  • Instead of posting that barn-star or cat picture: maybe you should go to my user page, pick a page listed under "Articles that need improvement", and make an improvement.
  • I will generally reply inline to comments posted here, and without using reply-to.

Removing on-their-face credible sources from articles in AfD is discouraged

...as is citing to a book as a whole, making a single cite of two cobbled-together URLs, using cites which are quite likely copyright violations in the long term, and leaving a simple reversion tag when substantially editing a page. All of those are discouraged, I'd say; I'm curious why you'd support them. Anmccaff (talk) 21:15, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Let's have this discussion on Talk:Mental fact. Power~enwiki (talk) 21:15, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your edits... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Subuey (talk • contribs) 05:32, 18 June 2017 (UTC)




Improper Close

Discussions should be closed by uninvolved editors. I've reverted your closure here, which was improper. See Misplaced Pages:Closing_discussions#Closure_procedure. James J. Lambden (talk) 05:47, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

"In addition to formal closes that analyze the consensus of a discussion, discussions may also be closed where someone, usually an administrator, decides that the discussion is irrelevant or disruptive. This practice is used quite often on pages that attract heated dispute, although there are no rules in place governing its use, and there are times when closing a discussion can create even more strife than had existed before." Power~enwiki (talk) 06:16, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
Beyond "no rules in place" I don't see specific language allowing involved closes. Where the language is specific it specifies "uninvolved" in all instances. I believe you were the only editor objecting in that discussion. It would be best to allow the discussion to peter out or an uninvolved close. The editor's argument was not entirely unreasonable. James J. Lambden (talk) 06:38, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

I really hate that page, I don't know why I do it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Subuey (talk • contribs) 05:09, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for helping me out on my talk page! Costatitanica (talk) 18:56, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Clarification

That section came from Presidency of Donald Trump, and was stated by someone else. I just expanded based on the Misplaced Pages consensus, although I don't consider Trump one.

PerfectlyIrrational (talk) 21:56, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

You've just come back from being banned for 2 weeks. Making such a change without discussing it on the talk page first is inappropriate. If you don't stop acting disruptively now, I suspect you will be banned indefinitely by ANI. Power~enwiki (talk) 21:57, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

BRD

As you know, this means the pre-edit-warring status should be restored. Please undo your revert. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:36, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

I disagree with your assessment. This was added as the result of a disputed extended-confirmed-edit request today. The pre-edit-warring status is the one from yesterday, without this event on it. Power~enwiki (talk) 20:39, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Babington's tea room

FYI I removed the PROD. It's a famous tearoom. Established in 1893. It is also a very well-known tourist attraction in Rome, which is why I had no trouble adding six sources. 104.163.153.14 (talk) 04:51, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

6 and 15

Please do tell me why you think my edits are disruptive. I have checked what your contributions were to those articles, and they are to delete some very useful information in the mathematics section. Tell me why you think that information is "irrelevant", because in my mathematics department, checking the mathematical properties of a number on Misplaced Pages is commonplace. Thank you. Johnny3887 (talk) 03:16, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

There must be at least twenty facts of equal notability as "6 is one of only two positive integers that is simultaneously two more than a perfect square and two less than a perfect cube". It might be relevant on a page "List of solutions to Diophantine equations". Power~enwiki (talk) 03:27, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
Ah, a simple misunderstanding, then. In that case, in no way is my editing disruptive; I just added information that you think is better placed somewhere else. I think you are right, but I do not think that this constitutes 'disruptive editing' on my part. Please remove the warning from my talk page. Thanks. Johnny3887 (talk) 03:33, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
You're welcome to do whatever you want on your talk page, including removing the warning. Power~enwiki (talk) 03:35, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Omero

Thanks for your suggestions on the Afd page. Any ideas how to recreate the Omero article to reflect the base in knowledge she brings to Sunday morning TV? I would be happy to research, cite, and write about that. MaynardClark (talk) 20:59, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

