| Hi, I've just submitted ] at Articles for Creation and I'm looking for editors to help review. Since editors here are likely familiar with the brand, I figured this would be a good place to start.

| Quality assessments by Misplaced Pages editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at ], but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent ] was approved and has been implemented to add a {{para|class}} parameter to {{tl|WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment. | |||
| == Nomination of ] for deletion == | |||

| ==External links== | |||
| ] has declared that he intends to remove all "spammy" external links that are not official sites or tournament results. he has thus far removed links to , , and others. Some of these have already been reverted, but this assertion that everything is spam except official sites and results is spam should be addressed here. This notion is absurd in my opinion, and most likely just another example of DegenFarang's tendatious editing, but I would apprecaite other editors weighing in to agree that authoratative, expert, quality websites like Cardplayer and at least a few dozen other sites are valuable links to have in articles where appropriate. ] (]) 02:41, 7 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
| :These are clearly and obviously ridiculous edits driven by some kind of personal agenda on the part of ]. The sites in question are used as references all over the place, both online and offline. And before someone accuses me of making a personal attack, take a look at the user's edit history. It's all well and good to "assume good faith," but when an editor repeatedly demonstrates that he's not editing in good faith, something needs to be done. ] (]) 03:25, 7 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
| ::I'm agreeing with 2005 and Rray; the majority of the sites that are being given in the eternal links aren't "spammy," and contain relevant, interesting material. I also cannot help but notice DegenFarang's apparent grudge against 2005, what with the constant harrowing regarding edits and changes to his talk page. ] (]) 12:18, 7 August 2011 (UTC) | |||

| ::::I plan on adding my input further down the line, but couldn't resist saying that your comment literally made me lol. ] (]) 01:28, 8 August 2011 (UTC) | |||

| **It depends which site. Poker-Babes.com is a self-published source which should not be used at all anywhere imo given how aggressively it has been spammed on Misplaced Pages. I had been used as an external link on nearly every poker player BLP and more than 200 articles in total until I finally got permission to remove them all. As user2005 added 90%+ of the links you can imagine how hard he and his sock and meat puppets fought to prevent that. ] (]) 14:46, 7 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
| **See below. It is a website owned by the largest poker site in the world, and fronted by someone the New York Times, Times of London and Associated Press aknowledge as an expert. ] (]) 01:11, 8 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
| *First it should be noted user2005 was just banned for highly suspicious sockpuppet/meatpuppet behavior and the investigation is ongoing. At least five administrators said he was clearly using three accounts to create the appearance of a consensus when there wasn't one. We should thus be very skeptical here about whether consensus is real or manufactured. Rray in particular is a person who always shows up on these discussion and his opinion imo should be ignored and counted as one vote with 2005's, along with all of the other people whose account he controls or recruits to this discussion. | |||
| Although it would be a little silly on for example ]'s article with 17 bracelets, and in the next row none rings, but this wouldn't be a problem as you can choose the parameters of use when implementing the infobox in an article. ] (]) 14:32, 30 August 2023 (UTC) | |||
| *Regarding the links: if the content has value they can be used as references. The external links are unnecessary unless the information can't be easily quoted in the article, like with tournament results. 2005 cherry picked the most reputable sources but there are tons of others that few people have heard of with random domain names and next to no traffic. Allowing any site which does a 'profile' or interview with a player to have an external link on that players article is just going to invite tons of spam (and in fact it already has, and I'd like to clean it up without needing a huge edit war with 12 of 2005's sock and meat puppets to do so). ] (]) 14:40, 7 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
| **Having read your post again I would actually agree with this: "authoratative, expert, quality websites like Cardplayer and at least a few dozen other sites are valuable links to have in articles where appropriate". However I think 'at least a few dozen others' is the problem. There are not a few dozen 'authoritative, expert, quality websites like Cardplayer'. There are about four. All the rest is the spam that I'm referring to. <span class="autosigned">--] (] • ]) 14:57, 7 August 2011 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Signing--> | |||

