Yikes Jack4576 (talk) 14:15, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This website sucks. A contributor notices an interesting person as a part of a musical subculture, does the work of researching it, finds a few reliable sources (Pitchfork, Grammy.com etcetera) and still the wikilawyers come knocking. No wonder this website’s coverage of contemporary/underground culture is woefully inadequate.

The culture of notability policing on this website is a systemic rot. Jack4576 (talk) 14:30, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

Hi, I've come across a few of your recent articles on Oz restaurants, with only two sources cited in each. Just wanted to remind you that two sources isn't really enough to establish notability per WP:GNG (we often say that three is the minimum), and especially in what comes to businesses or other organisations where the notability bar is higher per WP:ORGCRIT. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:27, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comment. I'm not sure 3 is the minimum, in some discussions 'multiple' has been said to include two. I'll try to look for three sources from now on though anyway, thank you Jack4576 (talk) 14:16, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's kind of a blurry line, and some editors will accept two, some want to see three. But in order to bulletproof a new creation and make your life a whole lot easier, find three instances of sigcov in independent RS, at least two of which are from outside the local area/industry niche publications, before you move to article space. Voila! :D Valereee (talk) 16:34, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I’d rather just take an approach of relying on two until policy that three is required becomes the explicit outcome of an RfC

In the meantime the group of editors where “some will accept two”, includes me. To me, two can mean multiple

Thank you for your perspective regardless Valereee Jack4576 (talk) 11:02, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, if you want to rely on two, knowing that may lead to an AfD when three IND RS SIGCOV including two outside local/ind niche literally almost never will (only exception I can think of offhand is WP:ONEEVENT). But then you shouldn't be surprised when AfDs happen or that you get a reputation for creating barely-sufficiently or insufficiently-sourced articles.

For me it's just not that hard to leave articles in my userspace while I try to find a third and generally end up avoiding AfD altogether. Literally the last time I can remember an article I wrote being nom'd was because it seemed obvious the subject was notable, it was a subject I try to avoid creating in, and I was annoyed enough with myself for spending my time there that I decided to go ahead and move it. Less than 24 hours, BOOM, AfD, and I probably spent twice as much time to ensure a keep as I would have if I'd just decided not to be lazy and never ended up at AfD in the first place. I'd rather not waste time when it's so easy to avoid. Valereee (talk) 12:04, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It shouldn't lead to an AfD, because the word 'Multiple' means two. Editors that assert that multiple means three are simply incorrect in my opinion, and would be misapplying the guidelines.

If you take issue with this, the best approach would be for you to resolve this interpretive ambiguity via an RfC, instead of trying to argue to me that 'multiple' does not mean two.

I don't think two SIGCOV sources are 'insufficiently sourced' when two sources complies with the guidelines. If it complies, it is sufficient.

If I only had one source, I would leave it in my userspace for being non-compliant. However, in the case that I have two sources; because it is compliant, I would be comfortable moving the articles from my userspace to the mainspace.

If editors want to misapply the guidelines and delete articles which are compliant with the 'multiple' source requirement, that's on them. Their decision to misapply the guidelines isn't going to influence my decision to follow them as written.

I think the best approach would be for this to be resolved by an RfC, but as you may be aware I am currently banned from WP:Space. Perhaps I'll raise one myself if this account gets unblocked at some point. Jack4576 (talk) 13:34, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a misapplication. It's a difference of opinion, and I suspect there's no RfC that could get consensus on either number because most of us recognize we need to be able to use some judgement instead of simply applying a toggle-switch. There could be subjects I'd accept with two instances of comprehensive coverage in top-level reliable sources that are outside the locale/niche; for me other factors come in at that point. But with three instances? Over the hump, for me.

And the thing is, if we've got those two, it ought to be child's play to find a third instance; the local rag or some niche publication would almost certainly take it up. Writing an article shouldn't be about "what's the bare minimum I can get away with?" Valereee (talk) 16:52, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, it is not a mere difference in opinion. There is one correct interpretation, and the two proposed interpretations are mutually exclusive.

My view is that multiple can mean ‘two’ is relatively obvious, and editors that don’t follow that rule are misapplying guidelines as they are written.

