Deletion of alumni photo[edit]

@JJMC89:: Your bot automatically deleted File:Madraiwiwifatiaki.jpg (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Madraiwiwifatiaki.jpg) from University of Adelaide when it met the following conditions stipulated for fair use of the image: 1. To illustrate the subject in question (the image/file does so as it illustrates the subject as a famous graduate of the University of Adelaide) 2. Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information (that is the only image available on the subject) 3. On the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation (image is used only in the English-language Wikipedia)

What should be done to indicate the above fair use rationale (in parenthesis above) and where should the rationale be indicated for the image? Help pls. Thank you. Jacknpoy (talk) 12:52, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) Hi Jacknpoy. I've sort of answered this at c:Commons:Deletion requests/File:CJJONIM.jpg so I'll try not to repeat things too much. Wikipedia does allow non-free files of deceased person to be used per item 10 of WP:NFCI, but pretty much for only when the file is being used for primary identifiction purposes in a stand-alone article about the individual in question. The non-free use of such images in other articles is much harder to justify and typically only is considered acceptable when the image itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary. The use of such non-free images in lists, galleries or just for indentification purposes in other articles (or sections of other articles like a "Notable alumni" section) is pretty much never allowed per WP:NFLISTS, WP:NFG, WP:NFCC#3 and WP:NFCC#8. (Sorry for all the Wikispeak; these are all short-cut links to relevant pages containing nore specific details.) Moreover, in this particular case, the file itself might not be able to be kept per WP:FREER since a free equivalent is being discussed at c:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Ratu J. Madraiwiwi, Supreme Court of Nauru.jpg. If that Commons file is kept, then pretty much no non-free image of Madraiwiwi is going to ever be considered acceptable per WP:NFCC#1, and File:Madraiwiwifatiaki.jpg will be deleted. If that happens and the Commons file is kept, then you can add the Commons file to the university article if you like; however, you might need to establish a consensus to do so on the article's talk page if another editor subsequently removes it. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:43, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
@Marchjuly: Thank you for your detailed and helpful response in explaining where a non-free image can be and cannot be used. However, as you will see from the Oct. 27 discussion on that other image you cited above, c:Commons:Deletion requests/File:CJJONIM.jpg, I asked the admin there if I could use the file you just deleted (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Madraiwiwifatiaki.jpg) "for the WP article on the University of Adelaide, particularly the Notable People section." His reply was "Yes, of course." So was he mistaken in saying that it did not violate non-free use? Thanks.Jacknpoy (talk) 06:17, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
Commons and Wikipedia are sister projects and there is some overlap when it comes to image licensing policies, but Commons doesn't accept non-free content of any type (Wikipedia does accept some) and Commons is only concerned with how files uploaded to it are licensedcopyrighted, not how they are being used in the various language Wikipedia. Each project has its own policies and guidelines and files uploaded to Wikipedia must meet Wikipedia's, which in this case are WP:IUP and WP:NFCC. I don't think Patrick Rogel is a Commons administrator (both projects have separate administrators as well though some editors are administrators on both); however, even if he is an administrator the advice he gave you was mistaken for the reasons I posted above in my original post and also for the reasons I posted in that Commons deletion review. If you'd like other opinions on this, you can ask at WP:MCQ or WT:NFCC; however, the consensus against this type of non-free use has been pretty well established through various WP:FFD and WP:NFCR discussions over the years that I'd be kind of surprised if an editor experienced in non-free content use (like JJMC89 is) would tell you something different. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:15, 6 November 2018 (UTC); [Note: Post edited by Marchjuly to clarify how "copyrighted" was used in this context. -- 21:21, 6 November 2018 (UTC)]
Got it. Thanks for your very helpful explanation.Jacknpoy (talk) 15:58, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Moving short description[edit]

Hi JJMC89, In a recent edit to Richard Dawkins you moved the short description fron the top of the page to below the hatnote. Was this intentional, or did it just happen as an artifact of the edit system you use? If intentional, why? (there are functional reasons why a manually added short description must remain before any transcluded version, which are not visible to all editors). Please ping with reply, Cheers, · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 07:31, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

@Pbsouthwood: It is intentional since MOS:ORDER specifies that hatnotes are to come first. Since nothing else in the article transcludes {{short description}}, it doesn't matter where {{short description}} is placed. — JJMC89 05:51, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
Fair enough. It may become necessary to amend MOS:ORDER at some stage, but not until it can be shown to make a practical difference. In the meanwhile, the short description gadget puts the SD right on top, so that is going to continue to happen unless the gadget gets changed, which is not a thing I can do. Apologies for any inconvenience. Thanks for the clarification, Cheers · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 07:34, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Tangia Zaman Methila[edit]

