Proposed deletions

Hello, VersaceSpace,

First, I want to thank you for your contributions to the project! Second, I was looking at upcoming PRODS and Category:Proposed deletion as of 28 June 2022 has over 100 PRODs for the day which is much more than our typical number of 10-40 PRODs/day. I see at least 37 that you tagged and I just wanted to encourage you to please not go on a mass-tagging spree over a short period of time.

Right now, there are typically two admins who patrol Proposed deletions daily and review tagged articles and files to make sure the tagging is appropriate and we both juggle other activities we do on the project. There is no reason you couldn't tag 5-12 articles/day instead of packing them all into one day. I know editors get on a roll with a big project you take on but please remember down the road, some admin will need to check your work and follow through on the taggings so if you could pace yourself with any kind of deletion taggings (CSDs, PRODs, XfDs), well, we would appreciate it. I wish there were more admins who were active in different areas of the project but as it is, we're spread a little thin these days and we all have our specific areas we tend to focus on. Thanks again for all of your work. It's appreciated! Liz 19:15, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

@Liz: thank you. I'll limit the PRODs and instead probably take the matter to the AN where it can be handled (hopefully) more efficiently. --VersaceSpace 🌃 19:24, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

Oh, also, one more thing, VersaceSpace. I'm a HUGE advocate of posting notifications for editors when you tag one of their article creations for deletion, I think almost 50% of my edits are notices to editor talk pages. However, Carlossuarez46 hasn't been active for over a year and, at this point, is unlikely to return. Hundreds of his articles have been tagged for deletion as PRODs and those editors who've undertaken cleaning out some of his lesser contributions either do not post a notice on his talk page or just post a general notice stating they have tagged some of his page creations instead of posting one for each individual article. There definitely doesn't need to be dozens or hundreds of PROD notices on this talk page, it's overwhelming. So, just skip the notices for this editor right now. Thanks. Liz 00:23, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you Liz, I've been leaving the "notify editor" box on twinkle unchecked. --VersaceSpace 🌃 13:51, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Michael C. Stenger for RD

Thank you, VersaceSpace, for nominating Michael C. Stenger for RD, but this has already been nominated. So, I removed your duplicated nomination. Just an FYI. Happy editing. Cheers! --PFHLai (talk) 18:50, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

@PFHLai: what a shame, I thought I checked first...thanks for letting me know. --VersaceSpace 🌃 18:53, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

You're welcome. Better luck next time. Cheers! --PFHLai (talk) 01:12, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

WikiCup 2022 July newsletter

The third round of the 2022 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 180 points, which is a lower figure than last year when 294 points were needed to progress to round 4. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

• BennyOnTheLoose, with 746 points, a tally built both on snooker and other sports topics, and on more general subjects.
• Bloom6132, with 683 points, garnered mostly from "In the news" items and related DYKs.
• Sammi Brie, with 527, from a variety of submissions related to radio and television stations.

Between them contestants achieved 5 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 51 good articles, 149 DYK entries, 68 ITN entries, and 109 good article reviews. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Misplaced Pages policies, regardless of the review process.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article nomination, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

BRUH OMG CONGRATS,,, This is perhaps one of the most notable and iconic songs to come out of the 2020s, in part due to its literal chokehold on certain conservatives... like Ben Sha-P-Word. I'm amazed that you brought an article of a widely covered topic to GA quality - you should be extremely proud! ‍ ‍ elias. 🧣 ‍ ‍
_{📝see my work} 01:17, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

Elias, thank you so much! FA next ;). Never done it before WAP seems like the type of article that should be a featured article. --VersaceSpace 🌃 01:45, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

It does! The article's looking pretty comprehensive on all major aspects of the topic, though I would suggest running it through the Guild of Copyeditors to weed out possible typos and awkward sentences, then through a peer review to prepare it for FAC. One thing that immediately came to mind as I skimmed the article: they're pretty nitpicky/insistent on the sources being "high-quality", so I'd recommend minimising the Twitter/Insta sources wherever possible.

Good luuuuuck with this, I know you can do it! We desperately need more pop music FAs; god bless whoever worked on all the 1989 articles. ‍ ‍ elias. 🧣 ‍ ‍
_{📝see my work} 01:54, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice! The first order of business for me is to trim the weakly sourced content. It won't be easy, but I'm really excited. --VersaceSpace 🌃 01:57, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

@Troubled.elias: On second thought I might skip the GOCE. If there's any prose-related issues I'm sure a peer review will catch that, and I've already requested one of those. --VersaceSpace 🌃 23:59, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

July songs

Thanks for these! - Last Friday, I attended a unique concert - the 18th Thomaskantor after Bach conducting - and with some good luck caught him happy afterwards! Thank you for the bubble tea! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:35, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

That sounds like a really fun outing. Classical music has never been up my alley, but in the moment it must be quite the experience. --VersaceSpace 🌃 21:45, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

thank you, and another great concert 14 July: Voces8, pictured - I have a FAC open, in case of interest --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:39, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

Gerda Arendt, I know nothing about the topic, but I'll look through the article sometime within the next two weeks. Sunday I leave for a week to a place with probably no signal, if not I would do it sooner. —VersaceSpace 🌃 21:51, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

thank you, and no rush - more July songs, from Swiss Alps (where I took only the most important things, not a PC) and a funeral --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:26, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

About your rejection of Draft:Prima- class Cruise ship

As the class is now named and no longer known by the code name I pasted the text from Project Leonardo into the draft so the text has already been approved by someone. History Buff1239ubj (talk) 14:09, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

@History Buff1239ubj: I don't really have to know about all that. After reading your draft, I still had no idea what the subject was, which is why I declined it. After reading an article, I should have at least a basic understanding of the topic, readers need "context". --VersaceSpace 🌃 14:12, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you I just thought that it would be approved as it is text pasted from an existing article. Could you improve it please? History Buff1239ubj (talk) 14:16, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