I accept there is an active interpretive dispute regarding which should prevail. This should be resolved through an RfC.

In the meantime I will continue to apply the correct interpretation unless consensus indicates that the other interpretation is the preferred one. Jack4576 (talk) 23:16, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We appear to be having a difference of opinion on whether this is a difference of opinion. :D Valereee (talk) 11:32, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Putting the question as "what's the bare minimum I can get away with" is frankly insulting Valereee. Sometimes worthy subjects only have a limited number of SIGCOV sources. This isn't laziness, it is occasionally a necessity. Especially when documenting cultures outside of the dominant Anglosphere. 11:49, 11 October 2023 (UTC) Jack4576 (talk) 11:49, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Multiple" can mean "more than one", but it can also mean "many". If "multiple" in the guideline is supposed to always mean "at least two", it should say so unambiguously. That wouldn't be unheard of; criterion #1 in WP:BKCRIT requires "two or more" sources of certain kind.

DoubleGrazing referred to GNG, which says "multiple sources are generally expected" and ORGCRIT, which says (under WP:MULTSOURCES) "[t]he word 'multiple' is not a set number and depends on the type of organization or product", adding "a Bangladeshi women's rights organization from the 1960s might establish notability with just one or two quality sources, while the same is not true for a tech start-up in a major U.S. metropolitan area". It'd still be fair to say that generally the unspoken minimum is more than two, because cases where less than three sources are enough are rare.

My final point is based on hypotheticals, but if someone's articles are often deleted, they're probably wasting their own time. What could be worse for them (and likely in some cases for Wikipedia) is that if enough people feel that the article creator is wasting the community's time too much, it doesn't matter who was ultimately right or wrong when the ban hammer strikes. Politrukki (talk) 20:00, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The only editors that are wasting the community’s time are those that incorrectly assert that ‘multiple’ means more than two.

Those editors waste the time end energy of other contributors by creating deletion discussions where they shouldn’t be created.

If you want to assert the (IMO) incorrect view that the word ‘multiple’ means ‘more than two’ on this website, you’re more than welcome to assert that in an RfC.

I’ve never seen ‘multiple’ defined as strictly ‘more than two’ in any of the major English dictionaries.

I don’t accept your ‘unspoken minimum’ as fair. If you want to asset that view; speak it, and do it through a community-vetted RfC.

In the meantime the spoken & unspoken view of many others editors on this website will be that multiple can and does mean two. Jack4576 (talk) 23:21, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve never seen ‘multiple’ defined as strictly ‘more than two’ in any of the major English dictionaries. - Ah, but the OED first definition is:

Consisting of or characterized by many parts, elements, etc.; having several or many causes, results, aspects, locations, etc.; manifold.

which does not say more than two, it says several, many or manifold. All of which do mean more than two. The OED definition of several includes

As a vague numeral: Of an indefinite (but not large) number exceeding two or three; more than two or three but not very many. (The chief current sense.)

So there you have it. Not that proof by dictionary tells us much about what editors intended with the usage here. For that I would suggest Politrukki has provided the answer. Certainly to me, multiple is always more than two (notwithstanding the very clear guidance of when we don't need multiple, but just a couple of sources), but that is because I would go with the mathematical definition. Again from the OED:

A quantity which contains another quantity some number of times without remainder; a quantity which is the product of a given quantity and some other, esp. one which results from multiplying the given quantity by an integer.

As there are no integers that produce 2 as a multiple (excepting 2 itself), 2 is excluded. So we have two dictionary definitions at least that exclude 2. But maybe not multiple definitions.

The last thing to say is that I have seen this debate (or a close variation) before. It was many years ago on a USENET group and became rather heated. I watched it all with some bemusement and my takeaway was this: people can get very invested in the meaning of words, but at the end of the day the concepts are a touch fluid. Both participants might argue their point forever, but the very fact of the disagreement showed the valid lack of agreement. The advice of Valereee is therefore good. If you just took the effort to provide more sources, a lot of time would not be wasted in notability considerations and discussions. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 06:39, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing that out re: the OED

Well, Webster defines it as 'more than one' so ...

