Autopatrolled granted

Hi DanCherek, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Misplaced Pages:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Schwede66 02:19, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you so much! DanCherek (talk) 02:32, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

BTW, that I've picked your DYK for review is a coincidence; looked at your talk page after I said I'd review it and see that I last visited here a day ago... Schwede66 07:13, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. Small world :) DanCherek (talk) 12:37, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

DYK for Betty Jane Long

On 11 April 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Betty Jane Long, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Betty Jane Long was Speaker of the Mississippi House of Representatives for less than a day? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Betty Jane Long. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Betty Jane Long), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

A barnstar for you!

	The Writer's Barnstar
	For creating lots of articles on Finnish biographies. Keep up the good work.  :) Ashleyyoursmile! 13:24, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! Still more to write... DanCherek (talk) 13:33, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

VSN Wiki

Hello DanCherek, Thanks for the invitation to the teahouse (and excuse me, but I have to use a translation program to write, because my knowledge of English still leaves something to be desired ;-)). I also read your comment on the VSN Wiki page and do I understand it correctly that it looks to you like an advertising page for your own website ? That is not the case and certainly not the intention. My intention is to provide reliable information, while it is certainly also the case that I get information first hand and therefore have to watch out to guard my neutrality properly. Diederickdan (talk) 05:39, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

In tend to call it spam, cross-wiki, about a wiki of a non-elected political party. The Banner talk 12:02, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

@User:The_Banner: Not elected enough during the elections, but that doesn't make it any less of a people's movement, does it ? (And why are you interfering ? Don't you have your own page?) Diederickdan (talk) 12:59, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Anyone is welcome to comment on my user talk page, which is public. You wrote about having "first hand" information above, so it sounds like you may have a conflict of interest, in which case you should read our WP:COI policy. DanCherek (talk) 13:11, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

@Diederickdan: Thanks for the message and welcome to Misplaced Pages! I'm happy to explain in more detail. My point was that the only sources/references that you provided in the draft are links to VSN Wiki's own websites. Because we can't have a Misplaced Pages article on every website on the Internet (imagine how chaotic that would become), the English Misplaced Pages has developed a set of notability guidelines for web content. You can find these guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Notability (web) (and note that these are specific to the English Misplaced Pages — each language community has their own standards). Essentially, we're interested in seeing what published, reliable, independent secondary sources have to say about the website, not what it says about itself, and it needs to have received significant coverage in multiple of these sources. The draft was declined because it has not been demonstrated to meet these criteria in its current state. DanCherek (talk) 12:05, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

DYK for Barbara Yancy

On 14 April 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Barbara Yancy, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Barbara Yancy.

Your GA nomination of Wind phone

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Wind phone you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Wasted Time R -- Wasted Time R (talk) 00:21, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Wind phone

The article Wind phone you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Wind phone for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Wasted Time R -- Wasted Time R (talk) 00:41, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Sorry

Hi, I wanted to say sorry for my part in derailing the DYK. I was just about to come back to it to say that the Alt0 is fine as there is no point in using so much time on such a small thing. Hopefully someone else will take the review forward. I looked at your other Finnish DYKs and I like them. It's impressive how much time you spend on creating articles for politicians from smaller countries. -kyykaarme (talk) 15:11, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

