Speedy deletion nomination of Norte Cartel

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 Norte Cartel requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Caribbean Airlines-Air Jamaica Transition Limited destinations

Hey - can you chime in on this AFD I created? I probably should have just WP:PROD'ed it but forgot before creating. This is a duplicate of Caribbean Airlines destinations so just hoping to clean up. Thanks --  R45  ^talk! 13:22, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi R45,

what am I supposed to do? From the de:wp I'm used to deletion discussions where arguments are exchanged and evaluated. Is an AFD some sort of poll where people just vote? Please advise. I'm of course willing to help. ;-)

Kind regards, Grueslayer Let's talk. 04:57, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

@Grueslayer: yup it's to vote. You can go to Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Caribbean_Airlines-Air_Jamaica_Transition_Limited_destinations and either vote to Delete or Keep the article --  R45  ^talk! 13:49, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

Boy George discography

Hi Grueslayer, just letting you know that the Hit Parade Italia source (http://www.hitparadeitalia.it/hp_yenda/lpe1987.htm) on Boy George discography says the peak for Sold is number 4. The first column refers to where they came in the best-selling albums list of 1987, and Sold was the 22nd best-selling album of 1987 in Italy. As we know, this is different from the peak position on weekly charts. The column "max#" refers to the album's peak, which says number 4 for Sold. Ss112 00:37, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Moin Ss112,

Thanks. I had stumbled across the article because of an edit of this IP which provided fake information in the John Foxx article. Might be I deleted a bit too much of this IPs contributions. Sorry in that case.

Kind regards, 04:25, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Guettarda. You're the first one who took notice of that project. ;-) A few more shots to come (Columbus Bay, Icacos, Wetlands) but those will not have much value for an encyclopedia. Kind regards, 22:28, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Lighthouse

Re File:St vincent jetty lighthouse.jpg. You allege that it is a copyvio from here. But that page clearly states: "Flickr Creative Commons photo by David Stanley". — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:56, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Moin RHaworth,

after a quick check I have to say that you are right. The website I was referring to refers to Flickr and mentions the licence. Sorry for being too quick here; if you have a look at the user's talk page or his Commons talk page you'll see why I looked into this picture in the first place. Sorry again for my superficialty.

Kind regards, Grueslayer 06:15, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Pelau

Just a note that per your request, content at User:Grueslayer/tmp1 has been moved to Pelau. Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 19:56, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Moin North America,

thanks for that. You're now the author of the article. That makes me a bit sad, for I wrote it.

Kind regards, Grueslayer 20:06, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

A problem was that the Revision history of User:Grueslayer/tmp1 has a bunch of other content not related to this article (e.g. diff), so it would have been inappropriate to perform a straight page move. I added some attribution to you in an edit summary (diff). North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 20:12, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Yes, that's why I had asked to delete the redirect; I normally use C'n'P to create an article. *sigh* Kind regards, Grueslayer 20:16, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Sorry for any inconvenience. I did delete the redirect, which actually wasn't necessary, because after I did so and checked the revision history for your temp page, I noticed the other content. Regardless, the page history needed to be WP:HISTMERGEed per WP:ATTREQ, even if a straight page move had occurred. In the future, you can create a new article on a new sandbox page that lacks other content in the revision history, which would enable a straight page move. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 20:27, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Potential solution: We could try this: Copy/paste the article original content from your temp page from here (not from the present article) to a new user page under your username. Then I can re-delete the article, at which time a page move can occur. I will still have to perform a histmerge afterwards, but I think this will remedy the issue with tools.wmflabs.org/xtools output, whereby the article will appear on your tools.wmflabs.org/xtools statistics page. Let me know if you would like to proceed with this. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 20:32, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

N.b. If you want to proceed with the above, you will have to create the new page in your userspace, which I believe will correct the tools.wmflabs.org/xtools matter. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 21:05, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Dear North America,

the draft is now here, ready to be moved. Given the small changes you did to the articles it might be quicker to do them again instead of importing the history, but then I have no real idea of the work behind an import.

Thanks in advance, and thanks for guarding so many Trinidad-related articles, and kind regards, Grueslayer 12:24, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

 Done After the page move, I had to perform a hist merge to retain attribution to this page, per policy, but this should show up as an article you created on your tools.wmflabs.org/xtools statistics page. I sure hope it does, as you deserve the credit for creating the article! North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 13:43, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

Update: It worked. You are now properly credited as the article creator on your tools.wmflabs.org/xtools statistics page, and the entry that was previously on my tools.wmflabs.org/xtools statistics page is gone. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 13:50, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

Indeed. Thanks a lot for all your labour, and sorry for any Inconvenience! Kind regards, Grueslayer 14:02, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

Not a problem, and thanks for creating the new article. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 14:04, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

Bhojpuri categories

Re this: I have no opinion on whether these categories should go on the article or only on Category:Bhojpuri language, but whatever the choice it should be done consistently: we can't have some of the "Language in X" categorisation be done in one place, and some of it in the other. – Uanfala (talk) 13:44, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Dear Uanfala,

my knowledge of the rules in en.WP is limited. In de.WP it would be handled like this: If an article could have the categories "red", "vermilion" and "blue", and "vermilion" would be a subcategory of "red", then the article would be attributed with the categories "vermilion" and "blue", but not with "red", as that's already contained in the subcategory "vermilion". Is that example comprehensible? Of course every Wikipedia has its own set of rules. From what I've seen in edits in various articles, categories are treated in the same way here, but I might be wrong. In that case: Sorry! Would be nice if you could point me to the appropriate rule.