@History Buff1239ubj: I would love to, but I really do not know anything at all about the topic. I see you tried to link WikiProject Ships on your user page, but the prefix should be WP: and not User:. You should probably ask there, that project is full of people who actually have a thorough and comprehensive understanding of the topic, and would have much more to say. --VersaceSpace 🌃 14:20, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you. I will follow your instructions. History Buff1239ubj (talk) 14:57, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

You're welcome. If you have any general questions about using Misplaced Pages I could help you. Have a good day! --VersaceSpace 🌃 15:02, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

There is one. What was the first Misplaced Pages article History Buff1239ubj (talk) 15:21, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

History Buff1239ubj, I meant questions about editing, but since you asked, according to WP:Misplaced Pages's oldest articles, it would be Nupedia. —VersaceSpace 🌃 15:24, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks History Buff1239ubj (talk) 15:25, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

	Hi VersaceSpace. Firstly, thank you so much for taking the time to review my draft page for Filmore (singer). I've updated per your specs and I hope you're able to take another look! It's fun to learn and get better and better, and I just wanted to say thank you. Best, Nick Ferrelnm (talk) 20:25, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

COVID-19 Pandemic in the Pitcairn Islands Article

Hey @VersaceSpace just wanted to give you a heads up that I went through the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Pitcairn Islands article, fixed it up, and approved it. Dr vulpes 01:13, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

Request on 02:47:01, 12 July 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Mandrakito

• Mandrakito (talk · contribs)
  • Draft:Western Railways of Cuba (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi, I really appreciate your suggestions in order to improve my draft. I am not familiar with the WikiEditor and I'll work hard to make it better. I disagree with your remark "Railways in Cuba?", because, in 1958 Cuba had more railway trackage per square mile than any other country. Yes, there is a Misplaced Pages article covering railways in Cuba under the title: "Ferrocarriles de Cuba", but it is very badly written and plagued with errors and inaccuracies. The purpose of my article was to serve as a complement to the one already published and fill in the gap left by not mentioning the aggressive program of dieselization carried out by "Ferrocarriles Occidentales de Cuba S.A. sincerely, --Mandrakito (talk) 02:47, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

@Mandrakito: I have no strong opinions. You should seek the guidance of a Misplaced Pages user who knows about this kind of thing, but I'm confident that it's adequately covered somewhere in Misplaced Pages. —VersaceSpace 🌃 01:21, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Need to Know GA

Hey friend! Could I please ask to share the Need to Know nom with you because (not to toot my own horn but) I wrote most of the article and kinda made it what it is today haha and so I'd love to help it get that status :) Thanks —cybertrip👽 ( 💬 • 📝) 11:34, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

cybertrip I thought I responded to this yesterday, but apparently not. Yes you may add yourself. —VersaceSpace 🌃 15:16, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

thx bestie! Just realized I fully forgot to write a "Commercial performance" section. Do you maybe wanna start with that? —cybertrip👽 ( 💬 • 📝) 20:27, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

@Cybertrip: The "Need to Know" nom picked up a review! Would you mind tending to some of its concerns? Specifically unsourced statements. —VersaceSpace 🌃 13:27, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Draft:Illusion (Aespa song)

Hi, I'm Hatto. I found on that you have moved the Bridear draft article to mainspace. Would it be possible for you to move Draft:XG (group) to mainspace as well as Bridear article? --Hatto (talk) 14:23, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

@Hatto: It'll be moved soon by an admin (there's already a redirect at XG (group) which needs to be speedily deleted). —VersaceSpace 🌃 15:24, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you very much! In addition, how about Draft:Illusion (Aespa song)? --Hatto (talk) 15:34, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

I nominated the mainspace page for SD. in the future you could just write the article over the redirect if you don't feel like waiting. —VersaceSpace 🌃 15:37, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

I noticed that Draft:Illusion (Aespa song) was moved to Illusion (Aespa song) but then moved back again. What do you mean by "Mistaken page move"? I guess I have no problem moving it to mainspace, although I never understood why it was moved back? --Hatto (talk) 01:16, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Hey, don't you think it should have been closed as Speedy keep instead of Keep? Greetings from this end. Comr Melody Idoghor (talk) 19:43, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

@Idoghor Melody: Hmm...perhaps. But I'm pretty sure in order for SK to apply the nomination needs to clearly meet one of the criteria, so I think snow keeping is safer. Thank you —VersaceSpace 🌃 19:46, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Demi Lovato substance.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Demi Lovato substance.jpeg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Bizarre Bizarre 23:25, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

Nicki Minaj

Hi VersaceSpace, I undid some of your edits on Nicki Minaj because some, especially the lead image and her records in the lead, were decided through RfCs.

Lead image RfC where the 2017 photo was decided to be used (not edited to hell BTW, check the source video)

Records in lead RfC

However, I do agree with some of the other rationale of your edits, such as the Instagram followers being unnecessary fancruft. I would like to point out though, articles like Eminem have his alter egos in "other names" as well. I'll be doing a partial restore to the edits that weren't decided through consensus rogueshanghai 06:54, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Here is a direct screenshot of the source video of Minaj. You can see for yourself if it's edited or not. rogueshanghai 07:32, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Alright. FWIW, I did not specifically claim that a single person edited the image (through Remini or whatever), but it (and the associated video) has likely been touched by whoever edited the promotion. —VersaceSpace 🌃 13:29, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted

Hi VersaceSpace, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed' and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned prolific creators of articles where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Misplaced Pages's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Schwede66 21:59, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you! —VersaceSpace 🌃 22:00, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