@Kyykaarme: No derailment at all! Thank you for your comments. It wasn't until afterwards that I realized that the UK has a similar system, where the Cabinet members are also MPs, so I think you're spot on and it wouldn't be surprising to half the world, and that's why I'm happy to go with ALT1. In the US, where I'm from, if a member of Congress is nominated to a cabinet position, they have to resign from their legislative duties. And thanks for this message — I'm creating these for a Women in Europe edit-a-thon, and it's great to learn about these people as I write. DanCherek (talk) 15:19, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Ok, that's good to hear. I had also thought of the UK system and how Boris Johnson is the PM and also an MP, so that's two out of the three. And hey thanks for finding and uploading images of the Finnish politicians! I'll add them to the articles in other Wikipedias. I don't know how familiar you are with editing Wikidata, but did you know that if you add an image to a person's Wikidata item, the image will automatically appear in those Wikipedias where the infobox images are taken directly from Wikidata? For example, I added Eskelinen's image to Wikidata, and it is now in the French Misplaced Pages article, even though I didn't edit the article there. It's a bit of extra work to add the images to Wikidata, and you're already doing a lot by creating articles, but I thought I'd mention it, in case you'd be interested in adding the images you upload also to WD. (You add an image to an item by creating a new statement, choosing "image" as the property, and then writing the file name as the value.) -kyykaarme (talk) 19:08, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

@Kyykaarme: Oh that's great, I had no idea about Wikidata, will keep that in mind for the future. Thanks for the tip! DanCherek (talk) 20:19, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

DYK for Thelma Farr Baxter

On 19 April 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Thelma Farr Baxter, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Thanks for the barnstar, Carptrash! Fixing links to Georgia (U.S. state) and Georgia (country) is one of my favorite things to do when I need a break from writing articles.

New page reviewer granted

Hi DanCherek. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:

• Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. _signed, Rosguill 19:57, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Example of when someone living in a town would be a conflict of interest

So I kinda have a conflict of interest with the Misplaced Pages article for my town (not going to link to it for my own privacy) because I love the town and want more people to visit hit. However, if I were to add information to the article for my town I would risk making it seem like a travel guide, telling people places they should visit, instead of giving information on the town itself. Blaze The Wolf | Proud Furry and Misplaced Pages Editor (talk) 13:38, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

@Blaze The Wolf: COI is not simply bias. (That links to the COI guidelines, which also state Beliefs and desires may lead to biased editing, but they do not constitute a COI.) You may be biased with respect to your town, but unless you stand to gain financially or professionally (e.g. if you run a travel agency), that's not really a conflict-of-interest issue. Actual COI problems, including undisclosed paid editing, abound on Misplaced Pages, so it's helpful to draw the line at what is and is not COI. DanCherek (talk) 13:47, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

Ah ok. I thought Conflict of Interest was almost always associated with bias. Good to know. Blaze The Wolf | Proud Furry and Misplaced Pages Editor (talk) 13:49, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for informing me. Blaze The Wolf | Proud Furry and Misplaced Pages Editor (talk) 15:23, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

Sure, no problem. DanCherek (talk) 15:26, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

Untitled message from 174.51.81.148

I know Mr. George Kiraly personally and he has been a notable figure in the homosexual community and has contributed to great achievements to the progress of homosexual rights and awareness in the United States. I believe tht Mr. Kiraly is more than deserving of a spot on the list of notable people with the Kiraly surname — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.51.81.148 (talk) 04:38, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

As with all surname lists, we generally include people only if they meet Misplaced Pages's notability guidelines (i.e., are the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources) and have existing Misplaced Pages articles about them. DanCherek (talk) 04:44, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi am new here Namzy Natasha (talk) 15:14, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

@Namzy Natasha: Welcome to Misplaced Pages! I've put a welcome message on your talk page with some helpful links to get you started. Let me know if you have any questions. I hope you like it here and decide to stick around. DanCherek (talk) 15:24, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

Could you take a look at Discrimination please?

Hello there! I noticed you were active in counter-vandalism, and recent changes review; I've found some edits on Discrimination that do not follow WP:NDP however the offending editor is persistent, and I would rather not get flagged for edit-warring. Thanks! Stickymatch 01:04, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

@Stickymatch: Sorry, was typing a response to this but was a bit slow. Thanks for the message anyway. It looks like recent edits from the IP have been handled by other editors but I'll put the page on my watchlist and try to keep an eye on it. Edits like this are clearly disruptive and reportable to AIV if they continue. DanCherek (talk) 01:09, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

All good, I appreciate your reply in any case. Stickymatch 01:10, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
