Provincial Scotties AfD

Hi, I figured I'd put this on your talk page for a change. Someone put all of this year's provincial Scotties tournaments up for AfD, and I was hoping you could weigh in with your opinion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2017 Manitoba Scotties Tournament of Hearts. WP:CURLING seems inactive at the moment, and no one has helped me out in my defence yet! Cheers. -- Earl Andrew - talk 16:47, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I viewed your "war" with this guy - and I'm on your side. I'll try to say small speech - maybe it will have some weight on correct (I'm sure - because it's curling, not "any other sport") side. -- Alexey Gustow (talk) 19:00, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks - it looks like people are avoiding voting on the AfD. Perhaps good news? We'll see. Anyway, I will try to improve all of the articles with more references to help our case. -- Earl Andrew - talk 21:34, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

I had in past some similar "wars around laws" in Ru-Wiki (I tried to explain Ru-Wiki-"important people" who knows little about "curling specific" that, for example, "Scotties/Briers medals is equal to Euro Champs medals"; they said: "Law is the Law" - about Ru-WP-law for articles about sportsmen of "any kind of sport": "you can add to medal table only competitive international medals, not any nationals, juniors or seniors"; I was loser in those cases). We'll see in this case. Let's hope. -- Alexey Gustow (talk) 22:39, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

• OK, @Earl Andrew: - you win the AfD debates! (with a little help of your - and curling - friends) :) Congrats! Because this articles are really needed infos. -- Alexey Gustow (talk) 21:14, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

More WP:Curling debates

Hello again, Alexey. Some editors want to re-write the notability guidelines on curlers. See: Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(sports)#Curling_notability_rules. I have conceded that they need to be changed, but I want to hear more from the Wikipedia curling community. -- Earl Andrew - talk 18:36, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

• Hi Earl. I'll look what this "war" about - maybe I'll find what to say. -- Alexey Gustow (talk) 19:05, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Russian Olympic Trials?

When I was watching the Canadian Olympic Curling Trials, they said the Russian team will be Sidorova/Moiseeva. Does this mean they will be playing off to go to the Olympics? Or are they both on the team? -- Earl Andrew - talk 03:35, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

Hmm, WCF says Sidorova will be the skip (I thought I had read this a while ago, and I did - I made the edit to her page!). So is Moiseeva on the team too? -- Earl Andrew - talk 03:36, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

It will be "Russian trials" in late December between Sidorova & Moiseeva teams ("best of 7" as I know). Early, before Sidorova's bad perfomance on Euro-2017, Russian Curling Federation said (in spring, after Sidorova's silver success on Worlds): "We don't need any trials for women Team Russia - Sidorova (and only Sidorova) will play both on Olympics and Worlds 2018. Simply because they are best forever!" Now Ru-Federation changed his opinion - and we'll have "trials for two" too (winner goes to Olympics, loser - to worlds). :)) Let's try to read (on Russian with Google Translate) about this here for example. - Alexey Gustow (talk) 10:54, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

Oh, thanks! Would be nice to have an article here on it! hint, hint. ;-) -- Earl Andrew - talk 00:17, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi Earl. I created (very primitive - maybe someone makes it better reading/viewing?) article about this event here. Russian Federation said about shedule and line-ups today only. (attention! "2017 Russian Olympic Curling Trials" is not official title of event; I titled it in sush - common for identical events - style for better finding in Wiki). -- Alexey Gustow (talk) 16:40, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi again Earl. Look (about this article) to this discussion page too.

Great! What is the official name of the event? Should be added to the article. I agree we shouldn't move it for the sake of consistency. -- Earl Andrew - talk 18:42, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

As I can see there's NO any "official name" (SuperCup - like in 2016 - or any other). Russian federation site said (in news text) simply "отборочный турнир по кёрлингу среди женских команд на Олимпийские игры 2018" (on Russian; google translate it as "qualifying tournament on curling among women's teams for the Olympic Games 2018"). Maybe some later we'll know any "official title" for this event... maybe not. -- Alexey Gustow (talk) 19:47, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi again Earl. Today you (and everyone) can see Draw 1 of Russian women trials on Youtube live sreaming right now (link at "Video" section in article). And what you can say about? -- Alexey Gustow (talk) 05:25, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

