Sorry, I didn't notice you had combined two entries. I think the XP is irrelevant to the subject of the article. Mgiganteus1 16:59, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

WP:AIV

WP:AIV is for reporting vandals that need to be blocked immediately to prevent further disruption to the encyclopedia. There's no point blocking an IP address that is shared for an edit that was probably made by someone else who has long since left. --  Netsnipe  ►  17:37, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

hi

Hi. I found you in the category of users who can contribute in English and Portuguese. I myself am a native speaker of English, but I'm well on my way to learning Portuguese. Just check out my user page and talk page, and join in any of the discussions. To keep updated, you can even put a watch on my user page, which will automatically watch my talk page. :-) learnportuguese (talk) 16:14, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Are socialites notable?

Hello! I was just looking through requested edits and found: Jamie Chua (whose talk page has been spammed by requests). Anyway, I was just going to clean up the horrible English on the page, but I didn't see anything that would be remotely notable for WP:BIO (Links for tumbler, instagram, etc. Has appeared in the Daily Mail, which isn't an RS, and I'm not sure about the quality of local news. I'm still learning things here, so I'm not sure what the next step is (or if it's been discussed before). AfD? Ask for sources? Or clean up the mess as she's notable? Thanks in advance for the help :) - ChrisWar666 (talk) 23:05, 25 October 2019 (UTC) (+ I'm off to find out where to help people if I can :D )

I wouldn't quite call the Straits Times or South China Morning Post local news, but the latter doesn't have much to say. The former appears to be the lone good source; most others to me looked like celebrity gossip magazines or clickbait. I haven't looked for additional sources; that should be done before a deletion nomination. If nothing better can be found, I'd send the page to AfD. Otherwise some gutting and rewriting might be in order. Huon (talk) 23:45, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks/Danke @Huon:! Sorry, I meant local as in "not available to me" (regional, or similar, was what I meant). Ahhh, so celebrity gossip magazines (what about as parts of established newspapers? the independent is also there) are out? There are more newspaper/magazine articles/gossip about "The size of her closet" and so on. Not notable, I presume? I'll do some googling, see if there's anything actually -notable-, then .... follow WP:BEFORE. :) - ChrisWar666 (talk) 00:32, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Edit: What about the talk page spam? I'm not sure how to clean that up a bit, if we do so 00:37, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Someone seems to have reverted all the garbled edit requests. Personally I would just have left them in place or let an archiving bot take care of it. Regarding the Independent, yes, it's a reliable source, but what does it actually have to say about her? The only hard facts about her that don't concern her closet are about her divorce settlement, and that's something every source seems to highlight. In fact, the Independent doesn't even confirm the specific statement it's cited for. Not significant coverage, I'd say, but I lean on the deletionist side of things. Huon (talk) 01:24, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

@Huon: Well, I used wp:twinkle to set up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Jamie_Chua. How does it look? (sorry if I'm using this wrongly and am bugging you, just trying to understand wiki red tape (wikicracy?)!) Oh, and also, what about the other language wikis? Some of those are based on ours - ChrisWar666 (talk) 02:49, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

I have commented; as I said, I lean on the deletionist side, so we'll see what kind of consensus will emerge. The sister projects in other languages may have different standards of notability, so I wouldn't do anything about them (except check whether they have better sources that we can take from them) unless you can read those languages and the other wikis' relevant policies and guidelines. Huon (talk) 03:26, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

@Huon: sorry to keep bugging you, but the article is suffering from one person's crusade to change birth dates. Should I do anything other than revert? BLP/N or Vandalism board? - ChrisWar666 (talk) 23:53, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

I have reverted and will leave a message on that user's talk page explaining why the source is not reliable. It's not vandalism; BLP/N might be one way to escalate if the issue persists. Huon (talk) 00:54, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

thank you for the badly-needed help you are providing on the Operation Car Wash timeline
