Bracket issue

Hello 🙂

I am currently building a bracket in my sandbox, but there seems to be a visual error; between the first two groups, there are a couple of red lines that turn black when they're not supposed to, are you able to fix this? 🔧 Jq-22 (talk) 19:55, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Revision as of 20:02, 16 February 2024 on sources, 2010 in esports

The TL.net reporting of those games with replays included are the only comprehensive surviving sources of many of those tournament and the brackets that were in them. How can you say TL.net is not a trustworthy source when its the only remaining one? There aren't even archived versions of the original sites that hosted the tournament, i checked. If you can find a source other than TL reporting on the result of obscure broodwar tournaments go ahead and link them right on the page. Gröngroda (talk) 21:28, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

@Gröngroda: If tl.net is the only source you can find, then the topic may not be notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia. Consider looking for reliable sources in Korean. This may help: Wikipedia:WikiProject Korea/Reliable sources. – Pbrks ^(t·c) 21:36, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Like i said the tournaments i had to link TL.net for were obscure StarCraft Broodwar tournaments and the very first Starcraft II Tournaments. While you admittedly probably could find alternative sources for the StarCraft II tournaments the only way you could find alternative sources for the BroodWar tournaments would be if you spoke korean and browsed websites for archived copies of their reporting because every link to the same tournaments on the korean pages for the specific tournaments are broken with no archived copy. The Korean version of wikipedia has pages for the specific tournaments but no working sources for the results except guess what :~) TL.net and korean broodwar messageboards.

It's the site where every single person passionate about broodwar gathered for a reason. Gröngroda (talk) 21:39, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

For example just so you can see what i mean, if you go to https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/EVER_%EC%8A%A4%ED%83%80%EB%A6%AC%EA%B7%B8_2009 and check under sources to only source that isnt to a vod is TL.net Gröngroda (talk) 21:42, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

@Gröngroda: Forums are never suitable to be used as a source. See WP:UGC. You would need to find a better source, otherwise the event may need to be removed. – Pbrks ^(t·c) 22:12, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Signature of Prince Andreas

Hey, there. I noticed that you were the person who uploaded the photo of the signature of Elizabeth II that features in her infobox. I was wondering if you would be able to do the same with Andreas, Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. His signature is present on this page, but I'm not too sure on the rules regarding uploading signatures, hence why I have come to you. Thanks! - Therealscorp1an (talk) 09:05, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

@Therealscorp1an: This is no problem. For details on how Commons handles signatures, see c:Commons:When to use the PD-signature tag. The signature file is here: File:Prince Andreas of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha signature.svg. – Pbrks ^(t·c) 16:30, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Wow, thank you so much for all your help! I really appreciate it. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 22:25, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi, sorry to disturb you again. I have tried to upload the signatures of Constantine II of Greece and Queen Anne-Marie of Greece, found here, but when trying to upload it to Commons, I am struggling with picking all the licensing options, etc.. I was wondering if you'd be able to assist me again, sorry? - Therealscorp1an (talk) 00:00, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

@Therealscorp1an: The link you sent doesn't load the image that you had selected, and it looks like Constantine II of Greece already has a signature. Could you send which signatures you want in the articles? – Pbrks ^(t·c) 15:18, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Oh, sorry. Yes, someone added one to Constantine's after I left that message. Here is Anne-Marie's. Here is also Pavlos and Marie-Chantal's signature. I hope those links work. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 21:47, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

AfC Submission Review

I was wondering if you would be free enough to come over and help me take another look at my AfC Article submission here!

CaseOh

Why do you believe that CaseOh should be deleted from Wikipedia? You did not present any arguments, other than the fact that you said “you don’t think that any new sources will appear”. Multiple other people have stated the exact opposite, including me, so I do not understand why you would think that. Case’s popularity is constantly growing, and new sources will definitely come out. Please reconsider in your vote for deletion. Antny08 (talk) 14:34, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

@Antny08: As I said, there are not any reliable sources with significant coverage of the subject. Saying new sources will definitely come out is a WP:ATA#CRYSTAL argument. CaseOh does not meet WP:GNG. – Pbrks ^(t·c) 14:36, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