Sources

Hello, thanks for creating Martin Rios. You may be in the process of doing this, but as it's currently unreferenced it is in danger of being tagged for deletion. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 20:34, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello! As I know, for today for curlers is "base enough" if sources are: record in WCF players database, record in Curlingzone players database and (if exists) record in Sports-Reference database (for Olympians). Now I create interwiki with article in Ru-Wiki, where I'm mainly writing about curling. -- Alexey Gustow (talk) 20:42, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm afraid I have only just seen this response. I'm sorry, but I can't really understand what you have written. It still has no refernces, and neither do other articles like Manuela Siegrist. It is really important that all biographies of living people have their sources clearly given, and WP:INLINECITED. You have given 'external links' but that means 'suggestions for further reading' and does not mean 'sources used in the writing of this article.' Please add references to the articles you've created. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 20:01, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Earl! Can you explain to Boleyn about sources for curlers? I can't. -- Alexey Gustow (talk) 20:54, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

You have also created Mathilde Halse, a biography of a living person which has no references in it, and Julie Høgh. Which sources did you use to write this? Do you understand the difference between inline citations and external links? Is your English at a level where you should be editing English Wikipedia? Boleyn (talk) 22:11, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Please add inline citations to Mayo Yamaura. Boleyn (talk) 22:18, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Moved to draft

Yulia Portunova is an unreferenced biography of a living person and so has been moved to Draft:Yulia Portunova. Please work on it in draftspace and re-submit it via WP:AFC. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 22:24, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

And Draft:Victoria Moiseeva and Draft:Vitaly Vladimirov and all other unreferenced biographies of living people at [2]. Please be aware this doesn't mean they're deleted - it's a move to avoid that - but they cannot be in the mainspace without clear citations. Boleyn (talk) 22:27, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Draft moves

Hi Alexey, I'm not sure whether or not it is OK to just move pages to draft, I'm not up on that Wikipedia rule. But if you add some inline citations to the articles (just add <ref>[INSERT URL HERE]</ref> (putting in the reference link where [INSERT URL HERE]) is in a few places in the draft articles, and I will move them back. -- Earl Andrew - talk 21:02, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Admins and those with the page mover tools can move pages to draft, especially in a case like this (biographies of living people with no clear sources). In this case it wasn't 'just' moved though, but after six messages about the issue had been ignored. Thanks for your hard work addressing the issue, Earl Andrew. Boleyn (talk) 18:08, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Ways to improve Marlene Albrecht

Hi, I'm Boleyn. Алексей Густов, thanks for creating Marlene Albrecht!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. The one source you have given is unclear. As this is a biography of a living person, it needs more WP:INLINECITED sources.

Sources and communication

Can you please respond to the many messages I have sent you? WP:Communication is required. Do you understand how to WP:INLINECITE sources? Do you understand that this is especially important for biographies of living people? Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 17:21, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

I see you're still editing, can you please respond? Again, WP:Communication is required, it is not optional, and continuing to ignore messages could lead to a block. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 08:27, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Mmmmmmmmm..... Show me an example how to edit correctly (in your opinion) - in article "Malene Krause" for example. "External links" exists, links to 2 main sources about curler - WCF profile and WCT/Curlingzone profile - exists. Yes, they are not "inline refs" - but you can examine info in article using this links. What you need else??? ))) "Main en-Wiki curling guy" Earl Andrew (and many other en-wiki-people) tell me nothing (zero!) wrong about such articles - communicate with him at first about all that. I need time and powwer for wiki-work - not for blabla. -- Alexey Gustow (talk) 08:55, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

