through WP:NPP. Sometimes people just stumble across articles by following other links, and sometimes it can take months or years before someone puts an article up for AfD. The easiest mechanism to ask for a second opinion is probably just leave a message on either someone's user talk page or a project talk page. I personally can mark pages as unpatrolled, but that's due to me having additional "powers". -Kj cheetham (talk) 14:40, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- OK, if I'm creating work for people (and I plant to make plenty more articles) than it seems better that I do this and flag ones that I'm not sure about. For example I was testing the water a bit by adding all those "editor in chief" stubs - part of my wider aspirations to reduce the gender gap. CT55555 (talk) 14:44, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

- I just glanced at https://xtools.wmflabs.org/pages/en.wikipedia.org/CT55555 and picked Maria Mayerchyk to review, and my only suggestion would be to add the {{Authority control}} template just above the categories when creating biographical articles. Keep up the good work! -Kj cheetham (talk) 14:50, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks. I have never understood that template. Is it simply a case of adding it just like that every time? CT55555 (talk) 14:56, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- Also I think someone else always adds the default sort. And I've just let that happen. But if I get this, I'll make sure I do those steps. I was thinking I was helpfully letting some bot runners get their count up, lol. CT55555 (talk) 14:57, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- FYI looking at International Peace Research Association, that article hasn't been patrolled yet anyway. -14:43, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- That authority template appears to do nothing until wikidata exists, in which case it generates a table with some links. More details can be found at WP:VIAF. Both that and DEFAULTSORT are often added manually by other editors rather than bots, though people may use scripts to help automate it a bit. I admit I let other people add the default sort too! -Kj cheetham (talk) 15:02, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted
Hi CT55555, 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 autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! ~Swarm~ {sting} 22:26, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks. Yesterday I didn't know about autopatrol. Then User:Kj_cheetham suggested I ask for it. I have been operating on the assumption that others will look over my work. From hereon in, I'll be very careful to tick all the boxes and aim for 100% articles rather than the ~95% good-enough way I have tended to operate until today. CT55555 (talk) 22:29, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
- Hi CT55555, I'm happy to look over your article creations. We have several shared interests, and your work so far has been great. Don't hesitate to ping me or put a request on my talk page. Keep up the good work! Netherzone (talk) 23:19, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Erik Reinert
Why did you place Erik Refner (photographer) on Erik Reinert? I can't find any indication, either in Wikipedia or by googling, that the photographer is known as Erik Reinert. Leschnei (talk) 12:29, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for catching this. Basically I made a mistake, which I have now fixed. The slightly longer explanation was that when I searched for "Erik Refner" it was taking me to "Erik Reinert", sorry for this, quite silly mistake to make and out of character for me.

Moved from AFD, as it's not direct relevant there. Although obviously race is a farcical idea with as much scientific credence as fairies at the bottom of the garden, it is in common use (census data for instance). So if the US census was categorising people into certain groups, we would then have articles about those groups (however dumb that grouping was). That's the point I was trying to make, and that the editors of the article were acting in good (if misguided) faith. - LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 10:23, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

DYK for Tracey Medeiros
On 16 May 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Tracey Medeiros, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that The Art of Cooking with Cannabis by Tracey Medeiros was praised by the Los Angeles Times for showcasing a wide range of recipes outside of the "tired pot-brownie cliché"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Tracey Medeiros. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Tracey Medeiros), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

Uranium mining in the Bancroft area GAN
FYI, I posted my latest at Talk:Uranium mining in the Bancroft area/GA1 on 5 May. – Reidgreg (talk) 17:24, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks. Sorry for the delay. I think you noted I made editing errors in my last round of edits, so I'm waiting until I can do this in a not-rushed manner - i.e. probably this weekend. User:Reidgreg CT55555 (talk) 12:55, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Beaverhouse
The land claim is completed. They achieved First Nation recognition! Signed with Four tildes.🧚thank you for mentor offer. I think I will avoid editing and just learn on Wikipedia. 66.103.52.68 (talk) 04:04, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- Great news. Thanks for sharing. I have updated the article on Beaverhouse First Nation. I am still not 100% sure the connection between McGary and Beaverhouse, can you say more about that? Are there any newspaper articles that link Beaverhouse and McGarry? Obviously the locations are near, but I don't think I've read anything that links the two clearly enough. All the best to you.

