I've taken it out as spam rather than copyvio as the page you cited doesn't seem to contain any text at all. Now. Probably did then. Not the first time that's happened. Text can go at the first mention of a copyvio here.... It was pure unadulterated spam anyway. Peridon (talk) 20:13, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

  • Thanks for the information. I recall that the page had information at the time I visited it, from which the copyvio CSD tagging was based. Northamerica1000(talk) 20:15, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Ice luge

I just deleted a sentence which was not found in the citation. Also, words like "common" violate WP:PEACOCK.Curb Chain (talk) 00:12, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

I rewrote the sentence as a re-addition to the article, along with the source. In the future, please consider moving sources to the Further reading sections of articles, rather than removing them in entirety. Northamerica1000(talk) 00:22, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
Sure I can consider it. The source should be relevant to the article. Also, I just deleted [1] since the source has nothing the information is supposed to glean from.Curb Chain (talk) 00:24, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

The Silver Heart Club

Wikipedia is extremely confusing to someone like myself who has little experience with the layout, and rules. Thank you for helping me. From reading the notes you had written, it seems as if you have revised the biography and approved your edits? I am satisfied with what is there. I am confused with what you were saying with "copy edit", but if there is no further action that is needed from me, let me know. Thank you.

If possible, could you put "Photo credit: Calinn Weber" as the photo caption?

Thanks again! Very much appreciate your help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.124.5.136 (talk) 01:09, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Free Bullets (talk) 07:35, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello!

Hi there,

My name is Bo Weber. I represent the recording artist The Silver Heart Club. The Silver Heart Club has a distribution deal with Spotify LLC, and iHeartRadio Inc. Both companies wrote me an email explaining that I will need to submit a biography of the artist to Wikipedia, in order for our information to be viewable on the music distribution sites, for Wikipedia is where they stream information about artists from.

I have had trouble with the article being submitted, because of the "subjects notability". This artist has more than enough notability on and off the web.

url here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/The_Silver_Heart_Club

Your assistance or advise on what our options are would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Weber bo (talk • contribs) 22:39, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

  • Regarding topic notability on Wikipedia, the notability in itself is based upon Wikipedia's standards. While many topics may be notable per other standards, Wikipedia editors have developed notability guidelines through consensus regarding content in the encyclopedia. Also, per WP:NOTPROMOTION, part of Wikipedia's policy page of What Wikipedia is not, the encyclopedia is not to be used for promotional and advertising purposes. The AfC submission at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Silver Heart Club requires copy editing to eliminate promotional tone and to be written in an encyclopedic style with a neutral point-of-view.
Sources in the submission from VolumeOne magazine and the Tribune Press Reporter are functional to demonstrate notability. At this time, the topic appears to have borderline notability per WP:BAND, and copy editing the entry to base the submission solely upon what is stated in reliable sources will likely increase the chances of the submission being accepted. For example, the source [2] in the submission doesn't qualify as a reliable source, because it's a blog that is largely based upon personal opinion, and its publishers may not have a proven reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Information sourced from these types of questionable sources should typically be omitted from encyclopedia entries on Wikipedia.

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
    • Development
    • Design improvements to the SetClaim API module
    • More work on implementing the simple inclusion syntax that will be 1 way to access Wikidata data on Wikipedia
    • More work on Lua (the second way to access Wikidata data on Wikipedia)
    • Added parser page property to hold entity id in client. This fixes:
      • bugzilla:45037 - don’t show edit link if noexternallanglinks has suppressed all Wikidata links
      • bugzilla:44536 - have the edit link go directly to the Q### pages, instead of Special:ItemByTitle which shall make the link be more reliable and work for all namespaces
    • Selenium tests for deleted-property-handling
    • Selenium tests for multiline references
    • Selenium tests for add-sitelinks-from-client
    • Selenium tests for Entity-Selector-as-Searchbox
    • Selenium tests for language-table
    • Implemented in-process caching for entities
    • Lua support to access the repo data and implement getEntity (so you can use stuff like entity = mw.wikibase.getEntity("Q1459") in Lua modules)
    • rebuildTermSearchKey is now ready for production (this still needs to be run but once done it will make search case-insensitive)
    • Improved error reports from the API
    • Ground work for better edit summaries from the API
    • Added a table of content to item pages
    • Added debug functionality to be able to investigate why it takes longer than it should for Wikidata changes to show up on recent changes and watchlists on Wikipedia
    • Finished implementation of References-UI
    • Implemented GUID generator in JavaScript
    • Worked on fixing a bug related to deleted properties where the UI would display wrong information

COI Talk Template

Hi North. A while back I showed you Template:COI editnotice and you felt the notice would raise objections if applied broadly. It's been modified greatly since then to reflect WP:COI as closely as possible, be more concise, and includes a "Click here" button that auto-fills a Request Edit, etc.

