Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Misplaced Pages:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Misplaced Pages:

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Misplaced Pages's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Misplaced Pages page and follow Misplaced Pages's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Misplaced Pages is not a forum.

The Misplaced Pages tutorial is a good place to start learning about Misplaced Pages. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page.

June 2017

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages.

When editing Misplaced Pages, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to June 2017 London attacks does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! - Mr X 00:26, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

Please slow down

Please be careful and use the preview button before saving. This edit of yours broke a citation.- Mr X 00:35, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

respectfully, I'm not making anywhere near as many edits as other users, and I know how to do citations - since I was used to the name being at the front of the citation, I added one where I thought none existed. Not my fault someone put it somewhere else. Kingsif (talk) 00:42, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

I'm not really following you, but a good practice is to look at the references section when previewing your edit. If you see red, then check to make sure you didn't remove the detailed citation for a named reference.- Mr X 01:24, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

File:Welsh Boxer William Hughes in a Spring 2018 fight.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Misplaced Pages non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Misplaced Pages talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:23, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

Nomination of 2017 United Kingdom heat wave for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article 2017 United Kingdom heat wave is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/2017 United Kingdom heat wave until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. — JFG 21:06, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Closing an RfC

You closed this and also participated in it. You are involved. That should have been closed by someone uninvolved. See WP:RFCEND. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:11, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

The other discussion was closed by someone involved in it. Overlapping discussions facilitates the need to close one, if it’s ended and moved to a separate discussion then it’s ended, someone just needs to close it. Kingsif (talk) 01:15, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Two wrongs do not make a right. And it is best to ask someone else to close in that case. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:11, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

I have only just noticed this, you’re right, I should have pinged. Kingsif (talk) 21:51, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

Edit warring over quote

Please do not use all caps in edit summaries. It reads like raising your voice.

Please do not call that editor a vandal. He is not.

Please use BRD. You added that content and it was removed the same day.

You wrote "...Literally everyone else is adding this content..." Please clarify. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:42, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

I was intending to highlight the hypocrisy of the other user, not indicate raising voice, I assumed that would be clear. If it was not, I shall try to find better ways of showing this.

I believe his actions qualify as vandalism. To elaborate: he edits three pages, and on all of these has unanimously removed text that he doesn’t like or disagrees with.

I shall exercise judgment when re-adding material, but I will not hesitate to undo edits that are obviously disruptive.

By “literally everyone else” I was referring to the selection of 4 or 5 users who have contributed to quote lines and quote blocks, the area of dispute. Out of these users, he is the only one deleting content, with the others (including myself) adding and editing it. Kingsif (talk) 21:49, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Caracas drone explosions, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bloomberg (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Another political prisoner died

Modesto Díaz would be the fourth person to die while in prison custody during the presidency of Nicolás Maduro. I'm thinking about creating an article in Spanish, but it would be a while since I start, so I wanted to let you know first. Best wishes! --Jamez42 (talk) 09:28, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Forgot to mention. Not long ago ELN guerrillas killed four National Guardsmen in the Amazonas state after the arrest of a guerrilla leader, with around nine were injured. --Jamez42 (talk) 09:36, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

En serio, ¿cómo puede vivir en un país tan turbulento? And thank you for the news, a page in Spanish for Díaz seems like a good idea. Kingsif (talk) 02:55, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

Filmography of Román Chalbaud moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Filmography of Román Chalbaud, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Misplaced Pages). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Misplaced Pages's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. CASSIOPEIA 08:41, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi Kingsif, Please note lists do requirement independent, reliable sources just like other articles in Misplaced Pages - pls see ]]. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA 08:44, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of December 2018 Venezuela earthquakes

The article December 2018 Venezuela earthquakes has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

File source problem with File:Manuel Trujillo Durán with name.png

Thank you for uploading File:Manuel Trujillo Durán with name.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Misplaced Pages. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

June Whitfield

Hello Kingsif. In your recent edit to June Whitfield, in which you added refs for various entries in the 'Film and television' section, did you not notice that you simultaneously wiped out refs that I had added in several edits previous to yours? PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 00:25, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I deliberately tried not to do that. When the edit conflict came up, I meticulously copied only the text I'd added from the box. I didn't think there'd been any crossover - there shouldn't have been unless you added refs to the same titles I did. In which case, who cares? Kingsif (talk) 00:28, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

@PaleCloudedWhite: and I'll just take it that your passive-agressive wording wasn't assuming bad faith, there? Kingsif (talk) 00:30, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Unfortunately, about 6 entries had their refs wiped off - you can see in the diff. I shall add them back. I was not assuming bad faith, I just couldn't understand what you had done. PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 00:33, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

I guess I started editing before you, but you saved first, and somewhere in copying text I took a bit too much. Kingsif (talk) 00:39, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

I had been adding refs one at a time. I think I'll wait until you've finished, otherwise, if you're still editing chunks of that section, it might happen again. PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 00:45, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

@PaleCloudedWhite: I've finished up adding refs, there's still some that needing doing from about 2000, which I thought would be easy to find for someone else. Kingsif (talk) 01:59, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Webbed foot

Hi, I keep coming across these reviews where you propose a better hook and then approve it. Per Rule H2, you cannot approve your own hook. You can certainly claim the QPQ, but you must turn it over to another reviewer to approve your hook. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:09, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

@Yoninah: Yeah, I've noticed this, too - since the first one you brought up, I haven't approved my own proposed hook. Sorry for that, I had initially interpreted the rule as that you couldn't approve your own nomination, which in retrospect would be a pretty pointless rule.

50.233.42.98

Hi. I noticed the recent activity of 50.233.42.98 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). I thought I should let you know that there's an user called Apollo The Logician that was blocked permanently and ever since they have tried to evade the block. Being a Marxist, since the presidential elections they have taken interest in pushing their point of view in articles related to Venezuela. I don't think there are enough edits to determine this IP edit behaviour, but after seeing its disruptive editing I think they should be looked after. This detection test also shows me that the IP is a proxy. Feel free to make any request if you collect enough evidence from any IP or account. --Jamez42 (talk) 13:47, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Important Notice

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Cursing at me. ∰Bellezzasolo✡ Discuss 20:48, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

I'm just letting you know that I just closed the ANI discussion that you were involved in, as action doesn't seem to be necessary. Just take the advice that I gave to you there; keep civility in mind with all of your edits, discuss disputes properly when they come up, and you'll be fine. You definitely don't want to have that kind of behavior become a habit; else, it'll make "wiki life" harder for you in many aspects and ways. My user talk page is always open to you should you have questions, need input or advice, or if you're feeling frustrated and need someone neutral to step in and help. I'll be happy to assist. :-) Best regards - ~Oshwah~ 01:43, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Thank you, I have taken the time to apologise to the user, and invited them back for discussion. I'll now think of messaging you when anything prompts me to let out frustrations like that again! Advice received and taken, thanks. Kingsif (talk) 01:46, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

@Oswah - hey, I'm getting frustrated and letting it out via sarcasm on the talk page for Juan Guaidó, specifically here - a pair of users who edit once a year have come out of hiding to be rude to me, I'd appreciate another voice? Kingsif (talk) 01:48, 25 January 2019 (UTC) - Friendly talk succeeds! Kingsif (talk) 02:07, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

While you are doing that

You recently reverted my edit on the Venezuela crisis. Yes my edit was in good faith and designed to improve the article - thanks for mentioning that. While you are re-organising the references to substantiate what the article says can you also try to make the article read a lot better? It is like a dog's breakfast at the moment. I suppose this is because a lot is happening quickly and no one is taking ownership of the overall look of the article. Here are a few points that I noticed in the few minutes that that I spent looking at it:

1. There is a lot of repetition which could be removed

2. Why mention what other countries are doing in a sub-section entitled "United States"

3. I would be surprised if you found a source which said that Maduro had asked ALL Americans to leave the country - I think he restricted himself to US diplomats. I think I read somewhere that the US government may have suggested that US citizens would be better of leaving the country for safety reasons. Perhaps this is what was meant.

Anyway have fun with the editing.Burrobert (talk) 15:22, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, yeah it's a bit of a mess. Will try to help clean, but it would need to calm down or have a major edit tag stuck on it! Nice catch with the Americans, will fix (unless you've done it!) Kingsif (talk) 16:05, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Archiving on Juan Guaidó

I noticed you undid my revert of cluebot III automatic archiving on Talk:Juan Guaidó. I moved the threads from the archives as the the automatic archiving was clearly incorrectly configured. SandyGeorgia's edit summary when setting the archiving from 25 days to 30 hours implies that she did not know that the age was measured in hours. None of the threads on the talk page were older than 15 days, so, if the archive was correctly configured, none would have been archived until February. Furthermore, one of the archived threads was an open edit request, which needs to be responded to. I have moved the threads back to the talk page in the meantime. Danski454 (talk) 20:04, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Many of them were disruptive or trolls and should have ideally been archived to allow for productive discussion - I believe the open edit request is also one of those. By moving them back, remember, you reset the clock, so they'll now be some of the last to be archived! If you could re-revert to the archive, that would be great. Kingsif (talk) 20:09, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

You are correct that I read incorrectly the parameters on the autoarchiving, but the threads archived are old and of little use, the talk page is cluttered, and my misunderstanding of the parameter is not a reason to unarchive the gibberish that has overtaken the talk page. An open edit request could be reinstated if it has not been responded to, but I do not agree with reversing the entire archival, which was necessary. Please revert yourself, and seek consensus on talk. It is not helpful for a very active talk page to have multiple sections on the same thing or already addressed edit requests. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:11, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

I have re-archived everything except the open edit request and the Humor in the midst of it all section (the two most recently opened threads) Danski454 (talk) 20:20, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks-- that is most helpful and appreciated! I am taking a break for now. I got all the External link sources at least worked in to the article, but the flow/chronology need work. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:45, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

What you call "heavily name-dropping sources" on wikipedida is referred to as WP:ATTRIBUTION, see also WP:QUOTE. All direct quotes should be attributed. I'm typically not very good at doing that, but I try. I also choose generally to use quotes from notable people.

Also, I try to keep articles I edit and watch up to standard vis-a-vis policy and guideline. You used no edit summary on this edit, but the text contains old accessdates, suggesting that you may have taken the text from other articles. Whenever you are copying text from one article to another, you should include that information, and a link to the article you copied from, in the edit summary.

Thanks for attempting better section headings on the media quotes ... I struggled with that for a long time, and for NPOV, also spent hours scouring the internet trying to find something negative on the dude. There's not much! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:55, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

1. are we not allowed humorous edit reasons? I clearly wasn't criticizing, there's no good reason to pick up on that. In fact, if you read the full edit reason it would be evident that it was being used in context to say "I understand why this was put under this heading, i.e. has a lot of media names in it, but it's not exactly correct". Honestly. 2. from the eswiki article on Guaidó, a parallel update that doesn't require attribution since the pages are already linked.

I think you can tell I'm not unfamiliar with Misplaced Pages, so why say such? Kingsif (talk) 20:35, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Actually, I expected you might appreciate the tips. It's generally not good practice to edit other people's comments,. And I'm glad to hear your intent was humorous! Thanks again for the section headings. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:53, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

In my experience, auto-archiving doesn't work on articles with a very high level of activity. If archiving faster than 7 days is necessary, it's best to do it manually with OneClickArchiver. power~enwiki (π, ν) 18:50, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Agree ... and thanks for the aggressive archiving! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:54, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

I hate wikipedia naming policy on this score ... writing Venezuelan articles is made so much harder by the time it takes to look up article names. Anyway, thanks for catching that. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:28, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

No problem, I don't think I'd have noticed it myself if not for having linked the article a lot recently! Kingsif (talk) 19:33, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

I have been housebound for days with a cold, so do not mind getting them started-- will do. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:16, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Aw, man - get well soon! Kingsif (talk) 22:20, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Almost better now, but it was a killer. By the way, at first, I was disappointed in how much better the es.wiki articles are than ours on these bios. But on closer examination, I have found they are full of errors-- small and large. So I am not trying to translate from them, but I do look at their sources for starting points. Will get on those two later today. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:23, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Glad it's better! I think the main issue with es wiki is that there are fewer editors, and only a handful of dedicated ones. The active ones are usually absolutely stellar at taking on as much as they can - but if it is a bit too much for the en wiki editors, imagine the overload over there. I sometimes feel I should contribute more to it. Kingsif (talk) 22:36, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Photo

Kingsif, could you look at this response to my ping at Elcobbola's talk on commons? During the years I was the Featured Articles delegate, Elcobbola was the number one image reviewer, and I respect his opinions on images to the utmost. I managed to never have to dig in to any commons/image stuff, because I had so many excellent people on it at FAC, so I never really learned it thoroughly (actually, image stuff scares the crap out of me, because I don't want to violate copyright!) Notice his reasoning. I questioned my own lawyer about whether the word "entity" might typically be used to describe a person; he said never. So it is beginning to look like that image is gonna have to go. It seems like someone should be able to write to someone and just get a better image. Maybe me if I find time! Or @ZiaLater: or @Jamez42:. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:37, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Read, sure. There are other pictures of Guaidó, that one was just ideal because of the quality. We could use some of the others on commons. Kingsif (talk) 14:59, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

I Hate Image issues :) Just keeping you in the loop. I will be out again most of the day ... SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:04, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

By the way: have a look at the images here: Maduro is facing to the left so he should have been placed on the other side of Guaido, so that he is facing the entire article instead of having his back to Guiado ... just in case we end up with another combined photo, that's a Manual of Style thingie.

File:Venezuela Aid Live 2019 Logo.png

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Misplaced Pages non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Misplaced Pages talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

File:El Caracazo 2005 poster.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Misplaced Pages non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Misplaced Pages talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Your GA nomination of Un célebre especialista sacando muelas en el gran Hotel Europa

The article Un célebre especialista sacando muelas en el gran Hotel Europa you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Un célebre especialista sacando muelas en el gran Hotel Europa for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

... ever so much for getting right on that.

Alan García article

Troika

Don't want to cause an edit conflict while you have the article in use, but I see errors I left:

I left off a citation in the Venezuela section-- that is the VOX article (ref name= VOXTroika)
The final quote in the Reception section is goofed up (The Atlantic stated that the April 2019 speech was "not exactly a subtle".)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ortega y Gasset Awards, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page 5W (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Student politics in Venezuela

Hello! I couldn't help but notice that you started a draft about student politics in Venezuela. If I may, I wanted to refer to you the Movimiento estudiantil article in Spanish, as well as historic movement such as the Generation of 1928 and its respective Spanish version. Let me know if I can help anyhow. Best wishes! --Jamez42 (talk) 00:03, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

RS vs "in the news"

Figured I'd respond on your talk page instead of dragging out the discussion at ITN/C. Not trying to be condescending, just trying to make my point, which was: There was no doubt that the story is being covered by WP:RS, but that is not the same as a story being "in the news". I look to the big aggregators Google and Bing, and the main pages of various sources to see if a story is featured. This one wasn't. --LaserLegs (talk) 14:17, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

DYK for Don't I Know You?

On 4 June 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Don't I Know You?, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Killing Eve episode "Don't I Know You?" was generally praised for including diverse LGBT+ characters, but also criticised for how one was killed?

Orphaned non-free image File:Killing Eve Sorry Baby S2 poster.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Killing Eve Sorry Baby S2 poster.jpg. 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).

Images

Before I forget, let me know if you need any images about Venezuela, I think I could have some on my files. Best regards! --Jamez42 (talk) 12:33, 25 June 2019 (UTC) Jamez42 Images are always welcome! I don't think there's anything in particular at the moment that needs illustrating, but when I think of things, I'll ask. Thank you for the offer :) Kingsif (talk) 14:20, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

@Jamez42: oh, you don't have any pictures of Rocío San Miguel do you? I think it's a more obscure object so likely not, but Wikimedia doesn't have any at the moment. Kingsif (talk) 14:36, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Always a pleasure! I think I have some of Alfredo Romero, but not Rocío :( Zia and I can look for images with Creative Commons license, though. --Jamez42 (talk) 14:47, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Athletics is something I haven't really looked at (in truth, I am surprised and impressed by the Vinotinto in the Copa América at the moment). If you and Zia are looking, I will also look - I can't ask you to do all the work! Kingsif (talk) 14:53, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Sorry! I linked the wrong article; I meant the director of Foro Penal (es:Alfredo Romero, I thought he had an article in English. I'm not much into sports, to be honest. I remembered about the images since it would be good to find an image of Manuel Figuera, if you happen to find one it would be excellent :) --Jamez42 (talk) 16:00, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Haha, that makes more sense! I will search for images of Figuera - it was surprisingly easy to find some for San Miguel, though the IDH uploaded some free videos, that helps! Kingsif (talk) 16:02, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

@Jamez42: - I've found one, uploaded at Commons here Kingsif (talk) 17:48, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

WP:CEN is now open!

To all interested parties: Now that it has a proper shortcut, the current events noticeboard has now officially opened for discussion!

WP:CEN came about as an idea I explored through a request for comment that closed last March. Recent research has re-opened the debate on Misplaced Pages's role in a changing faster-paced internet. Questions of WP:NOTNEWS and WP:Recentism are still floating around. That being said, there are still plenty of articles to write and hopefully this noticeboard can positively contribute to that critical process.

Thank you for your participation in the RFC, and I hope to see you at WP:CEN soon! –MJL ‐Talk‐ 19:05, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted

Hi Kingsif. 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 encylopedia. 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. ~Swarm~ 03:56, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

Welcome to New Page Patrol!

Welcome, Kingsif to the New Page Patrol team.

Congratulations on receiving the New Page Patrol user permission and on becoming a part of the patroller community. Our mission is to accurately, rather than quickly, handle the new articles which are created. As you begin to patrol it's natural to have lots of questions. Feel free to ask on my talk page or ask for thoughts in the New Page Patroller IRC channel #wikimedia-npp or on our Discord server (invite link). We also regularly discuss issues and topics surrounding New Page Patrolling at the NPP discussion page and I would invite you to join us there. I hope you find NPP as rewarding as I do and, again, welcome to the community. ___CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 06:39, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019

Hello Kingsif/Archives,

WMF at work on NPP Improvements

More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.

QUALITY of REVIEWING

Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.

Backlog

The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.

Move to draft

NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.

Notifying users

Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Misplaced Pages. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.

PERM

Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.

Other news

School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.

Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

Edgar J. Anzola moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Edgar J. Anzola, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Misplaced Pages). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Misplaced Pages's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

DYK for Assignment: Venezuela

On 6 August 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Assignment: Venezuela, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Creole Petroleum Corporation's 1956 propaganda film Assignment: Venezuela sought to convince American oil workers that the anti-capitalist military dictatorship had embraced the American way of life? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Assignment: Venezuela. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Assignment: Venezuela), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Aura Rivas

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Aura Rivas requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.venevision.com/estrella/aura-rivas. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Misplaced Pages takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Misplaced Pages to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Misplaced Pages's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

@Sphilbrick: It was a copy of the Spanish wikipedia page es:Aura Rivas, actually, and I checked, wasn't a (complete) direct translation anyway. Oops? Kingsif (talk) 13:36, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

Kingsif, Well it wasn't properly identified, which doesn't mean that it deserves deletion for a technical violation, but I confess I'm confused. It is started for a Spanish article, it's still in Spanish so what sort of translation occurred? . We don't host Spanish articles in EN WP, so what's the goal? If it exists in ES WP, then what is the value of this article? S Philbrick (Talk) 14:20, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

@Sphilbrick: It was in draftspace so I could translate it into English when I had more time and easily move it into mainspace. I meant "direct copy" where I wrote 'direct translation', as I copyvio check most things. Kingsif (talk) 14:24, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

Mohammad Rafiq in connection to Bærum mosque shooting

Hi,

I contested the speedy deletion of Muhammad Rafiq (retired army). What is the main concern here? Multiple sources coverage are not enough to recognize the credibility? The deeds by the person are also commented as heroic in almost all media outlet that covered the story due to the nature of what happened, so it is challenging to be competently 'neutral' in such a piece of writing. Any suggestion is appreciated. Sattar91 (talk) 13:03, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

@Sattar91: Thanks for coming to ask! I think a lot of the issues come from the level of translation/quality of writing: it's not up to WP standard, which can easily obscure meaning, or mean that you've used more powerful language than you originally intended. I could rewrite it into good English and try to improve on it, but I don't feel the biography meets WP notability anyway. Kingsif (talk) 13:59, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Muhammad Rafiq (retired army)

Hello Kingsif. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Muhammad Rafiq (retired army), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: quite possibly WP:BLP1E but also clearly covered extensively in reliable sources, so take it to WP:AFD instead. Thank you. So Why 13:06, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Un célebre especialista

Hello:

I am in the middle of copy editing this as you requested at the GOCE. Would you like to wait until I am finished the copy edit or would you like me to stop?

Twofingered Typist (talk) 20:13, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

@Twofingered Typist: Oh, I didn't know you were. I know you're at GOCE, but I saw no template on the page or message on talk page saying you were going to give it a copyedit. I thought you were passing and saw something you wanted to fix. So each time there's been another edit, I've been surprised... and then gone to correct small mistakes generally about facts that you've obscured. Maybe you can ce without changing facts and stuff? Kingsif (talk) 20:22, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

There is a note on the GOCE Requests page I am working on it. Restoring the spacing of the notes is incorrect, they are not spaced like that. If you say "two otherfilms" you can use "the first" and "the second" - implies it was shown last. The word "directorship" has nothing to do with filmmaking - hence the change.

Ah, yeah I don't watch that, and I know there's long backlogs so, unexpected. Kingsif (talk) 21:51, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

"ariously suggesting different likelihoods" - this is awkward English. Nothing wrong with my suggested edit.

Your last corrections "(don't think Trujillo hired a guy after he was dead, and he's not the only one; made stops around Venezuela before Colombia; "not only... also" set phrasing, and change 'for' to 'as' (for implies truth, as allows for mere appearance) because we know it isn't true even though they published it)" are just wrong. Do you mind me asking if English is your first langauge? Your corrections are making the article worse. Perhaps this is an article another editor should work on since you don't appear to accept any of my edits. Twofingered Typist (talk) 20:45, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

@Twofingered Typist: Since I was born in England, literally have an English degree (and grad cert), and teach people the language, I do mind a little, yes. Do you really think I'd be so ballsy at corrections otherwise? But I don't hold the ask against you, because that's in England, which may be why you think it's awkward, and likely why I think yours is bad - I got the grad cert in the US, and me and professors went over differences a lot. Like, I thought American was different but comprehensible, not realising there are so many places where there are opposing wrongs and rights. And, no, please continue: you are improving it and I have seen and appreciated your work before, a lot of the rephrasings I know are better, I just wouldn't have come up with myself because they're generally constructed differently to how I normally write and think (sucks that WP only likes American style); FYI I'd written out that last set of edits before I read your message, but hit submit afterwards because of a rl discussion.

(My view on the edits you mention: removing the spacing shoved all the text together, making it hard to understand since there are two languages used. In peer review, the spacing was complimented as easing readability. With the two films, it is talking about the two French ones, but there were four overall - the 'first' French film was shown first, the 'other' French one was shown fourth, not second, which is what your edit implied. Direction implies, like, artistic direction, which obviously isn't what the section is about - other words welcome. About 'likelikhood' edit: you put "likelihood or not", which is wrong, I'm pretty sure on this one no matter location, because there's always a likelihood - something can be "likely or not", but you can't qualify likelihood because it's a noun, not an adverb - "likelihood or unlikelihood" would be correct)

Perhaps we can discuss more the changes so you can assure me what I think is a mistake isn't actually wrong - this might aid my own editing, too! Kingsif (talk) 21:00, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

My apologies for asking if English is your first language, it's just that some of the phrasing is not any version of English - British, American, Indian or Canadian - in my opinion. I will go back through the article again and leave detailed notes for each correction. You can then do with the as you will. As the article stands now, it would not pas FAC. Twofingered Typist (talk) 22:07, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

What do I say to that? Glad you weren't my thesis examiner? (haha!) Maybe formal British English could be something you're unfamiliar with, then? Though I personally also have the annoying habit of using the passive voice for everything, it's how I think and thus write. Haha, I know it would not, don't worry about that. Any improvements - (as said, apologies for before, genuinely thought it was a drive-by and as primary author I should try maintain it) - would be super appreciated, thanks. Kingsif (talk) 22:13, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Perla Farías

Un célebre especialista...

Hello:

I've now completed the c/e of Un célebre especialista.... I have a couple of observations if I may. Despite the fact a GA reviewer liked how the Notes were set up, I doubt this will fly at an FA review. I suggest you format them as I did and if you are concerned about readability put "Review text" and "English" in bold type.

I have reinstated "Director" instead of "Directorship". I checked many online dictionaries and can find no use of "directorship" except as it relates to the running of a corporation. Perhaps a better heading would be "Production"?

In the "Modern Critical Views" section you quote Farrell suggesting the film led to many more being produced. Then this sentence: "However, Michael Chanan suggests that Venezuela was typical of Latin American nations, many of which did not follow early films with continued production." This apparently contradicts Farrell. Does Chanan mean films for entertainment rather than propaganda? Then this sentence- "Chanan also uses a case study to show that some early documentaries were missing for many decades, which suggests there may be a rich trove of hidden historical films."-where he is contradicting himself. I think adding "of films for entertainment" to the "Chanan suggests" sentence might make this clearer.

Best of luck going forward with the FAR.

Storming open doors

Hi, I posted some arguments for RM/BMS article merger on the RM TP, not being aware, until now, of the Deletion Discussion Page, fool that I am. I see most of my arguments covered in that discussion, but I'll leave the post on the TP for now. Just thought I'd save you the trouble of taking on my further education ... Have a nice day.

Thanks for the message :) Kingsif (talk) 20:25, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi, re my BOLD edit on VQ: my edit is probably more in line with the facts than other versions offered. You'll find his story in the WIKI article, of course; and that should have plenty of sources. However, the point itself is minor, so no worries. All the best. T 85.166.160.249 (talk) 11:09, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Aaand - only seconds later - the fool is back ... There's actually a separate article on the word "quisling" used derogatively (en.wikipedia.org/Quisling), giving this tale of origin: "... who headed a domestic Nazi collaborationist regime during World War II". I find that precise, succinct, NPOV, and avoiding all the slightly agitprop terms of my BOLD. Work already done for editors, what's not to like. I'll leave it at that. Even more of the best. T 85.166.160.249 (talk) 11:15, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Hey T, no keep coming, your input is valued! I don't know that corner of Nazi history, I only think that "puppet" needs a source, as much as it's likely the best term. Any version that you deem accurate and not using controversial terminology should be good. Kingsif (talk) 12:54, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for those kind words, sir (or ... "zir", just in case, these days). I shall then proceed to speak of VQ in Wikipedias voice. Be warned, I'll also move the word "online" to the beginning of the sentence, to make it state that the BMS Baddie did things online, and not that VQ collaborated with the Nazis online. Nuances, nuances. I hope this meets with approval; in any case, pls check. Best of the best to you. T 85.166.160.249 (talk) 21:22, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Thank you, T. Haha, BMS Baddie. I like it. Kingsif (talk) 21:23, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

I know he's technically innocent until proven guilty in a court of law ... all the same, I don't like to help them having their name mentioned. My little share, fwiw. Best wishes (and I have some pretty good ones) to you. Ciao. T 85.166.160.249 (talk) 21:43, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Thank you, it's been nice talking. I hope we edit together again :) Kingsif (talk) 23:06, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

A guy for hours

Did you bleep the Mayor of Philadelphia to make him suggest people with time to kill are harmless, relative to infinite ammo codes? InedibleHulk (talk) 13:53, August 16, 2019 (UTC)

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking, but I think it's if I wrote the info about him to suggest people are harmless but guns/ammo are not? Sorry if that's a misinterpretation. To answer that: I added his quote as it appeared in the source, where he said that police shouldn't have to face people shooting at them with infinite guns and bullets. I also made a comment on the talk page about how the incident could influence national dialogues on gun control, which may be related to the mayor's statement. I didn't mean - and I wouldn't think the mayor did, for that matter - to say that the shooter was "harmless". Kingsif (talk) 14:01, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

@InedibleHulk: ah, I now looked at the edit history and see what you mean. I guess I felt the important part of the statement was the rhetoric about weapons, since "a guy" is quite general (not saying, e.g. "someone with the intent to kill") and "for hours" is implied by the "infinite" part. But I acknowledge there is value in including the whole statement, sorry to seem like I was trying to make a different narrative of the quote, I definitely wasn't - I know the discussion is too sensitive to be manipulating it. Sorry for not just including the whole quote first time to avoid that perception and potentially misleading readers. Kingsif (talk) 14:12, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Best to leave quote butchery to news editors, kind of verges on OR otherwise, even misrepresentation of living people and what they decide is important enough in their own responses. Apology accepted, no hard feelings! Finite things like one guy or eight hours are the opposite of infinity, though (just saying). InedibleHulk (talk) 14:22, August 16, 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, I guess so. Kingsif (talk) 14:27, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Film awards

Hi. Please see Misplaced Pages:Manual_of_Style/Film#Accolades - the award/festival must have its own article to demonstrate notability. Thanks. Lugnuts 17:21, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

@Lugnuts: I have seen that, thanks. (and I thought ELCO had an article but I couldn't find it.) But if we can IAR for reasoning, I just think that being as big and important as other festivals there are pages for, and based in the nation the film is from, should warrant inclusion - there are very few Venezuelan film-related articles, and I'm part of a WP taskforce to expand that. But other users removing names and redlinks for articles that would be useful doesn't help. The awards are quite notable and add good context about the growth of filmmaking in Venezuela.

Maybe I'll look harder for the ELCO article or start translating the pages from es.wiki, but I'd rather you didn't remove anything more. I have seen big US films articles with accolade sections that list plenty tiny article-less festivals in amongst their Cannes and BAFTAs, so removing half the list on a small Venezuelan film seems unnecessary. Kingsif (talk) 17:51, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi. The text at MOSFILM is clear - "Awards included in lists should have a Misplaced Pages article to demonstrate notability." This has been debated at length. If you disagree, or think it needs changing, then please start a discussion at WT:FILM. This is a WP:CONSENSUS, so please do not edit war against it. Thanks. Lugnuts 17:54, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

@Lugnuts: Dude, none of your comments have been in anything like a friendly tone, which makes it really hard for people to listen to you. If you'd casually put in your first edit comment "I get it, but a consensus for style really wants an article", folk are going to be more receptive. And hey, I'm saying that your rule is not very well enforced, and is discriminatory against non-US or European films. In some cases, it improves WP to ignore it. Changing it, since I, you know, read it before you came and told me to, I don't think would be smart because people would claim that a tiny fest they started was notable and then try to base notability for their non-notable passion films on that. But when the awards are clearly notable, and just don't have an article because they're in an obscure country, the line blurs. Kingsif (talk) 18:00, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Please don't call me "dude". Notability is black-and-white. If these awards are so notable, then create the article for them. Lugnuts 18:03, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

@Lugnuts: Just trying to be friendly, things get done so much more smoothly. It's in the plan, but apparently not something I've had the time to do just yet, and I now feel if I did make them you'd think it out of spite. And, again, trying to be friendly. Kingsif (talk) 18:13, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

It's clear you don't like the MOS and consensus. Please stop trying to shoe-horn in non-notable awards into articles. As I said, address your concerns at the Film Project. Thanks. Lugnuts 18:31, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

@Lugnuts: No, I don't have anything against an MOS and I respect consensus, especially after long, tough, discussions. I'm not trying to shoehorn and I don't like that assertion; I made a very good compromise, with the festivals not even named and the short statement that it won other things reliably sourced to news - sure, we don't include everything, but a mention of a fact from an RS doesn't seem unreasonable. If you don't want to be friendly, you don't have to try - the sentence I added is not against the MOS, and we both know it. It's over, okay. Kingsif (talk) 18:41, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Stop pinging me. Lugnuts 18:42, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Okay :) FWIW, lots of respect. Kingsif (talk) 18:46, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

New Page Review newsletter September-October 2019

Hello Kingsif/Archives,

Backlog

Instead of reaching a magic 300 as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.

Coordinator

A proposal is taking place here to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.

This month's refresher course

Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, a 2008 essay by long since retired Ballonman, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.

Deletion tags

Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.

Paid editing

Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Blank-and-Redirect is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.

Not English

A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.

Tools

Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.

Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See User:SD0001/StubSorter.js, It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.

Assessment: The script at User:Evad37/rater makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

Hi greetings, extremely sorry for the mistake. It was a technical mistake due to the interpretation of possible issues in curation tool.

GAN and the bot

Kingsif, thanks for all the GA reviewing you've been doing.

I noticed you had a query recently about the bot not putting a GA icon on the article you'd recently passed. Legobot, the bot that handles GAN processing at the moment, is a long-standing and not-well-supported bot with a number of idiosyncracies. There's hope that we'll get a new bot someday, but for now, here's how the bot works and why this particular issue is occurring.

Legobot expects that it will have done certain steps along the way. When a reviewer first creates the review page, Legobot, which runs every 20 minutes, notices that a new review page has been created, and as part of its tasks, goes to the article talk page, inserts "onreview" into the GA nominee template's status parameter, and transcludes the new review page at the bottom of the talk page. If someone else gets there first and inserts "onreview" or "onhold" prior to the bot putting in "onreview" itself, the bot thinks there's a problem. Or, at least, it doesn't add the review transclusion, because the status field is filled, so its work must have been done already. So when it comes time for later changes, in particular the end of the review where the GA nominee template is replaced by the GA or FailedGA template (indicating the review passed or failed), it doesn't recognize the review as passing or failing because everything it expects isn't in place; instead, it treats it as a "Miscellaneous" action (according to Legobot's edit summary) and simply removes the entry from the GAN page, so there is no message to the nominator of passing or failing nor (if passing) adding an icon to the article.

The key thing, going forward, is to not add "onreview" yourself to the GA nominee template—it should never be necessary when opening a review. Ideally, if your initial review goes straight to a hold, you wait to add the "onhold" (no space) until the bot has had a chance to add "onreview" first, but it can be inconvenient to wait around for that. Perhaps doing an initial save of a near-empty review page to create it, and then writing the review and saving again, will allow enough time for the bot to do its initial work.

Should we ever get a new bot, this may not be an issue, but for now the bot has its expectations, and it helps to follow the process it expects. Another example: the top section of the review page should not be specially modified during creation or afterward, since the bot parses it for reviewer information that it then puts in the GAN-page entry. Bots are great time-savers, but they're essentially limited in what they can deal with.

Sorry this wasn't better news, but at least now you'll know. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to try to answer them. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:22, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for the explanation - I've seen it miss other pages before but could never figure out why! Kingsif (talk) 19:13, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

2019 Grays incident - Taoiseach and Dáil Éireann

Hi, in the paragraph quoting Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, the phrase "the Dáil Éireann" sounds odd because in Ireland we usually refer to it in English as "the Dáil" or "Dáil Éireann" but it would be unusual to say "the Dáil Éireann". The upper house is usually referred to as "the Seanad" or "an Seanad". ("An" being the appropriate definite article in Irish.) Together the two houses are known as "Tithe an Oireachtais" (roughly: houses of the assembly of free men) or "the Oireachtas" (even though technically the latter includes the President also). . Autarch (talk) 22:04, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Wasn't exactly kidding

If read literally, there was nothing funny about the "gallows humour" at Grays. The transport trailer really is the star this time, not the cab. As long as you appreciate this on that factual level, I suppose deleting the film-like undertones doesn't hurt anyone. I can't figure out a thumbs up, either, but I think I can make a camel. 🐫? InedibleHulk (talk) 21:14, October 24, 2019 (UTC)

Ooh, I like the camel. Yeah, we have to look at from the view of people who'd come across it and just see tastelessness. Kingsif (talk) 09:59, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

So many people, so many views. I tried considering the feelings of people who think life is some precious gift you only get once and should cling desperately to at all costs for as long as humanly possible. Figured they were the majority, and seeing the phrase "right-to-die advocate" might stir up feelings of how it's right to die. So I went with "cripple suicide". I know "cripple" went out of style alongside lame, dumb and retarded, but what the hell was I supposed to say? "Disabled suicide"? Makes no sense because it was also "assisted suicide". Paradoxical, no? Looking back, "differently-enabled suicide" might have worked on both levels, but then there's this third level of thinker who'd think I was trying to be "cute" or "clever" at the expense of a recently fallen Olympic champion who won her gold medal with a broken freakin' neck!

So many levels, so much polite intent, and for what? Buddy missed the point of my "there, there" entirely. He thought I was saying he was no better than one of those strict Catholic cryptkeepers who don't take kindly to shoveling dirt atop no quittin' folk. Or one of those Italians who still blame Germany, or one of those Germans who still blame Italy. I gave him seven types of bigots who might share his perceived discomfort to show him he'll never suffer his slight indignity alone, and he mistook them each for seven types I think he equals. All because of damned online empathy.

He's an admin, too, so that's just another level of shit I was in no way prepared to foresee. Things like this just didn't used to happen when I was an actual dick. Getting old and kindly is weird, K-Dog. Do you mind if I call you K-Dog? Whatever. All I know is you like your camel and I like my 🐑. Let's see someone try to get that fact of life twisted!

New Page Review newsletter November 2019

Hello Kingsif/Archives,

This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.

Getting the queue to 0

There are now 821 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If each reviewer soon does only 2 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by every reviewer doing only 1 review every 2 days - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Want to join? Consider adding the NPP Pledge userbox.
Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some really cool awards.

Coordinator

Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.

This month's refresher course

Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Misplaced Pages article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Misplaced Pages or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.

Tools

It is now possible to select new pages by date range. This was requested by reviewers who want to patrol from the middle of the list.
It is now also possible for accredited reviewers to put any article back into the New Pages Feed for re-review. The link is under 'Tools' in the side bar.

Reviewer Feedback

Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.

Second set of eyes

Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work, especially while some routine tagging for deletion can still be carried out by non NPR holders and inexperienced users. Read about it at the Monitoring the system section in the tutorial. If you come across such editors doing good work, don't hesitate to encourage them to apply for NPR.
Do be sure to have our talk page on your watchlist. There are often items that require reviewers' special attention, such as to watch out for pages by known socks or disruptive editors, technical issues and new developments, and of course to provide advice for other reviewers.

Arbitration Committee

The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.