Hi CT55555, if the disruption continues after the three months, please notify me on my talk page and I'll protect the article for a year. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:01, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks. When should I consider the three months to start? From today? CT55555 (talk) 15:06, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- Well, to be precise, they end at 14:58, 29 August 2022 (UTC). ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:39, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Grand Bargain (humanitarian reform)
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Grand Bargain (humanitarian reform) you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

Your GA nomination of Grand Bargain (humanitarian reform)
The article Grand Bargain (humanitarian reform) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Grand Bargain (humanitarian reform) for issues which need to be addressed.

Glad you stuck around
Hi CT55555, I know earlier on you contemplated giving up on Wikipedia but I am so glad you stuck around. You have grown so much as an editor and contribute so much. Anyway, thank you. S0091 (talk) 23:57, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks. Some early interactions felt rough, but I appreciate your guidance and encouragement, which happened to land just as I was on the brink of giving up. I'm quite enjoying my new hobby, thanks again sincerely for the encouragement. CT55555 (talk) 00:13, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- I've gone from struggling to get through AfD to my first Good Article. Sending the good vibes back to you today. User:S0091 CT55555 (talk) 19:49, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
- I can always use some good vibes. :) Congratulations on the GA! S0091 (talk) 15:08, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
Group AfD
Your guess on structure is as good as mine. I just wasn't looking to subject community to 14 different votes. I have no strong feelings on the topic (and I rarely engage in strident defense of AfD nominations except obvious NCORP/COIs), just want the community decision so I can judge future similar article in line with community consensus. Slywriter (talk) 23:46, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
- All good. In some ways I appreciate them like this, but I've seen others (about Nobel laureates) get messy when people start to say some are notable and some are not, so let's see how it goes. Thanks for the note. And of course, without the academic papers, I see the logic in your AfD. All the best, CT55555 (talk) 00:04, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
- Related to your recent discussion at the village pumps, you might be interested in the sidebox we put into WP:RFC. Instead of a "don't break the rules" approach, we provided people with a factual statement. Most editors don't want to be seen deviating from the norms, so a statement of norms can often have a desirable effect. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:06, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Theresa Nyabeze
It takes a lot more than just two newspaper articles to establish that a writer passes WP:AUTHOR, especially if one of them is from the local media in the city where she lives and the other one is from a community hyperlocal weekly in another small town where she had previously also lived. If there were major literary awards in the mix, such as the Governor General's Award for English-language children's literature or one of the other awards in Category:Canadian children's literary awards, then one or two sources would be enough because there was a major literary award involved — but if you're shooting for "a writer is notable just because media coverage of her writing exists", then it takes a lot more than just two media hits to achieve that. Bearcat (talk) 01:38, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- WP:AUTHOR criterion 3 requires her to play a "major role in co-creating"...a..."well-known work"...which..."must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews."
- She meets the criterion. It doesn't require awards on top. If it did, it would be pointless, as any major award meets WP:ANYBIO anyway. CT55555 (talk) 02:39, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- It's a small details and probably not a game-changer in this context, but as you mentioned it at AfD talk, the draft article has three citations about her book.

My apology for without using an edit summary
Hi, I will apologize to you for not using the edit summary and the good news, I restore a few categories back at the Phyllis Marshall article. Also, do not use both categories to double categorize "People from" and "Musicians from" because it already in subcategories and cause confusion to readers. It best to have one specific occupation category to use "Musicians from" and do not use "People from" because occupations is more "specific". I hope you will accept my apology and move on also do not double categorize "People from" categories. I hope you will reply me back. Thanks. 2001:569:7D4F:CC00:878:74DF:C0C4:8766 (talk) 02:17, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- I accept your apologies. But I am not sure if I accept your logic. I think it is possible to be a Person from Barrie and also a Musician from Toronto. Because the XXXX...from Toronto type categories include people who lived there for a while. So in Wikipedia categories you can be from two places. However, Musicians from Barrie is not an option. My point is that people can be people and musicians and also from Barrie and also from Toronto. I realise it may be confusing, but that is the system we use here I think. People are not looking at categories to see where people are from, but people are using them to find similar articles.
- So basically I disagree. I don't strongly disagree because it's not about my opinion, more it's about consensus. And I'm not sure, but I think the way I have been doing it is in line with consensus.
- Thanks for the note and for reacting to my feedback. CT55555 (talk) 02:23, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- Really quick reply, I restore both Toronto and Barrie categories by myself. Thanks for the reply. 2001:569:7D4F:CC00:878:74DF:C0C4:8766 (talk) 02:35, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