I've been applying it to articles that I edit boldly and have gotten good feedback so far. I was wondering if you could take a fresh look at it and share your thoughts. CorporateM (Talk) 01:35, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

  • Hey, if it's working out, go with the flow. Information at WP:COI strongly discourages COI editing, but does not outright ban it. Per the lead section at WP:COI it is "strongly discouraged." The same goes for paid editing, in which at WP:COI it states "Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question." Perhaps utilize it on articles that have received COI editing for a limited amount of time. I've posted a comment at the discussion at Template talk:COI editnotice#Request for Comment. Northamerica1000(talk) 08:28, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
Thanks. We borrowed the language from WP:NOPAY: "you are advised to refrain from editing articles directly" but perhaps that's a problem with WP:COI that it uses different language in different spots. Your vote confirms a "no consensus" ruling for an edit-notice vs a Talk template. So maybe I'll start with a Talk template, which is less objectionable, then put it to another vote to upgrade to an edit-notice if it's successful. I asked a PR friend of mine for input and he said "yah, that would be helpful if it was on the edit-screen". CorporateM (Talk) 12:26, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Food

I see you have begun a little project of improving some food articles. Fun. Do you have any image needs? Also, what do you think of the hamburger image. I have been thinking about replacing it. Do you think it is sufficient or could a possible replacement be in order, larger, more detail, different composition?--Amadscientist (talk) 02:06, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

  • I've been working on food-related articles for a great deal of time. Check out my list above on this talk page (here) for food list articles needing more images. Images licensed under Creative commons on Flickr are often usable. Check out Flickr and then Wikipedia:Upload/Flickr for specifics. I think the lead image in the Hamburger article is fine; it is high-quality, doesn't have cheese (which would make it a cheeseburger) and adequately conveys what a hamburger is. Northamerica1000(talk) 02:35, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
I mean if you want something original.--Amadscientist (talk) 05:18, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
I see, and thanks for offering. Hamdog could use images. Additionally, I'm working on List of hamburgers, in which a few entries lack images (Barbecue burger, Carolina burger, Curry burger). Cheers, Northamerica1000(talk) 05:23, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
Update: After expanding List of fermented soy products, the following entries/articles still need images: Tamari, Tương, Yellow soybean paste. Northamerica1000(talk) 07:53, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
Also, original images are always a great improvement for the encyclopedia; feel free to prepare these foods at home, photograph them, and then upload to Commons, as time allows! Cheers, Northamerica1000(talk) 14:56, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
You bet. Some of them sound tasty...not sure about the soybean stuff but my dad used to prepare a lot of that so at least I am familiar with it!--Amadscientist (talk) 19:57, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
Baked rock Cornish game hen with roasted red potatoes, red bell peppers, yellow onions, olive oil, salt and pepper.

I started taking picks of some of the foods I thought needed replacing only because the images that were there didn't seem to represent the food in the best possible way. I uploaded this to Jambalaya.--Amadscientist (talk) 17:21, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
Looks nice in the lead at Jambalaya. That's an article that would certainly benefit from more sources and inline citations. Regarding the image, the only thing I'd change is to take the tails off the shrimp before serving it (just kidding)! Actually, the shells add flavor.