Community Wish list

There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

DYK nomination of Venezuelan cinema in the 1890s

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Casa-de-las-Flores-cast.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Casa-de-las-Flores-cast.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Misplaced Pages may not meet the criteria required by Misplaced Pages:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Misplaced Pages:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

add image for 7 November Bolivian protests

Hello, I am Hanafi455. thank you for editing the article about 7 November bolivian protest which states about protesters attack patrica ace and Vinto's town hall that was burned down. But can you upload the image about the information? If you can, you can upload it to the article. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hanafi455 (talk • contribs) 13:29, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

@Hanafi455: Could you try this again, I don't understand what you're trying to say? Kingsif (talk) 13:48, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

@Kingsif: Can you upload the image about a sentence 'Bolivia mayor has hair forcibly cut by crowd of protesters'. it is very interesting to add the image to wiki article. i have the link from BBC news. Hanafi455 (talk) 14:05, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

@Hanafi455: Ah, got it. Unfortunately, we can't add just any image. There aren't free ones at the BBC article, as much as images are interesting. I'm pretty good at finding free images, but this is quite a specific moment so I'm not sure they exist. Only in certain circumstances can non-free images be uploaded, and since this article has plenty free images already, this wouldn't be one. Kingsif (talk) 14:23, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Using edit summaries to summarize edits

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages.

When editing Misplaced Pages, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

@El C: got a reason for leaving this here? Kingsif (talk) 17:41, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

This was the reason. El_C 17:42, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

@El C: Is that a contentious edit? Nobody leaves reasons for every edit, and I like to think I do it more than the average, but I don't see any reason to WP:TEMPLAR me for one non-contentious no-reason edit among a list of hundreds on the same article. Kingsif (talk) 17:45, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

I have no idea if it is contentious, but Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make. El_C 17:47, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

I'll try to remember if you don't template me for every no-reason edit. There'd be a backlog. Kingsif (talk) 17:52, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Okay, but you are still doing it. Why not set it up so that you are reminded automatically? El_C 17:58, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Because, honestly, I will click dismiss anyway and the reminder would annoy me. A little pain when editing that I would not like at all. It's an honest answer, if not what you're after. And I can't believe you approach every editor who doesn't leave a reason for every edit, since it's got to be in the region of 100%, so I feel this is a pointless mission. Kingsif (talk) 18:03, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

I don't. I saw you making substantive edits without an edit summary attached and I thought I would bring the matter to your attention. It's just respectful of other editors to try to always include an edit summary and I'm surprised you're even arguing against it or continuing to ignore this advise immediately after being reminded of this issue. Oh well. El_C 18:07, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Well, I guess thank you - I don't like being templated but I can see when it's a polite suggestion. I'm pushing against because I know of no editor who always uses edit reasons, and I find pop-up edit reminders annoying, so I'm trying to explain why suggesting this to anyone is effectively not worth it. Kingsif (talk) 18:09, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Well, I, for one, use edit summaries in virtually every edit I submit, but that's besides the point. I used the template (which as far as warning templates go is pretty tame) because it has the auto-reminder instruction in it, an option which I thought might be helpful to you. At any case, I think we have exhausted the usefulness of this conversation. Thanks for taking the time. El_C 18:16, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

I do appreciate it, having civil discussions about WP functions. Thanks, too. Kingsif (talk) 18:18, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Neutro Shorty stampede

DYK for Venezuelan cinema in the 1890s

On 13 November 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Venezuelan cinema in the 1890s, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that subjects of Venezuelan films of the 1890s include a dentist pulling teeth in a hotel and a man getting into a brawl with a stagecoach driver? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Venezuelan cinema in the 1890s. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Venezuelan cinema in the 1890s), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.

Hillel Day School - may not meet Misplaced Pages's notability guideline for geographic features?

Hello Kingsif.

Can you please clarify what you mean by adding maintenance tag {{notability|1=Places|date=November 2019}} in that school article? WP:NGEO isn't applicable to schools.

Now on notability of Hillel Day School. WP:NSCHOOL says schools must satisfy either WP:ORG or WP:GNG, or both. I invite you to check the sources supporting school's notability: Hillel Day School#References.

Thank you, Yymmff (talk) 03:06, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

@Yymmff: Because there isn't a tag for 'school', so I went with 'place'. Apparently that manifested as 'geographic feature'. Please note that having sources doesn't necessarily make something notable. I just reviewed the page, I don't have any investment into doing any research.

Speedy deletion nomination of Calvin Brown

Hello Jonathunder,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Calvin Brown for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Kingsif (talk) 15:19, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

Please check the page history before any deletion. For a decade, it was a redirect to Calvin L. Brown, which is not promotional. Jonathunder (talk) 21:05, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

It was a different page about a different person, which has since been deleted and the old Calvin L Brown article now moved to Calvin Brown, it seems. Kingsif (talk) 21:14, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

@Jonathunder: for future reference, please respond on the original talkpage, rather than copy-pasting the entire message to someone else's. Kingsif (talk) 21:15, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

I put it here so you would see it. As you may have noticed, I'm not new here. Jonathunder (talk) 21:23, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

Haha, I did after I left that message (and I cannot control deletion templates automatically sending templates); I hope the understanding is clear - the page I reviewed as promotional was deleted almost immediately, and the redirect re-created. Kingsif (talk) 21:31, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

Yes, but you are still entirely missing the point. Calvin Brown had always been a redirect to Calvin L. Brown since I created both of them ten years ago. This month another newbie made one of them into a promotional page and you promptly marked it for speedy deletion without looking at the history. I have undone all that, so no harm done, but going forward, please just look at the history before deleting things. Jonathunder (talk) 21:40, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

Well, I can work on that. Kingsif (talk) 22:38, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

Latin American Spring

Hey Kingsif. I think we have encountered a similar problem as the one we had with the Venezuelan refugee crisis article. With the Latin American Spring, it occurred in two waves according to sources, just like how the refugee crisis has happened in waves. The 2019 Latin American protests is currently the second wave. I see that there are current concerns about 2018 events transferring over to 2019. That is a valid concern, as the second wave of the "spring" began in 2018.

This is a possible scenario going forward:

Maintain a main Latin American Spring article
Expand the post-2015 section involving the Odebrecht scandal on the main article
Expand the 2019 Latin American protests (2018-19 Latin American protests?) section on the main article
Continue with expanding the 2019 protests article

Just wanted you to take a look at everything and see what you think!----ZiaLater (talk) 16:38, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the note! I think that's an ideal course of action. I am particularly in favour of changing the main page section to 2018-2019. It seems quite complex, and some of the background from the 2019 article may need to be moved back to the main page? (I'm also grateful you're doing a lot of work, though perhaps we could post for assistance in WikiProject LatAm?) Kingsif (talk) 16:42, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

@Kingsif: Help is always nice. You are more active than what I used to be, so I wanted to make sure to reach out to you.----ZiaLater (talk) 16:45, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Well, I'll see what I can do. I do like your plan, too! Kingsif (talk) 16:48, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:House of Flowers The Funeral poster.jpg. 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).

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Misplaced Pages.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Request for arbitration of Áñez political position anti-indigenous source debate

In response to your request for arbitration of this issue, the Arbitration Committee has agreed that arbitration is not required at this stage. Arbitration on Misplaced Pages is a lengthy, complicated process that involves the unilateral adjudication of a dispute by an elected committee. Although the Committee's decisions can be useful to certain disputes, in many cases the actual process of arbitration is unenjoyable and time-consuming. Moreover, for most disputes the community maintains an effective set of mechanisms for reaching a compromise or resolving a grievance.

Disputes among editors regarding the content of an article should use structured discussion on the talk page between the disputing editors. However, requests for comment, third opinions and other venues are available if discussion alone does not yield a consensus. The dispute resolution noticeboard also exists as a method of resolving content disputes that aren't easily resolved with talk page discussion.

In all cases, you should review Misplaced Pages:Dispute resolution to learn more about resolving disputes on Misplaced Pages. The English Misplaced Pages community has many venues for resolving disputes and grievances, and it is important to explore them instead of requesting arbitration in the first instance. For more information on the process of arbitration, please see the Arbitration Policy and the Guide to Arbitration. I hope this advice is useful, and please do not hesitate to contact a member of the community if you have more questions. CodeLyoko 01:15, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Recent dynamic IP edits

Hello. Because of the last edits by the dynamic IP, I wanted to give an advice to patroll these edits. You may know that dynamic IPs change constantly. They usually consists in around 31 characters divided by colons (eg: 0000:1111:222:3333:4444:5555:6666). To see all the edits between these changes, you can look after the "range" of the IP, replacing the last four sections with a zero, followed and ended with "/64" (eg: 0000:1111:222:0:0:0:0/64). This means that the last IP's range is written as 2600:1700:720:8340:0:0:0:0/64 (list of edits), although it seems that there have not been edits besides the ones belonging to the original IP. I think you're currently a more active editor than I am, so I trust your judgement and capacity to keep an eye on this if you wish.

If you want to, you may also want to familiarize yourself with the sockpuppet investigations of Apollo The Logician. Best regards! --Jamez42 (talk) 22:20, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks - it's alright, though the IP range has been blocked on a few Wikipedias, I think it's just someone who is trying to be a nuisance. Since they've had their moment of mischief they probably won't be back. Kingsif (talk) 22:23, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

Don't sweat it, I'm gla to know I was able to help :) Just keep in mind that you may be blocked without warning for violating 3RR, even if these are reverts to an IP. Happy editing! --Jamez42 (talk) 13:07, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Of course! And while I worry a little, I do think disputes lend more to resolution than blocks; or at least that admins are generous enough to consider context or imposing a topic time out before anything drastic. Kingsif (talk) 15:16, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Edit conflict on 2019 Latin American protests

There is a source linking 2019 protests to a similar world dynamic. It would be wise to let the community edit the article freely, you do not have to personally agree with each line of the article. It's Misplaced Pages strength to pic knowledge and view from various references. There is a source looking at these protests as a global trend, let this source be cited. Yug (talk) 23:43, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for this help. It's appreciate and as wiki is intended to work. Yug (talk) 23:47, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

I know how the wiki works, let's assume you weren't being patronizing there. Kingsif (talk) 23:51, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

(edit conflict)It doesn't seem relevant, because your expansion is about the world issues - which are so varied it's still highly debatable that any protests are related - this doesn't warrant being listed on a regional article. And some are definitely false - the defining aspects of protests in LatAm are arson and a political leader, which differs greatly. I do let the community edit freely, please don't accuse me of otherwise when I am clearly removing what seems to be a bad edit. I have now corrected it (extensively) and will happily discuss with you and anyone else at the article talk page about its inclusion. There was at some point mention of other protests influencing different elements - I maintain that no excess world coverage is needed, which what you added certainly is. Kingsif (talk) 23:51, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Baralt Theatre

The article Baralt Theatre you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Baralt Theatre for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

Your advice to "practice editing-skills in the sandbox"

There was no good reason to give me this advice on my talkpage. Gap9551 (talk) 10:24, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

@Gap9551: I didn't? It might have been in an automatic template - when I review pages, if I tag it with an issue, sometimes Legobot puts a message on your talkpage. Not me. Please remain civil on my talkpage, though. Kingsif (talk) 22:39, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

Note that in any case, it was a standard deletion notice template - if I was otherwise prodding an article you made and thought it would be courteous to leave a note, I cannot control if the template I would use to be polite says "you could practice". There was no good reason for you to leave this message on my talkpage, thanks for the irony. Kingsif (talk) 22:44, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

Barnstar

		The Barnstar of Diligence
		Sorry for my behavior at the "A Tree Grows in Guadalajara" GAN, and thank you for the review. You raised a lot of important points that would need to be addressed to improve the article. I have been incredibly stressed lately, but that is no excuse for my behavior. While I do not agree with all of your suggestions, I really do appreciate the time and energy you took to do the review in the first place. I wish you the best of luck with everything on and off Misplaced Pages. I have retired from Misplaced Pages, but if I ever do return (I will at least take a year off), I hope that we can work together. Again, just wanted to offer my apologies. Aoba47 (talk) 03:46, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

Aoba47 It is very nice to work with you - again, my greatest apologies if I hit any buttons! Hope to see you back, but most importantly, take care :) Kingsif (talk) 03:59, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

I take full responsibility so you have no need to apologize. I have just been somewhat stressed lately so I should have stepped back to calm down and taken the opportunity to collaborate with you. I really do appreciate how you opened up a space for collaboration with the GAN, and really tried to engage and improve the article (which admittedly was quite rough). Maybe one day, I will go back and revise it better, but you of course are free to work on it as much as you would like (you would probably be better at it then myself). Again, just wanted to apologize and you take care too! Aoba47 (talk) 00:15, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Thank you, and it's no problem man, wikipedia should feel good - I feel for you feeling stressed, too :) On the upside, whenever you're around, you should say hi, let's work together! Have a good one Kingsif (talk) 00:41, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Brooklyn Bridge/GA1

Thanks for looking at the 1 train's GAN again. The Brooklyn Bridge article was also promoted as a GA by Happypillsjr today. I hope it isn't too bothersome if you could take a look or leave a few comments about this page? I feel like there may be some grammatical things that also need to be resolved. Thanks in advance. epicgenius (talk) 01:22, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Autopatrolled granted

Hi Kingsif, 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. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Anarchyte (talk | work) 04:30, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Translate

I would be glad if you could elaborate what you meant when u said the Abdullah Ebrahim page needs translation. If its the quoted text, it is accompanied by a parallel quote which gives a translation. 92.10.224.76 (talk) 22:23, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

@92.10.224.76: No, I mean that it seems to be a rough translation from another language and is so poor it barely makes sense in English. Kingsif (talk) 22:25, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Ok, i'll try to give it another shot. Is it better now? 92.10.224.76 (talk) 23:15, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

No? I can now get an idea, and have rewritten it some, but that only reveals that he gave someone advice once. Is there anything else notable about him? Kingsif (talk) 23:28, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

So here you have a governor in the longest-lasting anti-colonial movement in Africa that destroyed a third of Somalia's population, and you get a final say on what happens to it. Surely thats notable, but I'm going to expand it some bit. 92.10.224.76 (talk) 00:26, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Yes, the article just needs to establish notability. You could have a king but if the article just says "he gave someone advice once", it isn't clear why the article is needed because it doesn't give any notable information. Thanks for expanding this article! Have you thought about making an account? Kingsif (talk) 00:28, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks! BTW I often move hooks directly to special occasions immediately after approving them. You don't have to wait for the bot. Yoninah (talk) 21:45, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Ah, will remember that - I try to avoid anything that might confuse a bot, but if it works. Kingsif (talk) 21:46, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Wugbot won't be confused unless you're doing your move right at the time it does its own moves. It wakes up 12 times a day, every two hours, at the odd hours UTC (i.e., 01:00, 03:00, etc.), does any moving or deleting needed, and then goes back to sleep. It's also good to avoid 00:00, because that's when MusikBot moves the Current nominations section so it starts a day later. Both bots can be put off by conflicting edits. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:35, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Got it, thanks! That's at least one bot's schedule understood. Kingsif (talk) 03:37, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

New Page Review newsletter December 2019

Reviewer of the Year

This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.

Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.

Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.

Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

Top 10 Reviewers over the last 365 days

(The top 100 reviewers of the year can be found here)

Redirect autopatrol

A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.

Source Guide Discussion

Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.

This month's refresher course

While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Misplaced Pages:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

Changing direct quotes

Hi Kingsif. I see you undid my recent change to Don't I Know You? Please be aware that making minor changes to quotes is acceptable. Firstly you will see that the original editor has replaced 'Weberwiese Station' with ''. You will also find information here as to when quotes may be corrected. I quote; Note that MOS:QUOTE says that "trivial spelling and typographic errors should simply be corrected without comment..." In this case I have changed your 'sic' entry to encapsulate the word in question. This helps tools with their functional processing. Regards Neils51 (talk) 21:37, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

Caracas Metro route diagram templates

Hello Kingsif, I see you reverted my edit at Caracas Metro line 1 RDT, however it's the common practice for these diagrams to use the blue set of BSicons for urban rail transit - light rail and rapid transit, regardless of whether they're underground or not - and the red set for main railway lines. The five metro lines in Metro de Caracas's system are full fledged rapid transit, all operating with an homogeneous technological standard (ROW, rolling stock, signalling, etc.): using the color of the icons to differentiate them in the diagrams because of one being actual underground and the other ones are not, is rather incongruous - as well as quite arbitrary, since AFAIK also line 4 lies entirely under the ground. In order to point out that this specific line run partly above ground (although, to be fair, it mostly doesn't: a couple of stations out of 22 in total is less than 10%), there are specific icons for tunnel (, , , etc.) that can be used to describe this feature. Regards and best wishes for happy Holidays, Yak79 2.0 (talk) 12:08, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for updating again - sorry, after seeing this I would have, but I started editing other things and forgot. Are you able to do the others and/or check if all the symbols are accurate? Kingsif (talk) 16:41, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Fine, it happens to be busy! I plan to check, do the same and make other minor upgrades to the other templates of Metro Caracas in the coming days/weeks. Have a great 2020! Yak79 2.0 (talk) 18:21, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

LGBT+ content in Venezuelan television

Hey! You speak Spanish?

@Danieldealba99: Hi, sí - creo que un artículo sobre los temas LGBT+ en televisión venezolana es una buena idea, pero por qué no lo conversamos en wikipedia? Kingsif (talk) 01:57, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

(Talk page watcher) Sorry for jumping in, but I wanted to comment that I'd be happy to help as well. I'd only ask care with original research. Best wishes and happy new year :) --Jamez42 (talk) 13:14, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif: Hola, feliz año! En realidad yo no sé manejar muy bien Misplaced Pages, y en parte, es por ello que solicito un poco de ayuda para la creación del articulo. Incluso no sabia que esta podría ser una vía para enviar mensajes. Pero si te es cómodo por aquí comunicarnos y manejar la investigación y el contenido que pueda incluirse en el articulo, me parece excelente, no tengo ningún problema. Un saludo!

@James42: Hey, Happy New Year! Yes, of course you can, we need all the help possible. I've been doing some research about the theme, by myself. I imagine you don't speak Spanish, right? Cheers! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danieldealba99 (talk • contribs)

@Danieldealba99: I do :) It is my native language, but I'm writing in English since I gather it isn't Kingsif's, even though they speak it well. Are we talking about a translation to the Spanish Misplaced Pages? Happy New Year and cheers! --Jamez42 (talk) 17:13, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

@Jamez42: Mine too, Jamez, I'm from Venezuela. Well, I think it's a good idea have an article in both languages, so that more Venezuelans could read the information we could get.