It's not about my opinion, it's about the guidelines, and I have linked to them seven times for you just on this page - click on WP:INLINECITE. This is recommended for all articles, but is a requirement for biographies of living people. I am not going to communicate with others about your edits, although I see Earl Andrew has given you the same advice at User talk:Алексей Густов#Drafts. Inline citations are needed for biographies of living people. Will you add these to those you have created and agree to add them from the beginning in future? Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 12:30, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Can you please respond to my message above? Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 19:54, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Can you please respond? Earl Andrew, would you mind joining the discussion? Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 20:50, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi Alexey, the easiest thing you can do is just add at the end of each piece of information in each article you put together. -- Earl Andrew - talk 14:03, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, Earl Andrew. Alexey, I see you've edited since the messages above were left but not responded, can you please do so? If not, this will have to be discussed at WP:ANI, where you risk a block. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 09:25, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

It has now been six weeks and several messages since you responded to me. Another editor has given you the same advice - it is essential that you respond to other editors' concerns, especially when they are about as important a matter as not properly referencing articles on living people. Boleyn (talk) 19:29, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

WP:ANI

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Boleyn (talk) 19:36, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Alexey. Please don't tell anybody again that you don't have time for blabla. Blabla is essential on a collaborative project like Wikipedia. We are all volunteers here, and you've severely been wasting Boleyn's time by ignoring their messages. You have been blocked from editing for 48 hours to drive home the point. If you don't start to communicate better after the block, you may be blocked for longer. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Your draft article, Draft:Tahli Gill

Hello, Алексей Густов. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Tahli Gill".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. JMHamo (talk) 17:03, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Your article assessment

Hi there. I am very confused by your article assessment. You seem to think that articles such as Ken Tresoor are start class, but they are nowhere near start class. Thanks, Willbb234^Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 21:07, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi there. I think nothing about "start class" (or any "class") for articles. I create article "as first version" and talk page for it - and anyone who want (and who "know how" - it's not me) can decide what "class" this article has.

October 2019

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Please do not link people multiple times in a single article. Please do not link the subject of the article in their own article. This is against the Manual of Style. Willbb234^Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 10:17, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you Willbb234 for link to Manual of Style - I read in but time ago. Excuse me - but I'm doing like other Wiki-people do. I look (for example) to List of men's World Curling champions - and I see that (for example) Ernie Richardson linked multiple times. I look (for example) to World Curling Championships - and I see that (for example) Canada linked multiple times. I'm novice (relatively) in English Wikipedia editing. If I linked the subject of the article in their own article - it was my mistake (because copy-paste from other article about - for example - his/her teammate) of course. "Curling society" in Eng-Wiki haven't opinion that I make "disruptive editing" (as I can see last few monthes; Earl Andrew, isn't it right?) - but I can make errors of course, I'm human only. ;) -- Alexey Gustow (talk) 18:01, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Robert Buchanan (curler) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Robert Buchanan (curler), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Brier Media Guide

Hi Alexey, unfortunately I don't think the media guide is available on the web anymore. I downloaded in 2017 from that year's Brier website, and have it in my Google Drive. I can see if I can send it to you if you want. -- Earl Andrew - talk 16:49, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

• About that I wrote to you - how I (or anybody else) can verify information with such link to "I have this rare ancient book in my bookshelf - and you all must believe me that this info exist in this book you cannot see by your own eyes"? Maybe (at tha same time when you downloaded it from champ site) you archived it (it's link) on web.archive.org and linked to web-archive too? (I try to do such way - especially after "stupid reconstruction" site of Russuan CF in March 2017, after that official information about news and events before 2017 now not exist on this site; and for today it looks like "there was NO any Russian curling before 2017"... brrr...) For example Media Guide for 2019 Tim Hortons Brier exists in web-archive (here); I linked to it in Ru-Wiki article ("Ссылки:" - "2019 Tim Hortons Brier media guide.pdf. Архивировано 12 июня 2019 года. (англ.)"). Web-archive is a good "stable island" place for this every day "reconstuctable" web-world I mean :) -- Alexey Gustow (talk) 17:31, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
  • You raise a good point, but often with these things, they are theoretically verifiable, as one can go to a library and look things up, or order the book off of Amazon or something. With the 2017 Brier Media Guide (and other CCA media guides at the time), they had to be downloaded from the event website, and so there was never really a link to the information. When I did provide a link on Wikipedia, I realized it was just a link to my Google Drive, and I kept getting emails from random people wanting to access it! -- Earl Andrew - talk 17:41, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!