Wikidata weekly summary #50

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Development
    • Rolled out new code on wikidata.org. The new stuff you probably care about is:
      • Improved references. They can now have multiple lines. This should make references much more useful. You can now have one reference with for example values for each of the properties "book", "author", "page" to describe one source.
      • Fixed the prev/next links in diff view (bugzilla:45821)
      • d:Special:EntitiesWithoutLabel now lets you filter by language and entity type
    • Widget to add language links on the Wikipedias directly: added setting to enable/disable it per wiki and made it available for logged-in users only
    • Widget to add language links on the Wikipedias directly: improved layout / size
    • Made it so that the “edit links” link on Wikipedia is also shown when the corresponding item only has a link to this one language and no other languages
    • Submitted improved Apache config patch to make wikidata.org always redirect to www.wikidata.org, which is awaiting code review and deployment.
    • Improved the script that is responsible for taking Wikidata changes to the Wikipedias
    • Added a few ways to better debug the script responsible for taking Wikidata changes to the Wikipedias. This should help with investigating why some changes take way to long to show up on the Wikipedias.
    • Started work on automatically adding edited items to the user’s watchlist (according to preferences)
    • Finished script for rebuilding search keys, so we can finally get case insensitive matches in a lot of places
    • Support for multi-line references in diff view
    • Selenium tests for inclusion syntax
    • Improved parser function (that will be used to access Wikidata data on the Wikipedias) to accept property ID or label
    • Increased isolation of data model component to increase clarity and visibility of bad dependencies
    • Worked on schema access in the SQLStore (of the query component)
  • Discussions/Press
  • Events
    • 3rd Media Web Symposium 2013
    • Wikidata trifft Archäologie
    • SMWCon Spring NYC
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • Did you know?
    • When you edit a statement there is a little wheel in front of the text field. This lets you choose between “custom value”, “unknown value” and “no value”. “No value” means that we know that the given property has no value, e.g. Elizabeth I of England had no spouse. “Unknown value” means that the property has a value, but it is unknown which one -- e.g. Pope Linus most certainly had a year of birth, but it is unknown to us.

WikiProject Food and Drink main page

Hey, please stop making changes to the page. If you wish to make changes, please discuss it. The project page is not an article, and it is not designed to be easy contribute to. In fact, you've made the page more complex to edit as now stuff that was on the front page is now located on inaccessible sub-pages. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 21:17, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, but per WP:OWN, your stance in this instance is incorrect. Editors on Wikipedia are encouraged to be bold, and minor changes to WikiProject Food and drink's main page that I performed to encourage participation in the WikiProject are quite functional. Conversely, the notion that the project page, as you stated above, "is not designed to be easy contribute to", contradicts Wikipedia's goals to promote collaboration. Wikipedia's user-friendly interface is designed to be usable for people to contribute to, not vice-versa. Why do you prefer that the page there should be designed to be more difficult for people to contribute to, rather than easier? Northamerica1000(talk) 21:26, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
This is not an own issue, but in your case a WP:Assume good faith issue. I have dealt with this issue before with the Beer WikiProject and a consensus was reached to redesign the page. This concerns the project as a whole and changes should not be made because a single contributor doesn't like the layout. If you want to make wholesale changes to the page, please discuss it on the talk page. Further, stop playing with the code and use the sand box to get everything working before deploying it. This prevents issues from popping and leaves the code intact until a consensus is reached, if one is reached. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 04:58, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

For your tireless work improveing the lists of foods articles. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:35, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Right back at ya, and well-deserved. I am giving you The Tireless Contributor Barnstar because that's the last one you got so they will go side by side and people will think you're extra doubly tireless and possibly superhuman. Plus they spin round and round, which is good too.

And talking about superhuman, I just discovered that you've only been here since Jun 2011 and have racked up 63920 mainspace edits and nearly 120k in all. That's huge.

The tables are really starting to look good. Compare them to 2 years ago -- huge difference. Like Laura Hale once said, what's the purpose of a list that's just a list? That's the same as a category.

You know what they say, there are two kind of people in this world: those who divide people into two parts and those who don't. Kidding. There are people who like lists, and those who don't. One of the reasons I like you is because you like lists and tables. I do too.

I hope it's okay to have the colour in the tracking subpage. The bold is so hard for me to see. You can change it back if you like, or certainly pick a color: (List of colors, see bottom). And to think, you were trying to track all of this in a talk page section. Now you have a great place to keep us organized. :)

Consider getting EditPad. I don't know what you use to handle lists, but that's a great program. Tiny and with easy macros and good search and replace. It also has tabs, which is good. If you get it, I can email you the .ini file that will give you all the right goodies up top and yellow on black, which is easy to see. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:35, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello Anna, thanks! I find lists to work wonderfully for summarizing content on Wikipedia. Regarding my editing history, I had one sole previous account on Wikipedia, User:Unitedstates1000, which I created in May 2011. I liked this user name better so after creating this account I abandoned the old one. Prior to that I edited as an unregistered user. There are definitely benefits to being a registered user versus being an IP one.
As I stated on your talk page, I like the highlighting of entries at User:Northamerica1000/Food articles for differentiation purposes. That works!
I downloaded EditPad Lite (the freebie version for now) and will check it out in the very near future. Feel free to email me the ini file at any time. If you do so, just please advise after sending, because I don't check the account regularly. I look forward to further collaboration to improve the food list articles (and potentially others too).