I'm not going to have time to do any work on this until July 11. I see no rush to re-create the article before then. Power~enwiki (talk) 02:25, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

AN/I

As you participated in Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive957#Proposal: One-way IBAN on Godsy towards Legacypac, you may be interested in Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Proposing IBAN between Godsy and Legacypac. — GodsyCONT) 03:14, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

The Dreme

"no independent claim of notability"? You don't think a whole section of The Cambridge History of English and American Literature is indepndent enough? (See the Further Reading). PamD 22:53, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

I misread that reference as being to another copy of the poem. Looking again, I agree with you. Power~enwiki (talk) 22:53, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Talkback

Hello, 力. You have new messages at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Basecamp (company) (2nd nomination).
Message added 03:46, 5 July 2017 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

360 days

Hi - Talk:2017 Qatar diplomatic crisis - please open a chat if you want to change the archive time for stale discussions to one year, such a change is imho ridiculous, as you have tried to do that and been reverted, please seek a consensus on the talkpage for your changes, thanks Govindaharihari (talk) 21:09, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Please note that I added the 21d archiving yesterday for a one-off batch archive; some value between 21d and 360d will likely be appropriate going forward. Power~enwiki (talk) 21:11, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
diff - 360 days is a joke, take it to talk and get a consensus, actually 21 days of stale chat is fine for archiving, thanks Govindaharihari (talk) 21:12, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer granted

Hello Power~enwiki. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk.

  • URGENT: Please consider helping get the huge backlog down to a manageable number of pages as soon as possible.
  • Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
  • You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
  • Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
  • Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Alex Shih 00:27, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Power. I saw you got this and that you were interested in the push this weekend. If you haven't already, I would recommend reading the tutorial at WP:NPP! Thanks for your interest in new pages! TonyBallioni (talk) 00:29, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
@TonyBallioni: Is there a page that says what the icons mean when I click through to a page? I don't see it on WP:NPP Power~enwiki (talk) 00:31, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
Also I'd love a WP:BLP filter, but I suspect that doesn't exist. Power~enwiki (talk) 00:32, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
Help at page curation can be found at Misplaced Pages:Page Curation/Help. WT:NPR serves as the NPP project noticeboard and is useful for both asking questions, reporting issues, and bringing up other things of general interest to people who work in new content. You can suggest new features at Misplaced Pages:Page Curation/Suggested improvements. They won't get acted upon unless they are placed in Phabricator, but that is a good place to make a note of suggestions to get feedback. BLP would be tough to sort by because not every BLP will be categorized as such at creation. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:36, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Hello 力, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update:

  • The new page backlog is currently at 18,511 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a a day.
  • Some editors are committing to work specifically on patrolling new pages on 15 July. If you have not reviewed new pages in a while, this might be a good time to be involved. Please remember that quality of patrolling is more important than quantity, that the speedy deletion criteria should be followed strictly, and that ovetagging for minor issues should be avoided.

Technology update:

  • Several requests have been put into Phabractor to increase usability of the New Pages Feed and the Page Curation toolbar. For more details or to suggest improvements go to Misplaced Pages:Page Curation/Suggested improvements
  • The tutorial has been updated to include links to the following useful userscripts. If you were not aware of them, they could be useful in your efforts reviewing new pages:

General project update:

Kindly show me where it says I'm only allowed to post in my own section, and if I don't, you're allowed to remove my edit. If you can't do both of those things restore my edit to where it was. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 03:02, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Guide_to_arbitration#Responding_to_requests "If you must respond to some statement by another editor on the arbitration request, then you must do so in your own section." Power~enwiki (talk) 03:04, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
Did you read to the end of the paragraph? Are you a clerk or arbiter? No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 03:08, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
Do you want me to ask ARBCOM if my actions were appropriate? Power~enwiki (talk) 03:09, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
I'm sure ARBCOM has better things to do, and that we both know your action was inappropriate. You're not a clerk and have no right to edit other people's posts. Read WP:TPNO if you have any questions about this. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 03:18, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
