A beer for you!

hi there, I am Vincent and I hail from South Africa. I thought of it a nice idea to establish intelectual conversations with people across the world, I hope me and you could share knowledge about everyday events. By the way I'm a 19 year old, Black Male student. As i function (talk) 11:12, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

DYK for American School Hygiene Association

Updated DYK queryOn 3 October 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article American School Hygiene Association, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that in 1907, President Theodore Roosevelt became honorary president of the American School Hygiene Association, a Progressive Era organization dedicated to school children's health? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/American School Hygiene Association.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Speedy deletion tagging

When you're looking at new pages, it's generally recommended that you not tag articles for A7 deletion so quickly. You tagged Game of Nerds only 3 minutes after it was created. Now, I did go ahead and delete the page, as it was clear to me (after a little online research) that no amount of work would make the article pass A7, but it's better to give new articles a few hours in case the article creator is still in the middle of the creation process and is intending to add more info that would be a credible claim of significance or importance. Thanks. Qwyrxian (talk) 06:11, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

I understand what you are saying, especially from a WP:BITE perspective, but at the same time, I think a few hours is too long to wait to tag something, perhaps an hour would okay... if the case is indeterminate. Each page has to be evaluated on a case by case basis, if something looks like it has potential, sure... why not give it time, eh? But if we are talking about some dinky free online flash game, why are we going to waste a lot of time dealing with something like that? It was readily apparent that it wasn't going to pass A7 from the get go. Moogwrench (talk) 06:48, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
What if the "dinky free online flash game" won some sort of award for "Best new online game of 2010?" What if it became so popular that it were talked about in regular newspapers or tech journals? I agreed that in that case, that article wasn't going to pass, but that was only after I went searching around online for other sources. I guess to me, it's that there's really no harm in keeping things up for an hour or two. However, there is a counter argument based on "trying to catch the editor while they're still here"; I've raised a discussion about this (not this specific deletion, but about whether we should codify more specific "rules" about timing) at WT:NPP.

WP:NOTNOW?

Hi,
please have a look at Misplaced Pages:When not to link to WP:NOTNOW -- the WP:NOTNOW essay is intended for very new editors starting an RfA, not for an editor with 4000+ edits over 2.5 years like Ankitbhatt.

New Page Patrol survey

New page patrol – Survey Invitation


Hello Moogwrench! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience.

  • If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it.

Please click HERE to take part.
Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback.