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 Tangia Zaman Methila 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 real person or group of people that does not credibly 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 "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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Ymblanter (talk) 07:26, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

My apologies for templating a regular, but could you please have a look. The bots are not expected to create articles amenable for speedy deletion, something must have gone wrong here. Thanks.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:27, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
Indeed – T193833 strikes again. In general, it shouldn't create pages and definitely not articles. In this case, it was supposed to null edit the page since it was in Category:Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls. Since the page was moved without a redirect between when it read the category and got to that page, it unintentionally recreated the article with the content that was there before it was moved. — JJMC89 15:27, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
I see, thanks.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:34, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Paola Velardi's bio page: maintenance template put by you. Is it accurate now? + Help to avoid duplicate references[edit]

Hi JJMC89, thanks for calling me for the due actions to improve the bio page of Paola Velardi. I am writing to you with respect to the Recognition Section specifically, which you kindly signaled on October 13. I added references which support the statements I put in the section, with the hope to make the section's contents accurate. If you deem it so, please consider removing the Maintenance template for that section specifically. Paola Velardi herself warned me about the maintenance sign. She is going to use her Wiki page in two applications and she cannot do so until the page is accurate, which is my first and foremost duty to take care of. Because of this reason too, I am working hard to make the page more accurate, but on the other hand I would need you to remove the maintenance sign if the new outlook of the page can have this change "granted". I am now working on making a second section more accurate, which is the "Current Employment". I should signal that the only reason why I did not put any reference to it is because I (mistakenly) wanted to avoid a duplication of references which I used at the very beginning of the introduction text. I have now understood that a reference must be put anyway, and I will be doing so soon. A piece of advice on avoiding reference duplicates would be highly appreciated. I will signal you when the job is done, so that this second maintenance post can be removed. Thanks a lot, Best wishes Ilaria —Preceding undated comment added 08:09, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

ACC request[edit]

Thank you. - FlightTime Phone (open channel) 21:55, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks[edit]

Thanks for this, I was unaware there wasn't a refimprove stub. I'll add it to AWB! SITH (talk) 03:57, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

Please stop[edit]

You have been moving pages into Draft only because a sock accepted them via AfC. There is no demonstrated issues with these pages. This burdens AfC reviewers amd confuses new page creators who thought their page was done but all of a sudden see it deleted. You are also screwing up the number of weeks delay reported on 1600 AfC pages. So please stop or if you really feel this is important get consensus at AN or AfC for it. Legacypac (talk) 10:39, 17 November 2018 (UTC). I started a thread here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation#frayae_accepts_and_declines Legacypac (talk) 11:03, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

Given Dysk's history of undermining Wikipedia, they need to be reviewed correctly. Issues include non-NPOV / promo, lack of sourcing (especially for BLPs), unreliable sourcing, and notability. They should have been reviewed by an AfC reviewer in the first place, so it is not a burden to AfC. The estimated time to review is easily fixable. — JJMC89 21:34, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

Bill Milkowski[edit]

Why did you delete the Bill Milkowski page? I looked at the history and couldn't understand what you are doing.
Vmavanti (talk) 14:53, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

See the thread above. That BLP is almost completely unsourced. — JJMC89 21:35, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

UGHHHH[edit]

For god's sake help a brother out... Lol! I was in the process of trying to debug it... How would I go about adding the category WITHOUT it being substituted? --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 03:24, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

@Zackmann08: Why is the category needed? Can't you just use Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Infobox single? If you need to, you should use something like {{SAFESUBST:<noinclude />ifsubst|2={{main other|[[Category:Foo]]}}}}. (Please test in the sandbox.) — JJMC89 03:34, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
Technically it isn't... But the nice thing about a category is it lets me easily track my progress. Check out my userpage... I have a bunch of category counts I'm tracking. Anyway, in this case I was mostly just pissed I couldn't figure it out. --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 03:38, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

WP:INFOBOXIMAGE[edit]

Noticed you have been cleaning that category out. FYI there are some Twinkle templates you can leave on user talk pages if you so choose. {{Uw-thumb1}} & {{Uw-thumb2}}. :-) --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 05:52, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. I was trying to remember the name name for that template series. — JJMC89 05:54, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
Anytime. I spent a LOT of time on that project. When I started there were over 10,000 pages in the category. I got burnt out dealing with it but it is still one of the categories I watch on my userpage. {{Category count}} might also interest you. You can see it in action on my userpage. Turns red if the category has any contents (or more than a number you supply). --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 05:59, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Redirects[edit]

Hi, can u explain why you redirected all those pages ? I can't see any discussion about them resulted in redirecting. the only discussion which is ongoing is here where the majority "so far" agreed to redirect/delete the U23 pages but keep the senior one.