@Danieldealba99 and Jamez42: (Thanks, Jamez, very kind) Yes, if Daniel wants to start the page on either English or Spanish, I'm sure we can do some research. @Daniel, have you thought of joining the Venezuela Wikiproject? /Si Daniel quiere empezar a un articulo en wikipedia (ingles o espanol), creo que nos podemos investigar. @Daniel, se pense en participar en el wikiproject venezuela? Kingsif (talk) 22:01, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

Well, I haven't think about that. Actually, it's the first time I heard about it. If you could explain me, it will be great, Kingsif Danieldealba99 (talk) 22:17, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Venezuela is a group of editors who work to improve coverage of Venezuela-related articles. You can share ideas and collaborate with others, there! Kingsif (talk) 22:20, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif: Thanks, Kingsif! I'll read about it later

@Danieldealba99 and Jamez42: So where do we start? I would like to first plan the structure of the article, see what points we can touch, to finish it according to my opinion, with a list of television productions that have included LGBT plots and the characters+actors that have represented these stories.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Danieldealba99 (talk • contribs)

@Danieldealba99: I would recommend to use a similar structure to the Venezuelan LGBT+ cinema article, and I would suggest a division of sections with decades, depending on how much content there is. I assume the main difference is that this article would be focused merely on television, while the former only deals with cinema. --Jamez42 (talk) 10:28, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

@Danieldealba99 and Jamez42: I agree with Jamez, if you want to look at similar articles. We could also consider merging the two into an LGBT+ culture in Venezuela article, if you think it's appropriate? Kingsif (talk) 15:36, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

también encontré este Kingsif (talk) 16:02, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif and Jamez42: I recently read your article, Kingsif, and it seemed very cool... You did an excellent job. I also think that if we merge them into a single article, we would have to include other elements of LGBT culture in the country, such as Daniel Arzola's artistic work against homophobia and other things I hope we could research.--Danieldealba99 (talk) 18:04, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif: I can't open the link you sent, Kingsif. What is it about?--Danieldealba99 (talk) 18:04, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

@Danieldealba99: this might work - it's a link to a specific page, so it has a time out. It can be downloaded and saved. It's "Después de Piero: la representación gay en la televisión venezolana" by Noelia Depaoli in Latinoamérica Libre y Multicultural: Memorias del XVI FELAA - it is also available here. Another journal article may be this. Kingsif (talk) 18:22, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif: Okay, I could download the first article. I'm going to read it and see what I can extract that can be used. The second, on the other hand, I tried to get to read it, but it is difficult for me.

@Kingsif and Jamez42: By the way, I've been researching LGBT content on the most recent Venezuelan soap operas, watching them properly. I have a list with the name of the productions and the actors who played each roles of people from the community. --Danieldealba99 (talk) 01:02, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif and Jamez42: Hi everyone. I could read the first article. Basically, it says that the first Latin American gay character appeared in a Venezuelan soap opera; He mentions that this character had no major influence on the general plot, and that his inclusion was either to reaffirm the masculinity of the male protagonist, or to include an element produced by the zeitgeist in the soap opera (it should be noted that the production was Cristal, released in 1985)

In addition, it makes a review of the character of a program of Venezuelan sketches Radio Rochela. The character, Charly Mata, could contribute to perpetuating a heterosexistic image of the homosexual man (the character did innuendos about his sexuality, had exaggerated feminine mannerisms and used to make sounds alluding to penetration). This character was very popular, and I find it interesting that he could include the article, by recounting it as the negative image that the Venezuelan citizen has in his collective imagination about someone who belongs to the LGBT community, and how this can generate a judgment on any character LGBT that is included in a Venezuelan production, which can eventually generate a rejection of the character or the soap opera or television series. --Danieldealba99 (talk) 15:46, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

@Danieldealba99: That's a useful article then? And you've done a great job summarizing it; did you want to start a draft we could work on? Then we could have a discussion whether to merge the pages into a culture one, you made some good suggestions there, too. Kingsif (talk) 17:47, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif: Yes, I think it's a useful article. We could use its content in the introductory aspect; a kind of background about the first characters associated with the LGBT community. And yes! I want to start a draft so we could work on. What other info you think it would be necessary to search to add in the article? Thank you very much, Kingsif, I do what I can.--Danieldealba99 (talk) 19:41, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

@Danieldealba99: The most important thing to get on is the history, I think. A list of shows, too. You can start it at Draft:Venezuelan LGBT+ television to match the cinema article, if you like, and we can contribute whatever we find! Kingsif (talk) 20:56, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif: Good, thank you so much! Hope we can do it together.--Danieldealba99 (talk) 22:16, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

GA reviewing

Kingsif, I noticed your very generous offer to take on GA reviews by request under certain circumstances, and I was wondering whether that might extend to nominations that have been effectively abandoned by their original reviewers and need someone to take over. Some of these are quite old, and may need what amounts to a complete new review; some are old but progress had been made on addressing issues before the reviewer disappeared.

If you're willing, I can post links to a few of the oldest ones below, along with a summary of their current situation; if any strike your fancy, it would be great if you could take them on when you have time. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:18, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: Sure! I'm happy to help, I might not take up some longer articles for a little while to prevent a headache, but I've tried to pluck some old ones out of the pile recently and will happily review some more :) Kingsif (talk) 19:28, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Kingsif, that's wonderful. Here are a couple of the oldest that have lost reviewers:

Talk:Trench (album)/GA1: nominated last year on December 30, and review opened on April 12 of this year (over eight months ago), it has been abandoned by both nominator and reviewer (nothing since September), but one of the major contributors has offered to take on the task of responding to issues raised by a new reviewer. I put out a call a while ago for a second opinion/reviewer, but no response.
Talk:History of Tobago/GA1: nominated back in March, and review opened on August 23. The reviewer has abandoned it, and while Aircorn offered to put it on their list, said list is long. I'm sure no one would mind if you were interested and able to get to it soon. This is a long one.

Thanks again! BlueMoonset (talk) 20:10, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Adding another that's been abandoned by its reviewer since August (it's another long one, but you did so well wth the first two that I'm hoping you'll have time for this one as well):

Talk:Zoroastrianism/GA2: nominated back in July and review opened on August 1 and last posted to by the reviewer on August 2. I asked for a second opinion/review a week ago, but no one has stepped up. Thanks again. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:47, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
Talk:The Life of Pablo/GA1: nominated back in September and reviewed-and-passed a month later by a first-time reviewer who didn't know what they were doing; ultimately, they agreed that the review should be reopened after I pointed out a number of issues with the article and criteria, and it's been waiting for a new reviewer ever since. I hope you can take care of this one; I had even left a place at the bottom for the new review. Thanks yet again. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:03, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Ah, my gift, a whole new review! Haha, thanks :) Kingsif (talk) 02:12, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

You're very welcome. ;-) In the spirit of a Happy New Year, I'm proposing a new one that's also been shamefully neglected:

Talk:Goodbye (Spice Girls song)/GA1 was nominated last January. The review was opened and one suggestion made on September 7, the only post from the reviewer since was on November 21, promising an immediate return. I have posted reminders on the reviewer's talk page to no avail, and am just about to post a final one saying that a new reviewer will be taking over; I'm hoping you'll be willing to be that reviewer. I've just added a new section for whatever reviewer comes along. Thank you so much. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:13, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
Talk:Self-managed social centres in the United Kingdom/GA1: this is another review abandoned by the same reviewer as Zoroastrianism; the original nomination was on June 30 and review opened on August 2. The nominator had gone looking for a new reviewer four months ago, and I just discovered that fact and was hoping you might be able to take this on one sometime this month. Thanks again! BlueMoonset (talk) 19:03, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Kingsif, it's wonderful that you've taken these all on. There are one or two more that I'm waiting to see whether they'll need a replacement reviewer, and another that just came open:

Talk:Elizabethan Religious Settlement/GA1 was nominated back in August, and opened by a first-time reviewer on November 29 who started with "Opposed" rather than actually reviewing against the GA criteria because they thought it was a just-perm-blocked editor who made the nomination, when it wasn't anything of the sort. They haven't returned since. I've just gotten permission from said reviewer on their talk page to hand this off to someone else, and I'm hoping you can do the honors. Thank you.

Incomplete DYK nomination

Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Cieneguillas prison riots at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; if you would like to continue, please link the nomination to the nominations page as described in step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 10:02, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

Kingsif, if you could please tag the page with the {{db-g7}} template (since it's no longer eligible for DYK now that it has been running at ITN), it will be deleted—there's no need for it to be closed if it never was transcluded in the first place.

Melani Olivares pictures

The picture of Melani Olivares in Template:Did you know nominations/Welcome to the Family (2018 TV series) was bothering me as a little dark, so I thought I would lighten it; then I realized it was from a video, and I thought I might be able to find a better frame. I am afraid I went a bit nuts; but I do think at least one of these will be better than the original. Your choice! --GRuban (talk) 17:44, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

@GRuban: Thanks! The original image of her was very dark and I tried to brighten it without distortion, but I don't have Illustrator on this computer :( Any of those are great, whichever looks most natural per MOS:IMAGES (perhaps not the thoughtful one, as she's looking away) Really nice job, too, thanks. Kingsif (talk) 18:08, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

I think it is more meaningful to use the screenshot, than a logo cutout. Neither of the two images really has an exceptional quality. But it happens, that the screenshot really shows what the series logo looks like. Which in this case is red and with capital letters.BRADFORD talk 09:55, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

I kind of agree, but the title card isn't in the commons folder - it's a free image, but I'd wait until it was on commons (if you're able to move it or otherwise upload to commons, that would be great!) - this is also my preference, wanting it on commons, so you can still use it.

Ana Lucrecia Taglioretti

Hi! I haven't had the chance to thank you for your insight in the AN/I. :) Thanks.

I just translated the Ana Lucrecia Taglioretti article, a blind Paraguayan violinist, from Spanish into English after learning that Women in Red had "Women who died in 2019" as a theme this month.

Taglioretti died his year and I'm not sure if it is still in the scope of the month, but I was wondering if you were interested with doing some proofreading as well as one of your delightful DYK nominations.

Best regards and many thanks in advance! --Jamez42 (talk) 15:18, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Of course! I'm sure WIR will appreciate it - I'm still looking for sources for Karla Luzbel, amazing who doesn't have an article. Kingsif (talk) 17:57, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Thank you so much :) I've also read that Taglioretti was victim of domestic abuse, but I haven't found sources about it. If you'd like to start the article before January ends, let me know so I can try finding more sources. Best wishes! --Jamez42 (talk) 21:06, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

I haven't found anything about that, either. I'm currently looking through archive news, to see if there's anything else unusual. Kingsif (talk) 21:24, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

@Jamez42: como asi? Kingsif (talk) 21:35, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Yes, precisely. Thanks! I wasn't sure if it was appropriate to add it, but it's interesting nonetheless, perhaps for the hook of the DYK. --Jamez42 (talk) 22:18, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

I've added it :) It's interesting, but I think the Carlos Vives stories is a bit more ...uplifting... for a DYK? Kingsif (talk) 22:23, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

I couldn't agree more. If I recall correctly this articles talks more in detail about her relationship with Vives. As always, let me know if I can help :) --Jamez42 (talk) 22:26, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Venezuela articles

Thanks for your note on my talk page and interest in cooperative WP:NPOV work that improves the articles when we are both there. Yes, I might join the Venezuela project and try to post messages at the noticeboard there when there are disagreements and we need more eyes.

I think it is only fair to let you know that at times I have had similar concerns about your ability to summarize WP:RS neutrally when it comes to articles related to Juan Guaido, Nicholas Maduro, Crisis in Venezuela, etc. I noticed this early on when I put an neutrality issue on Juan Guaido. In trying to understand how the article got to be the way it was at the time, I saw edits from you like this that seemed to me to show a pro-Guaido bias not representative of the WP:RS, particularly writing in Wiki voice that "he was sworn in" when the RS says that he swore himself in at a public rally--to the surprise of some people on the stage with him--and that few Venezuelan's knew who he was when he did this, because he never ran for President and was only recently elevated to the be head of the Assembly. I think that article and many others about the politics have a pro-Guaido bias, and I believe that your edits have contributed to that to some extent.

That said, I don't think your edits compare to my concerns I expressed in the recent AN/I case I filed about another editor.

I should also point out that I have been concerned about the systematic elimination of WP:RS that is critical of Guaido and supportive of Maduro. (I believe others have said it was elimination of sources that are anti-war--which may also be true.) I explained at WP:RS/N:

I agree we need to stop these RfC's that are eliminating all WP:RS that is critical of U.S. regime change efforts in Venezuela. The same group of editors who dominate the Venezuela pages (e.g. ) have been eliminating these sources one-by-one with their !iVotes and often citing a connection to or supportive views of Maduro, e.g. Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR),TeleSUR, Venezuelanalysis, Grayzone, HispanTV. * * * --David Tornheim (talk) 13:48, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

When I wrote that, although I did not identify any specific editors, you were one of the editors I was concerned about because of your early !votes against Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) (vote #4), TeleSUR (vote #4), HispanTV (vote #4). All of your edits to RS/N are limited to these sources: TeleSUR TeleSUR TeleSur HispanTV CEPR CEPR CEPR, except FOIA request. Although your reasoning may be otherwise, it gives me the impression that you (and some of the others who are active on Venezuelan politics) might have voted that way because you do not like the reporting that is critical of Guaido or supportive of Maduro or might be "too leftist". I find this reasoning for declaring a source completely or mostly unreliable a big problem not just for the Venezuela articles but for all of the project, especially if we want to be WP:NPOV and present all significant points of view. A number of other editors agreed with me that those RfC's declaring sources unreliable are a big problem. --David Tornheim (talk) 01:08, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

@David Tornheim: Thanks for replying, and for an open one, too. I can see where your concerns come from, don't worry. Of course, on at least one page someone accused me of writing up entirely pro-Maduro biases, and I try to be neutral within what I think are RS - I've recently been stopping IPs from removing info about Luis Parra in the AN election, too - it can be challenging. I also acknowledge that RS can have a Western bias. I don't partake much at RfC but I find it is a big problem with Venezuelan sources, not least because when I stumble on an unfamiliar website/newspaper I often have no idea if it will be torn apart as awful. So I look to fact checking and editorial process, which is why some of those sources (all, I think, actually) I wouldn't use and suggest others don't. For my personal views on the issues, if it helps, I have said before that my only investment is it would be really nice if Venezuela finds stability, for the security of people I know who are across the political spectrum: I disagree with the US tactics because they seem invested in the opposite, and I don't have much of an opinion on the claimants to President. When the news mentions human rights abuses and similar, I try to write it accurately, and I think I've certainly got better - that's what I hope for, at least. You specifically mention the phrasing on Guaidó's swearing in, and for this please take the explanation that I thought it sounded better than 'swore himself in', which is awkward phrasing, and not an attempt to make it sound more or less anything than the truth (note that you link a change to that phrasing by SandyGeorgia, but I think I will have done the same somewhere in that history). As for anything about discarding sources by political affiliation, I recognize everything and everyone has different, mostly legitimate, views and it would be wrong to say 'no left/right news' in the same way it would with countries, etc. And I'm politically left, albeit in the West, take your views on that however you like.

As said, and if you've looked through my edits you'll have seen, I've been pushing to get discussion going or back up. I can't and don't want to be making edits that are too bold, and discussions die quickly, especially when no sides budge. If you're happy to contribute, that's great. I'll take it there are no specific issues with the US intervention articles? With them being both very broad and very political, it wouldn't be the first place I'd want to jump into editing.

Ana Novella

The test you just added is impressive. beautifully written. However I need to point out that one of the sources you used, Artepoli, offers artists the chance to publish a paid critical review for around 67 Euros. "ARTEPOLI offers: The possibility of presenting a criticism, review or article about his work (maximum 800 words) for printing with at least 2 photographs of his paintings (or fragment, in the case of one of them, if it is beneficial for design). The article would occupy double page. If the text is smaller (600 words, for example) there is an opportunity to incorporate a third work or to increase its size." So it is clearly not a relaible source. Reliable sources do not offer paid placement of reviews. Also, you deleted a source I had added.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:33, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

@ThatMontrealIP: Oh no! I'll rework with just the other source, then. Sorry, I commented out the exhibitions until more sources surfaced. I'll add that one back. Kingsif (talk) 00:35, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

Yeah these predatory art journals are everywhere! Here is the link to the 66 Euro offer. I have fallen for them once or twice.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:37, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

Yes, that page outright says "Nada funciona mejor para promocionar tu obra. Anuncia tus próximas exposiciones" - "Nothing works better to promote your work. Announce your next expos" Kingsif (talk) 00:40, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

I'll leave you revert of my removal of colectorsomnis.com. However that is the third bad source that you added, so you might want to check sources more carefully before adding them. The first bad source was the paid review site, the second a wiki style artist promotion site, and colectorsomnis.com is an art dealer. I can see the interest in saving an article, but please watch the source quality. Colectorsomnis.com is a commercial enterprise, and it does not help much.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 02:21, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

Do you want the rationale for Colector Somnis? Since you've left it, I assume you accept the primary source function, and this is necessary because it's not infrequent that there are debates about Catalan vs. Spanish as nationality. I saw it, was going to discard it as not having much (I fundamentally disagree that art dealers are poor sources - they likely know a lot about artworks as facts, though opinions on them could likely be biased, not that this is sourcing either of those things) and then noticed the nationality and thought it would help. Same with the birthday, since that source looked to have been edited by the subject. Primary sources are still sources. I'm usually the one being pretty harsh on sources, but thanks for taking an interest. Kingsif (talk) 02:34, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

@ThatMontrealIP: Are we considering Artepoli completely non-RS; I can't remember if the other article was in the print magazine, but this, with more bio of Novella, as well, was in the print publish version, with an author's name, so seems like this is a proper editorial piece. I only ask because you seem to know about the source. Kingsif (talk) 04:48, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

I would say any publication that published paid critical reviews for $ is suspect. Same as Forbes. I objected to the primary source as it is only the name and the country, and it is published by a dealer. It is not much of a source. We don't need to get too far into this though, as the article is not garnering support at AfD, and, based on my experience there, will be deleted.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:52, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

Excuse me, @Kingsif:. Do not allow editing that false information in the article 2019 Latin American protests is a Misplaced Pages policy? Maintaining a map with false information is a Misplaced Pages policy? Pretending that Belize and Guyana is part Latin America is a Misplaced Pages policy? If it is not a revolution, why does the article have the Revolution banner? It has important contradictions with the Misplaced Pages information in Spanish, and gives a distorted idea of the phenomenon.

More GA reviewing

Kingsif, thanks again for taking on all of the reviews I've passed along to you. I thought it was time to let that one archive and start a new one, if that's okay.

I'm just requesting one at the moment, and it's a bit of an awkward one. We have a new reviewer (who is also a new editor altogether) who bit off more than they could chew (for background see WT:GA#New reviewer); they've passed a number of nominations in reviews with very little commentary, or that miss basic issues. Their first review was summarily reversed, this was their second review, which was opened and passed in just under an hour and subsequently nominated at DYK. The DYK reviewer marked this as problematic due to the kerfuffle regarding the GA reviewer, which I hadn't seen because I check the GAN talk page (where this discussion should have gone) and when I went to check the article a few hours ago I found the prose anything but "clear and concise" with clear grammatical issues. Under the circumstances, I reversed the pass and reopened the nomination. I'm hoping you'll be willing to take it on; I couldn't tell whether the problems were fixable with a good copyedit (a GOCE request, perhaps), or more fundamental, but I thought it needed an experienced reviewer regardless.