Kind regards, Grueslayer 14:23, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

That's now what I was referring to. Let's take Category:Languages of Uttar Pradesh and Category:Languages of Mauritius. You can either have them both directly on the article, or both on its eponymous category: Category:Bhojpuri language. – Uanfala (talk) 14:33, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Nevermind, "Language in X" categories are usually added directly to articles, so I've added them back there and removed them from Category:Bhojpuri language. – Uanfala (talk) 14:38, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Okay, that makes sense now. Thanks for that. Kind regards, Grueslayer 21:41, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Grueslayer! You created a thread called Infobox Size at Wikipedia:Teahouse, but it has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days.

Event coordinator granted

After reviewing your request for the "eventcoordinator" permission, I have temporarily enabled the flag on your account until 2019-10-12. Keep in mind these things:

• The event coordinator right removes the limit on the maximum number of new accounts that can be created in a 24-hour period.
• The event coordinator right allows you to temporarily add the "confirmed" permission to newly created accounts. You should not grant this for more than 10 days.
• The event coordinator right is not a status symbol. If it remains unused, it is likely to be removed. Abuse of the event coordinator right will result in its removal by an administrator.
• Please note, if you were previously a member of the "account creator" group, your flag may have been converted to this new group.

If you no longer require the right, let me know, or ask any other administrator. Drop a note on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of the event coordinator right. Happy editing! Salvio 09:01, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks Salvio! Do you happen to know someone I could pester with a few questions regarding things to consider when supervising a fleabag of new users? Thanks and kind regards, Grueslayer 10:18, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

I'm afraid I can't be of much help here, as I've never been involved in organising an edit-a-thon. I can only point you to Wikipedia:How to run an edit-a-thon. Sorry... Salvio 10:43, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

You're very welcome, and I really appreciate the update! It's great to know that those sources I add around are going to good use. Best of luck on the German Wikipedia! JimmyBlackwing (talk) 05:30, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

1. Edit the page
2. Remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. Click the Publish changes button.

Dunnet edit

Hello,

I would like to discuss your deletion of the "official page" of Dunnet. Your comment was that it is "not" an official page. On what do you base this opinion? This page was added after considerable debate on whether or not Dunnet is WP:NOTABLE (which it was determined it was). One of the people heavily involved in the debate decided that this was indeed an official page. I am the author of Dunnet, and maintain the page. I do not edit the Dunnet Wikipedia page, due to WP:COI. However, I had assumed your edit was vandalism.

Thanks, Ron Ron Schnell 00:20, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi Ron,

first of all, thanks for Dunnet!

a website is characterized by a domain name. The website you linked is www.driver-aces.com. It doesn't meet the requirements specified in WP:EXT in so far as it doesn't deal with the article topic. The specific link isn't even the website, but a path containing a URI fragment linking to two questions as part of an "interview" you did with yourself, and those two questions on a subpage of a website are not what we want in the "External links" section.

If you're asking me: Dunnet deserves an official website. Dunnet.org is free, for example. Also, nobody would object against e.g. RonSchnell.com/dunnet being listed under "external links".

Kind regards, Grueslayer 06:09, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. So you're saying that the form of the URL has some relevance as to whether or not it is acceptable? That is surprising to me. Why is "RonSchnell.com"

okay, while "driver-aces.com" is not? They are really the same, as far as I'm concerned. Having said that, I have no problem registering a new domain just for the

purposes of conforming. Would you have an issue if it redirected to the same place? Considering this website has been around as somewhere people go to fing out

about Dunnet for almost 30 years, it wouldn't make sense to me to change it now. Ron Schnell 04:22, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi Ron Schnell,

sorry for getting back to you so late, I had a bit too much on my desk.

To show a positive example of what's meant in WP:EXT: Thaumistry: In Charm's Way, a modern text adventure. That one has an official website: www.thaumistry.com. A URL dedicated to the lemma, and its content is about the lemma only. Is the difference between that site and "http://www.driver-aces.com/ronnie.html#dunnet" graspable?

Kind regards, Grueslayer 05:48, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi Grueslayer,

No worries. We all get busy. Obviously I know the difference between the two URLs. I think I made that clear. I even said I have no problem registering a domain name to accommodate your feelings on the subject, although I disagree. Dunnet is obviously not a *modern* text adventure!

In any case, what I asked in the previous message is whether you would be okay if the new domain redirected to the existing page, to accommodate the 30+ years of search engine rankings, etc.

Thanks! Ron Schnell 06:22, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
