File:Half Brother album cover.jpeg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:13, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That is fine of course. —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 17:51, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Ellipsis London

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 Ellipsis London 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 company, corporation or organization 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of List of mountains in the United Arab Emirates

A tag has been placed on List of mountains in the United Arab Emirates requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

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.

DYK for Jew with a coin

On 3 September 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jew with a coin, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jew with a coin. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Jew with a coin), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Sources needed for Days of the Year pages

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages now require direct sources for additions. For details see the content guideline, the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide or the edit notice on any DOY page. Almost all new additions without references are now being reverted on-sight.

Please do not add new additions to these pages without direct sources as the burden to provide them is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages.

Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 00:02, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Noted, thank you for the info. —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 00:18, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Hand Fan Museum

The article Hand Fan Museum has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable museum, does not meet WP:N

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.

Sergiy Vilkomir

Hi, we need a death source for Sergiy Vilkomir. How did you ascertain that he was deceased? Can you provide a citation? Thanks, WWGB (talk) 05:06, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have this from a reliable source and will add an online reference as soon as it is available, I hope soon. —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 12:24, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Galerie Chalette

Hi Jonathan--this is my first attempt at an original article for Wikipedia and I have been working on it but finally got to the point that I don't know why I'd keep going without confirmation that it's going to get put up. I'm pretty sure it's a viable article, as the Lejwas were very important during their period. Of course, if you die without family (all your extended relatives having been gassed by the Germans) and leave your fabulous art collection not to the New Yorkers who have been sucking up to you for decades but instead to the state of Israel, it's not surprising that your history doesn't get written alongside of Sidney Janis, Charles Egan, Betty Parsons, and Denise René, etc. I did, in fact, personally know the Lejwas as a teenager. Otherwise, my interest is... mostly intellectual, and the citations should be for the most part solid.
My other question is... when should I stop writing? What's sufficiently encyclopedic? (that's supposed to be taken as one question!) (P.S. As a byproduct of working for the Lejwas, I also fixed up the Leon Polk Smith article, which, I am suspecting, was written by his estate's current gallerists. Also Robert Engman's, which I think might have been put in by a former student? If you have time, and I know it's not so much your area of specialty, I'd appreciate you looking at those pages too. My thought is that I'm going to work through a bunch of the constructivists, painters and sculptors, and cross reference gallery & museum references &c.) Thanks, Sicklemoon (talk) 22:22, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My recommendation for a first article would be a shorter article very much concentrating on the subject, with references concentrating on the subject itself. This article is very discursive as it stands. Considering the references that actually mention the subject, 2 and 5 should be combined into one reference, e.g., "<ref name=X>...</ref>" and then "<ref name=X />". The only other references mentioning the subject directly (in the title) are 17, 18, 20, so only four references total. More on the subject and much less not directly on the subject would be better. You can always build up articles later. I hope this helps and good luck. You are obviously an excellent researcher (and writer), which is just what Wikipedia needs IMHO, but I am afraid that is not necessarily what Wikipedia admins are looking for, they are following Wikipedia "rules"! If you like I could create a much shorter initial article based on a cut-down version of your text. Let me know if you would like this. —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 11:35, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It would be incredibly helpful if you could cut it down to the essentials--if it would not take too much of your time. It would be extremely useful for me, as I am trying to learn the form here. And, obviously (at least from my POV, and perhaps a view not sufficiently wary/respectful of Wikipedia Admins!) I submitted the draft before it was done, because I figured that would be the quickest way to learn what was wanted/required. Don't feel concerned about my writerly feelings--my understanding of the form is that anything important can be added back in a more appropriate wikipedia-centric style. And, yes. Discursive style. I'm trying to adjust that.

I'm feeling no sense of rush here, other than wanting to steepen my learning curve so I minimize unnecessary/irrelevent-to-this-project work on my end.

Thanks. A big thanks.Sicklemoon (talk) 17:18, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Titles/citations. Okay, as you can imagine I'm reading and rereading your post for the takeaways. So... the NYT article Pepis, Betty, Art Travels From Walls To the Floor; Accent on the Floor wouldn't count as a citation? To me, this article, which shows the Galerie's power in getting heavy-hitters like Picasso, Calder, and Leger to submit rug-designs to the gallery is a pretty huge deal (also humorous, but that's besides the point). Is there a possible way to include a reference like this in a way that counts towards Wikipedia's metric as a citation, or is this too much like original research, which I know is discouraged. Again--I'm sure you have other things going on--I have too much free time on my hands this week (and for a forseeable couple of weeks at least, because... coronavirus restrictions where I am living). Best, Sicklemoon (talk) 17:33, 27 March 2020 (UTC) (Katya)[reply]

I created an edited version of Galerie Chalette. One comment I have is to be very factual on Wikipedia and not to use "peacock" terms like "most interesting", "vigorous force", etc. I toned down the article by removing these. Instead, let the subject matter speak for itself. I hope this helps. —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 21:05, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article looks great. Point taken re: peacock terms. It was also helpful to see what you were doing with the footnoting. I still haven't figured out the Wikipedia equivalent of Ibid and Op. Cit.--and can definitely see that in a fluid medium like the Wikipedia editor these would be hard to keep hold of. In any case, this isn't a plea for more of your time, it's my thank you.

Galerie Chalette and Draft:Galerie Chalette

It appears that you copied the draft into article space. This should have been done by moving the draft, or by including a note in an edit summary that the draft was being copied. I have requested that an administrator perform a history merge. Please don't copy-paste drafts into article space. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:28, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you were in discussion with User:Sicklemoon. I am leaving the requests for a history merge and a merge standing. I still think that a history merge is needed to preserve attribution. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:30, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for sorting this out. I did significant edits to the article rather than just a copy-and-paste (see discussion above). If there are any relevant Wikipedia guidelines that it would be helpful for me to view, do send a link. —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 11:31, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Just checking in here to restate that I appreciate Jonathan's work on this piece and the time he has taken to orient me as a new contributer to Wikipedia. Even if I haven't yet figured out the right link to click for the algorithm to pick up on this fact (ha!). Thanks to you both. Sicklemoon (talk) 14:38, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome. For your next new article, I would recommend starting with a short focussed article, which can always be built up later if appropriate. Good luck and happy editing! —Jonathan Bowen (talk) 11:50, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