3rd Congress of the Indonesian Democratic Party (the original review was at Talk:3rd Congress of the Indonesian Democratic Party/GA1, though the new review will go under /GA2)

Thank you for whatever you can do here. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:42, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

I'll take a look :) Kingsif (talk) 12:17, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Belated thanks for doing so. I've come across another one that it would be great if you could take a look. Nominated and review opened in November, the reviewer has said this month that they won't be able to continue (Talk:Dangerous (Michael Jackson album)/GA2). The nominator was going to look for a new reviewer, but it's been nearly two weeks without any further posts, so perhaps you'd be interested in become a new reviewer there? There's another review open by the same reviewer, but it was posted to by them as recently as December 15 (Talk:Princess Fiona/GA1). Maybe you could inquire as to whether a new reviewer would be welcome there—this is much older than the other one, having been nominated in March 2019 and the review opened mid-October. Thanks again! BlueMoonset (talk) 08:28, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

You've been so good, being willing to take these on. Here's one more, that was opened five months ago and has been languishing for the last four: Talk:MacGyver (2016 TV series, season 1)/GA1. A possible successor to TRM hasn't been able to get started even after seven weeks (see thread here), so I was hoping you could give it some attention. Many thanks as always. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:14, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

I was just pinged by the reviewer on Talk:Véhicule Blindé Léger/GA1, which was nominated back in July and its review has been open for four months. If at some point you have time to take over on this one, that would be wonderful. Thank you so much. (If you find yourself getting overloaded, just let me know and I'll take a breather from posting here.) BlueMoonset (talk) 03:22, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

No worries, I haven't done one in a few days and should probably get to these soon :) Kingsif (talk) 03:25, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Ga reviews

Hi Kingsif,

I noticed you adressed the issues on some of the articles on this discussion NR regarding Minecrafter0271. I was wondering if you could do the same for the others, giving some insight and improves that could be done. Finesse, Punk Rock Girl, George W. Bush 2000 presidential campaign and Bruno Mars: 24K Magic Live at the Apollo. I would do it myself but I'm an interested third party on this one.

GA review

Thanks for your review of Véhicule Blindé Léger. I appreciated your comments.--Le Petit Chat (talk) 14:05, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

OAS, Bolivia.

Did you actually read the source I gave? I provided the citation at the end of the sentence. It's page 56 of the (Spanish) OAS report. I'm going to reinstate my edit because your criticism is baseless. The sample composition is given explicitly in the report. All I've done is repeat and cite it. (For brevity, I ignored one of the OAS's conditions - greater than 99% vote share in actas processed after the TREP interruption - because it's only a subgroup of the >=90% condition.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Futurebum (talk • contribs) 20:00, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

La Casa de las Flores

Sorry, but I'm not the one who contributes with unsourced/false information and excessively detailed information for the lead. Template is used for albums, hence the title "album ratings". As for the template reviews, they are only for one season and are already mentioned in the text. All of the review templates are not necessary if the reviews are already mentioned. −αΣn=1NDi+Fexti 15:37, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

@Sebastian James: The album ratings template is used on featured and good articles for TV episodes and seasons (like San Junipero, last time I checked - the quality rating kind of sets a precedent so not just OtherStuffExists)... you should have kept this at the article talk page. What you made was a BOLD edit, I reverted it. Under Bold, Revert, Discuss, if good faith is assumed then you discuss it. You don't assert your correctness. You don't then come to my user page to bring up your opinions on other parts of my editing to intimidate me. Sebastian, your reputation precedes you and it's not a positive one, but I didn't bring this up and still thought you might have some consideration. If you want to keep pushing, leave the page at stable version, and get discussion on controversial edits, like a community-based editor. Don't reply here, keeping at article talk page helps for discussion history in one place. Kingsif (talk) 00:50, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

GA review check request

Kingsif, I was wondering whether you could look at Talk:Alan Dershowitz/GA1. It was taken by a first-time reviewer and said to be passed after a few hours, but the reviewer was so inexperienced they still haven't actually passed it. In the edit before they opened the review they nominated The Right Side of History at GAN, which turned out to be far from meeting the GA criteria when it was reviewed at Talk:The Right Side of History/GA1. It's this clear lack of understanding regarding their own article, plus not finding any issue at all (not even a missing comma), that raised alarm bells with me.

Thanks for whatever you can do here. It seemed a good idea, given how prominent the subject has been lately, to be careful. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:47, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: Oh, wow, Dershowitz. That's got to be a long article. I'll take a look later today. Kingsif (talk) 19:56, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020

Hello Kingsif/Archives,

Source Guide Discussion

The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.

Redirects

New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.

Discussions and Resources

There is an ongoing discussion around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
A recent discussion of whether Michelin starred restraunts are notable was archived without closure.
A resource page with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
A proposal to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.

Refresher

Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

WikiCup 2020 March newsletter

And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 57 contestants qualifying. We have abolished the groups this year, so to qualify for Round 3 you will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two contestants.

Our top scorers in Round 1 were:

Epicgenius, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with a featured article, five good articles and an assortment of other submissions, specialising on buildings and locations in New York, for a total of 895 points.
Gog the Mild came next with 464 points, from a featured article, two good articles and a number of reviews, the main theme being naval warfare.
Raymie was in third place with 419 points, garnered from one good article and an impressive 34 DYKs on radio and TV stations in the United States.
Harrias came next at 414, with a featured article and three good articles, an English civil war battle specialist.
CaptainEek was in fifth place with 405 points, mostly garnered from bringing Cactus wren to featured article status.
The top ten contestants at the end of Round 1 all scored over 200 points; they also included L293D, Kingsif, Enwebb, Lee Vilenski and CAPTAIN MEDUSA. Seven of the top ten contestants in Round 1 are new to the WikiCup.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. In Round 1 there were four featured articles, one featured list and two featured pictures, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. Between them, contestants completed 127 good article reviews, nearly a hundred more than the 43 good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Contestants also claimed for 40 featured article / featured list reviews, and most even remembered to mention their WikiCup participation in their reviews (a requirement).

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

FA reviewing

Is there a particular type of review you would like me to explain performing? There are content, image, and source reviews. You can of course do multiple to a single nomination. Typically three content, one image, and one source review are the minimum needed for an article to pass. I can go over the differences in my GA and FA content reviewing style, if that would be the most helpful. Sorry I was so late getting back to you on this! Kees08 (Talk) 20:53, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Perhaps the GA/FA reviewing differences would be a good place to start? No worries about the time! Kingsif (talk) 22:04, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

I have been putting this off for no good reason, so I am going to start rambling and hopefully some of it will be useful.

A couple of big differences if you are doing just the content review. You don't have to review the images for copyright, etc, although it can be good to make sure there aren't any sandwiching issues. You also don't have to look at the source formatting, but I personally consider that part of my content review. I am much more picky reviewing source formatting in an FA: does every source that can have an ISBN have one? Do the ISBNs have dashes in them or not (should be consistent)?

For source reviews, new nominators are required to have a 'spot check' done to make sure the sources support the material. I personally spot check experienced nominators too.

One key to reviewing FAs is reading other's reviews, and putting some of your own articles through if you can. You start to notice things you did not notice before. Is every item in the infobox cited either in the prose or in the infobox itself?

Most articles should be well written at this stage, especially if nominated by an experienced nominator. I find it helpful to look if the nominator has had successful nominations before and if English is their first language. If it is not, then I might look harder at the prose.

Definitely add the Misplaced Pages:Nominations viewer if you have not, the page is unreadable without it.

When just getting started with reviews, I would pick one that is maybe 5 to 10 down the queue. Newer than that, and the article might have substantial issues and could be archived. Older than that, and it might be things that more experienced reviewers are finding problems with.

Do not feel discouraged if you support and later somebody swings by, opposes, and says the initial reviews were not good enough. It is going to happen, it has happened to me even recently, just try not to take it personally.

I think reviewing articles at that level requires additional tools. In my scripts, I use the following:

importScript('User:Anomie/linkclassifier.js'); // Linkback: User:Anomie/linkclassifier.js
importStylesheet('User:Anomie/linkclassifier.css'); // Linkback: User:Anomie/linkclassifier.css
- This one lets me easily see DABs and redirects. Redirects are sometimes okay, but I find it more helpful for immediately identifying DABs.
importScript('User:Ucucha/duplinks.js'); // User:Ucucha/duplinks
- Highlights when things are overlinked in an article. Sometimes if an article is long enough it can be okay to wikilink multiple times, but that's the exception and not the rule. You can read other's reviews and you'll see overlinking mentioned, usually identified with this tool.
importScript('User:Ucucha/HarvErrors.js');
- Identifies if harv style citations are properly linked to their citations and will display big red warnings if they are not. Only works if a template is used though, not if a plain text citation is used

That's all the rambles I have for right now; might I suggest reviewing SounderBruce's article Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/Interstate 82/archive1? They typically have high quality articles, you might not find much to change in it.

Let me know if there are any specific questions about what I wrote about or any questions about reviewing FAs in general. I found that putting one through FA really helped, and then just going in and trying, to be the most helpful. Kees08 (Talk) 17:01, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

New Albion article update

Hello Kingsif. I have able to continue on the New Albion article improvement and have just restructured a section formerly known as Background, and I did so using your suggestions and encouragement. When you have a moment, please peruse that section. Kind regards, Hu Nhu (talk) 10:26, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll take a look! Kingsif (talk) 20:14, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello Kingsif. This is simply a message to keep you updated on the New Albion article. I've restructured much of it, and I believe that the article organization is good at this point. You'll notice a major difference relates to the Coast Miwok and the land a climate sections as they appeared in the old article. I removed much, especially from the land a climate and combined the two into one section; consequently, I found that the new combined section seemed out of place. So, I moved it to an earlier position in the article and believe it fits well. I am still working on the end of the article as it relates to the Plate of Brass hoax and colony speculation. I may need to return home country before I can adequately address those sections as I may need to locate source material which is cited, particularly regarding the Plate of Brass hoax. And I have continued on the overall tone of the article, too, and that will be addressed in the remaining sections as well when I am able to properly attend to them. Most kind regards,Hu Nhu (talk) 18:22, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

@Jamez42: You might have seen this. I searched the film - the above instagram, some trailers, and a little news coverage came up. But the most reputable source seems to be Maduradas. Have you heard of it? Kingsif (talk) 20:26, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping! I'll notify the IP that I replied in your talk page. I've looked for more sources and found many articles, with different degrees of reliability:

The film was apparently released some weeks ago. Although I'd advice to wait for more coverage and it'd be excellent to include festival submissions, from what I've seen the film notability criteria is a little low compared to other categories, and there might be enough information to write about its basic information and production. I could try starting the article later. --Jamez42 (talk) 01:36, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi Kingsif. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
Rollback should never be used to edit war.
If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Misplaced Pages:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! – Juliancolton | 14:09, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

Flight Suspensions

Hello There,

As a recent changes patroller, I would like to know if we include "Suspended" after an airline's destination on an airport's WP article. A series of constant edits done by 188.174.167.5 (talk), appeared to be removing the "SUSPENDED" keyword after an airline's destination. (See Glasgow Airport)

A confrontation about this edit which could be found on my talk page, had 188.174.167.5 (talk) telling me that there is a particular 'consensus' on this issue.

I would like to know where exactly has this consensus been agreed upon, probably a link to a WP discussion could help.

Best Regards,

Denver Correia | Thank you ~:~:~:~ (talk) 15:29, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

@Denver20: Thanks for asking, I've looked at your talk page and the Glasgow Airport page. There is no consensus that I know of to not include 'suspended' when a flight route has indeed been suspended. However, the typical usage of 'suspended' in relation to flight routes suggests more permanency (like, Glasgow used to have flights Boston but has no plans to anymore). Of course, I wouldn't remove it from the article without a discussion, perhaps at the Impact of the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic on aviation talk page (or at the WikiProject for more input), on whether it is appropriate in this situation, since most flights are grounded entirely. As a default, the 'suspended' should be kept until consensus is found. Kingsif (talk) 15:49, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

@ Kingsif (talk)

Thank you so much for your quick reply. Should I then go ahead and use the word "Suspended" on airline routes affected by the Corona Virus. I would also seek due permission to revert the edits by 188.174.167.5 wherever necessary to re-instate the word 'Suspended'.

Denver Correia | Thank you ~:~:~:~ (talk) 16:10, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

@Denver20: I'll reinstate it at that page, but I encourage discussion. Kingsif (talk) 16:14, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

GA review request

Kingsif, I know you're quite busy right now, and a new GA review opened by Happypillsjr may take a fair amount of your time as mentor to make sure it stays on track.

I was hoping however, that you'd be willing to take over the oldest review, Talk:Vastupala/GA1. It has been open for nearly ten months, and was originally nominated nearly five months before that (297 and 447 days respectively). Winged Blades of Godric has finally agreed, on their talk page, for me to find a new reviewer since they're not getting anywhere, so I'm turning to you. The nominator posted in February that they'd addressed all the issues previously raised, but some questions of the reviewer were never responded to and I imagine there's more the reviewer never covered.

Please let me know! Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:19, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Yes, I'll do Vastupala now. I also didn't know Happypillsjr had opened a new review, but I'll look at that, too. Kingsif (talk) 15:28, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: I've reviewed Vastupala, which is the review that Happy's opened? Kingsif (talk) 23:10, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Kingsif, thanks so much for taking on Vastupala. Happy's review is Talk:Bx12 (New York City bus)/GA1, opened on March 15; they pinged you at the time (or at least tried), but nothing's been posted there beyond the opening sentence. Bx12 was the oldest unreviewed nomination at the time it was opened, and had waited for nearly ten months. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:38, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

I held off on that review, because Kew Gardens 613 nominated it and they have a lot of real world stuff going on at the moment. I'll add it to my watchlist to see if either of them adds comments, and leave a message. Kingsif (talk) 23:50, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

I'd noticed that Kew Gardens 613 said that they'd been busy, but then they went and nominated eleven new articles at GAN on March 13, so busy seems to be a relative term. (I think you were right to close the 1 subway article, and saw the generous offer you made while doing so.) I see you've started engaging Happypillsjr in the process on Bx12; I wish you the best of luck.

Since I am here, I was wondering whether you might be able to return to Talk:Alan Dershowitz/GA1. There haven't been any responses to your request for second opinions, and the original reviewer there (who was way out of their league) hasn't edited in over four weeks, so I think it would be best if someone experienced took it on. If it isn't an imposition, you have already noted that you see some issues, but it's entirely up to you; while there isn't an enormous rush, the article was originally nominated at GAN almost thirteen months ago, so it would be nice to get closure on it before too much longer. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:06, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

I saw that tonight you closed both Vastupala and Alan Dershowitz; it's a shame that in their nominators' more than 100 edits in the past week or more, none of them were to the articles they had under review. I would also like to suggest that since Happypillsjr has not edited their review in the same period despite their concentration on their own editing, that it should be strongly suggested to them that they should not attempt any more GA reviews, since it's clear that they don't understand what is needed and by their edits (or lack thereof) have not demonstrated interest in learning how to become a capable reviewer. A mentor can lead their mentee only so far; if the person who needs the help won't do the work necessary to learn, then to my mind they've forfeited their opportunity to participate. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:05, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Yes, I think that Vastupala was a long way off meeting the criteria, and though Dershowitz was better, it had been left without any significant edits from before I added comments (the first time, even, I think). I'm always happy to take anything on twice should they come back up, though! I'll see what kind of message I can leave Happypillsjr, and what to do with any reviews they have open.

New GA review request

Kingsif, earlier this month you took over an abandoned review, Talk:Battle of Arachova/GA1, and took it to completion. That same reviewer left another abandoned review, Talk:Raymond III, Count of Tripoli/GA1, last edited on February 16, and has made no Misplaced Pages edits since February 24. (The nominator responded on February 17 that they'd dealt with the issues raised, and the reviewer had indicated that it was just about ready to be approved, but it's been hanging since then.) If you could finish it off, that would be great. It's the last review left hanging by this reviewer. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:36, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

After you're done with that, I was wondering whether you'd be willing to take on Talk:Martinus (son of Heraclius)/GA1, which is currently the oldest extant review, having been opened last August 10. The previous reviewer, who has been doing very little on Misplaced Pages for a while, has said this is unlikely to change, and is okay with me finding someone new. If you can, that could be great. (If you can't, I'll keep looking.) Thanks again! BlueMoonset (talk) 01:52, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: This got a little buried, but I can definitely look at them. There's a backlog drive and a WikiCup running ;) Kingsif (talk) 00:04, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Yes on the just-begun drive and the WikiCup: I just added the tab for the GAN drive and put an announcement for it on the main WP:GAN page, all while capturing the starting totals for the drive and adding them to the page. (Who is leading the drive and who assisting is still in flux, but I imagine they'll figure it out soon.) Thanks for taking these two on. I'm not sure you'd get credit for Raymond if it is indeed almost done, but possibly for Martinus, if there's enough left to do that you think it's worth claiming. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:24, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Of course, I made one comment on Raymond, it looks great. I feel sorry for the nominator there. Kingsif (talk) 00:26, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Good Article Reassessments (GAR)

Kingsif, I noticed that you opened and closed a GAR on Flagstaff, Arizona, in a very short period of time. I'm afraid this is not allowed under the GAR process.

If you'll look on the WP:GAR page, you'll see that there are two forms of GARs: individual and community. Individual reassessments are actually far more efficient, but there are very definitive process requirements, including an extended period for comments and work from other people. Indeed, as the person conducting the reassessment, you are supposed to notify all of the interested parties (original nominator, most recent reviewer, perhaps the person who conducted the last reassessment (if it was an individual one), significant contributors, and all the relevant WikiProjects. Please be sure to follow all of the steps from 5 on down.

Even if an article is in rough shape, the goal of a reassessment is to try to get the article to the point that it meets the GA criteria again. This is not always possible in seven days, which is the minimum time you should allow the various stakeholders once they've been notified, to improve the article—and if they're making good progress, let them have more time as you would in a GAN review. If nothing happens in that week, or progress is too slow or the quality is clearly inadequate, then the reassessment can be closed and the article delisted, but it stays a GAN until the reassessment finally closes, at which point it either stays a GA or is delisted.

I did revert your delisting, so the reassessment remains open. Once you've notified all the parties—I've made upwards of a dozen on some reassessments I've opened—then the clock can start ticking. Best of luck!

PS: I'm not entirely sure that GARs count in the backlog drive, since the idea is to reduce the number of outstanding nominations, and a reassessment is another thing that actually adds to what needs to be done in the GA space. You might want to check with Harrias on that. Doing GARs is a good thing, regardless. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:57, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

I replied at the talk page, so I guess I don't need to go into more details here - but obviously thank you for AGF, as always. I've notified WikiProject Arizona and the editor who passed it most recently (in October 2007). Given it was 2007, that review isn't exactly comprehensive, and I don't know how interested the editor will be. The WikiProject, as I said, isn't particularly active, either. I'll continue trying to update it, myself, I hope that's allowed. I haven't added it to the backlog drive, no, I didn't think it would count either ;) Kingsif (talk) 02:01, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

DYK for 2020 Venezuelan National Assembly Delegated Committee election

On 11 April 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 2020 Venezuelan National Assembly Delegated Committee election, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Additional GA review requests

Kingsif, in case you're looking for more abandoned GA reviews to take over, there are a number that could use attention. In some cases, a "second opinion" has been requested where it's really a call for a new reviewer, either because the reviewer disappeared or has withdrawn.

Talk:Julius Nyerere/GA1: this review was opened on January 30 by a reviewer in their first edit in over two months and who hasn't edited since and never posted any actual review. A second opinion was requested by the nominator on March 9, with no response as yet. (The nomination was made on January 29, the day before it was picked up for review.)
Talk:A Star Is Born (2018 film)/GA1: I had to intervene on this review since the reviewer was a first-timer, and clearly didn't know what they were doing (this was their only review and they haven't tried again). It needs an experienced reviewer to do the full review, and I was hoping you would take it on; I've done all I can.

I've made status queries on over half a dozen GA reviews that seem to have stalled; if any of these turn out to be because the reviewers are no longer interested, I'll be back to make additional requests.

