Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jinmyeong Girls' High School

Hi. We appreciate your enthusiasm but generally a lot more experience than 300 edits is required before being able to understand our policies and meta tasks. If you want to help maintain the quality of te encyclopedia, you'll learn faster by helping combat vandalism where we urgently need your help. Check it out at the WP:CVUA. Happy editing! --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 17:22, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kudpung, thanks for letting me know. I didn't realize there was a set of criteria in place for being able to weigh in on these kind of discussions. I thought an understanding of the subject matter/Wiki rules would be enough. I'll check out vandalism like you suggested and look forward to giving input once I'm more experienced. Sorry if I crossed any lines! Katzenlibrary (talk) 18:24, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't actually a set criterion for joining in with debates and meta discussions, but it's unlikely that someone with only two or three hundred edits has picked up enough to understand it all. When you've learned all about vandalism and reverted a few thousand, then you can take a look at the far more important task of New Page Patrol, and by doing that, you'll learn how to vote effectively at AfD. It all takes time, but you'll get there so be patient and if you need any help don't hesitate to ask me. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 18:40, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Unicorn (South Korean band)

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 Unicorn (South Korean band) 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 "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.

Why?

Why did you delete my Twice edit? Just because it was announced that they would debut on October 20th doesn't mean it would actually happen. Also how is Allkpop unreliable? its used as a source on countless wiki pages.

Because the sentence you provided only repeated info that was already in the paragraph. You did include the album name, which I added to the main sentence of the section. But repeating the song name, etc. isn't necessary and only makes the section redundant. Furthermore, allkpop is not a reliable source and just because it's used on a lot of pages doesn't make it reliable. It just means that the info on those pages comes from an unreliable source that should be updated with a better one. The Project Korea Wiki Project has had many discussions about sources such as allkpop and found that they are not reliable (copy-pasting using translation apps, posting articles with proven inaccuracies, no link to the original news source, often heavily biased articles, etc.). Project Korea has worked hard to compile a list of reliable sources for use in articles about Korean music, film, etc. You can find it here: WP:KO/RS.

How does "once through their ears and twice through their eyes" make sense? Bom97 (talk) 16:12, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, Bom97! That's how a reliable source translated it. K-pop groups often don't have names that make sense (for example, Best Absolute Perfect (BAP) or Music Boys Live in Absolute Quality (MBLAQ)). It's possible JYP meant twice through their eyes as in their visuals (1) and dancing skills (2). Or, maybe he meant to say "once through their ears and again through their eyes." Either way, the quote in the article is what he said. You can't change a direct quote just because of your personal opinion. Katzenlibrary (talk) 16:21, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You can't compare BAP & MBLAQ with Twice... BAP & MBLAQ are all in english, they don't have a Korean meaning. Twice isn't an acronym that means something. If you went up to JYP and asked him what Twice meant do you honestly think he'd say "once through the ears and twice through their eyes" in Korean... his native language? Bom97 (talk) 14:56, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What? Yes, he'd say that he named Twice that because of that meaning. You're right that it's not an acronym, so maybe I used a bad example. Take April's example instead then. The group's name means "girl you can't help but love" because "A" represents the best and "Pril" means a lovable girl. It's an odd name for an odd reason, but that's the name. Same with Twice. Chosen for an odd reason, but that's the reason none-the-less. Katzenlibrary (talk) 16:51, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That source probably mistranslated whatever JYP said. I'm pretty sure its "once .. ears, once again eyes" even https://www.reddit.com/r/Korean/comments/3pit16/translation_help/ doesn't say "once ..ears, twice eyes". Also "한 번" means "once" and "한 번 더" means "once more" theres no mention of "twice"Bom97 (talk) 14:57, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your source for the translation even says "I'm being very liberal with the translation." Why trust the translation of someone on Reddit rather than the translation from one of the oldest English-language Korean newspapers that is also owned and operated by a major Korean newspaper corporation? It doesn't make sense. Katzenlibrary (talk) 15:38, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you acting like people don't get confused and translate stuff wrong? Anyways this convo seems pointless because you seem fixed on the present wording. Bom97 (talk) 16:07, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you acting like sources that use Google translate are more accurate than major news sources? I'm not fixated on the current wording, but if you want to change it based on translations from allkpop and Reddit then we're just changing it based on your opinion and unreliable sources, which isn't the way that Wikipedia works at all. If you gave me a legitimate, solid source for the alternative wording, then I would have no problem changing it. But all you've done is express why your opinion is the correct one despite having no sources and completely ignoring the list of reliable sources I provided you with. Yes, people translate things wrong. But I expect a random person on Reddit to get the translation wrong far more than a trained, professional translator working for a major news corporation. This conversation isn't pointless based on my contributions to it, because I'm completely open to changing it if there's a good reason. You are the one leading this conversation to a dead end because no matter what resources or information I provide you with, you refuse to find a real source for your claims and insist on arguing here instead. While we've been having this discussion, I've been looking for reliable sources for your wording (what you should have done) so we could end the debate but couldn't find one. So, maybe the wording you're advocating isn't so solid after all. Katzenlibrary (talk) 16:17, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not even going to bother with you anymore when you pretty much said JYP doesn't know how to properly speak Korean, and "google translate" lmao. Bom97 (talk) 02:17, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bom97 Hahaha! Okay, that's fine. I never said JYP couldn't speak Korean. That would be ridiculous. Also, I don't understand why GoogleTranslate is funny. That's what it's called and it's no secret that many sites like allkpop use it. By if you want to end this conversation, that's fine. We've discussed at length and haven't really gotten anywhere. No hard feelings. Take care! Katzenlibrary (talk) 02:41, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

King of Mask Singer

Hey there,

I realised that you replaced the winning singers from Episode 29 with N/A - that would fit with the show's rules, but unfortunately the rest of the episodes are not formatted that way. Along the way one user began including names of all contestants (whether they won or lost) and I assumed it was to make it easier for readers to find out who is who without scrolling around too much. Unless you want to go back and replace the names of all contestants who won a round with N/A, I will be changing it back to their real names so it doesn't look out of place among the rest. -- HuoyuDMY

Hi HuoyuDMY! I'm a little confused by your comments. The edit I made was before the contestants' real names were revealed (before episode 30 had aired), so I had taken them out because it seemed like the user who added them was including them as their best guess, rather than the confirmed identities. Once someone's real name has been revealed through the show, I have no problem including that in the article! Has the show started revealing the identities of contestants before they lose now? Seems like that would defeat the purpose of the show. Katzenlibrary (talk) 16:14, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, no worries - I think there was a bit of confusion going on about the format. All good now :) Other users seem to be adding contestants' real names before any official confirmation (their guess is often right, but that's another matter). The show itself doesn't reveal names until the singers have been eliminated.--HuoyuDMY (talk) 22:19, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, that's what I thought! Yeah, once the names revealed on the show I totally agree that they should be filled in. :) Katzenlibrary (talk) 14:29, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Chou Tzu-yu

On 11 February 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Chou Tzu-yu, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the public apology of 16-year-old K-pop star Chou Tzu-yu for waving a Taiwanese flag is believed to have helped Tsai Ing-wen win the Taiwanese presidential election? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Chou Tzu-yu. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 04:58, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