| :** poker-babes.com in particular does not seem like a reliable source to me, with a "reputation for fact-checking and accuracy". Removing those references and contentious facts sourced by them may absolutely be appropriate. I would not label DegenFarang's edits in that regard as disruptive.<br>On the other hand, reliable source or not, using pages hosted there as external links may still be appropriate if they have useful content that the respective articles lack, as per ]. ] 16:44, 7 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
| :***Rray is clearly acting as a sock or meat puppet for 2005 here. These accusations and word choices (like the repeated use of 'dozens of other...') are classic 2005. Also notice how 2005 and the other socks/meats are gone but this user who you pronounced 'clean' has taken over. His comments should be removed and his account blocked until this discussion is over. ] (]) 00:50, 8 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
| :***Because of Degenfarang's refusal to accept consensus, this has been discussed many times before, but Degenfarang continues to ignore the views of everyone else. The site is owned by ], the largest poker site in the world. The face of the site is an expert player and has been quoted as an expert on poker in , , and other reliable sources. The links he is removing are valid expert links, and they aren't even reverenceing anything controversial. In the past more than a dozen editors have added links to the site, including several admins, as edit histories show. They were added by a variety of editors including those who added a single one like and , along with a bunch added when when first creating articles like and more often by the two editors most responsible for building out the poker section of the Misplaced Pages and and and and , as well as and and and and and for starters. These editors alone have over 40,000 edits between them. While due to changing BLP rules over the past 8 years since, it is no longer a valid reference in BLPs (except for writing by the subject of the article), but it is an excellent resource for definitions, game rules and things like how many cards you get in Badugi. Personally I think the New York Times, London Times ans Associated Press are a better judghe of merit than Degenfarang. ] (]) 01:09, 8 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
| :****Your claims of consensus are almost as dubious as your claims that nobody agrees with me. Stop your canvassing and meat puppeting and read what other people are saying and you'll see that lots of people have agreed with me each time this has been brought up. That is why more than 100 links to poker-babes, both as an external link and reference, have been removed. ] (]) 01:25, 8 August 2011 (UTC) ] (]) 01:21, 8 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
| ::From my understanding this thread is about external links in general, so why do you almost always insist on bringing up only one, poker-babes? Anyway, many of the links that have been questioned by DegenFarang are reliable sources and anybody that actually knows poker would rarely (if ever) question the authority of CardPlayer or PokerListing. Therefore, I think external links should extend past the official site and tournament results if the external links are relevant to the subject at hand and/or have additional information that might not be included in the actual Misplaced Pages article. ] (]) 01:39, 8 August 2011 (UTC) | |||
| ===Specific content disputes=== | |||
| Rather than reverting any more edits, I've begun three specific discussions on three different articles' talk pages.

Request for comment on Biographies of living people
Hello Wikiproject! Currently there is a discussion which will decide whether wikipedia will delete 49,000 articles about a living person without references, here:
Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people
Since biographies of living people covers so many topics, nearly all wikiproject topics will be effected.
The two opposing positions which have the most support is:
- supports the deletion of unreferenced articles about a living person, User:Jehochman
- opposes the deletion of unreferenced articles about a living person, except in limited circumstances, User:Collect
Comments are welcome. Keep in mind that by default, editor's comments are hidden. Simply press edit next to the section to add your comment.
Please keep in mind that at this point, it seems that editors support deleting unreferenced article if they are not sourced, so your project may want to pursue the projects below.
Looking for reviewers for GGPoker draft page
Hi, I've just submitted a new draft page for GGPoker at Articles for Creation and I'm looking for editors to help review. Since editors here are likely familiar with the brand, I figured this would be a good place to start. Would anyone be willing to take a look? I have a financial conflict of interest (I'm an employee of NSUSLab, GGPoker's platform developer), which is why I'm submitting the draft via AfC and looking for impartial reviewers. User:Officially Mr X and User talk:Compy90, I spotted your usernames on various WSOP page histories and it looks like you're active in this area but maybe not part of this project. Would either of you be open to looking at the draft? Thanks! Chris H (GGPoker) (talk) 13:48, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
Project-independent quality assessments
Quality assessments by Misplaced Pages editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Poker players by nationality criterion
Is it based on nationality or where they are based? Is David Steicke really a Chinese poker player simply because he's based in Hong Kong? Clarityfiend (talk) 11:16, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