I was also wondering whether you'd be interested in offering to mentor any newer reviewers. I realize things weren't very rewarding with Happypillsjr, but there are two reviewers where I recently reverted their passages of the GAs and reopened them because of what was missed. I have no idea whether they'd be interested, but I'm listing (and pinging) them below in case they are.

Editoneer: the review I reopened was Talk:Love Island (American season 1)/GA1; you can see the issues they noted and the ones that I subsequently found. Editoneer has continued reviewing, and found more things in subsequent reviews, but they've requested a second opinion on their review at Talk:Okamoto syndrome/GA1 before concluding it, which I think is wise. Perhaps you can supply the second opinion and some guidance? Note that their second opinion request for Talk:Bangladesh/GA2 is a request for someone to take over the review. If you can do so, that's great, but I'd wait to make sure the nominators are working on what's already been noted (or you can make a statement to that effect if you offer to take over). BlueMoonset (talk) 20:10, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
Jon698: the review I reopened was Talk:Mason Mathews/GA1; this was opened and passed in the same edit without any issues being raised, though the reviewer made edits to the article first. You can see what I raised after a skim through the article (there is probably more to be found). I haven't checked any of their other reviews against the articles involved, though three of the other four appear also to have been passed in the same manner.

Thank you very much for everything. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:10, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Hey BlueMoon, I wanted to thank you for showing me the error in my ways and not treating me coldly. Editoneer (talk) 08:44, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: Someone else had already taken over Julius Nyerere by the time I took a look - I have done a review of Love Island and left a comment at A Star Is Born and Okamoto syndrome. The nominator of Bangladesh hasn't edited at all in over two weeks, I will leave a note at their talk page reminding them of the review. I'll also look at Jon698's reviews later, and may offer to mentor them, who knows. Kingsif (talk) 22:44, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Great that someone else has stepped forward for the Nyerere article. Thanks for reviewing Love Island and getting it over the line, and for checking those other two; I added a comment to Okamoto syndrome after yours, since MOS:LEAD is a GA criterion and one that the article clearly didn't meet (and the reviewer should have checked).

I noticed that you are reviewing Talk:John Mathews (Augusta County)/GA1; the nominator is the same person as the one who nominated Talk:Mason Mathews/GA1, which I mentioned above. I had pointed out a number of things to be addressed, but it was a far from rigorous check. They've just posted that they've addressed these; I hope you don't mind, but since you've already said that you'll be looking at the review later, I'm going to tell them that you'll be doing a further check of the nomination in the coming days. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:22, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Of course, no worries! Kingsif (talk) 15:25, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: Looking through Jon698's reviews, I have found Talk:Salzburg Conference/GA1 and Talk:1938 deportation of Jews from Slovakia/GA1, two quick passes on similar subjects, and Talk:Energy policy of Turkey/GA1, which had criteria 1 failed without much comment and has not been commented on in nearly a month – I also note that re. the first two, on Salzburg Conference the reviewer left a comment about how much they are personally interested in the subject, which is longer than the review itself. Would you like me to take a look at these? Kingsif (talk) 16:52, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Kingsif, I'm not sure. You might want to take a look at one of them to see if there are any clear issues or important things that were missed, with a view toward eventual mentorship if warranted. And speaking of mentorship, I notice that Happypillsjr has opened yet another review, this time Talk:M (New York City Subway service)/GA1. Clearly, they're ignoring your very strong suggestion on their talk page that they stop opening GA reviews because they aren't any good at it. If this one goes south the way the others have, we should think about asking at WT:GAN that they be banned from any further reviewing because it's clear they have no idea how to do so. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:31, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll have a glance at those articles. It's unfortunate that Happy has just started again, without even asking for help. I'll keep back and see how it goes. Kingsif (talk) 03:34, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

I should have looked more closely, Kingsif: the review at Talk:Energy policy of Turkey/GA1 actually says that the reviewer is waiting for a second opinion, so please provide one when you get the chance. (I've just changed the status from "onhold" to "2ndopinion" on the GA nominee template to reflect this.) Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:06, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

I noticed that Talk:M (New York City Subway service)/GA1 was almost passed today before wiser advice prevailed and it was put on hold instead. This review looks a little better than some previous ones, but still clearly lacking. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:45, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

I'm not sure how improved that review was... the first comment is asking to change a perfectly fine sentence to one without an actual subject in it that doesn't make any sense. And the other comment is asking for two paragraphs to be rewritten without any reason why. And it didn't pick up on missing citations, who knows what other surface-level details could have been missed. I'll give the article a look and may add comments if I find anything serious, but Kew/epicgenius are pretty good at writing these articles. Kingsif (talk) 19:01, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for stepping up on DYK reviews

Kingsif, thanks for stepping up and dealing with so many older DYK reviews. It's much appreciated.

I wanted to check to be sure you were doing the neutrality checks on hook and article, reviewing the article sourcing (no unsourced paragraphs and no bare URL sources), and also the critical close paraphrasing/copyvio/plagiarism check. You probably are, but I didn't see any mention of it in your reviews that I glanced at when I realized someone was finally taking care of the older ones. It really helps when you mention doing those checks, because promoters to prep know that it has at least been checked by the reviewer. Lately, it's been hard to use Earwig's copyvio checker—it's frequently offline or incredibly slow—so spotchecking sources against the article is all one can do, really, unless you use the WMFLabs Dup Detector, which can compare one source against the article.

Thanks again! BlueMoonset (talk) 00:39, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

I have been, yes - earwig has been working for me the last few days, so I also felt it was a great time to knock out some reviews. I also realized part way through I hadn't been making notes of the QPQs, either, so sorry about that, too. I'll try to make sure I include everything in comments, from now :) Kingsif (talk) 00:43, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Renewed GA review request

Kingsif, I wasn't sure whether you'd noted that the nominator has become active at Talk:Bangladesh/GA2, so they are still around and are working on the original comments. If you can complete the review there, that would be great.

Oddly, I'm not seeing any other reviews that need another voice at the moment, though I have queried a couple of reviewers who haven't been around for a while, so that may not last. Thanks as always for your help. BlueMoonset (talk) 13:07, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Featured Topic comments

Hey! Here is I think the main idea I would emphasize about the criteria for and nature of a good/featured topic: A lot of people who first hear about the idea say, "Well, there are at least three good articles related to <topic>, so I guess that's a Good Topic," but a G/FT has to fill a defined scope, and that scope can't just be "whatever articles happen to be at least G/FA". The idea, rather, is that you would ask yourself a priori, "What articles would need to be in a set to comprehensively cover this topic?", without any reference to whether those articles currently exist or are of high quality. Then, if all the articles you named do exist and are of at least GA quality, then you've got a Good Topic. If not, you can try to get them there! I just did this for Estuaries of Texas: I defined the scope as "the seven major estuaries along the Texas coast, as defined by the state", and then set out to get all of those articles to GA, and then nominated it.

So, your first step in creating a G/FT is to define its scope. The scope can be changed later; for example, recently we had a FT of all the battleships Germany ever built. Then, someone went and improved to FA-quality the articles about a handful of battleships that Germany ordered but that were never actually finished and launched. They then proposed, "Why don't we expand the scope of this topic to include these incomplete battleships, too?" And the proposal got support, and the topic was expanded. So, the scope of a topic can be expanded after the fact with a supplemental nomination, if there's a new, larger scope that also makes sense (and all the articles in it are of high enough quality). One good clue as to whether some articles are all part of a well-defined "topic" that one might conceive of a priori is that there would probably be a category named for the topic that would contain all of those articles! For this reason, Featured Topic Criterion 1(c) requires that the articles all share a common category or super-category.

So, if we were to define the scope of a topic about Manuel Trujillo Durán, what would its scope be? Since he's notable as a photographer and filmmaker, then probably all of his notable (or at least major) works; maybe also locations that played a key role in his life and career, if the articles clearly established that strong connection; possibly a key artistic collaborator? If all of these articles really had that strong a connection to him, then they would probably already be in a Category:Manuel Trujillo Durán, or at least it should make sense to create such a category and put them in it. As an example, the only G/FT I currently see about an artist or architect is Misplaced Pages:Featured topics/John Douglas, and it consists of his bio article and a series of feature lists of his notable works, so making a FL about Durán's works would be another good way to cover this scope.

Likewise, if we wanted to define the scope of a topic about Un célebre especialista ..., the only example I currently see of a topic about a specific film is Misplaced Pages:Featured topics/Evita (1996 film), which consists of the film's article, a FL of awards it received, a GA about its soundtrack (since it's a musical), and then GAs about notable singles from the soundtrack. So, looking at the article on Un célebre especialista ..., it would be tough to assemble a topic on this one, since it doesn't have a known director, and it doesn't necessarily look like there's enough commentary about it write a separate article about, say, critical reaction to it, or its historical impact.

I'll tell you what does look like a potential topic to me, though: was the screening of those four films on 28 January 1897 a notable event? One of the articles describes it as the "birth of the Venezuelan film industry." If so, maybe you could write an article about that event and get it to GA, then add on the articles about the four films screened and the Baralt Theatre, and have a credible Good Topic candidate. The question would be, is there significant enough news/scholarly coverage of that film screening to argue that it was a notable event and write a Good Article about it? Was it a big enough deal to merit its own category, which the other articles would go in? That I don't know. In summary, articles make sense as elements of a topic if they are strongly enough associated with that topic that it would be reasonable to put the articles in a category named for that topic.

Anyway, I hope this helps! I think WP's Good/Feature Topic system is really interesting, and I wish it got more visibility. I'm happy to answer any more questions you have about the process, and I wish you success in creating your first topic! -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 13:31, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

@Bryanrutherford0: Thank you for this detailed advice! Your suggestion on the screening - it doesn't exactly have its own article, but Venezuelan cinema in the 1890s covers it and is a GA - of course, this decade also has the work of Carlos Ruiz Chapellín, which are not GA, so from this comment I would think that it would not make a GT? (A very niche area, I know) Kingsif (talk) 16:39, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

I would say that "Venezuelan cinema in the 1890s" could definitely be a coherent topic, and (without being very familiar with the topic) a reasonable scope would be the list of films in this section. If you got articles about those eight films to GA quality, then, together with the overview article, I would call it a complete topic. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 17:10, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

I have a blowup of the image File:Scott_Pilgrim_We_Are_Sex_Bob-Omb_graphic_novel_part.png which I think could be more illustrative in the article, showing the chord chart and some of the lyrics. I'd like to email it to you, for discussion purposes, if you could email me at Special:EmailUser/Reidgreg and provide an address where I can email you. If you don't feel like giving me an email, I can add it to the article temporarily with a fair use rationale. – Reidgreg (talk) 21:35, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

@Reidgreg: Email is fine - but I have the graphic novel (when I found the scan in a journal article I uploaded that instead). I'll send an email to see which part specifically. Concern would be about what to show? The sources and article discuss the lyrics, chords, fingering diagram, and how the artwork depicts the 'feel' of the music. FYI, I really appreciate how you're going above to collaborate on this :) Kingsif (talk) 21:43, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Ah, well, I'm a fan too. (I ended up watching the movie twice and reading the first three graphic novels, which may account for why it's taking so long.) For the email, it doesn't include your (sender's) email address when you do that, you have to type it into the message. But since you have the original, what I was thinking of would show just the width of the black box, including the box and extending upwards to include a dozen words of the lyrics between the panel margins. I thought it might be of value if those tiny notes were legible, so you can see what the article is discussing. – Reidgreg (talk) 22:22, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

(Damn, I've only read the first graphic novel) Ah, good for privacy, I guess. That could work, since it also shows how the lyrics were written between the panels? Perhaps we could also use one of the bottom panels, or one from the other page, that show the art that gives the 'feel'? Happy to use your suggestion with or without full page.

This article

I noticed that happypillsjr recently nominated an article, but it appears to require a lot of cleanup. Is it eligible for quick fail?

Things I've noted by skimming through the article:

The lead is way too long (3 para's with 4.5k of prose)
The text is very cluttered with images and templates
The history section is subdivided when it doesn't need to be
The most cluttered section features 1 web citation without a url which is from 1988 even though it is about the current station layout
The next section has no refs

What do you think? Quick fail? Username 03:16, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

@Username6892: That is a barely-referenced unreadable mess that would surely fail on coverage grounds, given the high quality of most NY station articles, even if the refs and templates were cleaned up. Happypillsjr has previously nommed at GA and FA articles that the NY rail task force have identified as needing work, which I guess happy seems to think means 'put up for quality assessment'? I would quickfail it, and recommend bringing it up with someone like @Epicgenius:. Kingsif (talk) 04:03, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif: It's a copyvio too Username 13:03, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif and Username6892: I agree this needs a quick fail. Kew Gardens 613 who has brought the Archer Avenue lines article to GA status, recently ranked that article as a start-class. It is nowhere near B-class quality, let alone a GA quality. epicgenius (talk) 13:04, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif, Username6892, and Epicgenius: I really appreciate @Happypillsjr:'s work to try to improve the article, but it is not ready. I think a quick fail makes sense, but I would make sure to ask @Happypillsjr: whether they are up to the task of drastically improving the article in a short time. I think it would make sense to explain to them explicitly why this is not GA quality, and what they can do for the future to ensure that the article meets all GA requirements.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 13:24, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

I have an idea. @Epicgenius, Kew Gardens 613, and Username6892:, and @BlueMoonset:, are you all good with a discussion here, or should we take it to the GAN talkpage? We could have a consultation with @Happypillsjr: and just outright ask them what they think the GA process is for and what they think the criteria mean. Kingsif (talk) 18:43, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Kingsif, I think we should take this to WT:GAN to consolidate discussion and avoid cluttering your page. epicgenius (talk) 18:45, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

WikiCup 2020 May newsletter

The second round of the 2020 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 75 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top ten contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 186 good articles achieved in total by contestants, and the 355 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.

Our top scorers in round 2 were:

Epicgenius, with 2333 points from one featured article, forty-five good articles, fourteen DYKs and plenty of bonus points
Gog the Mild, with 1784 points from three featured articles, eight good articles, a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews and lots of bonus points
The Rambling Man, with 1262 points from two featured articles, eight good articles and a hundred good article reviews
Harrias, with 1141 points from two featured articles, three featured lists, ten good articles, nine DYKs and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews
Lee Vilenski with 869 points, Hog Farm with 801, Kingsif with 719, SounderBruce with 710, Dunkleosteus77 with 608 and MX with 515.

The rules for featured article reviews have been adjusted; reviews may cover three aspects of the article, content, images and sources, and contestants may receive points for each of these three types of review. Please also remember the requirement to mention the WikiCup when undertaking an FAR for which you intend to claim points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, 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.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, 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!

List of dramatic television series with LGBT characters: 2020s

Don't know why you didn't understand the purpose of the list when you made your edit, but:
"List of dramatic television series with LGBT characters: 2020s" = series that premiered in the 2020s.
"List of dramatic television series with LGBT characters: 2010s" = series that premiered in the 2010s.
If a series premiered in 2018, it belongs in one list only: the 2010s list. New main and recurring LGBT characters can appear in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, etc. -- it doesn't matter. New seasons of a series can include new LGBT characters but the year the series premiered doesn't change, and the series belonging only in the list for that year doesn't change. Pyxis Solitary (yak). L not Q. 07:59, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

@Pyxis Solitary: I find it odd how this message starts off intensely hostile, but gets more friendly? Anyway, I made that edit based on a talk page discussion that looked ongoing about when characters appeared, so I was working off that. Maybe the "purpose of the list" from your point of view should be in a bold hatnote at the top of the page if you don't want it to be misunderstood? In any case, you should have damn well just undone/corrected the edit and left this explanation in a friendly edit comment instead of coming to my talkpage with a 'how on earth did you get this wrong'-style message. Thanks. Kingsif (talk) 13:40, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

@Pyxis Solitary: I also gave a glance at your talkpage, I was thinking of posting a response there, and I notice that even in the last few weeks you have been quite hostile to other editors who have edited the various List of LGBT characters articles (all but one message there since March 30, in fact). I can very honestly understand how you want to keep pages clean and to a certain standard, etc., but if you're constantly challenging what looks like every edit to an article in a manner that does not appear to WP:AGF on the part of other contributors, perhaps you could reflect on that behavior and also read WP:OWN and maybe WP:BITE. Kingsif (talk) 13:56, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

ETA As a hopefully-useful intervention: this (message you left) is an entirely inappropriate and hostile use of a user talk page. Is this message to discuss with me? No. Is it to leave me a notification? No. Is it to address an editing issue that will change things going forward? No. You only left the message to belittle me about a past edit you don't like. FIXIT would have been the correct response from you, and if I'd reverted, the appropriate action then would be a discussion at the article talk page. You also seem to assume I was editing willfully against your rule, but if you perhaps glanced at the next edit I made to that page, you'll have read the very 'sorry if this is controversial'-style edit reason I left – odd how that's not been included in your, what, complaint? In short, stop leaving hostile messages to editors who do things you don't like. (None of these responses are intended as an invitation to discuss any issue, and any more hostile messages left for me will be removed because it's just damn rude and non-constructive) Kingsif (talk) 14:40, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Hostile? No. Bewildered? Yes. I've been editing these lists for a long time and that edit was the first of its kind.
"Maybe the "purpose of the list" from your point of view should be in a bold hatnote at the top of the page if you don't want it to be misunderstood?" The "purpose of the list" is in the title of the list. A list for 2020s television series is a list about television series of the 2020s. What is misunderstandable about that?
"assume I was editing willfully against your rule". I have no "rule" -- I only have observation and deduction: a series that premiered in the year of a particular decade belongs within that decade, under the year for it.
I did more than glance at your summary ... I read it. It states: "this can be cut down to only the characters that debuted in 2020 (the last three) if controversial". Characters that were introduced in 2020, in a series than ran 2018–2020, still don't belong in the list for series that premiered in 2020.
As for some posts in my Talk page: one is a jerk, the other screwed around with a talk page comment, and the third was an overzealous content remover. If I cared what anyone thought about me because of those posts, they would have been blanked long ago.
That's it. Pyxis Solitary (yak). L not Q. 17:02, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Really, no edits like that? Do works not cross decades often, then? Perhaps the '2020' in the non-standard article title needs to be attached to 'series'. The talk page discussion could be finished, too. Of course, I have no further interest in those pages, so count me out. Kingsif (talk) 17:39, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Really. The only time a series has been added in two different decades is if the newer series is a reboot of the original. For example:
Veronica Mars ran 2004–2007, then again in 2019. Since the 2019 return is a continuation of the same series (as season 4) it was added to the series in the 1970s–2000s list within 2004.
Dynasty ran 1981–1989 and appears in the 1970s–2000s list within the 1980s -- then the series reboot premiered in 2017. But unlike Veronica Mars, the 2017 version of Dynasty is a new concept developed by different producers and writers. So "Dynasty 2017" was included in the 2010s list within 2017.
I know all of this can be

at first, but the more you become familiar with these lists, the easier the 1-2-3

becomes. Pyxis Solitary (yak). L not Q. 05:24, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

DYK for Cecilia Suárez

On 2 May 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Cecilia Suárez, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that actress Cecilia Suárez first met director Manolo Caro when he was 14, and would later go on to star in almost all of his films? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Cecilia Suárez. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Cecilia Suárez), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.