If you read my reasons to keep that I created for the closer, I stated how 1. If he meets WP:SNG (which he does), it says he does not need to meet WP:GNG, and 2. Two of the sources in the article I believe do meet WP:GNG. I do not believe it is a Crystal argument. He is a very popular figure with no stop in popularity, so based on the rate of sources now there are gaurenteed to be more soon, it’s hardly even an assumption since it’s pretty much gaurenteed. You are saying you don’t think that more sources will appear, you are the only one who said that, but most people including me believe the opposite. Deleting the article makes no sense, since time should be given to improve it. Antny08 (talk) 14:41, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

@Antny08: I do not believe that he meets that SNG criteria. The sources present have one of two problems: (1) If it is a reliable source (e.g. Esports Illustrated), then it does not contain significant coverage of the subject; and (2) If it contains significant coverage of the subject, then it is not reliable (e.g. Sportskeeda). It is absolutely, 100% a crystal argument to say that sources will exist in the future. – Pbrks ^(t·c) 14:48, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Then isn’t it also a crystal argument to say sources won’t exist in the future? Also, WP:SNG is not WP:GNG. All you need to do is prove that they won a significant award for WP:SNG, which he did and the sources do prove that. I think at least some of the ESports Illustrated articles provide significant coverage of him. It is more than just a list entry, there is a whole paragraph talking about him, and there are 2 photos featured of him in one of the articles, including in the main photo of that article. Antny08 (talk) 14:51, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

@Antny08: Yes, it is a crystal argument to say that arguments won't exist, and while I did mention that I don't believe sources will come in the near future, that was not my rationale. For one, I do not believe the subject meets WP:NBIO (the Streamer Awards is hardly a well-known award). Moreover, if you read NBIO, you would have seen that meeting one or more does [criteria] not guarantee that a subject should be included. Lastly, if the most coverage from a reliable source that we have is "a whole paragraph" and a few images, then the subject certainly is not notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia. – Pbrks ^(t·c) 15:00, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

In WP:Notability, it states,

“A topic is presumed to merit an article if:

1. It meets either the general notability guideline (GNG) below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific notability guideline (SNG); and
2. It is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy.“

It says it must either meet GNG OR SNG. The Streamer Awards is not hardly a well-known award. This year, the event had 645,000 concurrent viewers, with similar amounts in previous years. It was broadcasted by many popular celebrities and internet streamers, along with many celebrities in attendance. Less than 100 people have won something from the Streamer Awards, making it significant. That viewer count also definitely makes it well-known. Antny08 (talk) 15:05, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

The (intentional) problem here is that the "well-known" is subjective, so it is a matter of opinion. I am aware of the viewership, and I do not consider that to be a significant enough number to be deemed "well-known". Well-known awards would be the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, Grammy Awards, ARIA Music Awards, The Emmy Awards, etc. Lastly, a presumption of notability is not the same as a guarantee of notability. A presumption of notability means we give the subject an initial "benefit of the doubt" at AfD. It does not mean it gets a "free pass" at AfD. – Pbrks ^(t·c) 15:15, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, but it does not seem like anybody is giving CaseOh the “benefit of the doubt”. Also, the AIMA Music Awards only received less than 300,000 viewers last year. So if you perceive that to be well-known, then so is The Streamer Awards. Antny08 (talk) 15:20, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

@Antny08: I am moving this discussion to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CaseOh. – Pbrks ^(t·c) 15:19, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Pbrks/Archives,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

World Championship of Online Poker

Hi, I would like to improve World Championship of Online Poker article, as I noticed, you added the following tags to it:
- This article may need to be rewritten to comply with Wikipedia's quality standards. (November 2019)
- This article may be too long to read and navigate comfortably. (November 2019)
- This article is in list format but may read better as prose. (November 2019)

My idea is to divide it by year, keeping only the main article with the results of the main champions only (Only one tournament in the tournament series per year is the main event), statistics per country, most winners (all the main information), leaving all other tournaments on the series on the results article for each year. Will be the same we have today with World Series of Poker article:
Have the main article as World Series of Poker and results page per year like:
2022 World Series of Poker
2021 World Series of Poker
2020 World Series of Poker...
Of course I'll add references inside all articles and media coverage references.
Sounds good? Julian.karasinski2 (talk) 04:51, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

PUBG MOBILE NOVA ROSTER

It's better to keep it because people want it to be a part of the Nova History...... Your thoughts? Militarylover6194 (talk) 23:56, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

@Militarylover6194: No, it's unsourced; if the former roster is relevant, then it should be referenced and written in prose. Lists of former players are better suited for places like Liquipedia. WP:NOT is relevant. – Pbrks ^(t·c) 02:38, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