What would save more time is if the Wikipedia guidance was resolved definitively on this issue through an RfC. In the meantime, given "valid lack of agreement" I'll be making the decision to defer to Webster.

If other editors wish to entertain themselves by attempting to remove articles with two SIGCOV sources that would otherwise pass muster, then that's their prerogative Jack4576 (talk) 11:46, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really think it helps to cite dictionaries, but if we are citing them, let's cite them properly. I note that one definition from Merriam Webster does say more than one. It also has these definitions:

the product of a quantity by an integer

and

something in units of more than one or two.

Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 12:25, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I don't see how my pointing to one of the definitions wasn't 'proper'... Jack4576 (talk) 12:32, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jack, just to note, I moved your new article to draft space, Draft:Miscellania (nightclub), as right now it wouldn't pass WP:GNG and could be deleted. In draft space, you will be able to work on expanding it. I'd recommend finding sources that demonstrate the club's notability (has it won awards? have famous artists played there?, etc.) When it's ready for mainspace, it should also be added to appropriate categories and Wikiprojects.

I’m not filing an unblock request. You should be capable of recognising yourself that you are WP:INVOLVED, and should remove it yourself.
Additionally, the fact you have just now requested an extension to the ban (seemingly) because I’ve suggested you are WP:INVOLVED, is retaliatory, concerning, and demonstrative. I don’t think your conduct is compliant with the rules of being an Admin.
You also haven’t explained what about my edits were ‘disruptive’. I made good faith edits which were rolled back, then I -partially- restored -some- of those edits -once-. This is not disruptive or edit warring. You can see on the page’s talk history that I’ve sought to reach consensus for the edits. Jack4576 (talk) 00:14, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page:
```
 {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

No. The relevant admin should remove the block themselves, as they are WP:INVOLVED. It’s not my duty to fix-up their rule-breaking. Jack4576 (talk) 02:41, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

closer look required

I'm baffled, disappointed, yet unsurprised, that "genocide of Indigenous Australians" is redlinked. This needs to change, that page ought to be created. There are a myriad number of sources

An edit summary like this requires a step back - there are labyrinthian rabbit holes and strange paths in the realm - bit like older versions of the western australian police act - well worth observing that there are: -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_massacres_of_Indigenous_Australians which has been included in

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Genocides_in_Oceania - however you would require some mightily unique take on these two areas to justify creating yet another article... take care. JarrahTree 10:17, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks JarrahTree, I did see that list page. I think a specialized page focused specifically on Australia's genocide of indigenous people's would be justified though.

The Frontier Wars page doesn't fully address the topic, as it is historically bounded. The list page also isn't wide enough in scope; because it excludes acts of genocide that weren't massacres; such as the eugenicist policies of A.O.Neville.

I'm unsurprised that Wikipedia lacks a genocide of Indigenous Australians page. This site has well-documented viewpoint issues, this seems like one more example of the problem.

Thanks for reaching out. I don't think it would be a 'mightily unique' take to write an article about indigenous genocide with a wider scope than only historical massacres and the frontier wars. Jack4576 (talk) 11:30, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

One thing it is not a 'site', take care with that as well... People have come a serious cropper with the over-use of the word and subject genocide (viz the warnings in the usage of the word terrorism categories for instance) in the wikipedian world, you seem combative enough, in the old days the journos who successfully crossed the terrace between the west office and palace hotel were a good example of those who survived, or there were those who allegedly fell down into the public urinal in the middle of the terrace to survive the onslaught... take care. JarrahTree 13:27, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a website, and so, a site. I'd ask you not to correct me on that point, it's quite off-putting.

I don't think it is 'overuse' of the word genocide to apply it to the Indigenous Australian context, much less in applying the word toward the manifestly genocidal policies of A.O.Neville. I couldn't care less about what the 'wikipedian world' thinks about the "over-use" of the word genocide. The 'wikipedian world' has well-documented viewpoint issues, I don't hold the incumbent culture here in especially high regard on topics like this. There is a subtle, yet noticeable, bias toward the views of certain demographics on here.

I don't think it is 'combative' to push back and point out the above either. Such is obvious. Jack4576 (talk) 14:39, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