Hi, regarding to The House of Flowers's critical reception notes (Season 1 only etc.), I suggest using something similar to this instead of all the notes. Seasons will replace platforms. What do you think? −αΣn=1NDi+Fexti 15:52, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

@Sebastian James: Thanks, that looks much better - I made the TV ratings template, and I'll have to look at the code to see if it could support multi-platform/season. Any ideas on implementing?

I've never used Lua before, so I think using parallel parameters to the video game reviews template is fine. I also would like to offer this image for use on this page. −αΣn=1NDi+Fexti 20:22, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

I have been playing with the parallel text and thought I could get it to work from just creating a source list for seasons and the appropriate 'create item' code, but the function of the video game template goes a lot further than that. I might have to look into its data more. Re. image - I know the es.Wiki article uses one of the 2019 images, and though some of the screenshot expressions are a bit odd, I might use one from the other video (thanks for offering it). Kingsif (talk) 20:33, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

@Sebastian James: I've now tested building what this season template might look like at Template:TV reviews seasons box (it's got documentation in case someone else decides to use it, but hopefully the TV ratings template will be working by then). I've asked at the video game template if they have ideas how to help with the TV ratings template. The test shows it would look something like the table I've now added to this discussion. It seems to be alright width-wise with only a few seasons, it wouldn't be able to float if there were many more. Is this what you were picturing? Kingsif (talk) 02:37, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Yes, this is pretty much what I had in mind. Thank you so much for your work. BTW, Ready Steady Cut also gave 3.5/5 to S3 here: https://readysteadycut.com/2020/04/23/the-house-of-flowers-netflix-season-3-review/ −αΣn=1NDi+Fexti 09:25, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

I don't know what you mean by "keep it framing the subject" and "reasonable ratio". The character's face stands right in the middle of the frame. The colors of the file are the same as the original, and has much better quality than what you uploaded. −αΣn=1NDi+Fexti 18:43, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

@Sebastian James: Faces should not be in the middle of the image, though. That's not good composition. The ratio you use also made it almost square, with lots of unnecessary space around the subject of the image - and uneven amounts of space on each side. The quality improvement was negligible, if there was any at all, and there was no color change on my screen, at least. If you think the quality is better, fine, but crop it to have good framing and appropriate negative space. (Next time, add new messages in a new section - this was unrelated and hard for me to find - and make it clear what you're referring to) Kingsif (talk) 19:13, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

@Sebastian James: You should not have changed it to your image when you did not understand my rationale for reverting. This has been undone, and I strongly advise you do not change it again. The image is intended as a portrait/head shot image, which must have certain qualities (as the examples on those pages show: definitely a rectangle, head in the upper third) - the only differences between your version and my version is that yours removes these qualities. (Most photos of people on Misplaced Pages follow this rule, so consider this when adding other images, too) Kingsif (talk) 19:20, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Quality improvement and coloring is clear. If you cannot see, that's probably because you have to refresh the page or clear your web cache/delete your history. Yours had more unnecessary space than my previous one. To avoid more discussion, I uploaded a version showing close-up. Also WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. −αΣn=1NDi+Fexti 19:31, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

@Sebastian James: I can clearly see there are different images, since I can see that yours is square - maybe your 'improvements' don't show on a Mac, what I'm using, but who knows. You don't seem to understand what I'm saying about image composition, or you'd agree. You even cropped it into a close-up as a square. That's a big no. And yours definitely had more negative space, so much more I don't even need to measure it, it's clearly visible. OTHERSTUFFEXISTS doesn't really apply when every portrait image in history is done one way. You know what, I'll take your version and crop it into a decent composition. But you should try to make sure other images you upload don't look like icons, okay? Kingsif (talk) 19:40, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

May 2020

Your recent editing history at File:Paulina de la Mora s1e1.png shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Whpq (talk) 19:31, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

@Whpq: Please see the end of a discussion above where Sebastian James posted about it; I explained, he said he didn't understand but changed it anyway. This was inappropriate, and I told him so and explained again. That's what, one revert? Since there's also discussion, it doesn't seem like an edit war to me, no? Kingsif (talk) 19:34, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

It may not have technically crossed the line but it certainly seemed to be headed in that direction despite the above discussion. You are both experienced editors and so I would have expected that you both would have refrained from reverting until things had come to an agreement. -- Whpq (talk) 20:07, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

I should have - and thanks for the warning reminder - but I feel a compromise was coming quicker. Kingsif (talk) 20:10, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

A new GA review request

Kingsif, it's been a while, but there hasn't been that much to report. I do have a new one, however: Talk:Troll (Middle-earth)/GA1. The original reviewer has turned editor—or, at least said that they were, but hasn't actually made any edits to the article as yet. I was hoping that you could become the new reviewer, but did want to let you know about the previous review commentary before you started, since you'll probably want to review it. (There were also comments by another editor, but they never came back to add more.) Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:09, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Kingsif, I saw you just patrolled Diana López, thanks! I'm wondering if you mind review the prose of the article? I'm trying to stay away from Google Translate but I'm not sure about the overall quality. If you don't have the time, don't worry, cheers --Oscar_. (talk) 21:03, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

@Oscar .: I've made an edit to the lead, the rest is alright but could be tidied and with more citations. Kingsif (talk) 21:06, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Laura Harrier/GA1

Kingsif, reviewer MonkeyStolen234 has put this up for a second opinion, and I was hoping you could take a look. I was also hoping, while you were doing so, you could take a look at the article in general, and also the other five that they opened for review today (well, May 17 UTC) and passed in short order and with minimal comment, though some article edits were made on at least one reviewed article by the reviewer. Today was only their second day of reviewing, though they have been around for a while; their first review was on Friday (the only one that day), and I think they intended to pass it but never edited the article talk page. I'm afraid I don't have the energy to look into this in greater depth; it was the reviews of Davido and Wyangala that caught my eyes, since they were the oldest unreviwed nominations when they were taken for review. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:31, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: I'm seeing Talk:Davido/GA1, Talk:Laura Harrier/GA1, Talk:The Masked Singer (American TV series)/GA1, Talk:1985 Tour de France/GA1, Talk:KQQZ/GA1, Talk:James Dunn (actor)/GA1, and Talk:Wyangala/GA3, want me to have a look? Kingsif (talk) 01:50, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Please. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:51, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: (Feel free to copy this to GAN talk if brought up for discussion) I have added a full review of Laura Harrier, because I felt it needed it. I also added some comments and requested a response at Davido. I read the 1985 Tour de France article, and besides a strange bullet point and a short lead that I left a message for a main editor about, it looks fine; copyvio clear and good sources. I didn't leave any comments at the GA here. I have left a comment at the review for KQQZ, which was quite concerning because the sparse review suggests that MonkeyStolen doesn't understand the need for criteria: they failed criteria 6 but still passed without comment. Here, I suggested that they read the criteria again. This article wasn't nominated by Raymie as I expected, but I have left a message for the nominator with a brief note of my concerns, asking if they would like another review. James Dunn (actor) is a vital article, and was nominated by Yoninah, so I'm surprised the review hasn't raised concern yet. I've read it and looked at the quality of sources, and it looks alright besides perhaps too many images and the possibility of improved phrasing, but it may warrant a closer check later. The Masked Singer (American TV series), though, should not have been passed. The talk page shows multiple current and recent discussions about fairly contentious points. There's also a non-standard hatnote. I haven't left comments here, because I think a full review would be best to do, but I also think it might be easier to wait for the season to end. The copyvio concern also hasn't been adequately addressed: it looks more like an old TV upfront document on the show where a long quotation has been taken from: so long it's nearly half the source. And, I'd also suggest a full review of Wyangala: it was sitting for a long time and is on GA3, it probably needed depth and got nothing. Also some minor copyvio shows, non-quotation direct copies as well as close paraphrasing. Kingsif (talk) 03:35, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

If any of the reviews are problematic, and it sounds like a few of them were, perhaps a note would be in order suggesting that those reviews be reopened given the issues found, and a further review be done (Wyangala, certainly). The Masked Singer (American TV series) should be included, I think—it could be reopened with the understanding that while work could commence, it might be best to keep the review open at least until the current season has concluded and ratings and final reviews are available, which should be within the week anyway. I'm tempted to revert the passage of KQQZ because, as you note, it should not pass when a criterion is failed—reopening seems indicated here. (Of course, not every article that becomes a GA has images, so the lack is not necessary a disqualification.) BlueMoonset (talk) 04:51, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: I was the one who nominated KQQZ... to be honest, I was a bit surprised myself—as Raymie noted below, this is one of my first nominations; WAKR being the other. As explained on Talk:KQQZ/GA1, the lack of images is something I've been trying to figure out. Usually I err on the side of caution and will add images if they pass pre-1978 muster or are already available in the commons, so any/all guidance on how to add under fair-use is appreciated. (By contrast, I was fortunate to find pictures for WAKR and may be able to add more.) Given the rather unique subject matter at hand with KQQZ, if you or anyone else wants to look at and suggest revisions to make sure the POV is as neutral as possible, I would appreciate it so much! Already accepted Kingsif's offer to do so. Nathan Obral (talk) 16:53, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Nathan Obral, I'm not the best person to ask about non-free images and valid rationales for them, unfortunately. I'll let Kingsif handle the further review checks. Kingsif, I just noticed that Davido has been passed—you did get a response there, but I doubt it was what you were looking for, and the nominator gave them guidance on how to close the nomination after they'd taken care of the ref issue. I think a more direct post to their talk page may be in order, perhaps listing the reviews that have issues and why they should be reopened. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:34, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Kingsif, I see that you've been given permission to reopen the various reviews, which is a good thing all around. I think you should probably check them all, including the James Dunn article; Yoninah noted on the subsequent DYK nomination, after I pointed out that the DYK reviewer needed to be completely independent of the GA review and not make assumptions (and explained the situation), I was wondering why that GA reviewer didn't make me turn somersaults like most of my GA reviewers do. So perhaps some somersaults are in order here as well. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:46, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

While we're on the topic, Talk:Coat of arms of Sevastopol/GA1 just got passed. There's a few comments, but it's the reviewer's first one. Perhaps a motivational message asking for more comments next time? Kingsif (talk) 03:40, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Sure, go ahead, thanks. Probably better to their talk page—both welcome and motivational. I'm assuming you think the article appears to meet the criteria... BlueMoonset (talk) 04:51, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

It looks alright. Kingsif (talk) 19:15, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: Surprise, it's not me writing a radio article! (Nate is one of my very good friends and we have collaborated — between us we have a large article we'd like to go to FAC with and Nate also has some other stuff he's done.) I have been doing a few GA reviews lately and am honestly still really uncertain of the quality of my reviews because it's a different sort of beast than DYK. I also have articles that are GA quality but for which images are in very short supply. (Got lucky with CBUVT, currently pending review!) Raymie (t • c) 05:18, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Talk:12-3 incident/GA1

Kingsif, this is an odd one: the reviewer made a post complaining of serious issues on April 5, but hasn't edited since; the nominator has never responded to the review at all despite getting the usual "review starting" message from the bot, though they are quite active. Can you take a look, see whether the review was at all on point, and perhaps give the nominator a ping to see whether they're willing to address any issues? It would be nice to get this one decided one way or another. Many thanks, and apologies for continuing to send things your way. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:20, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: That review looks like it doesn't quite understand GA reviews, like it's giving an 'oppose' vote with reasons, based on GA criteria. I've pinged the nominator offering to take it up. Kingsif (talk) 04:41, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping on the review page. It does looks like it's being withdrawn, but best to wait for confirmation, at which point the reviewer, who has reengaged, can fail it. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:23, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Earth-return telegraph

So the number one bullet of your reasons for failing this article was this edit? You claim that it suggests that "the article is still unclear even at the basic level of 'what is earth-return telegraphy'." Really? that was a copyedit of the short description, not even visible on the page. Your implication seems to be that the article is so unclear that the editor who wrote the short description, user:John M Wolfson, did not understand it. Well let's ask him shall we? It seems to me that you were just groping at straws for reasons to fail an article written by an editor who you have fallen out with. SpinningSpark 09:59, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Without getting into the other points, a minor change to the short description does not a good reason make to fail a GAN. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 14:43, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

@Spinningspark: That was not the main reason, but something I noticed while writing that message. I had been expecting a response to the comment directly above, and had not received any even though you had been active. I resent the personal attack that I would grasp at straws to fail a GAN without good reason; if there appears to be no progress because of the editors involved I always put it up for a second opinion. But your opinion of me is clear, so please leave me alone. Kingsif (talk) 17:36, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

You led with that item in your close. It's not unreasonable to assume that it was of some importance to you in the decision to fail. I didn't reply to your last comment because it was mainly just rehashing yet again things I had already replied to. You asked "tell me where you think it's gone outside the criteria?" Pretty much the whole of the comment you were replying to was telling you that. I asked where is your position that "an encyclopedia doesn't describe" supported in guidelines? Your reply not only offered no support in the GA criteria but didn't refer to policy or guidelines at all. Your claim that "if there appears to be no progress because of the editors involved I always put it up for a second opinion" is disingenuous. My very last comment on the page was "o to a second opinion if you feel it is really problematic." You didn't do that, so clearly, you don't always do that. As for "please leave me alone", you should expect to have to justify your reviews. SpinningSpark 18:20, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

@Spinningspark: Evidently you can read "please leave me alone", so are you just going to keep harassing me in spite of it? I closed the review, with a reason (a.k.a. 'justification'). Interpret it how you will and disagree if you like, but with no activity and no response for over 7 days, that's enough reason for closing anyway. Now, your comments almost from the outset seemed to be attacking my abilities to review based on a misunderstanding, but the tone never went away, and were mostly not in good faith, but I continued; given your present insistence to keep up that thread of attacking comments despite the review being closed, be aware that I want nothing more to do with you, so please leave me alone. I would have no problem getting administrator intervention if you find you can't stop yourself from continuing to harass me about it. Move on with your life, and may I suggest being polite next time.

Scroll (web service) COI

Hi, I removed your COI tag on Scroll (web service). So far I'm the only editor and I have no relation to the company, so there's no reason for a COI tag. I made the page after the most recent Firefox update, which notifies you of Scroll integration if you make an account. After I signed up for it I noticed there was no Misplaced Pages page for it so I went ahead and made it. It's just a piece of software I like. I left up your advert tag — while I personally think the tone of the page matches the tone in the articles I derived it from, that judgment is best left to consensus opinion. Jaydavidmartin (talk) 00:35, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, @Jaydavidmartin:. The article has a fairly straightforward tone, but it's short with details that read relatively promotional (this plus only one editor can suggest COI, thanks for clarifying otherwise) for an obscure product. (If you want my advice, though I'm sure you're good, it could cut down on mentions of its subscription and 'benefits', with more about development and uses/responses, to sound less promotional). But it's a nice little article :) Kingsif (talk) 04:19, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Plumb (Field Music album)/GA1

Kingsif, I was wondering whether you'd be willing to take this on. The reviewer disappeared before they did any reviewing, and hasn't edited at all this month, and the nominator is ready for a new reviewer. Please let me know if it looks unlikely; I know you already have all the MonkeyStolen234 reviews to reopen and do. Many thanks for all you do! BlueMoonset (talk) 18:21, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, I have a bunch open already and I could get round to it, but by that point another reviewer could have done it. Kingsif (talk) 18:49, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Not sure if you're through your backlog yet—it looks like you're mostly caught up—and as this one is still unclaimed, it would be great if you could take it on. If not, though, I'll ask around. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:56, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

regarding a recent cut on entry "HK Basic Law Article 23"

Hello. Recently a cut has been made on entry "HK Basic Law Article 23" paragragh “Since then, the bill of implementing the article has not been reintroduced”. As we may be aware of, some level of change regarding the political status of HK has occurred. However, Misplaced Pages is a site of objectivity and accuracy. Therefore my stance remains that the influence that has in the past been inflicted upon the implementation of HK Basic Law Article 23 be fully told in said entry. The precise narrative may shift according to its current political status--and rightfully so--but the details of past events I hope are told nonetheless. As experienced as a Misplaced Pages user such as yourself, I would count on you to designate a narrative fit for the status quo with objectivity. Thank you. Sincerely yours, Complete&Unabridged (talk) 14:01, 5 June 2020 (UTC)Complete&Unabridged

@Complete&Unabridged: I think you're saying that changing the line about the bill not being reintroduced was wrong? I'd disagree, as while an unspecified bill has not been, the matter is clearly being debated again, so it would be false by omission to have left it as it was. I can't really understand whatever argument you're trying to make about objectivity and accuracy, but it's inappropriate to assume I was not being objective and accurate. Kingsif (talk) 14:09, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Therefore I hope that the narrative could be changed to “Since 2003 up till 2020, the bill of implementing the article has not been reintroduced” to reflect the accurate existential influences of these demonstrations/protests, because a consecutive 17 years(2003~2020) of political restraint from both the mainland and HK would be considered a fairly large fraction of the life span of a random individual as well as a political body considering they're ultimately made of real people, and would be considered historically significant in many respects. Complete&Unabridged (talk) 14:30, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Given your suggested revision is basically meaningless in English, it won't be changed to that. You can add a note yourself at the end about a 17 year gap, though it doesn't seem drastically significant, and has been at least discussed many times in that period.

Speedy Deletion - Cookie Dough Bites

Hi,

I'd request that the Cookie Dough Bites (candy) page not be speedily deleted because I am endeavoring to build it out to be a fully encyclopedic entry. I'm just still finding my way around the various ins-and-outs of Misplaced Pages guidelines.

I'm a confectionery historian, and for the post-war 20th century, I might be a preeminent authority of candy brand history. I have consulted with the Smithsonian, Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, have been featured in the New York Times and even hosted my own food history television show on Cooking Channel. I've been featured on Food Network a few times, when the history of candy or cereal comes up. So, I hope that lends me some credibility and some leeway when I state that my interest is in making sure the history of these brands is documented and documented well and accurately. My creation of this page is not meant to be a promotion, but rather an accurate and robust recording of its importance as a late 20th century confectionery brand.

I've been reading and re-reading the guidelines and have a lot of additional information to add and rewrites to do on the existing information I've posted thus far. I want to work within the Wiki guidelines to create a solid Wiki entry for this brand. Hopefully I can do so as I am working to do it the right way.

Jason Liebig New York City — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarvelJason (talk • contribs) 17:43, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

@MarvelJason: Thanks for the message, Jason; I'd be happy to help you work on it if you like. Articles on companies are more common than brands, but if there's a lot to say about it, you could build an article. You could look at the articles in Category:Food product brands, and move the draft to WP:Articles for creation if you're going to be working on it. Short articles on things like brands (and other 'products') can easily seem promotional if there's not much content about the importance as a late 20th century confectionery brand, as you put it, a.k.a. what makes it notable for an encyclopedia entry. You may want to check out WP:PRODUCT, notability guidelines specific to products. Kingsif (talk) 21:03, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi @KingSif

Thank you for that offer. I'd appreciate any help you could provide in getting this to be a proper Misplaced Pages entry. I don't see anyway for me to retrieve what I wrote already and was deleted, so I'm going to take all of the guidance I've received thus far and endeavor to draft a new article for Cookie Dough Bites and I'll ping you here when I do, to have you take a look at what I've done. I appreciate the offer of assistance and look forward to your help. -Jason MarvelJason (talk) 21:47, 10 June 2020 (UTC)MarvelJasonMarvelJason (talk) 21:47, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi @KingSif

I've spent the last several days working up a draft of the Misplaced Pages entry for Cookie_Dough_Bites_(candy) after doing a lot more research. As I was unable to get any of my original draft back, I set about to create the new draft entirely within Word, and hoping to convert it to whatever format Misplaced Pages needs. I've been having issues with that now, as none of the tutorials I've followed online seem to work.

Can you take a look at what I've got, this is the file:

Hi @MarvelJason: I don't know what tutorials you mean? You should be able to copy your draft and paste it into Draft:Cookie Dough Bites (brand) as it is. Kingsif (talk) 07:25, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif

Oddly, when I do that, it comes out as a complete mess of characters and things. I want to make sure all of the hypertext links remain intact and I agree, it seems like it SHOULD work that way, but thus far for me, it doesn't. I actually just copied and pasted an existing Misplaced Pages page from Misplaced Pages and simply pasted that INTO Word, and it retained all formatting just fine (I used that existing Misplaced Pages page as my template to create my page). Just seems like it should be as simple as you state, but in practice it is just the opposite for me. I'm not giving up.

@Kinsif

Update, I just found a tutorial that describes how to enable the "visual editor", which is turned off by default. That has changed things significantly for me and seems to have been the issue that was blocking my ability to do what I wanted to do. I have been able to transfer my working document withm formatting over to my sandbox, where I am figuring out how to tweak it before I publish the new article. Thank you for your continued help.

Template:Did you know nominations/F. Scott Fitzgerald

Kingsif, this is a weird one, in that right after Talk:F. Scott Fitzgerald/GA1 passed, another editor showed up and said that there were significant problems with the article vis a vis the GA criteria, and what I can't tell is how severe the problems actually were and whether they've been adequately addressed; the intervention was not at all collegial. The DYK nomination has been sitting there, but at the same time the GA nomination was concluded; the real question is whether the article meets the criteria or not. Can you please take a look at it? If there are significant issues, then the DYK probably shouldn't go forward without them being addressed one way or the other. Please let me know whether you think you can take a look at this one. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:44, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: Yeah, that review has ... devolved. I think starting a reassessment at a new page would be the quickest way to check out the article. It'll also let the two reviewers cool off. Kingsif (talk) 04:41, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

There's just been a query about this at the DYK talk page. I can see holding up the DYK nomination if there's an individual GA reassessment ongoing, but it's harder for a community reassessment, since they can last forever.

WikiCup 2020 July newsletter

The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

Epicgenius, with one featured article, 28 good articles and 17 DYKs, amassing 1836 points
The Rambling Man , with 1672 points gained from four featured articles and seventeen good articles, plus reviews of a large number of FACs and GAs
Gog the Mild, a first time contestant, with 1540 points, a tally built largely on 4 featured articles and related bonus points.

Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally, MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere 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).

ISSN is optional for the online newspapers

Hi, there! ISSN= and |language= is optional for the online newspapers like Guardian or New York Times in Template:Cite Web. ISSN= used usually only for paper book, and |Language= used for foreign language (not English). PoetVeches (talk) 13:02, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

@PoetVeches: ISSN and ISBN are different things, ISSN in my experience only applies to online articles and journal articles. I guess you're right that it's optional, in the same way all parameters are, but it's a great universal filing system and should be encouraged. ISBN is the one for books, and is used for both paper and e-books. Please know what you're talking about before giving this advice to new editors who may go mixing them up or excluding them for no reason. (I usually remove the language parameter when it's automatically generated by the url but I guess I forgot once.) Kingsif (talk) 13:05, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

No, we write for Template:Cite Web 2 entries necessary : title and url, - but of course it is good to add writer name, year and online paper name (website), access-date. I saw the common pattern in The Abridged Guide to the Harvard Referencing Style, but all people here on Misplaced Pages write much more detailed citations in the Templates. But you may just spare time on the details, who will search the Guardian article by issn? It's very optional, but if you want, of course, it's matter of your style to choose, and it's not important, but takes time. Best wishes. PoetVeches (talk) 13:18, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

I don't really understand most of this message. But from what I do, I have to correct you. It doesn't take time, there's an automatic tool. And ISSN is very useful for an archive, so I support everyone using it where available. Please read up, or if you don't quite understand, please don't go giving bad advice. Editors newer than I am may take you at your word. Also, please use appropriate indentation for replies. Kingsif (talk) 13:39, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

I really badly speak English. What you think is vague? Probably, you mean "Harvard style"? I wanted to say, that all Templates were invented just recently, when computer appeared, but if I want I can write in Harvard style, for example, Abraham Lincoln said (Lincoln p 78) that he has written new speech about american civil war, where he was a commander (Lincoln p 89). References (in the bottom) Lincoln, A 1777, My good speech, Pinguin Press, Washington. In all, the short information is enough to find this book in Congress library, so it's very good reference, I read this here in manual. PoetVeches (talk) 13:56, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

No, of course I understand what Harvard style means. I figured your English might not be quite good: that's what made it hard to read, with words and sentences wrong. Just, stop, okay? Your advice is bad, and I don't need, and your replies keep making it worse, so it's best to quit now. You seem nice, but I really think you need to understand refs etc. more before trying to give anyone advice. Kingsif (talk) 14:02, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

(And, for what it's worth, that Lincoln citation is also wrong. It should be "Lincoln, A. 1777. "Speech title", Penguin, Washington. Accessed July 2, 2020." And the inline citations would be "(Lincoln, "Speech title", 1777, p.78)" then "(Lincoln, p.89)". Maybe read the guide again, not that Misplaced Pages uses those kind of inline citations and the template fills in a lot for you.) Kingsif (talk) 14:10, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

"Critical acclaim"

I already rephrased "something" here, I can't rephrase a sentence that is not mentioned in any section, so I removed. You should've presented a valid reason to prove that the sentence wasn't incorrect and unsourced. I don't understand the need to turn this into a drama show. nyxærös 19:27, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

And you'll notice I had no issue with that edit, since I watch that article and saw it. I'm not the one turning whatever you think this is into drama: you, in bad faith, accused me of WP:OWN (and then of targeting your edits!). I gave a firm but polite warning saying you shouldn't do that when I am clearly just genuinely out here undoing poor edits on articles I watch (it's clear because of all the other edits I don't touch). I restate: a sentence in the lead of an article that merely summarizes a critical response section does not need a citation. This is something seen throughout many articles, written by many editors. As I suggested before, I think the issue is at your end. I'll reply no further because it's now evident you are targeting me. The conversation was over, and then you decided to come to my talk page to accuse me of starting drama - does the irony not slam you in the face? Kingsif (talk) 19:38, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Was it over though? You came back to reply to me in an edit summary and reverted my edit on my talk page and then reverted again, just to provoke and supposedly express an opinion. Then you said that I shouldn't "taunt other editors with edit suggestions" after you suggested "If you think something can be rephrased, do that yourself, rather than removing it". I left your previous edits unnoticed until now because they were not that significant (the photo being square or rectangle or whatever, for example), so this sudden "targeting" accusation does not make sense, since you are the one who has been reverting or changing my contributions for a while on specific articles, which actually makes you targeting me. I'm sure you will also see this as an "unfounded accusation", so I will just continue to overlook and move on. nyxærös 20:06, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Yes, it is completely ridiculous that you continue to claim I target your edits when you even presented evidence to the contrary. Please, escalate if you want - I just undo bad edits on articles I follow, I can't help if more than one of them is yours. And that seems to be something you refuse to accept, and in not considering that the 'good' reasoning for my actions could be the truth, you are assuming bad faith, too. All of this drama (that you are creating) is only reflecting poorly on you. Kingsif (talk) 14:08, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/The Sky Is Pink

Kingsif, this DYK nomination of an approved GA has run into trouble because of copyvio issues. The original GA reviewer would appreciate some help going forward, but for now, I was wondering whether you could take a look at it and perhaps, if you'd be willing, do an individual GAR. I suppose that if the nominator doesn't address the copyvios, then the DYK can just be failed regardless of any GAR, but it would be good to see whether it fails to meet the criteria in any other areas. Thanks for whatever you can do. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:56, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Top 25

Thanks for showing up to write it! It's slow because I try to leave it for others, and Rebestalic used to be faster in his writing, but maybe I'll do some on my own again lest everything only gets done on Thursday or later again. And don't know you connection to Venezuela, but we certainly heard a lot about the neighbors in 2018 from the ignorant right that "didn't want to turn Brazil into Venezuela" (well, the dumbass they elected is certainly doing that, in making a government relying too heavily on the military and repressing the opposition; and the Venezuelan COVID numbers numbers are certainly better!). And regarding the song you decided to Google to just keep my gimmick, here's some snark on it. igordebraga ≠ 17:14, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, I enjoy the top25 for humor, if you want another co-writer, count me in! I do not live in Venezuela (thankfully), but the comparisons were how I learnt of Bolsonaro and... well, it's self-evident. I would consider the COVID numbers are better due to a chronic disease afflicting Venezuela commonly known as 'habitually failing to report medical statistics', though the flow of people out of the country rather than in has probably postponed it.

Naya Rivera

I tried to find a paragraph that already had something related to the Jane Lynch quote and there didn't seem to be an obvious place. It would be a shame if that quote got left out.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 22:25, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

@Vchimpanzee: From news articles, all of the cast are saying similar things - many whole essays about Rivera - so (please don't think me insensitive for asking) what do you think is so important about Lynch's quote? The responses section, after other editors and I have added and edited it, is structured as 'Tahj Mowry professes his love', then 'connection with Cory Monteith', then 'Rivera's impact on Latinx and LGBT+ representation'. Perhaps other 'X said Y' responses could be added to the Mowry quotes paragraph, if they add to coverage. Kingsif (talk) 22:31, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

I only saw the one news article and that's all I saw. It didn't fit with Latinx or LGBT, or maybe it did.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 22:34, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Wait. Correction. That one news article was not the source I used. So there were two. But the Lynch quote stood out in the other to the point where it seemed important.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 22:38, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

@Vchimpanzee: Perhaps write that a lot of the cast gave responses, and mention that Lynch was one of the first, I think that's what the source said (hence why the quote is prominent near the top). Kingsif (talk) 22:42, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

I'm through for the day. That sounds like something I'd rather leave to others.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 22:50, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

I'll tell you what. Since you were willing, I'll do exactly what you said and hope that others see it not as something to revert but as something to improve.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 14:37, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Sure, I've moved it (feel free to move elsewhere) and added on to it! Kingsif (talk) 16:36, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Well, someone moved it. Where I just saw it, they were talking about other cast members who had died and it just didn't seem to fit. Now it works.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:48, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Chester station (Toronto)

I've been paying attention to this article for a while and I'm considering opening a GAR. I think the main problems at this point are the original research in Communities served which has been there since it became a GA and the coverage in the lead. I'm not sure how this article would stack up otherwise, but I would like your advice. Username 03:21, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

@Username6892: If you have OR concerns, that's definitely reason to open a GAR – I also note that it seems short on sources in the Facilities section. Reading the article, it feels like it lacks clarity in some parts/assumes a local knowledge. For general GAR advice, it helps if there is an active main editor. The first GAR I did was in relation to a DYK, and with those the DYK nominator has an interest in improving the article, but earlier this year I also did a GAR for Flagstaff, Arizona, which didn't have many editors. I think the general area of train stations is quite active, though, and there's certainly a lot of GA editors for NYC/Portland stations who might be interested. Kingsif (talk) 06:55, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Given the inactivity on most Toronto subway talk pages, I think it would be best to open a community GAR. The first person that I think of that would be of interest in the areas you mentioned would be epicgenius, though I'll have to see if anyone else is interested (The taskforce of WikiProject Toronto responsible for this appears to be inactive). Username 15:25, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Community GARs have the issue of being slow, but so would an individual GAR without a strong 'nominator'. If you put it up, I'd probably contribute, though, so you at least have two! Kingsif (talk) 22:11, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

About work ethics

Hello Kingsif, my name is Rebestalic

I would like to thank and congratulate you on your hard work. The speed in which you and Igordebraga helped finish this week's Top 25 is amazing. I had a peek at your WMFLabs edit summary, and your total edit count (as well as your daily average edit count) is boggling.

How in the world do you manage to make twenty-four edits per day? 😂 I manage about twenty-four edits per year.

I apologise for not being able to help out alongside you for the Top 25s. I will try my best to shake off the work I've been given as soon as I can.

Naya Rivera 2

I understand that Naya Rivera drowned on July 8, but her officialDate of death is July 13. It’s what’s on her death certificate. Therefore, it should be what’s on her wiki. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Parksandrecfan2013 (talk • contribs) 00:20, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Yes, that's why there's a note in the article explaining that. Right next to the date of death. Which has been discussed on the talk page already.

@Parksandrecfan2013: These are things you should check before making controversial edits, especially to recent deaths articles. Kingsif (talk) 00:23, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

@Kingsif: Yeah, I did check. And OFFICIALLY, her date of death is July 13th. Which is why the note works while having the date of death as the 13th. A person is not dead until declared dead. Until then, it’s a presumed death.

See, when I was making the same argument, I actually did it politely and discussed it in the appropriate venue with other users, rather than going to their own talk pages to treat them like idiots. You've been reported, so thanks for this evening's entertainment. Kingsif (talk) 03:48, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Greenhouse gas emissions by Turkey/GA2 redux

Kingsif, I just noticed that the nominator attempted (and failed) to ping you to see whether they'd addressed all of your issues—unfortunately, they failed to sign their posts, so the pings didn't work. Please stop by when you get the chance. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:00, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Lake Ptolemy/GA1

Kingsif, this review didn't get very far, has not been added to for over two months, and when I queried the reviewer at User talk:Vami IV#Your open GA reviews, they requested that I find a new reviewer for this one. Please let me know if you don't think you'll be able to take this one on; I noticed that you opened three new reviews about 40 hours ago. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:01, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Yes, I'm writing up the comments for some other reviews, and am otherwise "busy", so I don't think I'll be able to get to it very soon. If it still needs a reviewer in late August, I could do it. Kingsif (talk) 16:29, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

It looks like it will, since we're in mid-August. Please give it a try when you get the chance. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:18, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

My take on addressing BLP disputes

Hi Kingsif. I'm sorry the discussion has gone as it has. I hope you don't mind if I comment here on your talk page.

Given the requirements of WP:BLP, I expect editors arguing for inclusion of content to identify high-quality references for the information, quoting the relevant material if needed. From my perspective, that has still not been done in this case. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 02:48, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

I don't mind, you genuinely seem to mean well, though I still find that your requests haven't been clear. If you've left more messages at the Top 25 talk page since I did, I haven't read there yet.

I understand the need for references, but I don't know what you would like to see references to support, is what I mean. I don't think that anyone is disputing that Susan Rice sold Netflix shares a few weeks ago, and a simple check of pageviews shows that the day after (UTC), her article got more views (well, I say simple); I can provide you more references for the Netflix sales, but I wouldn't think any mainstream source is going to have a headline about WP pageviews in this case. I also don't want to weaponize the format of the Top 25 in this discussion, but I'm sure you've noticed there are many bios and news stories that involve living people on the list, and that the page does not regularly use any form of referencing - I've been reading the list for a long time but only in June, I think, started contributing to it: its style was established long before my involvement. Sometimes urls are used in the notes when it's strange (or too complex for a summary). I wonder if you mean references for any political nature of the news item? Again, nothing was being insinuated - nor do I see the text to be something one could read such intent into unless actively looking for it - and I even expanded the text to more explicitly say so (my efforts in that regard were met with preposterous from the other user).

@Hipal: I'll ping you here in case you haven't put this on your watchlist, and I would appreciate a response as to exactly what you would like to see references for? And anything else on the matter; a discussion has been started and I try to contribute and see a beneficial resolution when there are clear good intentions. Thanks for coming to me like this, Kingsif (talk) 03:56, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

I'm looking for references that support the material in dispute. The Fortune ref is it so far, which doesn't support either version of the disputed content provided. Further, nothing indicates it was anything more than trivia, nor that it stood out as an item of interest at the time. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 04:31, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

For reference, I'll add the disputed text here, version 2 then version 1:

Rice's profile rose as a possible Joe Biden running mate. She was prominently in the news, getting more pageviews, when she had to explain to the rumor mill that selling some Netflix shares was not a political move, something that really shouldn't have been in doubt.

Another candidate to be Joe Biden's VP pick, this week Rice sold her shares in Netflix. She made bank, then announced that the sale was not politically motivated.

Statements in these: 1. Rice was a potential VP candidate. 2. There was news about her selling Netflix shares in the week Aug. 2 – 8. 3. Rice's team announced there was no political motivation. 4. She would not have had to make such an announcement under other circumstances (added after a user claimed the first version was political innuendo, which... what?)

Wall Street Journal said Susan Rice, believed to be a top contender to be Joe Biden's vice presidential running mate, has sold a significant proportion of the Netflix Inc. shares she has acquired a spokesperson "the sale has nothing to do with VP speculation" on Aug. 7, so that supports #1–3.

While #4 is a bit more of the tongue-in-cheek element of the Top 25, and, arguably, the explanation from her team that Rice filed to sell stock options 3 months earlier is a subtle "we shouldn't have to say this, but here's a justification", let's look for refs; Bloomberg connects the "not political" statement to wanting to ward off a potential scandal because of how close the VP selection was, as does Barron's, and Deadline.

For timing/relevance for inclusion on Top 25 pageviews: Rice publicly disclosed that she sold the shares on Aug. 5, and news started taking hold on Aug. 6, before the "not political" announcement on Aug. 7. Here's the article's August pageviews (to Aug. 17).

@Hipal: Kingsif (talk) 05:00, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Much, much better. Thank you.

She would not have had to make such an announcement under other circumstances That's your OR and it shows how trivial it is. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 16:32, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

As said, that part was trying to appease the other user, but it is reflected in some of those sources... take it as shorthand for the more article-space appropriate "media suggested that Rice's representatives made the statement so as to ward off any scandal related to the Democrat VP selection, in which Rice was a frontrunner, to take place the following week".

I don't see how you get trivial. Hmm. The thing about the Top25 is that it can't always be given amazing sources, the same way actual academic analysis on social-oriented stats looks strongly at correlation and 'what we know about people'. I do think you're holding it to a too-high standard. E.g., this is the first week Alexander Hamilton has been out of the Top25 since the first week of July. We know it was there so long because the Broadway movie of Hamilton was released July 3 and he must have been popular since. Will there be any August sources for that? No. But there's no other reasonable answer for why Hamilton would get so many pageviews then otherwise. Similarly, why would Rice be in the Top25 the week before the VP pick when Harris and other popular candidates weren't? Or why Karen Bass was the only one of them in the Top25 the week before that? Not the politics, the media circus. When our pageviews are the data, there's only so much that can be supported from elsewhere. But I fear this is getting into a philosophical debate about the Top25 list; it's only rarely seen complaints that I know of, so two in one week was a surprise. And it hasn't changed how it operates since 2013, so if my explanations don't suffice, perhaps you can (genuine suggestion for peace of mind) just go back to ignoring it?

A lonely "(659)" in your contribution to 35 mm movie film

Thank you for adding the "Level 4" section "Becoming the standard" to 35 mm movie film.

There seems to be a lonely "(659)" after the first sentence of the last paragraph of the new section (the sentence ends with "further cementing it as the standard"). It seems that the 659 might be part of a citation. Could you check, please? Rfcstein (talk) 21:00, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
